Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 952: All Characters Need A Beating (2)

The two found a hidden location in the Skyrend Valley and sat down cross-legged.

Then, Liu Wenyan said, "I am not lending you these characters so that you can go throw your life away. I'm offering this because you are getting too murderous, to the point you can hardly control your murderous intent anymore. In that case, you might as well vent yourself and kill to your heart's content."

Liu Wenyan had always been unorthodox in the way he taught.

Just like how it was in the past, he spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, his voice strong and clear, "Murderous intent is normally a result of repression. The more repressed you feel, the more murderous you will be. Just kill. Kill until you're tired of it. Vent your anger. Vent your feelings. At one point, you will naturally regain your calm."

Su Yu nodded pensively.

Liu Wenyan continued, "You have been murderous since you were young. You must have felt repressed since you were a kid. Now that you have grown your wings, you're no longer willing to suffer any losses. That's also a result of excessive repression."

Su Yu nodded. Anyone would feel repressed after dying so many times. Since he was a child, he had been dying daily in his nightmares. Every single day, he would experience the pain of his head bursting apart. Who wouldn't feel repressed in such a situation?

Who wouldn't be angry? Who wouldn't hate that? But in the past, he could only accept his fate due to his helplessness. After spending some time in the academy, he gained enough strength to stop accepting his fate all the time.

Liu Wenyan knew Su Yu very well. This kid had learned under him for five years. When they first met, the kid was only thirteen. That was an age where a child would develop a major part of their personality.

Liu Wenyan knew what Su Yu had been doing all those years. At the time, the kid had reached an age where he was starting to grow rebellious. But instead of causing trouble himself, the kid had been pretending to be an obedient kid. Now that the kid had finally gained a considerable level of strength, he started venting all his repressed feelings. In fact, he had been doing so for quite a while.

The more one was repressed, the more harmful it would be mentally. Thus, Liu Wenyan did not try to persuade Su Yu to return. He did not try to stop Su Yu from causing more trouble or doing anything that would attract more attention.

If he did so and succeeded, Su Yu would merely turn into a ticking bomb back at the Human Realm. He might end up causing even more trouble back home. It was better for the kid to be causing trouble out here instead. When the kid was finally done venting, he could then return. The myriad race Invincibles would end up hating him, but so what?

No matter how cowardly the human Invincibles were, they wouldn't allow the myriad race Invincibles to freely invade the Human Realm. That was a bottom line nobody would cross. As for the possibility of humanity deciding to hand Su Yu to the myriad races, as he gained more fame and recognition, which human would dare to be the first to propose something about that?

And if nobody spoke of it, it would naturally not happen. This understanding was why Liu Wenyan had allowed Su Yu to continue stirring trouble in the Allheaven Battlefield. The kid could kill to his heart's content out here. Out here, the kid would even be rewarded for killing. That would be beneficial for the kid's cultivation.

Su Yu had yet to see through all that. He only knew that he had his teacher's support. His teacher did not think that he was wrong. That alone was enough for him.

Liu Wenyan said, "I have fourteen Sunmoon characters. What type of character are you interested in?"

Su Yu said, "I want to try them all and see if any of them is compatible with me. I also need to test and see if my sea of willpower is strong enough to hold them. Teacher, will this harm you?"

Liu Wenyan smiled, "No. My sea of willpower is starting to reach its limit. A lot of them have been sealed away. A few of them are peak Sunmoon characters. Some are even showing signs of advancing beyond that. Of course, that's not going to happen anytime soon. Nevertheless, these characters are enough to put massive pressure on my sea of willpower. Lending a few of them to you will only reduce the pressure on me."

Su Yu said in surprise, "Teacher, in that case, just abandon these characters. You have your own characters, right? Just crush these characters and feed your own characters. If you did that earlier, you might have reached the Mountainsea or even the Sunmoon Realm by now."

"How can I do that?"

Liu Wenyan glared at his student, "Don't do anything stupid. Your grandteacher...forget it. If you're considered my student, he's your grandteacher. If you're considered Bai Feng's student, he's your great grandteacher. It doesn't matter. These are the only things he left behind. If I crush them all, he won't be able to attain peace in the afterlife."

Su Yu curled his lips and said nothing. He really wanted to say that the fifth principal was the source of all disaster. The fifth principal had lived a carefree life, but his actions had caused a life of suffering for people like Liu Wenyan, Hong Tan, Xia Yunji, Chen Yong, and others.

While the fifth principal was alive, he was arrogant and domineering. Everyone knew him. Meanwhile, his inheritors were the ones who had inherited all his enemies.

Liu Wenyan was the person who had won Su Yu's respect. Bai Feng was the person who had won Su Yu's favor. Chen Yong was the one who had given Su Yu the Character Technique Stele. Hong Tan was the person who had given him the little furball...

In any case, he had not benefited from the fifth principal. The only thing he had gained from the fifth principal was a bunch of troubles. He felt bad for Liu Wenyan and the others. If it wasn't for the fifth principal, Liu Wenyan would have reached the Sunmoon Realm by now. His family wouldn't have been destroyed. He wouldn't have been forced to live a miserable life in the Allheaven Battlefield.

Liu Wenyan could guess what Su Yu was thinking. He said, "I forbid you from thinking that way. That's my teacher. I was there to enjoy the glory of being his student while he was at his peak. Now that he has fallen, I naturally have to be here and suffer the consequences. Do you agree?"

