Chapter 181: Kill Character (2)
Su Yu was extremely nervous the whole way back. Only when he arrived at the research center did he heave a sigh of relief.
It was already past midnight.
Bai Feng was waiting at the living area. When he saw Su Yu and sensed the faint traces of willpower undulation around the kid, he knew that Su Yu had found the willpower text. Looking at his student who was looking like a burglar who had just hit the jackpot, Bai Feng laughed.
This kid still has no idea how much trouble is waiting for him in the future. But even if he knows, he probably wouldn't care. He would probably find offending a genius for over 1,000 merit points a worthy price.
Bai Feng did not expose anything and said, "Prepare some food yourself. The monthly exam is tomorrow. Remember to rest earlier tonight."
"Yeah, yeah. Got it, teacher!" Su Yu hurriedly agreed.
He still couldn't fully calm down yet. When he saw Bai Feng walking away, he hesitated slightly before saying, "Teacher, about the Skybreak Technique..."
Bai Feng interrupted him, "Buy it yourself. Or win it from Liu Hong's faction. They are rich so you are free to scam as much from them as possible. You have a bet with Lin Yao, right? Maybe increase the wager and add the Skybreak Technique as well. But remember, however you get it, it needs to be a legitimate channel instead of something illegal. If you don't have this technique in your record and you suddenly use it in public, the academy will perform an investigation on you."
Su Yu blinked a few times before nodding, "Ok. Got it."
But inwardly, he was suspicious. Why did his teacher feel like a prophet? It was as though his teacher was already aware that he had gotten the willpower text.
Bai Feng also realized that he was acting suspiciously. He hurriedly added, "You can find these martial techniques in the black market as well, and they are quite cheap. But don't get too greedy. Martial techniques and cultivation methods should be bought from the academy or some legitimate channels. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Don't get too greedy."
"Ok." Su Yu nodded and asked, "Teacher, you know this technique as well. Can you be the one to teach me?"
"Of course..." Bai Feng smiled, "But I need to pay for it. To teach it, I need to pay 200 merit points for the rights. I don't have that much money right now."
Su Yu clenched his teeth. Rather than letting others profit, he might as well let his teacher profit. He decided to use his teacher as his legitimate channel if he couldn't get any from Lin Yao and the others. At worst, he would only need to pay the 200 merit points for his teacher.
But he had barely opened his mouth when Bai Feng said, "I'm leaving."
"Teacher, I..."
"Talk again next time."
Bai Feng ran off. He did not want to know. If he knew, wouldn't he be the one to handle the trouble from the Zheng Family after they found out about the willpower text? Su Yu was the one who had found it. He naturally had to deal with it himself.
"..."
Su Yu was speechless. His teacher felt more and more like a prophet. It was as if his teacher knew what he was going to say.
"Weird...this is so weird."
Su Yu scratched his head in confusion. Bai Feng was acting too suspiciously tonight.
...
Since Bai Feng insisted on leaving, Su Yu wasn't able to say anything. In any case, he was also getting impatient. The moment Bai Feng left, Su Yu took out the piece of cloth and unfolded it. On the cloth, countless characters could be seen. These characters were written in the human language.
Su Yu did not use his willpower yet. He only skimmed through the text to gain an initial understanding of the Skybreak Technique. Sure enough, that was War God Art's complementary technique.
"Only the Great Strength and Infinite Strength versions?"
Su Yu frowned. This was not enough for him! He had thought that this copy would include even the Skysoar version.
"It would do for now. This is actually an earth-grade technique. That's understandable since it is supposed to complement the advanced War God Art."
This was a willpower text booked by a freak in the academy. Su Yu had no idea who that person was. Since the buyer was a freak, he definitely cultivated the advanced War God Art as well. The complementary technique would be different depending on which version of the War God Art one practiced.
"There are 6 moves in total. Each move is meant to be learned in stages of early, middle, and late stages of the Great Strength and Infinite Strength Realms. It requires 96 acupoints in total..."
Su Yu exclaimed in admiration. His Lightning Source Blade only required 40 acupoints to master the entire technique. As for the Skybreak Technique, the final move actually utilized 96 acupoints.
In short, each move would require an addition of 16 acupoints. The first move alone required 16 acupoints, making it even stronger than Lightning Source Blade's second move. The 16 acupoints did not include the Source Opening acupoints.
"Since I already have 36 acupoints opened, I can already use the first move..."
Su Yu checked the text and found that he had opened all 16 acupoints the first move required.
