Chapter 145: Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]

Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 19, 2025

The first round of competition continued.

Several monstrous students performed exceptionally.

Zheng Yunhui encountered a student who had just entered the Nourishing Essence Realm and defeated him in the blink of an eye, leaving the stage proudly.

Zhao Shiqi remained calm and collected, winning easily.

Hu Qiusheng went on stage with a smile and left with a smile.

Zhang Hao, a monstrous student from the Divine Rune Academy, easily defeated a top-tier student from the Divine Literature Academy.

The monstrous student from the Willpower Academy was surprisingly a girl named Su Meng, sharing the same surname as Su Yu. She also easily defeated a top-tier genius.

All eight monstrous students won easily.

From this, it can be seen that the results of the entrance exam are, at least for now, quite accurate.

Others, like Wu Lan and Xia Huyou, also won, but not easily, as they seemed to have been engaged in fierce battles.

Jia Mingzhen and the others didn’t participate. These guys came but kept chatting in the corner, possibly to hide their strength or because they disdained participating.

…………

After the first round, 99 people remained.

However, not all 99 people participated in the next competition. Some, having exhausted too much willpower and considering that the competition wasn’t a major event, chose to withdraw.

In the second round, only 92 people participated.

…………

“None of the monsters encountered each other…”

Su Yu was also watching coldly. None of the monsters had encountered each other, making him suspect that there might be some behind-the-scenes manipulation in the drawing of lots.

Just as he was thinking, someone appeared beside him.

Xia Huyou squeezed over again and whispered, “Su Yu, how is it? Can you make it into the top ten? A lot of people are betting against you making it. Are you confident? If not, I’m closing your bets!”

Su Yu’s performance in the first round against Hu Zongqi wasn’t impressive.

It took too long!

Unlike Zheng Yunhui and the others, who resolved their matches quickly and decisively.

Su Yu smiled, “Guess. If you give me half of it, I’ll find a way to get into the top ten…”

“…”

Xia Huyou was speechless. This guy only thinks about money.

“The bets aren’t big, just a few points of merit to play with…”

Xia Huyou said helplessly, “You want a piece of this too?”

Su Yu ignored him. At that moment, the second round of drawing lots began.

Just as his hand entered the iron bucket, a piece of paper stuck directly to his hand. Su Yu was about to stir it up and draw a new one, but the instructor suddenly took the iron bucket away and started the next person’s drawing.

Su Yu frowned and glanced at the instructor holding the box, who was unfamiliar. He didn’t show anything unusual.

“Coincidence?”

That paper just happened to stick to his hand?

After everyone else had drawn, Su Yu opened the paper and looked at it: Number 2.

Su Yu’s brow furrowed!

This meant that he would be the first to go on stage in the second round!

Who is Number 1?

…………

Not far away.

Jia Mingzhen glanced at Su Yu, then looked at Liu Hong on the stage, his eyes narrowing with a smile.

“Gentlemen, this is cheating. Are you going to do anything about it?”

The other elders all had bored expressions and didn’t bother with such trivial matters.

Meeting them sooner or later, anyone with the strength to compete for first place would eventually encounter them.

Those without the strength would be eliminated early.

No one said anything. Jia Mingzhen smiled again, “Little Fatty Xia is taking bets. Do you want to report him again?”

“Old Jia, his bets are only a few hundred points of merit. Are you going to take that too?”

One of the elders couldn’t stand it anymore and said speechlessly, “Such small bets… Can’t you play the long game and wait for him to feel safe, then open a big bet and take it all at once? Once some of these guys start entering the top 100, this little fatty will definitely take bets. One day, when the bets are big, we can take them all in one go!”

Now, it’s just a few hundred points. If they take the little fatty now, he’ll probably be scared off.

“Exactly. I suspect this little fatty is opening these small bets to test the academy’s attitude, still wondering who reported him last time.”

The others laughed and discussed it, finally deciding to let Xia Huyou off the hook.

Soon, they looked at Su Yu and Zheng Hong.

“They’re facing each other?”

“Probably. That Liu Hong must be behind it.”

