Terra Su!
Otto Jiang gritted his teeth, feeling utterly humiliated as he looked at the dense crowd around him.
But Otto knew that he had agreed to the terms himself. If he didn't fulfill them, leaving today wouldn't be so easy.
His face turned beet red, and in front of everyone, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Grandfather!"
The tone made it seem like Terra Su wasn't his grandfather but his mortal enemy.
Otto Jiang's knees hit the ground with a thud, and he kowtowed three times in Terra Su's direction.
After doing all this, Otto's face was darker than ever, and he quickly left with his subordinates.
Today, he had lost all his dignity at the duel platform in the southern part of the city.
However, Otto had to find some solace, because what he suffered today was merely a blow to his pride, while the Ye Family had truly lost a top genius, severely weakening them.
"Thank you so much this time," Emma Jiang approached Terra Su, taking a deep breath and speaking with unprecedented sincerity.
Terra Su smiled nonchalantly, "Thank me for what? You earned this spot yourself."
Although he had taught Emma the Withering and Flourishing Fist, it wasn't an easy martial technique to master. If Emma hadn't practiced day and night, she wouldn't have been able to defeat Liz Jiang today.
"If my father were still here, he would be very happy to know that I got into Tianyue Academy," Emma said softly after a moment of silence.
Robert Jiang!
Terra Su's heart was also touched by the sudden mention of this man.
In his previous life, he had never met Robert Jiang. In his impression, Robert was a legendary figure, once the top genius of Clear River City, with extraordinary talent, but he mysteriously disappeared during a family mission ten years ago.
Moreover, from some unintentional remarks by Sophia Xu, it seemed that Robert's disappearance was not as simple as it appeared.
In his previous life, until Terra Su went to the Alchemy Domain at the age of thirty, there had been no news of Robert Jiang being found.
Would things be different in this life?
Collecting his thoughts, Terra Su said, "Cousin, you should go home first. I have some matters to attend to."
He needed to go to the Alchemy Guild to refine the Leaving Fire Elixir he had promised Instructor Ouyang.
With a few swift movements, Terra Su left the duel platform in the southern part of the city.
At the same time.
Ye Family Mansion.
Several alchemists came out of Miles Ye's room, shaking their heads when they saw Steven Ye waiting outside.
"Patriarch Ye, Miles's injuries are too severe. The opponent's sword, imbued with True Essence, pierced his Dantian, completely destroying it. It can't be repaired. You must prepare for the worst."
"Prepare for the worst? How can I prepare for the worst!" Steven Ye's eyes were practically spitting fire. Miles was the most promising young talent he had high hopes for. He had just broken through to the third level of the Condensing Origin Realm, with limitless potential. Now, with his Dantian destroyed, he would be bedridden for life, a cripple. How could Steven accept this?
Miles's crippling wasn't just a loss for him but for the entire Ye Family. The family would be severely weakened because of this!
"Terra Su!" Steven Ye gritted his teeth, spitting out the name, "You crippled my Miles, and you think you can get away with it? Dream on!"
"Someone, call Henry Ye in!" Steven Ye ordered.
Meanwhile.
Wang Family Mansion.
"Patriarch, today Terra Su crippled Miles Ye's Dantian. The Ye Family won't let this go easily. I think we should…"
An elder of the Wang Family made a throat-slitting gesture as he spoke.
Joshua Wang tapped rhythmically on the armrest of his chair, pondering for a moment before saying, "Sit back and watch the tigers fight!"
The Wang Family elder was unwilling, "Patriarch, shouldn't we fan the flames a bit? Terra Su broke Sean Wang's arms. He'll be bedridden for a year or more. If we don't avenge this, where will our family's dignity go?"
Joshua Wang glanced at the elder, "Sixth Elder, I know Sean is your grandson. His arms were broken, and we will avenge this, but not now!"
"Right now, the Ye Family hates Terra Su the most. Miles Ye's Dantian was destroyed by Terra Su, and Steven Ye must hate him to the core. We don't need to do anything; Steven Ye will make sure Terra Su suffers. Why should we waste our efforts?"
"Even if, by some chance, the Ye Family can't suppress Terra Su and both sides end up severely weakened, that's exactly what we want!"
Joshua Wang's words were cold, and his lips curled up, clearly hoping to see both the Ye Family and Terra Su suffer.
Terra Su arrived at the Alchemy Guild and, familiar with the place, reported Master Mo's name, specifically asking to see him.
By now, Terra Su was somewhat famous in Clear River City. Everyone in the Alchemy Guild knew that Master Mo valued him highly and had even attended his birthday banquet. They just didn't know that Terra Su was actually an honorary guest elder of the Alchemy Guild.
"Young Master Su, please follow me. I'll take you to see Master Mo right away!" The alchemy apprentice in charge of reception said warmly, clearly considering Terra Su as a highly valued junior of Master Mo.
—It wasn't their fault. With an ordinary person's imagination, this was the most they could think of. Who could imagine that Master Mo actually regarded Terra Su as a superior, hoping for his guidance?
Soon, Terra Su arrived at Master Mo's alchemy room.
"Master Su!" Master Mo was both surprised and delighted to see Terra Su, standing up immediately.
Terra Su smiled, "Master Mo, please don't call me 'Master' anymore, whether in public or private. Just call me by my name."
Master Mo shook his head repeatedly, "How can that be!" Terra Su had guided him twice before, and in his heart, Terra Su had the grace of a teacher. It was one thing to keep a low profile in public, but in private, he insisted on calling Terra Su 'Master.'
Terra Su put on a stern face, "If you call me 'Master' again, I'll stop teaching you any alchemy knowledge."
"This—" Master Mo was troubled but finally said, "Then, I'll call you 'Young Friend Su,' just like in front of others."
"Young Friend Su, what brings you to the Alchemy Guild today?" Master Mo asked.
"Nothing much, I just want to refine a few Leaving Fire Elixirs and need to borrow the Elephant Pattern Fire Dragon Furnace," Terra Su replied. The Leaving Fire Elixir was a fire attribute elixir, and the Elephant Pattern Fire Dragon Furnace, with its fire and Yang attributes, was perfect for refining it.
