Ti quickly passed by seven or eight days!
During these days, Bi Heng beca even more of a focus wherever he went, surpassing even more prominent young talents for a brief period!
He thoroughly enjoyed this!
As for the upcoming life-and-death duel, he wasn’t worried at all, because to him, life and death ant he lived, the opponent died!
After all, whether one’s cultivation reached the Tongxuan Realm or not was another matter entirely!
This was the thought shared by most people!
Including Mo Feng and Jiang Shiqi, otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone out of their way to persuade Su Chen together!
Yet, Su Chen remained uninterested in external affairs, focusing wholeheartedly on cultivation!
During this period, Su Chen’s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, nearing perfection in the Earth’s Ultimate Realm!
Such speed would astound others if they knew, but for Su Chen, it was commonplace, quite satisfying, though expected!
Finally, the day of the life-and-death duel with Bi Heng arrived!
"Alright, let’s settle this first, then return to cultivate!"
Su Chen thought to himself.
...
The Life-and-Death Platform was situated at a rather remote part of the academy, not frequented by many under normal circumstances!
But today was an exception, it was bustling with noise, surrounded by layer upon layer of crowds!
Not only that, even three to four elders arrived, and one of them was naturally Mo Feng!
A seasoned elder also ca, it was Elder Zhuo whom Su Chen and the others t when they first arrived here!
Normally, such affairs would not bother soone like him, but Elder Zhuo had a deep impression of Su Chen, so he ca.
"Elder Mo, why didn’t you try to dissuade him and let him act recklessly?"
At this mont, he glanced at Mo Feng beside him and frowned.
"Oh, I did try to persuade him, my lips are chapped, but that kid didn’t take it seriously!"
"Hmph, what ignorance, to think he could compare to Bi Heng now, he’s not a match at all!"
Elder Zhuo snorted:
"Moreover, both individuals are outstanding students of the academy, losing any one of them would be a great loss!"
"Of course I’m aware, I approached both of them, but neither showed any room for compromise!"
Mo Feng responded sowhat aggrievedly:
"They insist, what can I do about it?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhuo sighed, knowing Mo Feng spoke the truth, it was academy rules!
If both insisted on proceeding, even the headmaster couldn’t object!
Several nearby steward elders overheard their conversation and beca curious, seeing Elder Zhuo hold the newcor in high regard!
Of course, though it seed Su Chen still had so gap compared to Bi Heng, which was normal—as it would be monstrous for a newcor to already reach Tongxuan Realm strength!
"By the way, that kid hasn’t arrived yet, could he be chickening out at the last mont?"
Elder Zhuo glanced at Bi Heng, already on the Life-and-Death Platform.
"I hope so!"
Mo Feng smirked.
Jiang Shiqi and others shared a similar sentint, arriving early!
Of course, they didn’t go to Su Chen’s room, as that would remind him!
They would prefer Su Chen forgetting or backing out!
However, knowing Su Chen, such a possibility was very slim!
"That Su kid won’t have turned into a coward, will he?!"
"I think so, he was boasting about daring a life-and-death duel with Brother Bi!"
"Hmph, but didn’t he flee at the critical mont?"
"Good thing, otherwise he’d be throwing his life away for nothing!"
.......
At this ti, many students were hotly discussing, both genuinely and to flatter Bi Heng!
Suddenly, a stir erupted as soone walked over!
Soon, everyone realized it was the slowly approaching young man, the other party in the duel, now widely known in the academy—Su Chen!
Unexpectedly, he really showed up!
"It’s him, indeed!"
In the crowd, a pair of beautiful eyes brightened slightly upon seeing Su Chen.
She was the girl Su Chen t on the third floor of the Martial Pavilion; though she usually ignored other matters, she heard about the newcor challenging Bi Heng despite not reaching the Heaven’s Ultimate Realm!
After all, this event had been hotly discussed recently throughout the academy, heard wherever one went!
She naturally linked back to the day she encountered the rather strange man in the Martial Pavilion!
Mo Feng and Jiang Shiqi and others felt a jolt in their hearts as Su Chen appeared!
This guy still showed up in the end!
As Su Chen approached, the crowd parted, forming a path for him to walk to the Life-and-Death Platform!
Seeing Su Chen approach step by step, Bi Heng narrowed his eyes!
"I thought you were scared and wouldn’t co!"
After Su Chen stepped onto the platform, Bi Heng glared at him closely.
"Scared?"
Su Chen curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth:
"You? You’re hardly worthy!"
"I’ve heard this kid is extrely arrogant, and now it seems true!"
"Hmph, being arrogant depends on against whom! Acting so arrogantly against Bi Heng ans he’s asking for trouble!"
"I think he knows Bi Heng won’t spare him, so he’s throwing out bold words intentionally!"
"Probably, all he can rely on now is his mouth!"
.......
As the words fell, an uproar arose from the crowd!
Bi Heng’s face turned grim instantly, affirming that engaging in verbal sparring with this guy never ends well!
"Hmph, let’s see what makes you so presumptuous!"
Bi Heng said coldly.
Since verbal disputes were futile, he prepared to act.
"No rush!"
Su Chen shook his head slightly and smiled.
"You’re not planning to beg for rcy now, are you?"
Bi Heng sneered upon hearing this.
Su Chen shook his head again, then step by step approached Bi Heng:
"Beg for rcy? You’re overthinking it."
"Then what do you an?"
Bi Heng was suddenly confused.
"I think, the reason you challenged in a life-and-death duel isn’t just to avenge your brother, right?"
Su Chen suddenly whispered.
At these words, Bi Heng’s face changed drastically, then snorted:
"I don’t understand your aning!"
"Don’t understand?"
Su Chen laughed profoundly and took two more steps, closing the distance to him, then gently muttered:
"Four!"
Although Su Chen rely uttered one word, Bi Heng felt as though his heart had been violently struck!
He actually knows?!
