Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 178: So Lucky (2)

Chapter 178: So Lucky (2)

Chen Yong waved his hand again and said, “Calm down. It is pointless to get so agitated. Wait until Teacher goes above the Mountainsea Realm. Or maybe wait until I enter the Mountainsea Realm. At that time, things will naturally change.”

“How long do we need to wait?” Bai Feng gloomily said, “Teacher has been stuck for so many years. It’s the same for you.”

Chen Yong laughed, but he did not continue the topic. He said, “So Su Yu is going to reach the Mental Tempering Stage already? This is quite surprising. For our faction, we need powerful willpower to nurture more Divine Characters without putting too much burden on our willpower.”

After thinking about it, Chen Yong took out a shiny piece of jade bone and said, “Give this to him. Tell him this is his Martial Uncle’s welcome gift to him.”

“The skull of the mythic destruction beast?” Looking at the tiny jade bone, Bai Feng was alarmed, “Senior Brother? What are you thinking? You’re giving this to Su Yu? Have you gone mad? You got this from Teacher back then to celebrate your advancement into the Cloudbreach Realm!”

Chen Yong smiled, “I don’t have much use for it anymore. I wanted to keep it for Jia, but I don’t think she needs it.”

Chen Yong sighed, “Jia’s talent is good. It is only a matter of time before she enters the Skysoar Realm with 10 Divine Characters. But it would be hard for her to form more Divine Characters. Her willpower won’t be able to withstand the burden of more Divine Characters.”

“As for Su Yu, he is growing very fast. And previously, you said that he managed to form a Divine Character in one day. He might be able to form even more during the Mental Tempering Stage. With this thing, it would be much safer for him. It can also help relieve him of some burden on his willpower.”

“Senior Brother.”

Bai Feng was hesitating. But when he thought of how talented his student was, he gnashed his teeth and took the round jade bone.

“Fine. I’ll accept it. That little bastard has no idea how much we have spent for his sake!”

Bai Feng then took a deep breath and said, “I’ll watch over him and make sure he reaches the Mental Tempering Stage as soon as possible. Then…we’ll see if he can enter the Top 100 Ranking before the end of the year. It would be better if he can enter and kick out all the bastards from that faction. That way, Jia might be able to get back into the ranking again. With that, you might be able to avoid the second review…”

Chen Yong smiled, “Don’t force him. Cultivation is something you need to do one step at a time. It wouldn’t be worth it to harm his foundation by forcing him too much. My position isn’t too important. We don’t intend to accept any new students anyway. And without new students, we won’t really be needing this place that much.”

“I understand.” Bai Feng stood up and said, “I’ll be taking my leave, then. By the way, my research is progressing rapidly as well. If you’re free, you can go take a look. Don’t spend your time in this shitty place all the time. I’m already sick of looking at this place.”

The books depository was a good place, but it wasn’t their own place. Staying here, Chen Yong had to keep watch over the numerous original texts yet couldn’t use all of them. Bai Feng was personally quite sick of this place.

“I know. Take care of yourself too. Don’t let your research delay your cultivation.”

“Yeah, I know.”

After Bai Feng left, Chen Yong sighed. At times, he had the urge to shut his teacher’s research center. In fact, when the academy tried shutting down their research center previously, he was agreeable.

Bai Feng was too stubborn. The research center had delayed his cultivation too much. And without their teacher around, Bai Feng was placing even more effort on his research. If this continued, he would probably remain in the Skysoar Realm even after Liu Hong and the others reached the Cloudbreach Realm.

“You’ll only hinder your own future if you continue like this.”

Chen Yong shook his head and sighed again. He could only hope that Bai Feng’s student wouldn’t be the same. Sure, research was important, and that was what a lot of cultural researchers were doing. But it would be a waste of his junior brother’s time and talent to spend too much effort on a research subject that had been stuck for decades.

…

29th of August.

The day before the monthly examination.

Su Yu’s willpower had grown once again. It was now 49 percent full. He was only a step away from the Mental Tempering Stage. He hadn’t been able to enter the Mental Tempering Stage before the monthly examination, but he had still been growing at a shocking speed.

It had only been a month since he joined the academy. In the beginning, his willpower wasn’t even 30 percent full. In the blink of an eye, he was on the cusp of the Mental Tempering Stage. This was an absolutely terrifying speed.

As for his physical cultivation, he had also advanced into a third-stage Great Strength cultivator. Even in a war academy, he would be one of the better students.

Today, he encountered Liu Hong who had been missing for a while. He had stumbled upon the teacher while he was walking on the street.

“Hello, Teacher Liu.”

Despite his dislike for Liu Hong, Su Yu did not try anything stupid when facing Liu Hong. He knew he was still not Liu Hong’s match so he was maintaining proper respect for this teacher.

When Liu Hong saw Su Yu, he flashed his trademark smile. When Liu Hong saw the source qi undulations around Su Yu, his eyes flickered. This kid had entered the Great Strength Realm!

