Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 224: A Good and Honest Man, Su Yu (2)

Bai Feng did not say anything. He raised his head and smiled at Su Yu.

"Dear student, your Divine Character is going to break through?"

Su Yu trembled with fear and nodded, "I think so? It feels so."

"What month did I visit Nanyuan?"

"April..."

"Oh. It has been less than five months..."

Bai Feng smiled. In less than five months, Su Yu had grown from a clueless kid until this point where his Divine Character might be breaking through into the second tier. Hehe, hehe. Did this brat think that he would believe that lie?

Would he believe that lie? Generally, Divine Characters would only reach the second tier at the Skysoar Realm. Was this kid at the Skysoar Realm yet? How long would most people take to reach the Skysoar Realm?

It could be as short as two years like Wu Qi, or three years like Bai Feng, or half a year like that fellow from Great Zhou. This period of time referred to the time the cultivator had spent in an academy.

However, these geniuses had mostly formed Divine Characters before entering an academy. Thus, a Divine Character would probably take no less than five years to grow into the second tier.

And here, Su Yu was saying that his Divine Character was reaching the second tier in only five months? And it was the same character he had gotten from Bai Feng's willpower text?

"It can absorb blood essence to speed up cultivation, it can allow you to use blood essence abilities, it can even cultivate by itself to break through in five months..."

Bai Feng suddenly had a feeling that the blood character was an omnipotent Divine Character. It could even strengthen one's body and open more acupoints.

The look in his eyes turned dangerous as he said, "Beloved student, when you're able to materialize your Divine Characters, be sure to let your teacher study that character for a few months. Or else...I'll tear you apart!"

Bai Feng was going crazy. What sort of Divine Character was that? Was that an Eternal Divine Character? Damn it! If a character written by him was so powerful, was he an Eternal already?

He was starting to doubt Su Yu, but he had no proof that Su Yu was lying. Divine Characters could stay completely unknown unless the owner materialized it and allowed it to be researched.

He had just finished those words when someone berated, "Bai Feng, what nonsense are you saying? Divine Characters are the foundation of a cultural researcher. Even a teacher can't forcefully observe the Divine Characters of their students unless it was under the request of the students."

Chen Yong walked into the room. After giving Bai Feng a glare, he looked at Su Yu and said, "Ignore your teacher. In the world of cultural researchers, Divine Characters are one of the most important secrets one can have. You don't need to show your Divine Character to anyone if you don't want to, including your teacher."

"Senior Brother..."

"Hello, Martial Uncle!"

Bai Feng glared at Su Yu. He looked helpless, but at the same time, he also looked like he was losing his mind as he said, "Senior Brother, I wasn't serious. This kid...his Divine Character is really very different. And it was a character written by me. He's telling me that the character is reaching the second tier. That's why I was so curious."

"What?" Chen Yong blanked out slightly. He hurriedly asked, "Su Yu, do you know what second tier characters mean? You have not seen one before so are you sure you're not misunderstanding something?"

Su Yu himself was unsure so he scratched his head and said, "I don't know. I only have a vague feeling. The blood character is very strong now. Even its color has changed deeper. It feels completely different from the other characters."

"But that doesn't mean that it's on the verge of advancement."

That was the only reasoning Chen Yong could come up with. Otherwise, raising a character to the second tier in only five months was too scary. Even he was getting the urge to study that character. And there was even more about Su Yu that he didn't know.

On the other hand, Bai Feng, who knew more, was being driven crazy. He felt like his blood pressure had increased since accepting this student.

Chen Yong stopped talking about the Divine Character and scanned Su Yu with his willpower. He sank into silence.

61 acupoints.

Fifth-stage Great Strength Realm.

Bai Feng wasn't lying. His martial nephew had really reached the fifth-stage Great Strength Realm. This was too fast. It felt like a dream.

"He's really at the fifth-stage Great Strength Realm..." Chen Yong took a deep breath. He was both gratified and helpless as he said, "With your talent, if you join a war academy, you could probably reach the Skysoar Realm or even the Cloudbreach Ream in non time."

Su Yu flashed his trademark honest smile and said, "Martial Uncle, it's the same. I can cultivate here as well. With you and Teacher here, I have more motivation to cultivate."

