Chapter 510: Money Is So Easy To Earn (1)

Killing two Skysoars in succession.

First, he launched a sneak attack against the fifth-stage boy. Then, he killed the young man with a frontal attack. Thus, he had killed a third-stage Skysoar without relying on any trickery.

This was the difference between the Skysoars inside and outside the academy. If it was a Skysoar from the academy, even if it was a first-stage Skysoar, Su Yu might not be able to kill them. But the Skysoars outside the academy could actually be killed so easily.

The gap between people at the same cultivation level could still be very big. The academies were where the elites converged. The only place similar to the academies was the military, a place similarly filled with experts.

...

Up in the sky.

The Mountainsea was shocked.

What did he just see?

Character tecnique?

Was he hallucinating?

Just what happened?

Had Su Yu completed his character technique?

The Mountainsea sank into thought. Something was off about this. Su Yu's speed wasn't too surprising, but there were too few characters in the character technique. The character technique was too weak with too few characters in it.

Sure, it wasn't exactly weak considering Su Yu's cultivation level, but with so many second-tier characters, it was clear that he had not formed too many characters. Just like that, the character technique had been completed?

"Impossible. It is impossible that Su Yu has a character technique with only a few characters...Just what is it? What changed with the multiple character technique?"

The Mountainsea's expression changed repeatedly. For him, the character technique was much more shocking than Su Yu's feat of killing Skysoars. And he couldn't help but recall what happened with Bai Feng's multiple Dragon Slaying Swords.

Eventually, the middle-aged man guessed something.

No way...right?

If that was really the case...massive changes would occur in the world of cultural researchers.

The multiple character faction suddenly seemed a lot more mysterious than before.

He hurriedly informed Administrator Hu about his guess. Administrator Hu remained silent for a long while. Clearly, he was deep in thought. None of them was shocked that Su Yu had killed Skysoars. They were more shocked about the character technique.

...

Down below.

Su Yu looked around before saying, "I would like to thank the senior protecting me in the dark. But I also hope that you won't leak any of this."

Someone who would protect him at this time would either be from the Xia Family or from Wan Tiansheng's side.

He wasn't too worrried about exposing some of his secrets to these two parties. Perhaps he could even gain more benefits from them. The Mountainsea's heart thumped. Was the kid talking to him? No, right? This was impossible. How could the kid possibly discover him?

He was a Mountainsea. He was the sole Mountainsea in the area. So was the kid really talking to him? Or was the kid trying his luck and talking to empty air out of suspicion?

Su Yu continued speaking, "Senior, I might need to take another trip after a while. At that time, there might be Mountainseas acting against me. If you're worried, Senior, you can try to ask your superior if they want someone else to take over the job instead."

"..."

The Mountainsea grimaced. The kid was not talking to him, right?

Right?

Definitely!

He refused to admit that the kid had discovered him. That would be too embarassing.

He decided to maintain his silence.

Inwardly, he grumbled endlessly. What was the meaning of this? The kid was going to take another trip in the future, but before the trip itself, the kid was already aware that someone would try killing him?

There would be Mountainseas?

Was this kid a prophet?

Was this a joke?

...

Su Yu did not say anything else.

He already did his part by giving that reminder.

How had he discovered this hidden expert? Well, how could he not? The Perception Jade had changed colors so many times. He would be stupid if he didn't know that there was a hidden expert around him.

In fact, he had already noticed that there was a hidden expert while he was in the main city. But at the time, he was still unsure if this expert was there to protect him.

But now, he was certain.

This hidden expert was brave enough to fly in the main city and had not attacked him or left during the battle. It would be odd if this person was here for any other reason than to protect him.

If this was an enemy, they would have attacked long ago.

Su Yu couldn't help but admit that this Perception Jade given to him by Zhao Li was truly useful. With this Perception Jade, Su Yu felt like his eyes had been opened wide, allowing him to see a lot of things he couldn't see before.

He was sure that if a grade was assigned to this Perception Jade, then it might be an earth-grade treasure. It was probably not something Zhao Li had forged. Instead, it had been forged by someone stronger and given to Zhao Li, who had ultimately given it to Su Yu.

Su Yu tossed the matter out of his mind. He was certain that the next time he left the academy, he would encounter a Mountainsea enemy. And he had done his part by giving his hidden protector a warning in advance.

