April 18th, Anping Year 350.

This was the second to last day before Su Yu and his group were to leave Nanyuan. Tomorrow morning, they would all gather and leave Nanyuan under the escort of the city guards and the powerhouses of the Great Xia Civilization Academy.

Morning.

Su Yu had just woken up when he was startled to find a figure by his bed.

“Awake?”

Liu Wenyan asked abruptly. Su Yu suppressed his thoughts, feeling helpless. The old gentleman was scaring people early in the morning.

“Teacher, you’re awake too.”

“Getting old, woke up long ago.”

Liu Wenyan smiled. “Get up and eat. After eating, come with me to the academy, but don’t stay with me today…”

“Huh?”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered. “Teacher, do you mean…”

“If the Myriad Clans Sect has a plan, when do you think they’ll strike? Before tonight, people from the Great Xia Civilization Academy will arrive. By night, they’ll have no chance.”

Su Yu’s heart trembled. True, if he were a member of the Myriad Clans Sect, he’d either act today or wait until they left, when there would be fewer city guards.

So, the Myriad Clans Sect might show their faces today.

“Following me is too dangerous!”

Liu Wenyan still smiled. “Those guys are worried about my Will Manifestation. If they strike, they’ll definitely target me first, kill me in advance, to prevent my Will Manifestation and me stepping into the Soaring realm.”

“So don’t stay with me today, and don’t stay with other powerhouses. Just stay with a teacher in the Thousand Hammer realm. Someone will protect you.”

“Teacher…” Su Yu hurriedly got out of bed. “Do they really dare to attack Nanyuan Academy?”

“Of course they dare! Some members of the Myriad Clans Sect fear death, some are greedy for life, some are crazy, some are possessed, but even those who are greedy for life and fear death won’t hesitate to draw their swords to achieve their goals!”

Liu Wenyan sighed softly, “These people are very strange! You say they fear death, but sometimes they are less afraid of death than we are. Put them on the battlefield of the heavens, facing races like gods and demons, and they’ll be scared out of their wits. But if you let them attack their own kind, they’ll be fearless.”

“Maybe they think that since they’re all humans, there’s nothing to be afraid of. The myriad clans are the truly terrifying ones. When the butcher’s knife falls on the human race, they won’t hesitate at all.”

Su Yu frowned upon hearing this. Indeed, these members of the Myriad Clans Sect seemed strange to him.

Send them to the battlefield of the heavens, and these people could be scared to death.

As for courage, they had almost none.

But when it came to causing destruction within the human race, these guys were braver and more insane than anyone else, not even being deterred by beheadings every day.

“Is this considered being a bully at home?”

Su Yu thought for a while and came up with a term.

Liu Wenyan laughed, “Not really. We don’t consider them human, so it doesn’t count as being a bully at home. But you’re right, that’s their character. Weak externally, cold-blooded internally. In fact, there are many people like this, throughout history.”

“And this kind of person isn’t unique to the human race. Actually, every race has them.”

“When they betray their own race, to prove that their choice is right, to prove themselves, the butcher’s knife falls on their former compatriots even faster and more ruthlessly!”

Liu Wenyan wasn’t surprised. “The human race… actually also has a group of such myriad clans!”

Liu Wenyan looked at Su Yu with a smile. “The human race actually also accepts such myriad clans. They’ve lost confidence and hope in their own race, and have defected to the human race. At this time, they’ll be very vicious when they attack their former compatriots.”

Su Yu couldn’t quite understand, but he had read a lot and knew that many such people did exist.

He didn’t ask any more questions, and Su Yu got up to wash up.

Soon, at the dining table, Su Yu ate for a while and said, “Teacher, will they attack today then? There are so many students at the academy, why not give them a holiday today?”

“There’s no way. We can’t take a holiday. There’s no preventing thieves for a thousand days. Taking a holiday would stir up the hornet’s nest, and those guys wouldn’t show up.”

“But…”

Su Yu was a little worried. Once they really attacked, wouldn’t so many students be affected?

“We’ve made preparations, and someone will protect you.” Liu Wenyan sighed, “Don’t think we’re cold-blooded, using you as bait. Hesitation leads to disaster!”

“Su Yu, remember, if you ever go to the battlefield and become a commander, then… what you have to do is choose!”

“On one side are 1,000 soldiers, and on the other side are 10,000 people. You can choose to save the 1,000 soldiers, or you can choose to have these 1,000 soldiers hold back the enemy, using 10,000 people to wipe out a 10,000-strong army of a major race. At this moment… what do you choose?”

