Twin Wu Aperture Fusion Art

Great Xia Civilization Academy. Not long after Su Yu returned, news of his ambush began spreading among circles with wide-reaching information networks. At the Primordial Spirit Research Institute. The researchers here were all well-connected individuals. Jiang Mu frowned. "Are those All-Races Sect bastards getting bolder and bolder?" "It's not even certain yet whether they were from the All-Races Sect," Su Yu said with a smile, reassuring them. "I'm fine. It's not like I got hurt anyway." Wu Jia said indignantly, "Junior Brother, we have to get Master and Martial Grandfather to step in! Otherwise, won't those bastards keep targeting you?" "Senior Sister, it's just a small matter," Su Yu chuckled. "I'm really fine. I didn't even see what happened before Xia Huyou's people swooped in and took them out in a snap!" He added with a sigh, "That fellow Xia Huyou claims he's just from a collateral branch of the Xia family... I find that a bit hard to believe, what with a Mountainsea guardian protecting him." Hu Qiusheng gave him an odd look. *Do you really not know, or are you just playing dumb?* Xia Huyou was hardly some ordinary collateral branch member, yet Su Yu ordered him around like an errand boy. Hu Qiusheng couldn't tell whether Su Yu actually knew the truth or not. As for the ambush on Su Yu, Hu Qiusheng hadn't received much detailed information about it yet. After listening for a moment, he said, "Be careful lately. Don't go outside unless you really have to." "I know," Su Yu replied with a smile. "I don't plan on going out anyway. Oh right, since everyone is here, let's not waste time on dull topics. Help me look something up." Su Yu described it: "There's a kind of grass. It has three leaves, and the leaves have a bluish tint..." "Three leaves with a bluish tint? Do you mean the Sky Star Flower?" Su Yu paused in surprise. *Even you know this?* He looked over at Wu Lan, who was brimming with pride. "What?" she boasted smugly. "I happen to have seen that flower before! It has three leaves with a bluish tint, and eventually it blooms into Sky Star Flowers. They're quite pretty." "Do you have a picture?" "Let me go look. It should be in the Botanical Compendium..." Wu Lan clattered up the stairs and soon returned with a thick tome, handing it to Su Yu. "The Botanical Compendium has twelve volumes, and I've only read a few of them. Take a look yourself—is this it?" Su Yu flipped through it and quickly found the entry on the Sky Star Flower. The illustration was indeed the very plant he had seen in the memory fragments. Su Yu checked its primary native habitats and frowned. The range was quite broad. Seven or eight prefectures had this plant. The Great Xia Prefecture had it too, as did several nearby prefectures. Daming Prefecture, Dashang Prefecture, Great Xia Prefecture... Frowning, Su Yu also roughly determined that it should be somewhere near the Great Xia Prefecture, as Sky Star Flowers rarely grew in the other distant regions. At least the search area had narrowed down. Without dwelling on it, Su Yu quickly added, "There's also a kind of tree that bears a fruit looking somewhat like a watermelon. It's quite large and has stripes..." As he described it further, Wu Lan shot her hand up like an eager schoolgirl and chimed in, "I know, I know! It's definitely the Nine-Patterned Fruit Tree! Does the fruit have nine stripes on it?" "..." Seeing her smug expression, Su Yu was somewhat dumbfounded. *Impressive. You even know how to buzz in ahead of everyone else.* *Do you think I'm testing your pool of knowledge?* Not wasting words, Su Yu asked, "Where do these fruit trees grow?" "They grow in Daming, Great Xia, and Dashang Prefectures. Nowhere else produces them." "Impressive!" Su Yu offered a word of praise. He continued, "There's another tree that doesn't bear fruit..." Before he could finish, Wu Lan interjected eagerly, "If I get all of them right, is there a reward?" "..." *Do you think I'm playing a game with you?* Su Yu was speechlessly exasperated, but he smiled and said, "Yes! I'll keep asking questions. Whoever gets five right will be rewarded with the location of one divine aperture!" "..." Everyone stared at him. Su Yu kept an impassive face and said calmly, "An employee bonus! Don't look at me like that. As a newly established research institute, we lack money, but then again, we don't lack money. To motivate our staff, a trivia quiz now and then is only natural, and correct answers come with rewards!" Wu Lan didn't overthink it, instead exclaiming in delight, "A divine aperture reward? One that can be opened at our current stage?" "That's right!" "Then hurry up and give us the next question!" "..." Hu Qiusheng and the others felt exhausted. *Don't you care at all about where he's getting these divine aperture opening methods?* *Fine, you really don't seem to care.