Chapter 604: Su Yu Enters The Capital (3)

Chapter 604: Su Yu Enters The Capital (3)

Su Yu laughed in amusement. He was a giant. He was a butcher. Sure. The people of Great Ming sure had a lot of free time on their hands. This storyteller was clearly making up his story, but he was still able to attract such a large audience.

His recordings had probably been spread all over the Human Realm by now. These people had probably seen those recordings as well. Even so, they were still willing to sit here and listen to this clearly fake story.

The storyteller ignored Su Yu and continued, "This is the end of Su Yu's story. We will continue the story after he reaches the capital. Let us move on to a different story. There is a youth named Bai Junsheng. He is known as one of the Eight Eminents of the capital. Two days ago, he entered the Skysoar Realm and instantly reached the third stage.

"Yesterday, he claimed that he will overtake his elder cousin, Bai Feng, soon. When he heard that Su Yu was Bai Feng's student, he started running around claiming that he was Su Yu's uncle. He took this chance to beat his rival, Zhu Hongliang, up. Zhu Hongliang, also one of the Eight Eminents, wanted to strike back. But at that moment, Bai Junsheng loudly yelled that his nephew was Su Yu and hitting him was the same as suicide. Hearing that, Zhu Hongliang fled in panic..."

Su Yu was speechless. Was this real? Bai Junsheng? Someone from the Bai Family? Zhu Hongliang...was that someone from the Zhu Family? And the so-called Eight Eminents of the capital...were they really so bored? How did he become that person's nephew?

One of the customers laughed and said, "What is Zhu Hongliang afraid of? Just beat him up. He has a Mountainsea beast, right? Just order that beast to beat Bai Junsheng up."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing that, more people roared with laughter.

"You must be kidding. That Mountainsea beast spends all his time eating. He refuses to do anything else. Are you expecting that beast to beat someone up? I'm afraid the beast will be the one suffering a beating!"

Once again, Su Yu was left speechless. What manner of a Mountainsea beast was that? Was it so difficult to beat up a Skysoar?

Also, that Zhu Hongliang wasn't even Bai Junsheng's match. It was clear he wouldn't be too strong either. In that case, did he tame that Mountainsea beast himself, or was that beast given to him by his family? At this moment, he heard something interesting.

With a smile, the storyteller said, "Speaking of that Mountainsea beast, he is not too good at beating someone up. But he is very good at defense. He eats a lot so he has a very thick skin. I once saw this beast myself. At the time, a Sunmoon expert struck the beast with a sword. The beast merely let out a single cry in annoyance before returning to his sleep. He was completely unharmed!

"That was why this beast was classified as a Mountainsea beast. If this beast is capable of attacking as well, he would probably be classified as a Sunmoon beast instead of a Mountainsea beast."

"..."

Su Yu grew curious. Were they talking about an iron devourer? Impeccable defense and almost nonexistent offensive strength. He once tried buying some of this race's blood essence from Xia Huyou, but Xia Huyou was unable to find any since this race was too rare.

Why was Su Yu looking for the blood essence of this race? For his physical advancement into the Skysoar Realm, he needed to reforge his body yet again. And the iron devourer race was known for their powerful physical bodies.

Thus, Su Yu suspected that their powerful defense was due to some unique cultivation method. One ought to know that body cultivation methods were very rare.

"Is he a Mountainsea?"

If that was a Mountainsea beast, the blood essence would be too strong for him. If that was a Cloudbreach beast instead, he could actually consider consuming the blood essence of this beast.

After spending some time listening to the storyteller, Su Yu finally finished his meal. He stood up and left with the suanni. Outside the restaurant, he hopped onto the suanni's back and rode off.

At this moment, sounds of exhalations rang out repeatedly from the second floor of the restaurant. One of the customers complained, "Old Man, are you dumb? How dare you talk back to him? That's Su Yu, right? Heavens. I nearly piss myself in fear. I can feel his killing intent from a mile away. Good thing he didn't flip out on you. If he decided to start a massacre here, wouldn't all of us suffer?"

"..."

The storyteller gloomily said, "I knew it was him. That was why I changed the story immediately. I even took the chance to fawn on him by talking about his incredible feat of killing Zhou Pingsheng. All of you should thank me. I'm the only reason all of you survived the encounter with that psychopath."

The storyteller wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "I even intentionally mentioned how Bai Junsheng claimed that he was Su Yu's uncle. Just look at the intense killing intent around Su Yu. That Bai Junsheng is screwed. Maybe we should send him a message and tell him to flee. That bastard might bully my granddaughter a lot, but it still isn't proper for us to just let Su Yu kill him..."

"Old man, you sure are vicious."

"I'm merely killing with a borrowed knife. Then again, Su Yu might not even dare to kill since he's new here. No matter what, that's his teacher's cousin. Sigh, with the addition of a psychopath, things are going to change in Tiandu."

