Chapter 241: Terrible Feeling (2)
The observing experts were speechless. They all cursed inwardly. Damn that kid! This was a fight between cultural researchers! Why was he saying those words? That kid...was truly worthy of being a descendent of the Zheng Family.
Bang!
Zheng Yunhui launched another stomp, but this time, Su Yu wasn't able to move away. Zheng Yunhui's foot landed on Su Yu's chest, causing him intense pain. With a resolute look, Su Yu grabbed Zheng Yunhui's leg and bit down on it.
"Ahhhhh!" Zheng Yunhui wailed in pain. "Let go of me!"
Spurrt!
During his momentary distraction, the saber in his hand turned small and stabbed through his palm before flying toward his throat.
With a crazed roar, Zheng Yunhui opened his mouth and bit down on the saber, catching it with his own mouth. His teeth shook, and more blood poured out of his mouth. Both combatants were already fully soaked in blood.
This was an act? Nobody would believe that now. At that moment, even Liu Hong believed that he had been too suspicious. This was not an act. The two kids were really fighting with everything they had.
In fact, it looked like one of them would be killed if nobody stopped the fight. Both of them were too ruthless.
Zheng Yunhui was going crazy as well. He ignored Su Yu's bite and applied more strength on his leg that was stepping on Su Yu's chest. He did not say anything. Well, it wasn't like he could speak. He was still biting Su Yu's cultural weapon.
Blood continued pouring out of Su Yu's mouth as his bite slowly weakened. After about a minute, he finally released his bite and weakly said, "I surrender."
He wasn't going to fight more. He did not have the strength to keep fighting. If he continued, this bastard would probably beat him to death. Of course, if the fight continued, Zheng Yunhui would probably suffer more injuries as well. Strictly speaking, at this moment, Zheng Yunhui was still slightly stronger than him.
Su Yu had attacked again and again with multiple trump cards, but every single time, he had been beaten back by Zheng Yunhui.
In fact, Zheng Yunhui had been holding a mostly defensive position during the fight. Even so, he was still able to deal such serious injuries to Su Yu. Thus, Su Yu decided that this was the perfect time to stop fighting. If he continued, his injuries would be heavy enough to even slow down his cultivation for a period of time.
Right after that announcement, Zheng Yunhui retracted his leg and crouched down. He hugged his leg, tears dripping out of his eyes. Yes, he was crying. Looking at the part of his leg that had been bitten by Su Yu, a chunk of flesh was missing. He then looked at his chest. A chunk of flesh was also missing there. A few of his bones were broken as well.
Next, he looked at his scarred and bloody hands. He clenched his teeth furiously.
"Pu!"
He suddenly coughed a mouthful of blood. A big, white, tooth flew out with that mouthful of blood. His back was hurting badly too. The attack Su Yu had landed on his back through the help of an illusion seemed to have caused an injury there.
With one missing tooth, when Zheng Yunhui spoke, his speech slurred somewhat. He looked at Su Yu who was busy gasping for breath. His face fell as he resisted the urge to beat Su Yu to death.
How he wished he could beat Su Yu to death then and there. Yes, he did win the fight. But the victory felt terrible!
Su Yu could recover after a month of rest. But he would need at least three months of rest since he had used a secret technique. Who was the actual loser here? He had even lost a tooth!
He was an eighth-stage Great Strength cultivator! Yet he had suffered such a heavy beating! And this wasn't even a real battle to the death. Otherwise, Su Yu wouldn't surrender. If they fought until the very end, Su Yu might end up dead while he would end up crippled.
Zheng Yunhui clenched his teeth in anger. When Su Yu glanced at Zheng Yunhui, he became speechless. What was a grown ass man like him doing crying like this? Zheng Yunhui ignored the look in Su Yu's eyes. He was in too much pain. The pain was excessive.
"Stop pretending. I refuse to believe you're not in pain as well." Zheng Yunhui sounded exasperated, "The fight is over. Why aren't you crying?"
"Crazy."
Su Yu said.
Why should he cry?
He had only sustained some injuries, not dead. And even if he was dead, he wouldn't be able to feel any pain. The process would end in a split second. As far as he was concerned, that actually felt somewhat great as he would finally escape the torture of pain.
The two stopped talking. The silence was suffocating.
After a while, Zheng Yunhui said in a dispirited manner, "This victory is upsetting. We need to fight again next time..."
"There won't be a next time." Su Yu indifferently said, "If this is your strength, the next time we meet...I'll probably be strong enough to defeat you in one move."
"..."
Zheng Yunhui was completely speechless. He clenched his teeth harder, causing his teeth to hurt even harder as well.
Finally, when all the secret observers were getting increasingly impatient, Zheng Yunhui remembered why they were here today. He said, "I won. Bastard, it's time for you to show proof that your data is real."