But despite having opened 36 acupoints, he couldn't use the second move yet as some of the acupoints of the War God Art's second stage did not overlap with the Skybreak Technique's second move.
He would probably have enough acupoints at the middle of the Great Strength Realm, at around the sixth-stage.
"In other words, I can actually grasp the first move in no time..."
The Skybreak Technique was not a saber technique. Neither was it a sword technique. This was a pure strength eruption technique. After all, the warriors that cultivate the War God Art might not necessarily use the same weapon.
This martial technique was mainly a technique to unleash more strength. It was not something as simple as a weapon technique.
"16 acupoints, different acupoint circuits, different eruption methods, and different activation methods..."
Su Yu was completely engrossed in the new technique. Unknowingly, his willpower started sinking into the text. Next, a burly middle-aged man appeared before him. The man started demonstrating the Skybreak Technique.
"Skybreak Technique, a ferocious and unyielding fighting technique..."
"First move, Wallbreaker. With this move, you can break all obstacles before you. This move requires 16 acupoints."
The burly man explained slowly. As he explained, one acupoint after another lit up within his body. The activation, linking, and circulation methods were explained clearly. Su Yu was completely engrossed with what he was seeing. Eventually, a character on the piece of cloth started twisting.
"Kill!"
Su Yu did not notice the character. All his attention was on the burly man and the profound martial technique. But immediately after, he was awakened from his state of concentration.
The two Divine Characters in his sea of willpower were stirring. Instantly, the two characters woke up from their slumber. Together, they furiously charged ahead. In his confusion, Su Yu finally noticed a different character in his sea of willpower.
"Kill character..."
Su Yu was stunned. He wasn't planning to form a Divine Character at all. Why did one appear in his sea of willpower? But he didn't have the time to think too much. Since he had encountered one, he naturally had to tame it.
He shifted his attention from the willpower text as a miniature Su Yu appeared in the sea of willpower. The blood character transformed into a saber while the lightning character fused into the saber, wrapping the blade in a layer of lightning.
Boom!
Su Yu swung the saber at the new character. This character was a lot more powerful than the two characters he had formed previously. It emanated a thick murderous aura. As Su Yu swung his blade, he suddenly sensed a terrifying killing intent that caused his heart to palpitate.
"Kill!"
A loud voice roared in his mind.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The boundless killing intent echoed again and again.
The newly formed Divine Character was extremely powerful. Instantly, it broke through the saber and flew straight toward Su Yu. This was a Divine Character that originated from a Mountainsea willpower text. It was much more powerful than the characters from texts written by Liu Wenyan and Bai Feng.
If the Mountainsea expert had not been holding back as the willpower text was meant for someone between the Great Strength and Infinite Strength Realms, Su Yu wouldn't have been able to even understand the text, much less form a Divine Character through it.
Even with the writer holding back, this character was still unimaginably powerful. The saber shattered into pieces. The blood character reappeared. It looked much dimmer than before. The lightning character was shaking. The three of them were clearly not the new Divine Character's match.
"Damn you! How dare you be so cocky when you're in my sea of willpower?"
Su Yu was furious. Killing intent? What was that? He had been killed countless times. Would he be afraid of some killing intent? Su Yu charged forward and used his palm as a saber. Utilizing the Lightning Source Blade, he clashed against the kill character.
After a while, Su Yu's body fell apart.
Dead!
But this was his sea of willpower, so he wasn't dead for real. In the blink of an eye, a new Su Yu appeared. This time, he looked paler than before.
"Don't get too cocky. How many times can you kill me? I'll tire you to death!"
What was death? He only needed to get used to it. Dying in his sea of willpower would only give him a little bit of headache. How many times would this character be able to kill him? He refused to believe that he wouldn't be able to beat this character into submission.
...
Once, twice, thrice...
After dying countless times.
With a rumble, the kill character broke into pieces. The broken pieces dissipated into nothingness, leaving the greatly weakened main body in the sea of willpower. Even in such a weakened state, it still had a high fighting spirit.
Unfortunately, it was no longer a complete character. After stirring for a bit, it settled down. Calm returned to the sea of willpower. In the real world, Su Yu opened his eyes and gasped for breath. He had finally beaten that fellow into submission.
But the drain on his willpower was terrifying. It felt like he had entered the fragment room six times in a row without resting. And when he looked outside...morning had arrived!
Su Yu was alarmed. The monthly examination was about to start. How was he supposed to take the examination in his current condition? His willpower was in a terrible state!