* At this moment, Zheng Yunhui, Hu Qiusheng, and Jiang Mu lost all their nonchalance. Every single one of them focused intently and locked eyes on Su Yu! *Holy crap!* *Why didn't you say so earlier? We would've buzzed in too!* Su Yu smiled and went on, "A tree that bears no fruit, but it's quite tall—around seven or eight meters. Its leaves are huge, looking like lotus leaves..." "There are three possibilities!" Hu Qiusheng hurriedly blurted out, but before he could list them, Wu Lan shrieked, "I know! Lotus Leaf Sandalwood, Blue Maple Birch, and Cloud Leaf Wood... Which one do you mean? Are there spots on the trunk?" "No..." Su Yu was stunned, while Wu Lan pressed on urgently, "Is there blue in the leaves?" "I don't think so..." "Then it's Lotus Leaf Sandalwood!" Wu Lan stated immediately. "It's abundant in the three prefectures of Great Zhou, Daming, and Dashang!" "..." Su Yu blinked and looked at Hu Qiusheng. Hu Qiusheng gave a helpless nod—he had known that one too, but Wu Lan had spoken over him! Su Yu smiled. "Then where is a place that has Lotus Leaf Sandalwood, Sky Star Flowers, and Nine-Patterned Fruit Trees all together?" "Daming Prefecture!" Wu Lan continued shouting out the answer, saying rapidly, "Daming Prefecture has all of them! I even know the exact place—not far from the Great Xia Prefecture. Right, it's not far from your Nanyuan either. It's called... called Starfall Mountain!" Smug and utterly proud of herself, Wu Lan beamed. "I got it right! That's four questions now! Keep going!" Su Yu fell silent. *Holy shit!* *I was just casually asking questions, and the location is already identified?* *Starfall Mountain!* "Wu Lan, how do you know so much?" Wu Lan was smug, proud, and thrilled, though she feigned modesty. "It's nothing special. I just like reading about flowers and plants. Whenever I was bored, I'd read about them—they're much prettier to look at than demonic beasts." In other words: *Don't ask me about demonic beasts or anything; I wouldn't know.* "Is Starfall Mountain big?" "Very big!" Wu Lan quickly asked, "Does that count as a question? Do I need to give the exact surface area? Starfall Mountain... I'd have to look up reference materials to know..." As she moved to run off and fetch reference books, Jiang Mu said with a beaming smile, "Starfall Mountain has one main ridge and six branch ridges! Head further south from Nanyuan for about 350 li. It serves as a boundary between prefectures. The mountain range is rugged and somewhat dangerous. There are wild demonic beasts in the mountains, as well as bandits and outlaws, and even some All-Races Sect cultists lurking within..." Wu Lan looked tragic and indignant! *That was my question!* *You stole my answer!* Su Yu's mind stirred. *All-Races Sect cultists living in the mountains... the Heavenly Archer Cult?* *Could that major cult have been based near the Great Xia Prefecture all along?* *Makes sense. Their entire cult entered the Great Xia Prefecture to stage an attack. Moving so many people couldn't have been done rashly. If they mobilized, they had to arrive quickly. Perhaps their original stronghold was never far from Great Xia to begin with.* *Starfall Mountain... a borderland beyond the control of either prefecture!* Su Yu was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected to pin down the location so quickly. *Talents!* *Everyone in this research institute is a true talent—aside from the goofy, dazed-looking Zheng Yunhui, and my senior sister who looks like she's listening to a foreign language...* *Neither of those two managed to get a word in from start to finish. Truly pitiful.* Delighted, Su Yu promptly asked, "What is the highest danger level there?" At this point, Hu Qiusheng looked at him with some surprise. He seemed to vaguely understand what Su Yu was doing. *Su Yu... seems to be deducing a location.* *Starfall Mountain!* Su Yu paid it no mind. Jiang Mu smiled and said, "I'm not entirely sure, but generally it won't exceed Mountainsea. A Mountainsea presence makes an area high-risk, and whenever there's a Mountainsea-level threat, the major prefectures dispatch forces to purge it!" Su Yu nodded. Perhaps he could head to Starfall Mountain later to look around! He asked no more questions, leaving Wu Lan looking despondent. "You're not asking anymore?" *Trivia quizzes are so fun!* *Besides, I only got four right—there's still one more! Only five correct answers get the reward of a divine aperture method!