Chapter 839: First Venture Out Of The Human Realm (3)
Meanwhile, Su Yu didn't have too many thoughts in his mind. He was in a good mood. Many of his characters had advanced. Each advancement gave his willpower a small boost, so his willpower had also grown stronger after all the advancements. In fact, his willpower had grown so much that he was forced to compress it with his hammer again. He didn't want to become a Mountainsea so soon.
He still needed to form more characters. He wanted to see just how powerful his character technique would be after completion. His foundation was also still too shaky. He had been growing way too fast. He had to slow down for a bit.
It was late June. And he had only enrolled in the academy in August of the previous year. It hadn't even been a year.
In less than a year, his willpower had reached the Cloudbreach Realm while his body had reached the Skysoar Realm. This was a terrifying speed. Su Yu felt like there was a need to slow down and build up his foundation. Perhaps he could aim for seventy-two body forgings and willpower near the level of a Mountainsea by the end of the year. Six months should be enough for him to achieve all that.
While thinking about all that, he took out some heavenly source qi and started forging his body again. He had only completed eleven body forgings. If possible, he wanted to complete his twelfth body forging before entering the Allheaven Battlefield.
The moment he completed twelve body forgings, he would be able to unleash the strength of nearly six thousand acupoints. If he used all his strength alongside his characters and half-opened yang acupoint, he believed he could even defeat those ninth-stage Cloudbreaches.
Of course, those from the powerful races such as the divine and devil races would be an exception to that. He started working hard to forge his body.
Xia Huyou had given him a million merit points' worth of blood essence. From the blood essence, he had extracted about a thousand portions of heavenly source qi. Some were given to Xia Huyou and some were given to Bai Feng.
He had also extracted more heavenly source qi from his remaining blood essence in the Heart Calming Spring and used some of them. At present, he had about seven hundred portions left.
According to his calculations, he would probably require around twenty portions for a single body forging. Thus, he would have enough heavenly source qi to last him until the thirty-fifth body forging.
But he also expected the expenditure to increase the stronger his body became. He wasn't too worried. He only needed some blood essence to get more heavenly source qi. And blood was one thing the Allheaven Battlefield did not lack.
Su Yu did not intend to return before completing at least seventy-two body forgings. Yes. He aimed to complete his body forging in the Allheaven Battlefield. He would turn the Allheaven Battlefield upside down with slaughter...Uhm...as long as he didn't meet any powerful opponents. If he was really unlucky enough to encounter one, well, he would need to start running for his life.
That day, Su Yu remained in the room. Since Ye Hongyan had warned him to stay idle, he did not wish to create more trouble for her.
The second day arrived. It was the 20th of June.
Su Yu still couldn't leave.
Great Qin King would only return to the main headquarters tomorrow. As for which Invincible was in charge of keeping watch over the main headquarters today, Su Yu didn't know. He also didn't care.
He decided to keep staying in the room. Loneliness was not something he couldn't withstand. He continued forging his body. But he also realized that he would most likely fail to complete his twelfth body forging before his departure. But it didn't matter. It wouldn't take him longer than five days.
Surprisingly, Ye Hongyan took the initiative to see him.
Inside the room.
First, Ye Hongyan looked at the books she sent over. All the books had been read. She then looked at Su Yu who was still sitting in the exact same position. She sighed inwardly. This was quite an obedient child.
He was capable of withstanding loneliness. What a pity that all his elders were unreliable troublemakers.
Ye Hongyan walked to the front of the room and sat down on the head seat. She calmly said, "I have one thing to tell you. Cheng Yong killed someone again. It is likely that he has truly caught the attention of Invincibles."
"Who?" Su Yu asked.
"Even a proud genius like Xia Longwu has been forced to bow to fate. This is a helpless era. Too many people have been forced into helplessness. I hope you won't walk the same path as these people. Their path might not suit you."
After saying that, Ye Hongyan left, leaving Su Yu to nod alone. He wouldn't! He would only walk his own path!
That day, he focused fully on his cultivation, forgetting about everything else.
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
21st of June.
This was the day he was going to enter the Allheaven Battlefield. Early in the morning, Ye Hongyan arrived outside the room.
Su Yu stepped out of the room and followed her silently. None of the two said anything. They walked in silence toward the portal. On the way, numerous experts and soldiers could be seen going about with their own business.
Su Yu did not pay these people too much attention. He focused only on walking. After a long while, and after passing through numerous checkpoints, a bright pillar of light appeared in front of them.
Ye Hongyan spoke the first word of the day, "That is the entrance to the Allheaven Battlefield. It might be an ancient teleportation formation. Stand in there. When there are enough people, all of you will be sent to the Allheaven Battlefield."
Su Yu nodded.
Ye Hongyan waved her hand. Seeing that, a Mountainsea commander rushed over.
"Commander Ye..."
With a cold expression, she said, "Send Cui Lang to the Allheaven Battlefield when the portal is ready. I still have something I need to do. Notify me again when he returns."
"Yes!"
The moment Ye Hongyan left, the Mountainsea commander led Su Yu to the beam of light. A few dozen people were already gathered there.
The Mountainsea smiled and said, "All of you will be moved once a hundred people are gathered. Each of you needs to pay a fee of a hundred merit points. Do not move around during the transfer. Be careful lest you end up lost in the tunnel. When you reach the other side, cooperate with the authorities in their inspection. Do not get into a conflict with them. Things are still not that bad here in the Human Realm, but that is a battlefield. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you end up killed for doing something stupid. Just listen to the authorities there. Great Qin King might return to the main headquarters today. If you're lucky, you might even get to see him. Of course, remember to be on your best behavior in his presence. Last but not least, have a pleasant journey."
While the Mountainsea was speaking, more people arrived. When there were enough people, he wasted no time and said, "Start the transfer."
The pillar of light flickered. Instantly, everyone standing there vanished into thin air.
After their departure, someone sighed and said, "There are over a hundred of them, but how many of them can return alive? Most of them are lone travelers. For their sake, I hope they don't do anything stupid."
"Why do you care? Most lone travelers are either overconfident or too arrogant for their own good. They could only blame themselves if they ended up dying there."
"..."
The conversation ended and silence returned. The place returned to how it was before. Perhaps more than half of these people would not be able to return with their lives. But that was life.
This was Su Yu's first departure from the Human Realm. This was also his first visit to the Allheaven Battlefield.
