Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1115: I’m Very Scared (1)

Outside.

Bai Feng scolded, “What are you doing staring here? Get in!”

Su Yu nodded and said nothing.

He followed Bai Feng into the academy without going through any inspection. The academy seemed to have gotten lax with security as of late. In the past, any visitor would need to go through an inspection before entering.

But that did not happen this time. He was unsure if it was because Bai Feng’s status had increased or if the entire academy was slacking. After reaching the academy, Wu Yuehua no longer stayed with them.

Su Yu was left with Bai Feng. As dawn had just arrived, the streets were quite empty. However, some students could still be seen. These were the students who had gotten out of bed early to study. No matter what, there would still be some people who were in the academy to truly study and research.

Su Yu glanced at them and did not pay much attention to them.

As for Bai Feng, he completely ignored his surroundings. While walking, he said, “I’ll let you stay in the Mental Tempering Garden. Three days later, leave.”

“No. I want to stay in the research center.”

“Nonsense!” Bai Feng scolded, “Is the research center a place you can enter?”

“Su Yu stayed there before.”

“He told you even something like this?” Bai Feng rolled his eyes, “He’s a student of the multiple character faction. You’re not.”

“In that case, I’ll join the multiple character faction.”

“Are you courting death?” Bai Feng glared coldly and said, “If you keep causing trouble, I won’t hold back anymore.”

Su Yu curled his lips, “Forget it.”

What a terrible temper. He only wanted to take a look at the research center. Why so angry?

“I want to visit Faculty Head Hong.”

“He’s too busy to entertain you. Who are you? Are you qualified to meet him?” Bai Feng said, “Do you think being one of the Eight Eminents makes you qualified to meet him? What a joke. Any random person in this academy is strong enough to wipe the floor with you. Forget Skysoars. even the Infinite Strength students can defeat you.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Sure. I’ll get someone to compare notes with you later. That guy is a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator. Let’s see if he can beat you to death.”

“Zhou Hao?”

“Hmm?” Bai Feng blanked out, “You know him?”

“I heard of him before. Ninth-stage Infinite Strength? Isn’t he a Skysoar already?”

Bai Feng frowned. Something seemed to have changed about this cousin of his after reaching the academy. But he couldn’t really see what was wrong here. Hearing the question, he said, “No. He tried to follow my student’s path and open a few hundred acupoints. Because of that, he has been stuck at the ninth stage.”

Su Yu nodded. Zhou Hao was an ambitious one.

One name after another emerged in his memory as he returned to this place. In truth, it hadn’t even been that long. Not even a full year had passed since his departure from Great Xia. He left end of last year while October had only arrived. But he felt as though he had been separated from some people for a very long time.

The wild Zhou Hao, the idealistic Wan Mingze…

Su Yu recalled that he last heard about Wan Mingze a long time ago. Back then, he had just left the Hundred Dao Pagoda and learned of Wan Mingze’s latest updates from Wu Lan. He was told that Wan Mingze had left as well.

Wan Mingze had founded the so-called united youth army and left with a large number of people. Among the previous top 100 students, people like Jiang Mu, Zhan Hai, and a student of Hu Wensheng called Guo Shengquan had joined him.

Surprisingly, Hu Qiusheng, someone who had been quite close to Wan Mingze, had remained.

Apart from those names, Old Zheng’s grandson, Zheng Yunhui, Marquis Xia’s granddaughter, Xia Chan, and the mysterious fatty called Jia Mingzhen were among the names Su Yu recalled after returning.

During his previous return, he was much less melancholic. At the time, he was back for Chen Yong’s matter. He wasn’t given the time to dwell on his thoughts.

This time, he was able to freely think about his past. All those people seemed so far away from him now. It felt as though he had been away for a very long time. But in truth, it hadn’t been that long.

“Cousin, how’s Wan Mingze doing lately?” Su Yu asked.

Bai Feng was surprised, “No way. You actually know what’s happening outside of your immediate surroundings? Wan Mingze…is a decent kid. His united youth army has grown considerably. He has gathered about a hundred people from the younger generation. Lately, they have been tempering themselves in the major seas. Before long, they will step into the Allheaven Battlefield.”

Over a hundred members? That wasn’t that big of a number. The goal of this united youth army…sounded like something only someone with a second-grade syndrome could come up with. But he also had to admit that this was a very idealistic group of people. They were fighting for the peace of humanity. They fought for the unity of humanity.

Back then, Xia Huyou had remarked that Wan Mingze would either end up a hypocrite or a saint. Su Yu did not really care too much about that, but he agreed that Wan Mingze’s ambition was worth respecting.

Even if everything was fake, he was doing a very good job at giving himself a grand image. It was quite impressive how Wan Mingze had been able to gather about a hundred people relying on nothing but a dream.

Su Yu even wondered if that fellow was backed by an Invincible. Perhaps Wan Mingze was the student of an Invincible as well.

“How are they doing?”

“They’ve demonstrated remarkable strength.” Bai Feng praised, “That’s a group of youth with good prospects and lofty goals. They are much better than us. We have our ambitions as well, but we have never been able to do anything about our ambitions. Meanwhile, they are already starting to work toward their goal. Wan Mingze and the others are already Skysoars. They have built themselves a decent reputation at the sea regions through their battles.”

Bai Feng’s expression turned complicated as he said, “Speaking of, the youth from this generation are all pretty good.”

