"You stop right now!" Bei Bei saw that Shi Yu was completely unresponsive and could only release his Martial Soul to forcefully rush onto the competition stage.
Yan Shaozhe instinctively moved to stop him, but considering Xu Sanshi's condition, he quickly controlled himself and allowed Bei Bei to act.
He was still being cautious; if Bei Bei's attacks were too heavy, he would intervene.
"Rumble!" After releasing his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, Bei Bei transformed into a controller of lightning. He swung his dragon-transformed right arm towards Shi Yu, and lightning raged.
Shi Yu was alert. He quickly lifted Xu Sanshi and used him as a human shield.
Shi Yu could have dodged, but he didn't want to. Since Bei Bei wanted to attack, then let him attack Xu Sanshi.
Bei Bei's pupils contracted. He wanted to quickly retract his hand, but the released lightning was not that easy to control.
Some of the lightning went astray, but more of it struck Xu Sanshi's body.
"Ah!" Xu Sanshi screamed in pain. He was already miserable from the beating, and now he was being struck by lightning. This was adding insult to injury for him.
Xu Sanshi blocked most of the lightning for Shi Yu. A small amount of lightning still affected Shi Yu, leaving him feeling numb all over, which was quite uncomfortable.
"A strong-attack type Soul Grandmaster is indeed different from a defense-type Soul Grandmaster like Xu Sanshi," Shi Yu staggered back a few steps before stabilizing himself, his heart feeling solemn.
Bei Bei's attack was much more threatening than Xu Sanshi's. It wasn't that his strength far surpassed Xu Sanshi's.
Rather, the nature of his Martial Soul determined that he was more aggressive than Xu Sanshi.
Martial Souls of the same Soul Power level but different types often exhibited different levels of strength.
For the same Soul Master, there were also situations where one type of Soul Master was easy to deal with, while another type was difficult to handle.
"Sanshi, I didn't mean to!" Bei Bei saw that he had accidentally injured Xu Sanshi and quickly apologized, his eyes blazing with anger at Shi Yu.
"Are you really trying to kill Xu Sanshi?" Bei Bei asked angrily. The other party was simply too much.
"What do you mean by asking that? Wasn't that attack just now released by you? Why do you say I'm trying to kill Xu Sanshi?"
"If Xu Sanshi really died, it would be because of your attack just now."
"As for the fight between me and him, it was agreed upon. Even if I beat him to death, it wouldn't be my fault," Shi Yu said coldly.
"Quickly let him go!" Bei Bei knew he couldn't argue with Shi Yu, so he didn't bother with unnecessary words and sternly shouted.
"Dean Yan, as one of the witnesses to the agreed-upon fight between me and Xu Sanshi, are you not going to say something when you encounter this kind of interference with the fight?" Shi Yu ignored Bei Bei and only looked at Yan Shaozhe.
He had some reservations about Yan Shaozhe's inaction; he hadn't been truly fair.
Of course, true fairness might not exist in this world; he was just hoping for it.
Yan Shaozhe didn't speak immediately, but instead looked at Xu Sanshi's miserable state.
The eruption of his Mystic Tortoise Power had left him extremely weak, and the toxins in his body were constantly harming him. At this point, it had reached a very serious stage, potentially life-threatening.
Coupled with Shi Yu's punches and kicks, if the beating continued, Xu Sanshi would surely die.
"It's best if your fight doesn't result in death."
"I understand your desire to teach Xu Sanshi a lesson and vent your anger, but I also hope you maintain restraint."
"If you kill Xu Sanshi, even if the Academy doesn't pursue your fault, the Sect behind Xu Sanshi won't let you off."
"You probably don't want to become the target of a major Sect's pursuit, as that would leave you with no peace in the future."
"So you've vented your anger, but what about the future?" Yan Shaozhe tried to persuade Shi Yu.
He didn't put on airs. The talent Shi Yu displayed was worth a Dean lowering his stance to treat him.
He even had the intention of taking Shi Yu as a disciple. Such talent was rarely seen throughout history, which moved him greatly.
Shi Yu's brows were furrowed and difficult to relax. He knew that Yan Shaozhe wanted to persuade him to let Xu Sanshi go.
Honestly, he was reluctant, but what the other party said was indeed reasonable.
Xu Sanshi's background was not simple. If Shi Yu killed him, the Xuan Ming Sect and the Douling Empire would both become hostile towards Shi Yu.
This was actually not a good thing. It would be difficult to have peaceful days in the future.
"If I had absolute strength, I wouldn't need to consider so much," Shi Yu became even more aware of the importance of strength.
He currently didn't have the strength to act without any reservations, solely based on his inner thoughts.
As the saying goes, when under someone else's roof, one must bow one's head. Making a concession now seemed to be the most rational choice.
"Let him go. The Academy will help you resolve the pressure from the Xuan Ming Sect."
"If Xu Sanshi thinks of retaliating against you because of today's events in the future, the Academy will definitely support you," Yan Shaozhe stated his position, not wanting Shi Yu to have any worries.
Shi Yu ultimately didn't let anger cloud his judgment and rationally made a concession. He had beaten him enough today, so it would end here.
"Thump!" Shi Yu threw Xu Sanshi onto the ground.
"Don't provoke me again in the future, or I'll beat you into a turtle bastard!" Shi Yu gave Xu Sanshi another kick and warned him coldly.
After speaking, he intended to leave. There was no need to continue staying.
Lying on the ground, Xu Sanshi was spitting blood from the beating. He was in great pain, but a cold and sarcastic smile was on his face.
"You ultimately didn't dare to kill me, and you couldn't make me say the words 'turtle bastard'. I didn't lose, haha!" Xu Sanshi laughed tragically, trying to find an excuse for himself.
Bei Bei came over to check on Xu Sanshi's injuries.
Many students had somewhat anticipated this ending, yet they had also hoped for something else. They were watching the excitement and still hoped that Xu Sanshi would really say those words, 'I am a turtle bastard'.
Or perhaps that Shi Yu would not fear power, and if Xu Sanshi didn't say it, he would keep hitting him until he beat him to death.
Although this was cruel, they still had a little expectation.
Of course, this was only a minority. More people still didn't want a death to occur.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Nannan came over to express concern for Shi Yu. She had no sympathy for Xu Sanshi being beaten, only feeling relieved.
"I'm fine," Shi Yu showed a relaxed smile, indicating to Jiang Nannan that she didn't need to worry about him.
"Let's go outside and talk," Jiang Nannan walked beside Shi Yu, the two of them very close.
Xu Sanshi was helped up by Bei Bei. Seeing the cruel Shi Yu and the Jiang Nannan he loved so intimately, he, who was already exploding with anger, lost his reason even more.
"Shi Yu, even if Jiang Nannan doesn't like me and isn't with me, she will absolutely not be with you!"
"Because she is already mine!" Xu Sanshi roared almost hysterically.
Many people widened their eyes. They hadn't heard this gossip before.
Shi Yu's steps paused. He didn't look at Xu Sanshi, but instead looked at Jiang Nannan beside him.
The latter trembled as if recalling a nightmare, forcing back tears and turning back to retort to Xu Sanshi: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"You and I both know whether I'm talking nonsense or not. Since things have come to this, I'm not afraid of you being angry with me."
"Let me tell everyone, Jiang Nannan is my woman. I've seen every part of her body, touched her, and even been inside..."
The pain throughout his body, the invasion of toxins, hatred, and the flames of anger stimulated Xu Sanshi to speak without any restraint.
"Shut up!" Jiang Nannan shrieked hysterically.
