Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2103 - 2201: Utterly Pathetic! (Third Update)
Previously on Urban Super Medical Sage...
One must admit, Ke Wuxin possesses quite a silver tongue, truly captivating.
It's remarkably infectious.
Initially, all the Sons of the Emperor and the high-ranking officials present from the Imperial Academy were left in a state of stunned disbelief, their expressions grim, filled with anxiety, confusion, and a palpable, trembling dread.
Yet, one by one, their blood began to boil with fervor.
Indeed!
This is a world of martial cultivation, after all.
Strength reigns supreme.
No matter the method Su Chen employed to render the three envoys so inexplicably peculiar, what consequence could it bear? Once Su Chen is vanquished, the three envoys would naturally revert to their former selves.
That is the sum of it.
"Ke Wuxin!"
"Ke Wuxin!!"
"Ke Wuxin!!!"
.........
Fueled by their elation, the entirety of the Imperial Heart Plaza transformed into a human ocean, with every individual vociferously chanting Ke Wuxin's name, their voices escalating into a formidable, palpable aura.
"Ke Wuxin is no match for Blood Cang Realm," Aunt Lin stated calmly from below.
"Ah?" Xia Geng gasped, drawing a sharp breath.
"Why is that?" Xia Geng questioned, utterly bewildered and stunned anew.
"His adversary is someone he cannot afford to provoke," a trace of disdain flickered across Aunt Lin's features. That insignificant Ke Wuxin actually dared to clash with Su Chen? And he presumptuously labeled Su Chen as trash? Preposterous, utterly laughable.
To put it plainly, Aunt Lin was utterly convinced she could eliminate Ke Wuxin with a single strike.
Furthermore, Aunt Lin held an even stronger conviction that if Su Chen so desired, he could dispatch her with a solitary move.
The chasm between them was incomprehensible, wasn't it?
Words failed to capture the immensity of it, right?
Ke Wuxin's perception of Su Chen as mere trash? As waste? This is truly the blind audacity of ignorance.
Frankly speaking, the entire Imperial Academy is riddled with an unimaginable degree of imbecility.
Based on the account provided by the Sixth Dean earlier, it was revealed that Su Chen once had the unequivocal opportunity to join the Imperial Academy. However, due to the Academy's excessive pride, believing that there was no distinction between first and second place, they neglected to secure Su Chen, the genuine top contender. Instead, they appointed Ke Wuxin, the runner-up, to replace Su Chen as number one and enter the Academy.
Consequently, they forfeited the chance to recruit Su Chen.
And the Imperial Academy actually reveled in their perceived cleverness.
Utterly pathetic!
Were Su Chen a member of the Imperial Academy, Aunt Lin mused, the Academy's standing would undoubtedly ascend by a full ten tiers from that point onward.
Given Su Chen's peerlessly unmatched talent, his arrival in the Grand Cosmos World would inevitably lead to his renown spreading like wildfire in a short span.
At that juncture, all the major powers across the entire Grand Cosmos World would likely endeavor to uncover Su Chen's origins. With Su Chen hailing from the Imperial Academy, the Academy's name would undoubtedly resonate throughout the Grand Cosmos World...
Such a heaven-defying ascent, such a golden opportunity, and the Imperial Academy let it slip through their fingers.
And they continued to plume themselves on it, imagining themselves astute.
Heavens!
If Aunt Lin possessed the license to utter profanities, she would have unreservedly hurled the epithet "dumb~~~~fuck!!!"
Any faction that once held the potential to acquire an invincible prodigy like Su Chen and subsequently relinquished that opportunity is undeniably a dumb~~~~~fuck.
Should Su Chen have deigned to join the Blood Cang Realm, Aunt Lin sincerely believed that even if the Blood Cang Realm instantly appointed Su Chen as the Lesser Domain Lord, it would have been a worthwhile endeavor.
Alas, Aunt Lin was acutely aware that Su Chen would likely not even cast a second glance at the Blood Cang Realm.
Indeed, the Blood Cang Realm holds the status of a Sixth-Rank power, which is considerable, but that is solely applicable to ordinary prodigies. For an individual of Su Chen's caliber, even Fourth-Rank or Third-Grade attainments would not be beyond his reach at all.
"Aunt Lin, we truly do not need to consider Ke Wuxin. He harbors a profound animosity towards that Demon, a very deep-seated one. I... I surmise he is unlikely to survive," An Yu stated softly.
Xia Geng remained silent, a spectator on the sidelines. He genuinely felt that Aunt Lin and An Yu had perhaps partaken in something beyond their usual sustenance.
