Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 648: Fishing Everyday (2)

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to waste more time on Yuan Qingdong. He had too many things to do. He wasn't even in Great Xia anymore. Why should he care how chaotic things got there? He would simply slap Yuan Qingdong's face from afar and let Yuan Qingdong sulk in the corner.

It wasn't easy to do something against a Sunmoon who was also a descendant of an Invincible. Not even people like Zhu Tiandao and Xia Longwu could kill Yuan Qingdong without a proper reason.

If they decided to throw caution to the wind, everyone would suffer. They could only do something if they had a solid reason for it. For example, nobody said a word about Jin Yuhui's death. Since they had strong proof of Jin Yuhui's betrayal, there was nothing the others could do about his death.

As for someone with Yuan Qingdong's background, not even proof of collusion with the cult would be enough to get him killed. After all, his ancestor could simply step forth and claim that Yuan Qingdong was also an undercover agent.

They had to catch him red-handed like how they caught Jin Yuhui before they could do anything to him. Thus, Su Yu did not expect to finish Yuan Qingdong with one move. He would take it slow. It wasn't like he was in a rush.

Instead, Yuan Qingdong was the one who would feel anxious. After all, he had been shamed again and again, dragging the Yuan Family's name through the mud. If Great Yuan King found out about this, he would need to punish Yuan Qingdong to prove that he was fair. If he doubled down and started supporting Yuan Qingdong instead, the masses would start viewing him as a villain.

Or at the very least, Su Yu would be able to conclude that Great Yuan King was a villain. And he would expect no fairness from a villain. He would simply play the long game with them.

Suddenly, the suanni, who was watching the door hollered, "Lord, you have guests."

Outside the research center.

Both the suanni and the mountaindrill bull were standing guard in front of the door. According to Su Yu, they were too weak so this was the only job they could do. Were they supposed to sit around doing nothing?

In fact, they were quite happy with this job. They felt very uncomfortable staying inside the research center, especially when they saw all the devices meant for cutting. They couldn't stop imagining that these devices would one day be used to dissect them.

Some students nearby were looking over curiously. The research center was proving to be quite an impressive sight with its new guards.

After all, the suanni and mountaindrill bull races could be considered strong races. And both of them were ninth-stage Skysoars. Thus, it was pretty incredible to have these to serving as guards.

The guests looked just as impressive as well. To be precise, it was a squad of soldiers. Clad in black armor, standing amid a forest of bloodstained spears, they looked like they had just returned from the battlefield.

When Su Yu appeared, the leader of the squad asked loudly, "Is this Researcher Su Yu? I am a deputy general in the Ironhawk Army, here to complete the transaction."

"Yeah..."

Su Yu was quite surprised. There were thirty soldiers in front of him, and all of them appeared quite strong.

One of them was a Cloudbreach while the rest were Skysoars. This was a squad of elite soldiers.

The deputy general wasted no time and took out a storage ring. With a deep voice, he said, "Please show me your proof of identity and verify the completion of this trade."

Su Yu said nothing and took out a document verifying his identity as a researcher. After checking the document, the deputy general handed the ring to Su Yu. With the ring in hand, Su Yu sent a sliver of willpower inside to take a look.

He was instantly alarmed by what he saw. These were truly freshly obtained corpses. Inside the ring were the corpses of a first divine and an original devil, both freshly killed. Additionally, there were several drops of freshly sealed blood essence in the ring as well.

The corpses where the additional blood essence had been extracted from were nowhere to be seen. Since Su Yu had not requested for more corpses, Great Qin would naturally keep the corpses for themselves.

"Thank you, General. This is correct."

Su Yu took out a seal and stamped his confirmation on the receipt. This was a seal that would be provided to every researcher. Each seal was unique, and thanks to the special craftmanship used on these seals, they couldn't be replicated.

Su Yu politely said, "You must be exhausted. Have you just returned from the battlefield? Do you want to take a rest inside?"

"Forget it."

The deputy general said, "I still need to report back. Please forgive me, Lord Su."

"I'm not worthy of being called a lord..."

The deputy general said, "If the fusion art is really effective, you will naturally be worthy of being referred as such. I only hope that the fusion art will really be useful to the soldiers.

"The fusion art is already being distributed in Great Qin's military. Some of our geniuses are already starting to exhaust a large amount of resources to open rapidly open their acupoints. They are using even earthly source fruits and heavenly source fruits for this endeavor. Before long, we will be able to verify the effectiveness of this fusion art. If it works, your contribution will surpass even the elimination of a divine or a devil Sunmoon."

Su Yu was quite amazed by Great Qin's efficiency.

His fusion art had not even been released for long, but they were already distributing it among their soldiers. On top of that, they were also sponsoring a group of geniuses to cultivate the new fusion art rapidly. Before long, some of them would be able to start fusing acupoints.

"Has anyone on your side started fusing acupoints yet?"

"Yes. The fusion speed is quite fast. Before I left, someone had already fused twelve acupoints in only four days. But that person is not a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator, so we can't draw any conclusion yet. If we can verify that this fusion art can help everyone rapidly reach the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm, the millions upon millions of Great Qin soldiers will remember your contribution, Lord Su."

