Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 458: Silly Child (2)

Chapter 458: Silly Child (2)

Hu Qiusheng’s heart thumped, “Are you serious?”

“This is only speculation.” Su Yu smiled, “Before starting the research, I need to first establish a hypothesis. Only then can I start working hard to figure out whether the hypothesis is right or wrong.”

Hu Qiusheng inhaled deeply and asked, “Did Teacher Hong or Teacher Bai come up with this hypothesis?”

Su Yu rolled his eyes, “It’s my own hypothesis. This is the feeling I get after opening 300 acupoints. My guts are telling me that such an acupoint exists.”

“300 acupoints…”

Hu Qiusheng did not know what to say about that. Apart from the first batch of human experts from over 300 years ago, had any other human ever opened as many acupoints? He was unsure. Perhaps there were, but he had certainly not heard of them.

“Su Yu, if such an acupoint really exists, how come our predecessors have not discovered it?”

Su Yu rolled his eyes, “How am I supposed to know that? Perhaps they have been withholding the information. Perhaps nobody has found it. Perhaps the requirements to discover that acupoint are too strict. For example, you need 300 acupoints and 100 apertures. Or it can be even stricter. Acupoints are easy to open. But can you say the same about apertures?”

“If it’s really so hard to open, will you be able to make opening this acupoint a common practice even if you can open it?”

Su Yu said, “Brother Hu, are you stupid? If we can really discover that acupoint, we can try to let someone open that acupoint as their first acupoint.

“For centuries, the human race has started the path of cultivation by opening the nine basic acupoints. Only then would they be able to start cultivating for real. But that isn’t the case for the other races. A lot of them can start cultivating right away. A popular theory suggests that the human race is unsuitable for cultivation, hence the difficulty. But that’s bullshit. If the human race is unsuitable for cultivation, how can we produce so many Invincibles? How can we grow into a top 10 race?”

“Therefore, I believe that we simply lack understanding of the human body. Imagine this. If we can find this acupoint, our children will be able to open it as their first acupoint. They no longer need to open their nine basic acupoints passively before they can start cultivating. How big would this be for humanity?”

“…”

Hu Qiusheng trembled. After a while, he spoke with a hoarse voice, “The number of human cultivators will skyrocket. The ability to skip the Source Opening Realm will allow a lot of people to start cultivating at their prime.

“Students can start cultivating at the elementary school or the secondary school. By the time they enter an academy at 18, they might have already reached the Great Strength, Infinite Strength, or even the Skysoar Realm.”

Su Yu smiled, “Exactly.”

Hu Qiusheng inhaled deeply and said, “I have never thought of this before. How about this? I’ll go back and gather some information. I’ll try to find out if anyone in the various academies or even the Knowledge Seeking Realm has researched this topic before. You have reminded me of something. It isn’t that no human expert has ever thought of skipping the Source Opening Realm. I suspect that some people have already researched this topic before. Perhaps we can take the past research as our reference…”

Hu Qiusheng did not realize it, but he was starting to use “we” and “us” when talking about them.

Su Yu laughed. Had this fellow decided to join his research center? Hu Qiusheng was someone from the Hu Family. And the Hu Family was a powerful family. Administrator Hu was a Sunmoon expert. And he was a veteran Sunmoon cultivator, not a fresh Sunmoon.

Hu Qiusheng suddenly looked at Su Yu with an odd gaze and asked, “Su Yu, are you sure you have never read about this before? Have you thought of this all by yourself?”

That was a truly terrifying hypothesis. Even if they had no proof yet, that hypothesis represented a massive research project. There was a lot of value and significance behind such a research subject.

Su Yu smiled, “This is an idea that will naturally come to someone who has opened a lot of acupoints. Someone who has opened so few acupoints like you will naturally fail to understand that feeling.”

“…”

That was mean. Hu Qiusheng felt like coughing blood.

Su Yu continued being mean, “You have decent talent in cultivation, but you are not the type of people I’m looking for. Brother Hu, don’t blame me for being honest, but in my eyes, someone with a good talent in cultivation can be a warrior or a character master, but that person might not be able to be a good cultural researcher.”

