Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 211: Encounters In The Senior Class (2)

Chapter 211: Encounters In The Senior Class (2)

Su Yu smiled and explained, “Nanyuan is quite poor. We don’t have a lot of source qi in the environment. And we can’t afford source qi liquid either. Thus, we can only rely on our efforts from a young age. We don’t have that many opportunities to use source qi liquid.

“Only when the entrance exam was near did I purchase some source qi liquid from the school. And I found that the liquid worked very well on me. After arriving at the capital, I found that the source qi here is terrifyingly dense. The people here can definitely cultivate at a much faster speed.

“Thus, I concluded that my progress is so fast because this is my first time having access to so much source qi. I suggest that everyone should not use any source qi liquid and even move out of the capital before 18. Maybe you can consider growing up in Nanyuan and return when you turn 18. With that, you might be able to grow as fast as well.”

Silence descended. Nobody had anything to say.

Was he talking nonsense? It was unlikely. There was some truth in his words. But all of them were already above 18. And all of them had grown up on source qi liquid.

Yet Su Yu was telling them to go cultivate at Nanyuan? Forget it. They decided to pretend they hadn’t heard anything.

Meanwhile, Jia Mingzhen transmitted his voice with surprise, “Is that the case? It’s so simple?”

It had been far too long since he was a Source Opening cultivator. He had not paid any attention to the lower levels of cultivation and he had nearly forgotten all about his early years.

“There are other examples of this, but it’s very rare. It still depends on the cultivator in question. Have you forgotten about that fellow from the Great Xia War Academy? That fellow grew up in a poor family too. His background is even worse than Su Yu’s. He has only joined the Great Xia War Academy for a few years yet he’s already at the Cloudbreach Realm. His cultivation speed is incredible. Back then, he performed his breakthrough in our source grotto as well and he reached the third-stage Great Strength Realm directly.”

Those words reminded Jia Mingzhen of that person.Explore new 𝒏ovels on novelbi𝒏(.)com

“In that case, if one has high talent and is starved of source qi since young, one would be able to cultivate faster after growing up? Has any research been performed on this aspect? If there are, send me the data later. If this really works, then we can really consider sending the brats of our families to some backwater. That way, we can both save money and temper them. They will grow up knowing the hardships of the common people.”

“As the saying goes, children of the poor grow up faster. Su Yu does not have a good background, but that poor background seems to be his greatest treasure. Just look at him. He’s a lot more humble and honest than the other kids in the class.”

The elders started talking about what they learned.

They did not doubt Su Yu’s words. His words were reasonable. A kid who had grown up in Nanyuan, never used source qi liquid, and never been to a place with high source qi density might really found his cultivation speed increase by leaps and bounds after being suddenly exposed to more source qi.

His cultivation had merely been slow in the past because his talent had yet to be discovered. This kid was most definitely a genius in physical cultivation. After all, there were other Nanyuan students around as well, but Su Yu was the only one who had grown so quickly. Thus, his talent was most likely the reason for his growth.

Since Wan Mingze had asked him a private question, Su Yu held nothing back. He wasn’t one to take a loss so he smiled honestly and said, “Student Wan, my teacher said that all of you are freaks and geniuses. But to speak the truth, there is something I don’t understand. Just…how many Divine Characters have you formed?”

Wan Mingze was stunned momentarily but he quickly smiled and said, “About that…I have three Divine Characters. Then again, we don’t walk the path of multiple characters and we aren’t going to form any character techniques. Thus, we don’t generally aim to form too many characters. We will mostly focus on only a few main Divine Characters. At times, we will even give up on the Divine Characters we encounter if they are not really suitable for us.”

Su Yu nodded. Three Divine Characters. That wasn’t a small number. No wonder these freaks could get more than 1,000 marks during the entrance examination.

He wanted to ask more, but he gave up since he had the persona of an honest and innocent man to maintain. With that persona, asking one person was fine. But if he asked more, he would appear ignorant and idiotic.

His previous question was fine since Wan Mingze was the one who had asked him a private question first.

This was Su Yu’s first day in the senior class. He had proven his strength and talent before so the atmosphere in the class was decent. At the very least, nobody tried to create trouble for him.

Even Lin Yao was staying very silent. Su Yu was very happy with this. As long as nobody bothered him, he was more than happy to leave others alone. He did not enjoy conflicts that would not bring him any benefits. These kinds of conflicts were pointless.

Wasn’t it nice to hold hands and live together peacefully? While he was thinking, a figure walked past the window near him. Su Yu’s face changed when he saw that figure. He had a feeling that his peace would not last with that person here.

Liu Hong!

Liu Hong entered the classroom with his trademark smile, but there was some gloom deep in his eyes.

Damn it!

Who in the world had secretly set him up?

Recently, there was a rumor in the black market that Liu Hong was someone who had backstabbed even a student. The rumor also claimed that he wanted to take down the Xia Family’s share in the black market and monopolize the entire market by himself.

