Teacher Is Truly Formidable!

Research Center. Su Yu quietly recovered his willpower. After a long while, his willpower was fully restored. By now, it was already the night of the third. According to the schedule, he should have fed the great demons today, but Su Yu was not in the mood. It had only been three days; they wouldn't starve to death. What was the rush? He stood up and pressed a button on the wall. After a moment, footsteps sounded from the basement. With stubble on his face, dark circles under his eyes, and hair like a bird's nest, Bai Feng walked out. He looked at Su Yu, his eyes still somewhat glazed over. "Something up?" Su Yu felt a headache coming on! How had his teacher turned into such a ghostly wreck? Not dashing in the slightest, totally at odds with the cultured, elegant image in his mind. "Teacher, I want to conduct research!" "What?" Bai Feng stared blankly at him. "Conduct research?" "Yes!" "But..." Bai Feng scratched his hair and said, "Before reaching the Tengkong Realm, your top priority is cultivation. What research could you possibly do? Leave it until Tengkong..." Doing research was a huge time sink! Wasting so much time before reaching Tengkong was not a good idea. Even in his own case, it was only after reaching Tengkong that he had focused the bulk of his energy on this. Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's like this, Teacher. Didn't our Research Center research and produce a drop of Soul-Devouring Insect innate blood essence? It seems someone has their eyes on us now, so it would be best if we could produce the actual technique..." Bai Feng was utterly confused! What on earth? What are you babbling about? Every word makes sense, yet why can't I understand what you mean? What do you mean, our Research Center researched and produced a drop of Soul-Devouring Insect innate blood essence... He stared at Su Yu, in a daze. Su Yu said helplessly, "Teacher, didn't you say you'd cover for me? You told me that if I used an innate skill, I should just claim you researched it. Well, haven't I recently used the Soul-Devouring Insect's Soul Devour innate skill? And so... you need to cover for me!" "..." Bai Feng remained in a stupor. Motherfucker, I haven't come out for only a few days, and the moment I do, you dump such an enormous black pot on me! Are you even human? Bai Feng finally cleared his head a bit, rubbed his temples, and said with a developing headache, "Is this about the 'Blood' divine character? You swallowed Soul-Devouring Insect blood essence, unleashed Soul Devour, got spotted, and people think it involves a willpower-based martial skill, so they're looking to give you trouble?" "Pretty much!" Su Yu nodded! Teacher was still very sharp. Look, with just that messy sentence, he had figured it all out. Truly brilliant! Teacher, you have to solve the problem now! Bai Feng was somewhat speechless and snapped irritably, "Soul Devour isn't a willpower innate skill. It merely attaches a layer of burning, corrosive special Yuanqi beyond willpower—it counts as a Yuanqi skill! Motherfucker, can't those people even tell a Yuanqi skill from a willpower skill?" "..." Su Yu was genuinely surprised and looked at Bai Feng in astonishment. He had used Soul Devour himself, so he knew that Soul Devour truly wasn't a willpower martial skill, but a Yuanqi martial skill. Yet Bai Feng actually knew this too! One had to realize that even Chen Yong thought it was a willpower-related innate skill. "Teacher, how did you know?" "Nonsense!" Bai Feng complained, "How many kinds of blood essence have I tested over the years? Soul-Devouring Insects are so peculiar—how could I not have tested them? Your grandmaster even caught some Soul-Devouring Insects back then. I personally experienced being sprayed by Soul-Devouring fluid and having my willpower corroded, but it really is a mutation of Yuanqi..." Bai Feng explained, "If an innate skill like Soul Devour could be developed and given to warriors to use, it would be massive trouble for Civilization Masters! It can mutate one's Yuanqi, drastically lowering the difficulty of killing Civilization Masters!" Su Yu nodded. Exactly! He was truly a little amazed. Teacher actually knew quite a lot. Bai Feng sat down, shot him a look, and pointed at the teapot in front of him. Where's your tact, boy! Su Yu chuckled and hurried over to boil water. Bai Feng didn't mind. He yawned and continued, "I once spent several months researching Soul Devour as well. Back then, my idea was: could this innate skill be converted into a human martial skill? Which apertures would need to be opened? Could it cause Yuanqi to mutate and become targeted against willpower..." Then Bai Feng shook his head. "Later, I found it was simply too difficult! That thing, the Soul-Devouring Insect, is just a bug! Its physical structure is vastly different from the human body. I dissected dozens of those bugs and found nothing..." While fetching water, Su