Naturally, he refrained from voicing such an observation.
He could only patiently await.
Await Su Chen's demise, perhaps then Aunt Lin and An Yu would regain their customary composure.
"Sixth Dean, dispatch him," Fu Qianjiu commanded after a moment's pause, his voice measured.
The Sixth Dean was precisely the individual who had journeyed to the Deceptive Realm Battle Domain previously.
At that time, upon his descent into the Deceptive Realm Battle Domain, the Sixth Dean did not exhibit exceptional strength, but in truth, to merit the position of Sixth Dean of the Imperial Academy, his power must have been formidable.
It was merely that his presence in the Deceptive Realm Battle Domain, given it was Great Luo Heaven and not Traceless Heaven—akin to descending into a lesser Martial World—resulted in a suppression of his abilities.
Subsequently, fueled by Ke Wuxin's ascendant trajectory, the Sixth Dean's standing experienced a meteoric rise, granting him access to enhanced Martial Cultivation Resources. Over the preceding several centuries, his strength burgeoned exponentially.
Presently, the Sixth Dean had attained the Middle Stage of the Third Level of the Divine Lord Realm.
For the Sixth Dean to intervene and eliminate Su Chen would be akin to employing a nuclear payload to obliterate a mere chicken.
However, to swiftly conclude matters with Su Chen, this was the sole viable path.
"Indeed." The Sixth Dean nodded solemnly, inwardly releasing a sigh of relief. To be candid, he had desired to handle this personally. In his estimation, Su Chen's continued survival and his audacious appearance at the Imperial Academy, disrupting Ke Wuxin's grand occasion, meant he bore a measure of responsibility. This was a predicament he himself had created, and thus, he felt compelled to resolve it.
Moreover, eliminating a mere Half-Step Divine Sovereign Realm 'trash' was an exceedingly simple task, far too simple.
On the Martial Performance Stage, Ke Wuxin appeared poised to speak but refrained.
Frankly, he yearned to take action himself.
But Fu Qianjiu had already issued his decree.
Furthermore, with the Sixth Dean dispatched to deal with Su Chen, he was certain of success, a hundred percent.
Despite Su Chen's formidable Outclass Fighting ability demonstrated previously,
Ke Wuxin held no belief that Su Chen could truly transcend realms and vanquish the Sixth Dean. Without attaining the Divine Lord Realm, one could never comprehend its true terror. At the Divine Lord Realm, to leap even one Minor Realm is akin to ascending to the heavens in a single bound. It bears no resemblance to Su Chen’s past feats of overcoming opponents in the Hollow Void Realm or Ancient Realm.
"If the Sixth Dean finds himself unable to manage, then you may intervene. Otherwise, it would be deemed beneath you," Fu Qianjiu, perceiving his disciple Ke Wuxin's thoughts, remarked.
"Mm." Ke Wuxin assented. Precisely, while it was somewhat regrettable not to personally dispatch Su Chen, engaging him directly would indeed be lowering himself. A cultivator at the Sixth Level of the Divine Lord Realm confronting a Half-Step Divine Sovereign Realm opponent—it was akin to a majestic Divine Dragon deigning to battle a humble sparrow. Such news would undoubtedly provoke widespread ridicule.
Concurrently.
Su Chen’s gaze met that of the Sixth Dean.
The Sixth Dean returned the stare, his eyes blazing with a bone-chilling killing intent.
The animosity fueling the Sixth Dean's intent to kill Su Chen ran remarkably deep.
And naturally, Su Chen’s own animosity towards him was equally profound.
"Young man, previously, your companions, your family, and your woman all implored me to shatter the Deceptive Realm Battle Domain and rescue you. Yet, this old man declined. Do you comprehend the reason why?" The Sixth Dean suppressed his murderous intent for a moment, speaking with a soft tone, his aged eyes fixed intently on Su Chen.
Su Chen listened in silence, offering no reply.
"In reality, saving you posed no difficulty. For the Imperial Academy, breaching the Deceptive Realm Battle Domain would have been trivial, requiring virtually no effort whatsoever. However, this old man still refused, for there was simply no necessity."
"And the ensuing events vindicated my decision, proving it to be the most critical choice of my existence."
"You are not without merit. At such a tender age, reaching the Half-Step Divine Sovereign Realm—within the esteemed Imperial Academy, such an accomplishment still registers as notable talent."
"But the individual who superseded you, Ke Wuxin?! When juxtaposed with him! You are inferior by an immeasurable gulf!"
