Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 665: 180 Apertures, Furball Advances (4)

The 40th level was a level only freak Skysoars capable of battling Cloudbreaches could clear. Su Yu didn\'t know if any Cloudbreaches had attempted to reset this level before. even if there were, it might not be as helpful to them.

After all, apertures were much harder to open at the Cloudbreach in comparison with the Skysoar Realm. The higher one\'s cultivation level, the harder it would be for one to open apertures. Thus, it would be quite pointless for those with high cultivation to reset this level. On the other hand, he would benefit a lot from resetting this level.

"Perhaps I can even solve the furball\'s issue with advancement here."

That was Su Yu\'s plan. The 40th level was basically a Cloudbreach level. If he could squeze more willpower out of the pagoda, perhaps he could gather enough to help the furball advance. But that would only happen after he was done opening his apertures. At the moment, he had opened 130 apertures. He only lacked 50 to reach his goal.

Even if he could only open five per hour and the difficulty would increase at the end, he would probably take around ten hours to open all his apertures. That would take him three rounds. Would anything happen after three rounds? After that, he would be able to start gathering willpower for the little furball.

In the blink of an eye, four hours passed. At this point, Su Yu had reached 150 apertures. He was truly opening his apertures at an astonishing speed.

Outside.

Elder Yun\'s face was twitching.

Shit! Just how much willpower had the kid absorbed?

The Hundred Dao Pagoda had even dimmed slightly. That did not make any sense. This pagoda could even sustain the absorption of a Sunmoon for a very long time. Su Yu was only a Mental Tempering Stage. Just how much could he absorb?

Five hours...six hours...

Slowly, Elder Yun\'s expression changed. Damn it! Not even Cloudbreaches could absorb as much as Su Yu. It almost felt like there was a Mountainsea inside the pagoda.

At the eighth hour.

The third round should be starting soon, right? Why was the kid still in there? The second Cloudbreach beast should be appearing right about now, right? Not even that was enough to defeat the kid?

Night had arrived yet again. The second bonfire party had begun.

Zhu Hongliang and the others were there. All of them were greatly astonished. "Is he a god? He has been inside for over 30 hours. Why is he still resetting the 40th level? I thought that\'s a Cloudbreach level? Did that fellow break through inside the pagoda?"

He guessed that Su Yu had broken through while climbing the pagoda. That was most definitely the case. That would explain everything.

Su Yu was already a massive genius. After breaking through into the Skysoar Realm, it wasn\'t surprising that he could face early Cloudbreaches in combat.

There weren\'t a lot of names on the 40th level. Thus, Su Yu\'s name kept appearing and disappearing. Everyone had expected him to last around three or four rounds, but they were all proven wrong.

Before anyone knew it, it was the 14th of February.

It had been 20 hours since Su Yu entered the 40th level. At this time, Niu Baidao arrived with a few other people. All of them had odd looks in their eyes. Damn it! Just what was Su Yu doing in there?

Since he had stayed on the same level for twenty hours, he had probably gone through six rounds. He should be facing three Cloudbreach beasts right about now. How could the kid still hold on? After a while, the 24th hour passed. Now, the fourth beast would appear. And the kid was still in the pagoda. What the hell was the kid doing? Did he even need so much willpower?

Inside the Hundred Dao Pagoda.

Su Yu shouted, "Furball, keep one of them busy!"

He was facing four white civets.

His entire body was drenched with blood while the air around him was filled with willpower of terrifyingly high density. Su Yu had stopped absorbing the willpower a while ago. He was planning to help the little furball advance.

And the little furball was aware of that. Thus, he was working very hard. He did as told and engaged one of the white civets in battle.

The other three civets were moving at an astonishing speed. With a flash, yet another wound was left on Su Yu\'s body. But the moment the attack hit, a burst of source qi erupted and blasted the civet away.

The hammer had also grown incomparably strong. Su Yu had opened all 180 of his apertures. But he had yet to link them together. He had only linked the apertures from three of the five arts together. Even so, he was already terrifyingly strong.

The character technique appeared. His cultural weapon was on the verge of breaking apart as it was no longer strong enough to withstand the power of the character technique. With a pop, it streaked forth and skewered one of the white civets.

"You\'re asking for it!"

Su Yu gnashed his teeth and started linking his apertures with those from the fourth art. All 144 of the linked apertures shone brightly as they started operating in accordance with the new circulation path.

Once again, Su Yu received a great boost in strength. He was on the verge of losing control and making his breakthrough into the Skysoar Realm then and there. His willpower had grown too powerful. But he was unwilling to break through just like this. He wanted to wait. He wanted to try forging his body before doing so.

The effect would be even better if he could pick a body forging art in advance and use it during his breakthrough. To do that, he would need to push both his body and willpower into the Skysoar Realm at the same time.

He also needed some time to gather the required heavenly source qi. As for his characters...he wasn\'t too worried.

