117: Principal: That's a martial emperor-level instrument, you're really good at bragging

“What are you talking about?”

After Yu Xiu destroyed the strength testing instrument with a single sword strike, he called the President, wondering if he could get a more Advanced one.

“You said you destroyed the strength testing instrument with one sword strike?”

The President obviously didn’t believe it. “Although your strength is already at the Martial King Realm, that instrument can measure the power of a Martial Emperor.”

“Don’t tell me, you’re only at the Martial King Realm, but your strength is already comparable to a Martial Emperor? Even more powerful than an ordinary Martial Emperor?”

“Do you think I should believe that?”

“Alright, stop messing with me. The Freshmen Exchange Competition has already started. Get ready and go challenge someone!”

Hearing that the President didn’t believe him, Yu Xiu said earnestly, “President, I’m really not joking with you. It’s truly destroyed. If you don’t believe me, come and see for yourself.”

“Since you’re so insistent, then I’ll have to come and see. You’d better make sure you’re not joking, otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?”

“Nothing, see you later!”

At this moment, in the office, the President looked embarrassed, which made the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy next to him burst into laughter.

“What are you laughing at?”

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy laughed and said, “Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death, haha, I’m going to die of laughter. Why didn’t you say your catchphrase?”

Having worked together for decades, the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy understood the President quite well.

He naturally knew what he wanted to say.

“None of your business!”

“Want to fight one-on-one?”

Indeed, the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy had hit the nail on the head; the President had just been about to say that.

However, he suddenly remembered that Yu Xiu was a Martial King, and he couldn’t beat him!

So, he quickly shut up.

“I surrender, I can’t beat you.”

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy shrugged, looking very casual. “Why don’t you try Yu Xiu? You can only grow in adversity.”

“You’ve been a Nine-Star Martial Venerable for so many years. Give it a try, maybe you’ll have a chance to Breakthrough to the Martial King Realm?”

The President sighed, “It’s difficult! It’s clearly impossible for me to Breakthrough to the Martial King Realm on my own now, unless I get a Venerable-Rank spiritual material from the No Mans Land.”

At this point, he said with a wry smile, “But who would be willing to give me a Venerable-Rank spiritual material to consume!”

Venerable-Rank spiritual material is above SSS-Rank spiritual material, and it’s a rare resource even in the No Mans Land.

Although he was the President of Huaxia University, with high status and power in China, in the No Mans Land, he was nothing.

“Isn’t Yu Xiu here now!”

“Perhaps he can help you.”

The President smiled and shook his head, “Yu Xiu is my student, true, but we are mutually beneficial. He doesn’t owe me, and I don’t owe him.”

“If these things get mixed in, my original intention will change.”

“I am his President. Even if Yu Xiu is stronger than me, it should be me, his President, helping him, not him helping me.”

“I can’t help him with fighting and beating people, but I can still use this old body to fight for resources and military merits for him.”

“In short, with me, Shen Tianyang, here, no one in the China region can trick Yu Xiu. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to disagree.”

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy said helplessly, “Everyone says you, the President of Huaxia University, are thick-skinned and smooth, but after so many years, you’re still so stubborn!”

“But thinking about it, it’s true. If it weren’t for your stubborn personality, the students who have gone out over the years wouldn’t respect you so much.”

“The higher-ups wouldn’t trust you so much. These are what you deserve.”

“It’s just that this way, you’ll have to take a detour for more than ten years compared to others!”

Just as he said himself, the President’s Talent was indeed outstanding back then.

Although not as overwhelming as Old Master Chu among his peers, after Old Master Chu, it was the President who dominated that level.

It’s a pity that the President later took this position, and to fulfill his teacher’s last wish, he gave up the idea of venturing into the No Mans Land.

This was already considered self-sabotage.

“Let’s not talk about these things.”

“Let’s go to Yu Xiu’s place.”

The President returned to his playful, smiling demeanor. “That kid Yu Xiu just called me to brag, saying he destroyed the strength testing instrument in the villa with one sword strike.”

“That’s something even a Martial Emperor can use. How could he, a Martial King, be so Heaven-Defying?”

“Come with me, let’s go mock Yu Xiu properly and teach him not to brag.”

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy chuckled, “He’s a young man! Perhaps Yu Xiu has something important that’s inconvenient to say, and he’s deliberately using this excuse to get you to come over!”

The President nodded, “That makes sense. Otherwise, given Yu Xiu’s personality, he wouldn’t brag about something like this. It doesn’t fit his character.”

A moment later.

The two arrived at Yu Xiu’s villa.

Upon entering, the President asked with a look of disdain, “Didn’t you say you destroyed the Martial Emperor-Rank strength testing instrument with one sword strike?”

“Where is it? Let this old man open his eyes, so I can brag about it later.”

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy next to him couldn’t help but smile, “Stop being so Yin and Yang.”

Then he asked, “Yu Xiu, do you have something to say?”

Yu Xiu also saw their attitude and knew they didn’t believe him.

“There’s nothing else.”

“It’s just about the destroyed strength testing instrument. Come with me to see it.”

Yu Xiu didn’t want to explain, so he directly led the two to the basement. Seeing is believing!

“Holy crap!”

“Damn it!”

The two walked into the basement and, upon seeing the pitiful state of the strength testing instrument, subconsciously blurted out expletives.

“You, you really destroyed the Martial Emperor-Rank strength testing instrument with one sword strike?”

At this moment, the President’s eyes were wide like copper bells, his face full of disbelief.

Then he quickly walked over and found that the strength testing instrument’s break was indeed very clean, clearly cut open with a Sharp Weapon.

“How is this possible?”

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy was also shocked. He seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask, “Yu Xiu, are you hiding your strength again? Are you actually a Martial Emperor?”

The President also gasped.

He also thought of the rumors about Yu Xiu.

A bottomless pit!

This was what many people said about Yu Xiu.

You never knew what else Yu Xiu was hiding.

You thought he was just a Martial Venerable.

But when he fought, he was a Martial King.

You thought he was just a Martial King.

Now he destroyed a Martial Emperor-Rank strength testing instrument with one sword strike.

“You kid, you truly live up to your reputation as a bottomless pit, Breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm without anyone knowing.”

The President was shocked, but he still probed, “Yu Xiu, tell me honestly, are you already in the Martial God Realm?”

“President, what are you talking about?”

Yu Xiu said helplessly, “If I were a Martial God, would I still need to waste time here, desperately earning military merits and resources?”

“Moreover, why would I waste time forming a battle team? With a wave of my hand, who knows how many Martial Saint and Martial God would be willing to be my subordinates.”

“Actually, I’m just a Martial King, it’s just that my combat power is slightly stronger by a billion points.”

The President sneered, “You kid, you’re not being honest. If you’re a Martial Emperor, then so be it. Anyway, any bizarre incident that happens to you, I’ve already gotten used to it, I’m numb.”

“Don’t worry! I’ll keep your secret and won’t tell anyone else that you’re a Martial Emperor.”

At this point, the President glanced at the strength testing instrument. “In China, the highest Rank strength testing instrument is Martial Emperor-Rank. Now, with your strength, it doesn’t matter whether you get a new one or not.”

“Even if you get a new one, it’ll only be Martial Emperor-Rank, and it won’t withstand one of your sword strikes.”

“For you, the strength testing instrument is no longer important. The strongest person in China is only a Martial King anyway, and none of them are your match.”

“Next time you want to test your strength, wait until you go to the No Mans Land!”
