Chapter 189: One Hit Knockout (1)

Su Yu was in no rush to return to the research center. He first went to the Merit Office to claim his monthly merit points.

Merit Office.

The young woman at the counter looked at Su Yu curiously.

"Three merit points for being a class monitor of the intermediate class, three merit points for being a high-high student, as for your monthly exam reward, it's not issued yet...huh? It's here. That's quick."

She was surprised. The examination had just finished. Generally, the reward would only be issued so speedily if the student in question was...poor. The student was so poor that he needed to be paid immediately.

"16 merit points in total. Any questions, Student Su Yu?"

"No. That would be right." Su Yu nodded.

Su Yu couldn't help but to wish that he could get even more. However, this was good enough. At the moment, he had 146 merit points in total after including the 100 merit points he had earned from selling information to Xia Huyou. And he was going to earn even more tomorrow. All in all, he had probably earned more in a month than a regular Skysoar cultivator could earn.

Su Yu did not plan to buy anything, but he still asked, "Do you have any mountainbreak bull blood essence?"

The staff shook her head, "Great Strength blood essence? No. It's too rare."

"No, early-stage Infinite Strength blood essence would do."

The staff was astonished.

Infinite Strength?

The Great Strength mountainbreak bull blood essence was a great choice for body forging during the Great Strength Realm. But the Infinite Strength blood essence was much less useful in comparison. It would be better to use a regular Infinite Strength blood essence instead.

Of course, she did not voice her opinion. She said, "Yes, we do have some in stock, but we don't have too much of it. This is a top 100 race, after all. Even their Infinite Strength cultivators are quite rare. Of course, people rarely buy it too unless they're using it for experiments. However, it is still not cheap. For early-stage Infinite Strength blood essence, you need to pay 15 merit points per drop."

Su Yu cursed inwardly. How greedy. n.(o.-v./e--l))b/-1)(n

The Infinite Strength mountainbreak bull blood essence was definitely not something with a high demand. Even so, they were still selling it at such an expensive price. But the academy did not care. They did not need to worry about offering a competitive price since the demand for these resources would always be higher than the supply.

"So are you buying?"

Su Yu gave it some thought and decided to ask Xia Huyou first. After all, Xia Huyou's stock would be much cheaper in comparison.

...

Half an hour later, Su Yu returned to the research center.

Bai Feng was there waiting for him.

When Su Yu returned, Bai Feng looked him up and down before asking, "You reached the Mental Tempering Stage?"

"Yeah. I broke through during an afternoon nap earlier..." Su Yu scratched his head in a dispirited manner and said, "I don't know why I broke through just like that. Teacher, didn't you say that there is a bottleneck?"

Bai Feng indifferently said, "That might be the effect of the Source Qi Secret Grotto. After absorbing enough source qi, you were able to nurture your sea of willpower well too."

Bai Feng decided to end that topic quickly. He didn't want to hear about it. Mental Tempering Stage...hmph. He didn't care about it!

"Since you've reached the Mental Tempering Stage, you will be even busier from now on. Finish your spar quickly tomorrow. After dealing with your trouble, follow me somewhere."

"Ok." Su Yu nodded before asking, "Teacher, can I start using my cultural weapon now?"

"Yes. You can also leave it in the pool when you don't need it. There is no rush to upgrade it for now. You haven't even decided on which Divine Characters you want to focus on. You also don't know what path you're walking yet. You can work on your cultural weapon in the future."

Su Yu asked, "How do I start using it?"

"Send your Divine Characters into it and take it into your sea of willpower. It will be yours after you leave an imprint of your willpower on it. It's easy. I heard a few abnormal students have appeared in the senior class?"

"Abnormal?" Su Yu blinked before nodding, "Yeah. Jia Mingzhen, Xia Chan, Wan Mingze, and Hu Qiusheng. All those people are abnormal. How did they walk further than me?"

Bai Feng was speechless. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes. They were abnormal just because they walked further than you?

He couldn't be bothered to explain anything and said, "Be careful. Keep an eye on Jia Mingzhen and the others. All those people have no background whatsoever. Nobody knows where they came from. They have appeared as the students of several elders out of nowhere. Nobody knows anything about them."

"Jia MIngzhen...Jia Mingzi(fake name)?"

Bai Feng frowned, "The moment I heard that name, I suspected that something was off. Be careful. Since they are related to the elders, we can't look too deeply into them. Just bear in mind that something is off about them."

Su Yu asked, "Are they Faculty Head Zhou's people?"

"I doubt so. They are probably related to Principal Wan," Bai Feng explained. "The elders that have accepted them as students are all from Principal Wan's faction. I don't know what the principal is trying to do. Just watch your back."

A small jade ball appeared in his hand. He said, "Take this. This is a gift from your martial uncle. Wrap your willpower around it and pull it into your sea of willpower."

"What is this?"

Su Yu had not met his martial uncle yet. Thus, he was surprised to receive a gift from this unknown martial uncle.