* Su Yu laughed. "Then here's one more: You go out on a team expedition with someone, and someone on your team wants to target you, but doesn't dare kill you out of fear that your grandaunt will settle the score with her. How would you force her to strike first...?" Wu Lan blinked. That was a tough question to answer. The others looked pensive and stayed silent. After a moment, Wu Lan asked hurriedly, "Are you going out together to hunt for treasure, or to deal with enemies?" "Treasure hunting." "Then introduce a massive treasure that both of you want. When it's just the two of you alone, she definitely won't be able to resist the urge to kill you..." "Then my backing will find out and kill her!" Wu Lan racked her brain. "Then ensure your backing doesn't find out, or even if they do, make it so they can't kill her because other witnesses testify that you died of natural causes or an accident." "How would they prove that?" While Wu Lan was still pondering, Hu Qiusheng smiled faintly. "As long as the stakes are high enough, no proof is needed—just make sure there are no witnesses! It all depends on whether the reward is enticing enough! If it's tempting enough... murder is murder; who could prove she did it?" Su Yu nodded. The reward had to be large enough. He pondered for a moment and added, "Then for certain people, what constitutes the greatest reward...?" "For members of the myriad races, what they want most is probably ruins!" Hu Qiusheng said with a smile. "Or something significant enough to overturn the overall situation—for instance, the Primordial Spirit Apertures we're researching, or a method for Civilization Masters to break through to the Invincible Realm, or..." He listed many possibilities. Su Yu nodded again. "And if I turn the tables and kill her, what would the consequences be?" "Beware of retaliation from her clan, and beware of resentment from the myriad races students banding together against you..." Hu Qiusheng gave a meaningful smile. "You can bring several students from different races along. Kill some, win over others. Having humans vouch for yourself is meaningless! Divide them from within and let them testify that she got what she deserved!" "Different races have different interests. As long as you satisfy the demands of some, you can deal with the disgruntled remainder! Turn a portion of those non-human students into beneficiaries with a vested interest. Sowing discord and recruiting allies is quite simple!" Su Yu smiled at him, and Hu Qiusheng beamed back at Su Yu. Zheng Yunhui glanced between the two of them and looked up at the ceiling. *Is this appropriate?* *You two are openly scheming right out in the open, falling just short of explicitly naming Xia Qing's bunch. Is this really appropriate?* *There are girls present, you know.* *Doesn't this make us look entirely too sinister?* Then he glanced at the two girls... *Fine, carry on. Neither of them understood a thing. Keep chatting away. Those two women actually think you're just discussing hypothetical scenarios.* Su Yu dropped the subject and soon smiled. "Wu Lan, I'll count that as a pass. Getting four right is already very impressive, and you provided good ideas for this last one. Your reward is one divine aperture opening method! Keep up the good work. Any researcher who makes outstanding contributions will be rewarded!" Wu Lan beamed with delight. A reward! She felt fully motivated to work now! Su Yu smiled and let the matter drop. The ambush from earlier seemed to be forgotten by everyone as well. They all assumed Xia Huyou's people had killed the attackers, while Su Yu... was completely unharmed. ... The assassination attempt on Su Yu was a major event, yet also not that major. After all, Su Yu had emerged unscathed, whereas five Tengkong experts had fallen. The Great Xia Prefecture was conducting a thorough investigation, and the remaining three captives were promptly dragged to the All-Races Pit to be beheaded. Exposed All-Races Sect cultists carried little bait value. Normally, the Great Xia Prefecture wouldn't keep them around for long and simply executed them. Those who remained unexposed and were secretly monitored by the authorities were the ones who might reel in bigger fish. As for Su Yu, there was nothing unusual. There were only minor rumors within the Great Xia Civilization Academy that Su Yu and Zhang Hao of the Divine Talisman College were having an unpleasant falling-out. The reason was simple: the individuals who ambushed Su Yu turned out to belong to a collateral branch of the Zhang family. The Zhang family claimed those individuals had simply acted out of greed rather than being cultists of the All-Races Sect. Yet Su Yu had labeled them as All-Races Sect members, costing them their lives and causing the Zhang family patriarch to be reprimanded by higher-ups. If it had merely been a matter of greed, it wouldn't have implicated the Zhang family. Now, however, it caused a minor headache. Although the Zhang family patriarch had dealt with it immediately, word had it that Su Yu falsely accused them before Xia Huyou, insisting they were All-Races Sect cultists. That was why those people had been executed outright as cultists! ... Su Yu paid no further attention to any of it. Having leaked a few rumors, he ignored the rest. From start to finish, his objective was never just to plot anyone's downfall. It was to make himself stronger! As the drops of