53: Qin Province's downtrodden genius surrenders to the enemy

"Boss, it's them."

At this moment, Chu Tianjiao came before Yu Xiu, pointing to a group of people not far away who were looking at them with provocative expressions.

"They are locals from the Capital."

"Many of them have already achieved a Breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm."

"I heard before that they plan to target you specifically in this Training Camp."

Yu Xiu frowned and said, "Target me?"

"That's right. Frankly, Boss, you've caused them quite a bit of psychological trauma."

Chu Tianjiao sneered, "Because of your sudden Breakthrough to Grandmaster Realm, the families of these guys used many horrific methods and resources to prevent their children from falling too far behind you."

"Although their strength has now reached the Grandmaster Realm, they've attributed all the suffering they endured to you."

Yu Xiu chuckled, "If that's the case, it seems I have quite a few enemies!"

Upon hearing this.

Chu Tianjiao also looked resentful.

"Indeed, Boss, you are now the enemy of all Prodigies nationwide."

"Including me; the Old Master also put me and my cousin through a lot."

"It's just that our Chu Family doesn't have as many resources, so they didn't make us Breakthrough to Grandmaster Realm."

"I imagine they, too, were put through a lot by their families."

As he spoke, Chu Tianjiao pointed to the Young Masters from the Qin Province's wealthy families beside him.

These individuals nodded in agreement.

Although they had complained before, after the Jiangtan cleanup operation, they now felt nothing but admiration for Yu Xiu.

"Oh, right, Tianjiao!"

Yu Xiu suddenly said, "Help me find the one hundred people with the strongest strength, Talent, and Martial Skill among them. Afterward, we'll form a class together."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Chu Tianjiao readily agreed. In his opinion, this was Yu Xiu's preparation to deal with the group from the Capital.

Thinking of Yu Xiu's formidable strength and his terrifying Psychic Talent, Chu Tianjiao felt a surge of excitement.

In the past, at the Provincial Training Camp, only the locals from the Capital dominated, while students from other provinces could only follow behind and pick up scraps.

However, the previous Training Camp had restrictions, so no deaths occurred.

But this time was different.

"Boss, it's Hong Qiang and his group."

At this moment, someone in the crowd pointed to the local Capital students not far away and shouted.

Everyone immediately looked over.

Yu Xiu didn't know who Hong Qiang was, but upon seeing the person's face, he recognized him as the Young Master from a wealthy Family who had previously gone to Jiangtan, only to be driven away later by Jiang Zuoyi.

"What are they trying to do?"

"They are defecting."

Seeing Hong Qiang leading a group of Young Masters from Qin Province's wealthy families to the local Capital students, bowing and scraping, everyone had already guessed their intention.

This scene.

It also filled the students from Qin Province with anger.

For a long time, students from Qin Province participating in the Provincial Training Camp were specifically targeted.

Actually, this matter goes back to the Chu Family Old Master's time.

However, there was no Training Camp then.

When the Chu Family Old Master was young, he was also a Prodigy who suppressed many people from the Capital, eventually earning the qualification to form a team.

It was precisely because of this.

In every subsequent Provincial Training Camp, Qin Province was the target of suppression by the local Capital students.

Speaking of which, the elders and older brothers of these people had all been humiliated by the local Capital students.

Qin Province and the Capital are old rivals.

Including Chu Tianjiao's elder brother, although he now holds a high position, he was severely bullied by Capital students back then.

"They are betraying us."

"They are defecting."

"Have they forgotten how our older brothers and elders were humiliated by Capital students in the past?"

"Don't they worry about their families punishing them for doing this?"

At this point, Chu Tianjiao interjected, "It's likely they are defecting with the support and instruction of their families!"

Speaking of this, Chu Tianjiao glanced at Jiang Zuoyi beside him.

Chu Tianjiao had also heard about the events in Jiangtan earlier.

Now that there were no death restrictions, they would not only face hunting and humiliation from local Capital students in the Provincial Training Camp but also confront top-tier Great Grandmasters like Yu Xiu.

In such a hopeless situation, the Families behind these people naturally wouldn't want their children to die in vain.

Although defecting to the local Capital students means kneeling, at least it ensures survival.

In the face of profit, these wealthy families can completely abandon all hatred.

Frankly.

This was also caused by the change in rules.

If the death restriction hadn't been lifted, perhaps these Families wouldn't have instructed them to defect.

At most, they would have allowed their Family disciples to suffer some humiliation in the Training Camp, but they wouldn't lose their lives; it would be considered a form of tempering.

"But..."

These people opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing more.

Because if they encountered such a situation, perhaps their Family would also instruct them to defect.

After all, tempering is tempering.

Death is a different matter entirely.

"Let's go!"

Yu Xiu didn't care at all about their defection; he came to this Provincial Training Camp simply to improve his strength and enhance his Talent.

As for the hatred between the two provinces, honestly, he didn't care too much.

Even if these people from the Capital harbored resentment towards him, if they came, he would just kill them.

He had already considered snatching their watches, and since he needed to form a team, he naturally required a lot of points.

Now that these people had ill intentions towards him, they would surely come looking for him.

This saved him the trouble of searching for them throughout the entire forest, saving both time and effort.

Of course!

After the ink kirin jade pendant's anomaly, Yu Xiu also gained another objective.

That was to enter the ruins deep within Wu Mountain and begin the assessment.

"Hurry and follow!"

As Yu Xiu led the way into the forest.

The people from Qin Province behind him also quickly followed.

"Yu Xiu has already reached the Great Grandmaster Realm; I heard he's at least a Five-Star Great Grandmaster, and he also has Psychic Talent."

"What do you think these people from the Capital are thinking? Even if many of them have achieved a Breakthrough to Grandmaster Realm, a large number of people isn't really that useful in front of a Great Grandmaster."

The instructors, watching Yu Xiu and his group enter the forest, asked doubtfully.

"Do you really think that the information we can know, those Families in the Capital wouldn't know?"

"Look at these Capital students now; when they face Yu Xiu, do they show even a hint of fear or dread?"

"On the contrary, each of them looks provocative, as if they're afraid Yu Xiu won't be able to find them."

"No one is a fool."

"So, I guess these Capital students definitely have some method to restrain Yu Xiu, or at the very least, ensure their survival."

"In short, it won't be that simple for Yu Xiu to kill these people."

"Only the most foolish are those Qin Province students who previously defected to the Capital students."

"Others have trump cards and deep foundations, but what do they have?"

"Do they truly believe that by defecting to the Capital, they can truly rest easy and enjoy the shade under a big tree?"

"Little do they know, the conflict between the Capital and Qin Province is not that simple."

"Back then, the Chu Family Old Master of Qin Province was so strong, and the things he did..."

"Forget it, I won't say anymore."

"They're neglecting to seek shelter under a big tree like Yu Xiu, and instead, they're heading straight into the tiger's den."

"Simply foolish beyond belief!"
