Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 223: A Good and Honest Man, Su Yu (1)

Su Yu had only stayed in the living area for a short while when Bai Feng came up.

"Teacher!"

Bai Feng nodded. He walked over in an unhurried manner, acting like he was some refined sage as he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. He looked at Su Yu who was sitting there without doing anything.

Excellent. This kid had indeed never thought of pouring his teacher a cup of tea.

What an unfilial kid!

"Has the matter been exposed?"

"What?"

Bai Feng asked, "Did the kid from Zheng Family look for you?"

"Teacher, you..."

"Why do you think you can hide that from me?" Bai Feng nonchalantly said, "I sensed the text from the first day you found it. See, trouble is coming for you now."

Su Yu wanted to say something but he hesitated.

Bai Feng smiled and said, "The Zheng Family is very big. And powerful. This is very troublesome. Even your teacher..."

"Teacher!" Su Yu looked at Bai Feng who was still acting like an unfathomable expert and awkwardly said, "It's fine. The Zheng Family won't be an issue..."

"I know you're feeling pressured. Don't be afraid. With your teacher around, everything will be fine." Bai Feng said, "Don't forget that we have a Mountainsea expert in our faction as well. Our backer is an eighth-stage Mountainsea character master. We don't have to fear their ninth-stage Mountainsea warrior."

"Teacher, it's really fine. There is no need to make a big fuss out of this." Su Yu hurriedly explained when he saw that Bai Feng was about to drag Hong Tan in, "It's really fine. I already came to an agreement with Zheng Yunhui. He will be paying me 30 merit points each time he reads the Skybreak Technique willpower text."

"Pu!"

Bai Feng spat a mouthful of tea. He frowned and said, "Overnight tea? Did you not brew a fresh pot of tea today?"

"..."

Su Yu wanted to laugh, but he was able to hold it in. He hurriedly played along, helping Bai Feng cover his embarrassment, "Yes. It's overnight tea. I'll make you a fresh pot immediately, Teacher."

Su Yu then ran off to boil some water, leaving a befuddled Bai Feng behind. What was going on? Weren't the two kids supposed to be feuding with each other? But Su Yu was telling him that Zheng Yunhui had agreed to pay to read? That information was completely different from what he had learned.

"Damn that Liu Hong! Is he even aware of what is happening? Or perhaps that text does not belong to Zheng Yunhui after all?"

Bai Feng was confused. Just what was going on?

Before long, Su Yu returned. Bai Feng coughed and calmly said, "Tell me. What's up."

"Teacher, isn't Liu Hong our enemy?"

Su Yu started explaining his plan. After he was finished, Bai Feng remained silent for a long while. His student…A brat who was only a third-stage Great Strength cultivator was planning to scam an eighth-stage Skysoar cultivator. And the plan even sounded feasible. Of course, nobody knew if it would ultimately work. But there was no denying that his student was truly gutsy.

Bai Feng started thinking about his past. Had he ever thought of making a move against Skysoars when he was still at the Great Strength Realm? The two brats were not only thinking about it. They were actually doing it. The brats of this generation were truly gutsy.

And they weren't even aiming to scam a small sum from Liu Hong. They were aiming to get over 10,000 merit points from this plot. If they succeeded, Liu Hong would probably go bankrupt. He would even be forced to sell even his own underpants.

No!

Bai Feng suddenly realized something. If Liu Hong really became so poor he had to sell his underpants, who would be supplying Bai Feng with money in the future? Wait, that wasn't right. At that point, everything Liu Hong had would be in their hands. At that point, why would he still care about Liu Hong?

Liu Hong would have to take care of himself. If that fellow was really that useless, then Bai Feng should probably stop wasting too much time on him.

Bai Feng took a sip of his cup of overnight tea and looked at Su Yu. After a while, he asked doubtfully, "You might not be Zheng Yunhui's match. But you insist on fighting him and are going to even put the research center's data as the wager. Are you sure people would take the bait?"

That was basically the same as offering to give the data away. Would anyone fall for it?

Su Yu explained, "Teacher, I still have some confidence. I can also give others the feeling that I am sure I can win."

Bai Feng laughed, "Even if you use your blood essence ability, that is no longer a secret. Everyone is already aware of that..."

"No." Su Yu hurriedly explained, "Teacher, this is my plan. Everyone believes that I'm still a third-stage Great Strength cultivator with three Divine Characters and blood essence abilities. But in truth, I am much stronger. In that case, things would be completely different.

"Teacher, what if I'm a sixth-stage Great Strength cultivator with four or more Divine Characters? Would I have a higher chance of winning?"

"Of course. If you're only a stage lower than him, with blood essence and more Divine Characters, you will definitely have a higher chance of winning. Even an idiot knows that for our faction, the more Divine Characters we have, the stronger we get..."

"Then it will be fine!" Su Yu smiled, "If everyone believes that I stand a chance against Zheng Yunhui, it would be understandable for me to accept his challenge. After all, he's offering three drops of Cloudbreach divine blood essence. How can something that valuable not move me?"

"But Zheng Yunhui will continue growing even while you are growing."

Su Yu immediately said, "That won't be an issue, Teacher. I'm already at the fifth-stage. Can't you see that?"

"..."

Bai Feng's body turned stiff.

He looked at Su Yu. And he really couldn't see it. Wait. Some bastard had helped Su Yu conceal his cultivation. With the same awkward expression, Bai Feng unleashed his willpower. Since he was Su Yu's teacher, there was no taboo in him scanning his own student. His willpower broke through the concealment and next, he stood up in shock.

