Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 642: A Slap From Afar (2)

Marquis Xia sank into a short silence before nodding, "I'll pass your words to Longwu."

He gave Su Yu a deep look and said, "You seem to have grown a lot recently."

Su Yu said, "I'm alright. We can talk about the other cultivation methods next time. I believe we will be doing this a lot in the future."

"Are you so confident?" Marquis Xia asked, "Or perhaps you already have these cultivation methods. You are merely waiting for the right time before releasing them."

"That's not the case." Su Yu said, "But the environment in Great Ming is very good. There are a lot of geniuses here. I believe that with everyone's help, I'll be able to make a major breakthrough soon."

"Great Ming..." Marquis Xia nodded, "True. Great Ming is indeed a decent place."

He stood up to leave.

After a slight hesitation, Su Yu said, "Back then, Principal Wan promised that nobody above the Mountainsea Realm would touch me. But during the attack on me, he wasn't around. He broke his promise."

Marquis Xia turned and said, "Aren't you still alive?"

Su Yu frowned.

"Since you're still alive, don't be too serious about it. You won't die. What are you afraid of?"

Su Yu said, "I still don't understand. Everyone knows that he's pretending to be weak. What is the point of keeping up with the act, then?"

Marquis Xia shook his head, "I don't know. But do you know what his real strength is? Nobody knows. I don't know either. But I only have one thing to say. Wan Tiansheng is the type of person who will either stay silent or shock the world with a single feat. I don't know what he's trying to do. I only know that he might meet a miserable ending because of what he intends to do."

With a bitter smile, Marquis Xia said, "Things won't end well for him. If you doubt me, just wait and see. I have a feeling that he will go completely crazy in the future. Kid, stay away from him. The moment he makes a move, it will be something that can shock the world."

"How crazy? Is he going to kill an Invincible?"

Marquis Xia waved his hand, "It's pointless to speculate. Perhaps he's going to do more than that. In truth, he has gone mad long ago. Great Xia Cultural Research Academy is the chain around him while the rules serve as his personal cage. He is willingly staying inside the cage. But when the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy and the rules stop existing, he will be released from his imprisonment."

With a wide grin, Marquis Xia said, "Some people are stupid enough to remove the chain and cage around him. They are bound to suffer the consequences for their actions."

Marquis Xia started walking away. But he suddenly stopped and said, "During the coming years, try to cultivate more and grow stronger. This peace might not last longer than a few years. Great Xia shall be the origin of all chaos."

Listening to those vague words, Su Yu frowned. Great Xia shall be the origin of all chaos. What was he referring to? Xia Longwu? Wan Tiansheng? Great Xia King? Or people like Liu Wenyan?

***

After Marquis Xia left, Su Yu sat there in silence.

After some time, Zhu Tiandao arrived. With a hearty laugh, he said, "Su Yu, you're getting rich. I also have a piece of good news for you. After blowing up a few dozen asses, a death row inmate finally found a new acupoint. But I don't know if that is the acupoint you need."

"..."

For some reason, Su Yu felt uncomfortable listening to those words. Blowing up a few dozen asses? What was up with that choice of words? Nevertheless, Su Yu still asked, "Prefect, did they discover any other acupoints?"

"No."

Su Yu was somewhat disappointed to hear that. However, one was better than nothing. He was left with only two acupoints to discover.

"Prefect, can I take a look?"

"Come with me." Zhu Tiandao started leading the way. As they walked, he said, "Qin Zhen from Great Qin wishes to have a talk with you about the best version of your fusion art."

"Sure." Su Yu nodded, "I know about Great Qin. They are one of the most valiant prefectures when it comes to fighting at the frontlines. I can sell the cultivation method to them at a cheaper price. I can even consider letting their military get it for free."

Zhu Tiandao grudgingly said, "That's inappropriate, right? That's unfair as not even Great Ming has gotten the distribution rights for the best version."

Su Yu indifferently remarked, "But Great Ming isn't fighting at the frontlines."

Zhu Tiandao was left completely speechless.

Su Yu solemnly said, "I have a lot of respect for the armies fighting on the Allheaven Battlefield. I've heard that Great Qin King is the main expert watching over the outermost frontline. In fact, Great Qin King is the reason the various armies are still able to operate well on the Allheaven Battlefield despite the factional struggles within the Human Realm.

"Even the War Shrine is much more reliable than the Knowledge Seeking Realm. They are only in charge of external conflicts, and we can all see that, unlike our internal affairs, our external affairs are still in order."

