Tribulation of Myriad Races

"This man..." Su Yu thought about it for a long time before saying, "He should be killed. In fact, we should kill him as soon as possible. The Original Devil Sect's reputation must be pretty good nowadays, right?"

"Yeah." Xia Huyou sighed, "It's not obvious in Great Xia as all the sects are still known collectively as the Myriad Race Cult. But in some other prefectures, the Original Devil Sect is starting to be viewed as a separate entity than the Myriad Race Cult. Also, the Original Devil Sect refers to themselves as the Holy Sect.

"And some people are actually starting to address them as the Holy Sect. That is a very troublesome individual."

"Has nobody moved against him all these years?"

Xia Huyou said, "Of course. My-our prefect once set off personally to hunt him down. But after three months of pursuit, that fellow vanished completely. The prefect was forced to return. But right after that, the madman reappeared. He is an expert of the transformation faction. He is someone capable of transforming himself into an original devil. Just imagine how good someone like him would be at concealment. He can easily transform into an entirely different person at any time."

Su Yu had nothing to say. That was true.

"So we have no way of tracing him?"

"He won't be able to escape the senses of an Invincible once the Invincible locks on to him. But the issue is that no Invincible has ever gotten the chance to lock on to him. He is too good at hiding."

Xia Huyou then curled his lips as he looked at the building in front of them and said, "They actually gave you his research center. I was wondering why they were so kind to give you a research center here. All the research centers in this area are the older and larger ones. So it's that fellow's abandoned research center? How inauspicious."

The newer research centers were much smaller due to the reduction of available space in the academy. And it was obvious that the single character faction had allocated this old research center to Su Yu simply because they wanted to annoy him with something inauspicious.

Su Yu did not seem to care. He smiled, "This is fine. It's even better that we get to have a large place. We might even find something left behind by that Lan Tian fellow."

"Keep dreaming." Zhao Ming said, "After he defected, the Knowledge Seeking Realm, War Shrine, and Great Xia had all searched his research center repeatedly. Everything that could be taken away had been taken. This is only an empty shell. Even an Invincible was personally here once to investigate this place. There is nothing left for you."

Su Yu smiled, unbothered. He wasn't serious when he said that. He had naturally not expected to get anything good out of this research center. He wasted no time and threw a punch, breaking the dilapidated signboard.

"From today onward, this is the Source Soul Research Center."

Su Yu turned around and said, "Xia Huyou, I'll have to rely on you to get me a new signboard."

"Do you need an opening ceremony when hanging up the new signboard?"

"No. Just hang the new signboard and be done with it. There is no need for a ceremony." Su Yu said, "Come on. Let's take a look inside."

...

While Su Yu and company were exploring their new research center.

Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

Wan Tiansheng smiled, "This kid is quite gutsy. He actually smashed that fellow's signboard? Interesting." freew(e)bnovel.com

He had an amused smile on his face. It had been so many years. That research center had not been reused after Lan Tian's defection. Today, Sun Xiang allocated this research center to Su Yu. Was that a coincidence, or was that a deliberate decision?

In truth, one of the reasons the academy had left the research center alone for so many years was to keep it as bait for Lan Tian. Back then, Lan Tian had left in a rush. He had not been able to take anything with him. But when they searched the research center, they failed to find anything related to the original devil race.

The Knowledge Seeking Realm, War Shrine, and Great Xia all believed that there was still something undiscovered in the research center. Since even an Invincible had failed to find anything, whatever was hidden must be a huge secret.

Thus, the research center had been sealed for 18 years. The seal had only been removed 2 years ago as Lan Tian had not returned even after so long. And not long after the seal was removed, the research center was allocated to Su Yu by Elder Sun.

Was Elder Sun doing this purely to annoy Su Yu, or was he trying to get someone else to kill Su Yu?

Wan Tiansheng's willpower spread over the entire academy as he muttered, "Are you still in the academy?"

That fellow was too good at hiding. Who knew if he had entered the academy with a fake identity? With his signboard smashed apart, would he finally show himself? Would he finally expose some traces of his whereabouts?

After scanning the entire academy, Wan Tiansheng smiled and withdrew his willpower.

Whatever.

Even if that fellow was in the academy, he wouldn't dare to show himself.

That fellow knew very well that a lot of people were leaving him alone so that he could deal with the Myriad Race Cult. And once the Myriad Race Cult was truly unified, it would also be time for him to stop existing. That would be the perfect opportunity for the forces of humanity to destroy the cult in one fell swoop.

