Chapter 317: Teacher Is Incredible (1)

While making a pot of tea, Su Yu said, "Teacher, there is one issue. You might have neglected something."

"What is it?"

"I'm human."

"No shit."

Bai Feng rolled his eyes. Was he supposed to not know that his student was a human?

So what?

But next...Bai Feng stood up in shock. The look in his eyes changed. Finally, he was wide awake. He pointed at Su Yu blankly. His mouth was opened to speak, but no words came out.

After a while, he roared, "You're human!"

Yeah! Su Yu was a human! Did he neglect something extremely crucial? Holy shit! He had been waiting for Su Yu to reach the Skysoar Realm so that he could research Su Yu's character. Why hadn't he thought of this? Su Yu was a human!

Holy shit!

He was a human!

Su Yu didn't know what to do when he saw Bai Feng's reaction. He knew this would happen. As a student, he really didn't want to despise his own teacher. But at times, his teacher could be...somewhat...unreliable.

Was his teacher not aware that he was a human? They had been staying together for so long. Did his teacher only notice that now?

Bai Feng said, "You're a human. Therefore, would you open some acupoints when activating these racial abilities? Are you actually activating them with your acupoints?"

He frowned, "Wait, aren't you activating these abilities with your character? Are you not activating these abilities directly from the blood essence?"

Su Yu became even more speechless. True. That was the excuse he had always given his teacher.

He coughed and said, "Teacher, the character is only a medium. It will convert the power within the blood essence into a unique power and open some temporary acupoints in my body to use that ability."

Bai Feng was alarmed.

He hurriedly asked, "Is this the case for all racial abilities?"

"I think so."

"You're finished!"

Su Yu was confused.

Bai Feng said, "If news of this spread, you're dead for sure, kid! You will become the number one target of the myriad races! Since you can use their abilities, they have no secret before you! You're screwed! Not even your grandteacher can protect you from this! Kid, are you serious? I thought you're activating those abilities with your character? Why can you suddenly open their acupoints?"

"..."

Bai Feng was horrified by what he just learned.

Previously, he had thought that Su Yu could only activate those racial abilities through his Divine Character by extracting the remnant of those abilities from blood essence. That was how the blood essence produced by the research center worked.

A medium was required. The user would not actually open any acupoints to utilize those abilities. Instead, the power and the racial ability imprint within the blood essence were used to duplicate the ability.

Su Yu's activation method was completely different.

The research center's version was essentially a duplication. A single-use ability similar to talismans. As for Su Yu, he was basically producing a blueprint from the blood essence to open his own acupoints, turning the abilities into his own techniques.

Bai Feng stared at Su Yu in shock. He had thought that nothing this student could do would shock him anymore. Alas, he was proven wrong by reality.

Bai Feng swallowed as the look in his eyes changed. He asked, "Is anyone aware that you can activate the acupoints for these abilities?"

Su Yu shook his head, "I doubt so. I already have a lot of acupoints opened, so people might not be able to notice that the acupoints I used for these abilities are temporary acupoints."

"What a stupid thing to say. With the small number of acupoints you have, anyone with a good eye can see that you're opening temporary acupoints."

Su Yu scratched his head and said, "I think...it won't be easy. Teacher, I have opened 153 acupoints. I doubt they will be able to notice a few additional or missing acupoints among all those acupoints..."

Bai Feng blinked. What?

Wasn't this kid only a Great Strength cultivator?

What 153 acupoints?

Su Yu said, "Therefore, even if I open those temporary acupoints right in front of them, they would probably not notice anything unless they perform a deep scan on me."

"Wait a minute." Bai Feng interrupted Su Yu, "What do you mean by 153 acupoints? Explain yourself."

Su Yu was starting to get nervous, but he put on a calm expression and said, "Aren't you aware, Teacher? I remember telling you before. When you asked me about my progress, I told you I made great progress."

"Did that happen?"

Bai Feng dug through his memories.

Had he really asked the kid that question?

"So you're saying that..." He looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded, "I have 153 acupoints. I have reached the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm. I have opened additional acupoints to cultivate some martial techniques."

"153 acupoints..." Bai Feng muttered to himself. He looked at Su Yu and didn't even bother trying to hide his shock. He asked, "What day is it today? No, what month is it?"

"Year 350 of Anping Calendar, the night of the 3rd of October."

"You have been in the academy for two months?"

"Yeah."

Bai Feng nodded. Calm returned to his face. He was no longer as surprised. Two months. No, it had been more than two months. It had been 63 days. The kid had opened 153 acupoints. Excluding what the kid had opened prior to this, he had opened 140 acupoints since entering the academy.

"So you couldn't even open more than three per day?" Bai Feng inhaled deeply and smiled, "That's acceptable, I guess. So you still couldn't open more than three per day."

Su Yu was getting more and more nervous. Has his teacher gone mad? What did he mean by that? Wasn't that...normal?

Bai Feng scratched his head. He looked completely indifferent, as though he had gained full immunity toward anything Su Yu could throw his way. He waved his hand and said, "Forget about that. It's only some acupoints. Return to the topic of the racial ability. Did any outsider notice you opening temporary acupoints?"

