Chapter 1339: Absolutely Devilish (3)

Not far away, Great Zhou King glanced at Su Yu without saying anything.

Worried, Qin Zhen sent him a voice transmission, "Su Yu has changed a lot. I admire his decisiveness. But from the way he described the taste of immortal flesh...is it possible that he has really eaten immortals before? This...is rather hard for me to accept. No matter what, the immortals greatly resemble us humans."

It wasn't that he was squeamish. He was also a decisive and ruthless killer. In fact, he was known to Su Yu as the killer of immortal fairies. But eating the immortals as a human was too excessive for him.

Niu Baidao explained, "No. He won't eat something like that. He was the one to discover the Heaven Connecting Acupoint. He found this thing disgusting to no end. How will he bring himself to eat the immortals? You worry too much."

As far as Niu Baidao was concerned, immortal flesh was the last thing Su Yu would eat. He viewed the immortals as a constantly farting race. Even when an immortal smelled nice, his brain would tell him that the immortal smelled disgusting.

Qin Zhen said in relief, "That's good to hear. It's fine to kill them. But eating them...it's fine to eat the beasts or even the dragons. But the divines, devils, and immortals shouldn't be eaten. They are too similar to humans."

Before long, he tossed the matter out of his mind. He even had the leisure to share his opinion, "Su Yu is actually wrong. The clearbright birds taste terrible with their dry flesh. The phoenixes are a lot more delicious. Their flesh is tender."

Niu Baidao and the others were rendered speechless. That was not what they were talking about. He had been misled by Su Yu!

Speaking of, when did this guy try eating the phoenixes? That was an ancient race as well. They were weaker than the dragons, but the phoenix race was still a top ten race. When did this guy kill and eat a phoenix?

***

The various experts started talking among themselves through voice transmissions.

Floating in the sky, Su Yu flashed everyone a devilish and crazy smile. The Invincibles frowned as they wondered if he was really dying. He seemed a tad bit too crazy. In terms of appearance, he still looked perfectly normal. But he was giving off the feeling of a madman.

Even Lan Tian was staring at Su Yu in surprise, wondering if the kid had gone mad. That shouldn't be the case, right?

Not far away, Immortal King Xuan He sent Dao King a voice transmission, "Stop provoking him. He might really be dying. He has gone crazy. There are rumors that he has the ability to absorb death qi as he has opened the fabled heaven acupoint. The acupoint will not take long to be completely full. At most, he will die in two human years."

Dao King blanked out slightly and asked, "How do you know this?"

"I have my sources. He won't live long. His heaven acupoint is imperfect. It can only absorb death qi endlessly. By becoming the mayor of several cities, he has gone far beyond his limits. He will die in a human year or two. It's pointless to provoke him now and lose a few Eternals for nothing."

He would die soon. Only a fool would sacrifice several Invincibles to kill someone like that. One should never provoke a madman with the strength to deal them heavy damage like Su Yu. It was not worth it.

The white-haired divine king was frowning as well.

Su Yu seemed more and more devilish. The kid had been surprisingly silent about his broken promise regarding the carrier treasure earlier. Was the kid...planning to wait and go crazy when the kid's death was near?

That would be the most pointless fight ever.

It was said that a dog would not bark before biting. He would feel a lot more relieved if Su Yu shouted at him in fury. But now that Su Yu was saying nothing about the broken promise, he started worrying. What if Su Yu decided to go after him at the very end? Wouldn't that be troublesome?

Sure, he could hide in the Divine Realm. But the death spirits could enter the Divine Realm as well.

His head ached.

Should he pay up, after all?

But he had arrogantly declared that he wouldn't pay earlier. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to pay now?

Furthermore, a carrier treasure was a big deal. Even Invincibles would treasure something like that. No Invincible could guarantee that they would never lose their tri-life bodies. Each carrier treasure could be useful in the future.

As a veteran divine king, he could still afford to pay a carrier treasure to Su Yu. But he was unwilling to make such a big payment.

After some hesitation, he started consoling himself. There was no need to be too stingy toward a madman who was about to die. Thus, he sent Su Yu a voice transmission, "Mayor Su, we can talk about more cooperation. As for the carrier treasure I promised you before, you will receive it soon."

"..."

Su Yu blanked out as he stared at the divine king. What the fuck? Did carrier treasures drop in price recently? Why was the divine king so generous out of nowhere? Was the divine king crazy?

But after thinking about it, he grinned. Was the divine king intimidated by his madness? Sure enough, nobody was scarier than a dying person.

Yes. He was dying. He had nothing to fear. Everyone else should fear him instead.

He grinned, revealing his white teeth alongside the strands of black qi seeping out of his teeth. Many expressions changed as they noticed the dense death qi in Su Yu's body. This was only natural since Su Yu was having three stone statues act as his bodyguards.

