Chapter 137: Malicious Intent From Martial Uncle (2)

A few minutes later, Su Yu arrived at the Character Faculty's section.

"Su Yu?"

There was a row of counters there. A few instructors were in charge of the registration process. These instructors weren't actual researchers of the academy. They were the old students of the academy that had not been able to reach the Skysoar Realm and graduate.

Hearing Su Yu's introduction, the instructor smiled and said, "I knew you would join the Character Faculty. Assistant Bai Feng already reminded us about you. Are you directly registering as his student or are you going to wait for a bit before confirming your teacher?"

Before Su Yu could answer, a nearby female instructor exclaimed, "Xia Chan? The freak from Xia Family?"

The young lass standing in front of the female instructor frowned slightly before smiling and nodding, "I'm Xia Chan."

"Yo-you're joining the Character Faculty?"

The instructor was surprised by that choice. A freak of the Xia Family might not necessarily choose to join the Character Faculty.

Their faculty head was Zhou Mingren while the Xia Family had their own vice principal who was also a faculty head of the Willpower Faculty. In the past, many of the people from Xia Family would join the Willpower Faculty.

"I have an agreement with Faculty Head Zhou. I'm going to become his personal student."

Xia Chan was indifferent while surprised gasps sounded all around her. Zhou Mingren. The first vice principal, the head of the Character Faculty, and a peak Mountainsea expert. He had accepted a new student this year!

Sure, this student was a freak from the Xia Family, but one ought to know that there were new freaks entering the academy each year. A big shot like Zhou Mingren would not accept a student easily.

Xia Chan ignored the people around her and left unhesitatingly after completing the registration. Su Yu took a look at her, but he didn't really care that much. A freak...was truly quite strong. He could sense that she was at the Great Strength Realm.

She had definitely completed at least one Divine Character as well. Her willpower was also stronger than his. He didn't know how many completed Divine Characters she had though. Maybe she only had one, but even with only one, some Divine Characters could be incredibly powerful.

It was normal for a member of the Xia Family to be strong.

He was still busy thinking when the instructor in front of him recovered from the shock. The instructor sighed and said, "What a surprise. The faculty head is actually accepting a student this year. The new student is even a freak from the Xia Family. I wonder if this combination can surpass that person from Great Zhou."

"Great Zhou?" Su Yu asked, "The freak who reached the Skysoar Realm in half a year?"

"You know about him as well?"

"I heard of him before."

"Yeah, it's him," the instructor replied. "Reaching the Skysoar Realm in half a year. That's too fast. And he's still so young. He isn't the only genius from a big family around, but he is the only one who had ever managed to reach a Skysoar Realm in half a year."

"How about Researcher Xia Yuwen?" Su Yu asked curiously.

The instructor smiled and said, "Xia Yuwen...took two years."

"Two years?"

"Most of those from that batch took two years. I'm referring to the freaks of that batch..."

The instructor's tone turned envious as he said, "Two years is fast enough. Of course, almost all of them joined the academy at the peak of the Mental Tempering Stage. Generally, even someone capable of graduating in five years would be considered a freak.

"Almost all the students who were able to graduate before 30 were one of these freaks. Of the 16 under 30 graduates of our academy this year, 10 of them had been classified as freaks when they first joined the academy."

He shook his head and said, "What a pity. Some of the freaks were incredible when they first joined the academy, but they ended up stuck below the Skysoar Realm."

Each year, a few freaks would enter the academy. There were around 30 to 40 of these freaks who were under 30 and had yet to graduate but only 10 of them had graduated this year. Clearly, some of them were still stuck below the Skysoar Realm.

Su Yu did not ask any other questions. The instructor asked, "Are you going to confirm Assistant Bai Feng as your teacher?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Not for now. I haven't even met Teacher Bai Feng yet. I'll decide after meeting him."

Bai Feng was nowhere to be seen. Although Su Yu had decided previously to become Bai Feng's student, he was starting to waver due to Bai Feng's attitude. He hadn't even shown his face after Su Yu joined the academy.

"I'm afraid Assistant Bai Feng has been busy recently..." said the instructor. "I heard he has been staying in the research center..."

He was still talking when a sorry-looking individual appeared: Bai Feng. With a messy stubble and thick eyebags, Bai Feng walked over while yawning.

When he saw Su Yu, he smiled and nodded, "Finish the registration and take a rest today. You can report to my research center tomorrow. Bye..."

He then turned to leave. Su Yu was stunned. Was this fellow not going to say anything else? Also, what happened to this fellow? During their previous meeting, he was ethereal and refined. But now, he looked more like a beggar.

"Teacher Bai..." Su Yu hurriedly chased after Bai Feng. Bai Feng turned around in astonishment and asked, "Yes? Is there anything else?"

"Uhm..."

