Tribulation of Myriad Races

He was someone who had suppressed the likes of Wu Qi and Bai Feng. Many people were keeping their eyes on him. The moment Xia Longwu stepped down from his position, the person with the most support to be the next prefect wouldn\'t be Xia Huyou. Instead, it would be Xia Yuwen.

Great Xia required a powerful prefect. That had never changed. Xia Yuwen had recently broken through into the Cloudbreach Realm in the Allheaven Battlefield.

"Cousin Yuwen..."

That was a genius. But his second granduncle did not look highly upon Xia Yuwen. He believed that Xia Yuwen was not comparable to people like Xia Longwu or even the crippled Xia Yunji.

"Forget it. For now, I\'ll focus on my business."

Xia Huyou yawned and decided to return to his bed. For now, he could only focus on his business. There were things that he simply couldn\'t do anything about for now.

Meanwhile, after his conversation with Xia Huyou, Su Yu decided to look for Bai Feng to have a talk. But his teacher was nowhere to be seen. He was feeling very helpless. Fortunately, Bai Feng was no longer the only person he could look for if he had something to ask. When the sun was up, he called a different number.

"Martial Uncle!"

"Su Yu. How are you?"

In the books depository, Chen Yong appeared to be in a good mood the moment he heard Su Yu\'s voice. Wu Jia, who was nearby, couldn\'t help but to look at her teacher curiously. Was the caller her junior brother? She had yet to meet that junior brother of hers.

Her face was still rather pale, but she was no longer coughing badly. Recently, her teacher had bought her a lot of valuable medicinal items. According to her teacher, the money for all that was provided by that junior brother who had just entered the academy.

After a short chat with Su Yu, Chen Yong smiled and said, "Come to the books depository. I\'ll give you a detailed explanation. Since your senior sister is around, I can take this chance to teach both of you at the same time."

"Sure."

Su Yu agreed and ended the call.

When Wu Jia saw that the call had ended, she asked curiously, "Teacher, is Junior Brother Su Yu coming?"

"Yeah." Chen Yong smiled, "Your Martial Uncle is missing again. He is probably busy with his experiments. Su Yu is quite pitiful. When he has questions, there is nobody around to answer him. Your Martial Uncle is basically as reliable as your grandteacher."

He shook his head helplessly. "Back then, your grandteacher did the same. After accepting your martial uncle as a student, he hadn\'t really spent much time actually teaching his new student."

Wu Jia gloomily said, "Teacher, I heard that Martial Uncle Bai was supposed to be your student, right?"

If that was really the case, Bai Feng should be her senior brother, not martial uncle.

Chen Yong laughed, "Yeah, but your grandteacher said that I\'m not a good teacher so he took the student for himself. But in the end, the task of teaching ended up falling in my hands anyway..."

Chen Yong did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Wu Jia was speechless. "Grandteacher is truly...ahem. Teacher, you said that Junior Brother is already at the fifth-stage Great Strength Realm?"

"Yeah. He\'s very talented. Don\'t worry. When you\'re fully healed up, you can probably reach the Infinite Strength Realm. At that time, your willpower would probably be around the peak of the Mental Tempering Stage as well."

Wu Jia bit her lip angrily and said, "That Huang Qifeng is a bastard. I will definitely have my revenge on him one day."

"Don\'t be too rash," Chen Yong said. "He has already reached the Infinite Strength Realm and peak Mental Tempering Stage. I already checked him out. He is really very strong. Much stronger than you, in fact. I\'m afraid his true strength is probably comparable to a regular fifth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator."

He did not wish to destroy his student\'s confidence, but he still had to remind her, "By the time you\'re healed up, his combat strength would have probably reached the level of a regular sixth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator."

Wu Jia sulked silently.

Sixth-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

She was now a ninth-stage Great Strength cultivator. With her Mental Tempering Stage cultivation, she could face a regular third-stage Infinite Strength cultivator. But a sixth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator was too strong for her to handle.

"What if Huang Qifeng targets Junior Brother Su when he starts challenging the Top 100 Ranking? Teacher, would Junior Brother Su be strong enough to challenge the ranking in three months?"

"Yes." Chen Yong nodded. There was no doubt about that.

Back when Su Yu fought Zheng Yunhui, he already possessed the combat prowess of an Infinite Strength cultivator. And the Infinite Strength Realm was basically the strength a student needed to climb the Top 100 Ranking.

Naturally, the higher the ranking, the stronger the student would be. The top 10 students were basically strong enough to contend against Skysoars.

Zhan Hai, the student occupying the first place, had previously fought a Skysoar to a standstill. Some time had passed since then. He was probably stronger than regular first-stage Skysoars now.

Chen Yong smiled and said, "If Huang Qifeng challenges him, he can simply concede defeat. It is pointless to suffer injuries in a hopeless match like that. Since he is still weak, he can only be patient. He has plenty of time to face these opponents in the future."

Wu Jia did not say anything. She continued sulking silently. Huang Qifeng was intolerable. But her teacher was right. What could the weaker person do? Was her junior brother supposed to face that bastard and get seriously injured like her?

After a short chat, Su Yu arrived. This time, he wasn\'t stopped downstairs. After the previous incident, Chen Yong had already given the guards a proper reminder of who they should block and who they shouldn\'t. Recently, Zhou Pingsheng had been away from the books depository so nobody there dared to provoke Chen Yong.

