Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu shook his head, "When I was in secondary school, I dreamed big. I wanted to fight for humanity and justice. That is no longer the case. Now, I only fight for my loved ones, my friends, and my teachers."

Change was inevitable.

As a child, he was hot-blooded with grand aspirations. He wanted to fight for humanity. In truth, that was due to the influence of his father. But his state of mind had changed again and again after everything he had experienced in the academy.

"That much is enough."

Niu Baidao smiled and said, "Fighting for those you want to protect is enough. Fighting for humanity? Fighting for the Human Realm? That sounds like an empty slogan. Not everyone in the Human Realm is worth protecting. This is how a normal person will think. Besides, is the human race truly at the right?"

He smiled and said, "Not necessarily. The divines and devils invaded us. We invaded the minor races. Is there a difference between the two? Nope. Thus, there is no need to sit on a high horse all the time. We are merely abiding by the laws of nature, where the strong devours the weak. How can we even call what we do to the minor races justice?"

At that point, Niu Baidao opened the bottle of liquor Su Yu brought. After taking a sip, he shook his head and said, "It tastes alright. During your next visit, bring something better. Don't be so stingy.

"Regardless of what we do, whether it's fighting or researching, we generally do it for fame, fortune, or the safety of our loved ones. Nobody is without their own desires. Is someone like that still a living being? Even a saint will have something they want. For example, you're here today with these bottles of liquor because you need something from me, right?"

"Yeah." Su Yu nodded and said, "I'm here to seek your guidance."

Su Yu took out a puppet. When Niu Baidao saw that, he asked, "You're askingabout acupoints?"

"Yes."

"I know four acupoints that are not on this puppet."

He pointed at the puppet, creating four more red dots on it. With that, Su Yu had collected 357 acupoints in total.

Niu Baidao thought about it and said, "You wish to open 360 acupoints, but it won't be easy. For the final three, visit the Bai Family when you find the time. In the past, Bai Tianhao opened a lot of acupoints. He might not have 360 acupoints opened, but the Bai Family is probably aware of shidden acupoints."

"Bai Family..." Su Yu hesitated slightly and said, "I'm a student of Teacher Bai Feng. The Bai Family should be aware of this. But not even Bai Junsheng has bothered invitingto their home. Would it be inappropriate forto visit?"

Niu Baidao said, "Kid, you worry too much. Since you don't have an invitation, just go knocking. Also, you better produce something as soon as possible."

"Hmm?"

"You need to slap sfaces, right?"

Niu Baidao grinned and said, "You should produce a new creation every now and then. Make sure Great Xia won't be able to forget you. You're not doing this to win the favor of a big shot or something like that. You are doing this to let everyone know that you are still capable of more. The masses are forgetful. Before long, people will start thinking that it's not a big deal to lose you."

"Thus, you need to let them hear your nfrequently. Turn into a sharp needle that constantly prods at their minds. Constantly remind them of your existence. Fis actually quite useful. With fame, even the way people look at you will change. For example, after causing the death of a Sunmoon, speople might think that you were too excessive. Why did you create such a big ruckus for a small matter like that?"

Su Yu frowned and questioned, "Is having a Sunmoon killstill a small matter?"

"Because those people are mere spectators." Niu Baidao said, "They are not the ones suffering, so of course they can easily make these remarks. For example, if you learn that a Sunmoon attempted to kill a genius from Great Zhou. As retaliation, the genius recruited shelp and had the Sunmoon killed. How would you view this incident?"

Su Yu thought about it and said, "Since nothing was lost, they can spare the Sunmoon death and exile the Sunmoon to kill senemies at the Allheaven Battlefield instead. After all, a Sunmoon is still quite useful."

"Exactly." Niu Baidao said, "You're very smart. This is what it means to be a spectator. Thus, a bunch of random individuals are saying that Jin Yuhui shouldn't have been killed. He should be recycled and exiled to the Allheaven Battlefield instead. Thus, you need to change this. You need to make every believe that for even attempting to kill you, Jin Yuhui deserves death.

"Make everyone believe that it is a sin to even attempt something like that. Make everyone believe that someone like that is wicked beyond redemption. Make it so that even those neutral Invincibles will think that only the most idiotic person will do something like killing you. Build yourself up to the point where the masses believe that you're even more important than an Invincible."

Niu Baidao grinned and said, "It's fine to be weak. Just because you are weak, it doesn't mean that you're helpless. If you're able to increase your value to the point where even sInvincibles believe that losing an Invincible for you is worth it...everything will be much easier for you. There will naturally be someone who will cut off the heads of your enemies for you. There won't be a need for you to even lift a finger. They will deliver the heads to you, telling you to ignore those fools. You only need to look at the severed heads and see if you're satisfied with the way these heads were cut."

Su Yu had a pensive look as he asked, "Do you know about the disassembly method?"

"That won't do." Niu Baidao said, "That thing will do more than attract the attention of our Invincibles. It will also attract the attention of the myriad race Invincibles."