Yu murmured faintly, "Teacher, I was thinking about an issue you might have overlooked." "What?" "I am human!" "Bullshit!" Bai Feng rolled his eyes. As if I didn't know you're human? What's so great about being human? The next moment... Bai Feng suddenly sprang to his feet! The look in his eyes changed drastically. His mind was now completely awake. Pointing at Su Yu, utterly dumbfounded, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He opened his mouth again, and after a long silence, roared at the top of his lungs, "You are human!" Yes, Su Yu was human! Did I miss something monumental?! Holy fuck! I've been thinking about waiting until he reached Tengkong before researching his divine character, so why didn't I ever think about the fact that he's a human! Holy shit! He's human! ... Watching Bai Feng lose his mind, Su Yu felt helpless. I knew it would be like this! Teacher's brain, sometimes... not that I, as his student, look down on him, but it really is a bit... a bit off. Didn't you know I was human? It's been so long, and you only realize it now? Soon, Bai Feng exclaimed in delight, "You're human! So when you use an innate skill, do you open certain apertures and directly unleash the innate skill?" As he spoke, he suddenly frowned. "Wait, no, wasn't yours activated by a divine character? Aren't you relying on the power of the blood essence and directly using the divine character to execute the innate skill?" Now it was Su Yu's turn to be speechless. That was true; what he had always told his teacher was that he converted innate skills using the divine character. Thinking of this, Su Yu gave a light cough and said, "Teacher, the divine character acts as an intermediary system. It transfers the power of the blood essence and turns it into a special energy that opens temporary apertures to erupt with the innate skill. So it still opens those apertures." Bai Feng was shaken to his core! He hurriedly asked, "Is it like that for every innate skill?" "It should be." "We're done for!" Su Yu was baffled. Bai Feng cried out in panic, "Fuck! If word of your situation leaks out, you're a dead man! The myriad races will tear you to shreds! As long as you can unleash their innate skills, all their cultivation techniques are leaked, and none of their secrets remain! You'll be absolutely dead!" "Even your grandmaster wouldn't be able to protect you!" "Kid, are you for real? Weren't you only able to convert it using a divine character? How did it suddenly turn into opening temporary apertures?!" "..." Bai Feng was genuinely terrified! Previously, he had truly believed it could only be activated by the divine character, utilizing the residual innate skill energy inside the blood essence—because that was how the Research Center's blood essence worked. It didn't open apertures in oneself to unleash a martial skill. Rather, it borrowed the blood essence's power and the residual innate skill imprint within the blood essence to replicate a skill once; it wasn't unleashed through oneself. What Su Yu had was entirely different from the Research Center's! The Research Center's was replicating a skill and discharging it in one go, equivalent to a one-time divine talisman. Whereas Su Yu's was equivalent to obtaining a manufacturing blueprint! It could allow one to slowly open the apertures, complete the cultivation, and solidify it into one's own skill! The two were completely different! With a face full of shock, Bai Feng stared at Su Yu. He had previously thought he would never be shocked by this student of his again; reality proved he had been overoptimistic. Swallowing hard, Bai Feng's gaze shifted. "Does anyone know you can open apertures?" Su Yu shook his head. "They shouldn't. Because I've opened a lot of apertures, they won't necessarily know which apertures I'm opening." "Bullshit! You've opened so few apertures! Anyone with sharp eyes could easily see that you opened temporary apertures..." Su Yu scratched his head and said dryly, "That should be rather hard, right? Teacher, I've opened 153 apertures. With a few more or a few less, would they really be able to tell?" "..." Bai Feng blinked. What does that mean? Aren't you only at the Qianjun Fifth Layer? What do you mean, 153 apertures? Su Yu continued, "So even if I open some temporary apertures in front of them, unless they conduct an in-depth probe into whether each of my apertures is truly opened, they shouldn't know they were opened temporarily, right?" "Hold on!" Bai Feng interrupted him and glared at him. "What 153 apertures? Make that clear to me!" Su Yu felt a bit guilty inside, but kept an innocent expression on his face. "Teacher, you didn't know? I remember telling you last time. You asked me how my progress was, and I said I had made great progress!" "Did you?" Bai Feng thought back. Did he? Did I ask that? "So..." He looked at Su Yu. Su Yu nodded. "So I've opened 153 apertures. I'm at the Qianjun Ninth Layer now, and I've