"61 acupoints..."

Bai Feng rubbed his chin and pretended to be calm, "I'll go check some data. I'll be back."

"Teacher..."

Whoosh!

Bai Feng was gone.

...

Third underground floor.

Bai Feng threw a punch at the wall.

The pain woke him up. He checked the calendar on the wall and sank into deep thought. Had he been too focused on his research and forgotten the passage of time? Perhaps he had been researching for a few months?

At that thought, he called a number, "Senior Brother, what date is today?"

"9th. Why?"

"Wait. What month is it currently?"

"..."

Chen Yong frowned. Had his junior brother gone mad from too much research?

"Bai Feng, are you fine?"

"Yes. I'm fine. Senior Brother, answer me. What month is it?"

"9th of September. Year 350 of the Anping calendar. Junior Brother, are you really fine?"

Bai Feng muttered to himself, "So it's really 9th today. I have only been in the lab for less than a week..."

"Bai Feng..."

"Senior Brother, what's the date Su Yu left his seclusion?"

"4th. This is the fifth day after his seclusion. Just what is going on?"

Bai Feng looked at the ceiling with despair and said, "Senior Brother, he has only opened 37 acupoints previously, right?"

"Yes."

"Is it possible for someone to open 24 acupoints in 5 days? Basically he has to open 5 acupoints per day. Senior Brother, does such a person exist?"

"..."

Finally, Chen Yong realized something. He said in disbelief, "Don't joke around with me!"

"Senior Brother, I'm not joking!"

Bai Feng laughed dryly and said, "I even thought that a few months had passed while I was in my lab. But you told me that I was wrong. Just a moment ago, that kid told me that he has grown stronger. And when I checked, he had opened 61 acupoints!"

"..."

Chen Yong was stunned. What? Opening 24 acupoints in 5 days? How?

"How did he do that?"

"I want to ask you the same question too," Bai Feng rolled his eyes. How was he supposed to know the answer for that?

He had been in seclusion for a few days! He had been in his underground laboratory! How was he supposed to know anything?

"Are you sure you didn't check wrongly?"

"Of course." Bai Feng said, "Also, someone helped conceal his cultivation. When I checked, it was a Cloudbreach cultivator. I don't know what's going on..."

"Ask him."

Chen Yong hurriedly said, "Don't waste any time. I'll be there shortly. Just what is going on? How is it possible that he can grow so quickly? There isn't anything wrong, right?"

"I'll ask him."

Bai Feng felt very helpless. He was completely clueless as to what his student had done. He had been too shocked to ask before calling his senior brother. That was simply too shocking a growth.

...

After spending some time calming down, Bai Feng changed into a different set of clothes and returned to the living area with a calm and composed appearance.

"You're at the fifth-stage Great Strength Realm now?"

"Yes." Su Yu happily said, "I went to the Source Qi Secret Grotto last night. I bought some blood essence for my cultivation. Surprisingly, I was actually able to reach the fifth-stage in the grotto. The grotto is really a good place. Teacher, when I earn more money, I'll go there often! But that place is really expensive. I'm almost out of merit points now..."

Bai Feng nearly crushed the cup in his hand when he heard that. The brat was nearly out of merit points?

Holy shit!

Was the brat the Skysoar or was he the Skysoar? Why did it feel like the brat was a lot more extravagant than Bai Feng, a proper Skysoar? But when Bai Feng thought of Su Yu's growth speed, he understood. This kid was very willing to spend his money. Then again, if Bai Feng could grow so quickly just by spending money, he would probably make the same decision.

"Did you get the seal on you from someone at the Grotto District?"

"Seal?" Su Yu nodded, "Yeah. Teacher Huang left it on me when I was leaving."

Bai Feng curled his lips. Did Su Yu think that the old man from the Grotto District was doing it out of kindness? That old man was probably curious as well. He had only used that as an excuse to check Su Yu's condition.

"Fifth-stage Great Strength Realm..."

Bai Feng asked, "Did you use mountainbreak bull blood essence for your cultivation?"

"Yeah. Infinite Strength mountainbreak bull blood essence." Su Yu nodded, "It feels the same as Great Strength blood essence. Teacher, I feel like the Infinite Strength can be used for body forging as well. Why does everyone insist on using the Great Strength blood essence?"

Bai Feng had the urge to beat someone up. He said, "Do you think everyone is like you? Do you think everyone can withstand Infinite Strength blood essence at the Great Strength Realm? A drop or two might be fine, but no Great Strength cultivator can take dozens of Infinite Strength blood essence."

Just look at Su Yu. He was acting like nobody knew that Infinite Strength blood essence was better. Did he really think that everyone was stupid?

The issue was that at the Great Strength Realm, one would need to be careful when absorbing Infinite Strength blood essence lest one end up bursting apart from absorbing too much. Everyone wanted to absorb powerful blood essence, but everyone was limited by their own strength.

"Because of your Divine Character?"

Bai Feng looked at Su Yu's head, resisting the urge to split that head apart and dig his sea of willpower out. It was that Divine Character again?

Su Yu nodded with an honest look on his face, "Yes, Teacher. The blood character is incredible. Teacher, this character is too helpful. I even have a feeling that it's going to reach the second tier soon."

Crack!

The cup in Bai Feng's hand was crushed, the tea splashing onto Bai Feng's clothes, leaving tea dregs everywhere.
