Chapter 652: History’s Strongest Infinite Strength (1)

A dot of light flickered on Su Yu’s forehead.

Using the power of the blood essence, he started the process of acupoint opening. A large amount of source qi converged on him. But that was not enough. With a wave of his hand, a large amount of source qi liquid appeared, increasing the density of source qi around him.

But it was still not enough. This acupoint seemed to be linked to the other 359 acupoints, causing all those acupoints to madly absorb source qi as well. Su Yu transformed into a bottomless abyss that constantly devoured the source qi around him.

***

While Su Yu was opening his final acupoint, a large amount of source qi started converging around the Source Soul Research Center. The source qi swirled above the research center before descending as a stream. The stream was so thick that it almost looked like a dragon.

A short while later, Niu Baidao and Hu Xiansheng appeared. Looking at the gathering source qi in the air, Hu Xiansheng frowned and said, “Is this…a breakthrough?”

“Breakthrough?”

Niu Baidao frowned. Was that the case? But it didn’t look like it. Was this merely an acupoint opening process? He suspected that Su Yu might be opening his 360th acupoint. Would a phenomenon appear when someone opened the 360th acupoint?

If that were the case, how much more terrifying would it be during the kid’s breakthrough into the Invincible Realm? He could probably create a phenomenon that would spread over ten thousand kilometers.

Niu Baidao said nothing. He grabbed at the air, liquefying the source qi in the air before sending the drops of newly formed source qi liquid into the research center.

Meanwhile, the suanni and the mountaindrill bull were stealthily absorbing as much source qi as they could. Niu Baidao only gave the two a simple glance, causing both of them to shiver with fear.

But seeing that Niu Baidao was remaining silent, they decided to take a gamble and continue absorbing the source qi in the air. This was an incredibly rare chance. They couldn’t give up on it.

Seeing that more source qi was converging after he sent the source qi liquid into the research center, Niu Baidao sighed. It would seem like he had to use some of his precious resources this time.

With a wave of his hand, numerous drops of source qi liquid rained down on the research center. After doing that, he mumbled, “We should really try to poach Zhao Li. That way, we can get the Source Qi Secret Grotto as well. I wonder if Old Wang’s character can be transformed into a similar grotto after his death.”

Hu Xiansheng’s face twitched. Old Wang was a vice principal of the academy. That was also a Sunmoon, but he rarely appeared in public. More importantly, that geezer was still alive. Why was Old Niu thinking of what to do with Old Wang’s character after Old Wang’s death already? That was too imaginative of him.

“Is Su Yu the one absorbing source qi?”

Hu Xiansheng said, “He’s absorbing way too much.”

This was enough source qi to stuff even a Skysoar full.

Inside the cultivation room.

Su Yu was completely focused on absorbing the source qi and source qi liquid around him. Having sensed the large injection of source qi from outside the research center, he could guess that someone was helping him. However, he could do nothing except continue his absorption.

And finally, the acupoint on his forehead opened fully.

Rumble!

His entire brain seemed to shake.

Then, a crimson flame symbol appeared on his forehead. That was the symbol of the original devil race. But the crimson flame only appeared for a split second before fading away.

All 360 acupoints had opened.

The acupoints that he had fused previously separated again. Then, one acupoint after another lit up. Then, they linked up with one another. The circulation path between these acupoints started rearranging itself.

Everything was happening automatically. Su Yu’s guess was correct. After opening 360 acupoints, there was no need for him to do anything. Those acupoints would link up with each other by themselves.

20 acupoints, 30 acupoints, 40 acupoints…

As more and more acupoints were linked, Su Yu’s aura rose. From the intensity of his aura, he did not look like an Infinite Strength cultivator at all. Rather, he resembled an ancient demon. As his aura erupted, the projection of a clump of flame appeared around him.

Wu Lan and the elderlies of the research center were all gathered outside the cultivation room. Even the water elemental and the shadow were there.

Su Yu was not visible to Wu Lan, but she could sense the powerful presence inside the room. She looked at Wen Zhong and asked in confusion, “Senior Brother Wen, is Su Yu the one inside this room?”

She was starting to doubt life. Even with a door between them, the presence inside the room was still giving her an extremely oppressive sensation. If it wasn’t for Wen Zhong’s support, even approaching the door would be difficult for her.

Wen Zhong’s eyes flickered as he nodded. He appeared both surprised and joyful. Even though he couldn’t see Su Yu, he could guess what had happened. After calming himself down, he said, “Yes. He is linking up the grand cycle of acupoints.”

As they spoke, the presence in the room continued growing stronger and stronger.

Jin Sheng exclaimed in amazement, “Senior Brother Wen, if the kid succeeds, his physical body will probably be as strong as a seven-forged body even before forging his body.”

