Tribulation of Myriad Races

Wentan Research Center.

As usual, Hong Tan and Bai Feng were extremely busy.

Wu Jia was nearby as well. She did not disturb them. She only focused on keeping the place tidy and clean for them. Worry constantly covered her face. Her teacher had been missing for a while. He might still be alive, but he would be declared a traitor soon.

After she left the room, Hong Tan looked at her departing back and sighed.

Bai Feng looked up as well. He helplessly said, "Senior Brother sure is determined. He can cut contact with everyone else, but he should try to contact us, right?"

After a slight pause, he continued, "My pitiful student is still waiting for death right this moment. Otherwise, it might be a good idea for us to play matchmaker for him and Jia."

"You..." Hong Tan was rendered slightly speechless. He said, "Stop wasting your time thinking about these useless matters. Work on completing the Mountainsea disassembly method. For now, it only works up until the ninth-stage Cloudbreach Realm. What are you even doing? This won't be too useful. It will only be truly impactful when it works for Mountainseas and Sunmoons as well."

Bai Feng said, "I still lack test subjects. Like I told you previously, you're a Sunmoon while I'm a Skysoar. I'm already doing very well pushing it to the Cloudbreach Realm. Senior Brother is a Mountainsea so he will be the best test subject. What am I supposed to do without a suitable test subject?"

He didn't trust others enough to test his disassembly method on them.

"It's fine. Just catch some random Mountainseas for your tests. There are plenty of Mountainseas in the academy nowadays."

"Can we?" Bai Feng asked with a shifty expression, "Why don't you do it, then?"

"Piss off."

Hong Tan rolled his eyes, "Don't you know that there are too many eyes on me? Can I even do anything?"

He rubbed his chin and said, "Didn't you say that you got in contact with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion? Why don't you hire them to catch a few for you?"

"Is that fine?"

"Yeah. This will be very convenient." Hong Tan's tone turned sinister, "We can use this chance to get a few eyesores killed. That way, their backers will send more people here. The stronger the people they send, the better it is. It's even better if they are angered enough to send dozens of Sunmoons here..."

Bai Feng nodded and grinned, "I understand. We'll let those bastards fight among themselves. But...is it appropriate for us to get them killed in Great Xia?"

"True. We'll think about this again."

Suddenly, Hong Tan's eyes flickered. He started scanning their surroundings.

Then, he roared, "Who is it?"

Nothing happened.

The look in Hong Tan's eyes changed as he reached out at Bai Feng. Right at that moment, a palm appeared behind Bai Feng, reaching straight for his head. R̃ΆNőΒÈȘ

"You're courting death!"

Hong Tan slapped Bai Feng away before manifesting his sword and shield.

Boom!

The hidden individual countered with a punch. The shield cracked upon contact with the punch. Hong Tan's expression changed when he noticed that. Meanwhile, Bai Feng was slapped onto the wall before sliding down in a dazed manner.

After throwing a punch at the shield, the hidden individual flickered and grabbed Bai Feng. A sneer rang out as he said, "Surrender."

Hong Tan's face fell.

As for Bai Feng, despair covered his face.

Clenching his teeth, Hong Tan said, "This is not possible. How did you get in here?"

This was not supposed to be possible. This was his own research center. It was under the protection of numerous formations. Was this someone from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?

The unknown individual said, "How can those insignificant tricks pose any trouble to me? I'm Profound Nine!"

"Profound Nine!" Hong Tan gnashed his teeth, "It's you! The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member who was in Nanyuan not long ago!"

"Exactly. I'm the leader of Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's Great Xia branch."

Hong Tan's face turned cold. This was a higher-up from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

He had not expected them to be brazen enough to actually enter the capital. Moreover, one of them had even successfully enter his research center. That was not possible. What was Wan Tiansheng doing? Did the principal not notice anything?

"What do you want?"

Su Yu said, "I only need you to stay put. I'm only here for Bai Feng. Look at his fair and tender skin. I'm going to sell him for money."

"..."

Silence descended. Even Bai Feng was stunned. The intruder...might not necessarily need to sneak in. He could actually enter normally. And only five individuals had the clearance to enter the research center normally.

Apart from the three who were already in the building, there were two other individuals.

Su Yu and Chen Yong.

And this level of strength...

Bai Feng groaned, "Senior Brother! This is not funny!"

Hearing that, Hong Tan was stunned. He asked doubtfully, "Little Yong?"

It was possible for Chen Yong to be this strong. Back then, Chen Yong was already a ninth-stage Mountainsea. But...this person also had a strong physical cultivation. Little Yong was a pure cultural researcher.

Was this really Chen Yong? Hong Tan was unsure.

Meanwhile, Bai Feng gave Su Yu a kick and cursed, "Senior Brother, don't you know that this is very scary? You nearly scared me to death! Luckily, it's you. Fortunately, Su Yu isn't here to see this. This is too embarrassing!"

Phew. Good thing this was his senior brother.

How scary.

