Chapter 47 – Ten days later, at the southern duel platform
Terra Su said, "Who said I have an obligation to treat the people of the Wang Family? Even if your brother dies, what does that have to do with me?"
"Terra Su!"
Olivia Wang screamed, "You're still trying to shirk responsibility here? If it weren't for your refusal to save him, how would my brother be crippled? It's all your fault, and you must take full responsibility!"
Terra Su's eyes turned cold as he said indifferently, "Sorry, my time isn't meant to be wasted on mad dogs. Goodbye."
With that, Terra Su lightly leaped over the heads of the crowd and walked forward.
"Stop him!" Olivia Wang screamed again.
Immediately, two disciples of the Wang Family chased after him from both sides, trying to block Terra Su.
But Terra Su didn't even glance at them. He spread his arms and simultaneously punched out with both fists.
The two men felt as if their chests were struck by a giant boulder, their vision went black, and they flew out like kites with broken strings.
"How is this possible?" Olivia Wang was extremely shocked. Those two weren't weaklings among the Wang Family disciples; their cultivation levels were even slightly higher than Levi Wang's. Yet, they were easily knocked away without any resistance?
Olivia Wang frowned, wondering if it was just her illusion. Terra Su's strength seemed to have significantly improved since that day at the Drunk Immortal Residence.
"Damn it, isn't there anyone who can stop him?" Olivia Wang's eyes were burning with anger, but she was helpless. The ones she brought today were all young disciples of the Wang Family, none of whom were particularly outstanding. They were powerless against Terra Su's departing figure.
However, Terra Su hadn't walked far when he heard a gentle voice, "Su Brother, leaving just like that seems a bit ungracious, don't you think?"
Terra Su stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.
A handsome young man in a moon-white brocade robe walked out of a nearby tavern, his eyes calmly fixed on Terra Su. It was none other than Miles Ye.
"Miles Ye!" Olivia Wang rushed forward like she had found her savior, her eyes brimming with tears. "Miles Ye, you must stand up for me!"
Miles Ye nodded and said, "I've heard about the whole situation."
He then looked at Terra Su and said, "Su Brother, even if we only shared a meal together, we are acquaintances. Even if we were strangers, you shouldn't ignore someone in need. You were wrong in this matter."
Terra Su looked at Miles Ye indifferently. This person was still the same as last time, speaking in that high-and-mighty, moral-judgment tone.
"I wonder what Mr. Ye plans to do with me today. Are you going to break my leg or my hand?" Terra Su sneered. He was no longer the same person who had just arrived in Clear River City. Now, even facing a Condensing Origin Realm genius like Miles Ye, he felt no fear.
Miles Ye said, "Although you didn't directly harm Miss Wang's brother, your refusal to save him was a significant reason for his crippling. I personally think it's not excessive for you to cut off an arm to apologize to Miss Wang."
Terra Su looked at Miles Ye as if he were crazy. "What if I refuse?"
Miles Ye frowned, "Then I'll do it for you."
Terra Su shook his head, feeling bored. Now that he had broken through to the Condensing Origin Realm, his mindset and perspective were entirely different from his past life. The disputes among the younger generation in Clear River City now seemed so childish.
"If you think you can, then come on!" Terra Su said calmly, then walked past Miles Ye.
Miles Ye was stunned, his handsome face gradually filling with anger. What did Terra Su mean? As an Inducing Qi Realm Martial Practitioner, he wasn't afraid of a Condensing Origin Realm genius like him and even seemed somewhat contemptuous?
The incident at the Drunk Immortal Residence had already displeased Miles Ye. Now, Terra Su's attitude made him even angrier.
"Miles Ye, this Terra Su is too arrogant. If you don't personally teach him a lesson, he won't know his place!" Olivia Wang said from the side.
Miles Ye nodded with a stern face and coldly shouted at Terra Su's back, "Terra Su!"
"If you're so confident, let's have a duel!"
Miles Ye said coldly, "If you lose, I'll break your arm in front of the entire Clear River City. Do you dare accept?"
Miles Ye was certain Terra Su would refuse!
Among the younger generation in Clear River City, no one dared to duel him!
However, Terra Su just paused slightly and said indifferently, "When and where?"
Miles Ye almost gritted his teeth as he coldly spat out a few words, "Ten days later, at the southern duel platform!"
"Fine!" Terra Su nodded, "I'll be there."
With that, Terra Su didn't waste any more time and walked away without looking back.
Miles Ye stared at Terra Su's departing figure, his eyes dark and almost dripping with anger. He hadn't expected Terra Su to actually dare accept his duel challenge.
"Miles Ye, is there something wrong with Terra Su? How dare he accept your duel challenge? You're the number one genius of the younger generation in Clear River City. Does he think his life is too long?" Olivia Wang said coquettishly, "Miles Ye, you must seek justice for my brother!"
"Of course." Miles Ye nodded indifferently. He would let Terra Su know what it meant to overestimate oneself!
...
Speaking of Terra Su.
After shaking off Olivia Wang's entanglement, he returned to the Jiang Family.
He took a hot bath and had a good sleep to replenish the energy he had spent in the mountains for half a month.
The next morning, Sophia Xu came to see him.
"Little Terra, did you encounter any danger in the mountains this time?"
Sophia Xu asked with concern. Although she knew her question was redundant—if Terra Su had really encountered any danger, he wouldn't have returned unscathed—she couldn't help but worry, especially seeing some unhealed wounds on Terra Su's arms and legs. She knew that while he might not have faced great danger, he had suffered some minor injuries.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I didn't encounter any danger." Terra Su smiled, not mentioning the incident with the Iron Armor Gate to Sophia Xu, as it would only make her worry unnecessarily.
Sophia Xu felt relieved upon hearing this.
"Auntie, have your old injuries acted up in the past half month?" Terra Su asked.
"No," Sophia Xu shook her head, then asked curiously, "By the way, what kind of elixir did you give me last time? Since I took it, not only have my old injuries not acted up, but I also feel full of energy, as if I've become ten years younger."
Terra Su laughed, "That's because Auntie is naturally youthful and beautiful. It has nothing to do with my elixir."
Sophia Xu chuckled, "You little rascal, when did you become so glib-tongued?"
