Tribulation of Myriad Races

“Heh…”

Someone sneered. The same excuse again!

“Should we wait until you reach the Invincible Realm, then?”

“Sure!” Liu Wenyan smiled, “Why don’t you keep waiting? I am serious. I think I would only be able to materialize the character after reaching the Invincible Realm.”

“Bullshit! Liu Wenyan, back then, you were one of the heroes of your generation. But today, you are being completely shameless. Looks like you have not only crippled your cultivation 50 years ago, but you have crippled your sense of shame as well!”

Right after those words were said, a massive cauldron flew out. Tang Yunfei was already prepared for this. He stabbed forth with his sword. With a rumble, the cauldron was parried.

“Wu Yuehua…”

But before he could finish his words, his expression changed. His face turned dark. And his flesh started rotting away. He hurriedly activated a Divine Character and burned his clothes into nothingness. After doing that, black and green smoke started rising from his body. Abruptly, countless hiss rang out as one expert after another distanced themselves from him.

Wu Yuehua summoned her cauldron back and snorted. Those bastards must have forgotten that she was from the pillmaking faculty. Why were they wasting time wagging a war of words against her? She would just poison all of them to death.

In the darkness, Tang Yun’s face had turned completely dark. With a roar, a white light flickered on his body. Slowly, the darkness receded and his rotting flesh recovered. With a pale face, he gloomily said, “Liu Wenyan, is this your answer?”

Liu Wenyan helplessly said, “I really can’t materialize it. Why won’t you believe me? In that case, you can only kill me and try to peel it out of my sea of willpower. I can’t think of anything else.”

Liu Wenyan smiled, “How about this? Tell Zhou Mingren to forget about Ruoling. I’ll move Ruoling’s grave to Nanyuan. And I’ll remain in Nanyuan as well. When I can finally materialize the character, I’ll show it to all of you…”

Liu Wenyan sighed, “I have great respect toward those who had perished fighting alongside my teacher. I am willing to show my teacher’s character to the descendents of those heroes. But I am really telling the truth. I still can’t materialize it yet. I would have taken it out long ago otherwise. That way, I can avoid being targeted by that fellow from Great Zhou all the time…”

Liu Wenyan shrugged, “And you can only blame Great Xia King for this. He was the one who had returned with my teacher’s Divine Character back then and gave it to me directly. He even said that the character would break apart if I didn’t take it in immediately. I had no choice and could only absorb it into my sea of willpower. And now, the only way to take it out is to kill myself, but I don’t intend to die yet. This puts us in a predicament. But Great Xia King had seen the character before. Why don’t you guys ask him about it instead?”

“You…hmph!”

Tang Yunfei snorted unhappily. Asking the Great Xia King? Bullshit! This was definitely Liu Wenyan’s excuse to not show them the character!

At this time, He Ji asked doubtfully, “Tang Yunfei, I remember that back then, you and your senior brother had severed your relationship with each other. How are you still qualified to look at this character? Based on your logic, everyone is qualified to look at everyone’s character. Why don’t you show everyone your characters as well?”

Liu Wenyan waved his hand and chided, “Stop being rude, He Ji. Elder Tang is our senior. He is from the generation of our fathers and uncles. His relationship with Martial Uncle Cao is their personal affair. How can we say that he is unqualified to look at the character? He is definitely qualified. But Elder Tang, there is something I have been wanting to say for a long time. After the death of Martial Uncle Cao, how could you expel his juniors out of the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy? You had even taken many of his belongings by force instead of leaving them to his actual successors. This isn’t proper.”

Tang Yunfei coldly said, “You’re twisting the facts. In order to follow the fifth principal, my senior brother had offended some people. After his death, his juniors had looked for me to end the conflict. Thus, I gave all the belongings of my senior brother to those people to end the quarrel. How would you know the truth by listening to rumors?”

Liu Wenyan nodded with a smile, “I see. I misunderstood you. By the way, your principal, Jin Yuhui, wasn’t originally a member of the single character faction, right? Why are you guys claiming that your principal is one of the creators of the character fusion path? Also, why had the multiple character faction and character technique wall of your academy mysteriously disappeared?”

Tang Yunfei asked, “Is character fusion only unique to the multiple character faction?”

“That is actually the case!” Liu Wenyan smiled, “Fifty years ago, we were the only ones focusing on character fusion. Your single character faction had only learned about character fusion after my junior brother’s Wentan Research Center came out with their research result regarding character fusion. That was the thing that had helped your faction step onto the path of character fusion. That was the start of your so-called system. Are you going to deny all that?”

Tang Yunfei snorted disdainfully, “Was Hong Tan the only person researching the fusion of characters into a system?”

“So you’re really denying it?” Liu Wenyan said, “Forget it. It’s pointless to argue with a bunch of shameless scoundrels. Why is the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy insisting on getting involved in this? Do you think that the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy can become the number one academy in Great Xia after taking us down? How about you try defeating Wan Tiansheng first before dreaming about the top position?”

Liu Wenyan couldn’t be bothered to waste more time talking with Elder Tang and said, “If anyone else runs their mouth, just beat them to death. I’m here to spend some time with Ruoling while waiting for Zhou Mingren. What an asshole. Why is he doing something only animals would do at his age? Is he not afraid that he’ll get a deformed child as karma? By the way, does he have a child?”

“Nope.”

“Looks like the heavens have taken away his ability to breed.” Liu Wenyan sighed, “It’s fine for singles like us to not have children. But Zhou Mingren has a wife, right? This is definitely karma.”

