Tribulation of Myriad Races

Outside the capital city.

Su Yu was still cautiously sticking close to Xia Huyou.

At this point, Xia Huyou really didn’t know what else he could say about how cautious Su Yu was anymore. While running, he said, “Too many experts have shown up today. Nobody will dare to make a move against you today. I am confident enough to bet my surname on that. If I’m wrong, I’ll follow the surname of the attacker.”

While speaking, he rolled his eyes. Would anyone dare to try anything today? The Blood Fire Sect’s sect master was probably only here to enjoy the show. But he ended up killed. Of course, Xia Huyou himself was unclear if that was really the truth.

The Blood Fire Sect was filled with fools And their leader was a warlike person. Apart from a small number of members, most of their members were brutes. Thus, it was very possible that their sect master had really come over to enjoy the show. Who would have expected that Xia Longwu would cut that sect master down with one hit?

Even a Sunmoon had perished today. Who would still dare to risk doing anything today? Numerous Mountainseas and a decent number of Sunmoons had shown themselves tonight. Who would dare to create trouble in such an environment? But Su Yu did not care. He was not going to let go of his human shield.

Xia Huyou was completely speechless. He gave up and continued running while sending his willpower into a jade talisman. After a while, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “Holy shit! It’s real!”

He looked at Su Yu, “Did the fifth principal leave this behind?”

“Guess.”

“Fortuitous encounter? You just got it? I never heard of Bai Feng knowing something like this.”

Xia Huyou said, “It can even open 36 apertures. Why are you so generous today?”

This was a treasure!

Su Yu smiled, “We are brothers. We should share everything. Your dad is my…adopted dad. Your grandpa is my adopted grandpa. And your second granduncle is my adopted second granduncle.”

“…”

Xia Huyou was completely speechless. This bastard had definitely discovered his identity. Just listen to the words coming out of this fellow’s mouth!

“Do you want my wife as well?”

“Absolutely not!”

“Oh, good.” While running, Xia Huyou said, “I have a question. Why is this manual only showing 35 apertures? Where are the instructions for the final aperture? Without the final aperture, I don’t think these apertures can be joined into a system.”

“Your dad is still not my adopted dad yet. When he becomes my adopted dad for real, I’ll give you the instructions for the final aperture.”

“…”

Xia Huyou felt like cursing. Forget it. He would settle with 35 apertures for now. He was going to take some time opening them anyway. He would think about this again after opening all of them.

But without linking the apertures into a system, the effects of these 35 apertures would be greatly weakened. They might not even be as useful as his existing cultural art with 18 apertures.

Finally, Xia Huyou started detecting waves of dense source qi ahead of him. He said, “Don’t reveal my identity to outsiders! That can get me killed easily!”

“Don’t worry. You’re my brother. Will I harm my brother?”

Xia Huyou was getting tired of speaking with Su Yu. He felt like he should perhaps consider maintaining some distance with this fellow. This guy was way too good at taking every single advantage he could find.

Out of nowhere, his dad had turned into this fellow’s adopted dad. That was the prefect of Great Xia, an expert on the cusp of entering the Invincible Realm. He actually dared to call someone like that his adopted dad?

The two chatted while running. Finally, they arrived. But someone was already there before them. Su Yu blanked out in surprise.

Not far away, Liu Hong grinned before flashing them a genial smile, “Su Yu is here. Student Xia Huyou is here as well? Come on. Let’s cultivate together. A Sunmoon has perished to grant us this blessing. This is a very rare gift.”

“Holy shit!”

Su Yu really didn’t know what he should say about Liu Hong. This fellow was actually the first to arrive the moment there were some benefits to be gained.

“Teacher Liu, why hadn’t you gone over there?”

While asking, Su Yu sat down cross-legged and started absorbing the willpower and source qi in the air. The air was thick with energy. This felt even better than the Source Qi Secret Grotto, and the source qi here also felt purer. Time to open some acupoints and apertures!

Liu Hong smiled, “That place was filled with experts. A little shrimp like me won’t make any difference there. That is a conflict between people of their generation. It really has nothing much to do with us.”

At this time, more people arrived. Lin Yao and Yang Sha.

The moment they reached, they asked in excitement, “Teacher, will my cultivation speed increase if I cultivate here?”

A warm smile appeared on Liu Hong’s face as he said, “Of course. I came earlier to check this place for dangers. The moment I was sure this place was safe, I notified the two of you. Cultivate well. Don’t waste this opportunity.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

The two were incredibly excited. When Lin Yao saw Su Yu, he revealed a smile. But when his gaze landed on Xia Huyou, the smile vanished. That was an outsider! He couldn’t expose his relationship with Su Yu!

Liu Hong was able to see all that and could only curse inwardly. He could no longer be bothered about his student’s relationship with Su Yu. He returned his focus to absorbing the willpower in the air. He didn’t care too much for source qi. Instead, he cared a lot more about willpower. The willpower leaking out of a dead Sunmoon was extremely pure.

