His words stunned the other candidates. Bai Yunfei said with a smile, “I mean you have been eliminated, idiot! Theoretically, countless sentences could be made from these 100 characters. However, you failed to make even one complete sentence!”

Su Yu said as he glanced at Bai Yunfei calmly, “You are not the judge, so shut up!”

Bai Yunfei said snappily, “I know I am not the judge, but the result won’t be changed…”

“You will be surprised by the result!” Master Lin said with a smile. “Congratulations, young man, you have passed the third test!”

All the rest candidates, except Su Yu, were shocked by his words.

“What about us?” Xue Qingchen said as he furrowed his eyebrows. Apparently, he was confused by this outcome.

Master Lin said with regret, “All of you are extraordinary geniuses! I believe you will definitely have better opportunities in the future!”

In other words, all of them failed to pass this test.

“Master Lin, he failed to make a complete sentence! How could he pass this test? We made complete sentences first! Why are we eliminated?” Xue Qingchen demanded.

Master Lin said with a smile, “On the contrary, he managed to make many sentences within the shortest time. More importantly, he also figured out the core information hidden in these sentences!”

Xue Qingchen asked, “What core information?”

“You should ask him,” Master Lin said as he looked at Su Yu appreciatively. “Young man, please tell them how many sentences you made within 10 breaths, and what core information you found.”

Su Yu said expressionlessly, “I guess I made at least several hundred sentences!”

“How could this be?” Xue Qingchen was surprised. Even though Su Yu was the last one to give his answer, he would have, at most, three more breaths than they did. How could he make several hundred complete sentences within three breaths?

Anyway, this was incompatible with common sense.

“Actually, the most important sentence made from these 100 characters was ‘As the Princess, I am looking for the one who could make this sentence first!’ And this sentence is the core meaning of these characters!”

Hearing this, the rest of the candidates were dumbfounded.

Xue Qingchen said with disbelief, “You mean you didn’t give your answer when you made complete sentences in your mind because you knew these 100 characters contained profound meaning, right?”

“Yes,” Su You nodded.

Xue Qingchen asked again, “How did you know these characters have a meaning?”

Su Yu replied, “It’s quite simple. The clue was in the rule. I guess you didn’t pay attention to it!”

“The rule?” Xue Qingchen and the other candidates suddenly, remembered that Master Lin said this was the last test which would decide the winner.

Su Yu said calmly, “There can only be one winner! However, according to the rules of this test, four candidates would pass this test, which contradicted the words of Master Lin! On the surface, the candidates needed to make sentences within the shortest time. Actually, the one who discovered the most important sentence would win at last!”

Hearing this, the other candidates were shocked but finally understood.

They also knew the rule of the third test contradicted itself.

However, they ignored this contradiction because of the limited time they had.

“Heh! Heh! You are really impressive!” The frail old man said with a faint smile. “This test checks the sharpness of mind and quick thinking! I am too old!”

Then, he sighed slightly as he looked at Su Yu. “Every oak had once been an acorn!”

After saying that, he jumped up into the sky and flew away instantly.

The test was finished.

Bai Yunfei didn’t believe the man he had looked down upon could win this escort task by passing all tests successfully.

“Master Lin, I don’t think the qualifications checked in these tests are enough to help the winner to accomplish the escort task successfully. Strength should be the most important factor!” Bai Yunfei said as he looked at Su Yu provocatively.

Master Lin replied as he touched his jaw, “Are you very confident about your strength?”

“I might not be very powerful, but I am definitely more reliable than this weird guy,” Bai Yunfei said as he pointed at Su Yu.

Master Lin shook his head with a smile. “If you are talking about Su Yu, I suggest you mind your words. You can’t rival him!”

The other candidates had no idea about Su Yu’s strength. However, Master Lin knew it quite well because he was shocked by Su Yu’s extraordinary hiding skill during the second test.

If Su Yu fought against Bai Yunfei when he hid, Bai Yunfei would be beaten up without being able to fight back.

“You said I can’t rival him, right?” Bai Yunfei said angrily. Then, a horrible aura gushed out from his body.

If Master Lin said Bai Yunfei was not able to rival the representatives of the three territories, he might have swallowed it, because the strength of those representatives was well-known.

However, it would be sheer humiliation for Bai Yunfei to hear he was not able to rival Su Yu.

“Of course! You are far less powerful than he is. In other aspects, I guess he is also better than you,” Master Lin said as he looked at Bai Yunfei, who was standing among the eliminated candidates with a faint smile.

His smile was like a sting for Bai Yunfei.

“Hah! Hah! Hah! At least I am a famous young expert in this city. Why do you say I can’t rival a being who came from nowhere?” Bai Yunfei said with an arrogant smile. Then, he drew out his sword and pointed it at Su Yu as he shouted, “I, Bai Yunfei, hereby challenge you!”

Hearing this, all the people became silent and started to wait for a good show.

Xue Qingchen also stared at Su Yu coldly as he folded his arms across his chest. Frankly speaking, he also doubted Su Yu’s strength because he didn’t expect a Stage Four Mortal Fairy could win over Prospective Deities.

Therefore, he was quite happy when Bai Yunfei challenged Su Yu.

At the same time, Xue Qingchen also tried to find out who humiliated him during the auction.

It was highly possible that the frail old man was that mysterious supreme guest, judging by his strength and identity. It was also possible that he changed his voice intentionally to hide his identity during the auction.

