Chapter 683: The Curtain Rises (1)

After the talk, Su Yu found himself in agreement with the two. He couldn't stay defensive forever. Instead, he should break their claws and scare them so much that they would not dare to try anything in the future. Of course, there was also the possibility that an Invincible would personally go after him next time.

All three of them were aware of that possibility. But it didn't matter. Any attempt by a myriad race Invincible to enter the Human Realm would trigger a massive battle. The numerous Invincibles of humanity were not to be trifled with. They would not stay idle when the enemies were right in front of their house.

Su Yu was in a good mood. But he was also worried about the excuse he should use for the endless heavenly source qi he could take out in the future. Was he supposed to say that he had actually hidden some of the heavenly source qi he found in the dragon's horn case?

After the talk, Su Yu left the building. Not far away, the three beasts were conversing with Xu Bin. Su Yu walked over and noted that Xu Bin had assumed the appearance of a man. He didn't have much interest in Xu Bin.

But he was quite interested in Xu Bin's characters. The character that could steal undetected and the character that could transform one's appearance seemed rather useful.

"Researcher Su..."

Xu Bin greeted politely. Su Yu glanced at him and calmly said, "Only villains smile like that."

"..."

Not far away, the smiling Niu Baidao and Zhu Tiandao froze. Was that what the kid really believed? In that case, what was the kid thinking whenever they smiled at him?

Su Yu did not care about what Xu Bin thought of him. Since Xu Bin was now a prisoner, he was unable to earn Su Yu's respect even if he was a Mountainsea. Not to mention that Su Yu had heard that this person was here for him as well.

"Where did you receive the mission to steal from me?"

"The Travelling Merchants Association received the mission from the issuer..."

Su Yu nodded and asked, "Are you able to issue missions as well? Issue a mission to the cult and say that my Source Soul Research Center has produced yet another shocking result. Say that the news has been covered up. Offer a high reward for the theft of my new research result. Feel free to offer 500,000 or even 1,000,000 merit points as the reward."

Xu Bin looked at Su Yu in astonishment. Was Su Yu not afraid of getting himself killed because of that? The offer was too high.

"Is this possible?"

Xu Bin carefully answered, "Yes. But at that price, it might attract even Sunmoons..."

"Good." Su Yu smiled, "It would be even better if we can attract all the Sunmoons here. By the way, how's your credibility in the cult?"

They had to do this without arousing any suspicion.

Xu Bin said, "I have a small fame in the cult. But I'm not a cultist. I am merely an intermediary, helping them obtain or dispose of things that can't be moved around easily..."

Su Yu nodded, "I understand. The cultists are in charge of killing and robbing while you're in charge of dealing with the loot. I've heard of people like you before. Truthfully, all of you deserve death. Without people like you, the number of murders committed by them will reduce significantly since they won't move without benefits. Do you think that you're not a bad person just because you don't kill?"

He made it very clear that they were merely making use of each other. He never hoped that the three would truly view him as their master. And they should also accept that he would never truly trust them. None of the three said anything.

Next, Su Yu left the island on the old turtle's back. While they were on the way to the other side of the lake, the old turtle asked, "Kid, you asked for my blood essence previously. Do you still want it?"

"Your blood essence is too strong, Senior. Thank you for the offer, but I don't need it for now."

Su Yu rejected the offer. That was not something he could use for now. Perhaps he could consider using it after forging his body to a certain level. But he was quite surprised that the old turtle was actually offering blood essence to him.

Hearing the refusal, the old turtle said nothing else. He wouldn't force the issue if Su Yu was uninterested. Before long, they reached the other side. The three beasts were also following Su Yu back to his research center. However, the matter was kept secret from the public.

Great Ming.

Tiandu. The capital of Gossips.

22nd of February.

Early in the morning, a rumor started spreading.

"Have you heard of someone called Su Yu? He's going to advance to the Skysoar Realm through physical cultivation. I heard he's going to showcase his 360 acupoints to the public."

"360 acupoints? That's crazy."

"Are you stupid? He's now showcasing his acupoints. He's promoting the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art. I heard that after cultivating this art, you can open your acupoints rapidly. You can cultivate heaven-grade cultivation methods at the speed of profound-grade cultivation methods."

"Holy shit. That's incredible. Won't the warriors grow stronger and stronger in the future?"

"The warriors are going to love this. Is the status of cultural researchers going to drop after this?"

"Nonsense. This art is the creation of a cultural researcher. Without cultural researchers, how can the warriors get these amazing arts? In the end, cultural researchers are still better. Just look at Su Yu. How many cultivation methods has he released recently?"

"Is that Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art really so amazing? Opening acupoints easily? He's promoting it with such a big fanfare. It must not be easy to cultivate."

"He opened hundreds of acupoints in less than a year. What do you think? I reckon this cultivation method won't be cheap. You should start saving money and buy a copy. Even if you don't need it yourself, you can keep it for your child and grandchild, right?"

Everyone was talking about this topic. Su Yu was going to promote his Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art. The Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art did not require too many acupoints and was considered a supplementary cultivation method. Thus, Su Yu had not bothered promoting it.

As for the Source Soul Cultural Art, it was something for cultural researchers. He had not bothered promoting it either.

But this time, it was clear that he wanted to replace the other popular foundation cultivation methods on the market. He was even aiming to turn this new cultivation method into the next mainstream cultivation method. This was a major event concerning the future of all human warriors. Thus, the rumors were spreading crazily.
