Tribulation of Myriad Races

"Su Yu." Su Yu assumed an honest and simple-minded expression and said, "#3, don\'t even think of deceiving me. My teacher said that I can\'t talk too much with you guys. But since this is our first meeting and I\'m going to be your beastkeeper from now on, I don\'t mind saying more to you today."

Beastkeeper...When the suanni heard that term, his eyes flashed murderously. These bastards were treating them like domestic animals.

However, the suanni did not reveal his killing intent. He said, "I don\'t see you releasing us. You\'re not capable of that anyway. But can I at least get some normal food? It has been a long time since I last ate a normal meal. Some source qi liquid is not enough to satiate me..."

Su Yu shook his head, "No way. My teacher said that I can only feed you source qi liquid. Even if we feed you meat, my teacher is going to be the one to do it, not me."

The suanni sank into a short silence before saying, "It has been really long since I last ate any meat. Can you get us some random meat? I promise you\'ll be satisfied with what I can give you in return. If you can get me some proper food, I can provide you with a few drops of my blood. As for my blood essence, you won\'t be able to make use of Skysoar blood essence. Even my regular blood is filled with source qi. It will be much more helpful to you than regular source qi liquid.

"You\'re at the Great Strength Realm, right? In this realm, you need powerful blood essence to forge your body. I can\'t give you my blood essence, but my regular blood is enough to help you forge your body. In fact, my regular blood is even better than some of the more common blood essence."

Su Yu shook his head, "No way. If my teacher found out about it, he would kick me out."

"It would be fine. It\'s just some regular food. Back when Bai Feng was in charge of feeding us, he made some deals with us as well. As long as you don\'t release us, everything will be fine. Your faction is pretty poor nowadays. Just look at how desperate Bai Feng is. He\'s even taking from his own student. Can a teacher like this continue supporting you in your path of cultivation?

"Do you know that a Great Strength cultivator isn\'t even qualified to become cannon fodder on the battlefield? To grow strong, opportunities are important. And your presence here is one such opportunity."

The bull that had been pretending to be asleep suddenly said, "Get me some food as well. I can teach you a cultivation method. It is a simple method that requires very few acupoints. Despite that, it is very useful for strengthening your body. Us mountaindrill bulls have powerful bodies. We are comparable with the mountainbreak bulls...Even a regular cultivation method from us is good enough to give you a body that is stronger than a regular human cultivator."

"Come on. Get me some food. I\'m going to starve to death soon. Kid, the opportunity is right in front of you. You need to grab it if you really want to grow."

However, Su Yu still stubbornly shook his head. He started running away while saying, "I can\'t trust any of your words. My teacher said that I shouldn\'t allow myself to be fooled by you guys. I\'m not stupid. Who knows if you\'re trying to fool me into doing something stupid?"

Su Yu ran out of the room.

After the door of the room was shut, the suanni snorted and said, "Damn it, you dumb bull. You were too impatient. I was on the verge of success. Why did you mess it up?"

The mountaindrill bull ignored the suanni and returned to sleep.

Suanni did not mind. He asked, "What do you guys think of this new guy?"

The fire crow spoke with his shrill voice, "Keep observing him for now. Do not act rashly. Suanni, it\'s not a good idea to instigate him during the very first meeting. That will only cause him to be more on guard against us. You should keep waiting until you find a good chance to instigate him."

The white civet opened her eyes and spoke with a coquettish voice, "Suanni, you were too impatient. This new guy is still weak. We can take it slow. It\'s only a matter of time before he\'s tempted by our offers."

"How long will that take?" The suanni gloomily said, "Just how much longer can we keep living?"

The shadow said, "Unless we can give a truly attractive offer, it won\'t be easy to tempt him. It has been so many years. We basically have nothing left. Do you really think that you can tempt him with just a few drops of ordinary blood? Since he can join the multiple character faction, he is definitely a genius. Would a genius care about some regular blood?"

Hearing those words, the other creatures sank into silence.

"Shadow, what do you think we should do?"

The shadow replied, "Wait. We might have to rely on white civet. White civet, you\'re a cultural researcher. He\'s a cultural researcher as well. I can see that Bai Feng is too busy to teach him too much. You can serve as a caring white civet in charge of teaching him more stuff. There is no rush. Let him develop some sympathy and relax his vigilance toward us first. White civet looks the most harmless among us. If he starts trusting white civet, our chance will come."

The white civet replied coquettishly, "Shadow, I have always been harmless. So I don\'t only look harmless. I\'m truly harmless."

"Hehe..."

The other creatures merely sneered. Harmless? The white civet race was good at disguise. And what form of disguise was their favorite? Harmlessness. Everyone here knew each other well.

Why would the white civet be here with them? Because she was too unlucky. She tried assassinating Hong Tan while he was careless. But she ended up defeated. She should count herself lucky for staying alive until now after picking a wrong assassination target.

