Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu was disappointed with Great Xia. He had lost all hope in the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. He was slowly sinking into despair.

"You—"

Old Huang's voice was stuck in his throat for a long while. His eyes turned slightly red as he eventually said, "You're right. You have my support. I will write a letter of recommendation to you. Back then, I fought alongside a few Mountainseas from Great Ming Cultural Research Academy on the battlefield. If you go there, you can show them my letter to get sassistance from them..."

He looked at Su Yu with sorrow in his heart. Su Yu was going to leave. Would there be a miracle today? Would someone appear to stop everything today?

The more Old Huang thought about it, the less hopeful he was. Perhaps Su Yu was right. Nobody would stop the single character faction. Wan Tiansheng was the protector of the rules. Dropping ranks to challenge a different student was not against the rules. The Xia Family would forever be neutral. As a neutral party, they wouldn't involve themselves even if this wasn't right.

A bleak smile appeared on Old Huang's face as he said, "This...is probably a good choice. Great Ming's prefect, Zhu Tiandao, is a good man. He is also an interesting man. He attaches great importance to talented individuals. He is hungry for talent. Unfortunately, due to the lack of strength of Great Ming, he has never been able to attract enough geniuses. You will be able to earn his favor in Great Ming.

"The Xia Family has too many misgivings. To produce their second Invincible, too many things are happening in the background. Speople are afraid of them. Speople don't want to see a second Invincible in their family. I know you're resentful, but do not resent the Xia Family. The advancement of Prefect Xia into the Invincible Realm...is a lot more complicated than it seems.

"Remember this, kid. Not everyone wants to see the birth of a family with two Invincibles. The Zhou Family is the perfect example of what would happen when you try to produce additional Invincibles."

Old Huang was especially talkative today, even touching upon topics that should have been taboo. He gloomily said, "Great Zhou...Zhou Family...sigh. Two Invincibles per family. Three Invincibles per family...hehehe. Zhou Polong wishes to affirm his dao and enter the Invincible Realm? Zhou Potian wishes to affirm his dao as well? Nah. They can only wait patiently."

The smile on Old Huang's face turned slightly wild as he said, "Don't blthe Xia Family. I am not trying to find excuses for them, but Prefect Xia wishes to affirm his dao. Thus, he can't afford to offend too many people before that. Or else, he would die during his advancement."

He would definitely die.

Su Yu's heart trembled.

"He could not afford to show his stand. He could not afford to show any bias. Even if he is unwilling, even if he is indignant...his hands are tied. All for the sake of a successful advancement."

Old Huang looked at Su Yu, sadness in his voice as he said, "It's this simple. Do you understand now? But the Zhu Family has no such misgivings. Great Ming King is also very strong. But Prefect Zhu Tiandao is probably 100 years away from his dao affirmation. Thus, the Zhu Family has nothing to fear. They have an Invincible, but they don't need to please everyone because they don’t have someone waiting to advance into the Invincible Realm. They have nothing to ask from others, but others have a lot to ask from them. Do you understand now?"

Su Yu understood. At this moment, a lot of his questions had finally been answered. For the sake of dao affirmation. All for the sake of dao affirmation.

Because of that, Xia Longwu disappeared from the public eye. Because of that, Great Xia stopped being hostile toward the myriad races. Because of that, the Xia Family was trying to avoid offending speople.

Thus, they wanted him to wait. It wasn't that they couldn't see his value. But they still needed him to wait. Even after what he produced, he still must wait.

Everything would need to wait until Xia Longwu's advancement.

Realization dawned on Su Yu.

All his doubts were dispelled. He had always been confused about Xia Family's attitude. But Old Huang had dispelled his confusion.

After a short silence, Su Yu asked, "What about the principal?"

"He's probably waiting for the sthing. He's buying tfor the Xia Family. Even if he wants to cleanse the academy, it won't happen now. Perhaps you can see a result in a year or two."

Su Yu's mood turned bleak.

Wait.

Was a year or two long? Not at all. But he didn't want to wait any longer. If he was given enough support, he would be able to reach the Skysoar, Cloudbreach, or even the Mountainsea Realm in no time.

He finally understood that he had only been disrupting the plans of the principal and Xia Family with what he had done. Perhaps...his departure would benefit everyone. He had overestimated his importance. The more outstanding he was, the more hatred he would attract, and the more difficult a position he would put the Xia Family and the principal in.

Finally, Su Yu smiled and nodded, "I understand, Elder Huang."

It seemed like leaving was already a foregone conclusion. The only question was whether Great Ming would be his destination. That place...was too unfamiliar.

Great Ming King, Zhu Tiandao, and the Bai Family of his teacher. All those people were in Great Ming.

Still smiling, Su Yu glanced at his senior sister who was waiting outside the building. Suddenly, he felt empty inside. He would leave soon. Would his senior sister go with him? His martial uncle would probably not leave. And his martial uncle could probably take good care of his senior sister, right?

