Chaotic Sword Emperor-Chapter 40 – Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

Su Mu chuckled, growing increasingly fond of the dean. Despite his lack of seriousness, he was remarkably effective when it mattered!
"People don't offend me, and I don't offend them. If others bully you, I don't care how you respond, but don't worry about the trouble you cause!" Hua Lingfeng stood up, his domineering gaze sweeping over all the new students.
His words instantly bolstered the confidence of the new students. So what if the first four divisions joined forces against them? Surrender was out of the question—they would fight for what they deserved!
Tian Yuyue and the other two women smiled approvingly at Hua Lingfeng. The old fellow was finally getting down to business.
But before they could revel in their satisfaction, Hua Lingfeng sat back down, propped up his leg, and resumed his nap.
"This old thing!"
The three women were so frustrated they could grind their teeth, but it was already commendable that Hua Lingfeng came out to encourage the new students. After all, no dean or tutor could interfere with the welfare of new students!
"Wei Zhuo, it's up to you now!" Guan Yifei turned to Wei Zhuo, seeing him as the most capable leader among the fifth division's new students.
Wei Zhuo inwardly sighed but nodded. Joining the fifth division, he aimed to be its top member. With Guan Yifei's high expectations, he naturally had to perform even better.
"Su Mu, we're counting on you this time." Tian Yuyue had her bets on Su Mu, who had grasped Sword Intent and even slain those in the Transcendence Realm. In her eyes, Wei Zhuo was no match for Su Mu.
"Instructor Yuyue, don't worry." Su Mu nodded. If the new students from the first four divisions dared to make a move, he would make them regret it for life!
Guan Yifei turned to Su Mu, a glint of admiration in her eyes, though she sighed inwardly. She wanted to have faith in Su Mu, but his talent was...
"It's all on you two now." As a tutor, she treated everyone equally, placing her hopes on both Su Mu and Wei Zhuo.
Su Mu nodded, but Wei Zhuo was somewhat disgruntled. Surpassing Su Mu was inevitable, and this was the beginning of his complete triumph!
"Su Mu, just watch. I am the hope of the fifth division, the number one!" Wei Zhuo turned to Su Mu, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
"Su Mu, let's see who can gather more Purple Orchids!" Wei Zhuo challenged, looking at Su Mu.
"Agreed." Su Mu nodded. Since Wei Zhuo wanted to face defeat once more, he was happy to oblige.
"Let's go!" Guan Yifei turned to the new students and called out, leading them from the recruitment area towards the mountain behind!
Tian Yuyue and Gu Siqing followed at the end, their gazes sharp. They might seem easygoing, but they would fight to the death if anyone dared to bully their students.
"Hmph."
The new students from the first four divisions watched the fifth division pass by with disdainful sneers. "Not afraid to die? Just wait and see!"
"Let's go!"
The new students from the first four divisions set off, not rushing to beat the fifth division. The Purple Orchids would mature tonight, and no one could ascend before they were fully ripe.
At the mountain, students from all five divisions eyed the kilometer-high peak, watching the sun slowly set in the west. Each one was determined—the first four divisions wouldn't let the fifth division get ahead, but the fifth division had to be the first, or they wouldn't even get a glimpse of the Purple Orchids.
Finally, the sun set, and night fell.
In the darkness, young cultivators emerged from the Martial House and headed towards the mountain. Their cultivation levels were formidable, the weakest at the peak of the Fate Palace Realm, and the strongest even at the mid-stage of the Transcendence Realm!
These were the older students of the Martial House, coming to watch the competition of the new students.
"Another year of new student benefits. It's hard to believe two years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"I remember when I was clueless, almost falling while picking Purple Orchids."
"Those were the days."
The older students reminisced, looking at the hundreds of new students with the eyes of experience.
"See that young man from the first division? He's my younger brother, almost an eighth-grade Fate Palace!"
"That's my cousin. I hope he does well."
"My cousin has always been pampered at home; she better not mess up this time."
