Chapter 272: Fanning The me (2)


    Bai Feng had a look of astonishment as he said, "Battle character? Not bad. Just from its name alone, it is obviously abat-type character. Very good. You actually managed to form another character. So it''s a human character?"


    "Yeah."


    "Looks like you are really verypatible with human characters. Which willpower text did you use to get this character?"


    "The Great Strength version of the War God Art you wrote for me."


    "..."


    Bai Feng waspletely speechless.


    The kid had actually formed another character from his text? Howe he had never formed a character from his own text? Was it possible that he had some sort of talent in providing willpower texts to others?


    "In that case, you now have four Divine Characters. And one of them is even a second tier character..."


    Su Yu bashfully said, "Teacher, I have two second tier characters. Have you forgotten?"


    "Huh?" Bai Feng nked out as he looked at Su Yu in confusion. Really?


    Two?


    "I thought your sole second tier character is the kill character."


    "There''s also the blood character."


    "..."


    Bai Feng started wondering if he was turning senile.


    Had the kid told him before? Howe he couldn''t remember it? He only remembered asking the kid if the new second tier character was the kill character. And the kid said yes. And gave no further boration. He dug his mind for memories of Su Yu telling him about the advancement of the blood character.


    "Oh...right. I forgot. That bastard Liu Hong told me about it..."


    Bai Feng finally remembered.


    This kid had really advanced two of his characters into the next tier. He had been too busy talking about the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem previously and hadpletely forgotten about that issue.


    Bai Feng coughed awkwardly when he realized that he seemed to have neglected this kid. But the thing was, this kid changed way too fat. He felt like each time he came out from seclusion, he would find that the kid had undergone a massive change. He was simply unable to keep up with the kid''s rate of advancement.


    "Four Divine Characters, with two second tier characters..."


    Bai Feng muttered before asking, "How many acupoints have you opened?"


    "I opened a few more..."


    "Oh."


    Bai Feng was relieved to hear that. He didn''t ask too much. He remembered that he had only entered seclusion for a few days. He started his seclusion on the 22nd. It had been less than a week.


    No matter how fast Su Yu''s growth was, he couldn''t have reached the sixth-stage Great Strength Realm during that time, right?


    Seeing that his teacher wasn''t asking more questions, Su Yu decided to not borate. His acupoints were too bright today. He decided to wait a little bit longer. Otherwise, it would be hard to exin his shiny acupoints to his teacher.


    "By the way, cough, cough. I heard from your martial uncle that you used the Soul Expanding Art during your fight with Zheng Yunhui. What''s up with that?"


    "What? I didn''t." Su Yu shook his head, "I don''t even know that technique. And Teacher Zhao had not taught me anything like that. But when I asked for Teacher Zhao''s help with my cultural weapon previously, he did hammer my head a few times. After that, I found that my willpower has grown stronger while the percentage has dropped. Teacher, didn''t you notice that?"


    Bai Feng cursed inwardly.


    He wasn''t a god. How was he supposed to see through the kid''s sea of willpower? Sure, he could sense that Su Yu''s willpower percentage had dropped slightly. But it wasn''t a massive drop. And the previous time he saw Su Yu, the kid was injured. He had thought that the drop was due to the kid''s injuries. Thus, he hadn''t spared much thought into it.


    "So he hammered your head a few times and your willpower grew thick?"


    Bai Feng was stupefied. What magical technique was that? Was that how the Soul Expanding Art worked? Should he look for Geezer Zhao and get the geezer to hammer his head a few times as well?


    His willpower was not weak, but when he used his Dragon ying Sword, two or three attacks were enough to empty his willpower. And if he was attacking with all his strength, he could fully drain his willpower with only one move. Thus, he couldn''t help but wonder if he should get himself hammered as well.