As for Lin Yao and Yang Sha, well, they should be happy with absorbing a little bit of source qi. They probably wouldn’t be able to get much of the willpower. They could consider this a sort of nourishment for their sea of willpower since they didn’t have any soul apertures they could use to absorb willpower.

Gradually, more and more people arrived.

Wan Mingze, Hu Qiusheng, Zhao Shiji

Under the lead of their elders, these genius students arrived one after another.

Apart from them, the other students were also starting to arrive. In fact, there were not only students in the area.

But these outsiders did not dare to go deep into the area and only stayed at the outskirts. A Sunmoon had perished here today. They had no idea what had happened and wouldn’t dare to rashly enter this place. If it wasn’t for the fact that the students of the academies had all entered the place, they wouldn’t even dare to approach this place.

Su Yu silently absorbed the willpower in an inconspicuous manner. A Sunmoon had perished here. The willpower in the air was dense enough that as long as he was careful, nobody would notice him.

Suddenly, someone called out behind him in joy, “Yu!”

Su Yu recognized that voice. When he turned around, sure enough, it was Chen Hao. Su Yu was very surprised. Why was Chen Hao here? This wasn’t a place just anyone could come. In fact, the Martial Dragon Guards had already arrived to set up a perimeter around the area.

Apart from people like Su Yu who had arrived early, most of the other students had only arrived under the lead of some experts. How did Chen Hao manage to enter this place? When Su Yu gave Chen Hao another look, he was even more surprised. This fellow had reached the Great Strength Realm!

First-stage Great Strength Realm!

Sure, that wasn’t too high a cultivation level, but this cultivation speed was still quite astonishing. Not long had passed since the two of them had arrived at the capital. Only after exhausting countless resources did Su Yu manage to reach the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm. And this fellow had actually managed to reach the first-stage Great Strength Realm.

Chen Hao did not have that many thoughts in his mind. He was about to run over in excitement when he recalled something. He hurriedly calmed down and nonchalantly walked over before sitting down. While absorbing source qi, he whispered, “Yu, will this level of interaction between us be fine?”

He still remembered that his father had reminded him many times to not stick too close to Su Yu. Su Yu was speechless.

“It’s fine. This is a normal interaction between fellow students. What’s so weird about having a conversation when seeing each other?”

He ignored Xia Huyou’s curious gaze and asked, “Who brought you here?”

“Teacher Xie!” Chen Hao softly said, “Teacher Xie has some connections among the Martial Dragon Guards so we were allowed to enter. Yu, did you sneak in as well?”

Sneaking in? Xia Huyou looked at that fellow with an odd gaze. Did Su Yu even need to sneak? The multiple character faction was the main reason for everything that had happened today. Even if Su Yu came alone, the Martial Dragon Guards would not stop him from entering.

“Teacher Xie?”

Su Yu was quite surprised. When he looked at the perimeter, he saw Teacher Xie chatting with some of the Martial Dragon Guards there. He was quite surprised, but he said nothing.

He casually tossed a jade talisman to Chen Hao. When Chen Hao picked the talisman up, Su Yu softly said, “This is a sound talisman. We can use this to converse everywhere within the capital city.”

“Oh.”

Chen Hao hurriedly put that away. But he was curious why they would need this when they could call each other with communicators. He concluded that cultural researchers were simply a weird bunch. Because of that, his childhood friend Yu had also been turned into a weird person.

“What cultivation method are you cultivating?”

“War God Art.”

“Which version?”

“What?”

“How many acupoints?” Su Yu was somewhat speechless. The answer was already clear. This fellow probably cultivated the basic version with 72 acupoints.

Sure enough, Chen Hao answered, “It’s incredible! It has 72 acupoints!”

Incredible his ass!

“What blood essence did you use to forge your body?”

“I have yet to forge my body…”

One could forge one’s body at any time as long as one was still in the Great Strength Realm. For example, Chen Qi had only prepared for his body forging after reaching the seventh stage. There was no rush.

After thinking about it, Su Yu gestured to his friend to use the talisman. Chen Hao merely held it in hand. He didn’t know how to use it.

Su Yu felt a headache coming. He said, “Willpower…scratch that. Activate it with your source qi.”

Chen Hao did not have any willpower. No, that wasn’t completely accurate. Willpower was something everyone possessed, but for most people, their willpower was too weak for them to detect.

“Ok…”

Curious, Chen Hao did as told. A short while later, his jaw dropped. Incredible! He could read some messages through the talisman!

“Just focus on cultivating first. When you have some time, come look for me. Stay low key. I’ll help you forge your body.”

What was the best location for body forging? The Source Qi Secret Grotto! And what was the best blood essence for body forging? Mountainbreak bull blood essence!
