Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 345: Grandteacher Is On His Way (2)

Bai Feng was starting to wonder if someone had replaced his student. His student wasn't supposed to be so stupid. In that case, why was the kid asking him all these stupid questions?

Su Yu could only helplessly say, "But I have a feeling that my willpower is very strong. I feel like I'm already at the peak of the first tier. I also have second-tier characters. The only thing I lack now is an opened aperture. So would I be considered a Skysoar after opening my first aperture?"

"Open my ass." Bai Feng rolled his eyes, "If you can really push your willpower to the second tier, then your willpower would already be strong enough for willpower materialization..."

Su Yu blanked out slightly before asking, "Teacher, would that really make me a Skysoar? But I have yet to finish forming my Divine Characters! What should I do if my willpower accidentally reaches the second tier before I finish forming my characters?"

Bai Feng was also stunned when he heard that question. True. This kid's willpower was actually quite powerful.

But he soon shook his head and said, "Impossible. You have yet to fill your sea of willpower so your willpower won't overflow and achieve willpower materialization accidentally. At most, you will only have a willpower as powerful as second-tier willpower. However, your willpower will still be stuck below the second tier. Only when your willpower overflows will you be considered a true Skysoar cultivator that has achieved willpower materialization."

Su Yu exhaled in relief. That was good to hear. Bai Feng was somewhat speechless. Why did it sound like this kid was actually worried of accidentally reaching the Skysoar Realm? Was the kid thinking straight? With that tiny bit of willpower...

Suddenly, Bai Feng blanked out. He asked, "What's wrong with you? Why...has your willpower percentage increased suddenly?"

Su Yu flashed his trademark honest smile and said, "I cultivated a bit in the fragment room earlier and made some progress there."

He then assumed an enigmatic tone and said, "Teacher, I have been talking to the water elemental in the prison zone recently. The cultivation method of the five elemental race is actually capable of opening apertures at the Mental Tempering Stage. What if you can learn that cultivation method? Wouldn't that be amazing?"

...

All these questions were starting to drive Bai Feng crazy. He said, "Learn my ass. Everyone knows about the five elemental race's cultivation method. I know that as well. I even have a copy of the Water Path Art. The academy has some willpower texts of the Water Path Art and the other elemental arts as well. Why don't you try and learn these arts? If you really manage to cultivate them, you can be my teacher instead. How about that?"

What a load of nonsense. Piss off! This kid had been getting overconfident. He spent all his time dreaming instead of cultivating.

But suddenly, Bai Feng thought of something and blanked out. He asked, "Did you learn the racial ability of the five elemental race and open some acupoints from it? Is this why you believe that you can derive their cultivation method from their racial ability?"

It was necessary for Su Yu to slowly build a logical origin for his cultivation manual. Thus, he nodded, "I consumed some five elemental blood essence before. Their racial abilities are very unique, such as turning into water, metal, and so on. It is very difficult for humans to use these abilities. Relying on the flesh alone, we will never be able to use these abilities. But our willpower can actually be turned into the different elements in accordance with these racial abilities."

Su Yu continued speaking in an enigmatic tone as he whispered, "Thus, I wondered if I can derive the five elemental cultivation method through these racial abilities? Do you think it's possible, teacher?"

"Stop whispering."

Bai Feng was speechless. What was the kid doing? He was acting like a thief!

Bai Feng thought about it and shook his head, "It's different. But sure, if you're interested, give it a try. Even if you really manage to come out with their cultivation method, you might not be able to actually open an aperture with it. I'm warning you. Don't mess around about this. Cultural arts involve the sea of willpower. The sea of willpower is much harder to recover than the physical body once injured.

"Just look at your senior sister. She has been suffering from a willpower injury for several months. You don't want to waste several months of your time recovering from an injury, right?"

Su Yu nodded obediently and said, "Teacher, if I really manage to derive the cultivation method, can I teach it to Senior Sister?"

"No!" Bai Feng answered unhesitatingly, "Teach my ass. If you really manage to come up with something like this, you need to keep it secret. That might not be a bad thing. In fact, spreading this cultivation method might not necessarily be a good thing for you. You need to know that the myriad races have even more Mental Tempering Stage cultivators than humanity. What if the myriad races learn of it? Hehe...Your life would be over."

"How about the Soul Devouring Art?"

That was also a powerful cultivation method.

Bai Feng shook his head, "It's different. Your Soul Devouring Art is a martial cultivation method. It relies on the acupoints of the human body..."

"But that's the case for a cultural art, right? It will rely on the apertures of the human body..."

Bai Feng scratched his head and said, "Yeah, but it is still different since it involves the sea of willpower. Just remember that you can't spread it rashly if you manage to come out with it."

But suddenly, Bai Feng blanked out. The kid had yet to even come out with the cultivation method. Why was he answering all these questions? It was as though he was sure his student would be able to come out with that cultivation method. Was he the teacher here or was his student the teacher here? What the hell?

Bai Feng shook his head and rearranged his thoughts, "Cut the crap. If you can really come out with it, don't spread it rashly. Of course, if you're sure that you can withstand all the troubles and pressure that might arise after spreading the cultivation method, you are free to do whatever you want with it."

Su Yu had an awkward look. Forget it. He was definitely incapable of withstanding the consequences of spreading such a cultivation method around.

