Chaotic Sword Emperor-Chapter 64 – Second or third place? Did you ask me?

Zhang An and his companion stared at Su Mu in horror, as if they had seen a ghost!
Su Mu had just raised his hand, and he had already torn open a gap. What terrifying speed and control!
"He must have used Sword Intent!" Even though they hadn't sensed the presence of Sword Intent, they were convinced. They couldn't believe Su Mu was that strong!
They turned to look at Ma Yongfan, hoping he would disqualify Su Mu, but Ma Yongfan was already stunned. When he saw them looking at him, he snapped back to reality, his face darkening instantly.
"What are you standing there for!" Ma Yongfan was so furious he wanted to slap these two idiots. At this moment, they should be scrambling for energy, not looking at him. Did they not know whether Su Mu was cheating or not?
Hearing Ma Yongfan's words, Zhang An and his companion fell into despair. Su Mu was absurdly strong; how could they possibly fight him?
"Let's go all out!"
The two exchanged a glance, gritting their teeth and desperately drawing energy. They knew their chances of beating Su Mu were slim, but they could join forces!
Both had eighth-grade control; they didn't believe they couldn't handle Su Mu together!
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
As they exerted their utmost effort, the Locking Energy Beads finally broke open, but before they could celebrate, their faces changed!
Just like the new students from the Third Division before, they only managed to draw a single strand of energy, while the rest was all absorbed by Su Mu!
Their faces turned pale as they staggered back, unable to accept the single strand of energy in their hands. Despair rose in their eyes; they no longer had the qualifications to join forces!
Was the gap between them and Su Mu truly insurmountable?
"It's over."
Seeing the pitiful strand of energy in their hands, everyone fell into complete despair. There was no need to fight anymore; Zhang An and his companion were doomed to lose!
"Why, why is this happening!"
"He crushed us into dust with the new student benefits, and now he dominates the banquet too?"
"With a trash Fate Palace, how can he surpass us!"
None of the new students could accept the fact that Su Mu had become the first. They looked at him with faces twisted by jealousy!
"At least we can secure second or third place." An older student said with a bitter smile. At least this time, Su Mu could only take first place and couldn't monopolize all the benefits like he did with the new student benefits.
Zhang An and his companion could only think this way now. They had no hope of winning and could only accept their fate!
"A low-grade spirit sword isn't bad."
"A Xuan-level Battle Technique is hard to come by."
They were already bitterly comforting themselves, but at this moment, Su Mu's lips curled into a cold smile. Did they think they could get second or third place? Did they have his permission?
With a twist of his fingers, a large mass of energy split into two, forming two small swords.
These two small swords were much smaller than the one that had defeated the new students from the Third Division, even though they were split into two. This also meant they were more powerful!
"Go!" Su Mu said softly, his eyes narrowing. If he let them take second or third place, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
"Ah!"
Seeing the two small swords coming at them, Zhang An and his companion's faces changed drastically. They looked at the pitiful strand of energy in their hands and were left with only panic!
With such a small amount of energy, they couldn't block Su Mu's energy swords at all!
"He's going to kill us!"
They saw the energy swords aiming straight for their hearts, their faces turning deathly pale. This was clearly aiming for their lives!
In an instant, they had only two choices: lose their lives or explode their cultivation to protect themselves!
In a flash, they had no time to think and chose to save their lives!
"Bang! Bang!"
They exploded their cultivation, and the energy swords hitting their chests were instantly annihilated!
Even so, they were forced back several steps!
They swallowed hard, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads!
This was just the energy from the Locking Energy Beads, and it had forced them back, causing intense pain in their chests!
"Humph!"
Their throats felt sweet, and they couldn't hold it back any longer. Blood surged up!
"Two ribs are broken!" Feeling their injuries, they didn't even dare to wipe the blood from their mouths, cold sweat pouring down!
This was just a small amount of energy, yet Su Mu's strength had reached a terrifying level!
"Going to the Chaotic Wind Tunnel has made him even more terrifying!" They looked at Su Mu with difficulty, their eyes filled with fear!
The hall fell silent!
Everyone stared at Zhang An and his companion in a daze.
"They're coughing up blood!?"
Everyone's jaws dropped, shock written all over their faces!
"They used their cultivation to block the attack, and yet that small amount of energy injured them!"
"Su Mu's strength and control are simply monstrous!"
"The Feihong Bead's test results must be wrong; his control is definitely beyond eighth grade!"
"Too terrifying. If Su Mu used his cultivation, he could easily crush Zhang An and his companion!"
Su Mu's monstrous talent made everyone present tremble!
Tian Yuyue and the other two girls were stunned, and Wei Zhuo could only smile bitterly. He had always thought he could soon surpass Su Mu, but now it seemed he was just overestimating himself, daydreaming.
"Su Mu, are you trying to kill us!" Suddenly, Zhang An and his companion roared angrily. Su Mu was strong, but if they had reacted a bit slower, they would be dead!
"Senior Ma, you saw it just now. He clearly wanted to kill us!" They turned to Ma Yongfan, hoping he would stand up for them and punish Su Mu.
"But you didn't die, did you?" Before Ma Yongfan could speak, Su Mu's playful voice rang out, "You used your cultivation. Unfortunately, you're disqualified!"
They were disqualified!
Su Mu's words hit Zhang An and his companion like a bolt from the blue, their faces turning pale again!
"Senior Ma, we..." They looked at Ma Yongfan in a daze, hoping he would tell them they weren't disqualified, but Ma Yongfan could only shake his head helplessly. Using their own strength meant disqualification; they didn't even have the qualifications for second or third place!
"No, we can't be disqualified!" Zhang An and his companion staggered back a few steps, shaking their heads in disbelief.
"Then who gets the prizes for second and third place?"
"There are no second or third places, so all the prizes naturally go to the first place." Su Mu said with a light smile, then looked up at Ma Yongfan, "Senior Ma, don't you agree?"
Ma Yongfan gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the rules were the rules. He could only nod.
This was like another thunderbolt striking their heads. Zhang An and his companion staggered back a few steps, collapsing to the ground in despair. This time, they had not only lost their ranks and dignity but also the prizes that were within their grasp!
From today on, they would be nailed to the pillar of shame!
"All the prizes for the top three? Su Mu hit the jackpot this time!"
"A low-grade spirit sword, a Xuan-level Battle Technique, a soul-recovery elixir, all his!"
"He was the biggest winner in the new student benefits, and now at the banquet too. Why did all our efforts end up benefiting him!"
Everyone was mad with hatred, envy, and jealousy towards Su Mu!