"Instead, something like the Acupoint Fusion Art will be perfect. At the very least, the disassembly method is not something you can reveal for now. The myriad races have always been wary of the multiple character faction. All of us can see that. Perhaps the character techniques of the single character faction are the reason for that. Or perhaps it is due to the multiple character faction's potential to produce a cultural researcher Invincible. In any case, a lot of people are pretending to be blind right now. Do not provoke the myriad races this early. It's pointless. You only need to build your fame."

Su Yu nodded.

"You can produce an aperture fusion art. You can even produce a 36-aperture foundation cultural art. And remember, only disseminate your cultivation methods in Great Ming. That way, the outsiders will be forced to beg you for your cultivation methods.

"No, you can even authorize the Zhu Family to handle this for you. They will be forced to negotiate with Prefect Zhu while you can ignore all of them. You only need to continue acting as a genius researcher. That much is enough. The Zhu Family will protect you. After being ripped off by Prefect Zhu multiple times, the others will start blaming Great Xia's single character faction for what they did.

"Or perhaps...you can even set a condition that your cultivation methods can only be disseminated in prefectures with an active multiple character faction. Through this, you can slowly push the single character faction opposite of everyone else. But don't set the entire single character faction as your enemy. That privilege can be reserved for Great Xia's single character faction."

Once again, Su Yu sank into thought. This was...truly an interesting principal. Those words made a lot of sense.

Niu Baidao was not finished, "Currently, a lot of the internal struggles originated from the Knowledge Seeking Realm and the cultural researchers, not the warriors. You can consider roping in the warriors and the commoners. You can even supply simportant yet easy cultivation methods for free to these people

"And if you really manage to discover the source soul acupoint and share your findings with the Human Realm...tsk tsk. You will cto be known as the Father of Source Soul Acupoint."

Niu Baidao grinned, "This is how fickle the human heart is. At that point, your very existence will be the embodiment of justice. Any word you say will be right. You will sit atop the highest horse of all. And any enemy of yours will be instantly viewed as an enemy of humanity. Not even a human Invincible can be an exception. With the popular sentiment at your side, all your enemies will automatically turn into traitors of humanity. Nobody will object as that will turn them into traitors as well."

"Kid, you're a smart man. You wouldn't have opted to join Great Ming otherwise. And as a smart man, you should not stay too narrow-minded. Do you really think that you can only kill Invincibles after reaching the Invincible Realm yourself?

"Says who? Isn't it tiring to constantly swallow your anger? The smarter one is, the easier it is for one to stay overly stubborn because of their faith. Just look at people like Liu Wenyan. It is tiring to be like them. His entire family was dead. Was that really an accident?

"Yet he remained patient. He remained silent. Have you heard of the saying that a child who doesn't know how to cry won't get the milk? Is humanity aware of the Liu Family's contribution? Only a small number of people are aware of that. The majority of humanity is still oblivious. As for the few that are aware, they are remaining silent because it doesn't affect them.

"Well, that's understandable. A genius will naturally try to take their revenge themselves. They won't cry. They won't complain. They will suffer in silence. Is that smart? No. He should have cried. He should have let humanity know about the contributions of the Liu Family and the injustice they suffered. Use the popular sentiment and threaten even Invincibles. If Liu Wenyan had decided to act decades ago, he could have easily changed everything. After all, he was very well-known back then. But now...most people have forgotten about his existence.

"You're in a completely different situation. You are a recent genius. You need to keep building your fame, to the point where you can kill simply using your fame."

Slowly, Su Yu's eyes turned bright. True. He had been thinking of helping his teachers after growing strong himself. But Principal Niu was right. How long would he take to becan Invincible? How many years would he need to wait? But fitself could be used as a weapon!

After all, that was precisely what he had used to kill Jin Yuhui and the others! If he was a nobody, would Zhu Tiandao have bothered to kill Jin Yuhui for him?

Impossible.

What Su Yu did previously was correct. Using his fand the strength of others, he had killed two Sunmoons and more than ten Mountainseas. Only someone with true ability would be capable of that.

"Thank you, Principal. I feel enlightened."

Su Yu was sincere. This Principal Niu...was akin to a lighthouse of life! This wouldn't even be considered a conspiracy. Instead, it was an open ploy. He was borrowing the power of the masses.

Of course, he needed to first be outstanding enough that the human race could not afford to lose him for that to happen.

While sipping on his liquor, Niu Baidao said, "Good. Stop thinking too much. Great Ming is a good choice. You will stay protected here. The people here have both the strength and the courage to protect you.

"Kid, turn yourself into an embodiment of justice. Do not learn from sfools who have turned the entire world into their enemy, believing that the world is wrong while they are right. In that scenario, you will be wrong even if you're right.

"Since you can't stand against the world alone, then lead them to the correct path. Most people, including many experts, are quite clueless. These people mostly act per popular sentiment. And you can transform into the popular sentiment, becan unstoppable wave that will crush all who stand against you. Your enemy will becthe enemy of the world. This is your path."

Su Yu nodded repeatedly. He felt enlightened. This Principal Niu was truly incredible. He even thought that Teacher Liu should have sought Principal Niu's guidance back then. If he had done so, perhaps everything would be entirely different today.