One couldn't deny the War Shrine's contribution toward the peace the Human Realm was enjoying. Regardless of the chaos back home, the armies on the frontlines were still doing their jobs in an orderly manner. That was all thanks to Great Qin King's strict management. As per his ruling, anyone caught causing chaos at the frontlines would be executed.

As the first Invincible who had founded a prefecture, he was strong enough to deter the remaining human Invincibles even if he wasn't strong enough to enforce his rule over the entire Human Realm. Regardless of who one was, they needed to obey Great Qin King at the frontlines.

Zhu Tiandao said, "You're right. Great Qin King is very harsh. But he's also a very good commander. Don't even dream of getting him to side with anyone. That is not possible. He doesn't care what reasons you have or who you are. If you dare to create trouble in the military, you will die. In truth, Xia Longwu resembles him a lot. He's basically a weaker version of Great Qin King. If Xia Longwu manages to complete his breakthrough, he might end up succeeding Great Qin King as the grand commander of the frontlines."

Su Yu shook his head, "I don't think Prefect Xia is suited to be a commander. I have never met him before, but I can feel that he is someone who follows his heart. The life of a roaming warrior where he only needs to drink and kill is more suitable for him. He can also do well as a prefect, but he's not cool-headed enough to be the commander of an army."

"Look at you. You're starting to talk about the qualifications of peak Sunmoons." Zhu Tiandao laughed, "Just don't get too full of yourself."

Su Yu said, "Not at all. I'm only saying all that to you. I grew up watching live executions on television. My father greatly idolized the prefect. Thus, the prefect became my idol as well. I was only being honest."

The two started walking in silence.

Before long, they arrived at the death row encampment. There, Su Yu was brought to the death row inmate who had successfully opened the new acupoint. The inmate was a Skysoar cultivator. He looked miserable.

Su Yu could see that this person had probably opened the wrong spot multiple times from the wounds on his lower body. Even now, he still looked bloodied. He sure was lucky to survive long enough to discover the new acupoint.

With one look at this person, Su Yu knew that the new acupoint was one that he had yet to open. This acupoint was named the Heaven Connecting Acupoint. That was quite a reasonable name. Just imagine stabbing a sword straight through this acupoint. The tip of the sword would be pointing straight at the sky.

After confirming the acupoint's position with his willpower, Su Yu sat down cross-legged and started opening his acupoint.

"..."

Zhu Tiandao was left speechless. That was an acupoint the kid was trying to open. Why was the kid doing it right here? How long would it take? At this point, Su Yu had opened 357 acupoints in total.

Thanks to the Body Strengthening Art and the endless supply of source qi liquid, Su Yu opened his eyes after only an hour. The new acupoint had been successfully opened.

Zhu Tiandao was completely dumbfounded.

Holy shit!

Opening one acupoint in one hour?

Zhu Tiandao had watched with his own eyes how the kid had sat down about an hour ago. Why was the kid so fast?

Su Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Prefect. After opening this acupoint, I can feel something different."

Su Yu's light flickered with light as he said, "The two final acupoints are probably extremely unique. To open them, I need some materials. Is there any first divine and original devil blood essence in Great Ming's storage?"

"Nope."

Zhu Tiandao said, "I'm telling the truth. I won't be holding back on you if I really have some. There aren't a lot of first divines and original devils around. To be frank, they will mostly self-detonate after being defeated. They won't give anyone the chance to get their blood. Also, we don't really fight them that much. Great Qin might have some. You can try asking Qin Zhen later. Also, you need to start preparing for your physical advancement into the Skysoar Realm. The blood essence of the first divines and original devils are very good for that...

"We do have some divine blood essence, but we only have the blood essence of the heavenly sky divine race. I can provide you with some if you need it, but their physical bodies aren't too strong. It's good for a regular genius, but it's not good enough for you."

The manager of the camp was standing right beside Zhu Tiandao. Listening to the prefect's words, the manager was greatly amazed. Just listen to that. This was the perfect example of how the heavens were unfair. According to the prefect, the blood essence of the heavenly eye divine race was not worthy of Su Yu.

But when the manager remembered that Su Yu was a Mental Tempering Stage capable of killing Cloudbreaches, he couldn't help but agree. Su Yu was a super freak. The masses seemed to have forgotten about that. Instead, everyone was starting to view him as a research genius and slowly forgetting that he was also a combat genius.