The white civet smiled, "I am truly innocent. I have never harmed anyone before. If you refuse to believe me, so be it. As for that child...fine. I\'ll have a chat with him the next time he visits. Even if I can\'t leave the Human Realm, my life would still be a lot better if I can convince him to send me to the Beast Taming Faculty to be trained as a mount, right? That\'s better than being locked here."

Her tone turned bitter as she said, "If I have my peak strength, I can probably assume a humanoid form. I wonder if that boy has a unique preference..."

Meanwhile, Su Yu was muttering to himself after leaving the prison zone. "Six powerful creatures. I won\'t be able to forgive myself if I don\'t scam some blood essence from them. I\'ll act like a fool that is slightly smart at times. Hopefully they will bite the bait. Teacher and the others are reaping great harvest from these creatures. I don\'t need much, but I need to get at least something out of them!"

Su Yu giggled to himself.

They wanted to instigate him? Great! He wanted to instigate them as well! They were willing to offer him blood just for some meat. If he could improve his relationship with them, he might be able to get even more from them.

"But I really don\'t care about regular blood..."

Su Yu rubbed his chin as he sank into thought. Were there cultural researchers among them? He had forgotten to ask them earlier. If he could make them materialize their Divine Characters before crushing the characters, would he be able to strengthen his Divine Characters?

While thinking, Su Yu rubbed his face and flashed a harmless smile. He told himself that he was an honest man who had never lied in his life. He was also broke and greatly lacked money. He needed someone to offer him some money.

Additionally, he was also a weakling. He was a perfect target to be roped in because he needed strength. Yes, they had to try roping him in for him to start profiting off them.

"Hehehe...cough." Su Yu hurriedly interrupted his laugh with a cough. That laugh was too villainous.

"Haha!"

He corrected himself with an honest laugh. He was very happy. He had discovered a treasure trove. There were six experts at the seventh-stage Skysoar Realm and above in that treasure trove. He should be able to get some good stuff from them, right?

Su Yu was pretty happy with his new job as a beastkeeper.

As for the dangers associated with the job, all those creatures were caged. He wasn\'t that worried. It had been so many years. If they could escape, they would have escaped long ago.

Of course, Su Yu still didn\'t dare to do anything rash as he was afraid that something unexpected might happen.

That night, he returned to his hellish training schedule.

...

5th of September. Su Yu started attending classes again.

Character Faculty.

Intermediate class.

Su Yu was handing over his tasks to the new class monitor. In truth, there really wasn\'t much to hand over. He only needed to give the new class monitor the class schedules.

The new class monitor was Wang Yun, the student who had taken second place in the monthly examination.

Su Yu had arrived to perform the handover before the start of the first class. A lot of the intermediate class students were reluctant to part with him. Although they knew that he was going to enter the senior class sooner or later, when it was really happening, they couldn\'t stop feeling sad about it.

When Su Yu saw that everyone was unwilling to part with him, he smiled and said, "It\'s fine. The senior class should be the target of all of us. I doubt anyone wants to stay in the intermediate class for life, right? I\'ll be waiting for you guys in the senior class. I hope I can see you guys again starting next month."

Su Yu looked at everyone and exhaled deeply. "This is a very happy month for me. Thank you everyone for all the help and support. You are all here to cultivate and grow stronger. I love the intermediate class. The environment here is good. But I still hope that all of you can feel more stressed."

Su Yu earnestly said, "The environment of the intermediate class is definitely not as stressful as the senior class. But I hope all of you can face the intermediate class like it is the senior class. I hope that before long, we can become classmates again in the senior class."

"Class Monitor, why don\'t you stay here. We\'ll miss you..." said a schoolgirl.

Su Yu flashed an honest smile and said, "I\'ll miss everyone too. But we\'re still in the same academy. We can still see each other."

But inwardly, he was muttering that all women were indeed obstacles in the path of cultivation. That young lady was actually trying to stop him from joining the senior class!

After a short chat with the students, Su Yu picked up his stuff and walked toward the senior class. Both classes were located in the same building. However, the two classes did not have much interaction with each other. The two classes were situated on different floors and the senior class students did not visit the intermediate class area often.

"A new beginning..."

Su Yu muttered to himself. He was feeling somewhat expectant. Senior class. This was where he belonged. There were more geniuses, more freaks, and more pressure here. This was a place that was truly suitable for him.

Jia Mingzhen, Xia Chan, Wan Mingze, Hu Qiusheng...

Just from his batch alone, there were plenty of students for him to pursue. Furthermore, it was also said that the senior class would attend the same classes as the geniuses and freaks of the previous batches at times.

Su Yu was looking forward to all that. There was really no pressure in the intermediate class. There wasn\'t even a single Mental Tempering Stage or Great Strength student in that class.

It was fine to stay there for a short while, but if he had to stay there for long, he was worried that his fighting spirit would be erased. He still wanted to be an expert. Since his first day in the academy, he had set his eyes on the Top 100 Ranking.
