Chapter 767: Departure (1)

Source Soul Research Center.

At the end of year 350, Su Yu traveled to Great Ming and went through a lonely new year. The time had arrived for him to make yet another long journey. Great Xia would be his first stop.

There were too many things there he couldn't let go. He had gained a lot from the short time he spent in Great Ming, including fame and a backer. He was grateful to Great Ming. He also felt great gratitude toward the Zhu Family.

Thus, he did not intend to leave Great Ming for good. Nevertheless, he was still hit by a melancholy mood as his departure date drew near. After leaving Great Ming, he would have to start relying on himself for everything.

Anything might happen. Chaos was gradually descending upon the Human Realm. Nobody knew if he would return to Great Ming alive after leaving this time. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Four Seasons Pavilion.

Su Yu was hosting a dinner party.

Wen Zhong, Jin Sheng, and the others had all left their laboratories for this dinner. It was the 17th of May. For some reason, this scene felt very familiar to Wu Lan. Finally, she remembered why!

Back when Su Yu was about to leave Great Xia, he did the same! That day, people like Jiang Mu, Zhao Ming, Xia Huyou, Zheng Yunhui, and Wu Jia were present for the meal. Not long after that, the Starfall Mountain incident happened and news of Su Yu's defection to Great Ming reached Great Xia.

Today, Su Yu was once again hosting a dinner.

Su Yu ate and drank with a smile on his face. Raising his glass, he said, "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, I have yet to recover from my injuries. Recently, I've gained some new understanding of the source soul acupoint. Thus, I will be officially entering seclusion tomorrow.

"Principal Niu has invited me to his Heart Paradise Island for my seclusion. That place is safer and bigger. Thus, I'll be going there tomorrow.

"This seclusion might last a month or two or even longer. I can't estimate how long it might take. Everyone, you have given a lot to the Source Soul Research Center in recent months..."

Wen Zhong said, "Don't say that. Compared to you, old-timers like us are nothing. We have failed at completing the source soul acupoint research, the aperture fusion research, and the lifespan extending research..."

He shook his head with a sigh. All of them combined had lived for about two thousand years yet they couldn't even compare to a child. This was too embarrassing.

Wu Lan lost her patience and said, "Senior Brother Jin, you have too many characters. You have multiple times more characters than me. With thirty-two characters, you're probably the human with the largest number of characters..."

Jin Sheng waved his hand and dismissed that claim, "Nonsense! How can I have the highest number of characters? Some of those long-lived Invincibles had a lot of characters even back then. They probably have more now. I definitely don't have the most characters. Even Faculty Head Hu and Principal Niu might have more."

Wen Zhong smiled, "I don't know about my teacher, but I only have fourteen characters for my character technique and twelve other characters with the abilities I need. I only have twenty-six in total."

The old people of Great Ming had the habit of forming dozens of characters as a hobby. It almost felt like they had spent hundreds of years only focusing on forming characters instead of working on their combat strength. Su Yu found himself speechless.

Compared to the people in Great Ming, even those from Great Xia's multiple character faction didn't have that many characters, including Hong Tan. Liu Wenyan was probably the sole exception, but he had probably formed so many characters out of boredom. Apart from Liu Wenyan, nobody from Great Xia had more than twenty characters. In fact, Su Yu was in the lead with twenty-one characters.

Wen Zhong said, "Junior Brother Jin, do you want to give it a try? We can use this chance to see if it's the human characters or the myriad race characters that have the stronger repelling force. This will help us confirm if one can enter the Sunmoon Realm more easily without any human characters."

After thinking about it, Jin Sheng clenched his teeth and said, "Fine. I'll do it. I'll sacrifice six of my characters."

"..."

They were all speechless to hear that. Even after removing six, wouldn't he still have twenty-six?

Su Yu laughed before calling out, "Furball, get over here."

A short while later, the little furball phased through the walls of the research center to arrive at the Four Seasons Pavilion. He blinked and scanned the room. When he saw the old-timers in the room, he looked quite happy, as though he had just found his toys.

Su Yu was quite boring as a toy. Meanwhile, the others were quite fun to play with. Immediately after arriving, he vanished.

Wu Lan roared angrily, "Get out!"

The little furball reappeared. Just a moment ago, he had entered Wu Lan's sea of willpower to take a look at his personal farm. He looked somewhat disappointed with what he saw.

"Little Wu, my crops are not mature yet. They're not yummy at all."

"Hmm?"