The surrounding students were shocked. Fusing twelve acupoints in only four days? How terrifying. With this speed, wouldn't that cultivator reach the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm from the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm in about one month?

Some of these people were taking it slow with the cultivation of the fusion art. But hearing this, they were starting to get impatient.

Su Yu said, "That person must be pretty talented. They are pretty much fusing three acupoints per day. A normal person will only be able to fuse two acupoints per day."

Fuck!

Wasn't that almost the same?

The surrounding students were speechless. Even with the so-called slower speed, one would still be able to reach the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm in less than two months. That was still incredibly impressive.

Su Yu said, "In truth, it is still somewhat of a waste for a genius capable of opening 108 acupoints to cultivate this fusion art. I'll be releasing my Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art in the near future. With this art, you can triple your speed of acupoint opening. It is a middle-tier heaven-grade cultivation method with 126 acupoints with the cultivation speed of an earth-grade cultivation method. If you're willing to spend more money on cultivation resources, you can even increase this speed.

"This cultivation method is suitable for warriors with ordinary talent. At that time, everyone will be able to cultivate a heaven-grade cultivation method, rapidly fuse their acupoints, and reach the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm. And with this new cultivation method, they will be as strong as the older Skysoars as they will have the combat strength of someone three stages above them."

The deputy general asked with a shivering voice, "Are you serious?"

"Yes. But I still need some time to complete my research. Be patient. Get your geniuses to cultivate the fusion art first."

"Lord, if you're willing to distribute this cultivation method, the soldiers of Great Qin will be eternally grateful to you."

A heaven-grade cultivation method with the cultivation speed of an earth-grade cultivation method! With the fusion art, one could further increase one's cultivation speed to the speed of a profound-grade cultivation method.

In other words, one would be able to cultivate a heaven-grade cultivation method at the speed of a profound-grade cultivation method. At that point, everyone would be a genius.

In the past, only super geniuses would cultivate heaven-grade cultivation methods. In the future, the regular cultivators that were stuck with profound-grade cultivation methods would be able to cultivate a heaven-grade cultivation method as well.

That was too scary!

Someone cultivating a heaven-grade cultivation method could basically rival a profound-grade cultivator who was six stages higher. If everyone could obtain such a boost of strength, an army of Infinite Strength soldiers would turn into an army of Skysoars. That was too scary!

The deputy general asked with great difficulty, "Lord, are there any adverse effects to this cultivation method?"

"Yes, there is." The deputy general was disappointed to hear that. But Su Yu merely smiled and said, "It requires a lot of source qi, so you need to cultivate somewhere with high source qi density. After all, its acupoint opening speed is triple the normal speed, so that's understandable, right?"

"Oh."

The deputy general exhaled in relief. That wasn't a big deal. The entire Allheaven Battlefield was filled with dense source qi.

"Lord...how long will you take to complete your research?"

"At least one month."

Su Yu mainly needed the time to disguise his cultivation so that nobody could see its origin. The so-called new cultivation method was actually the Body Strengthening Art. This cultivation method was why Su Yu had been able to open so many acupoints.

Of course, the Source Qi Secret Grotto had also played a great role in his growth. There was also the fact that one could cultivate the Body Strengthening Art, a heaven-grade cultivation method, as fast as an earth-stage cultivation method or even faster.

But before Su Yu could release it, he needed to change it somewhat. Even if all the acupoints remained the same, he still needed to change the descriptions of the cultivation method. The complementary Mountainbreak Technique needed to be modified somewhat as well. He couldn't have everyone realize that these originated from the mountainbreak bull at one glance, right? If he released too many myriad race cultivation methods, he would eventually catch the attention of the myriad races.

Thus, Su Yu had decided to put a disguise on every one of the cultivation methods he was going to release.

"Thank you, Lord!" At this point, the deputy general was much warmer to Su Yu than before. He said, "Lord, I'll need to report back at Great Qin. May I tell the prefect about what you told me?"

"Sure."

"Thank you!"

Suddenly, a hawk appeared beside each of the soldiers. Riding on the hawks, the soldiers soared into the sky and flew away in a strict formation.

This was the Ironhawk Army. With celestial rainbow hawks as their mounts, they were able to move at a rapid speed in the air. A celestial rainbow hawk at the Skysoar Realm was faster than even a regular Cloudbreach. Thanks to these mounts, Great Qin was able to maintain a certain level of air superiority on the battlefield.

The celestial rainbow hawk race wasn't exactly a highly-ranked race. It barely made top 1,000. There were no Invincibles in this race, but they had a decent number of Sunmoons. It was rumored that Qin Zhen's mount was a Sunmoon celestial rainbow hawk. He was able to move at an astonishing speed, to the point even Invincibles were finding it hard to capture him.

Looking at the departing soldiers enviously, Su Yu kicked the nearby suanni.

Garbage!

This suanni was bad at fighting, flying, and concealment. Was the suanni race not ashamed of being a top 100 race? The suanni could only stare at the departing celestial rainbow hawks with a wronged expression.