also opened some other apertures to practice martial skills." "153..." Bai Feng murmured. Looking at Su Yu, he really couldn't keep up his composure this time. He swallowed hard and asked, "What date is it today... no, what year and month?" "Anping Year 350, the night of October third!" "You've been enrolled for two months?" "Yes." "When you enrolled, you were at Kaiyuan Ninth Layer?" "Yes!" Bai Feng nodded and calmed down. In fact, he was no longer surprised! Two months—no, just over two months, sixty-three days. A total of 153 apertures opened. Su Yu had opened some apertures before, so call it 140 apertures opened in two months. "Not even three a day?" Bai Feng murmured, looked at Su Yu, took a deep breath, and recovered his smile. "Not bad. Turns out it's not even three apertures a day!" Su Yu was a bit alarmed. Had Teacher lost his mind? What did he mean, not even three a day? Not even three... was that normal? Bai Feng scratched his head, as if he had adapted and grown used to it. He waved his hand and said, "Never mind that, it's just a hundred-odd apertures! Back to the innate skills—when you unleashed it, none of the outsiders noticed anything, right?" "There shouldn't be. Teacher, isn't the blood essence from our Research Center like that?" "No!" Saying so, Bai Feng thought for a moment, fished out a bottle from his robes, and tossed it to Su Yu. "This is Fire Swine blood essence, containing the innate skill Ram. Try it!" Su Yu didn't hesitate. He poured out a drop of blood essence and swallowed it. In the next moment, Su Yu let out a pained, muffled roar! A powerful surge of energy erupted within his body! His body swelled in size, ripping his clothes. A sudden glimmer of comprehension struck Su Yu's mind, and he charged headfirst at Bai Feng! Boom! With a loud crash, Bai Feng slapped Su Yu away with a palm and smiled. "How does it feel?" Plastered against the wall, Su Yu waited for the blood essence's energy to gradually deplete. Completely exhausted, he said, "So that's how it is! The blood essence provides me with power, and a vague impression appears in my mind telling me what to do. Then, following that memory, I can unleash the Ram innate skill!" "Precisely!" Su Yu smiled wryly. So... it really wasn't like his! He had thought that the Research Center's innate blood essence also opened temporary apertures to unleash skills. So that was how it worked! No wonder! He had wondered: if it could open temporary apertures, then reasonably speaking, Bai Feng should have known many supreme skills of the myriad races. Turns out it wasn't like that at all! Bai Feng looked at him helplessly. "Now you know how much trouble it is that you can open temporary apertures? Kid, stop using blood essence! I want to live. If the experts of the myriad races found out about this, believe it or not, dozens of Invincibles would come to kill you!" It's completely doomed! You can actually simulate other races' innate skills! If they don't kill you, who the fuck would they kill?! He remembered that the first time Su Yu used an innate skill in front of him, it wasn't like this! Thinking of this, Bai Feng said with a headache, "I remember that last time you used the Ironwing Bird's innate skill, you didn't open temporary apertures, did you?" Su Yu shook his head. "I did. It opened some apertures in my arms, but back then, you were solely focused on the divine character, Teacher, so you didn't notice." Bai Feng thought about it, and that seemed right! Back then, all he remembered was being shocked and astounded by the divine character! He hadn't even thought about the fact that Su Yu's activation method was different from the Research Center's; he had only remembered to slice him open once he reached Tengkong! Bai Feng sighed helplessly. "Seems true enough. Back then, I was only thinking about slicing you into pieces once you hit Tengkong..." "Cough, cough!" Su Yu coughed dryly! That's going too far! Thinking about it in private is one thing, Teacher, but is it really appropriate to say it out loud? Bai Feng couldn't be bothered with him. Ever since stepping out, his head had been pounding, and right now his brain felt like complete mush. The Soul-Devouring Insect trouble had to be dealt with. Not only was Su Yu at the Qianjun Ninth Layer, but he had also opened many apertures beyond that. His innate skill eruption was completely different from what he had envisioned. If word spread, from then on, Invincibles from the myriad races might come hunting them down! And... what else was there? Bai Feng rubbed his head. Sleep-deprived, his brain truly felt like porridge, and he said groggily, "Any other trouble? Come on, spit it all out in one go. I can take it!" Su Yu looked at him cautiously for a moment, then ventured tentatively, "I defeated Yang Sha!" "Who?" "Liu Hong's eldest disciple!" "Oh." He didn't think much of it. "I also defeated Liu He, Liu Hong's younger brother." "Oh... wait, you made