“I…” Su Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, “I… don’t know.”

“You actually know, but you can’t say it. You’re intelligent and should understand how to choose. On the battlefield of the heavens, how important is it to wipe out a 10,000-strong army of the myriad clans, even if it affects the local situation?”

Liu Wenyan said softly, “This is choice, this is the choice that human powerhouses and wise men should make! Sacrifice 1,000 people to wipe out 10,000 people, is to kill fewer people in the future, because this 10,000-strong army may create even greater slaughter.”

“Isn’t it cruel?”

Su Yu nodded silently. He hadn’t thought about this question. When Liu Wenyan asked just now, he felt it was too realistic, too cruel, and too ruthless.

“Su Yu, this is war!”

Liu Wenyan looked up at him. “Remember, this is war! It involves the survival of billions of humans, so we must make choices. Maybe you’ll say, how innocent are those 1,000 people? Yes, they’re too innocent. They’re our comrades, our compatriots, but… this is war!”

“Just like today, we know that the Myriad Clans Sect is likely to attack Nanyuan Academy today, but we also have to make a choice…”

“These past two days, things have been a bit chaotic outside the city. Several villages have been attacked, and many people have died, hundreds of people!”
“We’re stretched thin, the city guard’s forces are scattered. This can’t continue. Only by concentrating our efforts to eliminate them can Nan Yuan truly be stabilized. So… we need to make a choice now.”

“Do we risk the students, or continue to wait, waiting for them to slaughter more people!”

“In my eyes, the students are naturally more important, but the people outside the city are also lives. Su Yu, you students are all prospective warriors, so… we’ve decided to put you at a bit more risk. This is also the path you’ll be on in the future.”

Su Yu nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, “Teacher, I understand. I was just a little worried. As you said, we’re all warriors. Even though we’re weak, the day we entered the academy, we were already warriors. You and the Chancellor’s choice is right.”

“It’s good that you understand. If you can’t understand, then you don’t need to.” Liu Wenyan said softly, “If one day, you rise to a higher level, if you feel that sacrificing a Nan Yuan City can kill ten times, a hundred times more enemies, I hope you will choose to do it.”

“Even if you bear some infamy, don’t hesitate.”

Su Yu didn’t say anything, continuing to eat his meal. After he finished eating, Su Yu looked up at Liu Wenyan and said, “Teacher, when it comes down to it, it’s still because we’re not strong enough. If we were strong enough to crush the enemy, then none of these choices would exist, right?”

Liu Wenyan suddenly smiled, a smile of gratification.

“Well said, that’s exactly right. But we… are still not strong enough.”

“We will be. I believe we will be, because the human race is getting better and better, and there are more and more strong people.”

Liu Wenyan also nodded slightly, indeed.

The two didn’t say anything more. After finishing their meal, they walked towards the academy together.

…

“A’Yu!”

Chen Hao hadn’t seen Su Yu for two days, knowing that Su Yu was studying with Liu Wenyan. But at this moment, he was still very happy to see him, “I thought you’d been kidnapped by Instructor Liu! Finally, they let you come back. I feel like I’m about to reach the fourth level of Kai Yuan these past two days…”

“Yeah.”

Su Yu nodded slightly. At this moment, several instructors seemed to be passing by the classroom unintentionally. But Su Yu knew they were patrolling.

As soon as the battle started, these instructors would take the students away immediately.

“Haozi, stick with me today, don’t run around.”

“Why?” Chen Hao was bewildered, but quickly nodded, “Okay, but what about when I need to go to the bathroom?”

“…”

Su Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him. After thinking for a while, he said, “Go to the training building later and get two knives. We’re going to do some combat practice today.”

“Huh? A’Yu, aren’t you afraid of getting beaten up?”

Chen Hao asked strangely, “You can’t beat me anyway, you always get beaten.”

“I think I can beat you now!”

Su Yu glared at him, “Stop talking nonsense, just do as I say!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you!”

Chen Hao grinned. He was too lazy to think, and followed Su Yu, who always came up with ideas.

Su Yu still had a drop of essence blood. After considering it, Su Yu quickly got up and went to the resource center with Chen Hao.

“Teacher, exchange it for two drops of Iron Wing Bird essence blood.”

“Su Yu, you’re exchanging for this again?” The teacher at the resource center felt sorry for Su Yu. “Did your previous research fail?”

“Yeah.”

