Chapter 319: Racial Ability Character (1)

Research center.

Student and teacher continued chatting for a while before Bai Feng recalled something and furiously asked, "Where's the tea?"

Su Yu laughed. His teacher was still thinking about tea? Bai Feng was finally happy after Su Yu served him a cup of tea. While sipping on tea, he sank into thought.

After a while, he said pensively, "Do you still remember the activated acupoints when you used the soul devouring bug ability?"

"Yeah."

"Soul devouring bug...soul devouring bug ability...source qi alteration..." Bai Feng muttered, "Is the alteration due to the ability itself or is it due to the source art of the soul devouring bugs? Too bad you don't know their source art..."

Su Yu thought about it and said, "Teacher, I think their source art and racial ability probably utilizes similar acupoints. I have a feeling we can even derive their source art from the ability. After all, the acupoints of the ability are basically almost the same as the acupoints of their source art."

Generally, racial abilities and foundation source arts would come in pairs.

A good example would be the War God Art and Skybreak Technique. Racial abilities were essentially the martial techniques that the myriad races innately knew.

The War God Art required 108 acupoints while the Skybreak Technique required 96 acupoints. But most of the acupoints overlapped. Thus, one only needed to open 12 additional acupoints to cultivate the Skybreak Technique.

"That makes sense." Bai Feng nodded, "If the source art of the soul devouring bugs can really alter one's source qi, giving it the abilities to burn and corrode willpower, then this cultivation method would be a very big deal for all warriors.

"Generally, warriors would need to close in to cultural researchers to harm them. But if they could burn the willpower of the cultural researchers from far away, a lot would change. Perhaps we can use this to gain the support of some powerful warriors."

Su Yu stared at his teacher, his expression changing.

Bai Feng indifferently asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? We're not strong enough. It is perfectly normal for us to look for more supporters. But my research is still stuck at the Great Strength Realm. Is that the highest level of the ability you have tried using as well?"

"Yeah."

"It's fine. That is enough. Our main goal is to figure out the required acupoints."

Bai Feng continued sipping on his tea while thinking.

This was a cultivation method capable of altering source qi and harming willpower. Were there similar cultivation methods out there? The world was massive. Everything could exist.

In fact, similar cultivation methods might already exist in the Human Realm and had merely been kept secret. As far as Bai Feng knew, there was no such cultivation method among the publicly known methods.

In Great Xia, apart from the Xia Family, the other warrior families probably wouldn't have something like that.

Suddenly, Bai Feng smiled, "If we really trade this cultivation method to some warriors, would we be known as the traitors of cultural researchers?"

Su Yu thought about it and answered, "No. The ones scolding us will be the actual traitors. We are sharing the cultivation method to strengthen our warriors, to help them kill more enemies in the battlefield. Why should human cultural researchers fear that cultivation method if they don't intend to betray humanity? Isn't it good for humanity to grow stronger? Thus, anyone daring to think that way is a traitor trying to destabilize humanity from within."

"That makes sense. But..." Bai Feng sneered, "Cultural researchers are very proud. All cultural researchers believe that warriors are incomparable to them. And when you provide warriors with a method to harm cultural researchers, they will feel threatened."

There were far fewer cultural researchers in existence compared to warriors. And one could only reach the Eternal Realm through physical cultivation. Even so, cultural researchers were still incomparably proud.The source of this content can be connected to n0v3lb!n★

Even though the overall strength of the cultural research community was lower than the warrior community, they still believed that they were better. In truth, this thought was shared across the myriad races.

Su Yu shook his head, "That is not a good reason to keep important research results hidden. Should we prevent humanity from growing stronger just to preserve the status of cultural researchers?"

Bai Feng replied, "Of course not. But the premise for doing anything is strength. If you're an Invincible, even if you decide to preach about the dao publicly in the Allheaven Battlefield, nobody would dare to say anything."

Bai Feng exhaled and said, "We need to act carefully. Kid, since you want to get involved in research, this will be your first task. Deduce the Soul Devouring Art out of their racial ability."

Inwardly, Su Yu thought that the job was already done. He already knew the Soul Devouring Art. There was no need for him to deduce anything. Of course, he couldn't tell Bai Feng that.

