Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 333: Rules Are Good To Have (2)

While Su Yu was losing matches repeatedly.

Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

A few single character factions had arrived, but they had been stopped from entering.

Outside the building.

A Cloudbreach expert asked anxiously, "Where is Faculty Head Zhou? Please pass a message to Faculty Head Zhou that something big has happened!"

The guard frowned and said, "The elders are in the middle of a grade three strategic meeting. Unless this is a matter of life and death, nobody is allowed to interrupt a meeting of this level."

The researcher said, "This is urgent! Very urgent! If you\'re unwilling to pass the message, I\'ll start shouting out here instead!"

"Impudent!" The commander berated, "This is the Heart Cultivating Pavilion. How dare you make a scene here? The elders are in an important meeting. Are you deaf?"

The researchers got more and more anxious.

Finally, one of them clenched his teeth and slammed his own palm into his chest. After coughing a mouthful of blood, "This is now a matter of life and death. Please pass a message to the faculty head."

"You!"

The commander\'s expression changed. What a ruthless person. The researcher had attacked himself hard enough to seriously injure himself.

"Do you want me to die here?" The researcher furiously said, "Can you shoulder the consequences of my death?"

He hit himself with another palm attack.

Hiss!

More blood spurted out of his mouth. The other single character faction experts watched on with grief. Damn it! The timing of this meeting was too coincidental. There must be a conspiracy here. All their Mountainsea cultivators were not around right when Su Yu was pulling that stunt of his.

Without the elders, people like them had no way of stopping Su Yu. Furthermore, their elders were not the only ones away for this meeting. All the academy elders were in this meeting. Otherwise, the elders of some other faction would have probably stopped the mess before it spread any further.

Alas, all the elders had been called to the meeting. The so-called strategic meeting. A strategic meeting was one that couldn\'t be interrupted. Anyone attempting to enter the building during the meeting would be suspected of espionage and subjected to harsh punishments.

Seeing that the researcher was really not holding back, the commander hesitated slightly before saying, "Enough! I will report this to the principal. You will bear the consequences for this!"

He turned around and entered the building. He had no choice but to report this incident. Otherwise, having a Cloudbreach cultivator dying right in front of his face would also bring him a lot of trouble.

Within the massive meeting room.

The room was silent.

In order to let everyone focus on the meeting, Elder Qi had activated a soundproof barrier around the room.

At that moment, Zhou Mingren was frowning. He looked outside. The window was open, but he couldn\'t figure out what was happening. He couldn\'t hear anything, but he could see a lot of people moving hastily.

Was everyone there to enjoy the show? He knew that Su Yu was in the process of accepting challenges today. Were all those people going there to watch the show? There were so many of them. For some reason, Zhou Mingren was feeling a sense of unease.

Wan Tiansheng had noticed the rapidly moving crowd even earlier. He had his eyes shut as he feigned calmness, but inwardly, he was rather alarmed. Just what were those people trying to do? He opened his eyes and glanced at Elder Qi. Weird. This fellow was not from the multiple character faction. What was wrong with him today? Why was he moving against Zhou Mingren?

"Has the Xia Family gotten involved?"

Wan Tiansheng had a guess. This elder seemed rather close to that fatty. Had that fatty involved himself? That would be troublesome. Was that damn fatty trying to take advantage of this conflict to earn some benefits from the academy?

Even if the single character faction had to suffer some losses, Wan Tiansheng was unwilling to see that fatty be the one to benefit from their losses. While rapping his fingers on the desk, he glanced at Zhou Mingren.

Zhou Mingren was frowning. When Wan Tiansheng noticed that, his heart thumped. Was he...capable of stepping into the Sunmoon Realm? Crisis sense...Zhou Mingren seemed to have developed a partial crisis sense. But only actual Sunmoon cultivators would possess proper crisis sense.

He did not say anything but numerous thoughts rose in his mind. Multiple character faction...those fellows had yet to return but Su Yu alone was already starting to create a massive storm.

"Su Yu...Cloudbreach?"

He recalled the scene he saw when he glimpsed at the future. That scene was unclear. Was Su Yu a Cloudbreach cultivator in that scene? How many years in the future did that scene come from? Thirty? Or twenty years?

He was unsure. He only knew that the kid would eventually reach the Cloudbreach Realm. And the kid would become an exceptionally powerful Cloudbreach. Using a human character as the main Divine Character, he was able to battle Mountainsea cultivators as a Cloudbreach.

