Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 521: Genius Researcher (2)

Chapter 521: Genius Researcher (2)

Su Yu smiled and said, "Of course we will. It's fine. I still have a few weaker versions. I will forget about the versions that are too weak. Including this version, let's make it three versions.

"The first version will have 18 acupoints, capable of suppressing a third of the repelling force. The second version will have 32 acupoints. Maybe we can simplify it to only 30 acupoints. It can suppress two-thirds of the repelling force."

They all stared at him in stupefaction. Just how many versions did he produce?

Zhao Ming asked with disbelief, "Su Yu...just how did you do this?"

Su Yu did not waste his breath and activated one of his characters. Immediately after, he started radiating an aura of wisdom. His entire body was shining with the light of wisdom. With a gentle smile on his face, his radiance filled the room.

"Because...I'm a wise man. My character has provided me wisdom."

"..."

He was totally talking nonsense, but Zhao Ming blanked out for a long while before asking, "This character...is a full support character. Is this..a character capable of increasing your comprehension ability?"

"Good eyes, Teacher." Su Yu deactivated his fire character and said, "This is the power of wisdom. I am already a genius to begin with. Combined with my character, everyone's assistance, and the multiple character faction's blood essence extraction technique that allows me to deduce the cultivation methods of the myriad races through reverse deduction, I was finally able to come up with this cultivation method."

A character capable of increasing one's comprehension ability. This was an incomparably valuable character.

Xia Huyou couldn't help but say, "Before you die, you need to push this character to the Sunmoon Realm. It might turn into a super grotto that can drive all cultivators mad."

He believed Su Yu's words. Or to be precise, he believed most of Su Yu's words. A character like this was extremely rare. How had Su Yu gotten one?

"Which willpower text did you get this character from?"

"None." Su Yu explained, "Back then, I read too many cultivation manuals. When I discovered that there are a lot of similarities between these cultivation methods, a new thought came to me. At that time, this character appeared by itself. Would you believe that?"

"Yes." Xia Huyou nodded.

Zhao Ming's eyes flickered as he said, "Yes. Su Yu, you're...a freak. Such characters exist. They have appeared before. Natural characters will only form after a certain accumulation of comprehension. You're...a true freak."

Jiang Mu was also shocked. He said, "I know about these characters as well. I read about them in some travelogs before. In ancient times, there were people with naturally formed characters. I've never expected that I'll see someone like that with my own eyes one day."

What terrifying talent. What was Su Yu's cultivation level? How many things had he experienced? He had actually formed a natural character through comprehension at his current level of cultivation? These characters usually possess inconceivable abilities.

Su Yu smiled. He was not lying. This fire character was really something he had comprehended by himself. It was as though he had suddenly reached enlightenment about something and the character had taken form as a result.

A lot of people believed that Su Yu lacked a strong knowledge base. But that wasn't exactly accurate. He had read a lot of books over the years. And he also had a lot of cultivation methods, willpower texts, cultural arts, and source arts... One could say that there were definitely people who were more knowledgeable than him in Great Xia, but he was probably the person who knew about the highest variety of topics.

That golden book had given him a lot. He had witnessed the cultivation methods of the myriad races. He could even try these cultivation methods with his own body. That was an advantage unique to himself.

And the multiple character faction had always been a gathering of knowledgeable and talented individuals. His interactions with people like Bai Feng, Chen Yong, Hong Tan, and even the others like Zhao Li, had been constantly increasing his knowledge base.

The accumulation of knowledge and experience from all that had finally enabled Su Yu to derive this cultivation method with 36 acupoints. Sure, he had consulted a lot of cultivation methods for it, but being able to identify 36 suitable acupoints was proof of his ability.

Su Yu smiled, "I believe we will be fine making the first version available to the public. The second version can be marketed to the geniuses. As for the third version, only the people here can learn it. None of you will be given the right to teach it. Naturally, I am free to teach it as I see fit."

The others nodded. They were already happy enough with this.

Suddenly, Xia Huyou said with a sullen tone, "With this thing, are you reaching the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm soon?"

He felt like all the efforts he had spent to fuse his 15 acupoints had been for nothing. He would have been better off using that time to sleep and wait for this cultivation method to appear before starting his fusion.

Su Yu smiled, "It won't be so fast. From what I can see on Zhou Hao's body, the repelling force is gone, but the fusion process can't be skipped. A single fusion will take between three to five hours..."

After a short calculation, Su Yu said, "If I cultivate 6 hours per day, or 8 hours, I will be able to fuse 2 or 3 acupoints per day. Since I need 15 fusions to reach the first stage, I'll need at least 5 days."

Su Yu sighed, "Thus, I'll probably take a month or two to reach the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm. And this is in a situation where I can afford to use a lot of cultivation resources. A different person will probably take months or even half a year. And they also need to open new acupoints for this fusion method. Even someone who has opened a lot of acupoints like Zhou Hao still needs to open 10 new acupoints for it. Others might need to form 20 or 30 new acupoints. And that requires a lot of time as well..."

Su Yu calculated and said, "For a regular cultivator, they will probably take a year. In practice, this cultivation method will only save a year or two for cultivators in the Great Strength Realm. It really isn't a big deal."

"..."

Fuck you!