His face turned stern as he said, “You need to learn more from them!”

“I know.”

Bai Feng did not say anything about the reply. Know his ass. If his cousin really knew that, his cousin wouldn’t be here.

While heading toward the Mental Tempering Garden, Bai Feng said, “Stay here for now. If you need anything, you can look for me at Wentan Research Center. I’ll look for a stronger merchant convoy heading to Great Ming soon and arrange for you to join them.”

Su Yu said nothing. After walking in silence for a bit, he abruptly demanded, “I want to stay in an independent villa.”

“No money.”

“I’ll pay myself.”

“Sure.”

Su Yu was in no rush to reveal his identity. That might not necessarily be a good thing. He wanted to see someone else first. In fact, he had been feeling a certain gaze on him the moment he stepped into the academy. That was a very unique sensation. Someone in the Heart Cultivating Pavilion was observing his every action. Thus, he needed to see that person before doing anything else.

Shortly after, he received his accommodation. As requested, it was an independent villa, but he needed to pay himself. But nowadays, money was no longer something Su Yu cared about. He lacked a lot of things, but money was not one of them.

Source qi liquid? He had buckets of them. Yes. He was so rich he was no longer measuring source qi liquid in drops, but buckets instead. Bai Feng did not linger around and left after arranging the accommodation for his cousin. He was a very busy man. If it wasn’t for this useless cousin of his, he would still be in seclusion.

***

Bai Feng left.

Su Yu did not stay in his villa. Rather, he walked out and started wandering around the academy. Things had changed. There were a lot more experts in the academy. When he first entered the academy, there were forty-two elders. Thirty-six were Mountainseas and six were Cloudbreaches. Subsequently, a few of them died.

The single character faction had lost elders like Yu Hong and Sun Xiang. Some of their elders had entered seclusion while some had gone to the Allheaven Battlefield. In truth, they academy should have roughly thirty Mountainseas left as of now. Even that was enough to make the academy a considerably powerful force.

But as Su Yu wandered, his Perception Jade detected numerous powerful dots of light. That was especially true for the Foreign Student Faculty. There were over thirty Mountainseas in that faculty alone. He even detected six Sunmoons.

It was expected that the myriad race students would come with their dao protectors. But Su Yu had never expected to see so many Mountainseas and Sunmoons among them. Could the academy handle them?

And that was not all. When he arrived near a newly constructed compound, he discovered yet another group of experts. There were dozens of Mountainseas and about seven or eight Sunmoons in this compound.

In this single academy, more than ten Sunmoons had gathered. Were these the dao protectors of the new students recruited into the Multiple Character Faculty? Holding that question inwardly, Su Yu continued his stroll.

That was already comparable in strength with some minor races. With his Perception Jade, Su Yu was tempted to go near the Heart Cultivating Pavilion as well. He was curious about Principal Wan’s true strength. Before long, he arrived near the Heart Cultivating Pavilion. He stopped about a kilometer away from the pavilion.

Su Yu sank into silence.

The Perception Jade…failed to sense anyone.

Yes. Not a single dot of light could be seen on it.

Or to be precise, there was no dot of light on the area Wan Tiansheng was staying at.

This Perception Jade was forged by Zhao Tianbing before being upgraded. Two powerful earth weaponsmiths had worked on it. Even late-stage Sunmoons from the divine and devil races could be detected. But it had failed when attempting to detect Wan Tiansheng.

Su Yu inhaled deeply. Was the principal using a unique method to avoid detection or was there a different reason for this? He looked up at the building. There were thirty-six floors, with Wan Tiansheng staying on the thirty-fifth floor. As for the empty top floor, there were two different stories about it. The first story said that Wan Tiansheng was keeping the place empty since Ye Batian used to reside there.

The second story said that one day, a massive explosion had erupted there. Since then, Wan Tiansheng had been staying on the thirty-fifth floor. But that was not important.

More importantly, the moment Su Yu looked at the building, he suddenly stepped back in alarm. A pair of dark eyes could be seen on the thirty-fifth floor. That pair of eyes was looking straight at him.

Holy shit!

Su Yu cursed inwardly. Why was that fellow scaring him in broad daylight?

That was akin to a scene out of a horror story. It was too creepy. Su Yu had thought that he was here to take a peek at someone else, but suddenly, he found that someone was already watching him in advance. His shock was understandable. He hurriedly looked down and swallowed.

He was already very strong. But when he met that gaze, he still couldn’t stop feeling alarmed. Was that Principal Wan? This was too terrifying. Just how strong was Principal Wan?

While Su Yu was deep in thought, a voice rang out beside his ears, “Come on in. Have a seat.”

Su Yu’s heart thumped. Indeed. He had failed to hide from that man. And he was certain the gap in their strengths was not the reason for him to be detected immediately. Even Great Ming King was not able to instantly see through his disguise.

A certain possibility emerged in Su Yu’s mind. He looked up again. But that pair of eyes was already gone.

In truth, Su Yu didn’t know Wan Tiansheng too well. That principal was simply too enigmatic a person. He had only met the principal once before.

Inhaling deeply, he started walking in the Heart Cultivating Pavilion’s direction. He was walking normally, but as he walked, his figure seemed to have vanished. There were guards standing in front of the Heart Cultivating Pavilion. But none of them noticed Su Yu walking past them.