Wan Tiansheng rubbed his head. The scene involving Su Yu was merely a tiny portion of what he saw. He only noticed Su Yu because the sight of a Cloudbreach battling a Mountainsea was simply too stunning. Every single genius of the multiple character faction was shockingly talented.

But Wan Tiansheng did not know the exact point in time where all those events he had seen would happen. Furthermore, his focus was not on the Cloudbreach and Mountainsea cultivators. He was mostly focused on the Sunmoon and Eternal cultivators.

While he was deep in thought, Elder Qi said, "Principal, stop daydreaming."

That pulled Wan Tiansheng out of his thoughts.

Elder Qi complained, "Principal, do you disagree with my opinion?"

Wan Tiansheng was speechless. He said, "No. I was just thinking about it. You were saying that when divines and devils use their own characters, they are able to display more strength than humans using the same characters, right? You are suggesting that perhaps the characters of the powerful races have been cursed from the very beginning."

"Exactly." Elder Qi seriously said, "I suspect that the inability of cultural researchers to enter the Eternal Realm is not an issue that has only started 50 years ago. Instead, it has been that way since a long time ago. The divines and devils have long placed a curse on us through cultural invasion. I even suspect that the curse has perhaps been placed on human characters instead of their characters.

"I believe they have cursed our characters, making us believe that human characters are innately weaker. Because of that, we have to cultivate their characters, but as humans, we have not been able to enter the Eternal Realm by cultivating their characters."

Wan Tiansheng had a pensive look. This argument actually made some sense. He said, "You might be right. Human characters...The human race is also a powerful race. Why are our characters weaker than even the characters of some minor races? But it won\'t be easy for us to verify this claim. We also need the help of the Knowledge Seeking Realm..."

Elder Qi nodded, "That was why I gathered everyone here today. I wanted to talk about this. Also, our previous plan to have some people focus on human characters might need to be put on hold. Or at the very least, we need to slow down that process. We need to first ensure that there are no issues with human characters—"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. The door was knocked in a tempo that indicated that there was something urgent to report.

Elder Qi frowned and berated, "What is it? Who\'s messing around when we\'re having an important meeting?"

He looked outside the window. The world was not ending. What was so urgent that had to be reported immediately?

Wan Tiansheng glanced at Elder Qi before saying, "Since it\'s something urgent, let\'s listen to the report first."

The door swung open.

The commander hurriedly said, "Reporting to the principal and elders, a few researchers are trying to intrude into the building. When I stopped them from entering, they started harming themselves as a threat. One of them is already seriously injured..."

The elders all sent their willpower out. The expressions of Zhou Mingren and a few others changed as they instantly vanished into thin air.

Not far away, Wu Yuehua sneered, "These people are getting more and more unruly nowadays."

She then left as well. The expressions of one elder after another changed. One of them even started sending his willpower further away, but his willpower was obstructed upon reaching the challenge ring area.

The elder\'s expression changed as he withdrew his willpower and remained silent. Inwardly, he already had a guess of what was happening. Something must have happened in the challenge ring.

Has yet another single character faction genius been crippled by Su Yu? Was that Su Yu...really so ferocious? As a new student, he had crippled several single character faction geniuses. That was...actually quite impressive!

The elders remained calm. They weren\'t too worried. They were sure that nothing major had happened or the alarms would have started blazing already. The academy guards were no pushovers.

If something major was really happening, they would be able to at least notify the elders. There wouldn\'t be a need for the single character faction members to be the ones making the report instead. This matter was clearly something related to the single character faction.

The elders indifferently swaggered out of the building. Since the meeting had been interrupted, they might as well go out and enjoy the show. Only the elders from the single character faction appeared nervous. The other elders were completely indifferent. During challenges between students, injuries were normal. The worst that could happen was suffering from serious injuries like Huang Qifeng. With a referee around, nobody would die.

Near the challenge ring.

Jia Mingzhen and company were all present.

Jia Mingzhen was clicking his tongue in wonder, "What an incredible kid. What an expert schemer. Just look at this. If those fellows had left slightly later, they would have been caught by the guards as well. In that scenario, the single character faction would still be clueless."

Yes. The single character faction experts had all been arrested not long after a few of them left to notify the elders. The guards were at a loss. The crowd was too big. They could only maintain order and do nothing else. As for the single character faction members they had arrested, those people had all been taken away. Those people were probably going to be locked up until this matter was resolved.

There were still some single character faction members left, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn\'t meddle in the challenges. And they couldn\'t chase the students away either.