“Who will win?”

“Hard to say.”

“…”

They said a few words, and the second round of drawing lots ended.

…………

On stage.

Liu Hong wore a smile the whole time. Several researchers around him also noticed something and looked at him one after another.

Liu Hong didn’t care and said loudly, “The second round begins! This round is 92 into 46. The winners of the previous round will receive a reward of 5 points of merit, as in the previous round! Let the competition begin!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone waited for the students in the first match of the second round to take the stage.

In the crowd, Su Yu exhaled lightly.

He stepped out!

He had a feeling that his opponent in this round might be one of those eight people, and that his drawing process wasn’t normal.

Of course, he wasn’t afraid.

He would have to meet them sooner or later!

Su Yu stepped out, and at that moment, Zheng Hong not far away also stepped out.

“Zheng Hong!”

“Su Yu!”

It was actually these two!

Many people were surprised, then didn’t pay much attention. It was obvious that Su Yu was going to lose.

In the previous round against Hu Zongqi, he had fought for a long time. What’s more, now he was facing Zheng Hong, who had easily defeated Lin Yao.

Not many people knew Zheng Hong’s identity, but some did.

People like Wan Mingze and Xia Chan knew.

The disciple of Elder Sun, the grandson of Elder Zheng.

A genius of the single Divine Literature lineage!

Regardless of whether he was Zheng Yuming’s grandson, Elder Sun was a strongman of the single Divine Literature lineage, so Zheng Hong naturally counted as one as well.

…………

In the crowd, Hu Zongqi clenched his fist, feeling complicated.

Just now, he was really hoping that Su Yu could win. Winning would at least prove that he wasn’t weak.

But when he saw that his opponent was Zheng Hong, Hu Zongqi felt depressed. He was definitely going to lose!

Although he thought Su Yu was quite powerful, he was definitely not as good as Zheng Hong.

It was over!
I just hope Su Yu can hold on a little longer, otherwise, if Su Yu is instantly defeated, I’ll lose face too.

On the other side, Lin Yao also looked frustrated.

“Brother Su won’t lose as miserably as I did, right?”

“Zheng Hong is really strong!”

“If I had known Su Yu would encounter him, I should have gone up and told Su Yu some information just now.”

…………

In the center of the hall.

On either side of the sphere.

When Su Yu saw that his opponent was Zheng Hong, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he had guessed as much.

But when he saw it was really Zheng Hong, Su Yu couldn’t help but curse Liu Hong’s whole family!

Encountering a monstrous student in the second round, even if he wins, his willpower consumption will be enormous. What will happen later?

Liu Hong, that bastard, his name is almost followed by a “Zheng” character.

Zheng Hong wasn’t too surprised to see that his opponent was Su Yu. He also felt something was wrong when he drew lots just now, but he didn’t expect Liu Hong to be so impatient that he didn’t know what to say.

“Su Yu, let’s go!”

Zheng Hong didn’t want to say much. He didn’t care who his opponent was. As a genius, he had the confidence to sweep away everything, especially his peers.

The two stopped talking. This time, Su Yu wasn’t hypocritical enough to cheer for Zheng Hong!

At the same time, his willpower infiltrated the secret realm.

On the sphere, gold and cyan each occupied half.

…………

Inside the secret sentence.

Su Yu and Zheng Hong appeared at the same time.

The two looked at each other. The next moment, Su Yu’s illusion appeared, and thunder struck!

The world in Zheng Hong’s eyes was different from Su Yu’s. At this moment, he saw Su Yu still smiling at him in place, and he didn’t see the thunder.

But Zheng Hong was much more sensitive than Hu Zongqi!

His expression changed, his figure moved, and he instantly disappeared from the spot!

Just as he disappeared, thunder struck down!

Zheng Hong didn’t see the thunder, but he could feel the huge destructive power that had just been unleashed where he had been standing. He immediately closed his eyes and stopped looking at Su Yu, who was still smiling on the opposite side!

Suddenly, a large character appeared in front of him!

“Wind!”

A gust of wind swept in, and Su Yu’s illusion was shaking. The wind was like a knife, and the illusion began to shatter.