it onto the Top 100 Rankings?" Bai Feng caught on! His gaze turned increasingly strange. You entered the Top 100... wait, no, you're at the Qianjun Ninth Layer; entering the Top 100 is completely normal! Thinking this, he calmed down. "Anything else?" "Yes. And then... on the side, I sparred with Huang Qifeng... that guy who severely injured Senior Sister. I beat him into a cripple..." "Oh. Crippled is crippled, so long as you didn't break any rules!" "And then... then his teacher, Elder Zheng, seemed about to strike me, but Principal Wan crushed him and punished him by exiling him to the All-Heavens Battlefield, forbidding him from returning until he kills a Shanhai!" Bai Feng felt like he was going to explode! He could no longer stay calm. Staring at Su Yu, grimacing, he slumped after a long pause and said dejectedly, "Incredible! What a relief! No, I have to go to the All-Heavens Battlefield to find your grandmaster. Otherwise, if you're done for, I'm going to be done for too!" He felt he couldn't shoulder this! Thinking of this, he looked at Su Yu again, sounding somewhat pathetic: "Am I the last person to know? This morning, I felt an earth-shattering aura erupt—was that when it happened?" "Probably... yes!" "So the whole academy probably knows, and I'm only finding out just now?" "Probably... yes!" "I think... you're ready to graduate!" Bai Feng was truly about to blow a gasket. "Kid, I'm only at the Tengkong Realm! Are you trying to drive your teacher to an early grave?!" Su Yu said dryly, "Teacher, I'm not finished yet." "You..." Bai Feng was thoroughly drained. He collapsed onto the sofa and muttered weakly, "Go on!" "Just now, Principal Wan suddenly intruded with his willpower. While I was inside the Research Center, he suddenly dragged my willpower over to where he was, and told me to go meet him." "Fuck!" Bai Feng suddenly erupted into curses, "This is a private research institute! Doesn't he know the rules?! That Wan bastard has gone too far! Believe it or not, I'll go to the Yuqiang Department to file a complaint against him!" In name, the Yuqiang Department was still in charge of the Great Xia Academy. All academies were under their jurisdiction. Having said that, his eyes focused, snapping completely awake. "Wait, how did he break in? The defenses set up by your grandmaster—even if they couldn't stop a peak Shanhai, there's no way anyone could slip in silently!" The look in his eyes shifted as he turned to Su Yu. "Are you sure you were dragged away by him from right here?" "Mm!" "Holy crap!" Bai Feng couldn't stop cursing tonight, and he blurted out once again, "That old thieving dog... cough, cough, did that old... old principal reach Sun and Moon?" "Sun and Moon?" Su Yu was surprised. Wan Tiansheng was in the Sun and Moon Realm? "Very likely!" Bai Feng frowned. "Otherwise, it makes no sense that he bypassed your grandmaster's defenses so easily—unless he's reached the Sun and Moon Realm!" "Never mind him!" Bai Feng couldn't be bothered to ponder it further; the more he thought, the more his head ached. "Anything else?" "Yes..." Su Yu said softly, "Teacher, I also accidentally acquired a martial skill." "Oh." This time Bai Feng actually felt relieved. A minor matter! "Heaven Rank!" "Not bad." "Mid-grade Heaven Rank, the kind that opens 132 apertures..." Bai Feng glanced at him and said indifferently, "Just a martial skill. What's the big deal about mid-grade Heaven Rank? What are you showing off for? The Quest Realm and the War God Hall aren't lacking in such things! Which of those old ghosts doesn't have one? If you really compare it, your teacher's Dragon Slaying Sword battle technique isn't inferior to a Heaven Rank martial skill either!" Having weathered great storms, why would he care about this? Even though it was very impressive! Still... compared to the news before it, what was this worth! Su Yu looked at him cautiously and murmured almost inaudibly, "It was found in the *Seeking the Secluded in Mountains and Seas Scroll* that you sold." Bang! Bai Feng kicked over the tea table. Hastily picking the items back up, he swallowed hard and shouted, "Nonsense! I didn't sell it—it was stolen!" Then, breaking down slightly, he asked, "Really? You found it inside the *Seeking the Secluded in Mountains and Seas Scroll*?" "Mm, the Suanni told me. It got it by accident!" "Your grandmaster... when your grandmaster returns, he will hack the Suanni to death! Kid, don't say a word! If you tell him, that Suanni is dead meat!" Even Bai Feng shivered at the thought! Had that fellow the Suanni ever imagined being hacked to death? No, skinned and de-sinewed bit by bit by Hong Tan, who would wear a demonic smile while the beast died in agonizing pain. You teased him for decades—you might as well have kept quiet forever! To reveal it to his grand-disciple now was an utter slap in the face! When Teacher gets back, he will murder you! Su Yu smiled wryly as well. That seemed right. That