Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 214: Fourth-Stage Great Strength (1)

Chapter 214: Fourth-Stage Great Strength (1)

Su Yu spent the day attending classes. Nobody bothered to pick fights with him as everyone was still busy cultivating. After all, they had just entered their academy and this was the period of time where they could grow rapidly.

Only when they encountered a bottleneck or when they decided it was time to challenge the Top 100 Ranking would the peace of the senior class be broken.

As for the tournament mentioned by Liu Hong, that was only a small tournament. These small tournaments were merely one of the small events the academy used to stimulate more growth in their students.

Since there was still some time before the tournament, Su Yu wasn’t too worried about it. He would ask about it after Bai Feng left his laboratory.

…

Xia Huyou was quite efficient.

Su Yu had made the order on the 6th and all 60 drops of blood essence arrived on the 8th. Xia Huyou even gave him some information for free. After all, he was more than happy to see Su Yu create more waves in the academy.

Wentan Research Center.

Finally, Su Yu came to understand how strong the single character faction was.

The current leader of the single character faction was Zhou Mingren, a ninth-stage Mountainsea. Apart from Zhou Mingren, there were a few other Mountainsea experts in that faction.

Naturally, some of these experts no longer bothered themselves with the general affairs of the faction. But Zhou Mingren wasn’t the one personally running things. Instead, a Mountainsea expert by the name Zheng Yuming was in charge.

He was a first-stage Mountainsea. He was also a senior researcher, a new elder of the Heart Cultivating Pavilion, the first student of Zhou Mingren, and the current faction master of the single character faction.𝒂ll new st𝒐ries at nove/lbi/𝒏(.)c𝒐m

This was also Su Yu’s first time hearing about the faction master position. That was not an official position. Instead, it was an unofficial way the members of a faction address the person in charge of running the faction. The multiple character faction had a faction master as well, and that faction master was Chen Yong, not Hong Tan.

People at the level of Hong Tan would mostly not concern themselves with the more mundane affairs of a faction. Meanwhile, the faction master was the one in charge of handling all the day-to-day operations of the faction. Basically, the faction master was akin to a butler.

Of course, since Zheng Yuming was already an elder and a Mountainsea expert, he would probably relinquish the position in a few years and focus on his position as an elder.

“Zhou Mingren has six direct students. Zheng Yuming, Mountainsea. Hu Wensheng, ninth-stage Skysoar. Xia Chan, seventh-stage Great Strength.”

Apart from those three, the only other student Su Yu knew was Zhou Pingsheng, a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. Of the six students, four were in the academy. Of the remaining two, one had perished while the other was in the Devil Subduing Army. That person rarely returned to the academy so Su Yu did not pay him much attention.

There was no need to mention Xia Chan. She had just entered the academy yet her status was high. Zhou Mingren had not accepted a student for many years. Hu Wensheng was supposed to be his final student, but now, that position had been taken by Xia Chan.

Su Yu had thought that Liu Hong was Zhou Mingren’s student as well, but he was mistaken. Liu Hong was the student of a different elder from the single character faction. But that elder seemed to be reaching the end of his lifespan so he rarely showed himself nowadays.

After accepting Liu Hong, he had vanished from public eyes for about six years. His current status was unknown. Thus, Liu Hong was a genius of the single character faction, but he wasn’t from Zhou Mingren’s line. Hu Wensheng was the main figure of Liu Hong’s generation from Zhou Mingren’s line.

“Zhou Mingren’s generation consists mostly of those in the Mountainsea Realm. As for his direct students, they come in all cultivation levels. Apart from Xia Chan, three of his four students still present in the academy have accepted students as well. All three of them had filled the quota of students they could accept.”

According to the academy rules, an assistant researcher could accept two students, a junior researcher could accept four, an intermediate researcher could accept six, and a senior researcher could accept unlimited students.

Previously, Zheng Yuming was only an intermediate researcher like Zhou Pingsheng. Both had accepted six students each. Meanwhile, Hu Wensheng had accepted two students, and Chen Qi was one of them. Thus, they only had 14 third generation students under the main line of the faction.

And eight of them had not reached the Skysoar Realm. Since Zheng Yuming was already a Mountainsea and Zhou Pingsheng was a seventh-stage Cloudbreach, it was understandable that some of their students would be in the Skysoar Realm.

Su Yu’s focus was on the eight non-Skysoar students. Apart from Chen Qi, he had seven potential targets. Lin Yao did not count since he was Liu Hong’s student, not someone under Zhou Mingren’s line.

