Chapter 358: Bai Feng Ran Away (1)


    Liu Wenyan had arrived at Great Xia City. Su Yu did not know the exact details of what had happened, but he knew that Liu Wenyan and the old principal had left together the day before.


    Books depository.


    Su Yu had decided to talk to his martial uncle about this. No matter what, his martial uncle was still a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. As for his teacher...well, his teacher should stick to research. After all, his teacher was really kind of weak.


    Tenth floor.


    Wu Jia was away attending a ss. When Chen Yong heard about Liu Wenyan''s possible arrival, he looked calm.


    When he saw Su Yu''s worried expression, he said, "It''s fine. Martial Uncle won''t be alone after returning. I am aware of the departure of Elder Sun and the others. But their group has just returned without any gains"


    "Martial Uncle, you know about this?"


    Su Yu was surprised. He had thought that Chen Yong was still in the dark.


    Chen Yong said, "No. Martial Uncle told me nothing. But this is an incident that had caused multiple academy elders to leave before returning with injuries. It is very likely that Martial Uncle has returned."


    He smiled, "Don''t worry. There are still a few elders in the academy that are supportive toward Martial Uncle. They are his good friends. Elder Wu from the Pillmaking Faculty, Elder He from the Beast Taming Faculty, Elder Fan from the Talisman Faculty, and Faculty Head Su who seldom shows himself. All these people were Martial Uncle''s good friends back in the days."


    Su Yu was quite surprised. Teacher Liu had so many Mountainsea friends? He was slightly relieved to hear that. In that case, things should be fine? After all, Teacher Liu had so many good friends who were experts.


    "Martial Uncle, I thought Teacher Liu isn''t returning? Why is he suddenly returning?"


    Chen Yong exhaled, "Someone forced him to return."


    "Zhou Mingren?"


    "Not necessarily." Chen Yong sighed, "There is really no need for you to view Zhou Mingren with too much hostility. He isn''t exactly a generous person, but he is easily content. In truth, he is already happy with the status of the single character faction today. He is also content with his status as the vice principal. But he couldn''t resist the people pushing for action behind him, such as Zheng Yuming, Xia Yuwen, and some people from Great Zhou."


    Chen Yong thought for a bit and continued, "Perhaps someone promised him something, such as an advancement opportunity. In the beginning, Zhou Mingren had not intended topletely erase us."


    Su Yu nodded and did not ask anything. All that was too far away from him.


    Since Liu Wenyan had help, he was feeling much more rxed. He said, "Martial Uncle, there is nothing I can do about that. I should just focus on my cultivation."


    "Exactly. Your sole mission is to cultivate. Ignore everything else. If something is really going to happen, as a Mental Tempering Stage student, there is nothing you can change."


    "I understand." Su Yu nodded and curiously said, "Martial Uncle, can I ask you a question? What is it that youck for your advancement into the Mountainsea Realm?"


    "Mountainsea..." Chen Yong smiled, "The Mountainsea Realm isn''t hard to reach. Fourth-tier Divine Character, fourth-tier willpower, and the fusion of apertures like the fusion of acupoints in the Infinite Strength Realm. When all three are achieved, you can enter the Mountainsea Realm. Thus, it isn''t actually hard to fulfill the requirements to be a Mountainsea."


    It wasn''t hard? Su Yu had a look of astonishment. His Martial Uncle sounded so rxed, but what would those stuck below the Mountainsea Realm think? Also, his martial uncle wasn''t even a Mountainsea!


    Chen Yong smiled, "Don''t you understand? It''s the same as the Infinite Strength Realm. Some people will only advance with a fusion of 12 acupoints. Some are happy with fusing only 2 acupoints. That''s the case for Mountainsea Realm''s aperture fusion. Thus, every Mountainsea cultivator will be different from each other depending on their fused apertures."


    Su Yu nodded and looked at Chen Yong. The Myriad Text Sutra would allow one to open a total of 72 apertures. In that case, the limit for this cultivation method was a fusion of 8 apertures. Those hitting this limit would be a top-tier Mountainsea among all cultivators of this cultivation method.


    Was his martial uncle aiming to fuse eight acupoints? Was that why he had remained below the Mountainsea Realm?


    "Martial Uncle, that is the case for cultural researchers. How about warriors?"


    "Warriors?" Chen Yong smiled, "Things are much simpler for them. At the Skysoar Realm, they will temper their bones, change their blood, and cleanse their marrow.


    "At the Cloudbreach Realm, they will transform their source qi. They will undergo one transformation per stage. At the ninth transformation, their source qi will turn into heavenly source qi."


    "At the Mountainsea Realm, they will continue fusing acupoints. At the Infinite Strength Realm, they will fuse their acupoints until they have nine acupoints left. At the Mountainsea Realm, they will fuse their remaining acupoints into a single acupoint. That is the realm where you can truly reach a level of utilizing one acupoint as a hundred acupoints.


