Chapter 342: Trouble Is Coming (1)

Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.

Wentan Research Center.

While things were getting intense and chaotic outside, it was peaceful and calm inside the research center.

While staying within the academy, Su Yu did not feel much threat. At the very least, there were rules in the academy. And the rules were very important for Wan Tiansheng. Even when he tried snatching Zheng Yunhui's blood essence previously, he had only done so in accordance with the rules. After all, the blood essence was used in an illegal transaction. It was well within his rights to snatch it.

Naturally, his act of breaking through Hong Tan's defenses to directly communicate with Su Yu was in a gray area of rules.

At present, Su Yu had entered the prison zone yet again.

...

Underground.

The creatures were already used to being starved. Thus, when they sensed Su Yu's arrival, they were even overjoyed at his early arrival. It had only been seven days! Normally, he would only come after ten days!

They were supposed to be fed once every three days, but that had been reduced into a beautiful dream. None of them believed that Su Yu would actually feed them so frequently.

While Su Yu walked down the stairs, the creatures all started moving in excitement. They had no choice but to move. The fire crow had remained still during Su Yu's previous visit and he still regretted it now. He had been fed one less time than all the other creatures.

The moment Su Yu arrived, the white civet said, "Little Brother Su Yu, did you manage to get any merit points from the cultivation methods I gave you?" This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

Su Yu slapped his forehead and laughed, "I completely forgot about that! I have been too busy conducting research with my teacher. I have completely forgotten to submit the cultivation methods. I'll do it next time."

The white civet turned dispirited. He forgot! She had been looking forward to getting more source qi liquid, but Su Yu had actually forgotten about it. This kid really had a terrible memory. It really wasn't so surprising anymore that he would often forget to feed them.

Su Yu did not waste his time saying anything. He fed the creatures a drop of source qi liquid each. Then, he looked at the cage housing the water elemental.

"Number one, do you want to have a chat?"

The water elemental assumed a faceless humanoid body and said, "What do you wish to talk about?"

"Water Path Art." Su Yu went straight to the point, "The research center is trying to come out with a foundation cultural art suitable for the human race. I'm talking about something those in the Mental Tempering Stage can use.

"The five elemental race seems to be quite proficient in this subject. Your Water Path Art is one such foundation cultural art that requires soul apertures instead of acupoints. You are aware of that, right?"

The water elemental replied, "Like I said, we know these cultivation methods innately. Our apertures are innately open. Thus, we don't really know much about those apertures.

"Furthermore, the seas of willpower of different races can be different as well. This method might be able to open more of my apertures, but it might not work for humans. You humans have killed a lot of five elementals before so you should be aware of this."

Su Yu nodded, "I understand. But I still wish to give it a try. This is how a true cultural researcher should be like. Who would be willing to give up without trying? The moment I succeed, this will be an accomplishment that will leave my name in the annals of history. Wealth, status, and fame will all come toward me."

Su Yu nodded and continued asking more questions. The water elemental answered patiently.

After a long while, Su Yu tossed a drop of source qi liquid into the cage and said, "Thank you. If I have anything I don't understand in the future, I'll come look for you again. I will remember your contribution after completing the Water Path Art that is suitable for human practice."

...

The water elemental didn't even feel like entertaining that remark. If this kid could really come out with the cultural art so easily, he...would be willing to start living as waste water from now on!

Su Yu was about to leave when the mountaindrill bull hurriedly said, "Su Yu, you haven't fed me!"

Su Yu turned around and glared at the bull. This bull looked honest, but he was actually quite treacherous.

"You're getting nothing. I'm starving you for a month." Su Yu said, "I asked someone. Your blood essence is problematic. The royalties of the mountaindrill bull are capable of attaching some willpower and life force to their blood essence and regrowing themselves from a drop of blood. And you had not said anything about that. Were you trying to plot against me? Do you take me for a fool? Even if I know nothing, I can ask others."

"You misunderstand me!"

The mountaindrill bull wailed miserably. One month! Everything was over. He would really starve to death.

"I am only a Skysoar! How am I supposed to do something like regrowing from a drop of blood? Su Yu, that is not an ability I have!"

"Stop talking nonsense." Su Yu said, "The more honest one looks, the more treacherous one actually is. You're even worse than the suanni. Although the suanni hasn't been too honest either, he has at least given me a heaven-grade technique."

The suanni had nothing to say. How had he been dishonest? He had been extremely honest and obedient lately! He had even stopped roaring recently! He had only been obediently waiting for Su Yu to feed him!

Su Yu did not waste his time and left after he was done in the prison zone.

Silence descended.

After a while, the water elemental smiled, "Silly bull, it's your loss."

The bull didn't even feel like talking.

The shadow said, "He might not be too knowledgeable, but he was right. He can ask others. This Su Yu...isn't stupid. Also, have you noticed? He seems to have grown a lot in strength."

"Are you sure?" The suanni questioned, "From my observation, his physical body still isn't absorbing source qi too quickly. I can't directly scan him, but I can see that he is probably still at the middle-stage Great Strength Realm."

"Middle-stage Great Strength Realm?" The shadow said, "I doubt so. The water elemental must have sensed this as well. Su Yu seems to be hiding some of his opened acupoints. That is probably an effect of a Divine Character. It works similarly to the characters of our shadow race. Thus, his real strength is definitely higher."

The water elemental had turned into a puddle of water as he said, "Exactly. He is probably at the late-stage."

The other creatures sank into silence. That kid was growing too fast. With his heaven-grade technique, he could very well be one of the strongest Great Strength cultivators in the area. He was also extremely talented.

"Has he really been asking so much about cultural arts today because he's trying to make one?"

The shadow was still doubtful. That would be an extremely difficult task. In fact, even the Knowledge Seeking Realm had a group of experts focusing on this topic of research. Or to be precise, this was a topic of research the various academies were also engaged in.

Was Su Yu thinking of getting involved as well? Was he not worried about wasting too much time instead? But none of them had an answer. None of them knew what Su Yu was thinking.