His grandteacher would still be around as well.

There was also Wu Lan...but that fellow had her Wu Family here. Perhaps his departure would be a good thing for them as well. He would only attract countless trouble here, forcing people like Wu Yuehua to fight for him.

There was no need for him to worry about Xia Huyou. That was Xia Longwu's son. Was there a need to worry about him?

There were also Zheng Yunhui and Jiang Mu...But neither were the people he needed to worry about. At that realization, Su Yu smiled again. He seemed to be the one who would bring them trouble instead of the other way around.

Lan Tian Research Center...Source Soul Research Center...

Su Yu turned somewhat absent-minded.

Lan Tian had betrayed Great Xia. Would his departure be viewed as a betrayal as well?

At this moment, he had decided to leave Great Xia. Perhaps...this was really a form of betrayal. After all, there were still speople who had put a lot of effort into helping him here.

There was Lin Yao, who had foolishly believed in his Mutual Aid Club. There was Hu Zongji who had worked very hard for the Mutual Aid Club. Perhaps he could leave sthings behind for them before leaving.

He owed Great Xia nothing. The acupoint fusion method alone was enough to repay whatever he owed Great Xia. As for his teachers...he believed that they would support his decision.

There was also Teacher Zhao...the teacher who had been so kind to him. He could only apologize to Teacher Zhao.

Su Yu had yet to leave, but he could already guess what would happen later today.

...

At that moment, when the others looked at Su Yu again, he seemed somewhat different.

It felt as though he had been relieved from a heavy burden. He seemed a lot more relaxed than before. This was the very first tSu Yu had emanated such a free and unfettered sensation.

He had remained cautious for way too long. He was tired of that. A life where he was afraid of leaving the academy, afraid of accepting any missions, afraid of showing his true potential, afraid of letting people discover his weakness. All that because speople were targeting him. They were focusing on every action he took.

But today, he could finally let go of himself. He could finally fight to his heart's content. He could vent all his feelings. A smile bloomed on Su Yu's face. When his gaze landed on the crowd and Di Feng who had just entered the room, his smile grew wider. When Di Feng noticed that, he frowned. But Su Yu no longer cared.

...

At the stime.

Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

Wan Tiansheng stared at the sky in silence for a very long time. What he saw might not be true.

Sure, he did see the kid as a Mountainsea. But he did not know the location of the scene he saw.

He had not seen the kid's departure.

He had not seen the kid leaving hin disappointment.

"Su Yu..."

He sounded helpless.

Why had the human race turned into something like this? Had humanity forgotten the pain from over 300 years ago after centuries of peace? The myriad races were still out there. Had everyone forgotten? Who should take the blfor Su Yu's departure?

Him?

Perhaps.

With a sigh, Wan Tiansheng shook his head and returned to his book.

Outside the window, a silhouette appeared. The silhouette smiled and said, "Everyone has their destiny. Perhaps this departure is also his destiny. I heard what he said. Let it be. This might be what fate has intended for him."

Wan Tiansheng smiled, "Is that so? Since you're back, why haven't you shown yourself, Great Xia King?"

The silhouette stepped through the wall to enter the room, as though there was nothing in his way. Behind him, the window and wall were still the seven after he stepped through them.

"Why should I show myself?"

Great Xia King had a square face that gave him a stern look. One could find a great resemblance between him and Xia Longwu. A smile appeared on that face as he said, "I'm here to watch a play. Mark my words. The day Longwu attempts his dao affirmation is the day I start my slaughter. I have only done all this to protect Longwu during his advancement. I have stayed patient for 50 years. Regardless of the result of Longwu's advancement, that will be the day I unsheath my blade."

"If that's really the case, why bother sheltering Liu Wenyan? You're creating trouble for yourself."

Great Xia King laughed, "Do I, Xia Wushen, need to consider the feelings of others before I do something as trivial as sheltering one man?"

"Why don't you extend your protection to Su Yu, then?"

Great Xia King replied, "He still has a path ahead of him. Liu Wenyan's path has ended. Since the kid has other options, why stay on this ship that might be overturned at any time? Old Zhu is a good man. Sure, he is quite greasy, but a greasy man knows how to live a comfortable life. He never involves himself in politics, but he has great strength. Who dares to provoke someone like him? This is a good thing. It is safer for the kid to be with Old Zhu than me."

Wan Tiansheng said nothing.

Great Xia King turned around to leave. Before leaving, he softly said, "I know you are planning something, but I need you to stay patient for now. I need Longwu to complete his advancement. Without his advancement, we will have one less Invincible. How can we compete without enough firepower?"

"Alright."

Wan Tiansheng smiled and bowed as Great Xia King left.

Nobody saw Great Xia King. Nobody dared to pry upon him. Nobody was capable of seeing him.
