Tribulation of Myriad Races

Outside.

Niu Baidao stared at Su Yu for a long while before smiling, "Sure. Old Hu's Four Seasons Pavilion has a nice pavilion. You sure are lucky to have it for yourselves now."

Hu Xiansheng didn't know what to say. That damn principal had no idea how hurtful those words were.

Looking at Su Yu, Hu Xiansheng mumbled, "Fake cultural researcher."

Was this kid still a cultural researcher?

Bullshit! None cultural researcher who was like him! Even after using his deceit character to hide his aura, Su Yu still couldn't conceal the explosive strength hiding within his body.

Su Yu might still look thin and frail, but Hu Xiansheng was certain that even a Skysoar would be punched to death if they decided to engage Su Yu in close combat. Only a super genius who had forged their body more than ten times stood a chance against Su Yu.

"Ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm?"

Niu Baidao stepped through the door and said, "Have you decided on your body forging art? If you haven't I have a few decent arts with me. You can pick one. The strongest one among them can allow you to forge your body 27 times. You can forge your body 3 times per stage."

Hu Xiansheng shook his head and said, "It's pointless to forge your body too many times. The more you forge your body, the weaker the effect will be while the resources required will increase significantly. After all, most people forge their bodies with blood essence." "For example, even using the most basic forging art will require 10 drops of blood essence per forge."

With a grimace, he said, "Your current body is probably as strong as someone who has forged their body seven or eight times. Thus, you will require seventh or eighth-stage Skysoar blood essence. And if you wish to use divine or devil blood essence...you should settle with a basic nine-forge art. That way, you would only need a hundred drops of blood essence to finish your forging and enter the Cloudbreach Realm."

If this kid insisted on picking a forging art where he could forge his body dozens of times, he wouldn't be able to get enough blood essence to complete the process.

He would probably need several hundred or even a thousand drops of blood essence to complete the forging. Also, this kid wouldn't try to forge his body using only the blood essence of first divines and original devils, right?

If that was the case, the kid would need to kill dozens of first divines or original devils to get enough blood essence. Hu Xiansheng didn't even dare to imagine doing that. Perhaps even Great Qin would find that troublesome.

The first divines and original devils were small in number. And Su Yu was also quite picky in what he needed. Only the blood essence of those at the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm would work for him. Killing so many of their Skysoars would probably cause even their Sunmoons and Invincibles to show up.

Clearly, Niu Baidao had thought of the sas well. With a cough, he said, "A nine-forge art is actually quite good. You can enter the Cloudbreach or even the Mountainsea Realm earlier. Your body will be slightly weaker, but it doesn't matter. It won't be too weak after nine forgings. You can focus on your willpower cultivation instead."

Yeah, he should stop promoting the stronger body forging arts. He was worried that Su Yu would be tempted by one that could forge his body dozens of times. Damn it. That would be very troublesome.

Who would be able to supply him with all the blood essence he needed? Especially when the kid needed the blood essence of first divines and original devils. Even Zhu Tiandao would find that troublesto supply.

Su Yu smiled, "I'm in no rush."

He was speaking the truth. He was already strong enough to fight Cloudbreaches. Why the rush? He would take his time. 27-forge art? That wasn't too strong, right? He wanted to at least forge his body 36 times.

If the body forging arts were split into the heaven, earth, profound, and yellow grades, and the level was increased per 9 forgings, a 36-forge art would be a heaven-grade art. He would not accept anything lower than the heaven grade.

If he could increase his strength by 10 percent per forge, even if the effect would weaken with subsequent forgings, at the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm, he could probably be strong enough to face a Mountainsea...a weak Mountainsea, to be precise.

Then again, nothing was certain. After fusing all acupoints into one, a cultivator would step into the Mountainsea Realm. At the Mountainsea Realm, one's source qi would undergo nine transformations.

And the higher the cultivation level, the harder it was for someone to challenge someone one realm above. That was unlike the lower realms where one could challenge opponents one realm above as long as one was talented enough.

Meanwhile, Cloudbreaches capable of facing Mountainseas were extremely rare. Usually, something like this would only happen when it was a late-stage Cloudbreach facing an early-stage Mountainsea. Bai Tianhao's feat of killing a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a Cloudbreach was a unique feat that had not been repeated since then. That was also why he was able to leave his nin the history books.

Top floor.

Four Seasons Pavilion.

Only Su Yu, Niu Baidao, and Hu Xiansheng were there. They were drinking the tea that Hu Xiansheng had left behind. Hu Xiansheng had a complicated feeling as he sipped on his own tea.

After a short silence, Hu Xiansheng asked, "Kid, do you want to consider researching the teleportation formation? A formation like that is very helpful. It is the best escape tool you can have..."

He had noticed that Su Yu was someone capable of rapidly producing results in whatever he decided to research.

