Meanwhile, Su Yu had gone quite far away from the lake.

Suddenly, he asked, "Senior brother Wen, did you sense anything?"

"What?"

"I felt like something was looking atfrom within the lake. Are there other beasts in the lake?"

"I guess so." Wen Zhong said, "That's not surprising. We have a lot of demonic beasts in our academy. Unlike Great Xia where they are formally accepting these beasts as students, we do things differently. A lot of the beasts staying here were the random young beasts that the people in the academy stumbled upon during their travels. They picked these young beasts up and randomly released them in the academy. Eventually, these beasts grew up and started producing more beasts..."

Su Yu was speechless. Released in the academy? Were they not afraid that these beasts might harm the students?

Wen Zhong said, "It's fine. We have experts and formations in the academy. The strongest weapon of the academy is the Hundred Dao Pagoda. It is not a simple building. It is a heaven-grade cultural weapon. How many heaven-grade cultural weapons can you even find in the entire Human Realm? It is equipped with self-defense mechanisms and has the strength to kill even Sunmoons."

Su Yu asked in astonishment, "So it works autonomously?"

"Yes."

That was impressive.

Su Yu said, "Senior Brother, I have been curious about one thing. When I was reading the academy rules, I noticed one thing. Above the elders, there is a Clearheart Hall. What is that?"

"Oh, that's a retirement hfor our elderly Sunmoons." Wen Zhong smiled and said, "If you split the clear character, you will get the sun and moon characters. You know that the casualty rate of our cultural researchers is very low, right? Thus, we have a few ancient Sunmoons that rarely show themselves. Most of the time, they spend their tin retirement. They can't be bothered to serve as elders and vice principals, so the principal built them a retirement home."

"Sunmoons?" Su Yu was surprised. "Do we have other Sunmoons apart from the prefect?"

"Yeah." Wen Zhong smiled and said, "Definitely. They are simply inactive. Since the cultural researchers here are generally long-lived, it is understandable that our Sunmoons have survived as well. After all, even a Cloudbreach likehas stayed alive for over 400 years. I think we have four or five Sunmoons there. I'm not too sure. They are all very old so maybe sof them are already dead. Sure, Sunmoons are very long-lived, but sof them are still suffering from the injuries they had sustained during the early Anping Calendar."

Su Yu frowned and said, "But Great Xia—"

"Don't talk about Great Xia." Wen Zhong shook his head, "Great Xia is very strong. But think about it. How many experts had perished fifty years ago alongside the fifth principal? Even after that, Great Xia is still filled with experts.

"Wan Tiansheng is probably a Sunmoon. Apart from him, there are also people like Jin Yuhui, Zhou Mingren, Hong Tan, and that Principal Liu from the Daoseeking Cultural Research Academy. These people are either Sunmoons or pseudo-Sunmoons. And all of them are very young.

"If it wasn't for the incident fifty years ago, even those from Liu Wenyan's generation like Hu Ping, Zhao Mingyue, Xia Yunji, and Liu Wenyan himself might have reached the Sunmoon Realm by now. Isn't Great Xia powerful?

"Don't forget that Great Xia had lost several Sunmoons to the numerous wars they fought in recent years. Otherwise, they would probably have more than ten Sunmoons in their ranks. Xia Xiao'er can also be considered a member of the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. Everyone has merely been neglecting him."

Wen Zhong said, "Thus, Great Xia might be strong, but they are also losing their people at a rapid rate. Well, that's understandable since Great Xia is the birthplace of the multiple character faction.

"Don't worry. There are still a lot of human Sunmoons around. There are also swho are still stuck at the peak Mountainsea Realm, but this is not an issue. We might have lost Liu Wenyan's generation, but that's only a loss of fifty years, one-seventh of the total years since the start of the Anping Calendar."

"In that case, are there even more Sunmoons among the divines and devils?"

Wen Zhong smiled and said, "There is a decent amount of them, but I won't say there are a lot of them. That's mostly due to their long lifespan compared to us humans. But due to their long lifespan, their speed of cultivation is also much slower. In terms of cultivators of the sage, humanity is far stronger than them. They have merely been suppressing us with their ancient experts."

Su Yu nodded and stopped asking. That was still not something he should worry about. Instead, he should prioritize gathering all 360 acupoints and produce scultivation methods to generate more ffor himself.

***

During the next few days, Su Yu spent his topening acupoints and writing out the cultivation methods he knew. Additionally, he was also consuming blood essence to write out the newly discovered cultivation methods.

Despite knowing a lot of cultivation methods, he had never bothered organizing all of them in the past. Now that he had sfree time, he was finally able to write out all these cultivation methods. The only thing lacking was a detailed introduction and explanation of each cultivation method.

Of the cultivation methods he knew, a few of them were heaven-grade methods. There was the Celestial Dragon Art with 144 acupoints. There were also the Thousand Mountain Art and Sky Sundering Saber, each with 144 acupoints as well.

