Tribulation of Myriad Races

“Teacher!”

At Nanyuan, Liu Wenyan was surprised to hear Su Yu’s voice. He asked, “Su Yu, did you encounter some trouble?”

“Not at all. I’m doing very well in the academy.” While leaving the room, Su Yu laughed and said, “Teacher, Teacher Bai and Martial Uncle Chen are both treating me well. I’m already at the Great Strength Realm. I even used the mountainbreak bull blood essence for my body forging. I have also reached the Mental Tempering Stage. I even have a pseudo profound cultural weapon now…”

Liu Wenyan was stunned. The kid was doing so well? Since when was life so good for the multiple character faction? Hadn’t Bai Feng told him not long ago that things were very difficult for them? Had that kid lied to him?

“Are you telling the truth?”

“Yes!” Su Yu said with a joyous tone. “I still have a lot of good stuff. By the way, I already formed four Divine Characters. I also have a Mountainsea Skybreak Technique willpower text. I’m on the verge of reaching the sixth-stage Great Strength Realm. I have even visited the grotto multiple times…”

Liu Wenyan rubbed his temple. Once again, he was stunned. Was he hearing things? Was that really the life of a multiple character faction member? The brat had only been there for slightly over a month. Just like that, he was already a fifth-stage Great Strength and Mental Tempering Stage cultivator?

Cultural weapon, willpower text, cultivation method, grotto…Liu Wenyan had the urge to scold someone. But he knew that Su Yu would not lie to him. Thus, Bai Feng must be the liar!

“Damn him! What a bastard!”

Liu Wenyan cursed Bai Feng inwardly. Did Bai Feng think that he was a good target to scam because he wasn’t in the academy anymore?

If even Su Yu was doing so well, how good was Bai Feng’s life? How dare he pretend to be poor! He had even claimed that he couldn’t even afford food anymore. That was why Liu Wenyan had asked for help on behalf of the multiple character faction.

Bastard! He wouldn’t spare Bai Feng! After cursing at Bai Feng inwardly, Liu Wenyan spoke with a happy tone, “You’re growing very quickly. Well done! But remember to not get too arrogant. If you have time, think about that fellow from Great Zhou who was able to reach the Skysoar Realm in half a year. Give yourself some pressure. Don’t get complacent.”

Su Yu replied, “Don’t worry. I won’t. I know myself. Disregarding those seniors, even my batch has a lot of experts. Yesterday, I fought a new student. And I lose. There are even stronger students in our class. I’m not even the strongest in my class.”

“There are people stronger than you in class?”

Liu Wenyan was astonished. Fourth-stage Great Strength Realm, four Divine Characters, Mental Tempering Stage, Skybreak Technique willpower text, a good cultural weapon…

In truth, he believed that Su Yu was probably already comparable to him when he was at that age. And yet there were stronger individuals among the new students? Su Yu had just suffered a defeat yesterday and there were other stronger students in class?

What manner of a class was that? A veteran senior class?

“Yeah,” Su Yu replied with a laugh. “But I believe that I can catch up to them soon.”

At that point, he remembered the purpose of his call so he said, “Teacher, you need to forge your body after reaching the Skysoar Realm, right? I remember that your body is still stuck at the Infinite Strength Realm. I am doing quite well now and I have quite a lot of good stuff on me. Do you need some divine or devil blood essence?”

“…”

Liu Wenyan was dumbfounded. Was this kid…a rich man now? Divine or devil blood essence at the Skysoar Realm would cost at least 1,000 merit points per drop. Could the kid even afford something this expensive?

“Teacher…”

That brought Liu Wenyan out of his stupor. He was shocked, but at the same time, his feelings were complicated as well. After a while, he smiled and said, “It’s fine. Keep your money for yourself. Your teacher is already at this age. I don’t need stuff like that.”

With a melancholic tone, he said, “You…are very good. Su Yu, cultivate hard, master your character technique, and become an expert…” After nagging on Su Yu for a bit and refusing his offer again, Liu Wenyan ended the call.

He stood there in silence for a long while before shaking his head with a smile. He sighed.

“This is quite a loyal kid…”

He shut his eyes and sank into thought. In his sea of willpower, countless dots of light flickered. A terrifyingly large number of Divine Characters could be seen. They all orbited a certain dot of light. These characters were slowly being pulled over, compressed, and frozen in place…

“Can I…really complete this?”

He muttered before letting out another sigh.

Fifty years had passed. Mending, forming, and nurturing. That was all he had done all these years. If he did not see a result soon, he might not live long enough to see the result.

“Su Yu…”

Liu Wenyan had made a decision a short while ago, but he was starting to waver again. Su Yu was doing very well. He was also growing very fast. Liu Wenyan had initially thought that these characters would be an opportunity for that student of his. But after witnessing his student’s growth, these characters might act as obstacles instead.

If he gave these characters to Su Yu and Su Yu failed as well, history would repeat itself. Like Liu Wenyan, Su Yu would transform from a genius to garbage.

