Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 206: Divine Character Rejection (2)

Su Yu spent three days reading without stopping. He only read through each text once. He did not want to spend too much time on a single text and accidentally destroying it. He didn\'t know too many languages. He only found 12 texts written in languages he knew.

Even so, reading 12 texts in 3 days was still an impressive feat. After all, one would exhaust willpower reading willpower texts. After every read, Su Yu would need to spend around an hour or two to recover his willpower. He had not been able to fully comprehend everything he had read.

Some texts were rather confusing so he wasn\'t able to get any Divine Characters out of them. In total, he had formed six new Divine Characters. If he was able to keep all six of them, Bai Feng and Chen Yong would probably be shocked. Six characters in three days. That was incredible.

Alas, Su Yu kept none of them. All the characters were destroyed and fed to his three existing characters.

He did manage to discover the advantages of doing this. The biggest advantage was the fact that he no longer needed to use too much of his own willpower to nurture his characters. They could nourish themselves with these destroyed characters.

"I was worried about nurturing my Divine Characters since I have to form 99 of them. But now, it is obvious there are options I can take to reduce the pressure on myself."

Things still wouldn\'t be that bad for now. When he reached the Skysoar Realm and needed to advance his Divine Characters into the second tier, things would become far more troublesome.

To raise a Divine Character into the point of advancement, one would need a few years of hard work unless one found some unique growth methods. Of course, one wasn\'t limited to only growing a single character at a time.

Bai Feng would be a good example of that. Although he hadn\'t told Su Yu anything, Su Yu knew that a genius like Bai Feng had probably advanced his Divine Characters as well.

"The blood character is showing signs of advancement."

While leaving the First Fusion Hall, Su Yu checked the blood character. After absorbing a large amount of blood essence and the leftover willpower of six destroyed characters, it had grown larger than before. The red glow on its body had also become brighter than before.? It could probably advance after being fed a few more characters.

...

Outside the First Fusion Hall, in the fake room.

Bai Feng and Chen Yong were waiting.

When Bai Feng saw Su Yu coming out, he cautiously asked, "Did you manage to form any characters?"

Su Yu hesitated slightly before flashing an honest and apologetic smile, "Teacher, these characters are harder to form than human characters. I wasn\'t able to form a complete character."

Once again, he was telling the truth. He did manage to form characters, but they were incomplete since his existing characters had destroyed those new characters. Sure, most of the new characters had been eaten by his existing characters, but tiny traces of their previous existences could still be seen in his sea of willpower.

If his teacher refused to believe him, he could always form a myriad race character in the future and preserve it as proof.

He had a feeling that his book might be very important. It might be the sole human Eternal Divine Character in existence.

Bai Feng might be his teacher, but the human heart was not something that should be tempted too much. Unless he suspected someone of harboring evil designs toward him, it would be much better to not tempt anyone with a reason to act unfavorably toward him.

When Bai Feng heard those words, he frowned. But he soon smiled and said, "That\'s good to hear. Although you couldn\'t form complete characters, it is good enough that you can still form myriad race characters. In fact, this is how things should work for a normal person."

At first, he couldn\'t help but to feel somewhat downcast. But after thinking about it, wasn\'t it completely normal for one to form an incomplete character after three days? Even he needed several reading sessions to form a few strokes of a character. What Su Yu did previously was too abnormal.

Only now did Su Yu displayed the qualities of a normal genius. Yes, he was still a genius as an untalented individual would probably take months to form a few strokes of a character.

Chen Yong smiled, "Yeah. Just getting the early form of a Divine Character is good enough. Which race\'s character is it?"

"Devil scorpion race. It\'s a strong character. I feel like I need some time to complete it."

"Devil scorpion race...that\'s not too bad." Chen Yong nodded, "The devil scorpion race is ranked over 300 among the myriad races. Their tail-stabbing ability is quite strong. It is a very sharp attack. Although you didn\'t manage to form the pierce character, the strong character of that race should work nicely too. In that case, you now have four Divine Characters. Three are complete and one is brand new. This is actually quite fast. Try to complete it within a month or two and get five characters by the end of the year."

It was the 4th of September today. The end of year was still quite far away. Chen Yong hoped that Su Yu could form his fifth Divine Character by the end of the year. In truth, even that was quite a high expectation.

After all, he was expecting Su Yu to form five Divine Characters in less than a year, or to be precise, less than half a year. If Su Yu could continue growing at the same speed, he would be able to complete 18 characters in a few years. At that time, he could start considering his advancement into the Skysoar Realm.

A multiple character faction member who could enter the Skysoar Realm within three to five years was most definitely better and stronger than single character faction members who could do the same within one to two years.

"Your Senior Sister has been with us for over two years. She joined the academy around two years ago." Chen Yong couldn\'t help but to recall his student. He smiled and said, "When she joined the academy, she was already at the Mental Tempering Stage. Over the past two years, she had formed seven Divine Characters. She is now at the ninth-stage Great Strength Realm with 95 percent willpower.

"With her speed, she can probably get her tenth character after one more year. She can probably enter the Infinite Strength Realm next year too. If everything progresses smoothly, she can try entering the Skysoar Realm in two years."

Chen Yong was quite satisfied with his student. "That would be her fourth year in the academy. Advancing into the Skysoar Realm within four years is enough to classify her as a freak as well."

Bai Feng frowned and said, "Will her injuries slow her down?"

