Chapter 732: Shan Xiong (1)

Even after soliciting Xu Bin's help, Su Yu still wasn't satisfied.

He was quite worried about that unreliable teacher of his. Teacher Bai was both weak and proud. When encountering danger, he might really do something dumb like facing the danger head-on.

That wouldn't do!

After sending Xu Bin away, Su Yu went looking for Hu Xiansheng.

***

"You're telling me to go be a guard?" Hu Xiansheng gnashed his teeth and complained, "I'm an old man. Xia Yunji is probably stronger than me. I'm also from the multiple character faction. Why are you sending me on such a dangerous mission?"

He gazed at Su Yu grudgingly. Was the kid not worried that he would die as well?

Su Yu smiled, "Aren't you a spatial expert? I've been meaning to ask this. Can you take someone else when you move through space?"

A smile formed on Hu Xiansheng's face as he said, "About that...I can. According to the principles of spatial movement, if the person I'm taking isn't stronger than me, it will be fine. But someone with a weak physical body might end up sliced apart by space."

Su Yu asked, "Is the body of a Skysoar strong enough?"

"Do you think a Skysoar is very strong?"

Hu Xiansheng replied with a question. Strong his ass!

Su Yu thought about it and said, "If there is really no choice, it is fine to abandon the body. At worst, he only needs to restart his physical cultivation. I only need his sea of willpower intact. Is that possible?"

"Theoretically, yes. But anything can happen." Looking at Su Yu's hopeful eyes, Hu Xiansheng helplessly said, "Kid, your teacher's life is precious. But my life is precious as well. Someone capable of defeating even Xia Yunji and his group is definitely a Sunmoon. How can I deal with someone like that?"

After a short pause, he continued, "I think you're worrying over nothing. Great Xia won't stay idle. They are probably fishing again. This whole thing might be a waste of effort."

Su Yu inhaled deeply and said, "It doesn't matter. It never hurts to be careful. Even if Great Xia has something planned, that doesn't mean that everything will go smoothly. You're only a Mountainsea. Even if the enemies discover you, they might not care too much. They will underestimate you, yet you can be very helpful when it matters. That alone is enough."

Hearing Su Yu's praise, Hu Xiansheng stroked his beard proudly. Of course he was helpful. In terms of escaping, he was the number one person under the sky. Well, perhaps he had to exclude all Invincibles for that to be true. Or maybe Sunmoons as well.

But that "only a Mountainsea" phrase was very grating to his ears. Why was the kid speaking like he was already stronger than a Mountainsea?

"..."

Screw this! Hu Xiansheng nearly cursed out loud. Sixth-stage Sunmoon Realm and above? This kid was simply using him like he was a Sunmoon!

Su Yu beamed, "Faculty Head, I trust in your strength. You will be fine."

"Heh." Hu Xiansheng said, "If you really want my help, you also need to promise me one other thing."

"What is it?"

"Try to get involved in some spatial research when you have the time."

Su Yu nodded, "I've been planning to do so, but I don't have any relevant character. And I also lack knowledge on this aspect. I have been reading those Invincible notes recently. If I manage to form some space-related characters, I promise I will perform some research about it when I have the time."

In truth, he also had the alternative of researching some races good at spatial abilities. If he could learn some spatial abilities that would allow instantaneous movement, it would be great.

"Just give it a try." Hu Xiansheng paused for a bit and said, "The multiple character faction is facing a great crisis. If we take the right step, we will rise and stay prosperous for years to come. If we take the wrong step, we will be condemned to eternal damnation.

"Hong Tan is kicking up a big ruckus in Great Xia with his disassembly method, but there is no solid proof of what he can do yet. Perhaps this is his way of protecting the faction. If something happens to him, the crisis will also end with him. As for you and Bai Feng...well, forget about Bai Feng. As for you, try to not get dragged into anything related to the disassembly method. Otherwise, you will be implicated after the fall of Hong Tan."

Su Yu nodded, but he said nothing.

Hu Xiansheng said, "Do you think that we're being too cold-blooded here? Since this is a crisis of the multiple character faction, why are we not helping?"

Su Yu smiled, "Everyone has the right to make their own choice. There is no need to drag everyone into the same crisis. The multiple character faction, no, Great Xia's multiple character faction has turned into a quagmire. You made the right choice not involving yourself in this affair. It's not like you can change anything as a Mountainsea, anyway."

"I keep feeling like you're looking down on me."

Screw this kid! Why was he speaking badly about Mountainseas all the time? The damn kid should try reaching the Mountainsea Realm himself first! Just what was that confidence of his?

Having reached an agreement, Hu Xiansheng wasted no time. He said, "I'll be taking off, then. One last reminder from me. When the situation becomes irreversible...consider taking a step back. Hong Tan's line, including you, is pursuing change. There is no turning back for Hong Tan and the others. But that might not necessarily be true for you."

"I understand."

Seeing that Su Yu was saying nothing else, Hu Xiansheng stopped his nagging and vanished into thin air. Looking at how fast Hu Xiansheng could move, Su Yu was slightly envious. He greatly coveted a spatial ability. That was truly an incredible ability in terms of life preservation.