Su Yu was truly speechless.

Seeing that Bai Feng seemed to be in a rush, Su Yu stopped hesitating and said, "Teacher Liu said that after being accepted by a teacher, I would receive some gifts from the teacher. He said that I could get an advanced version of the War God Art, 100 drops of Infinite Strength blood essence, and 10 willpower texts. Is that true, Teacher Bai?"

...

Bai Feng was dumbstruck.

Which teacher was so rich to give all those gifts to their students?

Even if your teacher was Wan Tiansheng himself, you wouldn't get all that!

Su Yu scratched his head with an honest expression and spoke hesitatingly, "I'm not sure if that's true. Previously, Teacher Zhao Li said that he would give me a high-tier profound-grade cultural weapon if I become his student. Is that weapon valuable?"

"Zhao Li?" Bai Feng instinctively looked over. Far away, Zhao Li was looking at them as well. He was glaring at Bai Feng. He wanted to rush over, but the people from the Weaponsmithing Faculty were keeping him busy. They still had many things to do.

"High-tier profound-grade cultural weapon?"

Bai Feng was cursing inwardly. Was Zhai Li crazy? Even if he wanted to poach a student, this wasn't how you should poach! Was he not afraid that he would offend all the researchers in the academy?

Who would give a high-tier profound-grade weapon to a new student? That was worth thousands of merit points! He looked at Su Yu and saw an honest and embarrassed expression of someone who had said something he shouldn't.

Bai Feng stood there blankly. What...should he do? His martial uncle was screwing him over. Even Zhao Li was screwing him over! A hundred drops of Infinite Strength blood essence? Ten willpower texts? Advanced War God Art? Were they serious?

All those were worth thousands of merit points! He was even wondering if Su Yu was making all that up.

With an honest smile on his face, Su Yu's face turned red in embarrassment as he softly said, "Teacher Bai...if you don't have all that...it doesn't matter. After all...you're only an assistant. I understand. I have been here for two days. I know how poor assistants are..."

Bai Feng's face fell. What was the meaning of that? Was the kid trying to use reverse psychology on him? Or was the kid looking down on him?

Su Yu timidly continued, "Teacher Bai, it's really fine. You taught me about Divine Characters before. You're my first mentor when it comes to Divine Characters. You have already helped me greatly. If you don't have money, we can earn some together..."

Bai Feng did not know what to say. After a while, he said, "Su Yu, don't listen to my martial uncle. We don't really give out gifts when accepting students here..."

"Absolutely!" Su Yu nodded solemnly and said, "Like I said, us students should be the ones giving our teachers gifts instead, not the other way around!

"Teacher Liu must have remembered things wrongly. He even gave me a number and said that the owner of that number can definitely give me a lot of gifts if I become that person's student instead..."

"What number?"

Bai Feng was alarmed. But Su Yu scratched his head awkwardly, not saying anything.

"Tell me the number. Don't worry. Martial Uncle is basically my family. I wouldn't do anything that would harm you."

Su Yu softly read the number out, alarming Bai Feng even more.

What the fuck!

Martial Uncle, that was too much! That seemed to be Wu Yuehua's number. No, that was definitely her number!

His martial uncle had actually told Su Yu to become Wu Yuehua's student? She wasn't even from the same faction! Sure, they were quite close, but that was the personal relationship between his martial uncle and Wu Yuehua, not the relationship between their factions!

Fuck!

A single Zhao Li was still not that difficult to handle. But Wu Yuehua was the deputy head of the Pill Faculty! The Pill Faculty was known for its wealth! If Su Yu called that number, Wu Yuehua would definitely not refuse Liu Wenyan's student!

Advanced War God Art? A hundred drops of Infinite Strength blood essence? All that was nothing for her! No wonder his martial uncle had claimed that Su Yu could get so many gifts after picking a teacher. His martial uncle was talking about Wu Yuehua, not him.

So Martial Uncle has been intending to deliver this kid to Wu Yuehua? That was why he told this kid all that so that the kid would feel that I'm poor? If I can't take all those gifts out, the kid would only need one phone call to realize how generous Wu Yuehua is. And after comparing the two of us, would he still want to be my student?

Bai Feng instantly felt a thick sense of malice. His martial uncle's malice! His martial uncle was too embarrassed to speak honestly to Su Yu, so he was using a roundabout method to tell Su Yu that Bai Feng was not qualified to be his teacher! n(/OvELbIn

Bai Feng felt his lips turning dry. He really couldn't afford all that! He was broke! He wouldn't be able to take all those things out!

At that moment, one name appeared in his mind: Liu Hong!

Old Liu, you’re quite rich, right?

He needed thousands of merit points to accept this student. Would Old Liu still be willing to work with him? This unofficial student of his had quite a terrifying appetite! He was feeling very helpless as well!
