Tribulation of Myriad Races

All sorts of mounts could be seen in the sky outside Tiandu. One mount after another vanished in the distance.

News of what happened started spreading through voice transmission talismans.

“Su Yu won the fight with Shan Xiong after detonating 144 acupoints. Shan Xiong’s physical body was destroyed while his sea of willpower was also heavily damaged.”

“Shan Xiong is suspected to be a secret multiple character cultivator.”

“A fused character with multiple abilities. He deliberately lost to shift the attention of the public to Su Yu.”

“Top secret: The fifth principal’s character might be a fused character as well. Shan Tianhao had attempted to seize the fifth principal’s character as a reference for Shan Xiong.”

One message after another was sent.

Su Yu won the fight. But his victory was no longer the biggest news.

There was an even bigger news. Shan Xiong might have hidden his strength. Su Yu was strong, but he couldn’t be as strong as a Mountainsea. He was an orthodox genius of the multiple character faction with a character technique. Sure, he did switch his weapon to a hammer during the fight, but everyone recognized that as the Soul Expanding Hammer. Thus, nobody paid that hammer much attention.

He was basically a normal multiple character faction genius who had focused too much on his physical body. Meanwhile, Shan Xiong was abnormal. He seemed like a single character cultivator, but he also seemed like a multiple character cultivator. For many people, he was a lot more mysterious than Su Yu.

Why were they so afraid of showing Su Yu his character? Jiang Tao had snatched the character before Su Yu could even take it. They did not dare to even let Su Yu hold the character. Were they afraid that Su Yu would kill Shan Xiong? Or were they simply afraid of Su Yu’s expertise as a multiple character cultivator and a researcher?

These news started spreading among the upper echelons of humanity.

Source Soul Research Center. Four Seasons Pavilion.

Niu Baidao laughed heartily as he said, “In terms of ruthlessness, nobody is your match, kid. How did you even think of that idea? If you ask me, he doesn’t seem like a multiple character cultivator. Instead, the abilities of multiple characters have probably been stripped of their original characters before being planted into his character.”

Su Yu smiled, “Who knows? Also, ability transfer is the secret technique of Great Xia’s multiple character faction. That technique was sealed decades ago. Back then, that technique was still incomplete. How had they obtained that technique?”

Yes. There was a similar technique in Great Xia, but it had been sealed many years ago. And it was an incomplete technique. Back then, Hong Tan had given up on this research to focus on his blood essence research.

Niu Baidao smiled, “Forget it. Who cares? In any case, that kid is catching even more attention than you now. His character is too unique. Meanwhile, your characters are considered normal. He is in an even bigger trouble now. This is good. He can tank some of the heat for you.”

He took out a large wing and said, “Take this and nourish your body with it. Why did you detonate your acupoints? You were lucky you had over 300 acupoints or losing that many acupoints would have killed you.”

“It’s fine. At worst, I’ll lose my physical body.” Su Yu smiled, “I can always cultivate from scratch. I took less than a year to open 360 acupoints. I’m not worried.”

“…”

Holy shit! Those words were somewhat hurtful to hear. But that was true. This damn kid had spent less than a year to open so many acupoints. In that case, even if he lost his body, he would only take a year to return to his peak.

Su Yu did not forget to express his gratitude. He said, “Thanks, Principal. This is the wing of a fifth-stage Sunmoon. There is enough blood in this wing to extract a drop of blood essence. That golden peng will probably suffer greatly from this.”

Niu Baidao smiled, “Of course. Jiang Tao is the first student of a pseudo Invincible. Touching him can easily provoke Zhou Polong. But it’s fine to take it out on the mount. Furthermore, that mount isn’t even Zhou Polong’s. Instead, he’s the protector of the Great Zhou Cultural Research Academy like the old dragon from Great Xia.”

“Thanks for venting the anger for me. You’re indeed incredible, Principal.”

Su Yu used the chance to flatter the principal. Then again, the principal was really quite impressive. That was a fifth-stage Sunmoon. Sure, it was a sneak attack, but the principal still needed to be strong enough to instantly tear a wing off the golden peng.

“Focus on recovery. This is nothing.” Niu Baidao laughed, “Great Ming doesn’t like provoking others, but we are no pushover either. For now, you can use your recuperation as an excuse to vanish from the public eye for a bit.”

“I understand.”

“I’ll be taking my leave, then.”

Niu Baidao did not stay for long and left after he was done with his business there. Next, someone visited on behalf of Zhu Tiandao. That person was there to deliver him some healing pills and earthly source fruits.

Nothing else needed to be said. They had worked together to create massive trouble for Shan Xiong. It didn’t matter if others would really believe them. Unless Shan Xiong was willing to let the various experts study his character in detail, he would not be able to clear the suspicion on him.

As for the matter of letting everyone study his character, that would not happen unless he was fully abandoned by Zhou Polong. In any case, even if his character was not a fused character, it would definitely still contain a big secret.

Some even started suspecting that the character contained the secrets of Zhou Polong’s exclusive technique.

Zhou Polong!