It was now up to the hidden protector to decide if they were good enough to handle such enemies.

Meanwhile, the other three Skysoars had all been captured.

The shadow was wrapped completely around Zhang Wu's body. At the moment, Zhang Wu's eyes were filled with terror. Finally, he screeched in fear, "I surrender! I admit that I acted out of greed! I wanted to rob you! Su Yu, I surrender. You can hand me to either the Martial Dragon Guards or the Great Xia Army. I won't object."

Su Yu did not say anything.

He took out his voice transmission talisman and sent a message.

A short while later, two figures flew over.

To be precise, it was an old man flying over with Zhang Hao in hand.

After taking a look at the scene on the ground, he sighed.

But abruptly, he raised his head to look above him. High in the sky, the middle-aged Mountainsea cursed before vanishing.

...

The old man with Zhang Hao exhaled in relief before transmitting his voice to an unknown person. Before long, he looked at Su Yu and the two dead Skysoars on the ground. His expression changed slightly.

He wasted no time and said, "I am Zhang Zhonghe. Thank you for the notification, young friend."

Looking at the three captured individuals, he said, "Please hand the three of them to me. All the spoils of war are yours. You can also get 100 merit points for each low-stage Skysoar enemy killed and 300 merit points for each high-stage Skysoar enemy killed. And everything we get after raiding this Zhang Family will be yours as well. Additionally, to thank you for your contribution and show our appreciation for your talent, I will personally give you a gift of 5,000 merit points."

Su Yu looked at the old man and smiled, "Grandpa Zhang is too courteous."

Zhang Wu shouted with desperation, "Big Brother Zhonghe, I got greedy and set my eyes on Su Yu! I admit my mistakes! I am willing to accept punishment. Big Brother Zhonghe, please spare my life on account of our relationship."

Zhang Wu was terrified.

He was no fool.

The moment Zhang Zhonghe arrived, he realized that he might really die.

Su Yu had actually contacted Zhang Zhonghe.

In order to clear himself of all responsibilities, Zhang Zhonghe would not spare Zhang Wu.

In Zhang Zhonghe's hands, Zhang Wu would not survive.

Su Yu was aware of that as well. Thus, he accepted the 5,000 merit points offered by Zhang Zhonghe. This was a trade. Zhang Zhonghe would get these people while he would get the rewards. In any case, he was uninterested in being the one to decide the fate of these people.

After handing these people to Zhang Zhonghe, whatever happened to them would have nothing to do with Su Yu anymore.

Zhang Zhonghe could silence them. He could dig out more evidence about the cult so that he could make up for his mistake of trusting these people in the past. In any case, it would not be Su Yu's business anymore.

Su Yu was happy with his gains. Not only had he been rewarded monetarily, he also managed to get the Zhang Family to owe him a favor.

This was a family with a ninth-stage Cloudbreach, so a favor from such a family was quite worthwhile to have.

Zhang Zhonghe was relieved to see Su Yu's reaction. He gave Su Yu a deep look before sealing the three Skysoars with his character, not giving Zhang Wu a chance to say anything else.

He would not care about the excuses of these people.

As far as he was concerned, these people were from the Myriad Race Cult.

It didn't matter if he was sure about that or not. That was the only truth he could accept.

Regardless of whether these people were killed or interrogated, he would need to take the lead to keep the initiative in his hands. Great Xia was a peaceful place, but competition existed everywhere. If someone else got their hands on these people, they might be used a weapon against him. That would bring him a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, the person in the sky could be considered someone from his faction...

He looked at Su Yu again with an odd expression.

That person was actually protecting Su Yu in secret.

Was he acting on Administrator Hu's order? Or was this the Xia Family's order?

Regardless of whose intention this was, the value of Su Yu had increased greatly in his eyes.

And from this interaction, he also became certain that Su Yu was a very smart individual.

The moment he appeared, Su Yu had agreed to let him handle these people without asking anything. That was a wise action.

Even the fact that he had given Su Yu 5,000 merit points and ended up owing Su Yu a favor for this couldn't discount the fact that Su Yu had made a very smart choice here.

Looking at the two corpses, Zhang Zhonghe was even more shocked.

Killing Skysoars.

A Mental Tempering Stage student killing Skysoars.