He had a look of regret as he said, "That would be a pity. I believe that the human race definitely has some powerful cultivation manuals that have been hidden away from the public for various reasons."

"It's not that bad." Bai Feng smiled, "When you reach a level where you finally start needing those manuals, someone will naturally appear to teach you. It depends on your performance. For example, our multiple character faction has a rather powerful cultivation manual as well. But it is still not time to teach it to you."

"What cultivation manual?"

Su Yu was curious.

"Soul Gathering Art. This is a manual specializing in nurturing Divine Characters. Without this manual, how are we supposed to grow our characters when we need to form so many of them? But forget about learning it for now. Focus on forming all your required Divine Characters first. If you learn it now, you will probably push all your existing characters into the second tier instead of focusing on forming more characters. Do you still want to complete your character technique or not?"

Su Yu was actually getting excited. So there existed a cultivation manual capable of nurturing Divine Characters?

"Teacher, Wan Mingze has three second-tier characters. He has more second-tier characters than me."

"Three?"

Bai Feng blanked out slightly. He said, "Three second-tier characters...Wan Mingze...someone from the principal's family?"

"I think he's the grandson of the principal's elder brother."

Bai Feng frowned, "There are examples of people forming a second-tier character at the Mental Tempering Stage. There are also examples of people forming two, such as you. As for three second-tier characters...You need to relax and stay far away from him."

"Why?"

"He might be one of those treacherous snakes. Since he is capable of nurturing three second-tier characters, his willpower is clearly strong enough to reach the Skysoar Realm. To suppress himself, he has used his willpower to nurture his characters instead.

"Someone like this is either aiming to be the strongest in the same level or is simply scheming against someone. It's pretty pointless to do so much to become the strongest in the Mental Tempering Stage. Sure, there is always a possibility that this kid has some grand ambitions. But it is more likely that he's scheming against someone with his suppressed cultivation."

"So who is he scheming against?"

"You," Bai Feng said confidently. "You're not at the Skysoar Realm yet so none of those in the Skysoar Realm can touch you. But he can since he's also still below the Skysoar Realm. Be careful. People like him are mostly nurtured for the specific purpose of targeting those below the Skysoar Realm. He might be a hidden arrow prepared by the principal, waiting to be unleashed against someone."

"Even so, I might not be the target, right?"

"Who knows?" Once again, Bai Feng spoke in an irresponsible manner, "If not you, is it those kids from the war academy or those bastards from the myriad races? In any case, that Wan something kid is definitely scheming against someone. He would have reached the Skysoar Realm already otherwise."

Su Yu found himself speechless. So there was such a thing? Wan Mingze was actually good enough to enter the next realm, but he had not advanced because he had spent all his willpower nurturing his characters into the second tier?

Bai Feng said, "There are too many weird individuals in your batch. What an abnormal batch. That Jia something guy is also very weird. Also, that Zheng kid is not a pushover either. He might be hiding something as well. Then there's also the Xia Family..."

Bai Feng suspiciously said, "I had thought that Xia Chan was Zhou Mingren's weapon against you, but she doesn't look like one anymore. I saw her once. Her strength is decent, but it's nothing special. The Xia Family actually doesn't have a super freak in this batch..."

Bai Feng then shook his head and decided to forget about the Xia Family. Who knew what they were planning? But Su Yu couldn't help but to think of Xia Huyou. For some reason, Xia Huyou felt even stronger than Xia Chan. That was the feeling he had.

"Teacher, have you heard of Xia Huyou?"

"Nope."

"Is there such a person in the Xia Family?"

"How am I supposed to know that? It's not like I know the Xia Family that well. I only know Xia Longwu, Xia Changqing, Xia Xinyi, and Xia Yuwen..."

Well. That was a waste of time.

"Does the prefect have any children?"

"I think he has a son." Bai Feng said with an uncertain tone, "He's a big shot. Your grandteacher might know more about him. I never cared about that. The Xia Family is quite good at hiding those from their main branch to avoid assassinations. After all, those who couldn't defeat the prefect wouldn't mind targeting the prefect's son instead. Generally, only those at the Mountainsea Realm will know more, but your teacher isn't a Mountainsea." The most update n0vels are published on ɴovel(F)ɪre

Su Yu nodded. Inwardly, he was wondering if Xia Huyou was Xia Longwu's son. But that seemed unlikely. Xia Longwu was wise, strong, bold, powerful, stern, and persistent. Would he have a son like Xia Huyou? Su Yu would not believe that!

After a short chat, Su Yu left his teacher and returned to his cultivation. He was going to focus on opening more soul apertures.

Apart from opening his apertures, he also needed to open more acupoints. For example, the acupoints required by the Soul Devouring Art. If he had already opened those acupoints, he would have been able to defeat Wang He much easier during his previous match.

With the unique burning source qi, he would be able to first cause his opponent to wail in pain before taking the chance to finish off his opponent with a kick.

After his previous matches, a lot of people were already aware of his strength. If people started targeting him, his future matches would definitely be much harder. Thus, he had to further strengthen himself.

He aimed to get himself a new trump card each time he disappeared from the public eye. Thus, anyone daring to target him based on his past performance would die a terrible death.