Yes. He was saying that even if Hu Qiusheng wanted to join, he might not agree to it.

Hu Qiusheng did not mind the honesty. He said, “Up until now, I have mastered 77 languages. I have been studying since I was a boy, and I have read over 1,082 different cultivation manuals. Of course, these are all normal texts instead of willpower texts. I have once modified and improved a cultivation method. It is a high-tier yellow-grade method. Initially, it only allows you to open 27 acupoints. I was able to reduce the acupoints into 26 acupoints while retaining the same level of power.”

Su Yu was surprised.

Modifying a cultivation method? Reducing the number of acupoints required for the same output of strength?

Just because the number of acupoints was reduced, it didn’t mean that the cultivation method would decline in quality. Some cultivation methods were so terrible that even with 27 acupoints, they might only be able to display the prowess of 26 acupoints. One of the acupoints was basically pointless to have. In such a situation, reducing the number of required acupoints would basically save more time for the cultivator without reducing the strength the cultivator could gain from the cultivation method.

77 different languages and 1,082 cultivation methods…This fellow was truly worthy of being a member of a powerful family.

And he was only 18 years old. Even if he started reading when he was 6 years old, he would still need to master at least 5 languages and read 90 cultivation manuals per year. That was very impressive!

Su Yu’s eyes lit up as he said, “Then you are definitely qualified to join my research center. My future research center, I mean.”

Hu Qiusheng sighed, “What a pity. I think you should focus on research. Just ignore the factional conflicts. If that’s not enough, we can wait until we produce some results from our research. At that time, I can get my grandpa to recommend you to further your studies at the Knowledge Seeking Realm.”

“Let’s talk about that next time.”

A lot of people had been giving him the same advice for the past few days. Su Yu was actually quite surprised. Had he really changed so much? Even Hu Qiusheng was telling him to avoid those conflicts. Prior to this, Hu Qiusheng had never mentioned something like that.

And the two of them weren’t even close. Or perhaps…this was Administrator Hu’s message? Su Yu was unsure. Would Administrator Hu even pay attention to a nobody like him?

…

After parting with Hu Qiusheng, Su Yu started making plans for the future. His top priority was his cultivation. He also had to found his research center. And he would continue creating trouble for the single character faction. He also needed to find a chance to leave the academy for some treasure hunting. The Divine Skywing Sect’s stash was still waiting for him somewhere out there.

That was a large sect with a Sunmoon expert as the sect master. The sect master had been killed. Even now, his corpse was still in the Myriad Race Pit. Su Yu still needed to find a way to gain access to that corpse. His last resort would be to get Xia Huyou’s help.

While Su Yu was busy making his future plans.

Eighteenth Secondary School. Rear mountain.

The rear mountain had turned into a forbidden zone. The teachers and students of the school had been avoiding that place. All of them knew that a few experts had arrived there recently.

After yet another character rearrangement session with Liu Wenyan, Bai Feng exhaled deeply and said, “Martial Uncle, why do you still have so many characters after detonating so many of them? You must have been too free all these years. Have you been spending all your time forming new characters?”

Liu Wenyan didn’t even deign to give that a response. After sensing his characters that were much less disorderly than before, he said, “I only have eight of your grandteacher’s characters left.”

All eight of them were human characters. And all of them were Sunmoon characters. In short, as a mere Skysoar, he had eight Sunmoon characters in his possession.

Bai Feng nodded, “Martial Uncle, this is actually an opportunity for you to fuse your characters and reassemble your character technique. It’s not a bad thing that you have detonated some of them. That way, you have almost fully cleansed your sea of willpower of grandteacher’s influence. Otherwise, the repelling force of your characters would be too strong for you to even fuse your characters.”

“Reassemble…”

Liu Wenyan nodded, “My previous character technique has the form of a sword. Meanwhile, your grandteacher’s character technique is an axe. My character technique has been suppressed because his character technique is too strong, forcing me to use an axe instead of a sword. But axes are really too ugly…”

“…”

Bai Feng was speechless. This martial uncle of his loved to call him unfilial. But what was this? He was talking trash about the fifth principal’s axe! The fifth principal was his teacher! That was an axe that had killed even Invincibles!

