Chapter 380: If I'm Brave Enough, The Whole Academy Could Be Mine (1)

Wentan Research Center.

Su Yu had been staying indoors.

His injuries weren't light. Even with the medicines his martial uncle had sent over, his right arm had not fully healed up.

It was already the 10th of October. It was also the third day after Bai Feng's departure. During the past few days, Su Yu had not attempted to call Bai Feng and the others to find out what was happening. And Bai Feng had not contacted him either.

Su Yu was worried that Bai Feng was in the process of researching Liu Wenyan, so he didn't dare to call. And communicators might not be safe communication channels. While Su Yu was letting his right arm rest, his communicator rang. He thought it was Bai Feng and hurriedly picked up the call, but it was actually Xia Huyou.

...

Outside Wentan Research Center.

Xia Huyou was looking around while waiting for Su Yu. When Su Yu came out, he smiled, "Su Yu, let's talk inside. It doesn't feel right to talk outside."

Su Yu couldn't even be bothered to entertain that request. That was totally out of the question.

Too many people were paying attention to the Wentan Research Center. And there was still quite a lot of important information in the research center. Even the data of ability blood essence paled in comparison to some other information stored in their research center.

For example, the information about racial ability characters and the Soul Devouring Art was definitely more important than the information about ability blood essence. This damn fatty was definitely trying to take advantage of him.

"Sit."

Su Yu said before sitting down on the stairs in front of the door. Xia Huyou felt slightly awkward that he was seen through, but he did not mind and sat down smiling.

"Su Yu, didn't you say that you want to auction the Soul Devouring Art? It has been a few days and you're already starting to use it. It must already be ready, right? Why are you still not selling it?"

"Has it been long?" Su Yu rolled his eyes, "It has only been a few days."

He had only made his announcement on the 3rd in the challenge ring. Only a week had passed since then. Why was this fatty so impatient?

Xia Huyou anxiously said, "Su Yu, you don't understand. A lot of people are paying close attention after you defeated Zhu Hong and the others yesterday with the Soul Devouring Art. I'll be honest. The number of people eyeing you will surpass what you can handle soon if you don't sell the art now. Your faction is already in a bad situation. Be careful lest you give someone the chance to fish in troubled water."

"Fish in troubled water?"

Su Yu had a pensive look. Was that possible?

Yes!

Originally, only the single character faction was truly against them. The others only participated for the fifth principal's Divine Character. Warriors had generally stayed clear of their conflict.

But now, he had delayed selling the Soul Devouring Art. Perhaps even some warriors would be dragged into the conflict as a result. As far as many people were concerned, this was an art derived by Bai Feng. Thus, they all believed that Bai Feng knew the art as well.

When Xia Huyou saw Su Yu in thought, he smiled, "So? Am I right?"

"Yes. You're right." Su Yu nodded, "I have no problem selling the art. In truth, this art is good, but it is nothing too special. Against a Skysoar cultural researcher with second-grade willpower, it can only cause them some pain, unlike my current opponents with first-grade willpower who I can burn through easily."

The Soul Devouring Art was a good art, but at only 36 acupoints, its strength was limited. Of course, if one could fuse all its acupoints into one at a higher cultivation level, the art would receive a considerable enhancement.

Xia Huyou hurriedly said, "What do you think about letting the Xia Family handle the auction for you?"

"No thanks." Su Yu sank into a short silence before saying, "I don't intend to sell it to just anyone. I'm still afraid of getting in trouble after accidentally selling it to the Myriad Race Cult. Fatty-cough, cough. Huyou, tell me something. How many people from the other prefectures are currently present in Great Xia?"

Xia Huyou was somewhat speechless. He thought for a bit and coughed, "Uhm...we barely have anyone from other prefectures in Great Xia."

Su Yu glanced at Xia Huyou and said, "You know what I mean. There is no need to lie to me about this. Our business relationship can be maintained long term. Don't set your sights on only this transaction. Furthermore, your Xia Family can't give me what I want."

Xia Huyou frowned and said, "Su Yu...certain things are not really as they seem. The Xia Family is still quite overbearing. We are not being neutral and allowing the fight to play out because we can't suppress the single and multiple character factions. The main reason is...very complicated."

"Complicated?" Su Yu smiled, "How complicated can it be? It's simply a matter of you losing control over your own prefecture. How is that complicated? Do you believe me when I say that when news of this spread, the masses would be furious?"

Xia Huyou smiled, "Well, that won't happen. Because...news of this won't spread."

Su Yu frowned. He glanced at Xia Huyou and said, "Since the Xia Family is not doing anything, I'll look for some other helper. I won't be selling the art for money..."

"I know what you mean." Xia Huyou said, "You want to involve the warriors in the conflict? To be perfectly honest, would anyone get involved in the affairs of a bunch of Mountainseas or even Sunmoons for a single Soul Devouring Art? It was possible that even those close to the Invincible Realm are involved in this conflict as well. And this is, strictly speaking, an internal affair of cultural researchers. If you really do that, you will invite the hostility of all cultural researchers."

Xia Huyou earnestly said, "Nobody will get involved in the conflict, including those from the other prefectures. The Xia Family is staying neutral while Great Zhou is maintaining that this is a matter of the fifth principal's inheritance and not their business. Only the Great Zhou Cultural Research Academy is involved..."