Holy shit!

He could easily kill ten of them with a single bite. Why was Su Yu looking down on him because of those birds? This was unfair! Life here was too difficult!

Nearby, the mountaindrill bull remained completely still and silent. Inwardly, he was feeling smug. At the very least, he could freely move through the earth, unlike the useless suanni.

Su Yu frowned and asked, "The two of you are too weak. Can you even reach the Cloudbreach Realm in the future? If you can't, I might as well..."

Before he could finish, the suanni hurriedly said, "Yes, I can! I have a very high hope of reaching the Cloudbreach Realm, Lord! I was injured previously, but I'm almost fully healed. Give us a few months and we'll definitely enter the Cloudbreach Realm!"

The mountaindrill bull also madly nodded. Just give them a few months! They could do it! The mountaindrill bull wondered if Su Yu was planning to slaughter him for some high-quality beef if he couldn't break through.

That was too scary!

Su Yu nodded, "Good. I was thinking of sending you to the Heart Paradise Island if you really can't break through. Principal Niu is a foodie. The two of you would probably be quite suitable in enriching his menu."

Fuck!

The two beasts cursed inwardly.

This was inhumane!

But they didn't say anything else. The suanni was telling the truth. They had been healing rapidly as of late, and they could feel that a breakthrough was near. Recently, Su Yu had been cultivating each night with his fire character active. The two of them had benefited greatly from that.

The two of them used to be the geniuses of their respective races. Now that they had recovered from their injuries and were staying in an area with high source qi density, they would be able to reach the Cloudbreach Realm in no time.

In truth, the suanni was only a few months away from his advancement back before he was caught. Unfortunately for him, he encountered Hong Tan not long after leaving the Luminous Domain Mansion. If it wasn't for that, he would have reached at least the seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm if not the Mountainsea Realm already.

Su Yu forgot about them immediately after. Looking at the storage ring in his hand, he grew excited.

Blood essence of divines and devils!

Apart from the blood essence of the first divine and original devil races, the blood essence of some other divine and devil races could be found in the ring as well. Had he been killed in his dreams by the divines and devils before? Definitely. Would he be able to find the remaining acupoints through the cultivation methods of these races?

Su Yu returned to the research center impatiently and started sorting out the blood essence in preparation for his cultivation session.

Meanwhile, the details of his conversation with the deputy general started spreading everywhere thanks to the students who were present to hear the talk.

***

Heart Paradise Island.

Niu Baidao laughed and said, "That kid is going to start fishing again."

Why would Su Yu have said those words so openly otherwise? Who was he going to fish this time? Anyone harboring evil designs toward him would do.

Principal Niu wondered if there would be anyone stupid enough to bite the bait. Then again, there might really be such fools out there. After all, there was no reward without risk. Even if they knew that it was dangerous, they would still give it a try. After all, Su Yu was going to release a heaven-grade cultivation method with the cultivation speed of a profound-grade cultivation method. That was too terrifying.

If this continued, the advantage the divine and devil races held over the human race in terms of mid-tier cultivators would be completely eliminated.

And with how fast the human race could breed and grow, a large number of such cultivators would appear in no time. The very balance of the middle-tier battlegrounds might be shaken. And after a few decades, even the battlegrounds of the Mountainseas and Sunmoons might be affected.

With the increase of powerful low-tier cultivators, more Mountainseas and Sunmoons would emerge. And naturally, that would lead to an increase in the number of Invincibles as well. This cultivation method might seem like it wouldn't affect Invincibles, but given enough time, it would.

Seated opposite Niu Baidao was Zhu Tiandao. At the moment, Zhu Tiandao was busy playing with a turtle. Hearing those words, he smiled, "Let him be. What are you afraid of? If I dare to let him distribute even the foundation cultural art, why should I be afraid of a few cultivation methods? Maybe we can use this chance to kill a few Sunmoons and show him how much we value him."

He giggled and said, "I'm going to get even richer! I think I'm tired of earning money. What can I even do with that much money? I should ask for some precious treasures from the other prefectures instead. Things like grottos, cultural weapons, source qi liquid, heavenly source fruit, body forging liquid, talismans, pills, tamed beasts...tsk tsk. I'm going to get so rich!"

Zhu Tiandao was feeling immensely proud of his decision to back Su Yu up.

Su Yu was basically a mobile golden goose. Recruiting Su Yu was as profitable as conquering a minor realm with a much lower level of danger. Xia Xiao'er would probably start crying soon.

At this moment, he finally managed to flip the turtle over. After taking a look, he kicked the turtle back into the lake with a curse, "It's a male? Damn it! I thought it was a female! I wanted to get some turtle eggs..."

Niu Baidao was left speechless. Did this prefect have too much time on his hands?

Looking in the direction of the Source Soul Research Center, he smiled. That was such a brazen kid. If he were to step into the Allheaven Battlefield in the future, he would probably be the same as those lunatics from Great Qin. The kid would probably have the courage to even take it a step further and bait some Invincibles out.
