Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 520: Genius Researcher (1)

Chapter 520: Genius Researcher (1)

Silence.

Shock.

Only sounds of heavy breathing could be heard.

They had all witnessed it with their own eyes.

The massive repelling force had vanished.

Zhao Ming, the strongest individual in the room, had his eyes and mouth wide open in stupefaction. Was he dreaming? This must be a dream, right? Yeah, he was probably too tired. That was why he was dreaming about something so ridiculous.

As for Xia Huyou and the others, they were so shocked they didn’t even know how to express it anymore. Nothing could express what they were feeling.

Suddenly, Xia Huyou gravely said, “Seal this place.”

He looked at Su Yu and the others before solemnly saying, “This matter is of utmost importance. Su Yu, I’ll…”

At that moment, a commanding aura actually started appearing on this son of the prefect. This matter was too big. He could not allow this cultivation method to leak. That would create a lot of trouble.

In fact, the moment news of this cultivation method spread outside the Human Realm, it might even spark a massive war. The myriad races would not give up on trying to weaken humanity and snatch this cultivation method. It would be acceptable if the cultivation method would only remove a small portion of the repelling force. But this fellow had…removed all of it! This was too terrifying.

Su Yu appeared indifferent. He smiled, “It’s not that bad. To be blunt, the number of acupoints you can open still depends on your talent. Some people only have the potential to open 36 acupoints. If you let someone like that cultivate this method and use all his potential on it, what’s the point? That person will take longer time opening acupoints than fusing acupoints.”

Something like this was only useful for geniuses. It was meant to save the time of geniuses.

Xia Huyou was still unable to calm himself. He said, “I’ll be blunt as well. The future of humanity has always been reliant on these geniuses. And this cultivation method will benefit a lot of geniuses.”

Those who were only capable of opening 36 or 72 acupoints never had much chance to enter the Mountainsea Realm anyway. But for those capable of opening 108 or 144 acupoints, these were the future Mountainseas and Sunmoons.

With this cultivation method, even if these people did not switch to a better cultivation method, they would still save a lot of time. And that was only considering the time they would save at the Infinite Strength Realm. What about the Mountainsea Realm? Vissit n𝒐velbin(.)c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels

This cultivation method might even be useful for Mountainseas. And anything greatly useful for Mountainseas would be a big deal. The human race would gain a large number of Mountainseas in a short amount of time.

Su Yu said, “It’s not that crazy. I know you’re worried. But I doubt this thing will be this helpful to Mountainseas. With only 36 acupoints, it wouldn’t be able to suppress the massive repelling force of Mountainseas. Sure, it will still help, but it wouldn’t completely remove the repelling force.”

“But—”

Xia Huyou wanted to keep arguing, but Su Yu waved and said, “I won’t be disseminating this method.”

“But…”

Xia Huyou looked at everyone. Finally, his gaze stopped at Zhou Hao. He announced, “Before long, the Xia Family will perform an in-depth investigation on all of you. Since Su Yu has allowed all of you to learn this cultivation method, I believe you are aware of the significance behind this method.”

Su Yu smiled and asked, “So are you telling the Xia Family this?”

Xia Huyou sank into silence. After a short moment, he nodded, “Yes. Su Yu, I know what you mean. You believe that this won’t leak if only the people here know about it. Letting the Xia Family know might escalate this matter. But…I am duty-bound to let them know about this.

“Not only that, but I wish to teach my father and second granduncle this cultivation method as well. Of course, we won’t teach anyone this method without your permission. You will still have full control over it.”

He could no longer be bothered with hiding his identity. This matter was too important. He had not expected this. He really hadn’t. A research center that seemed like a joke had produced such a shocking result in only one week.

Su Yu smiled, “Sure, I won’t stop you. But if you do this, the multiple character faction’s debt to Marquis Xia will need to be erased as the payment.”

“…”

Xia Huyou stared at Su Yu. That was a debt of 300,000 merit points.

Erasing it just like that?

“Sure.”

He nodded, “But if we have to erase the debt, we need the right to teach this method.”

“Su Yu smiled, “The right to teach it? Nope. You can only teach it to the ones from the main branch. Nobody else can learn it. I can only give you partial rights for this cultivation method. Of course, you can do what you want after I die. You can even take credit for the creation of this method. I don’t care. But as long as I’m alive, you can’t teach it to anyone outside of the main branch without my agreement.”

Yes, he would only agree to give the Xia Family partial rights for the cultivation method. Getting full rights for only 300,000 merit points? Dream on!

After a short silence, Xia Huyou nodded, “My father or second granduncle might talk more about this with you. Let’s set this aside for now.”

He then looked at the others. Hu Qiusheng was from Administrator Hu’s family. He could be trusted. Wu Jia was Su Yu’s senior sister. Not trusting her was out of the question. Wu Lan was from the Wu Family, a powerful and influential family local to Great Xia.

