Chapter 453: First Meeting With Wan Tiansheng (2)
While both Liu Hong and Elder Sun were feeling greatly troubled, Su Yu was having a lot of fun.
Using multiple smurf accounts was a lot of fun!
This invitation to Liu Hong and the creation of the so-called Single Eradication Club was merely a random idea of his after taking references from the situation the multiple character faction was in.
Due to the potential existence of an Invincible traitor, the multiple character faction had to live while in doubt of everyone. They had to worry about every single Invincible in existence. And they didn't even dare to make their suspicions public because they were afraid of attracting even more trouble and attention from the hidden enemy.
In short, they were living an uncomfortable life. Based on that, Su Yu created the Single Eradication Club to both annoy the single character faction and act as a cover for the Mutual Aid Club.
The usage of voice transmission talismans was quite widespread in the academy. But it was less widespread among the students. The moment people like Lin Yao were found using these talismans, people would start suspecting that something was off.
Su Yu had even decided to give out thousands of voice transmission talismans to the students in the academy.
These talismans weren't cheap, but he could get his grandteacher and martial uncle to help with the money. He only needed a few hundred merit points and they could provide him with that much money easily.
After spreading the talismans among the students, the members of the Mutual Aid Club would look far more inconspicuous with voice transmission talismans. He would also cause the single character faction to suspect everyone of being a member of the Single Eradication Club. That would be really amusing.
He would torture those fellows with doubt and suspicion. He would make them doubt everyone. Would they dare to investigate the voice transmission talisman of everyone in the academy? Not even the Discipline Hall was authorized to check everyone's talisman.
The actual members of the Mutual Aid Club were connected to an entirely different system. The Single Eradication Club was merely a toy for him. He would probably spend about ten minutes or so per day creating countless smurf accounts to chat with the fools he had invited into the Single Eradication Club.
He would just consider the time he spent as his daily relaxation period.
Liu Hong was already a member of this Single Eradication Club. If Elder Sun was interested, Su Yu wouldn't mind recruiting Elder Sun and having some chat with him through his smurf accounts either.
"I am such a genius."
Su Yu couldn't help but praise himself smugly. This little plan of his might even work. It could potentially cause chaos among the single character faction members. They would start suspecting everyone of being their enemy.
With this plan, not only was he able to sow confusion among them, he could also cover up the existence of the Mutual Aid Club. Additionally, Su Yu also had other plans in mind. He had been getting more and more annoyed with the single character faction recently. He had successfully broken the spine of their younger generation, but he was sure that those at the Skysoar Realm and beyond would not stop giving them trouble.
"The best way to stop these troubles is to eliminate the root of these troubles. But the root isn't in the academy. Instead, the root is somewhere else..."
Su Yu sighed. There wasn't anything he could do about that. He still wasn't strong enough. All those were still too far from him, including the affairs of those at the Skysoar Realm. Fortunately, there was a big guy in the academy preventing all these people from going crazy.
Su Yu knew very well that Wan Tiansheng was the sole protection he had in the academy. Without Wan Tiansheng, someone like him who had offended people like Elder Sun repeatedly would have been slapped to death long ago.
As a mere Mental Tempering Stage student, he dared to provoke a Mountainsea? They would simply slap him to death and that would be the end of the matter.
"The big guy is my one true shield in the academy!"
As for Hong Tan, that grandteacher of his was indeed strong. But not strong enough to suppress the single character faction. Even after Teacher Liu demonstrated the strength to defeat a Sunmoon, that was still not enough to keep the single character faction at bay.
The single character faction was not weak.
Su Yu straightened his clothes, ensuring that he was clad in a neat white outfit with a gentle smile on his face, giving him the correct appearance a cultural researcher should have before walking toward the Heart Cultivating Pavilion.
Ahh, his beloved Principal Wan was probably still awake. He wondered what business the mighty and incredible Principal Wan had with him. The great Principal Wan was such a busy person yet he had actually spared some of his time on a puny student? Su Yu felt greatly honored.
Su Yu started madly praising the principal in his mind.
Yes. This was the mindset he needed to maintain. He still remembered how Xia Xiao'er had knocked him unconscious after sensing him talking trash about the fatty in his mind. What an asshole!
...
Heart Cultivating Pavilion.
Wan Tiansheng did not have his own villa. Instead of staying anywhere else, he stayed in the Heart Cultivating Pavilion itself. That was what all the past principals had done as well.