Xia Huyou solemnly said, "I believe you know about some things as well. This involves the death of an Invincible. We can all understand the anger of that person from Great Zhou. There's nothing to be done since the data is missing. But they are refusing to show the Divine Character of the fifth principal as well. Was the life of an Invincible so cheap?"

Su Yu frowned, "Was that Great Zhou Invincible really killed while fighting for the fifth principal?"

"Yes!" Xia Huyou sternly said, "That is really true! I asked some seniors about this as well. Back then, the fifth principal was attacked by two Invincibles. At the time, there weren't a lot of Invincibles in that area. All of them were overseeing other areas in the Allheaven Battlefield. They had to make their way over from very far away to give the fifth principal aid, but the myriad races were prepared. Numerous Invincibles showed themselves and intercepted all reinforcements."

Xia Huyou thought for a bit and said, "The fifth principal was actually quite close to that person from Great Zhou. At the time, that person had just broken through while the fifth principal was on the cusp of breakthrough. Thus, the two could be considered experts of the same level. And because of that, they maintained close contact with each other. But for the sake of reinforcing the fifth principal, he was ambushed by two Invincibles on his way. Ultimately, he was killed."

"The fifth principal was close to that person?"

"Yes." Xia Huyou nodded, "To be honest, not even Great Xia King can say anything about this matter. Previously, there were rumors that this was a scheme by the Xia Family because the Zhou Family was getting too strong after producing two Invincibles. They claimed that Great Xia King had intentionally arrived late during the day of the battle."

Xia Huyou sighed, "Of the people involved in that battle, Great Xia King was actually the strongest. After defeating the enemies sent to tangle with him, he had two options. He could either reinforce that person from the Zhou Family or reinforce the fifth principal. And you know his choice. He headed toward the fifth principal. Unfortunately, he was still too late.

"The Zhou Family had no grounds to claim that he had made the wrong choice. After all, the fifth principal was someone from Great Xia. But because of that, Great Xia King was placed in an awkward position. He wasn't the right person to call for peace between Great Zhou and the multiple character faction."

Xia Huyou was feeling very helpless. The Xia Family's hands were tied. Great Xia King was the strongest of the human Invincibles who had tried to help the fifth principal. He had the chance to reinforce both the fifth principal and the person from Great Zhou. He believed that the Invincible from the Zhou Family wouldn't die so easily. After all, not even an Invincible could kill another Invincible easily.

Alas, reality proved that Great Xia King was wrong. He had overestimated that person.

Su Yu thought for a bit and said, "Of the two dead myriad race Invincibles, one was killed by the fifth principal. Was the other killed by that person from the Zhou Family?"

"No..." Xia Huyou looked at Su Yu speechlessly. He said, "Like I said, Great Xia King went to reinforce the fifth principal and fought the enemy off. Naturally, the other Invincible was killed by Great Xia King."

"..."

Su Yu was shocked. Great Xia King?

He had thought that the second Invincible and the Zhou Family member had killed each other. But the second Invincible had actually been killed by Great Xia King?

"Then when you talk about fighting off the enemy..."

"Exactly. Another Invincible appeared to stop the fifth principal from advancing." Xia Huyou smiled, "My ancestor is great, right? But there is no need to tell everyone about that. After all, with the deaths of the fifth principal and that fresh Invincible from the Zhou Family, the human race was the one suffering the bigger loss in that battle."

He shook his head with regret. There was no doubt that the fifth principal was very strong. But that Zhou Family member was not bad as well. He was still very young in comparison to people like Great Zhou King.

He was also someone who had affirmed his dao after the start of the Anping Calendar. One could say that he had endless potential. Unfortunately, both of them had perished. They were worth a lot more than two Invincibles.

Su Yu understood Xia Huyou's meaning. The Xia Family had probably stayed out of this conflict due to Great Xia King’s shame and guilt. But as a result, the multiple character faction suffered.

Su Yu frowned, "So we are not going to be given any protection even within Great Xia? Also, the members of Great Xia's single character faction are still the people of Great Xia, not Great Zhou. Is the Xia Family really going to stay out of this?"

Xia Huyou said, "It's pointless to tell me all this. I'm not an important individual in the Xia Family. Marquis Xia is the one currently in charge of Great Xia. If he wants to stay out of this, then there's nothing we can do. Do you want to ask Marquis Xia yourself? Or maybe you can try asking Xia Chan?"

Ask his mother!

Wait, no, if this fellow was really Xia Longwu's son, then it would be a matter of asking his second granduncle.

"Xia Family...I really can't understand what you guys are thinking." Su Yu went straight to the point, "I can sell the Soul Devouring Art to the Xia Family, but you must guarantee the safety of my two teachers. How about that?"

"We can't." Xia Huyou helplessly said, "We really can't. The moment the Xia Family makes a stand, things might get even more troublesome. The Zhou Family might be forced to do something as well."

"..."

Su Yu cursed before saying, "I refuse to believe that anyone else apart from the Xia Family can call the shots in Great Xia."

"Yes, the Xia Family has the final say in Great Xia. But to be honest, it is possible that...the Xia Family also wants to take a look at that Divine Character."
