Chapter 517: Completed Cultivation Method (1)

Mental Tempering Garden.

Su Yu did not bother trying to hide his whereabouts. While the sky was still bright, he went straight to Zhou Hao's residence.

On the way, he met some familiar students and exchanged some simple greetings with them. He was still as friendly as ever, acting as though the recent rumors had not affected him at all.

When some people noticed Su Yu knocking on Zhou Hao's door, they grew suspicious. Had these two joined hands? They had cooperated not long ago. These two had probably reached an agreement before the tournament for the slots. After all, they wouldn't have worked so well together during the fight against Zhan Hai.

They had fought each other in a bitter match during their first match. But they were able to join hands right after that? These two were truly hard to understand.

...

The others had no idea what Su Yu was thinking, nor would he try to explain himself to everyone. They could think what they want.

As for Zhou Hao, he was even less concerned about the thoughts of others. When he opened the door and saw Su Yu, he frowned.

He took a step backward and sniffed at the air for a bit before saying, "You killed someone."

Su Yu raised his brow. Was this person a dog or something?

"No. I didn't. I only got some blood splashed on me recently."

How many days had it been? How was this fellow still able to sense it? His senses were way too sensitive. Zhou Hao did not argue. Since Su Yu was denying it, so be it.

"Do you have a business here?"

"Yeah."

Zhou Hao said nothing and walked back into the building. Su Yu followed inside. He didn't really care if anyone saw him entering Zhou Hao's residence.

"Would your teacher punish you for seeing me? He will probably find out since we're doing it so openly."

Zhou Hao sat down and gazed at Su Yu before nonchalantly saying, "My teacher is a lot more tolerant than you think."

"I find that hard to believe."

Zhou Hao did not bother saying more. If Su Yu refused to believe him, so be it. Xia Yuwen and Su Yu were enemies. It was normal for Su Yu to view Xia Yuwen as a terrible person. But Zhou Hao personally thought that Xia Yuwen was a decent person. They both had different points of view so he was not interested in changing Su Yu's mind.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Hao was quite speechless to see Su Yu sitting down before pouring himself a cup of tea. They weren't that close. And this wasn't his home. Had he forgotten?

After pouring himself a cup of tea, Su Yu wasted no time and said, "Do you want to become a warrior or a cultural researcher?"

"It doesn't matter. I only need strength."

That was Zhou Hao's answer.

Su Yu nodded, "Which of the two paths do you think can help you grow rapidly?"

"The path of warriors."

If he gained the ability to fuse his acupoints, he would be able to speedily increase his strength and enter the Infinite Strength Realm. If he could make his advancement with the powerful Thousand Mountain Art, he would be stronger than even those cultivating heaven-grade cultivation methods.

...

Before long, the two walked out of the building together. They encountered others on their way, but Zhou Hao did not care. He followed silently behind Su Yu.

Su Yu himself was not too bothered as he joked, "Your teacher is probably already aware of this by now. Maybe he's plotting your death right this moment."

Zhou Hao stayed silent.

"Boring. Whatever. What's your teacher's communicator number?"

"Why?"

"Just give me the number. Am I supposed to kill him through a communicator or something?"

"..."

Zhou Hao had nothing to say. He gave the number. Su Yu took out his communicator and called the number.

An overcast voice answered, "Who is this?"

"Hello, Teacher. I'm Su Yu."

"..."

After a short pause, Xia Yuwen asked, "Yes?"

"The Source Soul Research Center has developed a cultivation method capable of assisting with acupoint fusion. We might even be able to allow those cultivating the Thousand Mountain Art to fuse their acupoints. I am planning to test this out on Zhou Hao. But before I start, you need to pay us 5,000 merit points to cover a part of the expenses for the test. Additionally, Zhou Hao will not be allowed to teach anyone what he learns from us. I need your agreement."

Xia Yuwen snorted coldly, "You have a big appetite."

Su Yu said, "Teacher, it's really not that big. If Zhou Hao really manages to enter the Infinite Strength Realm with the Thousand Mountain Art, you know how strong he can be. At the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm, the current top 100 students, such as Di Feng, would be nothing before him. Zhou Hao would be able to kill someone like that with two or three punches."

"Consider this as well. Your current reputation is quite bad for holding back your own student. An expert cultivator wishing to be the next prefect is so selfish that he doesn't even care about his own student. Do you really think that you can gain the support from the people of Great Xia?

"Teacher, look further. Even if you're an Invincible, that alone wouldn't be enough for you to gain followers. No matter how strong you are, there are plenty of Invincibles around. Why should I follow you? If you really manage to become the prefect, I can simply leave Great Xia. A talented individual will be welcomed everywhere. That is what many people think. Are you going to kill all the talented individuals who are refusing to bow? Can even Invincibles do as they wish?

"Currently, your student is stuck at the Great Strength Realm. He might even be forced to seek his advancement with the War God Art. That is a waste of time and will also reduce his strength and potential. Teacher, for 5,000 merit points, you will get an expert who can fight many battles for you in the future. Is this not worth the investment?"

"..."

Xia Yuwen stayed silent for a while. Finally, he said, "If he really manages to break through, I'll pay you."

"Teacher, if you pay now, you only need to pay 5,000 merit points. If you want to wait until the breakthrough is complete, the price will increase to 10,000 merit points since you won't be taking any risks. Make your choice."

"Of course, you can also choose to not pay. Zhou Hao is a very good test subject. If you don't pay, I'll still work with him. But if you pay, you will gain the reputation of a teacher willing to solve his student's problem. If you refuse to pay, I will get the full credit. I'll become Brother Zhou's family. If he ends up beating you to death in the future, I hope you won't blame him."

"..."

Hearing that, Zhou Hao looked at Su Yu gloomily. But he still refused to talk.
