"I'm sorry, I—I was forced" Xuan Lefei's eyes were filled with tears, like a wronged lamb

How could Su Yu believe her biased words?

He searched her clothes and belongings; a wooden box arade spirit elixir?" Su Yu opened it up in shock, his eyes narrowing as he realized what had been inside How could Xuan Lefei, with her faround, have obtained such a precious elixir?

"Tell ets the best of me—tell me the truth!" Su Yu walked towards Xuan Lefei slowly

Xuan Lefei blinked fearfully She was short of breath; her anxiety evident in the great rises and deep falls of her chest

"It's…it's Qin Feng—heafter all! Had he collaborated with Jiang Zhishi?

Qin Feng, the second aold students, was at Level Four Lower Tier; his poas terrifying

It was him who had stolen Su Yu's childhood love! It was hi! If I don't seek revenge, I, Su Yu, ahtly

Xuan Lefei curled deeper into the bed like a little laain," she said quietly

Su Yu looked towards her, his eyes cold and distant Finally, he waved his hand and signaled for her to leave; "Reain!"

Both Su Yu and Xuan Lefei existed at the bottom levels of society, and so Su Yu empathized with Xuan Lefei's hardships Since this scheuise, he saw no reason to not show Xuan Lefei reatly relieved, hurriedly fixed her clothes before slipping out fearfully

"Oh—hey, by the way, is it true about the deuarding treasure?" Su Yu asked

Hearing Su Yu call out to her, Xuan Lefei's petite body froze and she turned back tearfully She nodded her head—lightly, like a chick pecking rice—and said, "Yes, it is true This is theher escape, out and away froh away froed and humiliated

"OhI wish I were anywhere but here! He took my spirit elixir, and even—even ht about how many playboys she had interacted with—how none of thee of her, how she had been able to protect herself… Until Su Yu, who had trapped her so easily She sobbed uncontrollably—worst of all, Su Yu didn't even seeenuinely interested in her!

Of course, the most importantit after she completed the task—just in case she failed and had to return the spirit elixir to Qin Feng But now, she had not completed the task and had lost the elixir; she did not kno to explain herself to Qin Feng

Su Yu sat cross-legged in the courtyard and looked at the top-grade spirit elixir with a sher than that of the rade was barely worth rade elixir he now held in his hands

Su Yu adjusted his position until he was co power spread through his li profusely all over his body Sweat drops trickled out from his nostrils—he was absolutely drenched

Two hours later, he awoke

Su Yu eyes flicked open; beaht shot fro sense of power spread throughout his veins; he felt as though his whole body was full of strength He felt like he could kill a large bull with one punch

"Is this what Level Three feels like? It is not too different than what I've felt before," Su Yu exclaimed excitedly; he realized that he could now defeat a powerful Level Three student like Chen Tiannan—all thanks to the strength of Universal Stroke, a low-level technique

Su Yu was so close to so much power!

However, Su Yu did not feel satisfied with hier

"Froer; there is no way I can just depend on Universal Stroke" Su Yu instantly took out the Order of Unli Zhishi—this whole so-called trap really worked out well for h it had only been a month since his last visit, Su Yu was at the Depository of Buddhist Scriptures again As per usual, the oldon the staircase, his expression indifferent Seeing Su Yu approach, he coldly stated, "Within half a year, you can only enter once"

The old man's face was unpleasant as he muttered, "I have previously told you that Cloud Shadow is hard to train—not even one out of a thousand people succeed I warned you that you would not succeed Now, you return in defeat? Now, you want to change your technique? Well, too late!"

Aardly, Su Yu held up his hand, "I know, but I have the Order of Unlimitedness"

Su Yu handed over the coin and the old htly; he stared at Su Yu intently for a moment How had this boy, a silver-ranked student, received the Order of Unlimitedness? It was curious indeed, but it was not his place to investigate; instead, the old man merely asked another question: "How is your Cloud Shadow training progressing?"

He had hoped Su Yu had quit, as he had previously pegged Su Yu as an overachiever who failed to actually achieve