Since Su Yu was still busy being a mayor, this person could only be Chen Yong. What a surprise. He had actually managed to become a leader in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

He rolled his eyes and punched Su Yu's chest playfully while saying, "Senior Brother, stop messing around. Why are you still wearing this mask? Take it off. Teacher has been missing you. Jia as well..."

Su Yu merely stared at his teacher with stupefaction. He had never mentioned being his martial uncle. How did Bai Feng reach such a conclusion?

Also, why did his teacher punch his chest playfully? Was this...a girlfriend flirting around with her boyfriend?

Hong Tan started frowning. Something felt off. Was this really Little Yong?

This must be one of them or he wouldn't have been so lenient with Bai Feng.

"Little..."

He paused as his jaw dropped. He hurriedly shut his mouth, but soon, it opened wide again.

He muttered, "Little Yu, you...I...he..."

Finally, Bai Feng looked up to face the mysterious visitor...and was instantly stunned.

He froze completely.

After a long while, he said, "Uhm...Senior Brother...stop messing around..."

He must be seeing things. Definitely.

Su Yu laughed awkwardly and said, "Teacher, Grandteacher, I was just joking around. Don't mind me. I didn't even use my full strength. I was only testing everyone's vigilance..."

Boom!

A punch landed on Su Yu's head. But Bai Feng was the one who was hurting so much he nearly teared up.

Initially, Hong Tan wanted to persuade Bai Feng to calm down. But he decided to stop when he heard a certain someone claiming to have not used his full strength earlier.

Proceed. Beat that little shit up. Show no mercy.

Damn that little shit. What was the meaning of that?

Not using his full strength?

Was the damn kid saying that he was holding back when he cracked the shield with one punch? Was the damn kid trying to say that if he used all his strength, he could have killed his grandteacher with one punch?

After the first punch, Bai Feng gave Su Yu a second punch. Su Yu merely smiled awkwardly while Bai Feng had to try even harder to not tear up. His fist was hurting so much!

Holy shit!

Fuck!

Why was he the one hurting when punching someone else?

"Profound Nine?"

Bai Feng wisely stopped punching. Instead, he grabbed Su Yu's collar and howled, "Profound Nine, right?"

"Cough, cough. Uhm..."

"You little shit! How dare you sneak in here just to mess with your grandteacher and teacher? Did you enjoy yourself?"

"I—"

"Have you forgotten how to respect your elders?" Bai Feng howled, "And you even attacked me?"

"Nope. Teacher, it wasn't me. Grandteacher was the one who had slapped you to the side. I was the one who had helped you up. You can think back to what happened if you don't trust my words."

Bai Feng thought about it and cursed inwardly. That seemed to be the case. His teacher was the one who had slapped him aside. And then, the kid grabbed him. Was that the kid's way of helping someone up?

He couldn't stay calm. He could only cover his embarrassment through his shouts.

Holy shit!

How!

How was the kid this strong?

He felt as though the kid could kill him with one casual slap!

That was infuriating!

So infuriating!

Too embarassing!

Hong Tan had a bizarre expression as he said, "Little Feng, this is not how you teach your student. It's too violent. Don't even think of cutting him with a sword. His body is too strong..."

Right after those words were said, a large sword appeared beside Bai Feng. That was Hong Tan's sword.

Pick it up!

Cut the damn kid with the sword!

What a bastard.

The kid had arrived in the middle of the night to play such a joke on them.

For a moment, Hong Tan had thought that he would die here. But it was actually the little shit. Bai Feng's Dragon Slaying Sword was probably not strong enough to do anything to the kid. Thus, Hong Tan had kindly offered his own sword.

Bai Feng picked the sword up and looked at his teacher speechlessly before tossing the sword back. He said, "Alright, Teacher. If you want to beat him up, do it yourself. I'm not doing it."

"..."

Hong Tan glared at his student. What was the meaning of that? Was he that kind of person?

Su Yu flashed a fawning smile and said, "Clear your anger, Grandteacher. You're so amazing. That one palm attack of yours gave me an internal injury!"

"Shut up!"

Both Hong Tan and Bai Feng roared at the same time. Bai Feng said, "Just stop bullshitting. You little bastard. How dare you mess around with your grandteacher. Your grandteacher might be weaker than you, but he tried his best. You shouldn't insult his effort like that."

He sighed and continued, "This is my student...sigh. I have failed in teaching him proper moral values. So be it. Remember. Be respectful to your grandteacher in the future. You're my student. People might misunderstand that I'm such a rude person as well."

He used a lot of words to essentially praise his teaching skills for producing a strong student like this. Hong Tan rolled his eyes. Bai Feng was so delusional it was hopeless.

He inhaled deeply and stared at Su Yu. After a long while, he asked, "Are the rumors fake?"

Su Yu hesitated and asked, "Which rumor are you referring to? The one where I got numerous Sunmoons killed? Or the one where I got my big brother beat up some Invincibles for me? Are you asking about my first rank on the Heaven Index? Or maybe there are more rumors? The ones I mentioned are real, but I don't know about the rest."

"..."

Silence descended.