Was he even listening to himself?

Saving a few years of time in cultivation was nothing? Not to mention that opening more acupoints would increase one's strength. At the very least, it would allow one to fight longer. Why was this bastard neglecting that? Any genius would be willing to open 10 or 20 new acupoints to save some time.

Normally, the geniuses of the war academies will remain at the Infinite Strength Realm for two or three years. Even so, there was no guarantee that they would be able to fuse the maximum number of acupoints. But this fellow here would be able to do so in a year and reach the ninth stage. Was that nothing?

After fusing the maximum number of acupoints at the Infinite Strength Realm, things would be much easier at the Mountainsea Realm. In fact, one would also have an easier time at the Skysoar and Cloudbreach Realms. Was that nothing?

This was a life-altering cultivation method!

It would enable someone who would be stuck at the Cloudbreach Realm to enter the Mountainsea Realm. Was this bastard trying to say that Mountainseas were nothing?

Meanwhile, Su Yu ignored their gazes and started thinking. If he could fuse three acupoints per day, he would take around a month or two to reach the ninth stage. This was much shorter than his previous estimation of a year and a half.

But...that really didn't feel too special.

Also, he was aiming to open even more acupoints. And he would probably need to fuse the acupoints of multiple cultivation methods. That would take some time. Perhaps he would ultimately need to take half a year before he could start entering the Skysoar Realm.

Su Yu stopped thinking and said, "Looks like the test is a success. As for the effect of this cultivation method, we will have to wait and see. Zhou Hao will need to finish his fusion first. This is just the beginning."

Zhou Hao nodded. Inwardly, he was starting to feel excited. He could finally reach the Infinite Strength Realm! Entering the Infinite Strength Realm with the Thousand Mountain Art was much better than what he had been prepared to do before.

As for Xia Huyou, he was having a headache. These people were too troublesome.

He couldn't help but repeat himself, "Wu Lan, Senior Sister Wu Jia, remember to not tell anyone about this. This could really cause someone to die. Su Yu is too talented. If news of this spread, he might directly catch the attention of some super experts. He is doing fine now. But if this is leaked, Mountainseas, Sunmoons, or even Invincibles might start paying attention to him. And they will have a lot more confidence in the source soul acupoint he proposed."

For now, a lot of people were still skeptical. But if what Su Yu did today was exposed, they would have no choice but to believe that he might really be able to pull it off. That was certain. He was a genius.

And he was not just a cultivation genius. A cultivation genius would generally only benefit themselves. And there was no guarantee that a genius could become an Invincible. But a research genius like Su Yu could benefit the entire humanity. He might become the source of several or several dozen Invincibles.

At that time, Su Yu would find himself in a lot of trouble.

Su Yu smiled, "It is necessary to showcase your talent when required or you will really turn into an untalented individual. Imagine the multiple character faction recruiting an untalented student and Xia Huyou befriending an untalented person. That would look even more abnormal. Thus, we need to find some time to auction off the first version of the Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Technique. This will also gather some money for our research center."

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Yunhui shouted, "The Zheng Family will buy it! We are willing to pay!"

"..."

Xia Huyou glared at Zheng Yunhui.

Hu Qiusheng grinned and said, "The Hu Family is richer than the Zheng Family."

Getting the rights for this cultivation method was the same as getting the ownership of an inexhaustible mine. This was something that would benefit generations of a family.

Su Yu seemed uninterested in slowly reaping the benefits of this cultivation method over time. He needed some fast money. That was why he had decided to sell it in an auction. Otherwise, he could have taken it slow. This inferior version alone was enough for him to retire comfortably. So long as the Human Realm remained, his Su Family would eventually grow into one of the hegemons of the Human Realm relying on this one cultivation method.

Su Yu didn't even need to worry about growing strong himself anymore. Yes. With this cultivation method alone, Su Yu could retire, start a family, and enjoy a peaceful life in Great Xia.

Xia Huyou said, "Our Xia Family will naturally be the best choice to handle the dissemination of this cultivation method. Su Yu, how can these people compare against our Xia Family? I'll get my second granduncle to talk with you..."

At this point, Wu Lan finally reacted, "Your second granduncle is Marquis Xia?"

Xia Huyou was speechless. He had already said so earlier. Did she only realize this now?

"You're Prefect Xia's son?"

Wu Lan felt like her worldview had been shattered. She was in complete disbelief. As she stared at Xia Huyou, despair appeared on her face. Xia Huyou was feeling rather helpless. What was the meaning of that look on her face?

Wu Lan muttered, "You...look nothing like the prefect. Previously, my grandpa told me that the Xia Family wishes to have a marriage alliance with our family. I thought that Prefect Xia's son would resemble him..."

She was glad she had not agreed to that marriage proposal! Appearances were very important for her. And Xia Huyou's appearance...was completely not to her liking. No, it wasn't that he was ugly. But when one compared him to the domineering Prefect Xia, one couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed.

Xia Huyou was collapsing mentally.

Holy shit!

Was he really that ugly?

He personally believed that he would resemble his father a lot if he lost a tiny bit of weight.

This was the very first time someone had looked at him like this. He had the urge to beat her to death. But ultimately, he decided to let it slide. He certainly didn't want to drive the Wu Family crazy.