Yes. Su Yu had not intended to scheme against Zhou Polong when he made that claim. Nor did he have the courage to do so. But some unexpected rumors started spreading. Shan Xiong was Zhou Polong’s student. In that case, was there anything special about Zhou Polong’s character? Could he be the second coming of Ye Batian?

It was also at this moment that many people recalled one thing. This person who was about to attempt his dao affirmation was a cultural researcher as well. Was he going to advance through physical cultivation? Or was he…going to make the same attempt as the fifth principal?

How long had it been since Zhou Polong last fought in public? With that, some people recalled a distant secret. Back then, some of the fifth principal’s data had gone missing. Who was the thief? Could it be…Zhou Polong?

Was that how Shan Xiong came into existence? This was an era filled with imaginative individuals and conspiracy theorists.

Had Zhou Polong been demanding the fifth principal’s character for himself or Shan Xiong previously? What about his character? How did it look like? Could anyone check it?

Knowledge Seeking Realm.

Once again, Great Han King was forced to exit seclusion due to a matter of great importance.

This time, nobody else was called for the meeting. Only Great Han King and Silk Destroying King were present.

With a frown, Silk Destroying King asked, “Is that true? Damn it. If that’s really true, that damn Su Yu has ruined Zhou Polong’s plan! He could have silently advanced into an Invincible cultural researcher!

“But now, it will become a lot more troublesome than before. Great Zhou King has been trying to activate the Human Realm’s suppressive force all these years. Everyone knows that, including the myriad races. And now, we learn that Zhou Polong might be the second Ye Batian. This will be very troublesome.”

Great Han King was feeling greatly troubled as well. “I don’t know. It has been many years since Zhou Polong fought. Who knows? But if this is true, his coming breakthrough will be even more dangerous than Xia Longwu’s. The myriad races will definitely make a move against him. There is no doubting that.”

“Sigh. This is so troublesome. Why is this happening right before the advancement? That Su Yu is truly a troublemaker!” The Silk Destroying King grumbled helplessly. But could anyone blame Su Yu?

He wasn’t Zhou Polong’s subordinate. Shan Xiong was the one who had challenged him while Zhou Polong was the culprit behind Liu Wenyan’s suppression. It was only natural that he would try to scheme against Zhou Polong.

But for humanity as a whole, this would be a great loss. This was a major trouble.

“We need to ask Zhou Polong about this. But he might not tell us the truth. This can’t do. I need to see Great Zhou King and Great Qin King at the Allheaven Battlefield. If Zhou Polong is really capable of affirming his dao, we need to gather our forces and help him with it. Damn it! Damn that bastard! Why did he tell Shan Xiong to challenge Su Yu? Couldn’t he be more patient?”

The Silk Destroying King was starting to feel agitated. That might be the human with the greatest hope of becoming an Invincible cultural researcher.

Great Han King nodded, “Make haste. I will start patrolling the Human Realm to prevent the myriad races from sending more spies here. I’ll also protect Zhou Polong in secret as a precaution against assassinations.”

“Be very careful. Don’t let him out of your sight.”

Silk Destroying King had to set off to the Allheaven Battlefield immediately and notify the Invincibles there. Was Zhou Polong a second Ye Batian? How confident was he? Could he really advance into an Invincible cultural researcher? If he could, would he be able to activate the suppressive force?

Some myriad race experts were also asking the same questions.

The myriad race experts hidden in the Human Realm were triggered into action. Some of them started sneaking into Great Zhou while some returned to the Allheaven Battlefield to report this to their races.

Damn it! Liu Wenyan and his line might be the smokescreen all along. Meanwhile, Zhou Polong was the human who was supposed to turn into a multiple character Invincible. This perfect plan had been accidentally ruined by Su Yu!

Those damn humans had nearly succeeded! Why? Because the myriad races were fully focused on Xia Longwu currently. Yes. Xia Longwu.

Meanwhile, they had been completely neglecting Zhou Polong. If he decided to attempt his dao affirmation at the same time as Xia Longwu, it was very likely that he would succeed. And the moment he succeeded, it would be too late for the myriad races to react.

Those cunning humans had nearly succeeded! This was too scary!

Great Xia City.

Wan Tiansheng and Marquis Xia were drinking tea while looking at each other speechlessly.

After a while, Marquis Xia asked, “Do you think…that’s true? Has Zhou Polong been secretly cultivating the path of multiple characters? Has he been suppressing the multiple character faction to reduce the attention on him? After all, Great Zhou has even reached an agreement to suppress multiple character faction so that he can advance smoothly…”

Wan Tiansheng’s mind was in a mess. After a long silence, he said, “I don’t know. This is too hard to verify. But that damn Su Yu is simply a troublemaker!”

That was a super troublemaker. Even they weren’t sure if that was true. Was Zhou Polong a secret multiple character cultivator? With his talent, he might really succeed. But now…wouldn’t all his efforts thus far be ruined?

Regardless of whether that was true, the myriad races would no longer allow him to complete his advancement. Wan Tiansheng looked at the sky. Not long ago, he still felt like everything was under his control. But now…why was everything going out of control? Just what had gone wrong?

Su Yu!

Yes. Because of Su Yu.

The kid had casually uttered some words to trouble his enemies, but the result was that he had driven both the myriad races and humanity crazy.