This was already a feat comparable to what Liu Wenyan had done back in the day.

The newest successor of the multiple character faction was too strong. And this new successor had been maintaining a very low profile in comparison to Liu Wenyan in the past. At this age, this showed just how dependable this youngster was.

Then again, Liu Wenyan's arrogance was a product of his environment.

At the time, the entire multiple character faction was viewing him as the next leader of the faction.

As for Su Yu, he had been born in the wrong era. If he had been born during the golden age of the multiple character faction, numerous Skysoar and Cloudbreach cultivators would be at his beck and call based on the talent he had shown. He would receive full support from those people to be the next leader of the faction.

It had taken only a short instant for all those thoughts to cross Zhang Zhonghe's mind.

He smiled and said, "If you need anything in the future, feel free to get Zhang Hao to contact me. If I can help, I will be willing to help."

Zhang Hao's expression changed upon hearing that.

Those words made this matter look truly serious.

It was clear to him that the favor they owed Su Yu was definitely not small.

Su Yu smiled, "Grandpa Zhang is too courteous. Brother Zhang is a brother of mine. This is just a small help."

Zhang Zhonghe smiled and nodded before grabbing the three sealed individuals and the two corpses. He said, "They must have disturbed your peace today. Hao, stay and accompany this young friend. I'll deal with these people..."

"I'll send some people to surround Zhang Wu's estate and raid their assets. Young Friend Su will receive what we get from the raid."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Zhang. Brother Zhang's company is enough for me."

Su Yu had a gentle smile on his face.

In the past, Zhang Zhonghe was very satisfied with his talented grandson. He believed that his grandson was as good as the likes of Zhao Shiji who were the juniors of much larger families.

But after looking at Su Yu...it wasn't that his grandson was garbage in comparison, but his feelings still became complicated after witnessing Su Yu's talent and potential.

He said nothing and left with his prisoners.

As for the water elemental and the shadow, they had returned to Su Yu's side.

The moment Zhang Zhonghe left, Zhang Hao looked at Su Yu and sighed, "The gap between us is growing wider and wider."

This was too shocking.

A Mental Tempering Stage student killing Skysoars.

Two Skysoars had been killed in a single battle. And neither of the two Skysoars were fresh Skysoars. One was at the third stage while the other was at the fifth stage.

Zhang Hao had complicated feelings.

He could clearly see the gap between him and Su Yu.

With a smile, Su Yu said, "I just got lucky. You would have been able to do this with enough luck as well. Brother Zhang, we're on the same side anyway, right?"

"Yeah."

Zhang Hao smiled and nodded.

He was absolutely not weak.

He had opened six apertures and was at the peak of the Mental Tempering Stage. In terms of physical cultivation, he was a ninth-stage Great Strength cultivator. He had merely been too busy to challenge the ranking. Otherwise, he could probably enter the top 30 if he wanted.

As a new student, this was an astonishing level of strength.

His growth was thanks to the Willpower Grotto and the apertures he had opened.

"If news of this spread, it will..."

"I can only hope that Grandpa Zhang can help me keep it secret for now."

Su Yu smiled ,"Can you inform Grandpa Zhang for me? Something like fame is not important to me. It will only cause my enemies to take me even more seriously."

"I understand."

The tallest tree in the forest would always be the first to fall.

And at the moment, Su Yu was definitely the tallest tree among his peers.

He had fought and defeated Skysoars.

This was something that could shake the entirety of Great Xia.

This was unlike Di Feng, who was suspected to have killed a Skysoar with the assistance of some other experts or many other top 100 students.

There was no comparing what Di Feng had done with what Su Yu had just done.

Sure, Su Yu was also supported by experts, but he had relied purely on himself to kill two Skysoars.

While walking, Su Yu said, "Looks like my luck is decent today. I have earned some profit today."

This was profitable!

Three late-stage Skysoars would earn him 900 merit points.

One middle-stage and one early-stage Skysoars would earn him 300 merit points.

He would earn 1,200 merit points in total.

And these points would even be added to his total earned merit.

He would also receive the proceeds from the raid of the Zhang Family's estate. That was an estate housing multiple Skysoars. Even if Su Yu would only be given a portion of what they get, he could probably get about 1,000 or 2,000 merit points, right?

And there was also the 5,000 merit points promised by Zhang Zhonghe...
