Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 556: Countdown (2)

Su Yu's hands were trembling as he held onto the stele. He did not know what to say.

"Take care of it. Don't lose it." Chen Yong said, "Don't worry about us. No matter what, your grandteacher is someone on the verge of reaching the Sunmoon Realm. They wouldn't dare to push us too far. If we really decide to throw caution to the wind, they will suffer as well."

"There is even less need for you to worry about me." Chen Yong smiled, "Your grandteacher might have told you something. Don't worry. I am cultivating the acupoint fusion method. I don't intend to die so early. Sure, I did plan to abandon my physical body and advance with only my willpower before killing some of my enemies."

"But this acupoint fusion method has given me the chance to strengthen my body as well." Chen Yong's eyes flickered as he said, "If I can open 144 acupoints, fuse them, and push my physical cultivation to the Mountainsea Realm, I might be able to instantly push my willpower cultivation to the ninth-stage Mountainsea Realm."

Su Yu was shocked.

Ninth-stage Mountainsea Realm!

Chen Yong smiled, "Thus, there is no need for you to worry about me. You also don't need to worry about your senior sister either. I won't do anything rash. If I can push my body to the Mountainsea Realm, I am confident I can survive even an encounter with a Sunmoon."

Su Yu was completely speechless. He was quite astonished to hear that. Ninth-stage Mountainsea Realm. His martial uncle was truly patient.

Chen Yong smiled, "Don't worry that you would implicate us. Don't think about leaving the multiple character faction. You don't want to give anyone the chance to ruin your reputation and block your future return. You are innocent. You are forced to leave. Don't forget this.

"I don't know what you intend to do. But be patient. If they go too far, I can simply break through and kill a few of their Mountainseas. I doubt Wan Tiansheng would kill me. He might only send me to the Vanguard Regiment. That's nothing."

Su Yu must keep a clean name. Su Yu must not receive the label of a defector. Anything he decided to do in the future, he needed a proper cause for it.

And by avoiding being labeled a defector, he would have just cause to return in the future for his revenge. If he was labeled a defector, his return could instead be viewed as an attack on Great Xia by Great Ming.

Chen Yong did not want to see Su Yu severing his way back.

After saying all that, Chen Yong picked up the jade talismans and said, "I'll be accepting these, but you're not allowed to refuse the stele."

"Even if you want to do something against the single character faction, you won't be able to do anything to the two seventh-stage Mountainseas of theirs. It's too dangerous to try anything against both of them. I will keep Sun Xiang occupied for you. You only need to kill Yu Hong for me."

Chen Yong's eyes turned cold as he said, "The attack on me back then that had caused the death of your senior sister's parents must be related to her. Since we won't be able to get her to confess, just kill her. As for Sun Xiang, we can deal with him in the future."

Su Yu nodded. A thick killing intent erupted from him. So the death of his senior sister's parents was actually related to Yu Hong?

"Martial Uncle, is she a part of the Myriad Race Cult?"

"No." Chen Yong calmly answered, "She's not. If she is a cultist, she would have been dead long ago. But my guess is that she had sold our whereabouts to the cult. That's only a guess, but I'm confident she was involved. I have been suspecting her for a very long time."

"I see."

Chen Yong asked, "Can you do it? If you can't, give up."

"I can."

Su Yu clenched his teeth. As long as he planned things out properly, he would be able to do it.

"Those beasts would need to join hands to deal with her. Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Su Yu nodded, "I have more Mountainseas."

"You can't trust outsiders. Even those prisoner beasts are more trustworthy than outsiders." Chen Yong said, "Those prisoner beasts are unlikely to betray you. Of course, it's not like your grandteacher doesn't have any contingencies in place. If they do end up betraying you, crush this thing..."

He took out a jade talisman and handed it to Su Yu before saying, "This thing won't kill them, but it can drive them mad. The moment they go crazy, Great Xia would make a move. Mounts who have decided to betray their masters will not be spared."

"When the Great Xia experts make an appearance, they would be able to ensure your safety as well. But at that time, you would no longer be able to pull your tricks against the single character faction. For now, Great Xia is turning a blind eye to what you're doing."

"I understand." Su Yu took the jade talisman.

Chen Yong asked, "Are you taking some willpower texts with you? Why don't you take a look at the books depository? Take everything you want with you. Without the character technique wall, I don't care about my position here anymore. Just take whatever you want."

That was really generous. There were tens of thousands of valuable willpower texts in the books depository. His martial uncle was allowing him to take anything he wanted.

Su Yu smiled, "Forget it. I don't need so many of them. If I really take them with me...I'm afraid that a certain person would be making a move against me."

"Hehe...true." Chen Yong laughed, "Forget that."

He said, "People like us can't leave as we can easily attract an even bigger trouble. Thus, we won't be adding more trouble on top of what you're going to face. Take good care of yourself."

"Yeah. Thanks, Martial Uncle."

