He didn't even have time to exert any force before Su Tu took him down in an instant.

It's not that Su Tu was unsporting or launched a sneak attack, but rather it demonstrated that Su Tu's physical explosive power in that moment surpassed his own, suppressing him before he could gather his strength.

"Monster, you're a complete monster!"

[You suppressed the Martial Champion Scholar in a wrist wrestling match, Body Strengthening Proficiency +50]

[Strengthen Body (High Tier): 4949/5000]

Truly befitting of the eleventh rank on the Celestial Pride List, the skill level gained from a simple wrist wrestling match with him was far greater than from a fight with an average contender.

"Why isn't a guy like you on the Celestial Pride List? Does your Dao Lineage not have the qualification to apply?"

"If that's the case, I suggest you change your allegiance."

"There will likely be many Dao Lineages and academies looking for you soon; you should find a powerful force to join."

"An honorary title symbolizes potential, but manifesting talent requires time. A strong Dao Lineage can make your path much smoother."

"Come to the Coiling Dragon Dojo! The dojo I'm affiliated with is on the Emperor Star, boasting thirteen Celestial Beings, seven Venerables, and three Daoist Masters.

Within the entire Federation, it's considered a top-tier force. With your talent, joining the Coiling Dragon Dojo would ensure treatment equal to mine; would you consider it?"

The Martial Champion Scholar said seriously.

"Never mind, my Dao Lineage is quite good. I have no intention of changing it."

"As for the Celestial Pride List, my mentor has his own considerations."

Su Tu had heard of the Celestial Pride List multiple times. Based on others' words, it seemed more than just a simple ranking; it held other mystical purposes and required qualifications and applications to ascend.

Hu Ge had attempted several times to discuss this with him, but Elder Zhou had always stopped him. Elder Zhou wouldn't harm him; his current actions must be considered.

So Su Tu wasn't in a rush; the elder who always worked tirelessly on his behalf surely had deeper thoughts.

The Martial Champion Scholar wanted to continue persuading him.

However, before he could speak, a crisp girl's voice rang out in the room.

"How interesting, are you trying to poach from my family?"

"Tsk tsk, the Emperor Star Coiling Dragon Dojo is indeed impressive, reaching all the way to the Ancestor Star?"

The voice was neither too salty nor too bland, but the moment it sounded, Su Tu saw the Martial Champion Scholar's expression freeze. This boy, who always seemed fearless and sought to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, had a hint of... fear on his face.

He merely gulped slightly, his Adam's apple moving up and down, and cautiously probed with his voice.

"Pardon me, which Dao Lineage do you belong to now?"

"Tayue Martial Arts Hall."

Su Tu instinctively answered, but his gaze was directed at the source of the voice.

"Tayue... I remember... that's one of the branches named Tayue."

"Your mentor is..." Feng licked his dry lips and continued asking.

However, it was the crisp voice that answered him this time, not Su Tu.

"His mentor is Zhou Wuliang."

A girl with her hair in a bun was leaning against the doorframe, sometime or other, smiling as she looked at Su Tu and Feng.

"I take my leave!! I'm going first!"

The moment he saw the girl, Feng abruptly stood up, cupped his hands, and then directly went downstairs, not using the stairs nor the elevator, but diving out of the window.

Seeing this scene, Su Tu was stunned.

He never expected that the Martial Champion Scholar would have such a pitiful side.

It also indirectly proved the extraordinary nature of that girl.

Su Tu looked at the girl, standing up from his chair, and spoke seriously.

"Senior Sister."

"Hmm? You recognize me?" Xiao walked into the room, curiously looking at her junior brother, who theoretically shouldn't have met her.

Indeed, Su Tu hadn't met Xiao.

But... before attending the Training Camp, Li Hu had informed Su Tu that a senior sister was arriving at the Ancestor Star, combined with the question the girl answered for Su Tu earlier.

The girl's identity was evident, like an open card.

As for why the Martial Champion Scholar seemed somewhat fearful of his senior sister, Su Tu didn't know the specific reason.

But from Li Hu's classic 70-30 descriptions of this senior sister, Su Tu felt that his senior sister... had a bit of weight.

"Senior brother mentioned you earlier."

Su Tu carefully opened his mouth.

"Little Hu, seems like he's maturing lately, already spreading my fame to junior brothers."

"I'm Xiao, your senior sister."

Xiao sat unceremoniously on the bed, casually picking up a fruit from the basket and started eating.

"Hello, Senior Sister Xiao."

Su Tu obediently greeted.

"Hello, little junior brother, impressive! With the 'Emperor' title, the most exceptional talent—it brings both trouble and benefits under this title."

"What it ultimately becomes depends on how you walk this path in the future."

Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her small legs, though she looked harmless like a little girl.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister."

"Senior Sister, on your clothes..." Su Tu then noticed a subtle black stain on Xiao's clothes, as if wetted by water.

But after experiencing the brutal slaughter (massacre) in the Immortal Ruins, Su Tu was highly sensitive to blood. The stain on Xiao's clothes was extremely diluted blood.

"Just killed a few barking dogs on the way, nothing to worry about."

Xiao dismissively waved her hand.

Before Su Tu could inquire further, her expression suddenly changed, and all around seemed to pause.

This wasn't the first time Su Tu experienced this; he knew that his senior sister had something to tell him.

"Xiao Tu, this is our first meeting today, but Little Hu told me all about your experiences."

"I feel you suit my temperament, and bearing the 'Emperor' title means many Dao Lineages and forces will invite you to join. If you want to change allegiances, I won't stop you.

But if you're still willing to join Tayue, some matters, the mentor won't tell you, and Little Hu doesn't dare. I have to let you know."

Hearing this, four words flashed through Su Tu's mind.

Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage!!

Tayue Martial Arts Hall and Elder Zhou were not simple; Su Tu knew there were deep-hidden secrets. Yet, even without these, Su Tu wouldn't change his Dao Lineage.

He could become an academic student and have other teachers, but in his heart, Zhou Wuliang was already his mentor.

Treat me with the honor of a nation, I will respond with the utmost loyalty; Tayue Martial Arts Hall, to him, was already a second home.

"Senior Sister, the mentor never mentioned asking me to join a Dao Lineage."

"Can you make the decision?"

Hearing Su Tu speak, Xiao's eyes lit up, and though unspoken, the meaning was clear to everyone.

"Good boy, Little Hu didn't misjudge you. Let's cook the rice before the old man has a chance to object!"

Su Tu wanted to say that this phrase was inappropriate here, but upon thinking twice, he refrained.

"We'll find a way through the mentor later. For now, let me tell you the true origins of our Dao Lineage."

"And also, how to save the old man's life!"

Xiao seriously spoke.

Su Tu was originally very interested in the phrase about true origins, but upon hearing Xiao's second point, he shuddered violently, his voice low and hoarse.

"Is Elder Zhou's life in danger??"
