Under the gloating gazes of most of those present, Xu Yang said calmly, "Then let's make it a month from now."
In a month, his Formless Thousand Illusions Art should have reached the point where he could freely adjust his aura, keeping the Dragon Elephant Heart Sutra from being exposed.
As for his cultivation, he had already planned to reveal his breakthrough to Second Heavenly Origin in ten days or a fortnight, so that was no concern.
Still, killing intent rose in his heart toward Du Ziming. Had he not begun cultivating the Formless Thousand Illusions Art ahead of time, this move would have exposed all the talent he had hidden for years.
"What's the point of deliberately stalling? You'll lose just the same in a month. Why not get it over with?" Du Ziming snorted.
Xu Yang had set the date a month away, clearly trying to buy time.
"Are you fighting or not? If you are, cut the nonsense!" Jin Yu's cold voice rang out.
The rules of the Cloud Ascension Rankings were meant to motivate these geniuses. He, too, found people like Du Ziming, who looted a burning house, rather loathsome.
Du Ziming's expression shifted slightly. Not daring to say anything more, he cupped his hands. "I am."
Jin Yu snorted. "Then it's settled."
He then turned to Xu Yang. "If your injuries haven't healed by then, you can simply concede."
"I understand, Teacher." Xu Yang cupped his hands.
"Du Ziming's getting a bargain."
"Thirty academic credits! Even after spending ten to have Teacher Jin Yu suppress his cultivation, he'll still have twenty left."
"Why can't I be as shameless as Du Ziming?"
Among the students of Junior Class A, there were plenty who disdained Du Ziming's despicable conduct. A flurry of sarcastic remarks broke out.