Although it wasn’t a second-tier divine script, Zheng Hong’s willpower was much stronger than Su Yu’s. In the blink of an eye, his illusion was shattered by wind blades, revealing the location of Su Yu’s willpower body, which was not far from him!

Zheng Hong suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat surprised!

This guy’s illusion is quite strong!

Su Yu controlled thunder to come, his murderous aura was awe-inspiring, cold as an iceberg.

Boom!

The thunder exploded, silent thunder, but it naturally formed a sound in Zheng Hong’s ears.

“Fire!”

At this moment, a monstrous flame rose up, accompanied by a hurricane, burning and cracking the void, covering Su Yu!

The fire encountered thunder and directly covered the thunder.

Su Yu quickly retreated. The next moment, his eyes narrowed!

A giant mountain appeared in front of him!

Wind, Fire, Mountain!

Three divine scripts, all divine scripts of the God Race. Su Yu was secretly shocked!

Is this guy so strong?

As the ancient saying goes, wind, fire, mountain, forest: as swift as the wind, as fierce as fire, as immovable as a mountain, as steady as a forest!

Although this guy hasn’t formed a divine script combat technique, he has signs of a complete system.

Is there a fourth divine script?

The giant mountain pressed down on Su Yu!

At this moment, Su Yu couldn’t care less. The moment the giant mountain pressed down, a black long knife appeared. All the previous thunder and illusion disappeared!

On the long knife, four dim spots of light flickered.

Those were the foundations of divine scripts!

The fifth one was almost invisible. The “Yin” character divine script was too dim.

The long knife grew in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a sky-shattering giant knife, slashing down!

With a bang!

Even though the secret realm was silent, both of them were shaken in their hearts. Su Yu’s figure instantly dissipated a lot, and the giant mountain in front of him was directly shattered by him. The long knife also dimmed a lot.

…………

Outside.

Zheng Hong spat out a mouthful of blood. Su Yu’s face was pale, and he was sweating like rain.

The onlookers were amazed.

At this moment, gold and cyan were constantly tumbling on the sphere, obviously, the two were fighting fiercely inside.

Everything happened extremely quickly!

“Is Zheng Hong falling behind?”

Many people were extremely surprised!

At this moment, gold had gained a slight upper hand in just an instant, encroaching on some of the areas that originally belonged to cyan.

Everyone was extremely surprised!

Su Yu actually suppressed Zheng Hong slightly. Zheng Hong vomited blood, and Su Yu’s face was pale. Obviously, the two had just had a fierce exchange.

Now, many people’s hearts were raised.

Originally, they thought Su Yu would definitely lose, but they didn’t expect such a reversal.

Not only the students, but now, the researchers became interested and looked at the sphere. Then they looked at Zheng Hong. Someone whispered, “The divine script is damaged. Su Yu has a strong destructive power. The two are evenly matched!”

“Don’t worry, Zheng Hong’s willpower accumulation is close to 90%. His destructive power is stronger and he can last longer…”

Before he could finish his words, gold quickly tumbled on the sphere, constantly encroaching on cyan territory, causing the researcher to stop talking, his face full of astonishment.

Another strong clash!

Zheng Hong kept spitting blood, and Su Yu also had blood at the corner of his mouth, his face frighteningly pale.

Obviously, the two had just continued to fight fiercely, causing both sides to suffer serious injuries and consume a lot of energy.

What happened?

…………

Inside the secret sentence.

Su Yu held a black giant knife, severing the heavens and the earth, cutting mountains and extinguishing fire.

The hurricane howled, and the raging fire boiled!

Su Yu’s body seemed to erupt with black flames. It wasn’t flames, but the “Kill” character’s murderous intent was amplified!

The murderous aura filled the sky, constantly impacting Zheng Hong over there.

Zheng Hong’s face was ugly. Su Yu had used a divine script combat technique. The divine script combat technique hadn’t been filled yet, so the lethality wasn’t too strong, but that was only relatively speaking. At this moment, Su Yu’s divine scripts were fused through that combat technique, and several divine scripts worked together to make Su Yu stronger.

