Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 531: Out Of Seclusion-Hint (2)

Chapter 531: Out Of Seclusion, Hint (2)

Old Nie was speechless. After a long while, he asked, “How many acupoints have you discovered?”

“346.”

“Kid…”

He looked at Su Yu with an odd gaze. The kid had actually discovered 34 more acupoints than the academy. This signified that the kid definitely knew some extinct or secret cultivation methods. No, the kid definitely knew a lot of them. The 34 extra acupoints might have been gathered from numerous cultivation methods.

This kid was truly quite terrifying.

Against an opponent like Su Yu, when you thought that he was a Sky Sunder Saber user, he would surprise you with the Thousand Mountain Art. When you thought that he was a Thousand Mountain Art user, he would surprise you with the War God Art…

Different cultivation methods would have different circulation pathways and acupoints. Thus, they would also have different methods of execution.

You might think that he was stronger when punching, but he would tell you that he was better at kicking.

Someone like Su Yu would basically be a cultivator with no weakness. This was how terrifying someone with 320 acupoints was.

“Do you mind telling me the 346 acupoints? I’ll try to look around for any acupoints that you do not yet know.”

Su Yu hurriedly expressed his gratitude. As for the matter of leaking his known acupoints…what was the big deal? The academy had never hidden the fact that they knew 312 acupoints. Nor had the Xia Family hidden that they knew 322 acupoints. But could you open those acupoints?

A normal person, no, even a freak like Hu Qiusheng, no, even a super freak in physical cultivation like Zhou Hao, would take 3 days to open 1 acupoint. To open 360 acupoints, he would need to take 3 or 4 years.

And Zhou Hao was probably one of the fastest acupoint cultivators alive. People with a slightly inferior level of talent would require four to five years. And those with even weaker talent might be stuck for decades or even an entire life. Who would actually try to open so many acupoints?

After looking at Su Yu’s acupoint chart, Old Nie had a look of grief. The kid was already aware of all the acupoints he knew. This felt terrible. He was unable to provide the kid with anything new.

“I think it would be very difficult for you to get 360 acupoints.”

Old Nie shook his head. It would be extremely difficult. Su Yu did not seem too worried. He had already opened almost 100 pages in his golden book. But a lot of the abilities and cultivation methods on those pages were left untested. At worst, he would test them out one by one.

When converting a non-human cultivation method to a human cultivation method, some special acupoints could be discovered. These were the acupoints that were rarely used by the human race. In fact, this was how he had discovered a lot of his acupoints.

But this method would be expensive. So be it. It was just some money. He reckoned he would receive the merit points promised to him by the Zhang Family after this. He had not asked for the money before entering seclusion. At worst, he would give all the money to Xia Huyou and buy more blood essence.

After a short chat, Su Yu prepared to leave. At this time, Old Nie said, “Su Yu, what if the human body has more than 360 acupoints? What if the 360 acupoints you eventually find belong to different systems?”

Su Yu sank into thought with a frown. After a short moment, he decisively said, “I’ll give up. I can’t waste my time looking for 360 more acupoints. In truth, I have a feeling that 360 is the maximum number. If there are more, I would have discovered more than this by now.”

He probably knew even more cultivation methods than the Xia Family. He was probably near the maximum number at this point. Would he even be able to find more? It was the same case for the apertures he knew. Old Nie nodded and said nothing else.

…

After bidding Old Nie farewell, Su Yu exhaled deeply and left.

He was finally a fourth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator.

He had fused 64 acupoints, allowing him to unleash the strength of 160 acupoints with those 64 acupoints. Including the remaining 80 acupoints of the Sky Sundering Saber that he had yet to fuse and the acupoints of his auxiliary techniques, he would be able to unleash the strength of over 300 acupoints at once.

One could say that he was probably unrivaled within the Infinite Strength Realm. And this unrivaled was applicable even when compared to the freaks. For Su Yu, it was honestly pointless to compare himself to ordinary students.

“Acupoint fusion, willpower text…”

He would do things one step at a time. If he really couldn’t find 360 acupoints, he would shift his focus to willpower texts. Of course, acupoint fusion would grant him a faster increase in strength. And his overall aim was to focus on whichever path that would grant him a faster growth.

As of late, he had not progressed much in his aperture cultivation. He had only opened 106 apertures. Over a month after leaving the Willpower Grotto, he had only opened a few new apertures.

“Why do I feel like a fake cultural researcher?

Su Yu gave himself a mocking smile. Everyone else was focusing on willpower, but he had been focusing on his acupoints. He threw that thought to the back of his mind and walked out of the Grotto District. He was greeted by a brightly lit academy.

Festive lanterns and banners could be seen everywhere.

The prefecture’s anniversary was tomorrow. He wondered how his father was doing. His father had left in April. It had already been seven months since then. How were his teachers doing? They had been away for over a month. They had probably entered the Allheaven Battlefield by now.