“Then…”

“Teacher, I think I’m about to grasp something. Exchange it for two more drops.”

“Then… alright!”

The teacher in charge was helpless. This little kid didn’t know the value of things, such a waste!

Wait until he goes to a higher academy, he’ll regret it.

He exchanged two more drops of essence blood for Su Yu. At this moment, Su Yu had 3 drops of essence blood, but only 7 merit points left.

…

After wandering around the academy for a while, Su Yu soon had a knife in his hand, and Chen Hao also had a knife.

Chen Hao felt that Su Yu was acting strange today. After getting the knives, he didn’t go to cultivate or practice martial skills. He didn’t know what this guy was going crazy about.

At this moment, it was already noon.

Su Yu held 3 drops of essence blood in his hand, thinking about the problem. 3 drops of essence blood could probably last for 15 minutes, but last time his arm swelled up after 5 minutes. If it really lasted for 15 minutes, his hand might be ruined.

“15 minutes shouldn’t be necessary for that long. Even if the people from the Myriad Clans Sect attack, they wouldn’t dare to fight for that long here. If it takes too long, they won’t be able to leave.”

“But… I can’t let anyone know that I’m using essence blood to explode with power, otherwise it’ll be troublesome. Unless absolutely necessary, don’t use essence blood. Besides, even if I explode with power and have ten thousand catties of battle power, it won’t change anything.”

The academy wasn’t short of Thousand Jun realm teachers. The key was still to look at the Ten Thousand Stone and the Soaring realm.

Su Yu looked around, his eyes flashing slightly. There were many strangers in the academy. Although they weren’t wearing armor, Su Yu still guessed that they were from the city guard, and some were from the Wind Catching Hall.

It seemed that Nan Yuan was also prepared. Either the other party would attack Nan Yuan Academy, or the City Lord’s Mansion.

Just as Su Yu was thinking, Chen Hao’s communicator rang. Chen Hao hurriedly answered, said a few words, then hung up and looked at Su Yu, “My dad called. He told me to be careful today and not to leave the academy. People from the Myriad Clans Sect have come. A lot of people have died outside the city these past two days…”

As Chen Hao spoke, he cursed, “These beasts! If I meet them, I’ll kill them all with one knife!”

“You?”

Su Yu glanced at him, not saying anything. Chen Hao’s face flushed red with anger, “If not now, can’t it be later? When I get to the War Academy, I’ll complete Kai Yuan in a year, reach the ninth level of Thousand Jun within three years, Ten Thousand Stone within five years, and Soaring within ten years…”

“That’s what geniuses can do. Are you… sure?”

“Screw you!”

Chen Hao looked dejected, as if it was a bit difficult.

Ten years to reach the Soaring realm was the treatment of a genius.

But, twenty years should be fine, right?

People under the age of 40 are considered to be in their golden cultivation period. If you still can’t reach the Soaring realm before 40, there’s almost no hope.

Not that there’s no hope at all, but as the body begins to decline, the hope is very small.
There aren’t too few people stuck at the ninth level of Myriad Stone their entire lives.

Su Long is almost 50. He has hope of reaching Myriad Stone from Thousand Jun, but probably has no hope of reaching Soaring.

Su Yu smiled and looked outside the academy. Has it begun?

The other side was making quite a commotion outside the city, naturally to get the city guards and even the Dragon Martial Guards to leave. The high-level officials of Nanyuan knew this, but they had no choice but to send people over.

Otherwise, countless people would die outside the city.

“They really are a bunch of unscrupulous beasts!”

Su Yu cursed in a low voice, and couldn’t help but wonder what was going on at the Great Xia Prefecture. Could it be that even a few Soaring experts couldn’t be sent to support them?

The Myriad Clan Cult seemed a little too unbridled. With such a big commotion, the remaining two thousand main force of the Dragon Martial Guards didn’t even come to investigate.

Are they being held up?

Then the power of the Myriad Clan Cult is too strong, right?

…

At the same time.

Great Xia Prefecture.

Xia Longwu was fully armored, his aura was amazing, and he sat upright on the throne.

Soon, a Dragon Martial Guard quickly entered the door and said loudly: “Report! Prefecture Lord, Nanyuan, Tianshui, Kaishan, Longmen… There are disturbances in 12 cities. The Myriad Clan Cult has appeared!”

“Rescue requests have been sent from various prefectures. Should we send reinforcements?”

Xia Longwu’s expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: “Send reinforcements, a team of fifty people, rushing to the 12 cities. Send people to the other 16 cities as well, just in case.”

