Seeing everyone staring at Su Mu, Huang Yiyun and the others grew tense again. However, they now believed Su Mu could win, perhaps even take the top spot!
"All of you want to challenge me?" Su Mu's lips curled slightly. Since they were so eager to challenge him, he couldn't be bothered to step up first.
Indeed, the new students wanted to challenge Su Mu and eliminate him early. But they weren't stupid; they had seen his eight-grade control. Even if the accuracy of the Feihong Bead was in question, failing would mean losing the qualification to fight again.
"Su Mu, I challenge you!"
Finally, a new student from the Second Division with six-grade control stepped forward to challenge Su Mu. He had been goaded into it, knowing he couldn't make it into the top three anyway. He might as well test Su Mu's strength and earn some goodwill, even if he lost.
"You? You think you're worthy of challenging me?" Su Mu looked at the new student with disdain. Just six-grade control, and he dared to challenge him?
"I'm not worthy?" The new student pointed at himself, his expression quickly twisting upon seeing Su Mu's disdainful gaze. They had always looked down on Su Mu, but now Su Mu dared to look down on him!
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
"You want to hear it again? Fine, I'll make it clear this time." Su Mu nodded, staring at the new student with a proud expression. "I refuse your challenge because you are not worthy!"
"Ah!" The new student almost went mad with rage, roaring as he was about to rush at Su Mu.
A trash with a ruined Fate Palace dared to say he wasn't worthy!
What a humiliation!
"Calm down, calm down!" Others quickly held him back. Anger was one thing, but he had to be able to beat Su Mu first.
"That felt good!" Huang Yiyun and the others exhaled deeply, their heads held high. They had endured arrogance and insults towards Su Mu; now it was their turn to taste it!
"Arrogant fool!" The new and old students looked at Su Mu with cold, disdainful eyes.
"The accuracy of the Feihong Bead test isn't even confirmed, and he's already so arrogant, thinking he's something special!"
Despite their mocking words, no other new student dared to challenge Su Mu. They were all afraid of being humiliated by him, being called unworthy by a so-called trash in public. No one wanted to suffer such a disgrace.
"Su Mu, I challenge you. I should be qualified, right?" A new student from the Third Division stepped forward proudly. He had seven-grade control!
"You, you have some qualification." Su Mu glanced at him and jumped onto the platform. If he didn't accept the seven-grade challenge, only Zhang An with eight-grade control would be left, and he wasn't in a hurry to face them.
The two stood on the platform, their gazes clashing like sparks, then focused on the Locking Energy Beads.
"Begin!" With Ma Yongfan's announcement, they immediately raised their hands to the Locking Energy Beads, starting to extract the energy within.
As soon as they began, their expressions changed. They realized that extracting the energy from the Locking Energy Beads was no easy task. It was like trying to pull energy through an iron wall without using external force, extremely difficult!
They had to break through from the inside, using powerful control techniques to make the energy break through the shell of the Locking Energy Beads!
This was the first challenge!
Everyone watched Su Mu and the other student intently. No one started a second match; eliminating Su Mu was their top priority. They couldn't let the disgrace of the new students' benefits happen again!
"Crack!"
Under their desperate efforts, a hole finally appeared in the Locking Energy Beads!
Everyone's emotions surged. Whoever opened the hole first would extract more energy and gain an early advantage!
"Su Mu was the first to extract energy!"
Seeing that Su Mu was the first to open the hole, everyone's faces darkened, turning to the Third Division student.
"Hurry up, Su Mu has already started extracting energy!"
"If you don't open it soon, you'll definitely lose!"
Everyone was anxious, shouting in their hearts.
Huang Yiyun and the others were ecstatic. Gaining the upper hand from the start, victory seemed within reach!
"Quick, quick, extract more energy, preferably all of it!" Huang Yiyun and the others cheered for Su Mu.
The Third Division student was sweating profusely, using all his strength to extract energy. If he didn't get any energy soon, he would lose for sure!
"Crack!"
Finally, persistence paid off. The Locking Energy Beads opened a hole, and the Third Division student finally extracted some energy!
Just as a smile appeared on his face, it froze the next second. He had only managed to extract a tiny bit of energy, and then... nothing!
"Where's the energy?" He tried to extract more, but the Locking Energy Beads were empty!
"All the energy has been extracted by him!" The Third Division student looked up in horror, seeing a mass of energy already gathered in Su Mu's hand. As he watched, the energy transformed into a small sword!
"No, don't!" The Third Division student's face turned pale, and he hastily formed a small shield with his bit of energy to defend himself!
Seeing his shield, the old and new students on the field despaired.
"It's over."
"Pfft... Haha, is that even a shield?" Huang Yiyun laughed at the tiny shield, barely the size of a palm. What could it block?
"It might just protect his vital parts," Wei Zhuo grinned, laughing maliciously.
Su Mu saw the small shield and couldn't help but smile. With a flick of his finger, the energy sword shot towards the Third Division student!
The student hurriedly raised his pathetic shield, but it was as fragile as paper, breaking without a sound as the energy sword pierced through!
"Whoosh!"
The energy sword went through his hand, trailing blood as it shot into the distance before dissipating!
"Ah! Ah!"
The Third Division student screamed, clutching his bleeding hand.
"Su Mu wins!" Ma Yongfan announced with a very unpleasant expression, then shouted, "Get him down for treatment!"
"Useless!" He cursed inwardly, feeling ashamed for the First Four Divisions.
Below the platform, the old and new students watched with dark, uncomfortable expressions.
"Is the disgrace of the new students' benefits going to repeat?"
"No, it can't be!"
"We have so many people, and he's just a trash with a ruined Fate Palace!"
"Senior Ma, he cheated!" In their unwillingness, a new student jumped up, pointing at Su Mu and shouting, "He used Sword Intent to harm others!"
This revelation made everyone realize. Their eyes lit up. Yes, with just that bit of energy from the Locking Energy Beads, how could it pierce a hand?
They hadn't lost; Su Mu had cheated!
"Senior Ma, he must have used Sword Intent. Otherwise, how could he open the Locking Energy Beads so quickly!"
"He definitely used Sword Intent. Otherwise, how could that bit of energy be so lethal!"
"Using Sword Intent means using his own strength. Senior Ma, eliminate him quickly!"
The crowd clamored, looking at Su Mu with rising smugness. The cheater would soon be kicked out!