That was fast! No wonder this kid was able to catch Bai Feng’s eyes. He was really a genius. And the more of a genius he was, the better it would be for Liu Hong. If Su Yu wasn’t a genius or a freak, then suppressing him would be pointless since nobody would know Su Yu’s value.

Liu Hong had been prepared to help Su Yu grow more before suppressing him. Thus, Liu Hong was pleased to see Su Yu growing so rapidly. Seeing that Liu Hong had stopped walking, Su Yu had no choice but to stop as well.

With a smile, Liu Hong praised, “Well done. I have also heard about your spar with Lin Yao. Is that really happening?”

“Yeah.”

Su Yu did not deny it. There was no point. Why was Liu Hong asking him that? Was Liu Hong here to help his student? Was he here to prevent the spar after seeing that Su Yu had entered the Great Strength Realm?

However, Liu Hong harbored none of those thoughts. Su Yu would remain an insignificant nobody before defeating someone like Lin Yao. And an insignificant nobody was not worth suppressing. In truth, even Lin Yao himself wasn’t that big of a deal.

After thinking about it, Liu Hong said, “Disputes between students are unrelated to us teachers. As long as you guys do not break any rules, everything would be fine. However, I wish to remind you to not waste your time on these senseless conflicts.

Liu Hong shook his head, “You guys are still too weak. At this stage, it is better for you to keep growing silently. Don’t be like your senior sister and get involved in the factional conflict too early. In fact, you were the reason your senior sister was seriously injured…”

Su Yu frowned.

Liu Hong smiled, “I am merely feeling melancholic. Bai Feng had done a lot for your sake, but unfortunately, your senior sister was implicated by his action. By defeating Hu Wensheng, he had slapped the faces of some people. Among those in the Skysoar Realm, very few people can deal with Bai Feng. Your martial uncle is in the Cloudbreach Realm while you’re too weak. Your senior sister, on the other hand, is in the Top 100 Ranking. She is the perfect target for revenge.”

Liu Hong shook his head, “Bai Feng had been too selfish. To get the mountainbreak bull blood essence for you, to demonstrate the strength of the multiple character faction to you, he had brought disaster upon his senior brother and your senior sister…”

Su Yu was starting to get agitated, but he forcefully calmed himself down and held the urge to punch Liu Hong’s face in. He said, “Teacher, I don’t understand all that.”

“You don’t understand?” Liu Hong smiled, “There is no need for you to understand that. I am only telling you that your little tricks might work against Lin Yao, but you are still too far behind the students on the Top 100 Ranking. As for me, I honestly can’t be bothered to get involved in these tiny conflicts. I’ll just sit back and enjoy the show.

“Great Strength Realm…not bad at all. But some of the geniuses from this batch have already reached the seventh-stage Great Strength Realm. You’re still quite far away from them.”

With the same smile on his face, Liu Hong said, “Advise your teacher to keep a low profile. That applies to you as well. In truth, winning against Lin Yao won’t help you anyway. It will only bring you more troubles. If I’m you, I would probably allow Lin Yao to win. After that, you will gradually fade from the public eye.”

Su Yu clenched his fists silently.

Liu Hong continued, “You’re worried of losing the mountainbreak bull blood essence to us? Don’t worry. I’ll advise Lin Yao to give up. I doubt your faction can take out another set of blood essence anyway. You should just save your merit points and get some treatment for your injured senior sister instead.”

He sounded friendly and kind, as though he was doing this for Su Yu’s own good. But the more Su Yu listened, the more furious he felt. He had never felt so furious before. He looked up at Liu Hong’s smiling face. He really wanted to punch that face.

“Teacher Liu. I won’t lose.”

Not only that, but he would also humiliate Liu Hong. He would deliver Liu Hong’s student a crushing defeat, teaching Liu Hong that a piece of trash would always be different from a truly strong person. His patience was running thin. He could no longer endure this. Liu Hong’s words had provoked him numerous times, causing him to feel angrier and angrier. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/velbin(.)com

Liu Hong’s smile grew even wider as he said, “Children like you are always so stubborn. I am doing this for your own good. Don’t always think that I’m trying to harm you. I have also heard about your conflict with Chen Qi. He’s already a seventh-stage Great Strength cultivator. He has also reached the late-stage of the Mental Tempering Stage. Without the strength of an Infinite Strength cultivator, you stand no chance against him.”

“Sigh. You’re only at the Great Strength Realm. How can you contend against him?” Liu Hong shook his head and started walking away. “If you want to get involved in the factional conflicts of the academy, you need to at least get into the Top 100 Ranking first. Otherwise, you won’t even be qualified to join the game. You are still too weak. Unless…”

Liu Hong’s voice was already starting to turn indistinct as he walked further and further away. However, Su Yu could still vaguely hear Liu Hong mutter these words to himself: “Unless you’re really so lucky that you found the lost Skybreak Technique Technique in the library.”

Su Yu blinked in confusion.

Skybreak Technique? What was that? From Liu Hong’s words, was that something that would help him reach the Top 100 Ranking? Fear not. Xia Huyou, the reliable information peddler was around!