What nonsense was that? Did he really have such a big appetite? That matter concerning Xia Huyou was nothing major. Would he need to report something like that to the academy?

Two days ago when the academy rewarded him 120 merit points for snitching Xia Huyou out, Liu Hong nearly got a heart attack from his anger. After scheming against others for so long, finally, he had a taste of his own medicine. Someone else had schemed against him! He didn’t even need to guess. It was obvious enough that someone had set him up.

He had been busy dealing with the backlash of that incident for the past two days. He had barely gotten a chance to rest when Su Yu ended his seclusion. His higher ups had been pressuring him to suppress Bai Feng more.

To be precise, it was Zhou Pingsheng who had been ordering him around. That fellow was only a Cloudbreach. Why was he acting like he was a Mountainsea? How dare that fellow order him around? Liu Hong couldn’t help but to grumble that everything had been going wrong for him recently.

Zhou Pingsheng was an idiot. He was a Cloudbreach yet he wasn’t a match for Chen Yong so he had Liu Hong avenge him for his loss in the books depository. What an embarrassment.

Liu Hong did not let his thoughts show on his face.

Looking at Su Yu, he smiled and said, “Today is Su Yu’s first day in the senior class. Since all of you already know him, I won’t waste your time introducing him. In the senior class, your goal should be the Top 100 Ranking and the Skysoar Realm. Moving forward, all of you will be extremely busy. Previously when we were picking a class monitor, nobody had volunteered. Since Student Su Yu had performed well as a class monitor in the intermediate class, this is perfect. He shall be the class monitor of the senior class. Does anyone object?”

Nobody said anything. Nobody cared for the position. They were too busy. And to speak the truth, the meager rewards of that position were not attractive enough for them. It would only be a waste of their time.

Since Su Yu wanted that position, they were more than happy to let him have it.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was cursing inwardly. He had thought that life would be easier in the senior class, but that bastard Liu Hong was playing the same trick on him! He had never expected the senior class to still not have a class monitor after so long.

Bastards!

Did they think he cared that much about those meager rewards? He was pretty rich nowadays! With his previous 146 merit points and the 800 merit points he had won, he had a total of 946 merit points in his possession.

He had no lack of cultivation methods and willpower texts too. He was in the stage where he needed to cultivate and progress rapidly. He did not have the time to act as the class monitor.

He had zero interest in that position!

Thus, Su Yu hurriedly said, “Teacher, it’s fine for me to become a class monitor in the intermediate class, but the senior class is filled with students better than me. Forget about me. I don’t have the confidence to become— “

Liu Hong smiled, “Believe in yourself! You can do it!”

Su Yu said, “Teacher…”

Liu Hong berated, “Student Su Yu, you’re new here. I’m letting you be the class monitor so that you can learn more about the senior class. This is a good chance for you. How can you not treasure it?”

Su Yu inhaled deeply. He wanted to shout that he would rather treasure Liu Hong’s mother instead. But he calmed down and stopped himself from blurting those words. That was a Skysoar. He couldn’t afford to offend a Skysoar yet.

Liu Hong did not give him the chance to say much. “It’s decided then. Su Yu will be the class monitor. Additionally, the academy is going to organize a Divine Character tournament soon. It is a very interesting tournament. Feel free to take part in it, everyone. There are rewards for those who do well in it.”

He looked at Su Yu and said, “Su Yu, you’re the sole new student of the multiple character faction. The multiple character faction used to dominate this tournament a few decades ago. You mustn’t bring shame to your faction so work hard to get first place!”

“By the way, I heard that for the first place, the reward is a willpower text that no longer has any willpower. It was written by a Mountainsea expert. It is a very popular book. It’s called the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem. It no longer has any willpower in it, but you can still sense the intent of the author through it…”

Most of the students were indifferent about the reward.

But the expressions of a few students changed. All of them looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu was completely confused. What was going on? Was that book important? Were those people unhappy because Liu Hong told him to get first place? These freaks…did not look so calm after all.

Right that moment, Jia Mingzhen smiled and casually said, “Isn’t that something written by…Senior Hong? I heard he likes it a lot. Why is it being used as a reward?” Liu Hong smiled, “I have no idea. But that is indeed the reward offered by the academy.”

Su Yu’s expression changed. Was that something written by his grandteacher?

What was the meaning of this? Was it a big deal that it was being used as a reward? It was a willpower text with no willpower. Was there a special meaning to that text? He had no idea what these people were thinking about.

Su Yu stayed silent and decided to ask his teacher about it after class. Little did he know, the text was actually obtained from the black market.

Hong Tan’s personal item had appeared in the black market. Someone had deliberately offered it as a reward to slap the face of the multiple character faction. That was something Su Yu had not thought of.

He only knew that Liu Hong the bastard was most definitely scheming against him again.
