Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1124: The Significance of the Top Ten

”How is she doing?” Lü Donglin asked.

Su Yang looked at Hu Xiexie and said softly, ”She’s fine, she’ll recover after a few days of rest.”

Lü Donglin breathed a sigh of relief. The plan tonight was jointly decided by him and Su Yang. However, with what had happened, causing Hu Xiexie to suffer such misfortune, he felt extremely apologetic.

Knowing that Hu Xiexie was not in danger for her life, he had nothing to worry about.

”What about Zhao Jun?” Su Yang suddenly asked.

The very reason Su Yang was able to plan in advance with Lü Donglin was because of Zhao Jun.

After being persuaded by Su Yang to leave Qinghe Academy, Zhao Jun immediately called home, especially to announce the good news to his brother.

The news shocked his brother greatly.

And as it happened, his brother was one of the many subordinates of the Beigong War God.

Once the news spread, it naturally reached Lü Donglin’s ears.

Lü Donglin had someone contact Zhao Jun to inquire about the incidents at Qinghe Academy.

Then, through Zhao Jun, he got in touch with Su Yang to formulate this plan.

Looking back, the plan between Su Yang and Lü Donglin was a result of Zhao Jun pulling strings in the middle.

Without Zhao Jun, Su Yang and Lü Donglin would not have met to this day, and naturally, such a plan would not have existed.

Previously, when Su Yang brought Hu Xiexie to the small restaurant, Lü Donglin’s threat to make Su Yang hand over Hu Xiexie and Huo Qianfang was also a performance, staged for Wu Feizhi and Zhao Dongming to see. It made them believe that the conflict between Su Yang and Lü Donglin was irreconcilable and that a decisive battle was inevitable.

Even the fight between Su Yang and Lü Donglin at the small restaurant was meant to let Zhao Dongming gauge Su Yang’s strength, to estimate how long Su Yang could last under Lü Donglin’s hand. That’s why Zhao Dongming set a ten-minute deadline.

Latterly, when the real fight started, Su Yang and Lü Donglin battled in the air, out of sight, and no one could see how they were actually fighting. In truth, the two were merely putting on a show in the sky, the loud noises were just for show; there was no real exchange of blows.

Su Yang’s fall was part of the act, to lead these people to believe he was defeated, prompting them to attack Lü Donglin.

Su Yang then seized the opportunity to eliminate the subordinates of Zhao Dongming and Wu Feizhi.

The original plan was for Su Yang and Lü Donglin to join forces to defeat Zhao Dongming and Wu Feizhi, to completely resolve the issue.

However, the appearance of Ge Kaiyang directly affected the entire battle situation, leading to Zhao Dongming and Wu Feizhi’s escape; their plan could only be deemed a partial success.

Fortunately, Xiao Huang appeared in the end and took down Ge Kaiyang; otherwise, the situation would have been even more troublesome.

”He has already gone back,” Lü Donglin said. ”This matter will soon be uncovered. I’ve sent him to my uncle; that way, no one can harm him!”

Su Yang nodded. Zhao Jun was his friend, and having played such an important role in this matter, Su Yang naturally didn’t want him to be in any danger.

Zhao Dongming, Wu Feizhi, and Ge Kaiyang were all extremely cunning individuals. To deal with these three, one could of course not take things lightly.

”By tomorrow night, I should recover seventy percent of my strength, I can help you hold off one of them,” Su Yang said.

”No need,” Lü Donglin shook his head. ”I can handle it alone.”

Su Yang glanced at Lü Donglin; he had to admit, Lü Donglin’s strength was indeed formidable. The first time Su Yang met him, they had a brief sparring, and Su Yang was certainly not his match now.

But for Lü Donglin to take on Zhao Dongming, Wu Feizhi, and Ge Kaiyang alone, that wouldn’t be an easy task.

”After this battle, I’ll leave Qinghe Academy,” Lü Donglin said. ”From now on, the senior class of Qinghe Academy is up to you.”

”Why?” Su Yang couldn’t help but be astonished; Lü Donglin’s words were so sudden. He had been busy for so long, everything had been settled, so why was he leaving? Didn’t he intend to vie for the top ranks of the senior class?

”My purpose in entering Qinghe Academy was to defeat Zhao Dongming, to break down these people from Capital City!” Lü Donglin said. ”As for other matters, they have nothing to do with me, and I don’t need them.”

”Then stay, at the very least you can become one of the top ten in the senior class,” Su Yang said. ”It won’t take much time.”

”Becoming one of the top ten in the senior class indeed won’t take long, but the problem is what follows will be a lengthy distraction,” Lü Donglin said. ”I don’t want to waste time on that.”

”What?” Su Yang was puzzled; what did that mean?

Lü Donglin looked at Su Yang’s astonished expression and paused for a moment. ”You... you don’t know what it means to be among the top ten of the senior class?”

”I don’t!” Su Yang replied directly, he obviously had no idea.

”Then what are you doing at Qinghe Academy?” Lü Donglin asked in surprise.

”Because a very close person to me asked me to come,” Su Yang paused. ”What does it actually mean to be among the top ten of the senior class? Why are so many people striving for it?”

”The way you speak, you really don’t know what Qinghe Academy is about!” Lü Donglin said.

Su Yang shook his head; of course, he didn’t know, it was a secret he had always wanted to learn.

”Qinghe Academy is actually a place to select talents,” Lü Donglin said. ”Those who ultimately become one of the top ten in the senior class will be sent to ten sects to become the successors of these sects.”

Su Yang was stunned; this was the first time he’d heard this.

”Which ten sects are they?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”They are ten Superlunary Sects, and moreover, they are all exceptionally powerful,” Lü Donglin said. ”These ten sects are places where even the Law Enforcers cannot interfere. I don’t know much either, only hearing about a few of them from my uncle, like Thousand Snow Palace, Innate Sect, Great Might Dragon Gate, and so on; in any case, they are sects not usually seen in the world.”

Listening, Su Yang was dumbfounded; he had never heard of these sects before. However, Lü Donglin’s mention that even the Law Enforcers could not interfere, greatly shocked him.

How powerful must those sects be that even Law Enforcers could not meddle with? They must be places as strong as the Su Family of Yanbei!

No wonder so many people wanted to be among the top ten of the senior class. If they could become one of the top ten, they would have the chance to enter these ten sects and become their successors. In other words, to have the opportunity to practice in these sects that even the Law Enforcers couldn’t reach was an incredibly enticing prospect.

Such sects, whether it was secret techniques, cultivation resources, or background strength, were all extraordinary. Who wouldn’t envy that, who wouldn’t desire it?
