Tribulation of Myriad Races

It was late at night when Su Yu walked out of Zhao Li's research center.

The environment was tranquil and peaceful. Standing outside, Su Yu took out his voice transmission talisman and started checking the messages in it. He had received several messages from Xia Huyou, but nothing important was mentioned. Su Yu was already aware of Di Feng's return, but he wasn't too bothered.

Di Feng had killed a Skysoar and might be allowed to enter the Willpower Grotto. So what? That had nothing to do with Su Yu! He was a low-profile person!

It hadn't even crossed his mind to challenge Di Feng before the opening of the grotto. How pointless. There was no guarantee he could win. And even if he could win, he might end up injuring himself and missing out on the grotto. That would be a truly great loss.

It was pointless to deal with people like Di Feng with some beatings. People like that would forget the beating soon after. He had just been punished by the Discipline Hall not long ago. Had he learned a lesson from that? Nope!

Su Yu was in full agreement with Principal Wan! He should either do nothing or go all the way!

As for whether the principal had actually said those words to Su Yu, it no longer mattered. That was Su Yu's takeaway from his meeting with the principal. That alone was enough.

Apart from Xia Huyou, he had also received some messages from a few other people. Su Yu had two voice transmission talismans on him. One for the Mutual Aid Club while the other for his smurf accounts.

The messages from Xia Huyou had also been sent to the Mutual Aid Club talisman. Xia Huyou himself was unaware of the club's existence, but his talisman was actually connected to the club network. Su Yu started checking his other messages.

"List of individuals that are going to be entering the Willpower Grotto..."

This was a message from Lin Yao.

In the message, Su Yu was reminded to be careful as some people might target him in the grotto. They aimed to surround him and absorb all the willpower around him. He was reminded to try to get some help and solve this issue before entering the grotto.

Su Yu raised his brow. Something like that was actually an option?

The single character faction sure was creative.

But he had already opened 44 apertures. Thus, his absorption speed could very well be as fast as actual Skysoar cultivators.

"But I can't be too conspicuous..."

It was fine.

A lot of people would be in the grotto. He could simply stay near Xia Huyou and the others. People like Wan Mingze would be in the grotto as well. Those people were courageous enough to target him, but were they courageous enough to target the junior of the Wan Family?

There was also Xia Chan. What could those people do if he decided to stick close to her?

What a stupid plan.

Su Yu was completely unbothered. A plan like that would never work. He wasn't stupid. Why would he insist on competing against them in terms of absorption power? He could simply stick closely with the students with strong backgrounds. Would those people interrupt Xia Chan's cultivation just to slow his progress? Were they not afraid of being beaten to death by the Xia Family?

Lin Yao had also talked about his senior brother, Yang Sha. At the moment, he was still testing and observing his senior brother. He had yet to invite his senior brother into the club.

"..."

Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lin Yao sure was taking this very seriously. Sure, Lin Yao. If that was what he wanted to do, fine.

As for the name list, Su Yu saw a few familiar names in it. But among Di Feng's group, Di Feng was the only person to have received the opportunity to enter. Both Huang Qifeng and Qiu Yi were still banned. The death of a single Skysoar was not enough to offset what all three of them had done.

After looking through the messages of the Mutual Aid Club talisman, Su Yu started checking the talisman for the Single Eradication Club. Thus far, only a single talisman connected to the Single Eradication Club's network had been given out. Liu Hong was the lucky sole recipient. A message could be seen in the talisman. And it had just been sent not long ago.

"Yellow99: Newbie reporting in. Seniors, anyone has any guidance for this newbie?"

"Heaven7: Everyone is busy cultivating. Nobody has the time to reply."

"Heaven2: I'm in a meeting with an elder. Don't disturb me."

"..."

Of the few messages in the talisman, Yellow99's message was the sole authentic message. The other messages were basically Su Yu's prerecorded automatic reply.

This would work well for now since there weren't a lot of people with access to this network. Things could be exposed very easily if there were more people. Since Liu Hong was the sole newbie in the network, Su Yu was able to easily deal with him with several smurf accounts and automated replies.

"Yellow99..."

Su Yu was somewhat speechless. What an inconspicuous name.

After thinking about it, Su Yu replied, "Earth8: I have no guidance, but I have a warning. Do not provoke Principal Wan. That's a Sunmoon expert. Be careful lest you get yourself killed."

A short while later, a reply came.

"Yellow99: The principal is a Sunmoon? According to the records I have, he's a peak Mountainsea."

"Earth8: Wow, what a rookie. You actually trust those public records? How dumb are you? The principal has been a Sunmoon for quite a while."

"Earth22: It's normal for newbies to not know about this. Since this newbie is unaware of the principal's cultivation, this guy is probably a weakling. Little newbie, let me tell you a secret as well. Have you cultivated the characters of other races? If you have, destroy those characters as soon as possible. Human characters are the strongest."

"Earth8: 22, don't talk drivel in front of a newbie."

"Earth22: This isn't even a secret among the strong. Anyone can sense the same after reaching the peak Mountainsea Realm."

"..."

The smurf accounts started conversing with each other. Meanwhile, Yellow99, or to be precise, Liu Hong, had a surprised expression.

What was the meaning of that?

He had no idea!

Human characters were the strongest?

Don't joke around!

His heart thumped as he hurriedly asked, "Why?"The source of this content ɪs novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

"Earth22: Why? You will know when you reach peak Mountainsea Realm and find yourself stuck. Of course, you're probably a small fry. That realm is still too far away for you. Maybe it's a level you will never reach in your life. It doesn't matter what I say. It won't matter to you."

"..."