With 36 floors, the Heart Cultivating Pavilion was a tall building. In fact, it was the tallest building in the academy. Wan Tiansheng lived on the 35th floor instead of the top floor. A group of academy guards could be seen in front of the Heart Cultivating Pavilion.
The academy guards were actually quite strong. Even though Su Yu couldn't see through their strength, he could see that even the weakest among the guards here were at the Skysoar Realm. Perhaps there were even some Cloudbreach experts among them.
The guard on duty went over Su Yu's credentials and talked to someone through his communicator. Before long, he nodded and said, "You may enter. Do not roam around randomly. Just follow the stairs and walk until the very end and you will reach the principal's office."
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
Su Yu had a bashful look on his face. The guards merely glanced at him silently and said nothing.
Wan Tiansheng would rarely meet a student. They didn't know what business the principal had with this student here. Of course, they also knew very well that it wasn't their place to question the principal's intentions.
Su Yu...they were familiar with this name. This kid might look innocent with that smile, but this kid was definitely not some pushover. He could be very ruthless when doing something.
...
Su Yu started climbing the stairs.
He did not stay at any particular spot. He simply walked while singing the principal praises in his mind. But as he walked, he suddenly felt like he had walked into a different world.
His vision swam. Suddenly, he found himself back outside the Heart Cultivating Pavilion. But everything was no longer the same. He was faced with crumbling buildings and dilapidated walls.
The Great Xia Cultural Research Academy had changed. Corpses littered the ground and rivers of blood ran through the academy. All around him, one student after another was fleeing in fear. His expression changed repeatedly. Was this an illusion?
There was no other answer for this. Just a short moment ago, the academy was still perfectly fine. The academy was also filled with experts. How could this much damage be done in such a short period of time?
Right that moment, a booming sound came from the sky.
Su Yu's expression changed.
In the sky, people like Chen Yong, Hong Tan, and Bai Feng appeared one after another.
Kill!
Slaughter.
Hong Tan was carrying out a massacre. Chen Yong was doing the same. Bai Feng was doing so as well.
And...he was also there, doing the same.
Su Yu's expression changed completely.
He was also partaking in the slaughter. He could even see that he was the core of all these people. Or to be precise, he was the one who had initiated the slaughter, forcing the other members of the multiple character faction to make a stand as well.
Bang!
Sounds of explosions rang out everywhere. Corpses rained down from the sky. And blood splashed all over the academy.
In the sky, Su Yu was clad in the same white outfit he always wore. But the white outfit was already stained red with blood. He was busy killing the fleeing students and researchers.
Right that moment, a palm as big as the sky itself appeared and descended.
Bang!
Su Yu's vision swam yet again. He recovered from his stupor and found himself faced with a door. The door swung open by itself. Beyond the door was a room. At the very end of the room was a large window. In front of the window was a chair. And seated on the chair was an old man with a book in his hand. The old man was looking at Su Yu with a smile on his face.
As for Su Yu, his attention was caught by the old man's hand. That...was the exact same palm he had seen in the illusion. The palm that had dropped down from the sky to kill all of them. His heart trembled.
He didn't dare to ask any questions. Instead, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Principal."
"Be at ease."
With a calm voice, Wan Tiansheng said, "Did you see that?"
"Yeah."
"That is the future."
Wan Tiansheng said, "One future. One possibility out of a myriad possibilities. One possible path the future might take. But also the path that is most likely to happen in accordance to your current mental state. Of course, everyone will see a different future in that illusion. What you saw might not be the same as what I saw. But what you saw was most definitely what you wished for the most. So are you happy with what you saw?"
Su Yu did not say anything.
Was that really his future?
How was this possible?
He had turned into a butcher, reaping countless lives in the academy before being killed himself?
And he had even led his grandteacher and teacher down the same path?
That was his future?
No!
He refused to believe that!
Wan Tiansheng said, "That is only one of the myriad possibilities. Don't worry about it too much."
"Principal, were you the one who showed me the future?"
"Not really. That corridor you walked through, it has always been a mystical corridor. Generations of principals have resided here. Numerous Mountainseas and Sunmoons have walked that corridor. It won't affect us that much, but you're too weak so you might end up seeing something when you walk that corridor."
Wan Tiansheng smiled.
Su Yu looked at the principal silently. The principal looked like a friendly and kind old man.
The principal had long, white hair, clad in a green robe, a book in his hand, and a pair of eyes filled with wisdom.
Wan Tiansheng also spent some time looking at Su Yu. After a while, he smiled, "A cause will always be followed by an effect. This is the cycle of karma. Do you understand?"