"It's not that serious. He's only at the Mental Tempering Stage."

"What nonsense is that? Have you ever seen a Mental Tempering Stage cultivator capable of killing Cloudbreaches before?"

"..."

True. How was that a Mental Tempering Stage student? The capital was going to be in chaos.

A different customer laughed and said, "Why do we even care? That has nothing to do with us. Then again, that Su Yu doesn't look as fierce as I thought. In fact, he looks quite good..."

"You're too shallow. How can you judge someone from their appearance? But he really does look quite good. My daughter is in the capital as well. What if I manage to make him my son-in-law? Tsk tsk. Just imagine having him guard my door. Nobody can dream of intruding into my home anymore."

"..."

These people were fortunate that Su Yu had long departed. Otherwise, he would probably beat them up after hearing these words.

The people of Great Ming were truly...unique.

***

After a few hours of rapid travel, a massive city finally appeared in front of Su Yu.

The city walls were tall and majestic. Unlike Tiandu, Great Xia City did not have proper city walls. Instead, there were only several checkpoints around the capital. Meanwhile, Tiandu was surrounded by city walls that were dozens of meters in height.

From far away, Su Yu saw an astonishing scene. An incomparably large beast was rushing straight toward the city gate. Su Yu was alarmed. Was this a beast attack? He did not see any humans around that beast.

Was this a wild beast? But right at that moment, the massive beast stopped. Then, its belly opened, allowing about a dozen individuals to walk out. One of them turned around to look at Su Yu. At the moment, Su Yu was mounted on the suanni. But before this gigantic beast, the suanni seemed tiny.

That person shook his head with sympathy, thinking that this visitor sure was poor. Then, that man waved his hand. At that, the giant beast started shrinking before turning into a metallic cube. The man picked up the cube and put it away.

"Big Brother Wang, we're entering the city."

That man casually greeted the city guards before entering the city with the group of youngsters. While they were departing, one of them said, "Did you see that? That guy must be a tourist. He was so scared after seeing our rapid transit beast that he almost fled. How silly."

"Yeah. That must be a tourist. Look at how silly he is. And look at that tiny beast he's using as a mount. He must be too poor to afford a rapid transit beast so he was forced to catch a random beast from the wilderness to serve as his mount."

"Poor guy."

"Yeah. He looks quite young. Poor kid."

"..."

Fuck!

Su Yu was completely dumbstruck. Were they...pitying him?

Holy shit!

Poor? Him?

Pitiful?

His mount was a poor man's mount?

That was a suanni, a top 100 race, and a ninth-stage Skysoar!

Meanwhile, that was a group of Mental Tempering Stage, Great Strength, and Source Opening cultivators. A group like that was pitying him?

Holy shit!

More importantly, that gigantic beast was actually a puppet? Holy shit! He had thought that it was an actual beast! It looked so real!

When Su Yu's gaze landed on the dusty suanni, he sighed. He couldn't help but agree with them. This suanni was so small and dirty. He truly looked pitiful. How could he compare with that gigantic beast puppet?

Meanwhile, the suanni was feeling incomparably gloomy. Was he so bad?

Him? A random beast caught from the wilderness?

He could swallow all those kids with a single bite!

He was a ninth-stage Skysoar! He was a genius who had once entered the Luminous Domain Mansion! He was a genius who had even killed a genius student of an Invincible. And yet he was being looked down on by those kids?

Were the people of Great Ming blind?

Su Yu smiled and stopped thinking about all that. He continued heading toward the city gate while riding on the suanni. Interesting. Great Ming was truly interesting. The saying was right. Seeing once was better than hearing about it a hundred times.

That rapid transit beast looked quite useful. Su Yu even thought that he should get one for himself as well. Ahead of him, the words Tiandu City could be seen hanging atop the city gate. The guards weren't weak, but they also seemed less murderous.

Su Yu had just reached the gate when the guards received a message. Next, the large city gate swung open. Beside the main gate was a side door. Previously, all the pedestrians had entered through the side door. But now, the main gate had swung open.

The guards on duty stood straight and solemnly said, "Welcome, Grandmaster Su!"

Grandmaster?

Su Yu smiled in amusement. All around him, the pedestrians looked at him with astonishment.

"Who's that? They're opening the main gate for him?"

"Is he a Mountainsea?"

"This is a treatment given only to Mountainseas or senior researchers, right?"

"Grandmaster Su? He's so young. I've never heard of him before..."

"Is this Su Yu?"

Instantly, silence descended.

The genius of Great Xia, Su Yu, had finally arrived.

Ignoring everyone around him, Su Yu hopped off the suanni, stepped into the city, and took a deep breath. He had arrived.
