Okay, here’s the English translation of the provided Chinese text:

The master and disciple walked back the same way they came, leaving early and returning late; this was their usual routine lately.

Once they entered the city, they went their separate ways.

Su Yu headed home, while Liu Wenyan went to the academy.

…

In front of the residential complex.

Chen Hao was in low spirits, squatting on the ground counting ants.

Hearing footsteps, he quickly looked up. Seeing Su Yu, he immediately complained, “A’Yu, what took you so long to get back!”

Seeing him waiting there, Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh, “What are you doing here?”

“Waiting for you, what else!”

Chen Hao grumbled, “You’ve been running around with Instructor Liu every day lately, what are you doing! Instructor Liu is really biased, he’s not even a private tutor, but he’s been taking you alone. The classmates are all gossiping.”

He was speaking with envy and jealousy written all over his face.

“Sky Soaring realm! Taking you alone, A’Yu, why don’t you talk to Instructor Liu and ask him to take me too!”

Before Liu Wenyan’s will manifested, as an instructor in the Thousand Pound realm, even with excellent multi-language skills, he was only considered an ordinary instructor.

But when Liu Wenyan’s will reached the Sky Soaring realm, in the blink of an eye, he became one of the top figures in Nanyuan City.

City Lord Wu Wenhua was only at the second level of Sky Soaring, and Liu Wenyan had killed a second-level Sky Soaring realm expert before that. This news had already spread throughout the small city of Nanyuan.

Now, which student at the Nanyuan Academy doesn’t hope to have more contact with Liu Wenyan?

Even if the students don’t understand, wouldn’t the parents?

Chen Hao’s father would come home every day and scold him, saying Chen Hao wasn’t as good as Su Yu. Look at Su Yu, Liu Wenyan is training him as his direct disciple. You, on the other hand, have such a good relationship with Su Yu, but you can’t even get close.

“Are you sure you want me to bring you along?”

Su Yu said with a smile, “If you’re sure, I’ll talk to Instructor Liu tomorrow.”

“Forget it!”

Chen Hao, who had been indignant just now, immediately deflated, and said dryly, “I wouldn’t dare. I tremble just standing next to Instructor Liu. He’s much fiercer than before.”

“He’s not fierce. It’s just that his will has just manifested, and his body hasn’t been tempered yet, so he can’t quite control it.”

Su Yu helped explain. This guy was just good at talking big.

Liu Wenyan wasn’t really fierce. The key was that after his willpower manifested, his physical body wasn’t tempered. He had just entered the Ten Thousand Stone realm, and he couldn’t quite control his willpower, making him appear somewhat imposing.

As a result, Chen Hao and the other newbies naturally found him fierce.

Chen Hao didn’t quite understand what he was saying, but he didn’t care. He instantly dropped the previous topic and walked with Su Yu, beaming, “A’Yu, I’m almost at the fourth level of the Elementary Opening realm!”

“I feel like my ears have been ringing lately. Do you think I’ll be able to open my acupoints soon?”

“So you’re looking for me just to show off?”

“No way!”

Chen Hao protested, “Even if I’m at the fourth level of the Elementary Opening realm, aren’t you also at the fourth level of the Elementary Opening realm? I wasn’t planning on showing off when I came to you. It’s my dad, he wants to treat you to a meal because I took credit for that last accomplishment, didn’t I?”

“I said I killed them, and my dad beat me up, saying I was talking nonsense! Then… I said you and I did it together, and he believed it, saying you have a good brain and you let me have it. He kept saying he would treat you to a meal, but you’ve been running around this month, and I can’t catch you.”

Chen Hao looked pitiful. He got beaten up badly by his dad last month.

My dad is really something. A’Yu is only at the fourth level of the Elementary Opening realm.

Why didn’t he believe me when I said I killed them? When he said Su Yu was there, he was sure Su Yu did it. It’s unfair!

He almost believed it himself, that he was the one who killed them. As a result, he was beaten up a few times by his dad and instantly woke up, remembering that it wasn’t him who killed them, but A’Yu. It’s so strange, why do I always feel like I was the one who killed them?

“Why is Uncle Chen being so polite?”

Su Yu said with a smile, “Didn’t you spend the money? More than 10,000. You also gave me the merit points, and the extra 30 points are useless to me.”

“I said we don’t need to be polite with our own people, but my dad insisted on treating you.”

Chen Hao said casually, “Then let’s have a meal. Anyway, Uncle Su isn’t home, so you’ll just be eating instant noodles when you get back.”

“Okay, then.”

Su Yu didn’t stand on ceremony. He was familiar with Chen Hao’s father, and he often saw him when his own father was home.

But since Su Long left, and Su Yu often went out with Liu Wenyan, he hadn’t been to Chen’s house anymore.

Chen Hao didn’t say much and continued to walk with Su Yu, saying as he walked, “A’Yu, have you improved your strength by going out with Instructor Liu?”

“I’ve improved a little.”

“Then how long will it take you to reach the fifth level of the Elementary Opening realm?”

Chen Hao said somewhat sullenly, “Someone in the class is saying bad things about you. It’s that Zhou Chong. Wasn’t he at the fourth level of the Elementary Opening realm before? You haven’t been around these days, and he’s actually at the fifth level of the Elementary Opening realm, saying you rely on your little bit of cleverness and just know how to please Instructor Liu. Even if you get into the Civilization Academy, you won’t be anything special.”

Su Yu said indifferently, “Why bother with him? Use that time to cultivate properly.”