"I doubt so. Teacher, isn't that how the research center's blood essence work as well?"

"No." Bai Feng took out a bottle and tossed it to Su Yu. He said, "This is a drop of fire hog blood essence with their racial ability, Tackle. Give it a try."

Su Yu did not hesitate and swallowed the blood essence.

Next, he roared painfully. A powerful force was erupting within his body. He started growing in size, tearing through his clothes. A stream of knowledge suddenly entered his brain, causing him to ram forward instinctively.

Boom!

Bai Feng casually slapped Su Yu away before smiling, "How does it feel?"

Su Yu was stuck on the wall. He waited until the blood essence's power was exhausted before answering in exhaustion, "So this is how it works? The blood essence supplies the power while my brain is given a vague impression of what to do. Following the implanted memory, I unleashed the ability."

"Exactly."

Su Yu smiled bitterly. So the research center's version was completely different. He had always thought that the research center's blood essence ability worked the same as his, as in they would open temporary acupoints. But he was wrong.

No wonder. He had been curious why Bai Feng didn't know more myriad race abilities. So that was the reason.

Bai Feng looked at his student helplessly and said, "So do you now understand the implications of how you use your blood essence abilities? Kid, you should just stop using blood essence. I don't want to die. If the myriad races found out about this, I reckon there will even be Eternals coming after you."

What a big mess. This kid was actually able to perfectly imitate their racial abilities. Who would they kill if not him? He still remembered that when Su Yu first used a blood essence ability in front of him, things were different.

He asked, "I remember that you didn't open temporary acupoints when you demonstrated the iron-winged bird's racial ability to me previously."

Su Yu shook his head, "I did. I opened some arm acupoints. But all your focus was on my character so you didn't notice."

Bai Feng thought about it. That...seemed to be the case. He had been too shocked to notice anything at the time. He had never imagined that the way Su Yu activated blood essence abilities were completely different from the research center's method. He had been busy thinking of waiting for Su Yu to reach the Skysoar Realm before researching him.

Bai Feng said, "You're right. I was too busy thinking about how I should dissect you when you reach the Skysoar Realm..."

"Cough, cough!" Su Yu coughed.

That was too excessive! Also, should his teacher even be telling him that?

Bai Feng couldn't even be bothered to entertain Su Yu's response. He was too troubled by what he had just learned. He needed to solve the problem created by the soul devouring bug ability.

Su Yu had already reached the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm. The kid had also opened a large number of additional acupoints. The kid's racial ability activation was completely different from what he had expected it to be.

If this was leaked, they would probably spend the rest of their lives being hunted by the Eternals of the myriad races. What else?

Bai Feng rubbed his head. Due to his lack of sleep, he wasn't able to think very well. He asked, "Anything else? Tell me everything at once. I can handle this."

Su Yu glanced at his teacher cautiously and tested the waters, "I defeated Yang Sha."

"Who?"

"Liu Hong's first student."

"Oh."

Bai Feng was completely indifferent.

"I defeated Liu He as well. Liu Hong's little brother."

"Oh. Wait a minute. Did you enter the top 100?"

Bai Feng realized what Su Yu was trying to say. The look in his eyes turned odd. The kid had entered the Top 100 Ranking. But...yeah. That was normal. The kid was already a ninth-stage Great Strength cultivator. At that thought, he calmed down again.

"Anything else?"

"Yeah. And then...while I was at it, I fought Huang Qifeng, the one who had seriously injured Senior Sister. I beat him to the verge of death."

"Oh. So be it. As long as you follow the rules, everything is fine."

"And then...I think his teacher, Elder Zheng, tried to attack me. Principal Wan caught and crushed him before exiling him to the Allheaven Battlefield. His exile will only end after killing a Mountainsea enemy."

Bai Feng felt like his brain was going to burst apart.

He could no longer stay calm. He grimaced painfully before saying, "Well done. Very good. I think I need to go look for your grandteacher at the Allheaven Battlefield. Otherwise, you're screwed. I'm probably screwed as well."

This was more trouble than he could handle.

He looked at Su Yu and asked with a mournful tone, "Am I the last to know about this? I sensed some powerful aura eruptions earlier. Was that when it happened?"

"I think so."

"So the entire academy might already be aware of this before me."

"I...think so."

"I think...you can graduate from my teachings already." Bai Feng was being driven mad, "Kid! Your teacher is only a Skysoar! Are you trying to kill me?"

Su Yu dryly said, "Teacher, that’s not all."

"You..."

Bai Feng crumpled down on the couch and weakly said, "Continue, then."

"Earlier, Principal Wan visited and pulled my willpower out of the research center to his place. He told me to visit him when I have some time."

"Fuck!" Bai Feng suddenly cursed, "This is a private research center. Does he not know the rules? He crossed a line! I can file a complaint with the Talent Fostering Bureau!"

Technically, all educational institutions were under the Talent Fostering Bureau’s jurisdiction.