Was this due to the ruin inheritance? If that was the case, were teleportation formations part of that inheritance? Teleportation formations probably existed during ancient times as well, right?

Su Yu said, "Faculty Head, I'm not capable of researching something like that for now."

Hu Xiansheng felt regretful to hear that. Niu Baidao smiled and said, "Don't listen to Old Hu. Su Yu, you challenged Shan Xiong to a match to the death, but there was no response. Are you going to keep pushing him or are you going to forget this?"

He was more curious about Su Yu's current strength.

Shan Xiong was not weak at all. He wouldn't have been able to defeat the multiple character faction branches of so many prefectures otherwise.

"Maybe you should forget it? You are already too famous. With your current status, you will lose a lot in the event of a defeat. Even if you can emerge victorious, you won't get much."

Su Yu said, "I don't really care. If he has the guts to come, I'll fight him. If not, so be it."

Su Yu moved on to a different topic, "Principal, can I use stronger blood essence for my body forging? For example, using the blood essence of Sunmoon experts..."

"If you're not afraid of death, sure."

Niu Baidao didn't know what else to say.

After thinking about it, he said, "Your body is quite strong, so you'll probably be fine with Cloudbreach blood essence. But Mountainsea blood essence might kill you."

Su Yu felt regretful, but he could only accept the advice. If he could use Sunmoon blood essence, he could probably reduce the quantity due to the quality of the blood essence. A single drop could probably be used for several forgings.

Noticing Su Yu's expression, Niu Baidao smiled, "Su Yu, I think you're better off choosing something with fewer forgings. It's not that I don't want you to forge the strongest body ever, but not even those Invincibles were as hardcore as you during their youth. If you continue on this path, you might reach the level of the fifth principal, where you can fight Invincibles as a Sunmoon. But if you start cultivating like a normal person, you will be able to smoothly reach the Invincible Realm."

There was no doubt in Niu Baidao's words. In his view, Su Yu might really reach the fifth principal's height. The fifth principal, Ye Batian, was acknowledged by everyone as an unrivaled genius.

Even Liu Wenyan, someone capable of fighting Skysoars at the Mental Tempering Stage in his youth, had never been lauded as a genius that could rival the fifth principal. But now, a founder of an academy, Niu Baidao, had declared that Su Yu could reach that height.

After all, this kid was truly too terrifying.

Su Yu shook his head, "In truth, my combat experience is still lacking..."

"..."

Bullshit!

Combat experience?

Did the kid think that one would only have enough combat experience if one fought every single day? What a load of nonsense.

Su Yu? Lacking combat experience?

After killing so many beasts and humans, and fighting so many people above his level, the kid had the gall to make that claim? Speople could spend a lifetnot fighting even a single opponent above their level. Meanwhile, Su Yu had killed a large number of Cloudbreaches during his trip to Great Ming. Was that what he called lacking in combat experience?

That was the best type of combat experience to have, experience that had been accumulated in the midst of dangerous battles. Su Yu was not the type of cultivator who had gained his strength through secluded cultivation sessions alone. Instead, he had killed a lot of people. He was rich in combat experience.

Niu Baidao didn't even deign to say anything to that. Strictly speaking, not even people like him and Hu Xiansheng were as experienced as Su Yu in terms of pure combat when they were at his level. This kid could already be considered a mass murderer. The people of Great Ming wouldn't have called him a psychopath otherwise.

After a short conversation, Niu Baidao and Hu Xiansheng left. Meanwhile, Su Yu sank into contemplation.

Body forging.

Others would start body forging at the Skysoar Realm. What should he do? Should he pick something with nine forgings? Or should he pick something better? What type of forging art should he pick?

The main material required for body forging was blood essence. He would probably need to use the blood essence of divines and devils for his forging. And he was not willing to use the blood essence of regular divines and devils. Instead, he wanted the blood essence of first divines and original devils. For most people, a single forging would take around 10 drops of blood essence.

Of course, if one used a garbage forging art, one could probably complete the entire process with only 10 drops of fire hog blood essence.

And if one was desperate enough, one could even settle with using only source qi. Even with only source qi, one would still be able to cleanse one's blood and forge one's bones during the process. But that was naturally not the option Su Yu would pick.

"This is so troublesome."

Su Yu couldn't help but grumble. He also had to start working on his apertures. Even after opening 360 acupoints, he couldn't find the source soul acupoint. Thus, he had no choice but to place his hope on his apertures.

It was tfor him to increase his willpower cultivation. If his hammer could reach a level where it could stun even Cloudbreaches, he would be able to deal with Cloudbreaches more easily.

"Allheaven Battlefield..."

If he could purchase the blood essence he needed, he did not intend to go to the Allheaven Battlefield anytsoon. But if he couldn't buy what he needed, things could get slightly tricky.