    "As for the Sunmoon and Eternal Realms, that''s not something for me to know."


    Su Yu nodded. He had learned something new again. All those realms were still very far away for him. He only needed to know a little bit about them. There was no need to know too much.


    After the conversation, Su Yu decided to not worry that much since his martial uncle appeared unworried.


    ...


    Outside the books depository.


    After a slight hesitation, Su Yu called a number again. Had Teacher Liu arrived at the capital? Perhaps...Teacher Bai Feng could really solve Teacher Liu''s issue with his Divine Character blocking his cultivation.


    If the pressure of the fifth principal''s Divine Character could be relieved, wouldn''t Teacher Liu be much stronger? This time, he was not being told that there was no signal on the other end.


    After a while, the call connected. Liu Wenyan''s cheerful voice rang out, "Su Yu, you''re looking for me?"


    "Teacher..." Su Yu thought about it and said, "Teacher Bai Feng told me to invite you back for a visit to the Wentan Research Center. We have recently derived a powerful cultivation method called the Soul Devouring Art. It can allow one to alter one''s source qi. But Teacher Bai said that he has yet to perfect the cultivation method and he hopes that you can provide him some guidance."


    "Soul Devouring Art?" Liu Wenyan eximed at astonishment. When he looked at Wu Yuehua, she nodded and transmitted her voice, "It is the source art of the soul devouring bugs, capable of altering the source qi of the cultivator."


    Liu Wenyan nodded. He asked in astonishment, "You guys actually managed to derive the cultivation method of some bugs?"


    He was really quite surprised. The cultivation methods of bug races were extremely hard to derive for the human race. That was because the bodies of bugs were too different from humans.


    "Teacher, Teacher Bai is very good at researching. But he has been stumped by a few issues. Therefore, he wishes to ask for your guidance..."


    "Me?" Liu Wenyanughed, "What guidance can I provide? Bai Feng...looks like I have underestimated him. But I don''t have the time to visit you for now."


    He couldn''t go. It was fine staying in the sub-city. But if he wanted to enter the Wentan Research Center, a lot more people would try to stop him. After all, there was Wan Tiansheng, who was a stickler for rules, in the academy. Thus, Liu Wenyan could simply hide in the Wentan Research Center to enjoy the protection of Wan Tiansheng. Wan Tiansheng would not allow fights to break out in the academy.


    "Teacher, if you can''t visit, should I have Teacher Bai visit you at Nanyuan?" Su Yu said, "Teacher Bai is in quite a rush. It''s my fault. Not long ago, I promised to auction that cultivation manual out. Only after that did I find out that the cultivation manual is not perfected yet. Because of that, Teacher Bai is in a rush..."


    "Kid..."


    Liu Wenyan was somewhat speechless. This kid dared to offer the cultivation manual for auction before it was even ready?


    Also, Bai Feng seemed to be treating this kid quite well. He had even allowed Su Yu to get involved in such a project. And auctioning the cultivation manual was probably the kid''s decision. Even with that, the kid had not been punished by Bai Feng?


    After thinking about it, Liu Wenyan said, "I''ll give you a reply when I have some time. I''m really quite busy right now."


    "Alright, Teacher. I''ll contact you again next time."


    "..."


    After ending the call, Liu Wenyan asked, "Yuehua, you know Su Yu right? Is Bai Feng attaching a lot of importance to this kid?"


    "Su Yu?"


    The middle-aged guy called He Ji smiled and said, "Big Brother Liu, I know Su Yu. Very few people in the academy don''t know him. So he''s Big Brother Liu''s student? No wonder. I knew Bai Feng is incapable of producing a student this excellent."


    Liu Wenyanughed. In truth, he hadn''t taught Su Yu that much either. He had only taught the kid some basic knowledge. Why was this guy saying that Bai Feng wouldn''t be able to produce a student like that?


    "Su Yu...is quite popr?" Liu Wenyan got curious, "Has he entered the top 100?"


    "More than that." He Jiughed heartily, "That kid is impressive. Not only has he entered the top 100, he has even embarrassed Zhou Mingren and his cronies and tossed a pile of shit their way. Zhou Mingren wasn''t around when you arrived, right? He was probably busy dealing with the shit Su Yu had thrown his way."


    After hearing about Su Yu''s feats in the academy, Liu Wenyan asked in astonishment, "Has he actually changed this much?"


    Was that still the same Su Yu he remembered? The kid had only been in the academy for a short time. Why had he changed that much? He had even reached the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm! He had defeated a student ranked 38th and gave Zhou Mingren all sorts of troubles. That was really quite surprising.


    Liu Wenyan hadplicated emotions. Previously, Su Yu had said that he was doing decently in the academy. But he seemed to be doing even better than that. Liu Wenyan did not ask more. He had no way of entering the academy.


    There was also no need for Su Yu and Bai Feng to get involved in this matter. Those two were too weak. Even an eighth-stage Skysoar like Bai Feng was not strong enough.
