2172 A Slap

“That’s a good idea,”

Pang Yu nodded slightly with a smile. “Well, I’ll give you a choice. You can either apologize or head to the Sword Discourse Arena to receive your lesson!”

Elder Teng’s plan was foolproof.

Even if Su Zimo apologized in public, he could say that Su Zimo was insincere and continue to make things difficult for him repeatedly.

“Fellow Daoist Su, it’s fine to apologize to him. You won’t lose anything either,”

When Princess Scarlet Rainbow saw Su Zimo standing silently, she thought that he was conflicted and could not make up his mind, so she sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness.

At that moment, the commotion here attracted almost half of the outer sect disciples of the academy.

In the eyes of everyone, although it was ugly and embarrassing to apologize in public, it was much better than being beaten up by a Heaven Immortal on the Sword Discourse Arena.

Right in front of everyone, Su Zimo suddenly smiled.

“Sure, let’s head to the Sword Discourse Arena,”

Su Zimo said with a smile.

The surroundings went silent for a moment before a commotion broke out.

“Is Su Zimo crazy?”

“That person is arrogant and conceited. I can already tell back at the Immortal Sect Selection. I reckon he hasn’t suffered a setback before!”

“Fufu, he’s truly asking for trouble. He thought that he could salvage his dignity by not apologizing. However, he did not know that it would be even more embarrassing if he was beaten up by Elder Teng!”

Many outer sect disciples shook their heads.

Those outer sect disciples had only heard of Su Zimo’s name from some news of the Immortal Sect Selection and did not have a deep understanding of him.

In fact, many people thought that the rumors of the Immortal Sect Selection were most likely exaggerated.

Yang Ruoxu frowned slightly as well. He looked at Su Zimo sternly and asked in a deep voice, “Are you sure you want to go to the Sword Discourse Arena?”

According to the rules of the academy, private fights between disciples of the same sect could only be conducted on the Sword Discourse Arena and no one was allowed to interfere.

On the Sword Discourse Arena, divine powers and secret skills could be released as they wished. However, life and death battles were forbidden and Essence Spirit secret skills were not allowed.

A fight between Essence Spirits was way too dangerous.

Even if the victors won, their Essence Spirits would be severely injured.

The academy did not want any disciples to be injured.

Even so, if Elder Teng wanted to teach Su Zimo a lesson, he could beat the latter up severely and shatter his physical body.

Earth Immortals could regrow severed limbs but they were not at the level of Blood Rebirth yet.

If his body was shattered to an irreparable state, it would be equivalent to losing his original body and he would have to look for another body.

This was no longer a matter of losing face.

“Sure, I’ll give it a try,”

Su Zimo shrugged his shoulders slightly, looking relaxed and nonchalant.

His reaction naturally attracted the disdain of the outer sect disciples once more.

However, Yang Ruoxu did not show any contempt. With a grim expression, he reminded again, “Don’t think that you guys are only two cultivation realms apart. You have to understand that the difference between you guys is between an Earth Immortal and a Heaven Immortal!”

“Heaven Immortal experts can…”

“That’s enough!”

Before Yang Ruoxu could finish, he was interrupted by the impatient Pang Yu.

“Junior Brother Yang, you’re not the one going on the Sword Discourse Arena. Why are you so nervous?”

Pang Yu sneered, “Either apologize or fight on the Sword Discourse Arena! Stop being wishy-washy!”

Although Yang Ruoxu did not finish, Su Zimo knew that he was reminding him that Heaven Immortal experts could release supreme divine powers.

That was the greatest means and reliance of Heaven Immortal experts!

However, although Su Zimo was a Grade 8 Earth Immortal, his Essence Spirit realm had already reached the level of a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal and he could also release supreme divine powers.

Yang Ruoxu did not continue speaking after being interrupted by Pang Yu. However, he was still looking at Su Zimo.

Su Zimo nodded slightly and gave Yang Ruoxu a reassuring look.

Yang Ruoxu felt relieved.

He had witnessed Su Zimo’s strength and potential personally during the Immortal Sect Selection.

Back in Coiling Dragon Valley, no one thought highly of this scholarly young man. Even the four of them did not think that this green-robed scholar could survive against the sabers of more than a hundred fiendish Execution Guards.

However, it was proven that all of them were wrong.

Therefore, Yang Ruoxu believed in Su Zimo.

However, he still did not know how Su Zimo, who was only an Earth Immortal, was going to deal with the power of a Heaven Immortal and the supreme divine power of one!

“Let’s go,”

With a relaxed expression, Su Zimo seemingly muttered to himself, “An unforgettable lesson, I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Hahahaha!”

Elder Teng reared his head in laughter. “Don’t worry, your wish will come true soon!”

Be it in the outer or inner sects, there were many Sword Discourse Arenas.

Naturally, the so-called sword discourse was not a simple sword competition—it was a spar between fellow sect mates.

Before long, everyone arrived at the Sword Discourse Arena closest to the outer sect’s Essence Spirit Pavilion.

The commotion here even attracted some inner sect disciples passing by and the surrounding crowd grew larger.

In the academy, every single spar on the Sword Discourse Arena would attract everyone’s attention.

This time round was the most special.

That was because the difference in cultivation between the two people on the Sword Discourse Arena was immense—one was an Earth Immortal and the other was a Heaven Immortal!

One was an outer sect disciple and the other was an outer sect Disciplinary Elder!

The Sword Discourse Arena was made from a gigantic rock and had sufficient space for the two people in the spar to release their divine powers and secret skills wantonly.

“Everyone, how many rounds do you think Elder Teng will take to win?”

“That’s not for sure. The main thing is to see how many rounds Elder Teng wants to go for. If Elder Teng wants to win quickly and releases his supreme divine power in the first round, Su Zimo will lose.”

“Even a cat will not kill a mouse it’s hunting right away. I reckon Elder Teng will spend some time playing with this person on the Sword Discourse Arena.”

The surrounding cultivators discussed fervently. Su Zimo and Elder Teng had already ascended the Sword Discourse Arena and stood facing one another.

“Lad,”

Elder Teng looked at Su Zimo and could not suppress the excitement in his heart as he smiled. “Actually, I’m doing this for your own good! At least, you can survive after I teach you a lesson in the academy.”

“If you behave as arrogantly as you did outside the academy, you would have died a long time ago!”

Su Zimo ignored Elder Teng. Instead, he looked in the direction of Yang Ruoxu and Pang Yu and asked loudly, “Can we begin the discourse?”

“As long as you’re on the Sword Discourse Arena, you can start at any moment!”

Elder Teng burst into laughter.

Before his laughter ended, Su Zimo vanished from his line of sight!

“Watch out!”

The next moment, Pang Yu’s voice exploded in his ears!

At that moment, his heart seemed to have stopped beating!

Elder Teng did not have time to think about why Su Zimo suddenly disappeared. He channeled his Essence Spirit with all his might and conjured hand seals with both hands, wanting to release a supreme divine power!

Initially, he wanted to hold back.

However, at that moment, he only wanted to survive!

Yet, even with Pang Yu’s reminder, he lost the initiative.

Su Zimo used the True Dragon Nine Flashes and crossed a hundred feet. As though he had teleported, he descended beside Elder Teng and slapped the latter on the back!

Bang!

Flesh exploded and blood filled the skies!