Xue Qingchen would accept the humiliation if the frail old man was the mysterious supreme guest.

At the thought of this, Xue Qingchen fixed his eyes on Su Yu again.

Master Lin said nothing, only smiled. It seemed he didn’t want to stop Bai Yunfei from challenging Su Yu.

Any dignified person would accept the challenge if they were provoked in front of so many people.

However, Su Yu replied calmly, “I won’t accept your challenge!”

Bai Yunfei replied disdainfully, “Coward! You are not allowed to reject my challenge!”

“Integration of body and sword!”

Swish!

Bai Yunfei, who had integrated with his sword, flew forward rapidly like a dragon.

His white robe and silvery sword were shining in the sky, making him look like a dazzling star.

Seeing this, Xue Qingchen nodded. “His attack is impressive and could even defeat Prospective Deities! If nobody steps out to stop him, that guy will die immediately!”

Bai Yunfei started to laugh sinisterly because his sword was about to slash into Su Yu’s body.

When the sword was only inches away from Su Yu’s chest, Su Yu was still staring at it as if he didn’t know what was happening.

“So vulnerable!” Xue Qingchen shook his head disappointedly.

However, his pupils constricted the next moment.

The bystanders were also surprised by what they saw.

At this moment, Su Yu gently placed a pitch-dark finger upon the sword.

Instantly, a gust of horrible death aura wrapped around the sword. The powerful sword started to tremble and the Sword Spirit in it was killed immediately.

The death aura started to rush towards Bai Yunfei from the handle of the sword. The next moment, his hand, which grasped the sword, was turned to black ashes.

Bai Yunfei was shocked. He cut off that arm hurriedly. Then he howled in agony as he covered the cut, which was bleeding profusely.

The arrogance in his face had been replaced by terror and fury. He continued to shout, “Bastard! How dare you wound me…”

Bang!

The next moment, Su Yu, whose body was wrapped up by a powerful water element, appeared in front of Bai Yunfei. As Bai Yunfei finished speaking, Su Yu slapped his face and knocked him back into the ruins of a mansion. Bai Yunfei was buried in the ruins.

All the people were shocked by this show of strength.

Cough! Cough!

Bai Yunfei, who still didn’t know what happened just now, climbed out from the ruins. Then, a foot landed on his face and stomped it into the dust again.

Bai Yunfei was furious. He yelled hysterically, “I’ll kill you!”

However, the next moment, a foot stomped on his mouth as well. Now Bai Yunfei was not able to speak anymore.

Bai Yunfei was beside himself. By rotating his Celestial Energy Sphere, he tried to push back Su Yu’s foot with his divine strength.

However, no matter how hard Bai Yunfei tried, he was not able to push away Su Yu’s foot, which kept pressing on his face.

Even worse, Su Yu started to increase the pressure. It seemed to Bai Yunfei his skull was about to be crushed.

The onlookers gasped on the spot!

They saw Su Yu wound Bai Yunfei and deflect his sword with one finger.

Then, they saw Su Yu slap Bai Yunfei.

After that, Su Yu placed his foot on Bai Yunfei’s face. No matter how hard Bai Yunfei struggled, he was not able to move a bit.

This was the absolute superiority, an easy victory! As Master Lin said, Bai Yunfei was not able to rival Su Yu at all!

Su Yu moved away his foot after pressing Bai Yunfei’s face deep into the ground. Then he said calmly, “You are not as reliable as you expected!”

While all the onlookers were dumbfounded, Su Yu walked back to Master Lin and said, “Could you lead me to that princess, please?”

Master Lin said as he touched his beard, “She has been waiting for you for a long time!”

After saying that, Master Lin said as he pointed at the rest candidates, “Although you failed to pass this test, you will get a gift worth 100,000 gold coins from our auction house as a reward!”

In this way, they would not go back empty-handed.

Xue Qingchen and the other two territory representatives looked at Bai Yunfei, who was in a miserable condition. Although they didn’t want to accept their defeat, they could do nothing about it.

“You are pretty good! And you were quite lucky this time!” Xue Qingchen spoke to Su Yu a little arrogantly.

He was out of luck. The divine blood of the World Annihilation Emperor, which he had coveted, was obtained by Shangguan Feiyu. The Annihilation Cannon, which he had wanted as well, was taken away by this mysterious supreme guest.

Actually, he gained nothing in this auction.

Then, all of them left the Auction House after saying goodbye to Master Lin.

At this time, Bai Yunfei had just climbed out from the ruins. His face was covered with blood. However, he still shouted harshly, “Xue Qingchen! Tong Ling is not allowed to go to the Ice Sealed River Bottom! Her place was taken by the guy in front of you!”

Hearing this, Xue Qingchen stopped and turned around to look at Su Yu. Then, he turned to Bai Yunfei and said disdainfully, “I didn’t expect you could ask your rival in love to fight for the woman you like! I really feel sorry for Tong Ling!”

Xue Qingchen said as he shook his head, “I will try to make Tong Ling happy. Anyway, the Ice Sealed River Bottom is too dangerous for her now!”

Bai Yunfei, who failed to frame Su Yu, was humiliated again. Therefore, he hated Su Yu even more. Then, he said sinisterly, “Then I guess you might want to know who took away the Annihilation Cannon and humiliated you during the auction, right?”

What? Xue Qingchen turned around again. He squinted at Su Yu and said slowly, “Do you mean that he is the mysterious supreme guest?”
