Chapter 352: Just Ask For It! (2)
"Kid..." For a moment, Zhao Li was speechless. He said, "You must have learned about something. I'll be frank, my father was the fourth principal. I have been ignoring that Divine Character he left behind. Why? Because he had grown thanks to the support of the academy. He represented the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.
"Of course, strictly speaking, that grotto should be mine. If I refuse to acknowledge that, some Invincible families would probably have some issues with me for being the one to renounce the benefits brought by my seniors. For these people, what is the point of being the descendents of an expert if they can't enjoy the benefits brought by their seniors?
"You only need to pay 100 merit points per entry. That is actually very cheap. You need to know that the academy needs to spend money maintaining the grotto as well. The academy is earning some money from running the grotto, but in truth, the profit is negligible."
Su Yu nodded, "Teacher, it doesn't matter if I can't enter for free. I only wish to gain the right of entry for a few of my close friends. We can pay for their visits, but they don't have enough total earned merit. You know this. It is too hard for someone to earn total earned merit before reaching the Skysoar Realm."
"Looking at you, it doesn't seem difficult at all." Zhao Li joked. "Sure. The payment is for the sake of ensuring the operation of the grotto. As long as they are willing to pay the entrance fee, I don't mind giving you a special treatment when it comes to the required total earned merit."
He then searched a shabby couch in the room. After a while, he fished out a black token and said, "With this, you can send the people you want inside. Little Huang and Little Nie who are in charge of guarding the grotto will know what to do after seeing this token."
Little Huang...and Little Nie. Su Yu felt incredibly awkward hearing how Zhao Li was addressing the two seniors. Little Nie was still somewhat acceptable, but Little Huang reminded him of the dog of a grandpa next door back at Nanyuan.
"Thank you, Teacher."
Su Yu hurriedly accepted the token with a joyous expression. This was a great gift! With this token, he would be able to send his friends into the grotto. They would still need to pay, but this token would still save them a lot of trouble.
People like Hu Zongji and Lin Yao would probably take a very long time to gather enough total earned merit. After all, these were the people who couldn't get top 10 in the monthly examinations, couldn't get into the Top 100 Ranking, and were unqualified to even accept the regular missions of the academy.
The token felt somewhat cold to touch. The surface of the token only had a single hammer and the character "Zhao" on it.
Su Yu thanked happily, "Sorry for troubling you, Teacher. By the way, I found that my willpower has grown greatly after being hammered by you previously. When I tested my willpower, I found that it has reached the peak of the first tier."
"Peak first-tier?" Zhao Li nodded, "Not bad. But my hammer isn't that magical. It's thanks to yourself. Your willpower was already well-tempered before that. I only further solidified your willpower."
"Teacher, was that the effect of the Soul Expanding Art?" This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
"Yeah."
Zhao Li wasn't surprised that Su Yu would know about this. He would be a fool to still be clueness after all this time.
Zhao Li sank into contemplation. After a while, he said, "Back then, I ran out of energy during the forging process. Supposedly, an earth-grade weapon requires 73 golden veins. I was capable of forging a weapon with 73 golden veins. But I was too ambitious and greedy. I believed that I could forge a weapon with more golden veins."
Zhao Li shook his head and sighed, "I was too arrogant. I used the best materials I could find to build the foundation for my weapon's future advancement into the heaven-grade. Because of that, the difficulty of forging increased. And after I fused my main Divine Character into the weapon, I further increased the difficulty of the forging. At the 72nd golden vein, I ran out of steam. I failed to produce the 73rd vein and my weapon failed to break through. And because the materials used were too strong, my main Divine Character ended up stuck in the weapon after that..."
Zhao Li exhaled deeply, "The only way to get my main Divine Character back is by destroying the weapon, but destroying the weapon will also heavily damage my character. I am also unwilling to do so to this weapon, so I have been nourishing the weapon all these years. Perhaps I would get lucky one day and the weapon would complete the advancement by itself."
"..."
Su Yu scratched his head and asked, "Teacher, can't you reforge your weapon?"
"Of course I can." Zhao Li glanced at Su Yu and said, "But I am even weaker than I used to be. You have witnessed the process of reforging golden veins previously. You know how hard it is. I can only do so if I receive help. In Great Xia, there is that one fellow with the ability to help me..."
"The sole earth-grade weaponsmith in Great Xia?"
Zhao Li curled his lips, "Yes. But I can't be bothered to waste my time talking to him. That fellow has been coveting my main Divine Character and Soul Expanding Art. I would rather be stuck in this realm forever than to seek his help."
Zhao Li looked at Su Yu regretfully, "Kid, you have a powerful willpower. If you cultivate the Soul Expanding Art, you might be strong enough to help me after reaching the Cloudbreach Realm. Why don't you join us after your multiple character faction is destroyed?"
"..."
Su Yu smiled awkwardly. That was...really straightforward. Destroyed? How destroyed would the faction need to be?
Su Yu scratched his head and said, "Teacher, why don't you teach me the Soul Expanding Art? I promise that I will help you reforge your weapon after reaching the Cloudbreach Realm. I can cultivate very fast. I will be at the Cloudbreach Realm in no time!"
Zhao Li looked at Su Yu stupefaction. Holy shit! This kid...was truly shameless.
Su Yu gave a hollow laugh, "Don't look at me like this, Teacher. I'm being serious. I can cultivate really fast!"
"Fuck off." Zhao Li said, "You're not even my direct student. What am I supposed to teach my final student if I teach you my secret technique?"
Su Yu smiled, "Teacher, I don't see you accepting a new student anytime soon. You might as well consider me as a temporary final student. Officially, the multiple character faction no longer exists. Technically, I am already majoring in the weaponsmithing faction. Are you not aware of this?"
"..."
Zhao Li was completely dumbfounded. Was that the case? So this kid was now a member of the weaponsmithing faction? That...seemed to make sense? After all, the multiple character faction no longer existed. In the academy records, Su Yu was actually registered as a member of the weaponsmithing faction even though he was still a student of the Character Faculty.
Zhao Li grabbed his white hair in confusion. Did this count? Was the kid already a member of the weaponsmithing faction instead of the multiple character faction? But why did that logic feel so off?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
