Countless disciples gathered in the outer district, and countless gazes fell upon Academy Master Du.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for Academy Master Du to state his position.
If the Academy Master disagreed, then no matter how unwilling Su Mo and Taishi Jue were to stop, they would have to stop.
But if the Academy Master agreed to let Su Mo and Taishi Jue settle it themselves, then things would become interesting.
Su Mo and Taishi Jue both fixed their gazes on Academy Master Du, awaiting his response.
"Su Mo!"
Beside Su Mo, Gu Tianyi lightly touched his shoulder and shook his head slightly.
In Gu Tianyi's view, Su Mo's actions were quite unwise. Clashing head-on with Taishi Jue would bring no benefit at all.
For whether he won or lost, there would be great trouble.
If he lost, he would perish, body and soul. If he won, the matter would still be difficult to settle peacefully.
Su Mo glanced at Gu Tianyi and gave him a reassuring look. He understood the other man's concerns.
However, he was not acting on impulse. Compared with sparing the other man, killing him would actually be safer.
Saint Master Huoyuan had been watching Su Mo all along. He did not intervene, leaving everything to the Academy Master.
Toward Su Mo, Saint Master Huoyuan felt nothing but helplessness. Perhaps this was Su Mo's trial!
Academy Master Du fell silent for a moment, then sighed and asked, "How do you intend to settle this?"
"A fight to the death!" Su Mo said without hesitation, his voice deep.
Taishi Jue did not answer immediately. He turned to glance at the six disciples at the Martial Venerable realm fourth level who had returned to his side, then said, "The seven of us will fight Su Mo together!"