idiot Suanni... truly pitiable. A moment of silence for it. Bai Feng couldn't be bothered to ask more. He said feebly, "Let's set aside the rest for now. As for the Soul Devour innate skill... I'll figure something out. I tried researching Soul-Devouring Insect innate blood essence before, but the difficulty was rather high back then, so I abandoned it. "I've had some new discoveries recently. Let me see if I can produce a Soul Devour innate skill blood essence." Bai Feng was no fool; one look was all he needed to know where the trouble lay. He said, "Get the technique sorted out. If all else fails, hand it over to the academy or the Quest Realm to handle—as long as they pay us! If worse comes to worst, we can also sell some of the blood essence so they understand this thing isn't actually a willpower innate skill!" Bai Feng cursed, "A bunch of idiots who can't tell a Yuanqi skill from a willpower martial skill! Sell a few drops of blood essence; once they see it's not a willpower innate skill, they'll probably drop it. After all, this creature is merely a peculiar species, and its overall strength is mediocre. Unless there are tens of thousands of them, its corrosive capability has barely any effect on the Tengkong Realm." Su Yu felt relieved! Sometimes, Teacher was quite dependable after all! Look at that: a major headache, resolved. Sure enough, getting Teacher to take the fall had been the right choice. Ignoring his thoughts, Bai Feng continued, "As for Zheng Yuming... pay him no heed! Once he's on the All-Heavens Battlefield, he won't be able to stir up any waves! Crippling Huang Qifeng—now that's a bit of minor trouble. Handle that yourself! "As for the Heaven Rank martial skill, usually the original owner might still be alive. If they're alive, it's not easy to pass on, so just practice it yourself. Most human-inherited martial skills that include a willpower text have living creators, because the inheritance doesn't last long—anything too ancient dissipates over time. Yours is in the form of a willpower text, right?" "Yes!" Su Yu nodded. Bai Feng sighed in understanding, "Then that makes sense. Only that kind could have stayed hidden from your grandmaster—it was likely passed down by someone at the Sun and Moon or even the Invincible Realm! But we're not coveting it either; just learn it yourself. This doesn't count as owing a favor. If you run into them in the future, at most call them a nominal teacher—nothing big. They passed it down themselves, you didn't steal it. If you get along, interact more; if not, just ignore them!" Bai Feng didn't pay this too much heed. Although Heaven Rank martial skills were rare, divine character masters—especially Civilization Masters of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction—generally didn't care much for them. Strictly speaking, their divine character battle techniques were also Heaven Rank battle techniques among divine characters. Su Yu nodded repeatedly. Only then did Bai Feng finish, "From now on, you are not allowed to erupt with blood essence unless... you encounter a life-or-death crisis! Everything before this can be blamed on me. It's fine; not many people know, and even if they noticed something, there's no way to prove it!" Su Yu nodded again. Bai Feng thought for a moment and added, "Since you can unleash innate skills..." His expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Have you tested the blood essence of the Five Elements races? Wait, no, you can only unleash innate skills, not run their cultivation techniques. Forget it, this is meaningless." Su Yu's heart almost exploded! This teacher... once his imagination started connecting the dots, it was terrifying. He knew what Bai Feng meant: he wanted to ask whether a culture mantra could be reverse-engineered and converted into a culture mantra that humans could cultivate. Truly terrifying! At least Su Yu had held the album for a long time without ever considering this question. Sure enough, Teacher did have a brain; he was just too much of a shut-in. Unaware that his disciple was silently roasting him, Bai Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Also, don't outline divine characters of other races recently. Only outline human divine characters, and don't rush to establish your primary divine character!" Looking at Su Yu, Bai Feng said gravely, "Perhaps... what you said back then was right: why can't human divine characters be powerful? "Since you want to do research and your strength now... is passable, starting tomorrow, you may enter the laboratory on the third basement floor. First produce the Soul-Devouring Insect innate blood essence, and only then join my project!" Bai Feng took a deep breath. "It works out well. Since you've grasped multiple innate skills, you can also serve as experimental material for me. When you have free time, strike out a few innate skills for me to compare! "It's a pity your grandmaster isn't here, or