Zheng Yunhui…well, this fellow looked completely dumbstruck. Xia Huyou shouted, “Zheng Yunhui, if you dare to leak this, I will have your grandpa personally take your life!”

“…”

Zheng Yunhui felt wronged.

Fuck!

He hadn’t even said anything! Why was he being shouted at?

He was only displaying his shock to them. He was only busy thinking that the 20,000 merit points he had spent to join this research center was the best investment ever. One ought to remember that even the 20,000 merit points had been earned with Su Yu’s help. He was busy praising his own incredible talent in investment.

He had practically gotten such an amazing cultivation method for free, even with the limitation of teaching it to anyone else. Furthermore, Su Yu had also promised to let the Zheng Family have the Pure Source Art.

Looking at Su Yu, Zheng Yunhui’s eyes were shining brightly. How was this a human? This was money in human form! No, this was a tree that could grow money on it! Xia Huyou moved on to Jiang Mu and Zhou Hao.

He said, “My father is Xia Longwu.”

The two said nothing.

Xia Huyou’s usual friendly expression was nowhere to be seen. With a frosty voice, he said, “I don’t know what Su Yu is thinking. I don’t understand why he trusts the two of you…”

Su Yu curled his lips. What a stupid thing to say. He didn’t really trust those two that much either. He simply didn’t care if this cultivation method was leaked. In truth, this was something that could increase the strength of humanity as a whole. But for Su Yu himself, it was merely an auxiliary cultivation method.

It wasn’t something too miraculous. And it would not benefit those above the Mountainsea Realm. It would not encroach upon the realm of Invincibles.

Mountainseas were experts. They could be considered hegemons. But they were not strong enough to determine the direction of the Myriad Realms. Only Invincibles were capable of that.

Thus, this cultivation method could be important, but it wouldn’t be so important that it would drive the Invincibles crazy. A genius would still be able to enter the Mountainsea Realm even without this cultivation method. It would only allow them to enter that realm a few years in advance.

That was naturally not Xia Huyou’s thought. He solemnly said, “The two of you need to be aware that just because Su Yu trusts you does not mean that I trust you. It also doesn’t mean that the Xia Family trusts you. It’s not that we don’t want humanity to get stronger, but some things can’t be spread easily. A lot of variables need to be taken into consideration before we do that.

“Why do the War Shrine and Knowledge Seeking Realm keep so many cultivation methods to themselves? I believe all of you understand why. Humanity is not truly united. We have some parasites among us.”

“Apart from that, the myriad races are also staring at us hungrily. They don’t want to see us grow. They don’t want us to get the strength to dominate the Myriad Realms. Therefore, they will constantly disturb our peace and obstruct our growth. If we really need to fight, the human race is not afraid of them. But releasing something that should increase our strength only to lose more strength is not worth it.”

“The powerful races like the divines and the devils are afraid that we will grow too strong. Every now and then, they will find some excuse to suppress us. It’s not that we don’t want to strike back, but we also need to consider the consequences. There are a lot of things that can’t be done just because we want to do it.”

With a stern tone, Jiang Mu said, “We understand that. But we have not expected to be allowed to see something like this so easily.”

He was really very surprised. Wasn’t Su Yu a tad bit too generous? He was showing them this cultivation method so easily?

They didn’t even know what to feel anymore. They were touched, but they were also feeling rather helpless. This fellow should have hidden a part of the cultivation method, right? Why did he show them everything? They fully understood Xia Family’s worries.

Zhou Hao looked at Xia Huyou and Su Yu before giving a simple reply, “Not going to spread it.”

“…”

That was the only thing he had to say. He honestly didn’t know what else he could say.

Xia Huyou was feeling very helpless. Su Yu was the creator, not him. That bastard Su Yu should have been more careful with something like this, right? Why was he exposing his cultivation method so easily?

Xia Huyou was so infuriated he felt like he was getting a heart attack.

Su Yu completely ignored the furious Xia Huyou. He looked at Zhou Hao and asked, “How do you feel? Was all the repelling force suppressed?”

“Not all, but the remaining force is negligible.”

“Indeed.” Su Yu sighed, “The repelling force will only grow stronger at the Skysoar, Cloudbreach, and Mountainsea Realms. The power of 36 acupoints won’t be enough to suppress the repelling force of a Mountainsea. That will require at least 72 acupoints. What a pity. I doubt I can produce one with 72 acupoints.”

“…”

Silence, yet again.

Xia Huyou and the others stared at Su Yu. They were on the verge of getting a collective heart attack.

Big Brother.

Grandpa.

Please. Was he actually looking down on this cultivation method?

Was this bastard done showing off?

Suddenly, Wu Lan said, “If we’re not teaching it to anyone, do we still announce the name of this cultivation method to the public?”

“…”

Xia Huyou was going crazy. Was that even the point? Why was she worried about something like that?