“Four divine scripts… two second-tier ones!”

“Damn it!”

Zheng Hong cursed in his heart!

This guy, doesn’t he outline divine scripts, but specializes in nurturing divine scripts… but that’s too fast, two second-tier ones!
The killing intent vibrated his willpower, constantly annihilating it.

Illusions constantly interfered with his judgment.

He recognized two divine runes, one “Blood” and one “Kill,” both human divine runes.

This guy actually nurtured human divine runes to the second level.

Zheng Hong gritted his teeth, and the next moment, the hurricane disappeared, the flames extinguished, and the giant mountain vanished.

Three divine runes appeared before him.

Zheng Hong bit his lip, and the three divine runes instantly merged together, forming a long spear!

Bang!

He directly wielded the spear and attacked Su Yu, thrusting it out. The “Wind” divine rune accelerated, the “Mountain” divine rune added force, and the “Fire” divine rune scorched!

Su Yu felt as if a giant mountain was crashing down on him, moving extremely fast!

Fusion!

This Zheng Hong was also fusing divine runes!

Su Yu roared, even if he couldn’t shout it out, he roared wildly, and the long knife fell, Thunder Element Blade!

Slash!

Boom!

Both of their illusory bodies trembled violently, Su Yu’s body continuously collapsing, and so was Zheng Hong’s.

Outside.

Both of their bodies were also trembling violently. Su Yu’s mouth overflowed with blood, and his brow furrowed.

Zheng Hong’s willpower fluctuated, and blood stained the ground red.

Several researchers had already walked over, and someone shouted, “Stop it, these two kids are fighting inside, and their divine runes are about to collapse!”

At this moment, two colors were constantly swirling.

Neither side had gained the upper hand.

Liu Hong frowned. Over there, Wu Qi said calmly, “Why stop it? As geniuses, they all have their own pride! They can lose, as long as they lose fairly. As for injuries, who hasn’t been injured?”

As a genius, she was qualified to say this.

If they really wanted to stop the fight, the two guys inside would have retreated themselves.

At this moment, Xia Chan and the others also walked over, their expressions solemn.

Zheng Hong was not weak!

Even among the eight of them, Zheng Hong was definitely not the weakest. Yet now, he was fighting Su Yu to a standstill, and even faintly, seemed to be falling behind!

Yes, they vaguely saw a point, gold was stable!

But cyan was a little weak.

Su Yu was like a perpetual motion machine, his willpower endless, constantly pouring into the sphere, while Zheng Hong’s, on the other hand, was somewhat intermittent.

At this moment, the Lingyun realm researcher from the Casting Academy suddenly said, “Does Su Yu know my teacher?”

Liu Hong glanced at him and said with a faint smile, “He minors in casting and is Elder Zhao’s auxiliary disciple!”

This Lingyun, who looked middle-aged, was somewhat surprised to hear this.

A minor… he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

He had been busy recently, and only had time to come and lead the team to take a look today. Hearing this, and seeing Su Yu’s pale face, but still endless willpower, he suddenly said, “Su Yu has won. If Zheng Hong continues to entangle, he will only seriously injure himself. You guys decide for yourselves!”

As soon as this was said, many people looked at him.

The students were all surprised. Su Yu won?

The winner hasn’t been decided yet, right?

And at present, it’s impossible to see who can win!

The middle-aged man remained silent!

But he was surprised in his heart, had he cultivated the God Expansion Technique?

Had the teacher passed on his God Expansion Technique?

He should know that even he hadn’t obtained the true inheritance!

“Would the teacher pass it on so rashly? Could it be that he hasn’t passed it on, but he helped him expand his god…”

“This guy, whose willpower fullness is less than 60%, can outlast Zheng Hong, whose fullness is close to 90%. How much hammering did he have to endure?”

His willpower is at least 1.5 times that of the opponent!

His willpower sea is at least one-third larger than Zheng Hong’s!

If it has been expanded, he must have endured a lot of hammering from the teacher!

The middle-aged man was thinking about things in his heart and didn’t speak again.