The Body Strengthening Art was only a low-tier heaven-grade cultivation method, but it was excellent for acupoint opening. The Ttechnique was a martial technique, but it wasn't something he could disseminate. He even had several soul techniques in his possession.

Looking at the pile of cultivation methods in front of him, Su Yu was slightly shocked. Before compiling everything, he didn't even notice that he had actually obtained more than ten heaven-grade cultivation methods and martial techniques.

As for the earth-grade cultivation methods he had, there were too many to count. He had obtained more than five hundred cultivation methods and techniques of the myriad races. He also knew a lot of human cultivation methods. All in all, he had gathered more than a thousand cultivation methods and techniques. And many of these cultivation methods were useful enough that numerous people would view them as invaluable.

"A few of them are actually quite suited for dissemination. For example, the Body Strengthening Art."

With 126 acupoints, the Body Strengthening Art was a middle-tier heaven-grade cultivation method. It was actually an amazing cultivation method.

It would allow one to fuse a maximum of 14 acupoints per stage. And it could also increase the speed in which one could open more acupoints. This was a very suitable cultivation method for the more ordinary geniuses who weren't good enough to be considered freaks.

One ought to know even among these freaks, a lot of them were forced to only cultivate something with 108 acupoints. That was understandable as most cultural researchers were unwilling to waste too much topening acupoints.

But with the Body Strengthening Art, they only needed to open 18 additional acupoints. With the increased acupoint opening speed provided by the Body Strengthening Art, their cultivation speed would probably remain the sas when they were cultivating the War God Art with 108 acupoints.

Additionally, they would also obtain a stronger body and combat strength with more acupoints. Su Yu was certain that the moment this cultivation method was released, all the genius students would choose it over the War God Art.

Only a fool would not do so. After all, if both cultivation methods required the samount of tto cultivate, why would one choose the weaker one?

"But the War God Art comes with a complementary martial technique. Thus, it will be better if I can cup with a complementary martial technique for the Body Strengthening Art as well. But it isn't too difficult. The Mountainbreak Technique of the mountainbreak bull is basically the complementary martial technique. But it's too easily recognizable. I need to give it a new look."

The so-called Mountainbreak Technique was basically the racial ability of the mountainbreak bull.

It did not require too many acupoints, and all of its acupoints overlapped with the Body Strengthening Art's acupoints. Generally, a complementary martial technique would require fewer acupoints than the main cultivation method. Only when one reached the highest level of mastery would one be able to activate more acupoints while using the stechnique.

"This is very suitable for geniuses..."

But it wasn't suitable for the ordinary cultivators.

"What if I can find a cultivation method with a lot of overlaps with the Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art? That way, they can use the sacupoints for acupoint fusion and cultivation advancement."

Su Yu started going through the cultivation methods he knew. For an ordinary cultivator, opening 36 acupoints wouldn't be an issue. If he could find something like that, they only needed to open their acupoints once before focusing on rapidly fusing their acupoints. That would save a lot of tfor them. The masses would definitely be pleased with this.

"Even if I can't find something with 36 overlaps, anything with more than 30 overlaps will do. If I really can't find anything, I can find something similar to what I want and modify it."

His mind was set. He was prepared to start disseminating the final version of his Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art as well. If he was able to provide a complementary cultivation method alongside this fusion art as well, he was sure that he would shock countless people. After all, this would allow one to essentially skip an entire realm of cultivation.

Thanks to his fusion art, even a regular cultivator would be able to reach the first-stage Infinite Strength Realm after opening 36 acupoints. In about a month, one would be able to reach the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

"But at that point, they probably won't be satisfied with a mere 36-acupoint cultivation method. Whatever. I'll just provide several complementary cultivation methods. Maybe I can get them a 72-acupoint complementary cultivation method as well..."

Before long, Su Yu found a cultivation method with a large number of acupoint overlaps.

"Yellow Silk Art..."

The yellow silkwyrm race was basically a subsidiary race of the dragon silkwyrm race. Their cultivation method wasn't too impressive with only 36 acupoints, but they were quite suitable to serve as his fusion art's complementary cultivation method due to the high number of overlaps.

There were a total of 27 overlaps. In short, one only needed to open 9 additional acupoints. Su Yu hurriedly circulated his source qi in accordance with the pathway of the Yellow Silk Art. Then, he threw a punch in the air. It was decently strong.

But for Su Yu, it was definitely not strong enough. After thinking about it, he decided to compare it against the Great Strength Art. If it was even weaker than the Great Strength Art, then there would be no point in using it.

After throwing a punch with the Great Strength Art active, Su Yu muttered, "This won't work. It's slightly weaker. Furthermore, the Great Strength Art is more compatible with the human race...

"But I can modify it. It's only a yellow-grade cultivation method. Great Ming is filled with people capable of such a feat. Perhaps I can even find someone to create a brand new cultivation method based on the Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art."

At that thought, Su Yu rushed out of the room.

Outside his room, he stumbled upon Wu Lan. She was yawning while walking out of the library with messy hair and heavy eyebags. When she saw Su Yu, she hurriedly said, "Su Yu, I already organized all the data we have from both Great Xia and Great Ming. All the known acupoints have been cataloged. I also found something else. Take a look at this..."