essence blood from Xia Huyou arrived one after another, Su Yu quickly began his experiments. He unlocked pages of the album and tested techniques. He tested not only techniques of the myriad races, but also various human cultivation arts. Having opened so many apertures, he could try almost any ordinary technique, since his apertures encompassed nearly all of theirs. Even if he fell short by a few apertures, he could simply open a few more. Opening a few apertures was not difficult for Su Yu; having cultivated the Body Strengthening Art, his aperture-opening speed was remarkably fast. In the blink of an eye, five days passed. November 15th. The sixth day since the institute's founding. At this point, Su Yu had opened 308 apertures. After testing various techniques, some indeed showed minor effects, accelerating his aperture fusion. Right now, Su Yu had already fused four apertures into one. By his previous estimate, fusing a single aperture took three days, so after just one week, he should have barely completed fusing two. Yet it had to be said that certain techniques could indeed speed up the process. "The human race's *Aperture Fusion Art* and *Convergence Art* both have some effect. They can be considered decent auxiliary techniques, requiring 15 and 24 apertures respectively." "The Flying Eagle Race's *Bipolar Severance* also has a good effect, requiring 28 apertures." "The Red Frog Race's *Aperture Harmony Art* works too, requiring 22 apertures..." Su Yu evaluated these helpful fusion arts one by one and fell into contemplation. There were quite a few techniques that assisted in aperture fusion. For example, if *Bipolar Severance* or *Aperture Harmony Art* were shared with others to cultivate, people would likely be very satisfied. Their effects were solid, they didn't require many apertures, and they were far better to use than some human techniques. They could save at least one-third of the time. Yet this was not what Su Yu wanted! Too slow! The efficiency was too poor! Save one-third of the time? No, that couldn't satisfy Su Yu's needs. The ideal technique would completely resolve the repulsive force and allow him to fuse apertures rapidly—that was a truly great art! A drop of golden blood appeared in his hand! This belonged to the last race he had yet to test: the Sky Dragon Race. Just this single drop of Wanshi Realm blood was outrageously expensive at 300 merit points. Su Yu had purchased three drops, spending a whopping 900 merit points on this race alone. Su Yu knew the Dragon language. This Sky Dragon blood had only arrived recently as well. "I've tried dozens of human techniques, and some had no effect whatsoever. I've also tested dozens of techniques from the myriad races, and few were effective. What about the Sky Dragon Race?" Su Yu hesitated no longer and swallowed the essence blood in one gulp. With his current physical strength, he could even attempt to consume Tengkong Realm essence blood; Wanshi Realm blood posed little strain on him. Soon, a new page in the album opened. This meant that a member of the Sky Dragon Race had killed him too. In his dreams! To this day, Su Yu still occasionally dreamed of the myriad races hunting him down, though it was rare now, happening only once in a while. Putting it out of mind, he looked at the newly unlocked page. "Sky Dragon Race (Wanshi Ninth Layer): Racial Skills: Shatter (unlocked by essence blood), Dragon's Wrath (unlocked by essence blood), Aperture Melding (unlocked by essence blood)... Foundation Origin Art: Sky Dragon Art (unlocked by essence blood)" Su Yu sucked in a cold breath. This was the first time he had encountered a race with so many racial skills. A full six of them! He didn't bother checking the remaining ones, his eyes locking onto "Aperture Melding." A method for fusing apertures? And it was an innate racial talent! This meant the Sky Dragon Race didn't even need to cultivate this method, and might not even realize they possessed such an innate skill; they simply knew that melding apertures was effortless for them. In their eyes, perhaps it was just natural talent rather than an innate skill or cultivation technique. The Sky Dragon Race was born knowing how to do this! "*Aperture Melding*..." Su Yu felt a thrill of excitement. A top-ten race indeed! Of course, the human race was unique, but as for the other top-ten races, which one didn't have special trump cards? He had two drops of essence blood left. One drop would be used to unlock the *Aperture Melding* technique, and the other to unlock the Foundation Origin Art, *Sky Dragon Art*. A cultivation art from a top-ten race had to be formidable, right? At the very least, stronger than the *Body Strengthening Art*? Perhaps it could open 144 apertures! Without hesitation, Su Yu quickly swallowed another drop of essence blood. This time, he intended to unlock the *Aperture Melding* technique. As the essence blood was