In fact, Su Tu was able to annihilate the Moon Giant and trigger the execution partly because of something North Gate Regardless said at the time.
According to Su Tu's understanding of All Ashes, the greater the gap with the enemy, the lower the probability of triggering the execution.
And the gap between the Moon Giant and Su Tu, though not as vast as heaven and earth, was still as far apart as a stream and abyss.
Therefore, to trigger the execution, Su Tu forcibly pulled the Moon Giant's fate line, leading to his heart and spirit not being fully restored even now.
At the moment of activating the Eye of Cause and Effect, he saw the hidden fate line of North Gate Regardless, realizing that while North Gate Regardless was moving True Qi, his surrounding fate lines were very unstable, as if constantly changing.
At that time, Su Tu realized that North Gate Regardless's guessing ability wasn't as simple as it seemed.
His foresight involved a degree of causal interference, such as predicting the question Su Tu wanted to ask and saying it ahead of time, though Su Tu actually had several questions in mind.
That question wasn't Su Tu's top priority, but because North Gate Regardless foresaw it, it became the question Su Tu most wanted to ask.
Realizing this, Su Tu then asked that question, and after receiving a positive response, events inclined slightly towards what North Gate Regardless said.
Thereafter, he struck good fortune, leading to the execution of the Moon Giant.
"As expected, I can't hide from you. Although you don't intend to probe deeply, I should tell you in advance: I can't control this ability, it's not up to me what to say."
North Gate Regardless emphasized the word 'say'.
Su Tu made an OK gesture.
After these words, the two had no further communication, and soon the airship landed at the North Sea.
After a few words of idle chat, Luo Fan and Su Tu planned to first return to the martial hall to report the situation to their master.
Before they left, Mu Wuyang called out to Su Tu.
"Little Tu, the initial ranking can't keep you anymore, you and I ought to have a fight."
The two originally planned to have a good match during the total exam, but due to various circumstances, they hadn't fought.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu nodded, indeed agreeing that after the total exam ends, during this break, he should climb the rankings well and leave a name for himself Above the Other Shore with a heaven-reaching presence.
"I say, this kid is not something you can handle now."
"Smiting the Moon Giant, this kid's strength is absurdly extraordinary, a Martial God in the world; I've never found that title fitting for anyone until now."
"Do we feel like we're drifting apart?"
"Damn! Never thought in this lifetime we'd meet someone whose pace we can't keep up with!!"
Feng placed a hand on Mu Wuyang's shoulder, speaking with a tone of lament.
Mu Wuyang's expression was also quite complex. When first meeting Su Tu, he marveled at Su Tu's incredible potential, and later on Ancestor Star, they could spar techniques.
Even after, when Mu Wuyang broke the realm believing Su Tu was left behind, he called him to catch up.
But now, unexpectedly in such a short time, Mu Wuyang could only see the youth's silhouette.
If he hadn't seen it for himself, he wouldn't have believed there could be such a prodigy in the world.
To exist in the same era as such a being is both his fortune and misfortune.

"We're back!"
"We're back!!"
Luo Fan and Su Tu walked into the martial hall, surprisingly finding it eerily quiet.
"Strange, they should know today marks the end of the total exam..."
Luo Fan said with some confusion.
However, Su Tu seemed to sense something, patting Luo Fan on the shoulder and saying, "Take care."
The next moment, in Luo Fan's puzzled gaze, Su Tu's figure turned into residual shadows as he sprinted towards Old Zhou's inner chamber.
Whish! Whish!! Whish!!
Then, multicolored cakes rapidly flew in from all directions but merely landed on Su Tu's residual shadows.
"Seriously, this kid is getting slipperier, can't catch him at all!"
Li Hu, with a group of classmates, came out carrying a banner celebrating the great success of the martial exam, each holding a bag filled with many cakes.
"Senior, what is this..."
Luo Fan looked at Su Tu's rapidly retreating silhouette and then at the classmates standing in his way.
A bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Hehe, welcome home!!! Great success in the martial exam!!" Brother Hu said with a mischievous smile.
Subsequently, a dense barrage of cakes rained down like arrows, engulfing Luo Fan.
====
In the inner chamber, Su Tu seemed to sense it all, shivering slightly at the sight of Luo Fan engulfed in cakes.
As expected, his classmates were as enthusiastic as ever, this friendly affection is enough for Luo Fan to enjoy alone....
He'd better keep his master company.
"You're back, how did the total exam feel this time?"
Old Zhou looked at Su Tu, eyes filled with a smile, his overall demeanor much improved.
In Su Tu's eyes, streams of martial fortune fell upon Old Zhou, seeming to confer some blessing, making his originally frail body gain a bit of strength.
He knew that this was the martial fortune sharing Brother Hu mentioned before with Su Tu. Su Tu carried heavy martial fortune, and Brother Hu, Old Zhou, and Su Tu were deeply connected.
Thus, when martial fortune erupted, they received its blessing due to their causal link with Su Tu.
"I did not tarnish my master's reputation."
Seeing Old Zhou's condition improve, Su Tu's mood brightened considerably.