Su Yu nodded with a look of understanding, "You're right, Teacher. When you fall, I will be there to bear the consequences as well!"

Liu Wenyan was getting tired of speaking to this brat. But the brat's way of thinking was understandable. The fifth principal was his teacher, not the brat's teacher. What was the point of telling the brat all that?

The brat was an extremely loyal person. But the loyalty was only directed toward him, not his teacher. He, Liu Wenyan, was the teacher of the brat. Not Ye Batian.

"Stop wasting time. Let's give it a try."

Liu Wenyan moved on to the main topic and said, "Sunmoon characters are very powerful. This is even more for peak Sunmoon characters. My compatibility with my teacher's characters is quite high. No, to be precise, the compatibility is excessively high. I suspected that this was the reason my teacher had accepted me as his student back then. Perhaps...he had been expecting all this to happen since the very beginning. It doesn't matter. This is all the past. I'm only telling you this to let you know more about our history. You don't have to worry too much about it."

Su Yu nodded. In short, the fifth principal knew that he would die. Thus, he had been making preparations for that.

Su Yu wasn't even surprised. He heard that the fifth principal was very arrogant during his time in the Allheaven Battlefield. He also heard that the fifth principal was a shit-stirrer like him as well. It wouldn't surprise anyone if the fifth principal ended up beaten to death. Yes. This was a good reminder. He had to take note of that as well.

Perhaps he should learn from the fifth principal and make some preparations to drag his juniors to hell after his death...

Su Yu only dared to ridicule the fifth principal in his mind. He did not have the courage to say those words to Liu Wenyan's face. Sure, he wasn't close to the fifth principal. But that was still the teacher of Teacher Liu.

After taking a deep breath, Liu Wenyan said, "Let's test the compatibility. Follow my instructions. First, send a strand of your willpower into my sea of willpower. Try to get in touch with one of the characters. If the compatibility is too low, your willpower will be kicked out. If that doesn't happen, you can move on to the next character."

"Teacher, is this appropriate?"

This wasn't Su Yu's first time entering the sea of willpower of others. Previously, he did it with Zhao Li.

"It's fine." Liu Wenyan said, "Bai Feng entered my sea of willpower before as well. If there are really any secrets in there, that fellow would have learned of them. And he's nowhere as reliable as you."

Su Yu nodded. That was true. His Teacher Bai had a big mouth. That fellow was extremely bad at keeping secrets. That was what he had learned during his time with Bai Feng. Since Liu Wenyan was saying that, Su Yu stopped hesitating. He manifested his willpower and formed a miniature version of himself.

The miniature Su Yu was sent toward Liu Wenyan's sea of willpower. While entering, he said, "Teacher, some races out there perform a unique kind of mental dual cultivation. Is this what we're doing?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Liu Wenyan choked and kicked the miniature Su Yu away before scolding, "Cut the bullshit!"

Fuck!

Dual cultivation his ass! This was merely a movement of willpower. How did it become mental dual cultivation?

Su Yu shrugged and sent his willpower over again, "Relax, Teacher. Don't be nervous. I tried this before with Teacher Zhao Li. This is not my first time. Just don't push me out."

Liu Wenyan had an unsightly expression.

Su Yu continued, "Relax, Teacher. I won't tell Martial Mother about this. Oh, my bad. I won't tell Martial Mothers about this."

"..."

What the fuck was that? Liu Wenyan was getting increasingly irritated. Why was this brat so talkative? And why was the brat only talking about useless things? A short moment later, the miniature Su Yu found itself in the middle of a massive ocean.

Yes. Ocean.

Su Yu had seen Zhao Li's sea of willpower before. It was massive. Zhao Li's willpower was extremely strong after years of tempering through the Soul Expanding Art. But Su Yu found that Liu Wenyan's sea of willpower was actually bigger than Zhao Li's. This was too surprising.

Naturally, his sea of willpower was smaller than either of them. After all, he was still a Cloudbreach. But Liu Wenyan was only a Skysoar.

A massive sun hovered in the sky. That sun was formed of countless characters. Su Yu stared at the sun blankly. At this time, Liu Wenyan appeared beside him.

He turned his head and asked, "Teacher, how is your sea of willpower so big?"

"If you let some Sunmoon characters stay in your sea of willpower for fifty years, your sea of willpower will be big as well."

Liu Wenyan gave a nonchalant reply. What a stupid question. Since he had survived, his sea of willpower would naturally grow strong.

"Teacher, why are you still a Skysoar?"

This wasn't right. Such a powerful sea of willpower shouldn't belong to only a Skysoar.

"My sea of willpower is not full yet."

Liu Wenyan gave a simple answer, "It's pointless if only the sea of willpower is strong. Without enough willpower to fill it, it's the same as an empty ocean. What's the point?"

"Also, these characters have never been mine. Sure, they are residing in my sea of willpower, but that does not change. Meanwhile, my own characters are not powerful enough."

Su Yu nodded. He could see that. Countless small stars were orbiting the massive sun. Those were probably his teacher's own characters. How terrifying. Just how many characters had his teacher formed?

There were definitely more than eighteen there. But Teacher Liu's character technique only needed eighteen characters.

"Teacher, how many characters did you form?"

"Sixty-six before this. But recently, I crushed the non-human characters, leaving me with only twenty-four."

"..."