The older students came to reminisce and to support their friends and family among the new students.
Some new students, seeing their relatives or clan members, felt encouraged but didn't get distracted. They kept their eyes on the mountain, ready to start picking Purple Orchids.
"Time's up!"
"Charge!"
Guan Yifei timed it perfectly, shouting the moment it arrived.
"Charge!"
The new students from all five divisions charged towards the mountain like tigers, all for the Purple Orchids, for first place, for the Chaotic Wind Tunnel!
"Get out of the way, you think the fifth division can pick Purple Orchids?"
"Get lost!"
"A bunch of trash, you think you're worthy of picking Purple Orchids?"
As soon as Su Mu and his peers charged out, the disciples from the first four divisions immediately intercepted them, attacking to injure!
"This is outrageous!"
The new students from the fifth division were furious. Did they look like they could be bullied at will?
"Boom, boom..."
"Ah..."
As soon as the fight began, the gap between the fifth division and the first four divisions was glaringly apparent. Dreams are just dreams, and reality is cruel. Except for Anqing City, the strongest new students from the other two cities had joined the first four divisions. And since they were united, the fifth division couldn't hold them back. They were beaten down the mountain in an instant!
"Get lost!"
"You too, get down!"
Su Mu, Huang Yiyun, and Wei Zhuo were also targeted, but they were no pushovers. They retaliated fiercely, sending the disciples from the first four divisions tumbling down the mountain!
In the end, out of forty-eight new students from the fifth division, only Su Mu and two others stood on the mountain.
"Charge!"
The beaten fifth division students glanced at Su Mu and his companions, gritted their teeth, and charged up again, only to be beaten down once more, this time unable to even stand!

"This is too much!"
Guan Yifei's eyes blazed with fury, and Tian Yuyue and the other woman were close to tears. But they couldn't intervene; this was an internal struggle among the new students.
"Well done, does the fifth division even deserve to pick Purple Orchids?" The older students cheered, looking down on the fifth division, none of their friends or family had joined it.
Su Mu watched as the fifth division students were beaten down again, anger igniting in his eyes. If the first four divisions were so oppressive, the fifth division would never rise, and their arrogance would only grow, causing endless trouble for him!
Now was not the time to only look out for oneself.
"Su Mu, let it go. We should just take care of ourselves." Wei Zhuo saw Su Mu turning and quickly spoke up. Dreams are fine, but reality is harsh. The first four divisions were too strong; they couldn't stop them, and it was already a feat to protect themselves.
"Are you scared?" Su Mu turned to Wei Zhuo and asked.
"Scared? I just don't want to affect our competition." Wei Zhuo couldn't admit to fear and simply snorted in denial.
"It won't affect it. I plan to pick more Purple Orchids. I want to make sure they don't see a single one!" Su Mu's mouth curled into a wicked smile, his eyes flashing fiercely.
Wei Zhuo was tempted. If they could beat down those hundreds of people, how many more Purple Orchids could they pick? Fortune was within reach!
"Just the two of us?" But then Wei Zhuo hesitated, facing over two hundred people!
Su Mu nodded, his power surging. What did it matter if there were over two hundred? Just do it!
"Fine, I'll go crazy with you!" Wei Zhuo gritted his teeth, turned, and rushed down alongside Su Mu.
"And me!" Huang Yiyun joined in, her own family members among those beaten down. How could she stand by?
The three exchanged smiles and stepped forward, blocking the path of the disciples from the first four divisions!
"What are they trying to do?"
The leading disciples of the first four divisions looked back, and those below looked up at Su Mu and his companions, their eyes cold.
"They want to stop over two hundred people with just the three of them?"
"And face the attack of another hundred from behind? Have they lost their minds?"
The actions of Su Mu and his companions were undoubtedly insane. Everyone at the foot of the mountain changed expressions, and Guan Yifei and the others were stunned. The audacity of Su Mu and his friends was beyond belief!
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
All the older students scoffed in disdain, crossing their arms and watching Su Mu and his friends court death!
