Chapter 623: City of Wisdom (1)

16th of January.

The multiple character faction was holding a meeting in the morning. It also served as a faculty meeting since there weren't that many people in the faction anyway. Including Su Yu and Wu Lan, 57 people would be there.

The Multiple Character Faculty wasn't small. There were a lot of buildings in the faculty, and the meeting was held in the Character Technique Hall. When Su Yu and Wu Lan arrived, they almost thought that they were at the wrong place.

The Character Technique Hall was furnished with chairs and tables. And on the tables were an assortment of snacks. The smell of liquor could be smelled from even outside the building.

And when they entered the room, they were faced with a scene of people eating snacks, gossiping with each other, playing with their pet birds and dogs, and so on. There were only a few dozen people in the room, but they were making as much noise as a hundred people.

Some of the people were even reciting poetry in the room. When one of them noticed Su Yu and Wu Lan's arrival, the student started reciting while swaying his head with a dreamy look, "Two new arrivals, two heads and four arms, never seen before, upon closer look, an astonishing bearing revealed..."

Su Yu said nothing and ignored the student as he walked into the room. The people here truly had too much free time on their hands.

Not far away, Huang Feng was in the middle of a conversation with a few other people. When she saw Su Yu, she beckoned at him, "Su Yu, come take a sit over here. Only students sit over there."

Could Su Yu still be considered a student? Nope. He was already a junior researcher.

Su Yu turned to look at Wu Lan. Before he could speak, she said, "Just go. I'll get to know the students here and see if there are any geniuses. But if they're all garbage, forget it."

Her voice was quite loud. But this was how she had always been. She knew no fear. She was willing to engage with students she considered geniuses, but she would completely ignore those she deemed weak.

Of course, she also had a habit of ignoring those who were better than her unless there was a chance for her to catch up to them as it felt embarassing to be in the midst of those better than her.

Su Yu smiled and nodded before walking away. A lot of students started whispering among themselves as they stared at him.

"Is that Su Yu?"

"He looks quite scholarly. Why did he kill so many people?"

"He's ferocious. Watch out, everyone."

"I heard he specializes in killing geniuses. He will kill any genius he sees. We're all geniuses so we need to be careful."

"..."

Su Yu decided to ignore them. The people of Great Ming talked way too much.

There was a large table in the teacher's area. Including Huang Feng, ten people were seated around it. There were supposed to be four Cloudbreaches and eight Skysoars in the multiple character faction, but two were missing here.

Including the faculty head, these people were all the qualified teachers of the multiple character faction.

Huang Feng grinned and said, "Su Yu, let me make the introductions."

Su Yu inhaled deeply and said, "You're right, Senior Brother Wen. I base my Acupoint Fusion Art on many other cultivation methods. Rather than creating, I have merely gathered all these cultivation methods together."

Wen Zhong smiled and said, "Do not be unduly humble. Does the human race not know about the existence of those acupoints and cultivation methods? That's not the case. But why has nobody ever produced something like that? Each acupoint has its unique function. It is up to every single one of us to discover the role of each acupoint. With different circulation pathways, you can create different cultivation methods from the same acupoints. Just because two cultivation methods utilize the same acupoints does not mean that one is the copy of the other, right?"

Huang Feng smiled and said, "Senior Brother Wen, you're straying from the topic."

Wen Zhong smiled and said, "I heard that your initial goal when establishing the Source Soul Research Center was to research the source soul acupoint, right?"

Su Yu nodded.

Wen Zhong said, "In that case, you can talk to me when you have the time. I have also been researching this subject in recent years. You know about Bai Tianhao, right?"

"Yeah. He's an ancestor of my teacher."

"Right, Bai Feng..."

Wen Zhong laughed and said, "Bai Feng is a genius as well. Back then, I wanted to take him as my student. But I wasn't good enough for him. Instead, he yearned for the fifth principal's academy. He wanted to walk a different path..."

"Senior Brother Chen, why are you guys addressing him as the fifth principal as well?"

Noticing the look of astonishment on Su Yu's face, Wen Zhong explained, "The entire multiple character faction of the Human Realm is akin to a single family. And the multiple character faction originated from Great Xia. The first principal founded the faction, the third principal developed and promoted the faction, and the fifth principal led it to a golden era. Strictly speaking, for those in the multiple character faction, the fifth principal can be considered the third principal.

"Since you know who Bai Tianhao is, this will be easier for me to explain. Prior to his death, he had released a powerful strength and killed a seventh-stage Mountainsea as a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. I have been researching this for many years..."

He paused slightly to think before continuing, "I have been very curious about one thing. According to your theory, the source soul acupoint is the node connecting acupoints and apertures. But Bai Tianhao was a warrior."

Hearing that, Su Yu frowned. Wen Zhong said, "Before you proposed your theory, the name source soul acupoint did not exist. I used to name this acupoint the full cycle acupoint."

Su Yu's eyes flickered as he said, "You mean that after opening 360 acupoints, you will form a full cycle instead of a so-called source soul acupoint?"

"Yes."

Wen Zhong said, "But your theory makes sense as well. Also, Bai Tianhao had not opened 360 acupoints back then. Perhaps he had opened 180 acupoints and created his own full cycle acupoint instead? Or was it 270 acupoints?"

"..."

The two started talking rapidly one after another. The others weren't even able to take part in the conversation.

At this time, a middle-aged man sent a voice transmission to Huang Feng, "Senior Sister, the kid is actually able to engage Senior Brother Wen in such a complicated topic. Is the kid a real deal?"

Huang Feng said, "Definitely. Just listen to what they are talking about. I don't know about anything else, but his understanding of acupoints is far higher than the two of us. And he has also opened numerous acupoints himself. I can see that he has opened at least 320 acupoints. Someone like him is actually a practical researcher while people like us are merely academic researchers."

"Also, from how easily the kid is mentioning all sorts of cultivation methods, he must have studied at least a lot of cultivation methods."

Huang Feng clearly approved of Su Yu. She didn't know how good he was in other topics, but at the very least, he was an expert in physical cultivation. And for a cultural researcher, it was good enough if one could specialize in a single topic. Not everyone could achieve perfection in multiple topics. One should not forget that Su Yu was still so young.