consumed, the innate skill activated. In that instant, Su Yu sensed it! Inside his body, 32 apertures opened. They were very concealed, and nine of them were apertures Su Yu had never opened before. The moment these 32 apertures opened, they quickly generated a suppressive force that was equally subtle. Ignoring everything else, Su Yu promptly attempted to fuse apertures! The moment he began fusing, Su Yu was overjoyed! The repulsive force had weakened! No, it was suppressed by the power formed by those 32 apertures! It held down the repulsion! "Suppressed by at least two-thirds!" Su Yu rejoiced. Suppressed by two-thirds... that was already incredible, vastly superior to the previous techniques! If this technique were properly compiled, suppressing two-thirds of the repulsion didn't mean saving two-thirds of the time—it saved far more! Originally, if the repulsive force was 3, fusing one aperture took three days. Now that the repulsive force was down to 1, fusing an aperture might only take half a day. Because the repulsion was reduced, the speed was faster, the effort lighter, and the consumption of origin qi and willpower far lower. "Excellent!" Su Yu felt thrilled. A truly fine technique. If he kept cultivating like this, where he previously thought reaching the first layer of aperture fusion would take at least forty-five days, now it might only take half a month. After cultivating for about half an hour, the power of the essence blood was depleted, but Su Yu didn't mind. His fifth aperture was on the verge of being successfully fused! *I still need to open nine more apertures myself...* Thinking this, Su Yu's mind suddenly stirred. He swiftly placed the several techniques with noticeable effects in front of him, inspected them, and muttered, "Among these arts, the one requiring the most apertures is this Sky Dragon technique, while the one requiring the fewest is the human *Aperture Fusion Art*." "The most is 32 apertures, and the fewest is 15." Looking through the other techniques again, Su Yu's gaze shifted. It hadn't been obvious before, but once he unlocked *Aperture Melding*, he suddenly noticed that these arts shared many overlapping apertures. "Which means the apertures that suppress repulsion are actually fixed!" "Some apertures are ineffective, while others are effective. At the very least, the overlapping ones must all be effective." Su Yu rapidly searched through all the techniques he had previously tested, feeling as though he had struck gold! He felt like he had discovered a whole new world! "The repulsion in aperture fusion should be suppressed by a fixed set of apertures. It might be possible to deduce an art even better suited than *Aperture Melding*. Usually, thirty-six is the ideal limit, but *Aperture Melding* only opens thirty-two apertures, meaning it might not be optimal..." "Perhaps some apertures in *Aperture Melding* are even unnecessary!" "And other techniques might have apertures that need to be incorporated." "..." Su Yu muttered to himself, caught in a frenzy of excitement. Cultivation arts were all created by people, by powerful experts, which didn't mean they were necessarily flawless. Just like Hu Qiusheng, who had once modified a technique in his earlier years to eliminate an unnecessary aperture. Su Yu possessed far more knowledge than others! He had practiced dozens of aperture fusion arts from the myriad races alone. Some aperture locations were deeply hidden—so obscure that humans would likely struggle to even discover their existence—yet the album had unlocked them all. Right now, he wasn't truly creating a technique from scratch; he was merely doing patch-up and optimization work. ... Three to four hours later. Su Yu had drawn a diagram of apertures for a brand-new technique on paper! A diagram opening 36 origin apertures! He searched for overlapping apertures, continually tested others, and sensed the power exerted by each aperture. He was able to sense which ones were of little use and eliminated them. Ultimately, he finalized a set of 36 apertures. Even from *Aperture Melding*, he had pruned away several useless apertures. "Thirty-six. Following the fundamental laws, this should be the most optimal technique. With thirty-six apertures, deducing the circulation route isn't difficult either, since the routes in these techniques are all fairly similar... But... could there be danger?" Su Yu sank into thought. Truth be told, even though he was merely patching holes and refining details, this was still the first brand-new technique he had ever compiled, and it didn't follow any original circulation path. If something went wrong and apertures exploded, that would be a disaster! After a long while, Su Yu's eyes flickered. "Zhou Hao!" Should he bring in a test subject? Let him give it a try! Zhou Hao had opened many apertures. Of these new 36 apertures, that guy might only need to open a few or a dozen more. He might