In fact, this was the very thing a few old fossils were waiting for.

They were waiting for him to unify the entire cult. It would be even better if he could hold an appointment ceremony to solidify his position as the leader of the newly unified cult. At that time, he would probably find several Invincibles on his tail.

Wan Tiansheng smiled and shut his eyes. He decided to toss this matter out of his mind for now. Was Su Yu lucky or unlucky to get this research center? If that fellow was really hiding in the academy, he probably wouldn't spare Su Yu for smashing his signboard.

"Well, this might be a good thing if that fellow ends up revealing himself."

Lan Tian...

His spy in the cult...spy his ass! That fellow had been using his name for so many years. He had simply been too busy to care about that fellow. He would properly settle the score with Lan Tian after dealing with the traitor Invincible.

...

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The moment the door was opened, an intense smell of blood assaulted them.

Wu Jia coughed several times before she covered her nose and said, "This smells terrible."

Zhao Ming said, "It's normal. The transformation faction...tends to butcher a lot of living beings. Today, they will cut a limb down. Tomorrow, they will cut a paw down. They will be constantly butchering bodies for their research. The number of creatures that had died in this research center back then was much higher than the number of creatures that had died in Wentan Research Center."

"We have never taken any lives before..."

Both Su Yu and Chen Yong declared at the same time. Then, they exchanged gazes and smiled at each other before shutting their mouths.

The others looked at the two with odd gazes. Were they serious? How had they gotten all the blood essence for their research, then? Had they purchased all their blood essence?

Zhao Ming, in particular, was madly rolling his eyes. Back then, Hong Tan had brought an incredibly large number of creatures into his research center. Were these two really unaware of that?

Where were all those creatures now? He reckoned that not even their bones were left.

Su Yu ignored Zhao Ming and scanned the room. The place was very spacious. He did not mind the smell of blood in the air. It was natural for a place to reek of blood after a large amount of slaughter. In truth, a similar smell also pervaded the prison zone of the Wentan Research Center. The smell was not as strong, though.

After looking around, he noted that there were three aboveground levels and three underground levels. This was basically the same as the Wentan Research Center.

The first floor was the living area. But the living area was almost empty. There were only some old and broken pieces of furniture in the room. It had been decades. Anything valuable had been taken away, while the things left behind had pretty much been damaged by the passage of time.

Not a single living being could be seen in the building. Not even a rat could be found. The murderous intent left in the building was still too strong. After looking around, Su Yu looked at Xia Huyou.

Noticing the gaze, Xia Huyou looked over curiously. What?

"Come on. Clean the place up." Su Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Have you forgotten? You're a professional cleaner. You have a cleaning Divine Character."

"..."

Fuck!

This fellow still remembered that?

Xia Huyou said, "Don't tell me that this is the only reason you have recruited me."

"Yeah." free webno vel

"..."

Xia Huyou was speechless. Did this fellow not know his identity? Was that how this fellow was treating Xia Longwu's son? Using him like a cleaner?

"Go on. Stop wasting time." Su Yu said, "There isn't a lot to do. A simple cleaning is enough. We can then start moving in."

Xia Huyou was feeling rather sullen. This fellow was really using him like a cleaner!

Su Yu ignored his sulking friend and said, "Senior Sister, can you go to the Wentan Research Center and bring my bundle of books over? Senior Jiang, both you and Brother Hu will be in charge of buying more books to make our research center look more impressive. Teacher Zhao, I need you to get us some items..."

"What do you need?"

After thinking about it, Su Yu said, "I need cages with talisman formations that can keep creatures locked in. I also need a character preservation room. I only need some simple devices for that. Any complicated tasks involving characters can be done at Wentan Research Center. Our main research subject is the source soul acupoint. Thus, we need some accurate replicas."

Su Yu thought about it and said, "We need the most accurate replica of the human body. The replica needs to be able to emulate a real sea of willpower as well."

"Hmm?" Zhao Ming asked in astonishment, "You want something like that as well? Our academy does not have the technology to create accurate body emulators. But Great Zhou has a mature level of technology for this purpose. You need hundreds of merit points for an emulator of an Infinite Strength cultivator. And if you want an emulator for a Skysoar, it will cost you thousands of merit points..."

"Just get some for me."

"Where's the money?"

"You can pay for me first. I'll pay you later."

"..."

Zhao Ming stared at Su Yu. Su Yu stared at Zhao Ming.