“Understood!”

The Dragon Martial Guard quickly retreated.

At this moment, an old man dressed as a scholar below said softly: “Prefecture Lord, this is a diversion. I’m afraid the other party’s goal is still the Great Xia Prefecture.”

“I know.”

“The Dragon Martial Guards have now sent out thousands of people, and a large number of the prefecture army has also left. The Great Xia Prefecture is now…”

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Longwu said calmly: “It’s okay! If we don’t kill them until they feel the pain, they’ll have a hard time in the future! If the Dragon Martial Guards don’t leave, these guys won’t dare to show their heads.”

After speaking, Xia Longwu stood up, “Their target is probably me. They’ve transferred the Dragon Martial Guards away from me, and even the strong from the various academies have been transferred away for various reasons. Now 90% of the strong in the Great Xia Prefecture have left…”

“Prefecture Lord, why not ask for help from the Great Ming Prefecture…”

“Ridiculous, embarrassing!”

Xia Longwu snorted coldly, “My Great Xia Prefecture ranks higher than the Great Ming Prefecture, how can we ask them for help! Besides, there’s no need! Just a bunch of sneaky people. I’d like to see which beasts from the God Clan have sneaked in this time. Without the support of the God Clan, where would these guys get the courage!”

The old man frowned, “The God Clan has sneaked in?”

“It’s inevitable! Otherwise, how dare the Myriad Clan Cult run wild in the Great Xia Prefecture based on their own strength? That’s good too, the Great Xia Prefecture’s God Blood reserves are used up, and they just happen to be delivered to our door. I was still thinking about whether to go to the Battlefield of the Heavens these days, but it seems I don’t need to go now.”

Xia Longwu was still calm, “Later, you guard the city, I will go outside the city and kill a few beasts before returning!”

“Prefecture Lord…”

“Don’t say more!”

Xia Longwu’s eyes were sharp, “How can a few God Clan beasts do anything to me? I’m still worried that the Dragon Martial Blade hasn’t seen blood for a long time, now there’s finally a chance!”

After speaking, Xia Longwu strode out of the hall, his voice resounding: “After the God Clan dies, the Dragon Martial Guards will lead the prefecture army on an expedition, to wipe out all the Myriad Clan Cult members in the Great Xia Prefecture, capture them alive, and drag them all to the Great Xia Prefecture to be beheaded and displayed to the public! Tomorrow, I want to see ten thousand heads fall!”

“Understood!”

A low roar came!

In order to cooperate with the Myriad Clan Cult’s actions and lure out the God Clan, Xia Longwu has allowed the situation to be turbulent these days, just to avoid scaring away those God Clan members.

Now, it’s time to close the net.

The strong of the Great Xia Prefecture that should be transferred have all been transferred, now they should appear, right?

There are now less than a thousand Dragon Martial Guards remaining in the prefecture city, unable to form a thousand-man battle formation, that should be enough, right?

“You want to kill me, I’ll satisfy you. I’d like to see if you can kill me!”

A chuckle spread out, Xia Longwu soared into the sky, turned into a golden light and disappeared instantly from the city lord’s mansion, and left the city in the blink of an eye.

…

“Xia Longwu!”

When this golden light flickered and disappeared, outside the prefecture city, a cold snort came out.

What audacity!

I thought this guy wouldn’t dare to come out, or would continue to wait until the other powerhouses of Great Xia Prefecture returned. I originally thought that it would be necessary to continue to increase the intensity to force Xia Longwu to show up. Who would have thought that the other party would just come out directly.

“Go, besiege Xia Longwu!”

A low shout came out, and the next moment, someone said coldly: “Besiege? All the presidents of the major higher academies have left. Xia Longwu is nothing more than that. Do we still need to besiege? Today, I will cut off his head!”

“Foolish! Remember, besiege! Go all out, don’t be careless!”

A person in charge shouted coldly: “Xia Longwu may have already half-stepped into that realm, whoever wants to die, I won’t stop him!”

“Impossible, he has only cultivated for so many years, how could he…”

“Therefore, he must die! The Battlefield of the Heavens doesn’t need another invincible human powerhouse!”

“Okay!”

Several people quickly reached an agreement to besiege Xia Longwu. That guy might have already half-stepped into it, so he can’t be allowed to continue to grow stronger.

Several rays of light of different colors disappeared instantly, chasing after the golden light and disappearing together near the Great Xia Prefecture.
