Chapter 385: Genius Bai Feng (2)

Bai Feng said, "In my opinion, the so-called multiple character faction is the supplier of the frame for true Eternal characters. As for what we call the character technique, I don't think that's an apt name. Instead, it should be called..."

He stopped talking. Inwardly, he thought that it should be called racial ability character precursor.

In Bai Feng's mind, their predecessors from hundreds of years ago had already given the human cultural researchers a path toward the Invincible Realm. For some reason, those people from back then had not been able to walk the path until the end. Perhaps their path had been hampered by their characters.

There was already a path for human cultural researchers to reach the Invincible Realm. The multiple character faction was that path. Their predecessors had ultimately failed due to their failure to realize one important thing: the divine and devil characters had been obstructing their progress.

Perhaps the fifth principal had discovered that. After all, from Bai Feng's observations, the inherited character of Liu Wenyan did not have too many divine and devil characters. Around half of the characters were human characters.

Evidently, the fifth principal believed that having human characters as the majority would reduce the repelling force of the divine and devil characters.

Alas, the fifth principal had still failed. Bai Feng believed that the fifth principal's path was not completely hopeless. As long as there were enough human characters, suppressing the repelling force of the divine and devil characters might really be possible. It was a pity that the fifth principal was only one tiny step away from success.

While Bai Feng was thinking, Liu Wenyan said in agitation, "You little bastard! You shouldn't have walked the path of combat! Kid, listen to me. A Skysoar like you is completely useless here. Go back. Return and complete your research. I initially believed that I carry the hope of the multiple character faction. Or maybe it is your teacher. Or maybe even Xia Yunji or the others as they can keep growing stronger.

"But now, I finally understand. We are cultural researchers. What's the point of being a researcher if your only redeeming quality is your strength? What is the point of strength if you ultimately can't even reach the Invincible Realm? My teacher was strong. But he still ended up killed on the battlefield.

"The true strength of a cultural researcher is the constant search for new knowledge. And you have been successful in this aspect. Bai Feng, return.

If Bai Feng could complete and spread his research, everyone would be able to walk the path of multiple characters in a few years. Everyone would be able to cultivate their own character technique. Nobody would be forced to stay below the Skysoar Realm anymore.

In his eyes, Bai Feng had become even more valuable than the fifth principal's character, Hong Tan, and himself. This fellow was the true spark of civilization, not them.

Bai Feng had a smug smile as he said, "Martial Uncle, I told you long ago that I'm a genius. But you never believed me. You even scolded me many times. Now you believe me?"

"Yes, yes..."

Liu Wenyan nodded. He was starting to wonder how this fellow's brain worked. How did he come up with the disassembly method? How inconceivable.

Bai Feng smiled, "Martial Uncle, I still need to thank you for producing such a good student for me. He is one of the reasons why I am able to become such a super genius."

He praised Su Yu. Without Su Yu, he wouldn't have decided to start researching racial ability characters. That could very well be the very first time such a term and idea had ever appeared.

Prior to that, he had only been focused on racial abilities and ability blood essence, with the research on blood essence being something that had started since Hong Tan's generation.

"Su Yu?"

"Yeah." Bai Feng nodded, "Martial Uncle, forget about that. Why are you chasing me away? It's not like we're going to lose for sure. I plan to separate your characters into two different systems. One is formed by human characters and the other is formed by the other characters.

"Keep your human characters while the other characters can be used for temporary boosts of power or anything else you want. You even have the so-called Eternal characters among them so they are very strong. You might even be able to kill a Sunmoon with them.

"Of course, after that, you will only have human characters so your strength will probably drop."

Bai Feng smiled, "Just like my swords. If I destroy my stronger sword, my strength will also drop greatly. I will also suffer serious injuries. But I believe that I will gain an even brighter future in exchange.

"I might even drop from the eighth to the third or fourth stage doing this, but that doesn't matter."

Bai Feng looked at Liu Wenyan and said, "Martial Uncle, this inherited character can be considered a true Eternal character. Only those in the Invincible Realm can possess such powerful characters. After I remove the non-human characters, the inherited character will probably drop to around Sunmoon Realm, but that's fine. Your remaining characters will be purer and you will have a brighter future."