For now, eleven characters were barely enough for him. With the disassembly method, he could simply advance with a reorganized character technique. Even with only eleven characters, he could probably reach the third-stage Skysoar Realm right after breaking through.

If he could manage such a breakthrough, he would grow astonishingly powerful. At that thought, he circulated both his source qi and willpower and hammered all the nearby white civets to death.

Not far away, the little furball was constantly screaming as he streaked everywhere in an unpredictable manner. Then, a crack rang out as he crushed one of the characters of his opponent. In real life, white civets were cultural researchers. The illusions here were naturally simulating that as well.

In the blink of an eye, three of the four white civets were dead. As for the last civet, it was running out of energy after being fed on by the little furball. Seeing that there was only one civet left, Su Yu exhaled in relief.

Success!

But right after, his face changed as he cursed.

"Shitty furball, why didn\'t you capture the fragments?"

Well, he was probably screwed now. Without the fragments, he couldn\'t reset the level anymore. He would have to leave after the round was over. Well, that was probably acceptable. He wasn\'t sure if he could face five civets during the next round.

The final white civet was killed in no time. A short moment later, more willpower appeared in the room.

Su Yu looked at the little furball. The little furball was blinking innocently as he returned the gaze. Clenching his teeth, Su Yu said, "If you fail to break through even after this, I won\'t spare you!"

There was so much willpower here. Even Su Yu himself was greatly tempted to absorb all of them for himself. This little furball was going to benefit from all his hard work.

"No run. Eat yummy!"

The little furball hurriedly replied.

Su Yu snorted. Eat his ass. He only cared about advancement. He then released his fire character, brightening their surroundings with its radiance. The little furball stared at the fire character hungry. That looked so yummy!

"Come, have a bite. Remember to leave some behind for me to regrow it. After you\'re done, you will need to pay with your labor and help me with the pagoda."

Right after that, the little furball shot forth. When Su Yu saw that, he cursed, "Damn it! Spit some of it out! I only need a tiny bit so that I can regrow the thing!"

Fuck! The damn furball had swallowed the whole thing!

For the little furball, a second-tier character was too easy to swallow. Since Su Yu wasn\'t actively trying to stop him, he was able to swallow it before Su Yu could react. For the very first time, Su Yu came to understand the grief his previous opponents had felt when he unleashed the furball upon them. Right after releasing their character to fight, the character would be gone like it had never existed. Nobody could remain calm in such a situation.

With great hesitation, the little furball spat out a tiny piece of the character. Su Yu felt greatly troubled. Just how long would he need to repair this character? This wouldn\'t do. He needed to keep challenging the pagoda.

At the very least, he had to do enough to repair this character. This was unacceptable. He had to milk this pagoda dry!

Suddenly, the little furball\'s body ignited, looking like he was being burned alive.

"Yummy..." The little furball started crying for help, "I think I ate something wrong..."

"Eat!"

Su Yu ordered. There was so much willpower around them. All these were prepared for the little furball.

The little furball better eat everything here and break through obediently.

Otherwise, he would have fought so long for nothing. Just look at all the wounds on his body. That was all for the little furball\'s sake. With the command, the little furball started absorbing the willpower in the air. Instantly, the area was emptied of willpower.

"Smash me..."

Su Yu understood what the furball was trying to say. The hammer appeared and slammed down onto the little furball.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Again and again, the hammer struck the furball.

Outside, Niu Baidao was already greatly shocked.

Fuck! The kid was able to survive even four Cloudbreach beasts? Just what kind of a monster was that kid? Also, a large amount of willpower had just been instantly absorbed. The entire pagoda had dimmed again.

Both Su Yu and the little furball combined had actually absorbed as much willpower as what a single Sunmoon could absorb. At the very least, a Sunmoon would leave after having their fill. But Su Yu was a bottomless abyss. It was as though no amount of willpower could satisfy him.

"This is a great loss!"

Niu Baidao was feeling very gloomy. Elder Yun was also having a headache, "He\'s absorbing as much as a fresh Sunmoon. The kid is at the Mental Tempering Stage? What will happen when he reaches the Skysoar and Cloudbreach Realms? Should we ban him from the pagoda after this?"

Niu Baidao did not say anything. He did not believe that Su Yu alone had absorbed so much willpower. Was it that little thing? That damn Su Yu sure was not holding back on him. He was basically treating the Hundred Dao Pagoda as a free buffet.

But at the same time, Niu Baidao couldn\'t help feeling curious. How many apertures had Su Yu opened? Had he reached the Skysoar Realm? Could he still suppress his breakthrough? That kid would be extremely terrifying after entering the Skysoar Realm.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was too busy to care about anything else. He was busy hammering the little furball. The dizzy furball was currently shining brightly, looking like he was really going to break through. One ought to know that this little fellow had absorbed even more willpower and character intent than Su Yu.

If not even this was enough to help the furball advance, he wouldn\'t be able to afford to raise the furball anymore.
