Chapter 336: Words Can Also Kill (2)

One teacher and one student engaged in a battle of words. Both were constantly dancing around the loopholes of the rules.

One argued that no frame of time had been given when the rewards were promised.

One argued that no transaction was happening. Everyone had simply lost the willpower texts they had borrowed from their friends.

In any case, Su Yu was going to make sure the single character faction would bleed this time. He would ensure that they would bleed massively. They would not be able to get off easily.

Since those people were trying to annoy him by offering rewards for his defeat, he was more than happy to play that game. He happened to be very good at annoying others as well.

At that moment, even the elders had been reduced into background characters. None of them said anything, allowing the two youngsters to go at it. As elders, it would be too embarrassing if they had to personally argue against a kid.

"Su Yu, this is still not acceptable. We promised to reward the ones capable of defeating you with one willpower text per victory. Transferring the rights to the reward...is not acceptable. In the academy, buying and selling cultivation methods in private are not allowed. This naturally applies to the rights to obtain cultivation methods as well. The only way you can transfer the rights is by paying the copyright fee.

"And the payment must be made to the academy. Take the War God Art as an example. To teach someone else this method, you need to first be qualified to do so. On top of that, you also need to pay a fee of 100 merit points. Only then can you get the rights to teach it. As a student of the academy, are you not aware of this?"

Xia Huyou was greatly troubled upon hearing those words. Was Liu Hong trying to ruin this transaction? Was he supposed to pay the fee of 100 merit points for each student selling their rights to him? That would only push his cost to an unreasonable level.

Su Yu smiled, "I know all that. But there are two editions of the War God Art. One is the profound-grade edition and the other is the earth-grade edition. You were referring to the earth-grade, but I wasn't talking about that. Also, I never said that you can only borrow War God Art willpower texts from your friends.

"They can always use the Great Strength Art instead. This is a public cultivation method in the entire Human Realm. It can be taught for free. Since you guys have not mentioned any specific willpower text when offering the reward, then everyone can simply ask for Great Strength Art willpower texts as the reward.

"As long as the elders are willing to write, it doesn't matter if it is the Great Strength Art or even the Source Opening Codex. A willpower text is still a willpower text. But be sure each willpower text is a peak Mountainsea willpower text. That is something you guys did specify when promising the reward. Don't forget that."

"..."

Liu Hong looked at Su Yu and smiled. But inwardly, he was cursing. Well done, little bastard! He seemed really well-versed with the academy rules. Both of them were using the rules as the basis for their arguments. This chapter was originally shared via ReadScape.

Listening to them, many people had an illusion that the rules had basically been created for people like these two. In their hands, the rules were akin to toys.

Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

Wan Tiansheng was staring at the sky blankly. Were there...so many loopholes in the rules? Were the rules...so lax? Why did it feel like those two bastards could play with the rules as they wished? It almost felt like the rules only exist to serve them! He shook his head and started contemplating the matter of rewriting the academy rules.

Near the challenge ring.

Liu Hong stopped arguing with Su Yu and transmitted his voice to Zhou Mingren, "Faculty Head, this fellow is very difficult. He is clearly encouraging the students to sell the debt to the students from the major families and have those families create trouble for us. Most of the students will be happy with a free class, but I'm afraid some will not be satisfied with just that."

At this time, Zhou Mingren had calmed down considerably. He said, "Those willing to attend the free classes may leave now. Often, researchers will share some of their own unique experiences during their classes. This is not something you can get with just some merit points. But if you don't mind waiting, you are free to wait for me to finish writing the willpower texts..."

He stopped and looked at the students. Many of them started hesitating, and some even started feeling fearful upon meeting his gaze. Before long, the students started leaving.

Instantly, over a thousand students left. And some who wanted to stay also decided to leave after seeing that so many students were leaving. They were only here to get some benefits for themselves. They should know when to stop.

If they keep pushing it, they might end up with nothing even after offending these experts. That would not be worth it. There was strength in numbers, but the numbers were clearly decreasing. No matter what, they had already gained something today. This was good enough for them.

Su Yu was truly incredible. Many of them couldn't help but to admire Su Yu. He had dug a big hole for the single character faction this time. All their researchers were forced to open a free class each. Sure, that was nothing, but some people were unwilling to conduct even a single free class.

Meanwhile, Liu Hong was cursing inwardly. Screw you! Su Yu had decided to throw caution to the wind! Since he had already offended the elders badly, he decided that he was no longer afraid of having his previous scam exposed.