“Seven…”

Among them, four were actually in the Top 100 Ranking. One ought to know that there were tens of thousands of students in the academy below the Skysoar Realm yet Zhou Mingren’s line had occupied four of the top 100 spots. That was actually very impressive.

The more Su Yu read, the more he realized that he had underestimated them before. The other three weren’t students who had failed to enter the top 100. Rather, they were already beyond 30. They might have entered the top 100 before as well. After all, only those below 30 could enter the Top 100 Ranking.

“They only accept geniuses as students. With sufficient resources, it is understandable for their students to do so well. But Chen Qi seems to be an exception. He is the worst out of the eight and he is only a high-middle student.”

Su Yu finally understood why Chen Qi was so rash when dealing with him. He wanted to use the mountainbreak bull blood essence to forge his body and gain more strength. He needed to enter the Top 100 Ranking and gain more acknowledgement from his own faction.

Including Chen Qi, their line only had five students of their generation. And out of the five, four had entered the Top 100 Ranking. Chen Qi was the only one not in the ranking. How could he not be stressed about it?

“Impressive.”

Su Yu was planning to deal a heavy blow to them, but he found that he had truly underestimated them. That was a terrifyingly powerful faction. Out of their eight third-generation students who had yet to reach Skysoar, Chen Qi was actually the weakest.

And that was excluding people like Zhou Mingren. If their generation was included, they would have several Mountainsea experts. Those senior figures had their own students. And these students had their own students too. Added together, there were quite a lot of them.

“Huang Qifeng!”

Su Yu suddenly noticed a name and his face turned gloomy.

“Huang Qifeng, 23 years old. This is his fifth year in the academy and he is ranked 79th in the Top 100 Ranking. Around a month ago, he had defeated Wu Jia to get into the Top 100 Ranking.”

That was a short description, but Su Yu’s face fell when he read it. This was the person! During his previous visit to the books depository, he had heard a series of painful coughs from that senior sister who he had never met before.

It was normal for students to fight for the Top 100 Ranking. But it wasn’t normal for someone to be injured so heavily. Sure, one could always claim that one wasn’t able to hold back in time during a match. But was that really the case for Huang Qifeng? Su Yu wasn’t sure, but he guessed that Huang Qifeng had intentionally harmed his senior sister.

“Ninth-stage Great Strength Realm and 95 percent willpower. His main Divine Character is a battle character of the devil race. In combat, he is dauntless.”

That was the information Xia Huyou had collected on Huang Qifeng. This was a very powerful student. As a ninth-stage Great Strength cultivator with a powerful Divine Character, he had the combat strength of a regular third-stage Infinite Strength cultivator.

“Zheng Yuming’s final student.”

Final student! Su Yu knew that that signified. But perhaps it was as simple as Huang Qifeng being Zheng Yuming’s sixth student when Zheng Yuming was only an intermediate researcher. Because of that, he automatically became the final student.

“Huang Qifeng…”

Su Yu stared at the name while deep in thought. This was the person who had seriously injured his senior sister. His martial uncle had been depressed. His teacher had been feeling indignant. But neither could do anything to Huang Qifeng. Due to the academy rules, there was nothing they could do to him.

But without these rules, these students wouldn’t have been able to cultivate so freely. Everyone was subjected to the restrictions of these rules. The multiple character faction had no way of dealing with Huang QIfeng.

He was still not a Skysoar. Wu Jia was already seriously injured while Su Yu was a new student. Who in the multiple character faction could touch him?

“Fucking asshole!”

Su Yu scolded.

“I’ll remember you. Just you wait.”　

It would have been fine if he had only defeated Wu Jia. Everyone was fighting to enter the Top 100 Ranking. If one wasn’t a match, it was only natural for one to be defeated. But Wu Jia had been injured so heavily she had to be bedridden for three months.

One ought to know that even the injury Su Yu dealt to Chen Qi would recover in only three days as long as he was given the right treatment. And Chen Qi’s defeat had been pretty miserable. Even so, he had only needed three days to recover. Just how badly was Wu Jia injured for her to be bedridden for three months?

Su Yu took a deep breath and packed his stuff.

“Blood essence, War God Art’s willpower text, Skybreak Technique’s willpower text…”

After packing up the important items, he thought for a bit before picking up the two Great Strength myriad race willpower texts as well. He then left the research center. He had initially planned to pick a few weaklings from the single character faction to bully. But he discovered that he had been too optimistic.

Their weakest member was Chen Qi, someone Su Yu had already defeated before. Unless he looked for Liu Hong’s other student, he wouldn’t be able to find a suitable target. It didn’t matter if he had Infinite Strength blood essence with him.