Liu Wenyan frowned and asked, "How long do you need for the removal?"

"Uhm, these characters are too strong. I will need a few months to slowly separate them. Or I can join hands with my teacher. He might know nothing, but I can guide him."

Bai Feng had a smug look when he talked about how he was going to guide his own teacher. In terms of technical ability, Hong Tan was still quite capable as he had also been researching Divine Characters for many years.

"A few months..."

Liu Wenyan frowned deeply. That was too long.

He thought about it and said, "Then can we delay the clean removal for now and do enough to let me unleash a part of the inherited character's strength?"

Bai Feng sank into thought. After a long while, he said, "Yes. But if we do so, you might accidentally destroy some of the human characters as well. And I'm referring to the ones you have formed yourself. Thus, you might need to spend even more time forming characters after the clean removal."

"That's not an issue." Liu Wenyan said, "Over these years, I have formed too many characters, to the point I can no longer withstand their pressure. It doesn't matter if I have to crush some of them."

"..."

Bai Feng was suddenly speechless. That was true. His martial uncle's sea of willpower was filled with countless characters. His scalp had gone numb when he first saw that.

Liu Wenyan asked, "Are you sure you're not leaving? Kid, if your discovery is lost, then this would be too big of a loss. For your discovery, even the entire multiple character faction can be sacrificed for now..."

Bai Feng smiled, "I have yet to perfect the results. Also, I am thinking about something else. Can we actually destroy the existing characters in the character technique before replacing them with new characters? I need more tests to clarify this. And I am the best test subject to verify this."

"You're also an excellent test subject, Martial Uncle." Bai Feng smiled, "I am only a Skysoar. But the characters in your inherited character are far stronger. We will only have a better idea after experimenting with your inherited character. This is a sacrifice we are making for the truth!"

Bai Feng's eyes turned fanatical again as he said, "Martial Uncle, don't worry. I already left all my data with Su Yu. Of course, that little scoundrel might not attach too much importance to it. But that will change after we're all dead.

"If we end up dying, he will have to continue the research himself. If we don't die, we can use ourselves as test subjects and confirm whether my theory is correct."

Liu Wenyan said nothing. He sank into deep thought. Disassembling a character technique, adding new characters at the Skysoar Realm, the low repelling force of human characters...

These new discoveries had caused him to recall a lot of things.

Suddenly, he transmitted his voice, "You might be right."

"Hmm?"

"When your grandteacher was still alive, he once told me that human characters might be weak, but they are much more suitable for humans. And to step on the path of Invincible, we might need to utilize humanity's own power instead of borrowing the power of the other races."

He continued transmitting his voice, "Your grandteacher also said that he had been doubtful about one thing. Why do myriad race willpower texts last longer than human willpower texts? Perhaps that's an issue of skill, but it doesn't make sense that the human race is the only race lacking this skill.

"He once investigated the origin of willpower text creation. He found that this method of creating willpower texts originated from the first divine race, a sub-race of the divine race. And the human race is the only race without the method of creating long-lasting texts."

Bai Feng blinked in confusion.

But soon, he thought of something and asked doubtfully, "Martial Uncle, you mean that the first divine race has intentionally spread the willpower text creation method to the various races to set a trap for us? That way, the human race will find that the willpower texts we obtain from the myriad races can be preserved for a longer time. Slowly, the human race will start neglecting the creation of their own willpower texts and rely on external sources?"

Liu Wenyan shook his head. He wasn't denying that line of thought. He was merely expressing his doubt. He wasn't sure as well.

If that was the case, then it could only mean that the divine race or maybe the first divine race had long known that the human race required human characters to reach the Invincible Realm. This was a trap they had set a long time ago for the human race.

Was the human race even worth the effort?

Probably.

After all, the human race was also a top 10 race. The only regret was the fact that human cultural researchers couldn't enter the Invincible Realm through willpower cultivation. In certain situations, warrior Invincibles were not as effective as cultural researcher Invincibles.

Liu Wenyan exhaled lightly, "Don't worry about all that. Since you believe you're on the right path, keep walking down this path. Back then, your grandteacher must have thought of something similar. What a pity that...Sigh."

What a pity that the fifth principal had still failed to discover more and attempted his breakthrough with only half his characters being human characters and the other half being divine and devil characters.