In any case, there was no way Zhou Mingren and the other elders would let the incident today slide. Thus, he might as well expose the previous scam and screw Liu Hong over in the process.

"Su Yu, stop talking nonsense..."

Su Yu smiled, "What did I say? I said nothing. I will never do anything that is against the rules. But I really need to thank you. I wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly without your help. Thank you."

Su Yu then leaped off the ring and said, "I still have something to take care of so I'll be taking my leave. Bye. I have been busy with research recently. I can't afford to waste more time on these challenges. By the way, please spread this news for me. The Wentan Research Center has successfully derived the Soul Devouring Art. With this cultivation method, you can alter your source qi and grant it the ability to burn and corrode willpower. We will be holding an auction for the copyright of this cultivation method soon.

"This is a martial cultivation method, not a willpower or martial technique. Don't forget this. For warriors, this will be an excellent weapon against opposing cultural researchers in the battlefield. We welcome all buyers. Regardless of whether you are from Great Xia or a different prefecture, everyone is allowed to attend the auction. We hope to spread this cultivation method and increase the overall strength of humanity.

"For a period of time after this, the multiple character faction and Wentan Research Center will become the center of attention in the Human Realm. Some people should think carefully before trying to pull anything stupid against us lest you end up offending all human warriors in existence.

"As for the willpower texts, you guys can deal with it yourselves. I won't be getting involved in that matter. I still need to participate in the final experiments of the Soul Devouring Art. Thank you for the 40,000 merit points. We have only gotten half of the total amount, but that is enough. Without that injection of funds, we wouldn't have been able to complete our research on the Soul Devouring Art so quickly."

Su Yu then drifted away, his white clothes flowing behind him. Chen Yong followed behind him silently, as though he was the student here. In truth, he was only there to ensure Su Yu's safety. Everyone was in stunned silence.

Suddenly, Zheng Yunhui exclaimed, "The Soul Devouring Art can alter one's source qi?"

"Yeah."

Su Yu answered without even looking at him.

"How many acupoints?"

"36. And almost half of them are overlapped acupoints."

"So it actually only requires around 18 additional acupoints?"

"Pretty much."

Zheng Yunhui's expression changed as he ran off unhesitatingly. He needed to go home and look for the old man. A cultivation method that could alter source qi. Not only that, but it could grant one's source qi the ability to harm willpower. Holy shit. This was an incredible cultivation method.

It required less than 20 additional acupoints. Sure, it wasn't easy opening that many acupoints, but for geniuses, this was a great opportunity for them to further increase their strength. This method would only grant them an additional trump card against cultural researchers.

Some other people were also silently leaving the area. Some were leaving to notify their families, and some were leaving to notify their backers. For warriors, this was a massive opportunity.

Zhou Mingren's eyes flickered. He understood what Su Yu was trying to do. The kid had chosen this time to make this announcement. Clearly, the kid intended to turn the multiple character faction into the center of attention. Was the kid trying to prevent him from carrying acts of revenge?

Zhou Mingren and the other elders remained silent. They would think about revenge later. The appearance of the Soul Devouring Art would attract numerous gazes toward the Wentan Research Center. More importantly, would the transmission of that cultivation method harm the single character faction? And what were they supposed to do with the remaining students?

Zhou Mingren was about to take this chance to leave when a shy girl among the crowd said, "Faculty Head Zhou, I only want three willpower texts. I only won three times. Su Yu told me to win ten times but I refused."

The girl had a timid face. When Zhou Mingren's gaze landed on her, she looked like she was about to cry as she said, "I won all the matches myself. My dad never gave me any merit points yet he keeps demanding me to grow strong. I only have three merit points left and all of them have been spent on this...Grandpa Zhou, are you going to renege on this?"

Zhou Mingren suddenly found the girl familiar-looking.

Beside him, a researcher said through voice transmission, "This is Ji Xiaomeng, the youngest daughter of the Talent Fostering Bureau's director."

Finally, Zhou Mingren recalled who she was. This was the youngest child of that old fellow, also his sole daughter. As this was a daughter he had gotten at an old age, he doted on her very much. During her tenth birthday, he had invited numerous experts over to celebrate her birthday.

He treated this daughter much better than his other children. So it was this girl? Zhou Mingren's head hurt. Damn it! Damn that Su Yu!
