Chapter 288: Martial Technique Gained (1)
Defeat.
Su Yu had suffered a rather crushing defeat in Wan Mingze's hands. He sighed inwardly. Without relying on blood essence, he probably wouldn't even be Zhang Hao's match if he had to fight with only willpower and Divine Characters.
Wan Mingze, Hu Qiusheng, Zhang Hao...even Zheng Hong. He wasn't fully confident that he would be able to defeat Zheng Hong again if they had to fight a second time. Not one of these freaks could be underestimated.
Wan Mingze actually had three second tier Divine Characters. That was completely beyond Su Yu's expectations. He had not used the soul devouring bug blood essence during his fight with Wan Mingze since that thing was too conspicuous. It wasn't like he would win even if he used it.
Three sealing Divine Characters.
While Su Yu was deep in thought, Hu Qiusheng walked over with empathy and said, "A defeat does not matter. People like us can afford a defeat or two. That fellow is a freak. You must not know this but he formed his first Divine Character at nine. And he spent nine whole years only cultivating supportive Divine Characters. I really don't know what he's thinking."
Nine years!
Su Yu was shocked. He said, "But to form a Divine Character, he needs at least 10 percent willpower. He also needs to read a lot of books and learn a lot of knowledge..."
When he was nine, he was still in elementary school. He was still playing mud with a bunch of snotty brats.
"He is Principal Wan's grandnephew. From a young age, he has the principal as his role model. He grew up worshipping the principal. And the principal has high hopes for him as well, so he benefits from numerous private lessons from the principal.
"With all that, his talent, and a willingness to work hard, it is normal for him to be this impressive. Half the reason I'm here is him. I was supposed to study at the Knowledge Seeking Realm."
"Hmm?" Su Yu blanked out. Studying at the Knowledge Seeking Realm?
"There is an academy there as well." Hu Qiusheng explained, "Most of their students are the descendants of some big shots. There, even Eternal experts would occasionally hold some classes when they feel like it. These Eternal experts would also personally write those students some willpower texts. But it is definitely not easy to enter that academy. My family had been planning to send me over. But I learned that Wan Mingze is going to enter this academy so I came as well."
Su Yu was shocked. Classes from Invincible experts?
"Why...why hadn't he gone there?"
He also looked at Xia Chan and a few other people curiously. All these people were definitely able to enter that academy if they wanted to.
Hu Qiusheng said, "The Knowledge Seeking Realm might not necessarily be better. Comparatively, that place is much more peaceful. And that might not be good for growth."
"Peaceful?"
"Yes." Hu Qiusheng nodded, "After all, you have Invincible experts around. Internally, most students there only focus on studying independently. The competition there is not as intense. Life is easy and comfortable there, unlike this academy where everyone is busy competing against each other all the time. Just the Top 100 Ranking alone is akin to a battlefield."
Su Yu nodded in understanding. Everyone had their own choice. There was no right or wrong. He himself had thought of joining the Great Xia War Academy not long ago.
Hu Qiusheng said, "Therefore, like I said, a single defeat is nothing. You only need to be able to stand back up. You're very talented. I feel like you have more potential than even that fellow. He has spent nine years reaching his current level. How long have you been cultivating?"
The look in his eyes changed into amazement as he said, "Su Yu, you have probably only known about Divine Characters for like a year, right?"novE/lb-1n
Su Yu flashed his usual honest smile and said, "More than that, I think. Teacher Liu Wenyan is my first teacher. In truth, I already learned something a few years ago, but I have only properly formed a Divine Character not long ago."
Hu Qiusheng nodded. He was aware of that. Even so, he was still quite amazed with Su Yu's growth. Even if Su Yu had learned about Divine Characters for a few years, he had only started forming Divine Characters very recently. Thus, his growth had actually been quite terrifying.
A lot of people were more concerned about Wan Mingze, but he was more concerned about Su Yu. Su Yu was simply growing too fast.
Su Yu ended the conversation and walked toward Wan Mingze. The Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem was his sole goal, not the first place. A single defeat wasn't important. He had plenty of chances to face Wan Mingze again in the future.