else we could get some god and demon blood essence for you to try out—there might be unexpected breakthroughs! "No, I need to arrange for someone to find him! I'll post a mission at the Mission Office to bring your grandmaster back!" Bai Feng was beginning to regret letting him go. Come back quickly, Teacher, don't go missing! If you don't return, with just Senior Brother's and my strength, we won't be able to hold the fort. Moreover, once the results of his innate divine character research emerged, he worried that even if completed, they couldn't be promoted. The implications were too immense; without Teacher backing them up, they couldn't withstand the fallout. Even if Teacher returned, he might not be able to shoulder it either! They'd need to find even more powerhouses of the multiple divine character faction to back them up! And then there was this brat in front of him... an absolute freak! Divine character? Get the hell out of here! If you fucking dare say again that I outlined that divine character for you, I'll strangle you to death! If the "Blood" divine character had so many functions, I'd smash my head into the wall of this Research Center and die! Bai Feng cursed wildly in his head! Bastard brat, lying to me! Not bothering with Su Yu anymore, Bai Feng seemed to recall something, hesitated a moment, and said, "Later, call my martial uncle and ask him if he minds... acting as a lab rat for me!" "Huh?" Su Yu froze. "Teacher, what do you mean?" "The literal meaning!" Bai Feng snapped irritably, "Can't you understand plain speech?" "No... Teacher, why don't you call him yourself..." "Nonsense! Do you think I have a death wish?" Bai Feng grumbled gloomily, "My martial uncle is stingy to death! He can't stand the sight of me and always thinks I want to snatch his treasure. If I dare ask him that, he'll dare get his old flame to beat me to death..." "..." Su Yu stared in shock. You really dare say anything! Are you just abandoning all restraint, letting everything go to hell? Harboring a bit of petty curiosity for gossip, Su Yu asked in a low voice, "Teacher, Teacher Liu's old flame... who is she?" "It's that..." Bai Feng clamped his mouth shut instantly! "Scram! What business is it of yours to ask?!" Rolling his eyes, Bai Feng snapped crossly, "Ask him yourself later—don't ask me! Don't forget to call and ask. I really do have half a mind to try it out. My martial uncle... the best lab rat! Right now, I'm starting to suspect whether that thing the Fifth Head left behind... is actually what I've been imagining!" An innate divine character! Could that divine character left behind by the Fifth Head truly be one? He was very suspicious! He really wanted to slice open his martial uncle to have a look! And slice up Su Yu while he was at it! Meanwhile, Su Yu also thought of something and said in a low voice, "Teacher Huang said human Civilization Masters cannot advance to the Eternal Realm because something is missing, related to the sea of willpower. Teacher..." Bai Feng was stunned! Evidently, he hadn't known! He had never asked about it, and no one would go out of their way to mention it to him! Would anyone take the initiative to tell him that human Civilization Masters actually reached a dead end after the peak of Sun and Moon? Who would have that kind of time? If you don't ask, who would tell you? You're not at peak Sun and Moon anyway—what would be the point of telling you? When the time comes, wouldn't taking the physical Invincible path be just the same? Bai Feng swallowed hard in agitation! Just like Su Yu, at this moment, he thought of innate divine characters! Looking at his disciple, Bai Feng asked with a trembling voice, "Is that true? Who said that?" "Teacher Huang, the one guarding the mystic realm." Bai Feng took a deep breath. In the next moment, he stood up and said in a grave voice, "You are forbidden from revealing that we are researching innate divine characters. We are researching innate blood essence, understand? Blood essence! It has nothing to do with divine characters, and nothing to do with the sea of willpower!" Su Yu nodded hastily! I understand! At this moment, he suddenly felt that Bai Feng was truly formidable, truly lofty and impressive—you are actually researching a project that could potentially achieve a breakthrough to Invincible! Amazing! Catching the look in Su Yu's eyes, Bai Feng felt himself floating with pride for a moment! Your teacher—me—am I formidable or what? Impressive, isn't it! In the next moment, Su Yu murmured softly, "Teacher, your strength is only at Tengkong. Even if you research it, will you be able to use it yourself?" "..." Silence. Dead silence. That hit where it hurt! What did he mean, "only at Tengkong"? Did you brat reach Lingyun or something?! Bai Feng felt exhausted down to his soul, unwilling to speak. Melancholy washed over him. That's right, I'm only at Tengkong. Fuck, I need to reach Lingyun as soon as possible!