"Let's focus on making money first. I'll try to buy the blood essence I want. I'll think of what to do when I fail to buy what I need."

He did not want to enter the Allheaven Battlefield yet. He wasn't scared, but it would be too troublesome. If he accidentally exposed his identity at the Allheaven Battlefield, the myriad races would be greatly pleased. He was hard to kill in the Human Realm, but that wouldn't be the case in the Allheaven Battlefield where they could send even Sunmoons or Invincibles after him.

***

News of what happened at the Source Soul Research Center couldn't be hidden.

Not long after Su Yu completed his 360 acupoints, rumors started spreading that he had advanced to the Skysoar Realm. Of course, nobody was sure if that was really the case yet.

In fact, nobody would be surprised if Su Yu was already a Skysoar. For them, it would be more shocking for him to not be a Skysoar. After all, he was someone who had killed Cloudbreaches before.

Rumors about Su Yu started spreading everywhere.

Allheaven Battlefield.

Inside a dilapited encampment. Bai Feng had just received a message. He was currently located at the outermost outpost of the eastern sector. Inside the dilapidated camp, Bai Feng stared at the jade talisman in his hand. A short while later, he ran outside and hollered, "Martial Uncle, where are you?"

Next, Liu Wenyan walked out of a nearby camp. His hair was messy and sinjuries could be seen on his body. He grumbled, "What?"

Bai Feng said, "I think we have been pardoned. But we still can't leave the Allheaven Battlefield. The difference is that we are no longer criminals."

Liu Wenyan asked in astonishment, "Is it the Xia Family?"

"I think..." Bai Feng grimaced and said, "It's my student. Senior Brother's message has finally arrived. He said that he sent us a few messages before, but none of them were able to reach us. According to him, Su Yu...has left."

"Left?"

Liu Wenyan asked blankly, "Where did he go?"

"Great Ming." Bai Feng said, "That kid plotted Jin Yuhui, Yu Hong, Sun Xiang, Tang Yunfei, and sother people to death. Almost all the Mountainseas involved in the warzone incident were dead because of him."

"..."

Liu Wenyan was stunned. Holy shit! Was that real? When Bai Feng handed the jade talisman over, Liu Wenyan took a look at the message. The look in his eyes instantly changed.

He looked at Bai Feng before looking at the jade talisman again. After a long while, he stroked his beard and said, "Not bad at all. Little Bai, do you think you're still his match now?"

"..."

Fuck!

Bai Feng cursed inwardly, but he insisted, "I definitely can! I am someone who has defeated Xia Yuwen. The kid is still quite lacking—"

"He killed Zhou Pingsheng."

"He relied on external power!"

Bai Feng countered stubbornly. That did not count! If they relied on their own strength, Su Yu wouldn't be his match!

Liu Wenyan laughed. Sure, sure. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Bai Feng. He said, "That kid has been getting too high-profile. This isn't a good thing for him. Even with Great Ming's protection, I still worry about him. I believe the Zhu Family can protect him against anyone else. But...you know about our true enemy..."

Their true enemy was the person who had attacked them with a few character clones during the warzone incident. Su Yu had been doing too well. Liu Wenyan was worried that Su Yu would catch the attention of that Invincible.

As for the likes of the Yuan and Zhou Families, he wasn't too worried about them. They wouldn't dare to openly send Invincibles after Su Yu. After all, Great Ming King was no pushover. He was not worried about the experts he could see. He was more afraid of the unknown Invincible. They still had no idea who that person was.

And at the moment, Great Ming King and the others weren't even in the Human Realm. If the enemy Invincible was still in the Human Realm, things could get dangerous. Even if that Invincible decided to send only sclones over, could Zhu Tiandao stop those clones? Probably, right? But if the Zhu Family learned that an Invincible wanted Su Yu's life, would they continue protecting him?

With a troubled look, Liu Wenyan said, "It hasn't even been that long. Why did this kid create such a big ruckus?"

It hadn't even been half a year. The kid was such a troublemaker. Bai Feng was also quite speechless. He had never imagined that his student would be so talented in troublemaking.

He clenched his teeth and said, "If we have no choice, we can get him to cto the Allheaven Battlefield. With Great Qin King here, that fellow won't dare to try anything."

Liu Wenyan shook his head, "I don't think that's a good idea. That kid is too good at creating trouble. And he's not the type to swallow his anger. And this place is too dangerous. That person might not dare to try anything, but the myriad races won't have any misgivings...and the battles have been rising in intensity as of late."

Bai Feng said nothing, but he was feeling rather gloomy. So he had been pardoned? But he didn't feel like returning anymore. Why? Because it would be too embarrassing.

That damn kid was too surprising. The kid had actually killed Zhou Pingsheng. Bai Feng was also a genius. He wouldn't be able to return and face the fact that he had been surpassed by his student.

Even his student was already a researcher while he was still an assistant researcher.