“I should send the acupoint fusion method to my teachers as well. But what a pity that…”

He couldn’t trust anyone. If the method was leaked during delivery, it would be very troublesome.

Perhaps he should find some time to take a trip to the Allheaven Battlefield and see his father. He was now as strong as some Skysoars already. He would probably be fine even if he went to the Allheaven Battlefield as long as he stayed within the human race’s territory there.

As he walked, his eyes suddenly flickered. A group of cloaked individuals had appeared ahead of him.

“What a coincidence, Brother Su!”

It was Xia Qing’s voice. Acting like this was a chance encounter, she joyfully introduced, “Everyone, this is Brother Su, the strongest newcomer in our academy. I have been wanting to introduce him to all of you for a while, but everyone has been too busy to meet up so I have never found the chance to do so. This is such a great coincidence.”

She said to Su Yu, “Brother Su, these are some of the students from the Foreign Students Faculty…”

“Nice to meet you!” Su Yu had a friendly smile as he said, “You are all guests from afar. Please forgive me for slighting you. If I had known that we would meet here today, I would have prepared a place for us to sit down and have some tea instead of standing here in the middle of the road.”

Xia Qing smiled, “If Brother Su doesn’t mind, we can sit down together now and grab some tea.”

A vexed look suddenly appeared on her face as she said, “Wait, forget that. This would be bad for you if anyone sees this. Because of me, you were embroiled in a big scandal previously. Since there are so many people around, we might attract even more trouble for you.”

She even took a few steps back after saying that, trying to show that she really wasn’t that close to Su Yu. But she was doing it in a way that made them look even more guilty because of how deliberate it seemed.

Su Yu was somewhat speechless. Did they think that he was brainless?

This was the entrance of the Grotto District. This was a very busy area. Just by having a chat with him here, he would not be able to clean his reputation. It would only be taken as proof that his relationship was indeed good with the foreign students. What was the point of adding this little act on top of that?

Wasn’t it tiring to keep acting all the time? It was likely that they had been waiting for more information from him. Had they finally run out of patience? He had thrown a bait out at them not long ago without reeling them in. Were they getting impatient?

Su Yu smiled and said, “Don’t mind those ignorant fools. They can think what they want. I don’t care if they misunderstand me. And this isn’t even a misunderstanding. I stand by my words. We can’t make all races our enemies. Even if the human race is strong, we can’t do so. No matter how strong we are, we won’t last long if everyone else joins hands against us.”

Su Yu solemnly said, “Previously, someone tried to instigate me to challenge the foreign students in the top 100 to clear my name. Heh. These people are ridiculous.”

Su Yu shook his head, “Why do they insist on pushing our allies away? Either they harbor evil intentions or they are stupid.”

One of the cloaked individuals clapped and said, “Brother Su is indeed worthy of being a genius. Just this wisdom alone is something many people lack. To speak the truth, we honestly feel very helpless. We came here to strengthen our relationship with the human race. But when we arrived…we found that we weren’t welcomed.”

The speaker was a man. Or to be precise, it was a male beast. This fellow was hidden behind his cloak and mask, so Su Yu was unsure which race this person came from. It would also be impolite for him to blatantly scan this person.

Noticing the doubt on Su Yu’s face, that person said, “Please forgive me, Brother Su. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Mo He, from the iron antelope race.”

Su Yu hurriedly said, “So it’s a brother from the iron antelope race! Nice to meet you!”

He was only being polite. That was only a small race. Su Yu couldn’t even remember if their king was a Mountainsea or a Sunmoon. In any case, they were below the top 1,000 races. Any race in the top 1,000 would have at least a Sunmoon as the king.

Those outside of that would either have Sunmoons or Mountainseas as kings.

As for races ruled by Cloudbreach cultivators…those races had probably been exterminated long ago so there was no point in looking for one. Such a race could barely be found in the Allheaven Battlefield. Even if there were such races around, they would not dare to stay connected to the Allheaven Battlefield. These races would probably seal their tunnel right after discovering the Allheaven Battlefield.

The other individuals started introducing themselves as well. There was a fox and a bull among them. Oh, and there was also a race Su Yu was very familiar with, the iron-winged bird race.

Yes. Folll0w current novÊls on n/o/v/3l/b((in).(co/m)

There was an iron-winged bird among them.

Su Yu was quite speechless when he saw that fellow. Did that fellow know that previously, when he was too poor to use mountainbreak bull blood essence, he had been using the blood essence of that fellow’s race for his daily cultivation?

This was a curious meeting as the iron-winged bird race was supposed to be a hostile race. The human race wouldn’t be trading their blood essence so openly otherwise. What the hell was that?

They had actually accepted students from the iron-winged bird race as well? Was this proper? Wouldn’t these students go crazy when they saw the blood of their people being openly sold at the market?

Su Yu really couldn’t understand what Old Wan was thinking. It would be more understandable to bring in races like the cloud tigers. Their blood essence was also being sold in secret, but at least it wasn’t being done openly.