even be opening some of them right now. It probably wouldn't take him long to finish opening the required apertures and test the circulation. As for whether he blew up... that would be his own problem. To be fair, Su Yu was reasonably confident, but when it came to testing a newly deduced technique on himself, he didn't dare. If thirty-six apertures exploded, even if he didn't die, he'd be bedridden for half a year. "That guy Zhou Hao cultivated the *Thousand Mountains Art*. Because the repulsive force is enormous, fusing his apertures is virtually impossible. If this technique truly works, it'll be a life-changing miracle for Zhou Hao!" "And if it works even for the *Thousand Mountains Art*, it means it will work for everyone else, which would thoroughly prove that this technique is viable!" In Su Yu's view, Zhou Hao was better suited to walk the path of a warrior. His willpower had shown some improvement last time, but he still hadn't achieved the Yangxing Realm. Right now, that fellow relied solely on his physical strength. As for willpower... even students in the intermediate class looked down on him. His talent in willpower wasn't particularly strong, or perhaps he had started too late. His willpower was tenaciously resilient like Su Yu's, but simply far too weak. "That guy is Xia Yuwen's apprentice. He won't leak it to others, will he?" Su Yu was somewhat concerned about this issue! Perhaps he could have a talk with Zhou Hao. He felt Zhou Hao was quite a suitable test subject—maybe even future Primordial Spirit Apertures could be tested on him. That guy opened origin apertures remarkably fast. Word was that not long after Xia Yuwen discovered him, despite having never cultivated before, Zhou Hao had rapidly opened 144 apertures to complete the cultivation of the *Thousand Mountains Art*. Xia Yuwen... was an unqualified teacher. Had Zhou Hao been sent to the War Academy, even if he had to restart his cultivation, he would likely have broken through to the Wanshi Realm or Tengkong Realm very quickly. Instead, Xia Yuwen had brought him to the Great Xia Civilization Academy, squandering his talent. Many felt pity and regret, but since he was Xia Yuwen's student, no one interfered. "That guy... if he had truly been sent to the War Academy, he might have become the next Huang Teng!" Huang Teng—the prodigy of the Great Xia War Academy. The very genius who had trounced Bai Feng into misery several times! Su Yu had only heard about that name from others. Huang Teng was already a Lingyun Realm expert who had left the academy, supposedly fighting on the frontlines of the All-Heavens Battlefield. With these thoughts in mind, Su Yu's eyes gleamed for a moment. He would talk to Zhou Hao. As for Su Yu himself... there was no need to take unnecessary risks. *God only knows if the circulation route I deduced is completely right!* *What if there's a conflict and an aperture blows up? Maybe I can consult Teacher Zhao to refine it further for safety before letting Zhou Hao test its effects. I'm actually a pretty loyal and upright guy.* *If you want to change your destiny, how can you do it without taking some risks?* Whether to agree or not was up to Zhou Hao himself... Su Yu figured he would probably accept. That fellow was ruthless enough to take the gamble. "Now that the new technique is here, an auxiliary method for aperture fusion, it needs a name." Su Yu stroked his chin, mused for a moment, and chuckled with mischievous humor. "Let's call it the *Twin Wu Aperture Fusion Art*. If Senior Sister and Wu Lan find out, they'll probably be overjoyed and eager to work for me for free for the rest of their lives..." Su Yu had come to understand those two quite well. They needed to be flattered! Coaxed! Held up on pedestals! Make them feel that they were amazing, impressive, and important. Then, even if they worked for you without pay, they'd feel thrilled inside and itch to do unpaid labor for a lifetime. A technique that could potentially spread across the entire Human Realm and revolutionize the entire field of warriors, named the *Twin Wu Aperture Fusion Art*—how grand was that? Those two would probably go crazy with joy! The more Su Yu thought about it, the more he laughed. *Am I being too wicked?* *Not only do they work without getting paid, they even chip in their own money. And on top of chipping in money, they willingly work for free. Sigh, even I can barely look myself in the mirror!* "It's all for the rise of the human race!" Su Yu muttered to himself. It was all for humanity; as scientific researchers, they had to maintain such conviction. Working for free... paying out of pocket... Well, I would never do it, but as long as Senior Sister and Wu Lan are happy with it, that's what counts. In reality, naming a technique after them in exchange for a lifetime of unpaid work would be considered an absolute steal by countless people—it was simply too precious!