Liu Hong was speechless. But his heart thumped as he realized something else.

This person...was a peak Mountainsea?

Was this a joke?

There weren't even that many Mountainsea experts in the academy!

The four vice principals were peak Mountainseas. Hong Tan was also one. The faculty heads were also at the same level. Were there more peak Mountainseas hidden in the academy?

"Yellow99: Seniors, I am a newbie. I beseech you for more advise. Aren't human characters the weakest? Why are they suddenly the strongest? I don't understand."

"Earth22: Call me grandpa and I'll teach you something."

"..."

Liu Hong was furious. Screw you!

But he was getting really curious. Why did they say that?

He was completely clueless.

After some inner struggle, he decided to give in. Nobody knew who Yellow99 was anyway. Su Yu might know, but he had spent a few days observing the chat. He found that there were actually a few other newbies that had joined during the past few days.

Thus, not even Su Yu might know his username! He had only dared to start sending messages after waiting a few days. He gritted his teeth and decided to do it. Nobody knew it was him anyway.

"Yellow99: Grandpa, please bestow your wisdom upon this junior."

"..."

Su Yu was speechless.

Holy shit!

This was definitely Liu Hong! He had most likely not given the talisman to someone else. Would Elder Sun actually do something like calling someone else grandpa?

What a joke!

As for the matter concerning human characters, a lot of people knew about it. Hong Tan had said that this matter had even been brought up in the previous elder meetings.

Su Yu wasted no time to give a reply.

"Earth22: Good grandson. Who's a good boy? Your grandpa shall enlighten you. The characters of the divine and devil races might be strong now, but at the peak Mountainsea Realm when you're attempting a breakthrough, your characters might emit a repelling force that would cause you to fail your breakthrough."

Liu Hong's heart thumped. Was that the case? He was really unaware of that! In that case, the higher ups of the academy were already aware of this matter? He wanted to ask more, but before he could say anything, he received another message.

"Earth22: Good grandson, your grandpa is leaving. Talk to you later."

Liu Hong was feeling very gloomy. Screw your grandson!

But he was also feeling quite helpless. The sole person willing to entertain him was gone while the rest were ignoring him. Forget it. He would try to ask more questions when the chat room was more active. At the very least, he should try to become a regular here.

What a surprise. This was his first time chatting in this room yet he had already received several important pieces of information.

Firstly, the principal was a Sunmoon.

Secondly, the characters of the divines and devils would be an obstacle during the breakthrough to the Sunmoon Realm. But how about the Sunmoon experts of the past? Unfortunately, he wasn't able to ask that question in time.

"Single Eradication Club..."

In his villa, Liu Hong's eyes flickered as he deleted a few messages in the talisman to prevent Elder Sun from discovering some of the messages he had sent.

...

"What a shameless guy."

Su Yu really didn't know what to say.

It was a pity that he still couldn't expose the scam. Otherwise, Liu Hong would probably be too embarrassed to stay alive if what he did was exposed. Or maybe not. Liu Hong was shameless enough that something like that might not faze him.

...

Before long, Su Yu tossed the matter out of his mind. The Single Eradication Club was merely something he had created on a whim. Perhaps he could consider giving out more talismans. It was quite hard to get any important information from Liu Hong alone.

For now, he needed to wait and slowly reel Liu Hong in. The guy might really leak some important information in the future when his interest in the Single Eradication Club grew to a certain level.

When Su Yu returned to the research center, he found that Hong Tan had actually returned.

Hong Tan did not ask Su Yu anything when he saw that the kid was back. He said, "I will be outside the grotto tomorrow as well. I'll be opening the grotto alongside Zhou Mingren and the others. We will work together to keep the grotto open for a longer time. In the grotto, the unspoken rule is that you shouldn't disturb others. But those people might not be willing to follow that rule. Just be careful in the grotto."

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Grandteacher."

Su Yu said, "Grandteacher, can I stay in the grotto until the very end?"

"Yeah." Hong Tan nodded, "But there is a limit to the amount of willpower you can absorb. Early on, you will be growing your willpower but toward the end, you will need to focus on nurturing your willpower and characters. Be sure to stop absorbing after reaching your limit. You don't want to stuff your willpower so full that it bursts apart."

"I understand." Su Yu nodded.

Hong Tan said, "A few days would pass before you leave the grotto. A new month will arrive and both your teacher and my senior brother will be leaving Great Xia for the Allheaven Battlefield."

Hong Tan sighed, "I can only hope that they will be fine there. Don't go anywhere after leaving the grotto. Try to find some time to say your farewells to them."

When Su Yu heard that, his mood fell. The Allheaven Battlefield was extremely dangerous. That was even more so for the Vanguard Regiment. Half a year ago, he had sent his father off. And now, both his teachers would also be departing for the Allheaven Battlefield. He really didn't know what to feel.

All the people that were close to him would be in the Allheaven Battlefield. It would be fine if these people had departed after a regular military enlistment, but his teachers were being exiled there. He couldn't help but feel terrible about it.

The single character faction was the cause of all this! Sooner or later, he would have his revenge!

Hong Tan also sank into silence. Both his senior brother and student had been exiled to the Allheaven Battlefield. He was also rather upset about it. Nobody knew if the two would leave the Allheaven Battlefield alive.

He had just returned from the Allheaven Battlefield himself yet those two would be sent off soon.

Wait. Allheaven Battlefield. Had he forgotten something? Yes. He had just returned from the Allheaven Battlefield. Why had he left for the Allheaven Battlefield in the first place?

His expression turned odd.

Holy shit!

He had actually forgotten about it. Was that thing dead?

If that thing was dead, it would be a massive loss for him!
