Chapter 71: Work Hard, Young Man! (3)
“This is good. Their willpower isn’t strong enough. Their willpower was sucked dry in an instant. Their sea of will collapsed and they were doomed!”
Liu Wenyan said seriously, “So, when you feel that you can’t take it anymore and your will is under pressure, give up immediately on strengthening the divine rune! The divine rune and willpower complement each other. It doesn’t matter if your willpower is stronger than the divine rune, but if the divine rune is stronger than your willpower, you will most likely die. Even if you don’t die, you will be crippled!”
Su Yu nodded solemnly.
Previously, he had thought about it and wondered if he could directly suck the air dry after his divine rune becomes stronger…
However, as soon as Liu Wenyan said that, he immediately knew how dangerous it was.
The first time he’d sketched the word “blood,” he’d fought it many times.
Divine runes were powerful, but they could also backfire on him.
“These things are common knowledge. The Great Xia Civilization Academy will teach them. However, you’re a little special. You outlined the divine runes in advance. I’m the only one in the Nanyuan Academy who knows a little about these things. You must come and ask me if there is anything you don’t know. Don’t experiment recklessly.”
Liu Wenyan’s tone was extremely serious. “Don’t experiment recklessly! Also, since you’ve outlined the first divine rune, you might be able to outline the second one. It doesn’t matter, but it must be within your tolerance!”
“When you feel you can’t bear it, even if the Divine rune is floating in front of you, don’t outline it, in case greed kills you!”
“It does not mean that the more divine runes, the better. More means complexity, less means more refined. You can’t even afford to focus on nurturing one, let alone many.”
Su Yu nodded again. This was his teacher’s experience. As a newbie, he had to remember it seriously.
Liu Wenyan continued and told Su Yu everything he knew.
......
He hadn’t taught this in years, but the experience was still there.
Towards the end, Liu Wenyan said regretfully, “After all, I’ve just materialized and have been in the Nanyuan for too long. Actually, I can’t keep up with the times. The times are changing, and the cultivation path is also changing. There are some things that you can only understand in the Great Xia Civilization Academy.”
“For the next month, don’t outline the divine runes. Focus on one. The other is to strengthen your willpower. Willpower is fundamental!”
“I understand, Teacher.”
“And…”
Liu Wenyan hesitated for a moment and thought for a moment. “Your willpower talent is actually ordinary, but you outlined the divine rune very quickly. I don’t know if this is a good thing, but it’s also an extraordinary talent.”
“With your talent, if it’s exposed, you should be able to find a good teacher to nurture you when you reach the Great Xia Civilization Academy.”
“Bai Feng previously said that he wanted to take you in as a student. Previously, I thought that it was your luck, but now… actually, I’m in a very difficult position.”
Su Yu looked puzzled. Liu Wenyan smiled bitterly and said, “I just thought about whether I should tell Bai Feng’s teacher about your situation. If I tell him, he might accept you.”
“But… he might not be better than Bai Feng.”
Liu Wenyan sighed. “He has many students and is very powerful himself, so he might not be in the academy for long. Moreover, he might not have the time to teach you.”
“He’s a civilization master at the Mountain Sea Realm. He will go to the Heavenly Battlefield, to the sea world, and to many places… So the time he can teach you is limited.”
“Even though Bai Feng is only in the Soaring Realm, he will stay in the academy for a longer time at this time. He will be of greater help to you in the early stages. In the later stages… Actually, when you reach the Soaring Realm, his teacher will also guide you because you are considered his grand-disciple. Geniuses will be valued everywhere.”
He was very angry previously, but on second thought, there were some things that he had to consider for Su Yu.
Bai Feng was weaker than his teacher, but he did not have any students. He had been in the high-grade academy for a longer time and could help Su Yu more.
When Su Yu became stronger, as Bai Feng’s student, he would naturally be able to follow Teacher Bai Feng.
Liu Wenyan thought for a moment and slowly said, “Actually… there’s another way! You can become Bai Feng’s teacher and get him to order Bai Feng to guide you as a senior brother… Of course, the premise is that Bai Feng is willing and won’t kill you.”
Su Yu coughed dryly and said with a bitter smile, “Teacher, I think I’ll be beaten to death. Teacher Bai Feng was preparing to take me in as his student, but I suddenly became his junior brother. Isn’t this… a little too much?”
“That’s your own business. Of course, it’s up to you to choose! Actually, Bai Feng can do it too, but this guy… It’s hard to say. He’s going to break through to the seventh level of the Soaring Realm next and is even about to break through to the Cloud Realm. You have to consider carefully. He might not have much time.” Liu Wenyan said indifferently.
Su Yu nodded. That was true.
“There’s no hurry to acknowledge him as your master. They’re not the only researchers at the civilized academy.” Liu Wenyan pondered for a moment before saying, “Don’t tell anyone about the outline of the divine rune. It’s your trump card.”
“You don’t have to show it during the assessment, or you will be considered outlining successfully even if there is one or two strokes. That works too.”
“Civilization Academy, War Academy… No matter which academy it is, it might not be peaceful.”
Liu Wenyan sighed and said, “Su Yu, remember, the human heart is unpredictable! Most of the humans are fighting against the Myriad Races, but it doesn’t mean that everyone is the same. If that was the case, the Myriad Races Sect wouldn’t have been born!”
“There are many sects in the All-Races Sect. Some people hide very deeply. It’s more cost-effective to kill weak geniuses. It’s necessary to expose your talent appropriately! Otherwise, you won’t be valued and nurtured.”
“It’s necessary to hold back!”
Liu Wenyan said solemnly, “Leave a trump card that can save your life! You can show yourself and prove to everyone that you’re worth nurturing, but you must leave some trump cards behind and counterattack at the critical moment!”
“Teacher, I understand!”
Su Yu nodded quickly. He understood that.
“Glad you understand.”
Liu Wenyan was relieved and smiled. “Then go back and cultivate. Also… since you have mastered the divine rune… Follow me to the Windarrest Hall for the following month.”
“Windarrest Hall?”
“That’s right. Even though we defeated the All-Races Sect’s operation last time and killed everyone who came, some of the troublemakers outside the city have escaped. We haven’t caught them all yet.”
“They have the blood of innocent people on their hands. We can’t leave them alive!”
Liu Wenyan looked at him and said slowly, “Move with the Windarrest Hall. Capture them and kill them! I want you to… see blood! You killed one at the academy last time, but that wasn’t enough. I want you not to be nervous about seeing blood before entering the Great Xia Civilization Academy.”
“Civilized Masters also kill. They kill a lot of people. Civilized Masters who don’t kill are the lowest of the low, the most ordinary, the most useless. I don’t want you to become such a person, but a reserve powerhouse who has stepped onto the path of the strong!”
“Everything can be exposed other than outlining the divine rune in a day. You can show off in the assessment and be in the limelight. You can attract the attention of the academy and receive the corresponding treatment. This is what you should do because you don’t have any parents in the Mountain Sea Realm to rely on!”
“Suppress those geniuses from the prefecture city and rise up!”
Liu Wenyan looked at Su Yu with a smile. “I can’t help you much, so… work hard! The harder you work, the greater your gains in the future!”
Su Yu was trembling a little. When his teacher said that, he felt that he was going to be miserable.