“What’s the new form of your character technique, Martial Uncle?”

“Naturally, it’swhy should I tell you?”

Liu Wenyan didn’t even feel like answering the question. What was the point?

He said, “I still can’t use all the characters. My characters are all at the second tier so the gap between my characters and my teacher’s characters is too big. At most, I can unleash the combat strength of a ninth-stage Skysoar.”

“Your willpower and apertures are already strong enough. You only lack characters of sufficient tier. But with powerful willpower, you won’t take long to grow your characters into the third tier.”

Third-tier characters were basically Cloudbreach characters.

According to Bai Feng’s estimation, Liu Wenyan would probably take around a year to achieve that. And the moment Liu Wenyan could push his characters into the fourth tier, he would be able to easily enter the Mountainsea Realm.

Thus, he would definitely be able to enter the Mountainsea Realm within three years. And he only needed to rely on his own characters. As for the eight Sunmoon characters left in his sea of willpower, he could still use them in emergencies to unleash the prowess of a Sunmoon.

But he couldn’t keep it up for long as his sea of willpower was still not durable enough to withstand that level of strength. And his physical body was also not strong enough.

Liu Wenyan nodded, “I’m in no rush. I am confident I can enter the Mountainsea Realm in three years. But you’re a problem. You need to regain your strength as soon as possible. The Vanguard Regiment isn’t an easy place to survive.”

Bai Feng appeared indifferent. He was in no rush.

He changed the topic and asked, “Martial Uncle, we are all leaving and my teacher is entering seclusion. What will happen to Su Yu?”

Liu Wenyan smiled, “It’s fine. I already told some old friends to watch over him. He should be fine. Just focus on your own recovery. Your own student is going to catch up to you soon. Your teacher said that the kid has defeated even a few peak Mental Tempering Students. I think he will be able to reach the Skysoar Realm soon.”

Bai Feng was feeling rather gloomy. He had already left the academy. Why was the kid still provoking him from out of sight? He really needed to start working on his cultivation level.

After a short chat, Liu Wenyan said, “You should try to enter the Luminous Domain Mansion during its next opening as well. I have never been there, but your teacher was there before. He told me that the Luminous Domain Mansion was most likely something left behind by a cultural researcher Invincible. And that might be a human. Also, that person might even be an existence beyond the Invincible Realm. Of course, I have never been there myself so I don’t know for sure.”

Liu Wenyan solemnly said, “Don’t delay your cultivation. Although your disassembly method is good, it might not be the best way to go around it. Sure, with the help of your disassembly method, I can probably reach the Sunmoon Realm as well. But the Invincible Realm will still be an issue.”

Bai Feng nodded. There was no helping it. He had yet to encounter a true human Eternal character so he had nothing to test his theories on or draw references from.

He would only be more confident about his theories if he could study a proper human Eternal character. Without true confirmation, everything they did was akin to a gamble.Visjt n𝒐velbin(.)c𝒐m for new updates

Bai Feng looked in the direction of the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. What a pity. He would probably not be around to see the kid entering the Skysoar Realm. Otherwise, the kid would be an excellent research subject.

“Eternal character?”

He muttered to himself as he looked in the academy’s direction. There was one thing he had never told anyone else.

He suspected that…Su Yu had inherited a true Eternal character.

A human Eternal character.

That was his guess. That silly student of his had been using the blood character as a scapegoat, but that was bullshit. He had seen even Sunmoon characters. After all, Liu Wenyan had some in his sea of willpower.

And not even Sunmoon characters were as incredible as the so-called blood character. Thus, it was probable that Su Yu had actually inherited an Eternal character. And it was very likely that this was a human character. That was the only explanation for Su Yu’s inability to form non-human characters.

“That silly kid has exposed too much to me. I hope he can be more careful moving forward.”

What a silly kid.

Bai Feng had simply not bothered with exposing the kid. Did the kid really think that he could be fooled so easily?