    While hesitating, he looked at Su Yu helplessly and decided to forget about it. He said, "The Divine Character tournament is starting in a few days. Make sure to win and get the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem back. It doesn''t matter if we lose the other stuff. In fact, this Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem is also not too important. But our enemies are openly using it to humiliate us. If you can''t win it back, then we would lose a lot of face."


    Su Yu nodded solemnly.


    "I will! Don''t worry, Teacher!"


    Of course he must win. That was a heaven-grade martial technique! Furthermore, that was something left behind by an Invincible expert. Such an expert was also known as an Eternal expert. What was the meaning of eternity? Just the mere thought of it caused Su Yu''s blood to boil with excitement.


    Seeing that the kid''s fighting spirit was high, Bai Feng said nothing else.


    He was in a good mood so he smiled and said, "I''ll be too busy to teach you anything for now. Just cultivate normally. My research is going to bepleted soon. Kid, I think I have discovered the existence of racial ability character."


    Bai Feng said in excitement, "Don''t be in a rush to confirm your main Divine Character. Wait until I discover the racial ability character and figure out how to activate it. You can then use it as your main character. That character will definitely be far stronger than any of your existing characters..."


    "But Teacher, that would be a human character."


    "It''s fine." Bai Feng said, "Other human characters might be weak, but the racial ability character would definitely be strong. Naturally, you still need to wait. My research is currently stuck somewhere. I''ll probably need the help of your grandteacher toplete it. If we''re sessful, hahaha, our multiple character faction would instantly rise to prominence!"


    That was the racial ability character, after all. Ignoring every other benefit something like that could offer, just making that the trademark of their faction would be enough to attract countless new recruits into their faction.


    Of course, they still needed to see how the racial ability character actually worked before deciding what to do with it. Su Yu nodded. He was also getting excited listening to Bai Feng''s words. Racial ability character! What was the human race''s racial ability? Discovering something like this would be a very big deal.


    Bai Feng smiled and continued wolfing down his food. Su Yu couldn''t help but to admit that at the very least, Bai Feng was a dedicated researcher. Would he be as patient as Bai Feng in terms of research?


    After the meal, Bai Feng burped andughed, "I''ll be going back downstairs. Don''t forget to feed those fellows. Also, remember to let me know the next time you form a new character."


    He found that he was already immune to the surprisesing from Su Yu. Just look at how calm he was after hearing about the kid''s new character and two second tier characters. It was as though he had gotten used to all those surprises from Su Yu. In fact, he was somewhat not used to not being stunned by his own student.


    "Well, this is good. It''s better than being shocked every single time I see him."


    Bai Feng was very satisfied with his own performance. Even if he learned that the kid had reached the seventh-stage Great Strength Realm and formed another Divine Character the next time he left seclusion, he would still be able to stay calm. While praising himself inwardly, Bai Feng wasted no time and returned to hisboratory.


    Su Yu could only shake his head. His teacher had turned into a full time shut-in. Fortunately for Bai Feng, he had a reliable student as Su Yu. Otherwise, it was only a matter of time before he starved to death.


    28th of September. Su Yu finally started attending sses again.


    The existence of his concealment barriers had solved a lot of problems for him. As the monthly examination was near, the atmosphere in the ss was slowly turning nervous. For the senior ss, their monthly examinations could change every month.


    In fact, the previous monthly examination was quite easy since that was still their first month in the academy. But moving forward, the monthly examinations would no longer be as easy.


    29th of September.


    It had been a while since Su Yust met Liu Hong. Today, he saw Liu Hong again.


    The moment Liu Hong entered the ssroom, he said, "I have a few things to announce. Firstly, the Divine Character tournament will be held tomorrow. Secondly, the monthly exam will start tomorrow. Thirdly, the Top 100 Ranking will be refreshed on the 3rd of every month. After the 3rd of next month, you guys are free to challenge the ranking."


    Liu Hong''s gaze swept through people like Su Yu and Zheng Yunhui before stopping at Jia Mingzhen andpany. He smiled and said, "If you are confident, feel free to challenge the ranking.The monthly exam will be held in the afternoon. The tournament will be held in the morning. That way, you will be able to join the tournament in your best condition.


