Chapter 643: A Slap From Afar (3)

After a while.

Su Yu met Qin Zhen inside a teahouse. Qin Zhen was the prefect of Great Qin. Even when he was sitting there silently, he looked ferocious. When Su Yu saw the burly prefect, he was reminded of Xia Longwu.

Their appearances were different, but they shared similar temperaments. Su Yu had never met Xia Longwu in person, but he had seen Xia Longwu on television and in the Sky Sundering Saber willpower text before.

When Qin Zhen saw Su Yu, he ignored Zhu Tiandao and directly said, "A real man should not hesitate when it comes to killing. If you join Great Qin, you will be allowed to kill to your heart's content. What's the point of fighting behind the frontlines? Go to the battlefield and fight the myriad races! That is what a real man should do. There, you can fight anyone you want. Exceptional experts, unrivaled heroes, powerful divines, terrifying devils, beautiful immortal fairies...you can kill any sort of people you want."

Fuck!

When Su Yu heard about immortal fairies, he thought that Qin Zhen was going to claim that he could capture some. But that brute had actually suggested that they should kill them all instead.

Zhu Tiandao rolled his eyes and said, "Creating a new cultivation method is even bigger contribution than killing an enemy Sunmoon."

Qin Zhen thought about it and nodded, "You're right. You can join Great Qin and stay behind the front lines. Our entire prefecture is run by the military. All cultists will be killed. All enemies will be killed. Our prefecture is the safest in the Human Realm. We're even better than Great Ming. Great Xia is comparable to us in the past, but now that Xia Longwu is trying to break through, that is no longer the case."

Su Yu said, "I'm flattered, but I'm happy here." Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

"Fine." Qin Zhen went straight to the point, "Name your price. I want the best version of the fusion art. Don't try to fool me with a trash version.

"I want the Source Soul Cultural Art as well. If you have a better version, I'm buying it too. Also, if you have any other useful cultivation methods, sell them all to me. Just name your price. Don't be shy."

Su Yu said, "There is no rush. I need to ask something first, Prefect Qin. How many acupoints does Great Qin know?"

After saying that, 358 dots of light appeared all over his body.

"Prefect Qin, do you know any acupoints that are not here?"

"..."

Qin Zhen stared at Su Yu for a very long while before saying, "You're aiming to form the grand cycle of acupoints. That's a good goal to have. There was a fellow in Great Qin who once opened 321 acupoints over 27 years. But he had a very hard time fusing his acupoints. After great difficulty, he finally reached the Cloudbreach Realm. But he couldn't fuse all his acupoints to enter the Mountainsea. Last year, he died of old age. Will the same happen to you?"

"Died of old age?" Su Yu blinked.

Qin Zhen replied, "Yes. But he was really quite strong. As a ninth-stage Cloudbreach, he killed several Mountainseas. At the end of his lifespan, we set up a trap. He feigned a breakthrough and lured a Sunmoon out. I was the one who had defeated that Sunmoon, but he was the one who had cut the head off the body. With that, he was able to die without regrets."

Su Yu had a look of yearning as he said, "Yeah. That is indeed a worthy death."

"Hahaha, like I said, that is how a real man should live. Alright, let's get back to the topic. I don't know any other acupoints. I am sure that you have reached the limit of humanity."

Su Yu was regretful. It would seem like he would have to find his missing acupoints somewhere else.

"Great Qin is a nation of soldiers. You are all fighting hard for humanity. Thus, I won't be asking for much from you...

The terms Su Yu gave Great Xia were publicized as well. Those were extremely harsh terms.

Willpower grotto, a million merit points, corpses of divines...

More importantly, he had also demanded an apology from Yuan Qingdong, a Sunmoon.

A public apology. Why? Because Yuan Qingdong had slandered Su Yu by calling Su Yu a traitor. Traitor? What a joke. Which traitor would openly sell all those cultivation methods to their fellow humans? Thus, nobody took Yuan Qingdong seriously.

Asking a Sunmoon to slap his own face and pay Su Yu a million merit points. Many people believed that Yuan Qingdong wouldn't agree. In any case, the ban was placed on the three academies. For him, there was always the option of leaving. It wasn't like he was a local of Great Xia.

Su Yu did not say anything to the public. Nevertheless, rumors still started spreading that as long as Yuan Qingdong remained, the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy would be banned from everything produced by the Source Soul Research Center.

Thus, this was merely the start. According to the rumors, Su Yu was in the process of researching an aperture fusion art. If he succeeded, that would be yet another creation capable of shaking the world. It would be helpful to cultural researchers from the Mental Tempering Stage to the Sunmoon Realm. But because of Yuan Qingdong, the three academies might end up banned from teaching this cultivation method as well.

With Su Yu's track record, a lot of people believed that he would be able to succeed in his research. At that time, the students wouldn't be the only ones suffering from the ban. Rather, cultural researchers of all levels would suffer.

***

Great Xia City, capital of Great Xia.

Inside Yuan Qingdong's villa, a burst of aura erupted, breaking apart all the furniture in the villa. Yuan Qingdong had an unsightly expression. Just a moment ago, someone from Xia Family came and asked if he wanted to apologize and let the matter rest. Otherwise, he might end up sacked from the academy.

It hadn't even been half a month since he took office. If he was sacked so soon, it would be absolute humiliation.

The Xia Family wouldn't kill him. But if the matter escalated, to the point where the benefits of all three academies were threatened, they could easily hold a meeting of elders and vote to kick him out of the academy. And the vote was very likely to go through.

If two-thirds of the elders voted to kick him out, he would have no choice but to leave. This was a power the elders enjoyed. It was very obvious that if he couldn't solve this issue, he would become the very first Sunmoon in history to be fired from the position of vice principal.

"Su Yu!"

He had thought that nothing bad would happen since Su Yu was no longer around. But Su Yu had actually unleashed such a powerful slap toward him from afar. He finally understood why Yu Hong and the others had been defeated so miserably by that kid. While Yuan Qingdong was thinking with a frown, his voice transmission talisman shook.

"The Knowledge Seeking Realm can't do anything. Zhu Tiandao is applying pressure to the Knowledge Seeking Realm. The sky devouring ants are starting to appear within the Knowledge Seeking Realm. Zhu Tiandao's eldest son is already in the Knowledge Seeking Realm. He had knocked on the Dragonrise Drum, calling for a trial. Great Han King will be leaving seclusion soon. You need to calm things down as soon as possible. Prioritize calming things down at Great Xia."

Hmph!

That wasn't what they said when they first sent him here. Damn those bastards. Didn't they promise to take care of everything?

Bastards!

They weren't the ones suffering this humiliation, so they naturally didn't care about the apology he had to give.

Yuan Qingdong was furious. How was it his fault that Su Yu was refusing to sell his cultivation methods to the three academies? He was merely a scapegoat. As far as Yuan Qingdong was concerned, even without him here, Su Yu might still place the ban on the academies. Damn those people for making him the scapegoat!