"A mythic destruction beast skull." Bai Feng nonchalantly said, "This is a treasure. It is worth thousands of merit points. With it in your sea of willpower, you can keep a Divine Character in it and have it nourish the character for you and reduce your burden. It can also help stabilize your sea of willpower."

Su Yu was barely listening to the rest of Bai Feng’s words. He only heard that this thing was worth thousands of merit points.

Su Yu swallowed and said, "Martial Uncle is such a nice person. Teacher, why don't we find some time and visit him. Since I'm already at the Mental Tempering Stage now, he might even give me more gifts for breaking through..."

Bai Feng was tired of speaking to this student. This student had nothing but money in his mind. Was he not aware that his martial uncle was poorer than his teacher right now? No, that wasn't right. His martial uncle still had some merit points he was using to plug the holes in the depository. But those merit points couldn't be touched.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Bai Feng rolled his eyes and tossed the skull over. He sternly said, "Don't let anyone know about this. Quite a lot of people are coveting this thing. It's much more valuable than the mountainbreak bull blood essence. Keep it hidden."

"I know." Su Yu nodded happily. He was rich!

He had just realized that there were a lot of benefits to entering the multiple character faction. He had also discovered that he might really be quite rich at the moment.

"Skybreak Technique willpower text, mythic destruction beast skull, top-tier yellow-grade cultural weapon, Lightning Source Blade willpower text, and 146 merit points..."

If he included the mountainbreak bull blood essence that he had used previously...

He didn't feel anything before making this calculation, but after adding them all up, holy shit. He had earned over 5,000 merit points this month! What a terrifying number! At the black market, he could get 50,000 dollars per merit point. So that would be like around 250 million dollars?

Su Yu's jaws dropped.

In truth, he might have earned even more than that.? There was the top-tier earth-grade War God Art and the 1,300 merit points he was about to get...

The more Su Yu thought about it, the more stunned he was. Sure enough, the capital was filled with rich people. To the side, Bai Feng was completely oblivious to what Su Yu was thinking. He was having a headache. His student was growing too fast.

"I thought things could stay calm for a bit, but it looks like that's not the case anymore..."

But when he saw Su Yu giggling to himself, he couldn’t help but be amused.

Suddenly, Su Yu said, "Oh, right. I formed a new Divine Character last night, Teacher."

Bai Feng blanked out slightly. "New Divine Character?"

"Yeah." Su Yu said, "I was reading a willpower text last night..."

Bai Feng immediately knew which willpower text Su Yu was talking about.

He did not give Su Yu the chance to finish and said, "Which character?"

"Kill."

"Kill?" Bai Feng frowned. He looked at Su Yu and said, "I gave you a fragment previously. It's the Arm Slash technique. Do you remember?"

/p>

"Yeah. I read it. It already broke down."

"Did you form any Divine Characters from that?"

"No..."

"But you formed Divine Characters after reading the Source Opening Codex, Lightning Source Blade, and the other willpower text?" Bai Feng's frown grew deeper. "All your Divine Characters came from the human language?"

"Yeah."

Bai Feng was feeling more and more troubled.

"Divine Characters...Human language...You only need a single attempt to form a human character. But you can read myriad race texts multiple times without forming anything..."

Bai Feng's pupils shrank, "Don't tell me your body rejects myriad race characters!"

Su Yu blinked in confusion. He had no idea.

"Are you someone with great talent in human characters but incapable of forming myriad race characters?" Bai Feng was starting to get nervous, "In that case, things will be troublesome."

"Troublesome?"

"Kid, you need to know that human characters are actually quite weak. Or to be precise, they are weaker in comparison to the myriad race characters. They are simpler and not tough enough.

"Maybe I’m wrong about you. Maybe you have a better talent in human characters and a normal talent in myriad race characters. That will explain why you can form Divine Characters so quickly..."

Bai Feng felt greatly troubled. What should he do if Su Yu had terrible talent in myriad race characters? Most cultural researchers got their Divine Characters from the myriad languages.

And some of the cultivation methods, martial techniques, and cultivation tricks created by humans originated from the myriad races as well.

Su Yu asked uneasily, "Teacher, are human characters not strong?"

"They are strong, but not strong enough. Bai Feng solemnly said, "At the very least, they are weaker than the characters of the divine and the devil races. Let me give you an example. Of the known Eternal Divine Characters in the Human Realm, not one of them is a human character. All of them are myriad race characters."

"Don't worry. We'll see again." Bai Feng placated, "Calm down..."

"I'm calm."

Su Yu did not care that much. He was happy enough with his human Divine Characters.

Bai Feng rolled his eyes. Nonsense. His student might not be anxious, but he was. The multiple character faction focused a lot more on myriad race characters than human characters.

Things would be troublesome if Su Yu had lackluster talent for myriad race characters. He might even have trouble getting to the Skysoar Realm.

"We'll wait and see." Bai Feng said, "Is your new Divine Character completed as well?"

"No. It's slightly damaged. It is very strong. It has been very troublesome to tame."

"Tame..."

What was that term? For everyone else, they had to form their characters stroke by stroke. But for Su Yu, it was basically a taming process.