    "The senior ss of all faculties will participate in this tournament. Naturally, only the new students can join. Like I said, you can get the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem for cing first. As for the second ce, you can get a soul stabilizing pill. With this pill, you can stabilize your willpower during cultivation, increasing the endurance of your sea of willpower. For the third ce, you can get a talisman with the offensive strength of an early Infinite Strength cultivator."


    The rewards for the top three cings were quite attractive. But strictly speaking, the reward for the first ce was actually not as useful as the rewards for the second and third ces. But since it was an item left behind by an eighth-stage Mountainsea expert, everyone was still somewhat interested in it.


    A lot of the students had also learned about the story behind the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem so they all looked at Su Yu upon hearing about the reward.


    Su Yu did not hold back and directly said, "That is something left behind by my grandteacher. It was stolen when nobody noticed. Tomorrow, I must get the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem back. I am a mere untalented student, but I will do my best tomorrow. Fellow students, you are free topete against me, but I won''t be holding back."


    Everyone sank into silence.


    Su Yu had always been pretty easygoing and friendly in the ss. Thus, it was obvious he was going to get serious this time.


    Someone smiled and said, "Actually, I''m quite interested in that reward as well."


    When Su Yu looked at the speaker, his eyes turned cold.


    Jia Mingzhen said, "But forget it. I can''t be bothered topete for something like that. It''s useless. I won''t be participating in this boring tournament."


    Su Yu frowned. What was the meaning of that? Jia Mingzhen smiled and returned to his food, ignoring Su Yu. What else could that mean? He couldn''t participate!


    The tournament used a small grotto that could only withstand the Divine Characters of those in the Mental Tempering Stage. If he participated, he would probably destroy the grotto.


    That grotto was not formed of an Eternal Divine Character. It was only left behind by a peak Mountainsea. It wasn''t strong enough. He himself was a Mountainsea. The moment he sent his willpower in, the grotto might burst apart.


    Otherwise, he would be more than d to join the tournament and cause some trouble for Su Yu. He had been waiting to mess with Su Yu for a bit.


    Liu Hong nced at Jia Mingzhen. This fellow wasn''t participating? He had thought that this fellow would not miss the tournament. Interesting. Was he trying to hide his strength or was there a different reason for that?


    As for Su Yu, there was no need to further provoke that kid. The kid was probably motivated enough. A good show would unfold tomorrow. But the kid''s willpower wasn''t too strongpared to the other senior ss students. He might not be able to win.


    At that thought, Liu Hong decided to fan the mes a little. He smiled and said, "By the way, a certain researcher really likes the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem as well. That person is very regretful to hear that it is being used as a reward. I heard that the researcher is offering 300 merit points to buy it. That is a decent amount of money. Work hard, students. If you can find a good buyer, you might even be able to sell it for 500 merit points."


    The expressions of many students changed the moment they heard those words.


    500 merit points!


    Even for those from wealthy families, 500 merit points were a lot of money. That was enough for them to buy dozens of drops of Infinite Strength blood essence. And they could buy multiple myriad race Infinite Strength willpower texts with it.


    They could even hire a few Skysoars to write several willpower texts live in front of them with that much money. Apart from the really big families, the smaller rich families would probably have trouble taking out so much money at once.


    Su Yu''s expression also changed. He looked at Liu Hong and cursed inwardly.


    Undercover?


    Screw you! Even if you''re undercover, I''ll still take my revenge on you!


    500 merit points were not too important for him this time. The heaven-grade martial technique was the only thing that mattered to him.


    You''re dead. Your first student, Yang Sha, will be the next person to suffer!


    Su Yu cursed incessantly. Originally, very few people cared about the reward. Some even preferred the second and third ce rewards over the first ce reward. But with 500 merit points, they could even buy the second or third ce rewards if they wanted.
