Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 893: Su Yu’s Name (1)

The human geniuses had all left. The Skyrend Valley had been semi-crippled. The number one expert in the Heaven Index, Mo Duona, was chasing after them. The people in the area had yet to recover from their shock.

One of them looked at the dragon in the sky and said, “Lord Long Zhan, is that human really Cui Lang?”

They were unfamiliar with both Su Yu and Cui Lang. But there were still some obvious differences between the two. Just moments ago, someone had said that Su Yu was less than twenty years old.

That made all the difference in the world. Cui Lang was thirty-five. Su Yu was less than twenty. According to how the Heavenly Hunt Index worked, Su Yu would be qualified to at least ascend to the very top of the Earth Index after killing Lei Jue.

Huang Teng had once killed a second-stage Mountainsea as a fifth-stage Cloudbreach. But he was twenty-eight. He was nine years older than Su Yu. Furthermore, Lei Jue was someone who had once killed a first-stage Mountainsea. Thus, as far as the index was concerned, Lei Jue could also be considered a Mountainsea.

Su Yu could either take first place in the Earth Index or enter the Heaven Index and squeeze Qin Fang out if Cui Lang was really Su Yu.

Long Zhan ignored the question and continued staring into the distance. As a genius of the celestial dragon race, he was a first-stage Mountainsea capable of killing someone above his level. He once killed a sixth-stage Mountainsea. But that did not place him too high in the index. He was only able to reach the eleventh place of the Earth Index.

The index took a lot of aspects into considerating when ranking the names in it. Strength alone would not be enough to place one in the index. Otherwise, Mo Duona wouldn’t have ended up with a higher rank than Zhan Wushuang, who was only ranked second in the Heaven Index. That was someone who had killed a Sunmoon as an eighth-stage Mountainsea.

Long Zhan was an arrogant person. But today, after witnessing how all these freaks were capable of killing opponents above them like it was a game, he had a slight feeling of helplessness. He once killed a sixth-stage Mountainsea. He wasn’t weak, right? Even if the opponent was a seventh-stage Mountainsea, he was still capable of putting up a fight.

But Mo Duona was capable of killing a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. Not even Long Zhan was a match for Mo Duona. An Mintian wouldn’t have been so nervous around Mo Duona otherwise.

In fact, even Tianduo of the original devil race, who was absolutely not weak, could only shut his mouth before Mo Duona. Backgrounds were irrelevant here.

“Su Yu…”

While Long Zhan was deep in thought, Tianduo was looking in Mo Duona’s direction with complicated eyes. That was his goal. A goal that he might not be able to reach even after a lifetime.

Leaving the Devil Realm, entering the Plain of Desires, and hunting Huang Teng. Everything he did had been for the sake of fame and strength. To close the gap between him and Mo Duona.

And yet…

He looked around him. There were only three survivors, Mo Erba, Lan Ying, and the three-eyed devil. The others were dead. All that sacrifice for nothing. They had gained nothing from this valley.

Meanwhile, all by himself, Mo Duona had forced the three greatest geniuses of humanity to flee. No, there was also Wu Qi with them. The young geniuses of humanity were left with no choice but to run. All because Mo Duona was here.

That was what dominance looked like.

Mo Duona had achieved that in such a carefree manner. Just like Mo Duona, Tianduo was an original devil as well. But apart from injuring Huang Teng and Wu Qi, he failed to achieve anything except losing the lives of his companions.

All the geniuses in the valley were deep in thought.

At that moment, a little golden dragon shot out from the crack in the ground and asked loudly, “Who’s Su Yu?”

He really had no idea. In fact, even Cui Lang was a name he had never heard before. And he was not the only person there who didn’t recognize that name. Suddenly, a masked individual appeared far away. On the mask was a picture of the sky split into two.

“A bastard from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion!”

The geniuses turned wary. They began to stir.

The expert from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion spoke in an ethereal voice, “Everyone, there is no need to view me with such hostility. You’re all curious about Su Yu. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is curious as well. Perhaps you don’t know much about Su Yu. Let me provide an explanation.

“A member of Human Realm’s Great Xia. Nineteen. He entered the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy at eighteen. He joined the multiple character faction after entering the academy. He was only at the Source Opening Realm when he first joined. His teacher is Bai Feng. Perhaps you don’t know Bai Feng as well. But Su Yu was also a student of Liu Wenyan during his time in secondary school. That is a familiar name for everyone here, right?”

Everyone was surprised to hear that. Yes, that was a name they knew. That was quite a famous name. Sure, Liu Wenyan had never entered the Heavenly Hunt Index. But his teacher was known by all.