Bai Feng rolled his eyes. What a boot-licker. Why had that kid never acted like that with him? The kid had immediately transformed into a boot-licker the moment Chen Yong was here. When he saw how Su Yu was fawningly pouring tea for Chen Yong, Bai Feng felt like someone was stabbing his heart with needles.

Bastard!

Was Su Yu his student or Chen Yong's student?

He stopped looking at Su Yu and said to Chen Yong, "Senior Brother, do you think his Divine Character is the reason for his fast growth? Or perhaps this kid has an unknown bloodline inheritance?

"Bloodline inheritance?"

Chen Yong sank into thought. After a while, he said, "It's hard to say. Unless it's really obvious, there are many different levels to bloodline inheritances as well. I'm not seeing any bloodline characteristics on Su Yu so it's really hard to judge."

Su Yu asked curiously, "Martial Uncle, Teacher, what are bloodline inheritances?"

This wasn't his first time hearing this term.

Bai Feng snorted and said, "It basically refers to those with mixed bloodline. Back when the Human Realm first connected with the Allheaven Battlefield, the myriad races were not as hostile toward humanity. At the time, we had a much better relationship with them. Some of their experts would frequently visit the Human Realm and inadvertently left some of their bloodlines behind."

Su Yu was hit by a realization. So that referred to mixed blood.

Chen Yong smiled and added, "That's not the only possibility. Some experts might have modified their bloodline for power, and that bloodline might have been inherited by their descendents. For example, some human experts had replaced their own blood with the blood of divines or devils. That bloodline might end up being passed down..."

Bai Feng coldly said, "But only the Myriad Race Cult would do something like that. A lot of people in the Myriad Race Cult want to transform the human race into the divine or the devil race. Those are all traitors."

Chen Yong waved his hand, "You can't generalize all of them. Some people don't change their bloodline for the sake of it. Some only did it for the sake of research. These were the people who had paid a large price to make great contributions to humanity. We can't mix those people up with the cult members."

Su Yu nodded in understanding.

Bai Feng did not continue the topic. He said, "This kid plans to have a match with Zheng Yunhui. Do you think he stands a chance, Senior Brother?"

"Fifth-stage Great Strength Realm...and blood essence abilities. Yes, he has a chance to win." After a short pause, Chen Yong added, "And if his Divine Character is really going to advance, he would have an even higher hope of winning. At that time, Zheng Yunhui might not be Su Yu's match with his current strength."

Chen Yong suddenly thought of something as he muttered blankly, "If Su Yu reaches the seventh-stage, he would definitely be strong enough to enter the Top 100 Ranking."

"..."

Bai Feng and Chen Yong looked at each other. They had nothing to say.

The seventh-stage Great Strength Realm would give Su Yu the strength to guarantee his entry into the Top 100 Ranking.

In other words, Su Yu could already try challenging the ranking with his current strength. Naturally, he was probably going to lose. But at the very least, he was already strong enough to put up some fight, making him one of the strongest students of the academy outside the Top 100 Ranking.

Su Yu had always believed that he was weak. But that was because he had been surrounded by geniuses. If he had compared himself against the intermediate class students instead, which of them could even take a single hit from him?

In truth, even the senior class did not have too many students who could take a hit from him. Su Yu's strength had already reached a level that was near the Top 100 Ranking's level. Nobody had expected that.

Previously, Bai Feng had predicted that Su Yu could reach this point in a year. Then, he changed his prediction to half a year. Then, he shortened his prediction to the end of this year.

It was only September, but Su Yu was already not far away from the Top 100 Ranking. It was as though Su Yu was the favored child of the heavens.

After recovering from the reverie, Bai Feng coughed and said, "Senior Brother, we're still a few months away from the end of the year. Maybe we can get this kid to challenge the Top 100 Ranking and try to open a path for Jia?"

Chen Yong frowned and said, "Those kids are not weak. They might be new to the ranking and are only placed around the 70th place, but their real strength might be higher."

Even if Su Yu already had the strength to challenge the ranking, he was only strong enough to challenge those at the bottom. But there were 100 opponents in the ranking. Not everyone in the ranking was the same.

"We'll see."

Bai Feng wasn't too worried about that. He softly said, "I have one more matter. Senior Brother, do you think this would work?"

He then told Chen Yong about Su Yu's plan to scam Liu Hong. Once again, Chen Yong looked at Su Yu in astonishment. This martial nephew of his looked refined and gentle, but the kid was actually bold enough to scheme against Liu Hong.