"Since you're not leaving, help me suppress the resistance of the inherited character and allow me to actually utilize it temporarily. Can you do that?"

"I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee anything."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, "Bai Feng, come out!"

Bai Feng's expression changed.

He started cursing, "Damn that dog! Shit! He's here! Martial Uncle, This is troublesome!"

"Xia Yuwen?"

"Yeah." Liu Wenyan's face changed as he said, "My offer stands. I can get Wu Yuehua to escort you back to the academy. If they touch you in the academy, Wan Tiansheng will get involved."

Bai Feng clenched his teeth and said, "No. Since he is already here, I am going to face him once! That damn bastard has always believed that I am afraid of him. Even if I have to ruin my Dragon Slaying Sword today, I will still make him suffer. Arrogant little shit!"

Liu Wenyan looked at him and said, "Have you guessed that he would be here? You're planning to test your disassembled Dragon Slaying Sword on him, right?"

Bai Feng had an embarrassed look.

Definitely not! That was definitely not true!

But since he was already planning to destroy one of his swords to make space for new characters, he needed a good reason to do it, right? He was still somewhat unwilling to just crush the characters that he had spent so many years cultivating without getting anything out of it.

He wouldn't be able to do much to Mountainseas.

Using it against Skysoars would be a waste.

As for Cloudbreach cultivators, there weren't even that many of them that were worth destroying his sword to defeat.

Even though he was trying to get rid of the characters in that sword, he still needed to extract some value out of it, right? Thus, he spent a long time thinking about a perfect target. He thought of a few people. And one of them was Xia Yuwen.

When he issued his challenge earlier and set a limit of third-stage Cloudbreach Realm and below, he was basically trying to bait these worthy targets out.

"Martial Uncle, my main Divine Character is also inside the stronger Dragon Slaying Sword. After destroying it..."

Some fear creeped into Bai Feng's voice as he said, "If the backlash kills me, you must stay alive. Remember to pass my research results to Su Yu. Tell that kid to pass on my teachings..."

Saying that reminded him of something. He hurriedly took out his communicator and called Su Yu.

The moment the call connected, he said, "My previous guess is probably right. Is there anyone around you right now?"

"Nope."

"Good. Remember to study the data I left for you. Also, if I really end up dying, try to strip my characters out of my character technique and turn them into Marks of Culture. Maybe I can get lucky and leave something behind after death."

Su Yu realized something and asked, "Teacher, have you encountered trouble?"

"It's not too bad."

"A Mountainsea?"

"No, it's a dumbass. I'm only making this call to be safe. Perhaps that dumbass will be the one to eat a loss later."

"...Xia Yuwen?"

"Oh? You know him?"

"I saw him once. I wiped the floor with his student."

"Well done! After this, I'll be wiping the floor with him! Bye!"

"..."

The call ended. Bai Feng smiled, "Martial Uncle, I'm ready!"

Liu Wenyan asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I don't verify this. I wouldn't dare to draw a conclusion without actually testing it out. What if the character technique would actually fade away after I crush these unwanted characters?"

Bai Feng sternly said, "I don't have any proof that my theory is actually right. Someone needs to give it a try. If I spread this theory before confirming it, I might ruin the future of many people."

Liu Wenyan sank into silence. Outside the room, an imposing aura erupted.

"Bai Feng, I am waiting for you."

The shout rang out again.

Liu Wenyan frowned. "Xia Family...this person is from Yunji's line. What happened to this line? Why are they acting like this now?"

Xia Yunji was the younger brother of Vice Principal Xia Changqing. And Xia Yuwen was Xia Changqing's grandson. Thus, Xia Yuwen and Xia Yunji were actually from the same line.

Bai Feng indifferently said, "This fellow has always been so arrogant. He lacks beating and doesn't understand how cruel reality is. Martial Uncle, I'll handle him."

"Take care."

Liu Wenyan sighed. He suddenly transmitted his voice, "Protect Bai Feng. Make sure he survives. At worst, we can just throw all caution to the wind and fight it out with them. If that garbage Hong Tan doesn't arrive before then, we'll consider him dead."

Outside the room, the eyes of the Mountainseas flickered with an odd look. That Hong Tan...sure was slow!