"Brother Wan!"
Su Yu called out. Wan Mingze was in the middle of a conversation with a researcher. When the researcher saw Su Yu coming over, he gave Su Yu a friendly smile before walking away without saying anything.
The students grew even happier upon hearing that. That was great!
Su Yu did a short calculation. He had fought five matches in total. He had lost the fight with Wan Mingze. There was also a match that he had not fought, the fight for second place with Hu Qiusheng. At that thought, he looked at Hu Qiusheng.
Then, he looked at Liu Hong and said, "Teacher, Hu Qiusheng and I still have a match, right? I think we should fight it, after all..."
Hu Qiusheng blanked out slightly before laughing.
Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and asked, "I thought the two of you had agreed to consider the fight a draw? That is the result we accepted. And the tournament is already over."
Su Yu felt regretful. In that case, he would be able to get 35 merit points this time. And all of them would count toward his total earned merit. That was actually a lot of points.
He suddenly understood why all these geniuses had participated. So the merit points here could increase their total earned merit. He had thought that they would only receive some regular rewards.
After doing a short calculation, Su Yu found that including his reward for last month’s examination and his pay as a class monitor, his total earned merit had reached 103 points. That should be the case, right?
And with his recently earned 35 points, he now had 138 total earned merit points.
The next monthly examination was going to be held in the afternoon. If he could get first place, he would probably be able to push his total earned merit to 150 points after getting his class monitor pay for the month as well.
One needed 200 total earned merit points to enter the Devil Battling Field. This was too difficult for new students.
Even the Source Qi Secret Grotto wasn't easy to enter. Previously, Su Yu was probably the only new student to have ever entered. But after this tournament, there would probably be more new students entering that grotto. After all, Wan Mingze and the others had earned quite a lot of merit points this time.
Wan Mingze did not say anything else and handed the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem to Su Yu. He said, "That's agreed, then. We only need to finalize the transfer later."
"Sure."
Su Yu nodded and took a look at the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem and felt the texture of the book, wondering if it was really made of silkwrym thread.
But this was a public tournament. It was unlikely that they would give out a fake reward. This wasn't supposed to be a valuable item, anyway. With the book in hand, Su Yu was relieved.
As for the rewards for the second and third places, he picked the talisman as his reward. Hu Qiusheng was quite generous as he even gave Su Yu 20 merit points as the other reward was slightly more valuable.
All in all, he had earned 55 merit points and a talisman from this tournament. That was actually quite a decent harvest. No, that was an excellent harvest.
But Su Yu's standards had also increased considerably as of late. For him, 55 merit points were no longer a lot. Thus, for him, the merit points weren't the main rewards of the tournament.
It was worth noting that this wasn't a tournament that would be frequently held. It was only held with the intention of giving the new students some benefits in the first place. The old students would not waste their time on tournaments and focus on the Top 100 Ranking instead.
With the tournament over, the crowd started leaving the Secret Character Hall. They still needed to take their monthly examination later so they had to go back and rest before the examination.
For the senior class in particular, the contents of this month's examination would be different from the previous month's. Since there was no point asking about the contents of the examination, Su Yu did not waste his time and rushed back to the research center.
First underground floor.
Storeroom.
Nowadays, the storeroom had quite a lot of treasures, such as blood essence and willpower texts. These all belonged to Su Yu. As for Bai Feng, he was too poor to have anything to store in the storeroom.
Su Yu placed the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem in the storeroom as well. He was quite excited while doing so. He was in no rush to study it. He would do it when he came back later.
Additionally, he also had to buy some silkwrym blood essence. According to the suanni's words, he would need the blood essence to unlock the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem. But it would only remain unsealed for a period of time.
"Heaven-grade martial technique!"
Su Yu inhaled deeply. What a treasure. Looking at the book, he resisted the urge to study it immediately and left reluctantly. He went to the filter room and started letting his willpower recover. He still had a monthly examination in the afternoon, after all.
