Chapter 318: Teacher Is Incredible (2)

The look in Bai Feng's eyes changed as he noticed the crux of the issue. "How did he even get his willpower in here? The defenses placed by your grandteacher might not be able to block the invasion of a peak Mountainsea, but it should at least be able to prevent one from entering undetected."

He looked at Su Yu and asked, "Are you sure you were in here when it happened?"

"Yeah."

"Holy shit!" Bai Feng couldn't stop himself from cursing yet again. "That old scoundrel--cough, cough. I mean...that old principal...is already in the Sunmoon Realm?"

"Sunmoon?"

Su Yu was astonished. Was Wan Tiansheng already in the Sunmoon Realm?

"That is very possible." Bai Feng frowned, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to so easily sneak through your grandteacher's defenses. Whatever. Just forget about him."

Bai Feng decided to stop thinking. The more he thought about it, the more troubled he felt.

"Anything else?"

"Yeah..." Su Yu softly said, "Teacher, I accidentally obtained a martial technique."

"Oh."

Bai Feng was relieved. That was no big deal.

"It's a heaven-grade technique."

"Not bad."

"A middle-tier heaven-grade technique with 132 acupoints..."

Bai Feng glanced at his student and said, "It's only a technique. So what if it's a middle-tier heaven-grade technique? Are you showing off? The Knowledge Seeking Realm and War Shrine have plenty of such techniques. Every single one of those old fossils have a few of these techniques lying around. Your teacher's Dragon Slaying Sword is, strictly speaking, no weaker than these heaven-grade techniques."

He was a cultivator who had experienced and seen a lot. Could something like this shock him? Sure, that was most definitely an incredible technique. But in comparison with everything else he had heard today, that was nothing.

Su Yu stole a glance at his teacher and softly said, "I found the technique inside the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem you sold."

Bang!

Bai Feng kicked a side table in shock before hurriedly picking up the things sprawled all over the floor. He swallowed and said, "Bullshit! I sold nothing! It was stolen!"

He then asked with despair, "Are you sure? You found it inside the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem?"

"Yeah. The suanni told me. It was something he accidentally obtained a long time ago."

"When your grandteacher returns, he will kill the suanni. Kid, don't tell your grandteacher. Or the suanni would be dead."

Bai Feng shivered. Had the suanni thought of his fate after this? Hong Tan would probably slowly flay the suanni while maintaining a sinister smile of a devil on his face.

Since the suanni had lied for decades, he might as well continue lying. But instead, the suanni had decided to tell Hong Tan's grandstudent. That was too humiliating for Hong Tan. Hong Tan would definitely kill that suanni after learning about it.

Su Yu also smiled bitterly. That was true. That idiot suanni...how pitiful. He decided to offer the suanni some of his sympathy.

Bai Feng didn't even feel like asking more about the technique. He weakly said, "Forget about everything else for now. As for the soul devouring bug ability...I'll think of something. I tried producing a drop of unique blood essence with their ability before, but it was too difficult so I gave up. I've learned something new recently so I can try again."

Bai Feng was no fool. He was able to instantly see through the crux of the issue. He said, "I will try to get the basic production method out. If I can't further improve it, I'll give it to the academy or the Knowledge Seeking Realm. They only need to pay us. We can also sell them some blood essence to let them know that this ability is not a willpower ability."

Bai Feng started cursing, "A bunch of fools. They don't even know the difference between willpower and source qi abilities. After buying a few drops of blood essence and learning that it is a source qi ability, they would probably give up. After all, this blood essence can only be obtained from a single species. It is also very weak. Unless you gather thousands of people together and have them use the ability as one, it would be useless against even Skysoar cultivators."

Su Yu was relieved to hear that. At times, this teacher of his could also be quite reliable. Just look at how easily his teacher solved this problem. Sure enough, using his teacher as the scapegoat was the correct decision.

Bai Feng said, "As for the matter involving Zheng Yuming, who cares about him? He won't be able to do anything in the Allheaven Battlefield. But some trouble will probably come from the beating you gave Huang Qifeng. You'll have to deal with that yourself.

"As for the heaven-grade technique, generally, the creators of these techniques would still be alive. And it's not a good idea to spread the technique when the creator is still alive. Just cultivate it privately. For human inheritances, if they come in the form of willpower text, then the creator is likely still alive. After all, human willpower texts can't be kept for long. Your technique comes in the form of a willpower text, right?"

"Yeah." Su Yu nodded.

Bai Feng said, "That explains why even your grandteacher was clueless. I reckon that it is an inheritance from a Sunmoon or even an Invincible. But we're not desperate for something like that so keep it for yourself. You don't even owe the creator a favor by learning a technique in this manner. At most, you'll have to call the creator teacher when you meet them in the future. It's not like you had robbed the technique from them. If you get along well with them, you can further develop this relationship. If not, it's no big deal."

Bai Feng wasn't too worried about that. Heaven-grade techniques might be rare, but cultural researchers were generally unconcerned about martial techniques. That was especially true for those from the multiple character faction.

Strictly speaking, their character technique could also be considered a middle-tier heaven-grade technique.

Su Yu nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Bai Feng said, "From now on, you're not allowed to fight with blood essence unless it's a matter of life or death. As for what you have already shown, just blame them all on me. Not many people would know anything yet and the few that would suspect anything had no way of being sure either."

Su Yu nodded.

"Since you can actually use those abilities the correct way..." The look in Bai Feng's eyes changed, "Have you tried the blood essence of the five elemental race? No, you can only use their racial abilities instead of their cultivation methods. Forget it. That won't help."

