Chapter 43: Dan Sui
Since Su Hao single-handedly defeated all the third grade students, the restless atmosphere in the academy had become much quieter. Everywhere, one could see students immersed in their training.
Everyone now had a new understanding of the situation.
"So, this is what Wu Xiangwu meant by the responsibility of a strong individual!"
In their eyes, Wu Xiangwu had used his strength to forcefully change the atmosphere of the entire academy, awakening many complacent students. He fulfilled the "responsibility of a strong individual" as the top expert in the academy.
At the same time, many prodigies began to reflect deeply on themselves: Am I really qualified to be called a genius?
The image of Su Hao, who was once known as "Furious Flying Man Wu Xiangwu," had become glorious. Many of the absurd things he had done in the past were now being studied and analyzed seriously, leading to some seemingly profound life philosophy.
On this day, Xiaopang found Su Hao with a worried look and whispered, "Xiangwu, I received some insider information. I heard that Dan Sui is planning to seek revenge on you. He threatened to kill you. You have to be careful."
Su Hao raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Who is Dan Sui?"
Xiaopang gestured with his hand and said, "He's the hedgehog-headed guy whose crotch you kicked. He's a third grade student, and I heard his family has some connections. He has hired powerful assassins to get rid of you."
Upon hearing this, Su Hao nodded and said, "Alright, understood."
Xiaopang exclaimed, "Wait, Xiangwu, aren't you worried? Assassins! They could really kill you!"
Su Hao smiled and said, "Would worrying prevent him from coming?"
Xiaopang asked anxiously, "Then, why don't we seek help from the teachers?"
Su Hao replied, "What can you accomplish by finding the teachers? Would the teachers follow you around just because of such baseless rumors?"
Xiaopang slumped down, feeling helpless. "What should we do then? Should I go home and ask my father for help? My father is very powerful, he can definitely protect you."
Su Hao shook his head. Even Uncle Li would not necessarily be able to defeat him now, so what use would his father be?
Su Hao put down his book and said seriously to Xiaopang, "If you really want to help, gather as much information as you can about Dan Sui. Find out where he often appears, his family background, where he lives, and so on. If he dares to send someone to assassinate me, I will go and take care of him."
Xiaopang hesitated and finally asked, "Are you serious, Xiangwu?"
Su Hao nodded. "Of course."
"Alright, just be careful!" Xiaopang nodded and left.
After Xiaopang left, Su Hao's gaze turned cold.
He wasn't surprised. He had known that there would be follow-up troubles. Now, he was thinking about how to solve this problem at its root.
Living in this world, one would always have intricate relationships with others. When one trouble was eliminated, another person would appear in the name of seeking revenge for the first one. The more people he killed, the more enemies would be involved, and it would never end.
Unless he killed everyone with a grudge and completely eradicated them.
But that was obviously not realistic.
Su Hao had been reborn into this world with a clear goal in mind: to live as long as possible and learn as much knowledge as he could. When he reached a certain level, he would contribute to this world to the best of his ability.
However, simply wanting to stay alive was extremely difficult. Various unexpected events could take his life away, and he had always been trying his best to avoid such incidents. But once he became involved with others, it was hard to escape from troubles.
He could only face them directly and crush all the troubles with his immense power.
Su Hao sat by the window in the Lingyun Library, contemplating for a moment. Then, he got up and went to find Liu, the bald instructor who was in charge of his class.
After finding Liu, Su Hao said seriously, "Teacher Liu, do you have some time? I have some questions I want to ask you."
Liu didn't seem surprised that Su Hao had come to find him and smiled, saying, "Sure. Shall we go somewhere else to talk?"
Su Hao looked at the other teachers curiously glancing in their direction and nodded, "Alright, let's find a quiet place where we won't disturb others."
"I know a place, follow me." Liu stood up and gestured for Su Hao to follow him.
The other teachers, like Feng Man'er, disappointedly continued their lively discussion about Su Hao, expressing their opinions and arguing passionately.
...
Su Hao followed Liu to a quiet little forest. It was serene and refreshing, with a stone table and two stone stools in the middle, making it a perfect spot.
"Sit down and let's chat!" Liu sat down first and pointed to the seat opposite him.
Su Hao sat down after nodding.
Before Su Hao could speak, Liu smiled and said, "I guess you came to me about Dan Sui, right?"
Su Hao nodded first, then shook his head, "Yes and no. It's mainly about the martial artist issue."
Liu nodded understandingly, "That piece of news is true. Dan Sui has indeed hired someone to assassinate you. More accurately, it is Dan Sui's father who has hired assassins to get rid of you."
Su Hao frowned, "Dan Sui's father?"
Liu said, "Dan Sui's father is an high-level elite martial artist. He does have some connections and resources, but he doesn't have any powerful background. Just a small trouble."
Su Hao asked, "Can he hire a master martial artist?"
Liu burst into laughter, "How is that possible? Master martial artists are not cabbages. They are not so cheap. Each master martial artist is a precious combat force for the human race. They all have their own tasks and would not bother with such trivial matters."
Su Hao nodded, feeling relieved.
Liu's voice became firm, "Don't worry! This is Lingyun Martial Arts Academy. No outsider can kill any of our students within the academy's jurisdiction, not even a master martial artist."
Su Hao immediately thanked him, "I understand. Thank you, Teacher Liu."
Then he asked the question he was most concerned about, "Teacher Liu, my Elite Blood Energy has reached the limit of my body. Although it can still be enhanced by waiting for my body to grow, the cost-benefit ratio is too low for me. So, I want to advance to the level of a master martial artist within these few months. Please guide me, Teacher Liu."
"Huh?" Liu's smile froze, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and asked in a daze.
Su Hao didn't reply but stood up and walked to an open space on the side. He clenched his right fist, and Elite Blood Energy instantly filled his entire arm.
Su Hao shouted lightly and punched the ground.
"Boom!"
Soil and gravel splattered, leaving a one-meter-deep pit on the ground.