“If he has mediocre talent and is doing badly, giving these to him might be helpful on the premise that he also has a good heart. But now…”

Again, Liu Wenyan sighed. It was better to not let the same tragedy he had experienced repeat itself on Su Yu. He could only do so if he was sure that he could complete it in a short period of time. At that thought, he collected himself and called a number.

After a short wait, someone answered.

“So are you begging me again?”

Liu Wenyan’s eyes widened in anger as he said, “Who’s begging you? I never begged you! Like I said, that bastard Bai Feng was the one begging. I told you to not help, but you insisted on helping. Are you stupid? Why didn’t you beat him to death instead? If you can’t even beat him to death, I’ll have no choice but to look down on you!”

He then ended the call before tossing the communicator aside.

He spent more time scolding Bai Feng for daring to lie to him. Since Su Yu was living such a good life, as the teacher, Bai Feng was definitely living a better life. And that bastard actually dared to lie to him!

What a bastard! Yes, that bastard needed to be taught a lesson!

…

At the same time, somewhere in the Heart Cultivating Pavilion, Wu Yuehua put down her communicator furiously.

Very good.

Liu Wenyan actually dared to scold her.

“Scoundrel! Do you think I will endure your stupid temper every single time? Are you deliberately provoking me? You think you can get me to help Bai Feng by doing this? Dream on! You want me to beat him up, right? Fine! I’ll fulfill your wish!”

She was furious. Liu Wenyan was pushing it too far. He actually dared to talk to her like that. How could she tolerate that? She cared about her face a lot as well! Why scold her all the time?

Her willpower swept out, surprising the other inhabitants of the Heart Cultivating Pavilion. Next, she vanished into thin air.

Under the observation of a few curious elders, Bai Feng, who had just left a grotto joyously, fainted before he could take his first step outside.

The people nearby were all stunned. What happened? They didn’t even see what happened.

Next, someone exclaimed in shock, “That’s Bai Feng! What is this? Is his health so poor that he fainted while walking?”

“…”

That question left the rest of the crowd speechless. He was a seventh-stage Skysoar. How would he faint without reason?

“Is he suffering from cultivation deviation?”

“Someone contact an expert! Don’t move him around lest he explode!”

“Sigh. Is it because of pressure? Yeah, Bai Feng is quite pitiful. Without Elder Hong around, the pressure on him is too heavy. He fainted right after coming out of seclusion. Sigh…”

The sigh was filled with sympathy.

A seventh-stage Skysoar had fainted for no reason. Was something wrong with his cultivation? How pitiful. Before long, news of Bai Feng’s fainting started spreading.

“Bai Feng fainted after leaving seclusion! I heard that he has suffered from cultivation deviation!”

“Bai Feng couldn’t withstand the heavy pressure on him and self-detonated!”

“Bai Feng is dead?”

“Heavens! Assistant Bai Feng self-detonated!”

Su Yu, who was on his way to meet Xia Huyou to talk about his next purchase, heard the rumors. His face changed as he immediately rushed toward the Grotto District. His teacher was dead! Impossible!

“Self-detonated while cultivating…”

While running, he kept hearing rumors about his teacher.

“I heard that’s not a natural death. The single character faction had ambushed him and beaten him to death.”

“Sigh. What a pity. He must have known this day would come after defeating Hu Wensheng.”

“Poor guy.”

Su Yu’s eyes were turning red from fury. The single character faction had actually killed his teacher! This was not a grudge that he would let go! His willpower boiled while his kill character shook. The character started rising to the peak of its strength.

Su Yu had never felt so much anger and hatred before. They deserved death! They should all die! Those people actually dared to kill his teacher inside the academy? From afar, he saw a crowd gathered around a certain spot. He roared, “Get out of the way!” His killing intent surged.

Rumbles echoed within his sea of willpower. The kill character continued shaking while it grew in size. Suddenly, the rumbling reached crescendo as his vision blurred and his eyes turned red.

Although his teacher wasn’t very reliable, but a teacher was akin to a father. Thus, he had to avenge his teacher!

Meanwhile, the crowd was stunned. Who was this? What was going on? This fellow wasn’t very strong, but his killing intent was incredible.

A few of them saw a burst of red light that vanished as soon as it appeared. Someone exclaimed in shock, “Second tier Divine Character…”

“A character related to killing intent!”

Just what was going on?

Why did this student’s Divine Character advance to the second tier out of nowhere? So many odd things were happening in the academy today.

At the same time, Bai Feng rubbed his head and sat up. First, he was surprised to see the crowd around him. Next, he realized that he had been ambushed! He had fainted from the ambush!

He was just about to start cussing when his jaw dropped in shock. What was going on? Why was Su Yu’s killing intent so thick? What was going on? His…kill character seemed to have advanced to the second tier?

Hadn’t the kid say that the blood character was the one that was going to break through? Had he sensed wrongly?

In his confused state, Bai Feng forgot about the ambush on him. He was unharmed anyway. Perhaps it was just a bored geezer who decided to give him a punch because the geezer didn’t like how he looked. It was no big deal. There was nothing he could do to someone so strong anyway.

He was more concerned about Su Yu’s change. He hurriedly stood up and dragged Su Yu back to the research center. What was happening?

Why was the kid here? And why had his Divine Character broken through? This was so weird.