Su Yu's heart nearly popped out of his chest. This teacher of his...could be terrifyingly sharp at times. He knew what Bai Feng was thinking. His teacher wanted to ask if he could duplicate the cultural art of the five elemental race and create a version that was suitable for human cultivation.

How terrifyingly smart. Even Su Yu himself had only thought of that recently. Sure enough, his teacher was actually smart. He just enjoyed being a shut-in a tad too much.

Bai Feng was unaware of what his student was thinking. After thinking for a bit, he said, "Also, for now, try to focus on only human characters. Don't be in a rush to confirm your main Divine Character character. Perhaps...you were right. Why can't human characters be strong as well?

"You wish to start researching as well. Your strength has reached an acceptable level. Starting from tomorrow, you can enter the third underground floor. Your first project would be the creation of the production method for soul devouring bug blood essence ability. After you're done with that, you can join my research project."

Bai Feng inhaled deeply, "I suppose that would be a good idea. Since you know so many different racial abilities, you can help me with my experiments, such as activating some abilities every now and then for me to learn more about those abilities.

"What a pity that your grandteacher isn't around. Otherwise, we would have been able to get him to provide more divine and devil blood essence for you. Perhaps we can discover something unexpected by doing that. I really need to send someone to go look for him. Yeah. I'll need to issue a mission for someone to find him for us."

Bai Feng was starting to regret sending his teacher away. He better not be lost somewhere. Bai Feng and his senior brother were not strong enough to handle all the troubles coming their way.

He was also worried that even after completing his research on the racial ability character, he wouldn't be able to announce his research results without the protection of his teacher. That would simply be too big of a deal.

In fact, maybe not even his teacher could withstand the troubles that might come their way after he completed his research. He needed the backing of even more multiple character faction experts.

There was also this kid. This kid was simply a monster.

Divine Character?

Bullshit!

He swore if the kid dared to claim that all his special abilities were thanks to the character he wrote, he would strangle the kid to death.

Bai Feng was willing to bet his life on the fact that the blood character really wasn't that incredible. He couldn't help but to curse inwardly. That damn kid had been lying to him!

Suddenly, Bai Feng thought of something. He hesitated slightly and said, "Give my martial uncle a call and ask him if...he's willing to become my lab rat."

"Huh?"

Su Yu blanked out.

"What do you mean, teacher?"

"The literal meaning of all those words." Bai Feng rolled his eyes, "Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

"No...I mean...Teacher, why don't you call him yourself..."

"Nonsense. Do you think I'm not afraid of death? My martial uncle is very petty. He also doesn't like me. He keeps thinking that I'm trying to steal from him. If I dare to mention this to him, he would get his old lover to beat me up..."

"..."

Su Yu was stunned. His teacher's mouth was getting more and more out of control. Was his teacher so desperate that he couldn't even be bothered to keep some things secret anymore?

Curious, Su Yu softly asked, "Teacher, who is...Teacher Liu's old lover?"

"It's—"

Bai Feng hurriedly shut his mouth.

"Scram! Don't ask something you shouldn't be asking about!" Bai Feng rolled his eyes, "Ask him yourself. Don't ask me. Remember, give him a call. I have an idea and my martial uncle would be the perfect lab rat. I'm even starting to wonder if what the fifth principal left behind is the thing I'm thinking about."

Racial ability character. Was the character left behind by the fifth principal a racial ability character? He was seriously suspecting that. He really wanted to cut his martial uncle's head open and get a good look at that character.

It would be even better if he could do the same to Su Yu.

At this moment, Su Yu recalled something and said, "Teacher Huang said that human cultural researchers are incapable of entering the Eternal Realm because humans lack something. And that something is related to the sea of willpower. Teacher..."

Bai Feng was completely stunned. Yes. He didn't know that. He had never asked about it and nobody had ever bothered telling him about it. Was someone supposed to tell someone at his cultivation level that human cultural researchers would be stuck at the peak Sunmoon Realm?

Nobody was that free. Nobody would tell him unless he asked about it first. He wasn't a peak Sunmoon so what was the point of telling him? In the end, he would still need to reach the Eternal Realm through physical cultivation.

Bai Feng swallowed. And like Su Yu when he first heard of that news, Bai Feng also thought about the racial ability character.

He looked at his student and asked with a trembling voice, "Are you sure? Who told you that?"

"Teacher Huang. The one guarding the grotto."

Bai Feng inhaled deeply, stood up, and solemnly said, "Do not tell anyone that we are researching the racial ability character. If anyone asks, we are researching blood essence abilities. Do you understand? We are researching blood essence. Our research has nothing to do with Divine Characters and sea of willpower."

Su Yu hurriedly nodded. Yes. He understood. At that moment, he suddenly felt like his teacher was truly incredible. His teacher's research was actually related to humanity's path toward the Eternal Realm. When Bai Feng saw the look of admiration on his student's face, he felt incredibly smug.

"Me. Your teacher. Incredible, right? Amazing, right?"

Next, Su Yu softly asked, "Teacher, you're only a Skysoar. Even if you can complete your research, can you even put it to use?"

"..."

Bai Feng was totally speechless. Those words were too hurtful. Only a Skysoar? What was the kid talking about? Did the kid think he was already a Cloudbreach? Bai Feng was tired of talking to his student. But he couldn't help but to feel melancholic. Yeah. He was only a Skysoar. Damn it! He must reach the Cloudbreach Realm faster!