"Wait."
"Are you trying to renege on the debt?"
At that moment, multiple groups of secret observers were being driven crazy. Was Su Yu going to renege on the debt?
Su Yu weakly said, "How the hell am I supposed to produce anything for you in my current condition? At the very least, wait for me to stand up."
He didn't even have enough strength to stand up yet! This was the very first time he had ever exhausted himself to such a level.
...
After half an hour, Su Yu was finally back on his feet.
The secret observers were so happy to see him standing again they felt like crying. If it wasn't for the fact that they had to hide themselves, they would have rushed over to heal Su Yu long ago.
That half an hour had been a torturous wait for them.
When the old instructor returned and saw the damaged training center, he was speechless. These kids...were too strong!
He had been in the Mental Tempering Stage for many years. His physical cultivation had yet to reach the Infinite Strength Realm, but he was already at the peak of the Mental Tempering Stage. But even he started wondering if he could defeat these kids after seeing the devastation in his training center.
Spar? What manner of a spar was this? Just look at the blood and wounds on their bodies. Who in the world would end up like this from a spar?
"These two...are already as strong as top 100 students!"
The old instructor had sharp eyes. He had never heard of these two. Neither had he seen them around. They were probably new students. Were new students so powerful nowadays? Their spar had even attracted so many experts. He did not dare to say anything. After leaving behind the materials, he left.
Zheng Yunhui stared at Su Yu with a burning gaze. Su Yu wasted no time and tossed the jade pendant over, "It has been unlocked. Check yourself..."
When Zheng Yunhui checked the pendant, he was assaulted with a wall of text.
He then looked over the recently purchased materials and nodded, "All the materials are here. Are you sure you can produce the special blood essence with these?"
"What a stupid question." Su Yu looked around and whispered, "I'll do it now..."
He paused and looked around again, "Nobody is observing us, right?"
Zheng Yunhui said doubtfully, "I don’t think so, right?"
"Whatever. It's already yours."
Su Yu then set a basin aside before pounding several chunks of ores into powder. He also took the time to show his arms to Zheng Yunhui like he was performing a magic performance and said, "Look carefully. I'm not hiding a previously produced blood essence on me. Don't you dare to claim that I lied after this."
Zheng Yunhui nodded. That was completely pointless. He wasn't blind. He would be able to see it if Su Yu was hiding some previously produced blood essence on him.
Su Yu continued working with the materials. He poured some soy sauce into the mold. He mixed some spices in it. He even added some drugs...
All the secret observers were looking with full concentration. But the longer they watched, the more confused they were.
More and more materials were added. Finally, Su Yu said, "This also requires the help of Divine Characters. In the pendant, a way to pulse your Divine Characters have been described. Remember, if you make even a single mistake, the production will fail."
He then started pulsing his Divine Characters in a unique manner. With his willpower, he shook the mold in the basin. After a while, the mold had been turned into something akin to a clump of dough. A few drops of blood essence had been added into the mold as well.
At that moment, Su Yu's face turned solemn as he roared, "Go!"
His willpower assumed the shape of a hammer. The hammer slammed down on the dough again and again. And the manner in which they were descending...was a complete copy of how Old Zhao would use his hammer when forging weapons.
The mold started shrinking. It became smaller and smaller. Finally, the mold burst apart, revealing several drops of blood essence. One of them was a drop of iron-winged bird blood essence.
Su Yu frowned and said, "I can't promise a 100 percent success rate. Not every single drop of blood essence would be successfully turned into unique blood essence. Let me try them out..."
He swallowed a drop of blood essence.
Su Yu's face turned red and his blood vessels swelled. His body also started trembling. But after a short while, a look of disappointment covered his face as he said, "This drop isn't working."
Zheng Yunhui was getting agitated.
Everyone else was getting agitated as well.
It failed?
"This kid must be fooling everyone." Jia Mingzhen cursed, "If he can produce the special blood essence with this method, I'll eat this table! Is this kid trying to say that this...something like this...is a product of decades of hard work by Hong Tan?"
Everyone was stupefied. This must be fake. What in the world had they just witnessed?
Su Yu swallowed another drop of blood essence. His face turned red again as he absorbed the blood essence's power. After a while, he exhaled and gloomily said, "This isn't working..."
"Are you playing me for a fool?" Zheng Yunhui roared, "Why is it failing again and again? Did you give me a fake formula?"
That was what all the observers were thinking too.
Su Yu frowned, "Why so impatient? There's another drop. I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll produce another set of blood essence..."
"Piss off! This is the end result after spending so many merit points?"