Ye Batian, fifth principal of Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.

Someone who had killed Invincibles as a Sunmoon.

He stayed at the top of the Heavenly Hunt Index for twenty years until he was disqualified due to age. He entered the index at twenty and reached the top in two years. He fought in countless battles. Nobody was able to kill him during his reign in the index.

“Ye Batian’s grandstudent!”

The people were shocked. This was more shocking than seeing an Invincible descendant. Invincibles weren’t too rare, but Ye Batian was the only person to have ever killed an Invincible as a Sunmoon.

Sure, he was not the only Sunmoon capable of fighting Invincibles. But he was the only person who had won and killed his opponent. One might be able to survive an encounter with an Invincible. One might even prevail over an Invincible. But that did not mean that one could kill an Invincible.

Ye Batian was the sole Sunmoon capable of that feat. Even the biggest genius in existence would find that feat hard to replicate. One needed to be undisputedly stronger than regular Invincibles to actually achieve such a feat.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member said, “In less than half a year, Su Yu reached the first place in Great Xia Cultural Research Academy’s Top 100 Ranking after killing the previous number one student.”

So that was a ruthless individual as well. Great Xia Cultural Research Academy was still a rather famous name among these geniuses, even if a ranking below the Skysoar Realm was nothing for them.

“Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Su Yu defected from Great Xia. On the Starfall Mountain of the Human Realm, he schemed multiple Sunmoons and Mountainseas to death. With his own hands, he killed a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. All that happened half a year after he joined the academy.”

Once again, the crowd gasped with admiration. Even the little golden dragon was stupefied.

The shock was so great that he didn’t even remember he was talking to someone from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. He hurriedly asked, “He schemed Sunmoons to death before?”

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member answered, “He didn’t kill those Sunmoons himself. He lured them to attack him. In order to recruit him, Zhu Tiandao of Great Ming personally killed Jin Yuhui of the single character faction, willingly offending the faction for Su Yu’s sake.

“Then, Su Yu entered the Great Ming Cultural Research Academy. First, he released the famous Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art, Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art, Source Soul Cultural Art, and so on. He founded the Source Soul Research Center. A few months ago, he defeated a top genius of humanity, Shan Xiong.”

“Shan Xiong?” Someone exclaimed in shock, “That fellow entered the Allheaven Battlefield before. He’s in the index as well, right?”

“Yes. Ninth on the Yellow Index. He left shortly after.”

“…”

Shan Xiong was a known name. He had fought and killed geniuses in the Allheaven Battlefield before. But he returned not long after. With such a short stay, he managed to climb to the ninth place of the Yellow Index. One could only imagine how talented and strong he was.

“A few months ago, Su Yu defeated and nearly killed Shan Xiong. A top human expert, Zhou Polong, personally appeared to save Shan Xiong. During the battle, Su Yu detonated 144 acupoints and suffered a grave injury. It is rumored that he has been in seclusion since then. Principal Niu Baidao of the Great Ming Cultural Research Academy personally served as his dao protector during his seclusion. Cui Lang…is an unofficial student of Principal Niu Baidao.”

The curious golden dragon asked, “What did you mean by that? Detonated 144 acupoints?”

“Oh, was it unclear?” The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member laughed, “Su Yu has opened more than 300 acupoints. Perhaps he has opened 360 acupoints. Nobody knows the exact number. It is also rumored that he has opened more than 100 apertures. And he has probably fused more than 20 characters. Of course, nobody knows the exact number…”

“All that…in a year?”

Once again, everyone was stunned. It would be a lot more acceptable if it was ten years. A genius of that level was not too rare. But one year was too unbelievable.

“Yes. One year.” The masked man laughed and added, “Actually, we are twenty days short. He entered the academy on the 1st of August of the Human Anping Calendar. Currently, it’s the 6th of July in the Human Realm.”

“…”

Silence descended.

Someone muttered, “Invincible ruin?”

“Yes.” The masked man said, “That is very likely. It is rumored that Su Yu’s current accomplishments are all due to the ruin he found in the past. Even so, his accomplishments are still incredible.”

An Invincible ruin alone would not guarantee success. Luck and talent were still very important. Which genius had never gotten lucky before? Would someone with zero fortuitous encounters even be considered a genius?

One could only say that Su Yu’s luck was too good if he really had an Invincible ruin. Luck was widely accepted as one of the criteria to evaluate a genius. Nobody with sufficient luck would be considered a genius.

With that explanation, the people there had a clearer image of Su Yu.