"You can leave now."

Chen Yong waved his hand, looking like he wasn't in the mood to say more. Su Yu did not hesitate and left. After Su Yu left, Chen Yong remained silent for a short while before taking out a voice transmission talisman. He sent a message through the talisman.

Then, he shut his eyes and withdrew the killing intent he was emanating. Su Yu had run out of patience, but he was still patient.

...

That day, Su Yu continued walking all over the academy. As usual, he would intentionally greet any single character faction member he saw to annoy them. The single character faction members were so enraged that they wished they could stay indoors forever.

Time passed slowly.

Su Yu was not wasting his remaining time. Even as he prepared for his departure, he wasn't slacking on his cultivation.

With more strength, he would be able to protect himself better. Without a grotto, he could fuse around 16 acupoints every 5 days.

On the 15th of December, 11 days after the anniversary, Su Yu entered the seventh-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

If nothing unexpected were to happen, he would be able to reach the ninth stage by the 25th. He had yet to discover the 360 acupoints he wanted, but he still continued opening new acupoints. Unfortunately, he was going to run out of acupoints to open soon.

...

At the same time.

A small chaos had erupted in Nanyuan. First, some Myriad Race Cult members were spotted. Next, some beasts appeared in the wilderness near the city.

This was a result of the missions Su Yu had issued in the Mutual Aid Club. He had offered ample rewards for these missions.

It didn't matter how the members did it. They could have their family do it, or they could do it themselves, or they could even hire some lunatics to do it. They would be rewarded with a large amount of mutual aid points.

And the other rewards were also very attractive.

Aperture opening method.

Foundation cultural art.

Even the superior version of the acupoint fusion method was being offered as a reward.

The Mutual Aid Club did not have too many members, but Hu Zongji's family was based in Tianshui City which was not far away from Nanyuan. Thus, he could easily get his family to release some wild beasts near Nanyuan. It wouldn't even be too risky. Or they could simply chase some wild beasts in the wilderness in Nanyuan's direction.

As for the small squad of Martial Dragon Guards stationed in Nanyuan, they would have to do their best to deal with these beasts, but it also wasn't a big deal if they couldn't remove all these beasts.

The people of Nanyuan would stay in the city most of the time. On the rare occasions they needed to leave, they only needed to be careful and avoid the beasts. It wouldn't be too dangerous.

Nevertheless, this was still a trouble plaguing Nanyuan. At the moment, everything was still under control so Nanyuan had yet to request outside help.

...

Recently, the single character faction was very quiet.

There was no helping it. Su Yu had been spending a lot of time running all over the academy to annoy them. These people were tired of seeing him everywhere, but there was nothing they could do to him.

Since Su Yu was no longer accepting challenges from Skysoars, the single character faction could only send Mental Tempering Stage students after him in the academy. And which Mental Tempering Stage student would be willing to pick a fight with Su Yu?

After Di Feng's death, Huang Qifeng and the others had completely lost the courage to face Su Yu. Thus, they could barely be seen in public anymore.

20th of December.

An unremarkable piece of news started spreading in the academy. Recently, the wilderness was infected with beasts. The smaller border cities were being disturbed by these beasts. Nanyuan was one of these small border cities.

Nanyuan was too weak. The Martial Dragon Guards had sent some people over to remove the beasts, but they found that these beasts were actually quite weak. And it wasn't cheap to move an elite army like the Martial Dragon Guards.

In the past, such issues would generally be solved by the academies. After all, it was much cheaper this way. They could simply use it as an opportunity to train their students. This time, most of the beasts creating trouble were around the Infinite Strength Realm. There was also a small number of Skysoar beasts.

...

Foreign Students Faculty.

Xia Qing's villa.

Looking at the group in front of her, Xia Qing said, "Su Yu has started moving. We are all members of minor races. An opportunity like this is very rare. Do we help Su Yu, get rewarded once and earn the favor of the multiple character faction or do we try to earn the favor of the single character faction instead. It is time for us to make the choice. It would be too late for us to choose after setting off."

Xia Qing scanned the group as she waited for a reply. These were all the members of minor races. Most of them were only protected by a Mountainsea protector. Some were even weak enough that they were protected by Cloudbreach dao protectors.

She looked at Bai Ce from the fox race and said, "If we're going to befriend the single character faction, we need to inform them about Su Yu's plan now. From what I can see, the single character faction is still completely clueless."

Bai Ce nodded, "That's not surprising. Su Yu is a very cautious person. If he hadn't informed you in advance, would you be able to guess that he was actually doing so many things to path the way for his trip out of the academy?

"With his Mountainsea beast protector and your Mountainsea dao protector, the two of you would be more than capable of dealing with the single character faction. After all, they might end up underestimating him and send only a few Cloudbreach cultivators after him. Even if they overestimate him and send a Mountainsea, that might not be enough. They would end up with disastrous losses."