The three stone statues were more than happy to accept this task since it meant they could spend some time outside their cities.

At this time, the match in the ancient city ended.

Sixteen combatants remained.

Apart from some unlucky combatants who had been defeated by the others, sixty-five of the combatants had surrendered by seeking shelter in the ancient buildings. Split among the sixteen remaining combatants, each of them would receive about four slots.

Including the additional slot they had received for participating in the competition, each of them would walk away with five slots.

As Zhu Hongliang lazily put his ring away, he grinned. Five slots!

Not far away, the other human from the army was blanking out in confusion. He had not fought even once. Just like that, he had earned five slots.

Su Yu's special death spirit was still around as well.

If there were only one death spirit, nobody would care. But thousands of death spirits had appeared in the city thanks to Zhu Hongliang. Everyone was scared of attracting all the death spirits after killing one death spirit. Thus, nobody had the courage to even lay a hand on Su Yu's death spirit.

Just like that, Su Yu had earned five slots.

The biggest winner was a lunatic from the blood fire devil race. He had earned nine slots. After splitting the abandoned slots evenly among the remaining combatants, one additional slot was left. It was ultimately given to this blood fire devil as well since he was the best performing combatant of the match, pushing the number of slots he won to ten.

Some devil kings smiled at that, but Moge did not smile. After all, these slots had been won by a blood fire devil. This time, the slots the blood fire devils earned might not go to the original devils. Thus, this wasn't necessarily a good thing for them.

The blood fire devil had behaved in a way befitting of the reputation the blood fire devils enjoyed. He had ignored the dangers in the city and hunted the other combatants. That was how he had earned so many slots.

From this, one could see that the major races were clearly stronger than the other races. Most of the winners hailed from the divine, devil, immortal, and ancient races. Almost all the minor race combatants had been eliminated from the match.

The competition continued.

Su Yu watched on silently, taking note of every single cultural researcher he saw. He wasn't too concerned about the slots. If he had extra, he would simply sell them away. He did not consider the alternative of giving the extra slots to the human race.

If they were too weak to win their own slots, they would simply die after entering the mansion. Things would be a lot more dangerous in the mansion this time around. The human race had secured two hundred slots so far. That was enough for them.

As the match for the second-stage Skysoars commenced, Su Yu saw a familiar face as well. Zhao Shiji, a student from Su Yu's batch and a descendant of General Zhao. He was quite surprised to see that Zhao Shiji was still a second-stage Skysoar. How...weak.

Back then, Zhao Shiji, Zheng Yunhui, Xia Huyou, Xia Chan, Hu Qiusheng, and Wan Mingze were the freaks of his batch. But now, the gap between him and them had grown massively. Even Wan Mingze was already a sixth or seventh-stage Skysoar. How was Zhao Shiji still a second-stage Skysoar?

Su Yu also saw Zheng Yunhui somewhere outside the city. When he focused, he noted that Zheng Yunhui was only a third-stage Skysoar. That was so weak. He was basically as weak as Xia Huyou. Speaking of, Xia Huyou's cultivation speed seemed a tad bit too slow.

They shouldn't be so slow in the Skysoar Realm. At that level, they only needed to forge their bodies. If they focused on physical cultivation, they would be able to progress easily so long as they had sufficient resources.

Su Yu had also left the aperture opening method behind. Thus, they should have been able to grow much faster even if they focused on only willpower cultivation. Why were all of them stuck at the early Skysoar Realm? How useless.

"Do they lack willpower?"

That might be the case. He wondered if Wu Lan had made any progress in her research. The lack of willpower was the greatest problem plaguing the current human cultural researchers.

In Su Yu's opinion, Wu Lan shouldn't even consider entering the Luminous Domain Mansion. She should obediently stay behind and focus on her research. If she succeeded, a large number of experts would emerge from the willpower cultivators.

That was also the case for Bai Feng. They were all research geniuses. Why must they insist on matters related to combat? Wouldn't it be a big loss for them to die because of their stubbornness?

Suddenly, Su Yu's eyes flickered.

Should he...disguise himself as Wu Lan?

Nobody would expect that!

Wow!

He could disguise himself as an early Skysoar weakling of a different gender!

Hehehe.

And she didn't even have that many enemies out there. She was probably too weak to attract too many enemies. They might not mind killing her if they had the chance, but they also wouldn't waste the effort of seeking her out for the purpose of killing her. Furthermore, very few people knew that she was already a member of the multiple character faction. Even fewer people knew about the research she was conducting.

Su Yu started blanking out.

Wu Lan...a woman.

He was actually considering disguising himself as her. Holy shit! He glanced at Lan Tian before moving away instinctively. Lan Tian was absolutely devilish. He had somehow been infected by Lan Tian. How could he think of such an idea?

Lan Tian was too powerful.