The Skysoar Realm was the realm where one forged one’s body, transformed one’s blood, cleansed one’s marrow, and strengthened one’s bones. During that realm, one would undergo nine body forgings. Each forging would advance one by a stage.

Of course, like opening acupoints, the cultivation method and resources one used would also dictate the quality of one’s body after forging. For example, one would be able to forge one’s body twice per stage using the blood essence of divines and devils. At the peak Sunmoon Realm, such a person would be able to achieve eighteen forgings.

Thus, the results of this process would vary between individuals. Resources, talent, cultivation method, and time would all play a role in the amount of strength one could gain through this process.

Wen Zhong nodded in agreement. Su Yu was truly a terrifying youth. How was that a research genius? Bullshit. That was basically one of those warrior brutes. In Wen Zhong’s opinion, not even people like Huang Teng and Qin Fang were stronger than Su Yu at the same cultivation level.

“Will he enter the Skysoar Realm today?” Jin Sheng asked.

Wen Zhong shook his head, “I’m not sure. He might not necessarily have enough blood essence for that…”

“I thought he received a lot of blood essence from Great Qin?”

“It’s up to the kid himself. He has yet to decide on a body forging art. He can advance now if he wants, but he will probably be stuck at the first stage without a body forging art.”

Meanwhile, Su Yu was starting to sense something. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

His body had reached a point where it could step into the Skysoar Realm. Naturally, he did not proceed with the advancement. There was no need for that. All 360 of his acupoints had been linked together. And a brand new cultivation method was circulating by itself within his body.

The acupoints started fusing. He was fusing his acupoints in accordance with the new cultivation method. After scattering the acupoints he had fused previously, he had dropped back to the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm.

He was fusing his acupoints from scratch. This time, he felt an entirely different sensation when fusing his acupoints. When he tried to fuse 36 acupoints, he noted that he didn’t even have to do anything.

Those acupoints had come together by themselves, as though that was the most natural thing to do.

Noticing this, Su Yu recalled what Hu Qiusheng and the others had said back then. They speculated that all acupoints were merely the scattered parts of a singular original acupoint. And when one gathered all these acupoints, they would naturally come together again. That theory had been proven right.

“I see.”

For someone with 360 acupoints, the fusion art was pointless. With 360 acupoints, he could fuse 40 acupoints per stage at the Infinite Strength Realm. And that was exactly what happened.

Boom!

First-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

He was left with 321 acupoints, including the fused acupoint. How strong was he now? After fusing 40 acupoints, the strength of each acupoint was boosted to the level equivalent to 5 unfused acupoints. Back when he had fused only 16 acupoints, each acupoint merely had the strength of 2.5 unfused acupoints.

Thus, a single fused acupoint of his had the strength of 200 unfused acupoints. That basically granted his single fused acupoint the strength of a divine-grade martial technique. In the blink of an eye, 40 more acupoints were fused.

Second-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

Once again, Su Yu’s strength grew. He was left with 282 acupoints. The fusing process continued. More and more source qi liquid was exhausted.

Su Yu was left with no choice but to take out all the source qi liquid in his storage ring. Outside the research center, Niu Baidao was also gloomily supplying the research center with more source qi liquid. At the moment, the surrounding area was already under lockdown.

Just what in the world was Su Yu doing? Was he breaking through or what? Why was the source qi consumption so terrifying? Acupoint fusion was a process that required a large amount of source qi.

During the process, Su Yu’s body was being strengthened continuously. The strengthening was happening naturally without relying on a body forging art.

Fifth stage, sixth stage…

He continued growing rapidly. And before anyone knew it, he reached the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

Rumble!

Nine acupoints.

He was left with only nine acupoints in his body. An explosion of light erupted from his eyes as his aura spread out and smashed the walls around him apart. Each of his acupoints had the strength of 200 unfused acupoints. With 9 fused acupoints, Su Yu had gained the strength of 1,800 unfused acupoints.

A regular warrior with a heaven-grade cultivation method would only be able to muster the strength of roughly 400 acupoints at ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm. Upon breakthrough into the Skysoar Realm, one would be able to keep growing. With each forging, one’s strength would increase by about 10 percent. Only after reaching the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm would a regular warrior obtain the strength of around 1,000 acupoints. That was the path all warriors walked.

Of course, some people were capable of forging their bodies more times, resulting in an even greater increase in strength.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had gained the strength of 1,800 acupoints at the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm, surpassing even a ninth-stage Skysoar. His combat strength had reached a terrifying level.

Su Yu had a feeling that he was currently no weaker than he was when he had consumed the Cloudbreach blood essence previously. In short, he was already as strong as a Cloudbreach.

Compared to a proper Cloudbreach, he was lacking in terms of trump cards, speed, and physical strength. But he was already as strong as a Cloudbreach in terms of explosive strength.

Boom!

He threw a punch at the air, creating a loud rumble. He could feel his flesh trying to start the forging process. He was on the verge of advancing into the Skysoar Realm.