Others didn’t rashly stop the competition, but watched silently, with their own thoughts in their hearts, and their emotions fluctuating.

Su Yu… can actually win against Zheng Hong?

At this moment, it had been nearly three minutes since the two had fought.

They were both going all out!

Gold and cyan were boiling, and the sphere was constantly changing color.

Zheng Hong, on the other hand, felt a bit weak. Su Yu felt that he could continue… what a freak!

Some researchers who had heard some rumors looked at the researcher from the Casting Academy. Was it the technique passed down by Zhao Li?

Inside the secret realm.

Zheng Hong and Su Yu’s bodies were already tattered!

Neither of them wanted to admit defeat!

Su Yu’s fighting spirit was getting stronger and stronger, and his killing intent was getting stronger and stronger. The “War” and “Kill” divine runes were all sublimated in battle, and he became more and more excited as he fought.

In the secret realm, killing intent filled the sky!

Fighting spirit boiled!

In contrast, Zheng Hong was a little weak. Zheng Hong glanced at Su Yu, frowning.

Su Yu’s willpower was long and continuous, but the key was that his destructive power was not weak either.

This was completely different from what could be expressed by a fullness of more than 50%. His destructive power was probably close to 70% or even stronger.

Coupled with divine rune combat skills, he was not much weaker than him.

“《God Expansion Technique》?”

Zheng Hong thought of this question!

His grandfather had told him that if he wanted to be stronger and better at protracted battles, it would be best to learn the 《God Expansion Technique》, but Zhao Li didn’t pass it on to outsiders, and he didn’t have the chance to learn it.

Now it seemed that Su Yu had learned it.

“No wonder he can maintain 4 divine runes, and there are two second-level ones…”

Just as he was thinking, his eyes suddenly went a little dark.

Not like the illusion kind!

It was really dark!

You should know that this was a body formed by willpower, so how could there be signs of his eyes going dark?

Illusions can only create such scenes here, such as night, but they can’t cover his eyes.

What is it?

Zheng Hong was shocked!

Willpower erupted again!

The darkness in front of him was quickly broken through by him!

Seeing the light again…

And at this moment, Su Yu had already attacked with his sword. Zheng Hong was about to counterattack… when he suddenly realized something was wrong!

This was the Secret Rune Realm!

The flesh was all fake, where did the shadow come from?

Yes, a shadow!
Shadows unexpectedly appeared beneath Su Yu’s feet at this moment!

He hadn’t even had time to react when Zheng Hong was startled. He held his gun, unsure whether to attack Su Yu himself or his shadow.

In that moment of hesitation, Su Yu’s shadow suddenly entangled his entire body!

The long blade fell instantly!

Bang!

A loud noise echoed in their minds. Zheng Hong’s body shattered completely, with some unwillingness and confusion. Before his willpower retreated, he stared intently at the shadow on the ground!

Damn it!

There’s another divine script!

This bastard Su Yu has mastered 5 divine scripts!

How long has he been in school?

How is that possible!

Didn’t they say he only came into contact with divine scripts a few months ago?

And he had never discovered this divine script before!

“A divine script related to shadows…”

Zheng Hong disappeared completely into the secret realm with some helplessness.

…………

Pfft!

Another mouthful of blood spurted out.

Zheng Hong opened his eyes. At this moment, everyone else was dumbfounded. Gold completely covered the sphere. Zheng Hong retreated, and Su Yu won!

The next moment, Su Yu opened his eyes.

Breathing heavily!

The two exchanged glances, neither saying a word.

Su Yu mastered 5 divine scripts, two of which were Tier 2.

And Zheng Hong also mastered three divine scripts, all very powerful. He probably wanted to condense four divine scripts to form a system, but it seems he hasn’t succeeded yet.

After a few seconds, Su Yu, gasping for breath, cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for the concession!”

Zheng Hong nodded slightly, not saying much.

He felt a little regret and loss, but he didn’t care too much. His strength hasn’t reached its peak yet. Only when he outlines another “Forest” divine script will he challenge the Top 100 List, and he is absolutely confident he can make the list!