“…”

Nobody said anything to that. Liu Wenyan was getting more and more shameless nowadays. Suddenly, a ruckus erupted not far away.

“What are you doing? Why are you stopping me? I’m here to visit my martial uncle! How can you stop me? Does this road belong to you? A good dog does not stand in the middle of the road. Piss off.”

Bai Feng’s furious voice rang out. He looked at the two people standing in front of him with fury and impatience as he said, “I’m telling you. Get out of my way. Even I am afraid of myself when I’m angry. Us cultural researchers are very reasonable. We should pay close attention to our image when doing something. I’m warning you. Don’t force me to forget about my image.”

There was a man and a woman blocking his way. One was a ninth-stage Skysoar while the other was a second-stage Cloudbreach. The two of them were looking at Bai Feng with unfriendly expressions.

“Bai Feng, this is not the place for you to mess around.” The man, who was the Cloudbreach, looked at Bai Feng coldly and said, “Are you sure you want to involve yourself? It is better to hide in the academy than to throw your life away here.”

Bai Feng blanked out slightly. He looked at the two and asked doubtfully, “Are you…intending to kill here?”

He looked around and asked in astonishment, “This is the Great Xia City. You’re actually trying to kill someone here?”

He roared, “Are the laws of Great Xia for decoration? Where are the people of the Xia Family? Are they all dead? You guys are going to ignore this? They just threatened to kill me!”

Not far away, someone coldly said, “Bai Feng, do you want the Martial Dragon Guards to fight for you? This place has been classified as a temporarity warzone. You guys can do as you wish. We are only here to enforce the new rules. For every square meter you damage, you’ll be fined 1,000 merit points. For every Skysoar you kill, you need to kill 10 enemy Skysoars on the battlefield.”

Yes. The rules were that simple. The Xia Family would not get involved in this conflict.

Bai Feng smiled, “That was a misunderstanding. I thought that the Xia Family had decided to let go of Great Xia. My apologies. I’ll watch my mouth next time. Don’t waste your energy being angry at me…”

When the people from the Martial Dragon Guards heard that, they were rendered speechless. Forget it. They couldn’t be bothered to deal with this shameless person. They would forgive him since this was his first time doing something like this.

Bai Feng straightened his clothes and put down the bag he was carrying on his back. Looking at the two, he softly said, “Let me through. I will accompany my martial uncle to death if he has to die. Is this acceptable? Stop blocking the way. Why are you doing this?”

The man ignored Bai Feng. Instead, he looked at the things Bai Feng left on the ground thoughtfully.

“Bai Feng, as your senior student, I’ll give you some advice. Go back to your research. Is this…”

He pointed at the bag on the ground. Were these the tools and data related to the Soul Devouring Art research? Or were these related to blood essence abilities? Why was Bai Feng here with these things?

Bai Feng asked cautiously, “What are you doing? Like I said, I’m here to stand by my martial uncle’s side. If I have to, I’ll accompany him to death. Are you guys trapping them here? What is the point of this? If too big of a ruckus is created, it would make all of us look bad. One of you is a Skysoar while the other is a Cloudbreach. You’re unimportant underlings. Why work so hard?”

The man ignored him and reached out for the bag directly.

Bai Feng was stunned, “You’re actually robbing me?”

He looked at the Martial Dragon Guards not far away and yelled, “Are even robberies allowed here now?”

The man successfully grabbed the bag. Since this place had been classified as a warzone, all those civilian laws were no longer applicable.

“You made the first move, not me!”

Bai Feng roared and a sword appeared out of nowhere before swinging down with an incredible speed. The man was already ready for a fight, so he snorted coldly before grabbing at the sword. His palm shone with a golden light as he sent a Divine Character into his arm. He easily caught the sword.

He was somewhat astonished. The sword felt quite weak. Bai Feng’s Dragon Slaying Sword had defeated even Hu Wensheng. Was it supposed to be so weak? While he was thinking, his junior sister suddenly shouted. Before the man could even react, a slim sword abruptly stabbed through his head.

Bai Feng casually caught the bag that was falling before looking at the woman who was rushing toward him. He smiled, “Senior Sister, don’t mess around. It has been a few years since I last killed anyone. This is especially true for women. Don’t be naughty.”

He then slung the bag over his back again and left, ignoring the woman. While leaving, he shouted, “Martial Uncle, Elder Wu, help! Someone is trying to kill me!”

“…”

Meanwhile, the nearby observers were completely stunned. Bai Feng had killed his opponent just like that? That was a Cloudbreach! How did he do it? How dare he do it? That was a Cloudbreach from the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy! Just like that, he was dead?

The Cloudbreach remained standing for quite a while before collapsing onto the ground.

Dead!

Not far away, Bai Feng continued shouting, “Help! They’re trying to kill me! It was self defense! You can’t blame me for that!”

However, Liu Wenyan and the others couldn’t be bothered to care about what he was shouting. They all looked solemn. What the fuck was that? Two Dragon Slaying Swords? One was caught while the other was used to easily kill the Cloudbreach.

“Two Dragon Slaying Swords?”

Liu Wenyan and company were not the only ones shocked. The surrounding experts were all shocked as well. Where did Bai Feng get his two Dragon Slaying Swords? Both looked authentic!

But the two swords were not exactly the same. One seemed to have fewer Divine Characters in it. What was going on? Both were the real deal? The only difference between the two was the strength. One was stronger and the other was weaker.
