The black bull had a copper ring through its skin and was tied to a wooden post, lying on the ground with tears in its eyes, looking very pitiful.

"Morning, Su Tu!"

Uncle Gong waved with a cheerful smile as he saw Su Tu coming down.

Su Tu also smiled and said, "Morning, Uncle Gong. Did you buy a bull? Planning to sell beef?"

"This one? It wasn't bought. It ran to my doorstep by itself."

"How about it? If you want, I'll give it to you. Keep it as a pet."

Uncle Gong squinted his eyes into a line, looking very amiable.

Upon hearing this, the black bull lifted its head very spiritually, looking at Su Tu with full expectation, appearing pitiful.

"Come on, Uncle Gong, who keeps a bull as a pet? This big guy, I have no place to raise it."

"Besides, Uncle Gong, I don't eat beef!" Su Tu rarely made a joke.

This amused Uncle Gong, who laughed heartily. After a few more words, Su Tu headed straight for the Martial Arts Department.

The big black bull looked aggrievedly at Su Tu's departing figure. Uncle Gong, holding a bucket of water, splashed it on the black bull and wiped its body with a cloth.

"Bull, you'd better pray Su Tu takes you in as a pet."

"Otherwise, you'll know just how many ways humans can cook beef..."

Uncle Gong had a beaming smile, but his words made the black bull shiver, its eyes constantly glancing in the direction Su Tu had left, looking as if it was about to cry....

...

Martial Arts Department.

Martial Arts Arena.

"She Granny, you're quite overbearing, snatching the last guaranteed spot from me like that?"

"I heard you almost tore down the Martial Arts Headquarters at the time? Truly lawless!!"

The speaker was an old man, sitting in a master's chair, looking displeased. Behind him stood a young man with a sword at his waist, dressed in pure white, with a cold face.

However, the one who answered was not Granny She, but a quirky girl standing beside her.

Red sunglasses, a bun on her head, she is Su Tu's senior sister, Xiao.

She spoke unceremoniously.

"Pah!!! How dare you speak to my granny like that!!"

"Old geezer, would you dare to talk to my granny like this in front of my old man!!"

Granny She was smiling, leaning against the master's chair, looking at Xiao as if she were her granddaughter.

"Hmph!! Zhou Wuliang's disciple is still as rude as ever. I won't stoop to a junior's level..."

The old man snorted coldly, his eyes carrying a trace of apprehension.

"Oh, didn't expect you, Master Liu, to be so magnanimous..."

Xiao seemed slightly surprised, having thought that the old man would be hard to deal with, only to find him so easygoing.

Just then, Granny She's playful voice rang out.

"A few years ago, your third senior brother had a quarrel with Master Liu at an auction, and then a protective old man chased Master Liu with a bead for three days, nearly leading to his demise.

Since then, Master Liu has been especially courteous to people of that Dao Lineage."

Upon hearing this, Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, knowing exactly who the protective old man was that Granny She was referring to.

Upon hearing the two's words, Master Liu's face turned dark, but he didn't spend more words on this matter.

"Enough with the chatter. I've come for the guaranteed spot. Whoever wins, gets it!"

"Wen Zhong, are you confident?" Master Liu looked at the young man beside him.

The young man stepped forward, respectfully cupped his hands to Granny She and Master Liu, then solemnly spoke.

"My ranking is 24 on the Celestial Pride List, while Su Tu's is 58. There's a significant gap between us."

The young man's words were rigidly formal, appearing somewhat stiff.

Master Liu looked proudly at Granny She: "My student, twenty years old, transformed his Martial Bone six times in three months since entering Mingtiao, proficient in the Sword Technique taught by the Sword Sect, exceptionally talented."

"The [Emperor] title's crown may be impressive, but talent takes time to show!"

"Wen Zhong, I expect you to win within fifty rounds!"

Master Liu spoke to the young man.

Wen Zhong was slightly stunned and thought: "We are ranked 34 apart, theoretically, I should only need thirty rounds to win."

Hearing this, Master Liu immediately looked pleased.

Su Tu was Granny She's cherished talent, and hearing this, there was naturally some discontent. Xiao also furrowed her brows, wanting to defend her junior brother.

However, before they could even speak.

A crisp young voice suddenly rang out.

"Thirty rounds is too long."

"As everyone knows, 58 is greater than 24, so within three punches, you'll be defeated."