Now, he can only say that his divine scripts are still unfinished products. Losing to Su Yu… he can accept it.

If they were to fight with all their strength, his seven-layer Thousand Catties body is stronger than Su Yu’s, and he might not be afraid of Su Yu.

“He is five-layer Thousand Catties…”

“Without taking talent essence blood, I’m not his opponent. Talent essence blood… is completely useless at the Myriad Stone Realm!”

Zheng Hong thought to himself, not saying any harsh words. These words are not suitable for them. They will naturally become stronger if they are meant to be.

Zheng Hong’s injuries were not light, and his willpower was greatly depleted. He didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave.

He lost!

Losing once doesn’t matter. If he can get up and stand up, then there is still a chance.

He’s just afraid of not being able to stand up again!

…………

In the main hall.

The next round of the competition hadn’t started yet. Everyone looked at Su Yu, their faces full of surprise and astonishment.

Su Yu won!

This guy actually won against Zheng Hong!

Su Yu ignored them, smiled and nodded at Hu Zongqi over there, and then looked at Lin Yao not far away. Seeing him excited, he also smiled, but very discreetly, not revealing anything.

Lin Yao and Hu Zongqi were both a little excited!

Su Yu won!

Hu Zongqi felt incredibly good. Su Yu won against Zheng Hong. He looked at the time, four minutes!

Winning against Zheng Hong was even faster than winning against himself!

What does that represent?

Does it mean he is stronger than Zheng Hong?

Of course not. It means Su Yu gave him face, a lot of face. According to Hu Zongqi’s judgment, he is not as good as Lin Yao. If that’s the case, Zheng Hong wins against Lin Yao in 5 seconds, Su Yu wins against Zheng Hong, and he is weaker than Lin Yao…

3 seconds!

Hu Zongqi swallowed. If Su Yu hadn’t given him face, he would have been killed in 3 seconds!

That would be too embarrassing!

At this moment, Hu Zongqi felt incredibly good and suddenly shouted, “Su Yu is truly a monster!”

This is the real monster student!

Hu Zongqi, who had been questioning the fairness of Su Yu’s superior ranking, was the first to say that Su Yu was a monster!

He was slapping himself in the face, but he was happy to do so!

He deserved to be slapped in the face!

It’s better to slap yourself than to be slapped by others!

Over there, Lin Yao was also happy. Brother Su avenged him!

What’s Zheng Hong so arrogant about? He still lost!

…………

They were happy, but Su Yu smiled on the surface while feeling helpless inside.

The consumption was too great!

And all his trump cards were revealed!

Fortunately, it was the first match of the second round, and he could still cultivate and recover. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to participate in the third round.

“Zheng Hong is very strong… at least in terms of willpower, he is stronger than Zheng Yunhui. If he outlines another divine script and forms ‘Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest’, I’m afraid I won’t be his opponent…”

Su Yu was aware of his own limitations. If Zheng Hong outlined another divine script and his divine scripts really formed a system, he would definitely not be his opponent.

But that’s in the future. Zheng Hong is strong, but wouldn’t he be strong too?

If they really fought in reality, his physical body is stronger than Zheng Hong’s, and he wouldn’t fear him even more!

“Winning is enough!”

Su Yu glanced at Liu Hong. Liu Hong smiled and nodded at him, acting as if he had helped him show off his skills… which left Su Yu speechless. Are you trying to deceive me, saying you deliberately gave me a chance to show myself?

Go to hell!

I don’t want this opportunity!

Su Yu cursed inwardly. There are still 7 monstrous students.

If they run into each other, I’ll admit you’re helping me, otherwise… Liu Hong, you’re a bastard, deliberately trying to trick me. Don’t think I can’t see through it!

Su Yu cursed inwardly for a while and began to restore his willpower.

At this moment, everyone else looked at Su Yu with completely different eyes!

Defeating Chen Qi, Su Yu could only say he was lucky, and his talent essence blood was very good. But defeating Zheng Hong in the Divine Script Competition made this guy… truly a monstrous student, on par with those others.
