Boom!

A hand was furiously slammed into a table.

Zheng Yunhui roared, “Repeat your words. Who took my Skybreak Technique?”

Liu He rolled his eyes, “Why are you shouting at me? It’s not me. I only heard it from my elder brother. He said that during Su Yu’s fight with Chen Qi, the technique he used felt different. The Skybreak Technique he used felt like the inheritance of a Mountainsea…”

Zheng Yunhui started thinking. He was present during the fight as well.

When he recalled that scene, he gnashed his teeth and said, “So he might have learned the technique from my lost text? That bastard! Wait, no, I bought the text from your elder brother. He needs to compensate me!”

Liu He snorted, “The common practice of the black market is that if things are lost to raids, both parties will not hold the other party responsible. You can only blame your bad luck for losing the text. I can only tell you that the text might have ended up in Su Yu’s hands. You should be thankful I even bothered to tell you this much.”

Liu He stood up and said, “I already told you what I know. Do whatever you want with the information. But if you want the text back, you better be fast or it will be ruined after its willpower is drained. Don’t blame me for not reminding you if that ends up happening.”

Zheng Yunhui snorted and said, “Don’t even think of using this trick on me. Are you trying to instigate me to start a feud with Su Yu?”

Liu He said with derision, “Instigating you? Is there a need for that? I only dislike him so I’m telling you frankly that you should look for him to get your text back. That is me being frank, not me instigating you.”

“…”

Zheng Yunhui resisted the urge to swear. These fellows from the cultural research academy were all shameless. Even when they were scheming, they could do it openly and proudly.

Liu He didn’t even bother trying to explain himself. Instead, he bluntly said that yes, he was here to unleash Zheng Yunhui upon Su Yu.

While walking away, Liu He said, “That’s something worth 1,500 merit points. I know your Zheng Family is rich, but you still shouldn’t waste your money that way. Also, you need to know that at times, money alone won’t get you the willpower texts you need.”

“Scram!” Zheng Yunhui roared.

That caused Liu He to turn around and smile, “You look crazy. I like it. Zheng Yunhui, try to get into the Top 100 Ranking as early as you can. I look forward to beating you until you cry. How dare you act so arrogant in front of me?”

Zheng Yunhui’s face fell. Damn it! Was this person crazy? He kept having a feeling that everyone in this academy was crazy.

Jia Mingzhen, Xia Chan, Wan Mingze, Hu Qiusheng…

Not one of those fellows was normal.

Even Su Yu and Xia Huyou were somewhat abnormal as well. In short, since joining the academy, he had found that this place was filled with lunatics. No wonder his grandpa had always said that the cultural research academy was a gathering place of madmen.

A bunch of lunatics!

This Liu He was one of them. He was just instigating Zheng Yunhui to move against Su Yu a moment ago. Why did he decide to threaten Zheng Yunhui out of nowhere?

Zheng Yunhui was tired, but a wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. He lowered his voice and said, “Please do scram. Fuck this. It’s too early for you to get all cocky in front of me. I’m not even in the Top 100 Ranking yet. At worst, I’ll just concede and leave the Top 100 Ranking. What the fuck can you do to me after that? What a dumbass. Do you think you look cool saying all that to me?”

“…”

Liu He’s face stiffened.

Zheng Yunhui said, “What are you waiting for? Fuck off. Do you think you can threaten me with the Top 100 Ranking? Do you think I care? I can enter and leave and enter and leave again and again. What the fuck can you do about it? I’ll leave the moment you challenge me. What can you do? An old student like you is threatening a new student like me? And you actually feel proud doing it? Just wait until I reach the Infinite Strength Realm through my physical cultivation. I’ll punch you to death, you piece of shit.”

“…”

At that moment, Liu He suddenly realized that there really was nothing he could do to Zheng Yunhui. He could only smile before leaving with his teeth clenched.

Fine. He lost. Since that fellow was so shameless, what could he do about it?

After Liu He left, Zheng Yunhui spat on the ground before scratching his head, “Should I go look for Su Yu? Would he give me the willpower text?”

Yeah, that was very unlikely. But Su Yu looked so honest and kind. Perhaps it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give it a try. After all, he had spent 1,000 merit points for that text. He was unwilling to give up on the text so easily.

Like Liu He said, the Zheng Family might be rich, but they still shouldn’t waste their money like that. Furthermore, the Skybreak Technique willpower text written by a Mountainsea was very rare.

“If I wait until he fully drains the text of willpower, it would be too late.”

Zheng Yunhui was feeling helpless. He knew that Liu He was trying to push him against Su Yu, but he had no choice but to follow Liu He’s plan. After all, he was unwilling to lose something he had paid 1,000 merit points for.

…

After returning from the grotto, Su Yu took a short rest in the research center before getting ready to attend the morning class. Right after he walked out of the research center, he recalled something. He had forgotten to feed the fellows in the prison zone.

“How many days have it been?”

Su Yu blinked. He recalled that he had not fed those creatures even once. It was the 4th when he was introduced to the prison zone. And it was already the 9th.

“Forget it. It has only been a few days. I can feed them after class.”

He had been too busy recently so he had completely forgotten about the creatures. He hadn’t even found any time to visit Zhao Li. His martial uncle had asked him to get closer to Zhao Li, but he really didn’t have the time for that. He needed to work on his acupoints, Divine Characters, and classes…

If it wasn’t for the fact that he lacked money, he would rather stay in the research center and seclude himself for a few months in cultivation. He walked while thinking. Suddenly, someone appeared before him.

He recognized the other person so he nodded and greeted, “Good morning, Student Zheng.”

“Just call me Zheng Yunhui.”

Zheng Yunhui went straight to the point, “Su Yu, I have a question.”

“Yes?”

“I lost a Skybreak Technique willpower text written by a Mountainsea in the black market not long ago.”

Su Yu’s heart thumped.

Holy shit! The buyer was here! He had not told anyone about the text. His teacher was probably the only person who knew a little about his text. How did Zheng Yunhui learn of it?

“Liu He told me.” Zheng Yunhui seemed to know what Su Yu was thinking. He did not bother trying to hide anything for Liu He. “He said you have the text. Is that true, Su Yu?”

Su Yu gave it some thought and concluded that it would be pointless to deny. He smiled and said, “Yes. I got a Skybreak Technique willpower text through luck. But Student Zheng, there is no name on that text. And it wasn’t something someone bought from the academy so there is no official record. Do you think that I’ll give it to you because you’re claiming that it is yours? Even if I’m stupid, I’m not that stupid.”

Su Yu earnestly said, “Put yourself in my shoes. If you pick up something like this, would you give it away? If there is a record to prove that it is yours, things would be different. But there is no record.”

Zheng Yunhui felt distressed. He knew this would happen. Like Su Yu said, that text did not come from an official channel. It was pointless even if he knew Su Yu had it.

After thinking about it, Zheng Yunhui said, “I already paid 1,000 merit points to order that text. It was priced at 1,500 merit points. You must have studied it several times already. If you’re willing to return it to me now, I am willing to pay you the remaining 500 merit points. In all honesty, you only need to study it a few times. It won’t be that useful even if you study it more.”

“500 merit points?”

Su Yu hesitated slightly and said, “How about this? I’ll rent it to you for 100 merit points per read.”

“…”

Zheng Yunhui was stunned.

What a genius. Damn it! This kid was actually a genius businessman! 100 merit points per read? What a good idea!