Su Yu asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Cut the bullshit. Get over here."

She then dragged Su Yu into the nearby puppet room.

Wen Zhong was also nearby. When he saw what was happening, an ambiguous smile formed on his face. But when Wu Lan noticed him, she said, "Teacher, join us."

"Me?"

"Yeah. Hurry up."

Fine.

A short while later, Wu Lan looked at the puppets in the room with a dissatisfied expression as she said, "This is not enough. They're not accurate enough."

She placed one of the puppets on the workbench.

Then, she took out a knife and started cutting the puppet apart. While doing so, she said, "Helpwith this. Cut it and spread it wide."

Su Yu was quite speechless, but he still stepped forth to help. This puppet greatly resembled a real human. But instead of internal organs, it was stuffed full with tiny machines under its skin.

Wu Lan pulled the machines out and threw them away before drawing a few dots on the puppet. "These are the nine acupoints of the Source Opening Realm. Eight of them are on the head and one of them is on the navel."

Su Yu nodded. Wu Lan continued, "But take note. All the acupoints on the head cin pairs. There is a perfect balance."

The other two nodded.

"The One Hundred Openings and Spirit Palace acupoints are at the center of all the other head acupoints. Does this not look like a symmetrical diagram?"

Su Yu nodded.

Wen Zhong smiled and said, "Little Wu Lan, are you saying that all acupoints in the human body should cin pairs? Thus, if there are 360 acupoints in total, we only need to discover 180 of them to find the other half?"

"No!" Wu Lan rolled her eyes. "That's too simple. Why would I bother telling you if it's so simple? I'm trying to say that the One Hundred Openings, Spirit Palace, and mouth acupoints are not symmetrical. These are probably unique acupoints that do not conform to the rule all the other acupoints abide by. In that case, there might be three other similar acupoints somewhere else. Su Yu, showall the acupoints you know. Letsee if there are other asymmetrical acupoints as well."

Su Yu did not hesitate and pointed out all the acupoints he knew. Then, the look in his eyes changed.

The One Hundred Openings, Spirit Palace, and mouth acupoints were lined up in one straight line. As for the remaining acupoints, they were perfectly aligned on both sides of the three acupoints.

Wu Lan shouted in excitement, "Do you see it? Su Yu, all 360 acupoints might already be right in front of you. You only need to look for the remaining 3. I suspect that the remaining 3 are located along the line in the middle. Don't bother asking anyone else. It will probably be a waste of time."

Drawing a line connecting the three central acupoints, she said, "The remaining acupoints must be on this line as well or it won't be symmetrical. Or at least one of them must be here while the other two are somewhere else. But you only need to find one of them to find the other if they still follow the srule."

Wen Zhong's eyes flickered as he said with a nod, "The girl is right. In truth, both Great Ming and Great Xia combined have probably discovered almost all acupoints in existence. There won't be too many acupoints left undiscovered. So can you find the remaining acupoints, Su Yu?"

Su Yu shook his head, "No."

He knew a lot of cultivation methods, but the missing three were not included in any of the cultivation methods he knew.

At this time, Wu Lan said in excitement, "I suspect one of them is here!"

She pointed at a certain spot on the puppet, rendering both Su Yu and Wen Zhong speechless. She was pointing at the anus. Well, based on her theory, it was possible that there was an acupoint there.

Wu Lan urged in excitement, "Su Yu, give it a try! If you're scared, find...forget it. Zhou Hao isn't here. Con, try it! I'm sure there's an acupoint here!"

She continued gleefully, "If there is really an acupoint here, then I'm the one who has discovered it. I want to nit..."

Su Yu asked, "The anus acupoint? Or the Wu Lan acupoint? That way, everyone will think of you the moment they open their anus acupoint. What do you think?"

"..."

Wu Lan froze. Right. This was...quite an awkward position.

Wen Zhong resisted the urge to laugh. He changed the topic and said, "There might really be an acupoint here. You can get someone to try opening an acupoint there. Even if there's a mistake and that person ends up blowing-cough-it, they can recover after a short rest."

Su Yu ground his teeth. There was no way in hell he was going to try it. If he ended up blowing his own anus up, it would be too embarrassing. Wu Lan sure was incredible She was actually able to discover a potential acupoint at such a spot.

That line she drew wasn't too long. It ended somewhere on the crotch. What if the other two acupoints were at...Su Yu decided to cease that line of thought.

But Su Yu had to admit that Wu Lan had added a lot of sense to the nature of these acupoints. Su Yu had never analyzed his acupoints this way before or he would have probably discovered the sas well. However, it was pointless to say something like that. There was no denying that this was Wu Lan's contribution after cutting a puppet open.

Su Yu generously said, "Wu Lan, since this is your discovery, this acupoint is yours. You will have the right to nit."

Su Yu wondered how it would feel to release source qi from this acupoint after opening it. Would it feel the sas farting? That would be awkward.
