Supreme Warrior in the City

Back at Qinghe Academy, the director finally awoke.

Su Yang didn’t hold back and told the director everything about his negotiation with the Heavenly Court and the Eight Realms.

When he heard that Su Yang wanted people from the Seven Realms to enter the Human World, the director was indeed a bit shocked. His thinking was the same as the third-generation Martial God, believing that doing so would render the countless efforts of the Human World’s ancestors useless.

However, after Su Yang explained his reasoning, the director fell into silence. After a long while, he sighed lightly, ”Perhaps we’ve really grown old, losing our drive, our courage to take risks. Su Yang, you are not wrong in what you did this time. No matter the result, Qinghe Academy will always support you!”

Listening to the director’s words, Su Yang felt a warmth in his heart. In fact, what he was doing this time was truly risky. By doing so, it’s like placing the Human World to survive in the cracks of the Eight Realms. A slight misstep could lead the Human World into a disastrous situation.

Even the third-generation Martial God wasn’t very optimistic about such a scenario. However, the director supported Su Yang without hesitation, and just this point alone was enough to make Su Yang deeply grateful.

”Director, don’t worry. I have said before that I will adhere to my father’s will!” Su Yang said sternly, ”This time, I entered the Feather Spirit Palace not only gaining these harvests but also learning a lot. Even if the Eight Realms really enter the Feather Spirit Palace, they may not necessarily get any benefits. However, I have a method to quickly enhance the strength of the Human World. So, for the Human World, this is genuinely an opportunity. If only we can buy more time within the balance of the Eight Realms, maybe we can hold an equal position with them!”

The director looked at Su Yang and did not ask what Su Yang had learned or what method he had. He just nodded and said, ”Whatever you need us to do, just say it. If we old bones can see the Human World prosper before we are laid to rest, it will be worth dying!”

Seeing the director’s aged appearance, Su Yang felt a deep sigh in his heart.

Actually, the fact that the director could establish Qinghe Academy and still lead the Human Clan forward against the encirclement of the Eight Realms speaks volumes about his strong capabilities.

However, the director’s capability, compared to others, fell short by quite a margin.

Needless to say, even his juniors had already surpassed him in strength. The Heavenly Court Master, for example, had superior capabilities above the director.

This situation did not arise from the director being of lesser talent. In fact, his talent was second to none. Su Yang had previously heard the third-generation Martial God say that the director could stand on equal footing with the first-generation Martial God; their powers were not much different. At that time, the director was much younger than the first-generation Martial God. This means the director had reached the apex of his power at a very young age.

But with years gone by, the director’s strength has not grown but receded, which left Su Yang very curious.

Later, after hearing the third-generation Martial God’s explanation, Su Yang finally understood the reason.

The director was once very talented and strong. However, over the years, as he led Qinghe Academy and opposed the Eight Realms, he participated in countless wars and suffered numerous injuries.

These injuries were inflicted by extremely formidable experts, and common elixir pills were simply incapable of healing them. As years went by, undisclosed old wounds and hidden ailments accumulated, leading to a gradual decrease in strength due to these injuries.

Otherwise, given the director’s talent, he would have long become a well-known figure in the Nine Realms. Although he may not reach the level of the strongest Saint, he certainly would have been able to dominate any realm he resided in.

But now, the director’s body had deteriorated to this state. After being injured again this time, his physical condition saw another decline, making him seem older and more raven-like, a sight that pierced the heart with coldness.

Sighing, Su Yang said, ”Director, rest assured, I will definitely find a way to heal your hidden ailments; you won’t have any problems!”

”They’re just some old wounds, nothing serious. Don’t worry about me!” the director replied with a grin, ”The key is the Human World. The lives of all beings lie in our hands; a single misstep, and it spells catastrophe. Su Yang, don’t mind us old folks; everything must prioritize the well-being of all beings!”

Even at such a juncture, the director’s heart still cared for all beings, which was the main reason people respected him.

”I understand!” Su Yang nodded vigorously, yet in his heart, he was pondering how to treat the director’s hidden ailments and old injuries.

Su Yang couldn’t help but recall the Spirit Liquid Lake in the Feather Spirit Palace. The spiritual liquid in that lake was very pure. If the director could soak in that lake for a while, these hidden ailments and old injuries might heal.

However, who knows when the Feather Spirit Palace would open again, and taking the director in seemed quite unrealistic. Or even if he could indeed take him into the Feather Spirit Palace, with the director’s temperament, could he then relax in the Spirit Liquid Lake for healing without worrying? No doubt, the director would want to explore the Feather Spirit Palace and work for the enhancement of the Human World’s power.

Su Yang did bring out some spiritual liquid from the Feather Spirit Palace, but since it was a source-less spiritual liquid, its effectiveness would definitely not compare to the Spirit Liquid Lake within the Feather Spirit Palace.

Another Spirit Liquid Lake exists, which is the one in the valley of the World Melting Furnace.

However, Su Yang could not let the director enter this Spirit Liquid Lake because to enter it, they would have to go into the valley. Once inside, they would be sealed, unable to come out.

There are also many demon beasts within the valley, extremely terrifying ones that would attack people.

When Su Yang entered before, it was his illusion that startled these demon beasts, allowing him to leave unharmed.

But if the director were to enter, it would be extremely dangerous, as these demon beasts wouldn’t fear him, and Su Yang couldn’t stay by his side all the time.

Moreover, the other end of this Spirit Liquid Lake connects to Storm Valley. If the director got swept into Storm Valley, he wouldn’t survive like Su Yang did; entering Storm Valley would mean certain death. Therefore, Su Yang immediately ruled out this option!

After contemplating for a while, Su Yang suddenly remembered something, his eyes instantly brightening. Without a word, he rushed to the World Melting Furnace to find the three crystal skeletons lying inside watching animation!