In fact, Zheng Yunhui was starting to get really angry as well. What was Su Yu doing? If he couldn't do it, he shouldn't insist on demonstrating the production method. That way, the others might still be doubtful. But now, it was clear the formula was fake.
"Be patient," Su Yu rolled his eyes, "Different blood essence has different success rate. I'm the most familiar with the iron-winged bird blood essence since I've experimented on it the most. I am confident this drop will be a success."
He then swallowed the final drop of blood essence. This time, his blood vessels were swelling. His expression merely changed slightly. The observers could sense that this time, the blood essence aura on him wasn't as thick as before.
Everyone watched nervously. Suddenly, Su Yu clawed out. Zheng Yunhui was sent flying away. Then, Su Yu grabbed a random chunk of ore and crushed it in his palm.
"Infinite Strength!"
"Rip ability!"
"..."
Everyone was stunned.
It...worked?
It...fucking worked?
That bullshit production method...actually worked?
What the fuck?
Holy shit!
That was a real formula!
...
At the same time, at the top of the Heart Cultivating Pavilion.
An old man spat a mouthful of tea out in shock.
"Are you kidding me?"
Wan Tiansheng was dumbstruck.
Was this a joke?
Did Su Yu think that he was a little child that could be easily scammed?
Su Yu had merely produced a dough from a bunch of random materials before striking it with Old Zhao's smithing technique and pulsing his willpower for a bit. Just like that, he produced a drop of special blood essence?
Was this a joke?
But he was certain that the blood essence was newly purchased. As the principal, he wouldn't see wrongly. If he could be wrong in even something like this, he might as well blind himself.
"I..."
Wan Tiansheng wanted to scold someone, but he had nobody to scold.
Was that the real deal? Wan Tiansheng was completely stupefied. Next, his gaze landed on someone else: Chen Yong. He tried sensing Chen Yong's condition...and he saw the calm Chen Yong smash the teapot on the table before standing up to smash the table apart as well.
Even a calm and collected man like Chen Yong was in complete disbelief. Had his teacher created a second production method? Why wasn't he aware of that? And the second method was...so simple? It was almost like Su Yu was baking some bread instead of producing some blood essence.
Chen Yong was so shocked that he had lost control of himself and broke several items in the room. Wan Tiansheng was stunned to see that. What was going on? Chen Yong was clearly unaware of this production method as well. Chen Yong was just as shocked to see what Su Yu did.
"Is that data...real or fake?"
Suddenly, he recalled something. Previously, when he went to the Mental Tempering Garden, he saw this kid cultivating by consuming blood essence.
"Is it...the effect of a special Divine Character?"
Su Yu had pulsed his Divine Character during the production process! Was that the reason? Everything else he did was an act?
In any case, Wan Tiansheng would not believe that this was the way to produce the unique blood essence. That did not make any sense whatsoever. In fact, it was an insult to Hong Tan. If Hong Tan had spent decades just for something as simple as this...Wan Tiansheng couldn't imagine it.
In fact, even Hong Tan would probably feel like killing himself if this was what he had spent decades of effort pursuing.
"This kid...is a scammer!"
Wan Tiansheng was speechless.
Since Chen Yong was nearby, Wan Tiansheng was sure that this was a scam. Just look at Chen Yong's reaction. That fellow looked like he was starting to doubt his entire life. What could this be if not a scam?
Wan Tiansheng rubbed his chin as he sank into thought. Shortly after, he smiled. Fine, he would allow those fellows to have their fun.
But he had also taken note of all the hidden experts that had appeared today. He snorted. The Myriad Race Cult was most definitely hidden among them as well.
"Whatever. I won't ruin your plan. What can I do if you guys are so poor? But that Zheng kid will probably have a hard time leaving after this..."
Wan Tiansheng would not stop them from buying and selling. But...hehehe, the divine blood essence must be left behind. Su Yu's data was most definitely fake, but the divine blood essence was the real deal.
"I'll continue watching the show and wait to reap the harvest at the end. Nobody will know that I'm the final owner of the divine blood essence."
The treasure had been delivered right into his home. Those fellows were getting involved in an unsanctioned fight and black market transaction. It was well within his rights to seize everything they have.
He was already being very kind by not setting his eyes on their merit points as well. After all, acting was quite tiring too. He had to at least let them earn some money for the performance. If he wiped them clean this time, how was he supposed to earn more from them in the future?
Wan Tiansheng nodded as he told himself that he was a good person. Since those fellows had put so much effort in fighting and acting, he would let them keep their merit points. Ahhh, he was such a nice person.
He reckoned he was the kindest principal to have ever existed.
"I'll make five drops of divine blood essence today. What a profitable day..."
Wan Tiansheng muttered to himself. That was acceptable. He hadn't wasted his time watching this show, after all.
