In the eyes of the crowd, there was a look of reverence: “It’s Senior Brother Nangong Lin, the number one genius of our Martial Dao division and Dean Wu’s personal disciple.”
“My goodness, Senior Brother Nangong Lin rarely appears in public. I didn’t expect him to show up here today.”
Terra Su’s gaze also turned to Nangong Lin, and he immediately recognized him as the sword-dancing genius he had seen in Dean Wu’s courtyard that day.
At this moment, Nangong Lin’s gaze swept over Terra Su, and he was slightly surprised but quickly regained his composure, clearly recognizing Terra Su as well.
“Isaac Hua, haven’t you finished sparring yet? Why is it taking so long?” Nangong Lin turned to Isaac Hua and asked.
Isaac Hua quickly cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to Senior Brother Nangong, I was just about to tell you, I was sparring with Julian Xue, but this guy kept giving Julian pointers from the side, interfering with our sparring, making it impossible to proceed.”
“Giving pointers from the side?”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Lin cast a deep gaze at Terra Su.
A Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level could actually give pointers to a Transforming Realm first-level genius?
Moreover, Terra Su shouldn’t even know the cultivation methods and martial techniques Julian Xue was practicing, so how could he possibly understand?
Seeing Nangong Lin’s expression, Isaac Hua knew he was skeptical, so he quickly pointed to the onlookers present and said, “They can testify, it was indeed this guy who was giving Julian pointers, disrupting the fairness of the sparring!”
“That’s right.”
“It really was like that.”
The surrounding people immediately voiced their agreement, affirming Isaac Hua’s words.
Nangong Lin’s aura surged, and the presence of a mid-Transforming Realm genius bore down on Terra Su as he asked, “Your name is Terra Su, right? Don’t you know that third-party interference is strictly prohibited during sparring?”
“I only know that Isaac Hua not only bullies the weak, using his Transforming Realm third-level against a Transforming Realm first-level but also attempts to secretly harm his sparring opponent. In such a sparring match, is there any need to talk about fairness or justice?”
Terra Su looked at Nangong Lin calmly.
“How dare you! I am the Dean’s personal disciple, your senior brother, and yet you dare to speak to me in such a tone.”
Nangong Lin’s face changed slightly, scolding.
Terra Su smiled indifferently, “I always speak in this tone. If you’re not satisfied, you can come and spar with me.”
Nangong Lin’s expression turned cold. Naturally, he couldn’t go and spar with Terra Su. As a dignified mid-Transforming Realm genius, it wouldn’t be honorable to challenge a Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level.
“Let’s go.”
Nangong Lin gave Terra Su a cold glance, waved his hand, and left the small square with Isaac Hua and a group of followers without looking back.
However, don’t think Nangong Lin just left it at that; he was merely biding his time.
He would never let such a matter rest. He would thoroughly investigate Terra Su’s background and character before deciding what to do.
“Who is this guy, daring to go against Nangong Lin?”
“Don’t you know him? He’s the top freshman this year and the only one among the new students to receive a Silver Medal.”
“This Terra Su even dares to disregard Nangong Lin’s face. Nangong Lin is not someone to mess with. The Nangong family is very powerful, and Nangong Lin himself is the top student of the Martial Dao division.”
“Forget it, let’s leave here quickly to avoid getting involved and bringing trouble upon ourselves.”
The crowd discussed and soon dispersed from the small square.
Only Terra Su and Julian Xue were left in the small square.
Julian Xue struggled to get up. It must be said that the Blood Barbarian Clan’s lineage was indeed excellent. Although Julian Xue’s body was covered in wounds, it was easy to see that these wounds were already beginning to heal, clearly a result of the Blood Barbarian Clan’s bloodline at work.
After thinking for a moment, Julian Xue spoke, “Why did you help me? Aren’t you afraid of offending Isaac Hua and Nangong Lin?”
Terra Su smiled, “Maybe it’s just because I can’t stand by when I see injustice.”
Julian Xue shook his head, “I don’t believe there are such noble people. Let me tell you, I come from a poor family with nothing to my name. You won’t gain anything from me, so don’t waste your effort.”
“In that case, you can become my subordinate,” Terra Su said.
“I’m leaving now. I owe you for saving my life today, and I’ll repay it someday,” Julian Xue immediately turned to leave, unwilling to become Terra Su’s subordinate.
After all, he was a student who had received a Silver Medal, and calling himself a genius was definitely justified. How could he be willing to be someone else’s subordinate?
Terra Su didn’t chase after him, only saying leisurely from behind, “Don’t you want to avenge your humiliation? Don’t you want to win back your woman?”
Julian Xue immediately stopped in his tracks. He turned to Terra Su and said, “I’m not looking to get back with that woman, but I do want to avenge my humiliation.”
“What if I say I can help you avenge your humiliation?”
“Are you serious?” Julian Xue’s eyes lit up.
“You just said it yourself, you come from a poor family with nothing to your name. What would I gain from deceiving you?” Terra Su smiled.
Julian Xue thought for a while and finally made up his mind, “Alright, I agree to be your subordinate. But if I can’t surpass Isaac Hua within a year, then we’ll dissolve our master-subordinate relationship, and this year will count as repaying the favor of you helping me just now. If I can surpass Isaac Hua within a year, then I’ll serve you loyally for life.”
A year?
Terra Su smiled, thinking that was underestimating himself.
“Does it need to be that long? Three months is enough.”
When Terra Su said this, Julian Xue was shocked, his mouth agape.
Impossible, right? In just three months, he could surpass Isaac Hua? It sounded like a fantasy.
“I’ll teach you a cultivation method. Abandon your current one and switch to practicing mine.”
As Terra Su spoke, he gestured for Julian Xue to come closer and then recited a cultivation method formula to him.
“A body cultivation method? The ‘Great Strength Burning Heaven Sutra’?”
Julian Xue was incredibly surprised. He hadn’t expected Terra Su to teach him a body cultivation method. Body cultivation methods were very rare, and many focused solely on enhancing the physique without also improving cultivation, making them seem quite useless.
He wasn’t currently practicing a body cultivation method but an ordinary one. Therefore, his physique cultivation was chaotic and unsystematic, relying solely on some innate talents to train his body.
However, when Julian Xue tried to run the ‘Great Strength Burning Heaven Sutra’ that Terra Su taught him, he discovered that this method not only provided a systematic way to cultivate the body but also didn’t slow down the improvement of his cultivation level, truly balancing True Essence and physique.
Most importantly, this method seemed tailor-made for him, as he found it exceptionally smooth to practice.