When Su Yu appeared before Chen Yong, his expression changed. He was a ninth-stage Cloudbreach expert! Someone who was only a step away from the Mountainsea Realm. His eyes were sharp.

He had not deliberately scanned Su Yu, but he could see that something was different about Su Yu with one look. He was so shocked he even forgot his manners. He stood up and stared at Su Yu with an odd look in his eyes.

After studying Su Yu for a while, he turned to look at his own student. His expression changed several times. His student was also a prideful individual. If she knew about this, would her injuries grow worse?

At that thought, Chen Yong said, "Su Yu, you\'ve arrived. Follow me to my room. I have something to say."

Su Yu was confused, but he nodded in agreement.

When his gaze landed on the young lady nearby, he flashed his trademark honest smile and said, "Hello, Senior Sister."

Wu Jia was pleased to see the friendly greeting and smiled, "You look very good when you smile, Junior Brother. Go with Teacher first. We\'ll chat later."

"Sure thing!"

Su Yu was acting like an obedient child. With the same honest smile, he nodded and scratched his head before following Chen Yong away.

Meanwhile, Chen Yong was somewhat speechless. Why was this kid still pretending? Why fool even his own senior sister?

Forget it. This kid had fooled even him! If he hadn\'t personally witnessed the kid scamming the single character faction, he wouldn\'t have known just what kind of a madman this martial nephew of his was. His junior brother was quite a straightforward person. How had he accepted such a student?

The first thing he did after entering the room was sealing his surroundings. He then solemnly asked, "You broke through?"

"Yeah. I got lucky." Su Yu flashed a wide smile and bashfully said, "I swallowed a lot of blood essence for my growth. It\'s all thanks to the Divine Character I obtained from Teacher\'s willpower text. Teacher sure is impressive. That character is too useful. After making so many merit points, I bought some blood essence for cultivation and broke through."

Nowadays, Little Blood had been reduced to a professional scapegoat. It wasn\'t like anyone would be able to prove otherwise if he insisted on placing all the blame on the blood character.

Since a blood character was expected to be related to blood essence, his blood character was the perfect cover for his book.

"Divine Character..."

Chen Yong was speechless. Bai Feng himself didn\'t have a character that powerful. But a random Source Opening Codex he wrote had actually given birth to such a unique character. If he was Bai Feng, he would probably go crazy as well.

"Sixth-stage Great Strength Realm?"

He hadn\'t scanned Su Yu, so he was unsure of Su Yu\'s actual cultivation level. He only knew that Su Yu had definitely broken through.

Su Yu smiled bashfully and said, "Uhm...slightly better than that..."

"Seventh-stage? That was fast!"

Impressive. This kid had reached the late-stage. That was truly fast.

His student had been in the academy for over two years and had only reached the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm. Meanwhile, Su Yu was already on the verge of catching up to her. How terrifying.

Once again, Su Yu smiled bashfully. He had no choice but to smile as he was afraid that his martial uncle would beat him up otherwise. He softly said, "Martial Uncle, even stronger than that..."

"Huh?"

"Uhm...I...am at the ninth-stage..."

Bang!

Chen Yong broke a nearby vase and sent his willpower out toward Su Yu. Next, he pointed at Su Yu as his jaw dropped. He was so shocked he couldn\'t say anything. It had only been a few days since they last met. What had this kid done over such a short period of time?

"Is...your teacher aware of this?"

"No. I haven\'t met him since my breakthrough."

Chen Yong calmed down and said, "When telling your teacher, remember to not keep anything valuable around you. Also, stay far away from him before telling him anything. I\'m worried that he would accidentally slap you to death while not paying attention."

Chen Yong coughed and clarified, "Your teacher has just entered the eighth-stage Skysoar Realm. He is probably still not used to his new strength. It is better to be cautious. Or you can call me over to protect you when you\'re ready to tell him."

"..."

Su Yu was stunned. Was this such a big deal? Did his martial uncle think that he would still dare to inform his teacher after hearing all that? He was afraid of death!

When he recalled how his teacher nearly crushed his head in shock when he reached the fifth-stage Great Strength Realm, he started wondering if he should just keep this a secret from Bai Feng. Maybe he should just wait until he was at the Skysoar Realm. At that time, his teacher wouldn\'t be able to accidentally slap him to death anymore, right?

Chen Yong had complicated emotions. Ninth-stage Great Strength Realm...This kid was truly a freak. He had actually caught up to Wu Jia. And Wu Jia had actually been in the academy for over two years.

Would his student jump off the building in shame after hearing that? The tenth floor was quite high, so it would still be quite dangerous.

Chen Yong said, "Don\'t tell your senior sister anything. Give her some time to get used to you. She is still nursing his injuries."

Chen Yong couldn\'t help but to lament that life was difficult. Fortunately, this Su Yu wasn\'t his own student. Otherwise, he would have to be shocked by the freak every single day. That was no way to live.

In fact, his junior brother was a very suitable teacher for this freak. After all, his junior brother was quite an easygoing person. He would only be shocked for a short while before completely forgetting about it.

Chen Yong couldn\'t help but to laugh with amusement. He was starting to sympathize with his junior brother.