Chen Yong sighed, "She will definitely be slowed down by a few months. There is nothing we can do about that. Just treat it as a form of tempering. She can take this chance to rest as well. She has been working very hard for the past two years to enter the Top 100 Ranking."

Su Yu asked curiously, "Martial Uncle, how long did Senior Sister take to enter the top 100?"

"A year and a half." Chen Yong was smiling again. "This is her first year in the top 100. When she first entered the ranking, she was already at the eighth-stage Great Strength Realm with 90 percent willpower."

It was actually quite impressive to get into the ranking in one and a half years. Wu Jia\'s circumstances were different from Su Yu as she had joined the academy at the Mental Tempering Stage.

With her cultivation of eighth-stage Great Strength Realm, Mental Tempering Stage, and multiple Divine Characters, it wasn\'t surprising that she could get into the top 100. With all that, she definitely possessed the strength comparable to an Infinite Strength cultivator.

"Who defeated Senior Sister?"

Chen Yong said, "Don\'t worry about all that. Your current mission is to cultivate, form more Divine Characters, learn more languages, open more acupoints, and strengthen your willpower."

Chen Yong knew what Su Yu was thinking about. He discouraged that and said, "You have a lot of things to do next. You also need to get a better grasp on your character technique. It won\'t work just because you have successfully formed the frame for it. You need to learn about the relationship and teamwork between characters, learning to use and explore your character abilities together. You will be very busy for the next year or two. Thus, there are things that you don\'t need to worry about. Only start considering the Top 100 Ranking when you possess the combat strength of an Infinite Strength cultivator without the help of blood essence."

He had received some news about Su Yu recently. And he had heard about Su Yu\'s victory over Chen Qi.

But Su Yu had utilized blood essence ability to win that match. Bai Feng had been keeping the matter concerning blood essence abilities a secret from even him. That was understandable as it wasn\'t a good thing for too many people to learn about it now.

But blood essence was still an external object. Each drop of blood essence would only work once. If Su Yu relied on something like that to get into the top 100, he would end up being challenged by everyone all the time.

Was he supposed to consume blood essence for every single match? Did he even have that much blood essence to consume? Would all the challenges get in the way of his cultivation? Thus, Chen Yong hoped that Su Yu would not consider all that before gaining sufficient strength.

Su Yu nodded and said nothing else. His martial uncle was right. He was still quite far away from the top 100. But he also believed that he wouldn\'t take long to gain enough strength to challenge the ranking.

"To gain enough strength, I need enough blood essence and human willpower texts."

Suddenly, Su Yu asked, "Teacher, I have been skipping classes for a few days. Is that fine?"

"Don\'t worry. I applied for leave on your behalf." Bai Feng said indifferently, "After this, take your leave from those in the intermediate class. You will start attending the senior class from now on. Also, you will have one additional mission from now on. You can start feeding the creatures locked in the prison zone of the research center."

Chen Yong looked at Bai Feng with a frown.

Bai Feng calmly said, "Senior Brother, a cultural researcher walking the path of offense must have courage as well. He needs to get used to withstanding the pressure and oppression of powerful opponents. It won\'t do if he ends up going limp the moment he encounters a myriad race enemy."

Chen Yong gave it some thought and nodded.

Su Yu was still Bai Feng\'s student. It wouldn\'t be proper for Chen Yong to tell Bai Feng how to teach his own student. But Chen Yong personally believed that it was still too early for Su Yu to be exposed to all that.

The creatures imprisoned in the research center were all incredibly ferocious. And they were very powerful as well.

Bai Feng smiled, "That\'s nothing. I intend to let him fight those creatures when he grows stronger. That way, he can experience the true threat of death. This would be much better than the so-called spars with the other students."

Su Yu heard his teacher, but he wasn\'t really scared. In fact, he was even looking forward to it. He wasn\'t a total rookie. In Nanyuan and during his journey to the capital, he had fought and killed for real.

However, none of his previous opponents were non-humans, so he wondered if it would feel different fighting these opponents. He had also realized something. Bai Feng was too carefree. Therefore, the way he taught would certainly be rather rough. Most of the time, he only cared about reaching a goal and nothing else.

Chen Yong was far more gentle in comparison. He would take everything into consideration. Simply put, Bai Feng was akin to someone raising livestock free-range while Chen Yong was akin to a mother.

Perhaps it was due to their age, but their personalities were the main reason for the difference between the two. Bai Feng walked the path of offense. For him, the result was more important while the process did not matter that much.

"One gentle and one rough..."

That was Su Yu\'s evaluation on Chen Yong and Bai Feng. He wondered if the senior sister that he had yet to meet was similar to his martial uncle in character.

Neither style was better than the other, but after thinking about it, Su Yu concluded that it was more accurate to say that his martial uncle was someone who was both gentle and tough at the same time. He still remembered how his martial uncle had threatened Manager Zhou before.

Bai Feng did not waste more time and said, "Senior Brother, I\'m leaving. Wait until I\'m done with my research. I will take my revenge on every single one of them."

Chen Yong did not say anything and only waved his hand. He knew how his junior brother was as a person. For now, his junior brother was still fully focused on research. And when he was finally done with his research and had some free time in his hands, he would probably create quite a lot of trouble in the academy.

Chen Yong could only hope that his teacher would already be back by then. Otherwise, he wasn\'t sure if he could really withstand all the pressure that would come from that.