But Su Yu frowned. He did not intend to break through yet. Why should he break through so early? He hadn’t even decided on a body forging art. Sure, he already had a large collection of powerful forging arts, but he might not be able to find one that was suitable for him. There was no rush.

He decided to remain as a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator that could defeat a Cloudbreach. That was enough for him. It wasn’t like he was in a rush to break through and extend his lifespan.

Instead, with his current cultivation level, his enemies would continue underestimating him. Wouldn’t that be fun? Finally, he pushed the door open and stepped through it.

Wen Zhong was fine, but the instant Su Yu stepped out, Jin Sheng and the others instantly tensed up, as though they were facing a primordial demon. They all released their willpower instinctively before stepping backward, looking at Su Yu with shock.

Holy shit!

Freshly broken through, Su Yu had yet to fully withdraw his aura. Thus, his entire presence gave them an extremely dangerous sensation.

Wen Zhong was also greatly shocked. With great difficulty, he asked, “Did you succeed?”

“Yeah.” Su Yu nodded, “All 360 acupoints have been smoothly opened. My guess was right. The acupoints have automatically formed a grand cycle. What a pity that I still can’t find the source soul acupoint. But at this point, I’m already certain that it exists.”

Wen Zhong had more questions to ask, but Wu Lan interrupted him with a curious question, “Did you grow stronger again? Are you stronger than Liu Hong now?”

Su Yu said, “Liu Hong is already a Cloudbreach. And as a cultural researcher, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. It’s not appropriate to compare my combat strength against cultural researchers.”

It would be more accurate if his strength was compared against warriors.

After all, cultural researchers were capable of too many tricks. And some of these tricks might prove to be Su Yu’s counter. For example, Su Yu’s speed was still incomparable to some Skysoars that specialized in speed. He was more like a brute with nothing except physical strength.

If he was able to land a hit, he could blast even a Cloudbreach apart. If his opponent decided to focus on maintaining distance and was also capable of defending against his hammer, he would be left helpless.

Thus, Su Yu still didn’t have enough strength to kill a proper Cloudbreach in combat. He required something he could use to negate his opponent’s speed. His hammer was powerful enough to stun even Skysoars. As for Cloudbreaches, results would vary depending on who he faced.

Wen Zhong asked, “Is it possible to spread this cultivation method en masse?”

“I doubt so.” Su Yu said, “Only super geniuses with a lot of money can consider opening 360 acupoints. First, you need to cultivate the Soul Source Acupoint Opening Art and open 126 acupoints. Next, you need to use use the same art to open even more acupoints. And you will need a lot of money for your cultivation…”

After a short calculation, Su Yu said, “You will need around 50,000 merit points per person.”

“…”

Silence descended.

Screw this!

50,000 merit points?

Merit points, not anping dollars!

Fuck!

Su Yu continued, “And they will probably take more time than me. Maybe they can aim for three years?”

Su Yu’s fast cultivation speed was not only due to his talent, but it was also due to the sheer amount of resources he had used.

Furthermore, thanks to his book, he was already cultivating at the speed of a Great Strength cultivator at the Source Opening Realm. And at the Great Strength Realm, he cultivated at the speed of the Infinite Strength Realm. And at the Infinite Strength Realm, he cultivated at the speed of the Skysoar Realm.

Meanwhile, everyone else would have to cultivate at their original speed. Thus, it would take them no less than three years to reach his current level.

“Three years?”

Wen Zhong and the others were quite surprised. That was actually not long at all. If that was all it took to produce someone with 360 acupoints…

At that thought, Wen Zhong asked, “Since you’re going to start selling your Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art soon, are you not afraid that others will try to open 360 acupoints as well?”

Su Yu smiled and said, “For now, I have no plans of telling anyone the locations of the final acupoints. Of course, those interested are free to experiment themselves.”

The acupoints at the forehead, spine, and backside could not be found so easily even if one knew there were acupoints there. It was fine to take the risk and search for the acupoint at the backside. But if one did the same with the forehead acupoint, well, a lot of people would die in the process.

And Su Yu did not intend to tell anyone the locations of those acupoints for now. It wasn’t like the commoners could benefit from those acupoints. Instead, those large families were the ones who would benefit since they had the money to open those acupoints.

Su Yu couldn’t find a reason to benefit those people. Thus, he wouldn’t tell anyone the locations of those acupoints for now. That would only change in the future when he found someone he wanted to teach. He said nothing else and started going downstairs.

When he opened the front door, he saw that both Niu Baidao and Hu Xiansheng were waiting outside. He flashed them a smile and said, “Thanks, Principal and Faculty Head. Please come in for a drink.”

He stayed completely silent about what just happened. What? 360 acupoints? There was no such thing. And since he wasn’t taking the initiative to talk about his 360 acupoints, the two old men would find it inappropriate to ask as well.