It was still understandable if he could extract abilities out of blood essence. After all, a lot of people were also researching blood essence. But if he could also learn the cultivation method of other races through their blood essence, then he would be too much of a threat. Bai Feng would probably go crazy if he knew the truth.

Each Mark of Culture signified a deceased Mountainsea cultivator. Yet even this final imprint of them would eventually disappear.

Bai Feng said, "But there are unique circumstances, such as some peak Mountainsea cultivators with stable main Divine Characters. Before their death, they can use their life itself as the price to turn their Divine Characters into semi Eternal characters. Such characters can be kept longer as they will be closer to actual Eternal characters."

Su Yu nodded in understanding.

He asked, "Teacher, aren't there some Eternal characters in the academy? So these characters can actually still be used?"

All the grottos of the academy were made of Eternal characters. And the academy had a decent number of grottos. Most of these characters were left behind by the past Sunmoon cultivators of the academy.

"Use?" Bai Feng looked at Su Yu, "You mean letting someone use those characters like they were normal characters?"

Su Yu nodded, "Yeah. If those Eternal characters won't dissipate, can't we take them in and put them to use?"

He had suddenly thought about the book in his head. Thus, he was curious if Eternal characters could be taken into one's sea of willpower and be put to use.

Bai Feng shook his head, "That won't work. Simply put, it's an issue of compatibility. For example, you are someone who has formed a blood character. I'm not. After you're dead, I might not be able to use your blood character even after getting it from you."

"..."

Su Yu had an odd look on his face. Teacher, those words were...somewhat unkind. Why must he be the one to die? Bai Feng sure had a way to give an example.

"In that case, can these Eternal characters even be compatible with anyone?"

Su Yu asked.

"Yes." Bai Feng nodded, "My martial uncle and some other people are compatible with some Eternal characters. The compatibility might not be 100 percent, but they were compatible enough to actually take the characters into their seas of willpower. That is very rare. Generally, only geniuses can do so. Because these are the characters that these geniuses might end up forming by themselves anyway.

"Don't even think of doing this. You're a Mental Tempering Stage cultivator. How big of a burden an Eternal character would be to your sea of willpower? Can you imagine it? Your sea of willpower might burst apart the moment you take one in. You will only survive if you are really a super genius with an incredibly powerful sea of willpower while the Eternal character is also highly compatible with you. Only then would you have a tiny chance of succeeding.

"This would be even harder for the single character faction. For our faction, we have numerous characters and a character technique. Thus, we can still forcefully use the character technique to suppress the Eternal character. Meanwhile, subduing an Eternal character would be extremely difficult for the single character faction."

Su Yu nodded. But he was actually busy thinking about something else.

Bai Feng said that his martial uncle was one such person. And when Su Yu recalled what Bai Feng had said in the past, he suddenly asked, "Teacher, has Teacher Liu received one such inheritance as well?"

"Yeah." Bai Feng couldn't be bothered to hide anything, "The fifth principal left a character behind. That character was eventually taken away by Martial Uncle. Maybe he has already absorbed it into his sea of willpower. Maybe not. I don't really know either.

"Your Teacher Liu used to be an extremely talented freak of the academy. But he eventually ended up crippled. This character might be related to that. Personally, I have a different guess. That might be more than a single character. Instead, an entire racial ability character has been passed down by the fifth principal."

Su Yu blinked. Racial ability character? Was that really the case? Their research center had not even completed the research on that. Had the fifth principal formed one such character back then?

If that was the case, then the fifth principal would really be the person closest to entering the Eternal Realm through willpower cultivation.

Bai Feng started walking again. He pointed at a large machine and said, "This is the centrifuge. We use it to separate components of blood essence. Generally, when a drop of blood essence takes form, it is almost impossible to split that drop. This machine is the only way we can do so."

"This is a willpower examination machine..."

Su Yu was very interested in this machine. Willpower examination machine? The machine was basically a small room. How did it work? When Bai Feng saw Su Yu's reaction, he smiled and walked into the room. Inside the room, a burst of willpower erupted.

On a screen connected to the room, some words appeared.

Willpower grade: Peak second grade

Opened soul apertures: 30 - 40

Number of Divine Characters: 15 - 25

Overall evaluation: Ninth-stage Skysoar Realm

What was that?