“A’Yu, you can’t say that!”

Chen Hao said unhappily, “I’m going to duel with him. Anyway, the difference between the fourth and fifth levels isn’t that big. When I reach the fourth level, I’ll go settle the score with him, for talking bad about people behind their backs!”

“If you didn’t stop me from saying it, I would have said you killed a Thousand Pound realm expert. This guy, so cocky!”

He was still indignant. So what if he’s at the fifth level of the Elementary Opening realm?

Big deal!

A’Yu even killed two experts at the seventh level of the Thousand Pound realm!

He angrily cursed a few times, and seeing that Su Yu really didn’t seem to care, Chen Hao couldn’t help but ask, “You have a lot of wounds on your body. Have you been in special training lately? Have you reached the fifth level of the Elementary Opening realm?”

Su Yu’s current appearance was indeed not very good, with many bloodstains on his face.

Hearing Chen Hao ask again, Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh, “Fifth level of the Elementary Opening realm? Haozi, can you raise your horizons a little!”

“What do you mean?”

“The sky in Nanyuan… is too low!”

To this close friend, Su Yu still spoke a few words from the heart, sighing, “Nanyuan is too small, the sky is too low, and everyone’s horizons are too low! Elementary Opening… what is Elementary Opening?”
“In Great Xia Prefecture, there are many at the ninth level of Kaiyuan, just waiting to enter the Thousand Jun realm.”

“More than just Kaiyuan… someone killed a fifth-level Tengkong within half a year of entering the academy!”

“Haozi, Tengkong! The sky in Nanyuan is only as high as Tengkong!”

“The City Lord is only at the Tengkong realm, but in Great Zhou Prefecture, a student who has been in the academy for half a year can kill a Tengkong, stronger than the City Lord. What’s the point of competing in Nanyuan!”

In the past, Su Yu would have really argued with that Zhou Chong.

But now, he really couldn’t be bothered.

Fifth level of Kaiyuan?

True, it’s remarkable in Nanyuan, but the sky in Nanyuan is frighteningly low. After seeing Bai Feng and hearing about the deeds of that genius in Great Zhou Prefecture, he couldn’t muster any interest in arguing.

Liu Wenyan and Bai Feng had opened the door to another world for him, allowing this Nanyuan native to see a larger world.

Now, listening to Chen Hao talk about these things, he only found it amusing, with no other thoughts.

“Ayu…”

Chen Hao was a bit bewildered. “What you’re saying, what does it have to do with us? The geniuses of Great Xia Prefecture, the geniuses of Great Zhou Prefecture, that’s their business, it has nothing to do with us, right?”

Su Yu’s words were too distant for Chen Hao.

Does it have anything to do with us?

“Why does it have nothing to do with us?”

Su Yu turned his head to look at him. “Are you willing to be mediocre your whole life? We’re all people, can’t we become the geniuses in other people’s eyes?”

“But…”

Chen Hao wanted to say something, but found himself speechless, and said with some frustration, “That’s too far away. I’m just asking if you’re at the fifth level of Kaiyuan, why are you telling me all this?”

“Seventh level of Kaiyuan.”

Su Yu said with a light smile, “I’m planning to break through in the next few days, to see if I can reach the eighth level of Kaiyuan.”

“…”

Chen Hao was stunned. He wanted to reach out and touch Su Yu’s head, but Su Yu slapped his hand away.

“Not dreaming, really at the seventh level of Kaiyuan.”

Su Yu stepped into the building, saying as he walked, “There are still 24 days until the assessment. Reaching the eighth level shouldn’t be a problem for me, but the ninth level might be a bit difficult. But there’s still a month after the assessment, so I have a chance to reach the ninth level of Kaiyuan before entering the academy.”

“And that’s because I’ve been spending a lot of time on other things recently, otherwise I should have advanced even faster.”

“Haozi, can you understand what I mean now? Zhou Chong’s fifth level of Kaiyuan really isn’t a big deal in my eyes. If you want to go to the War Academy, if you want to become stronger in the future, if you want to have a good life, then you have to put in more effort.”

“Stop staring at the Kaiyuan realm all day long, look further.”

Chen Hao was in a daze, and after a long while, he said, “Even if I stare at Tengkong, I still won’t reach Tengkong.”

“Your vision determines your future. If you focus solely on Kaiyuan, then Kaiyuan will be your sky, and you’ll lose the motivation to go higher.”

Su Yu said seriously, “Before, I thought that reaching the Ten Thousand Stone realm in this lifetime would be enough, stronger than my dad! Or reaching Tengkong, I might be able to become a City Lord in Nanyuan. But since I’ve seen more and heard more, now I think Tengkong is just the starting point. I’m thinking about much more.”

“Actually, I’ve been working harder in the past month or so than before, because I know that I’m nothing special. Am I a genius? Not really, at most I have a bit of talent. Throw me into Great Xia Prefecture, and I’m just an ordinary person, nothing to be proud of.”

The illustrated book in his mind was one point, driving Su Yu to want to become stronger.

But since hearing about the world from Liu Wenyan and the others, Su Yu had indeed changed a bit. He had previously learned 18 different races’ languages, and he thought he was very powerful, very excellent. He had originally planned to relax for these two months.

But since learning about the world of Civilization Masters, the world of geniuses, he was no longer satisfied with his previous thoughts.

Tengkong is not the end, it’s just the beginning!

So in the past month or so, no matter how hard or tiring it was, he hadn’t complained once, because he knew it was necessary.

Other people have better family backgrounds than him, stronger talents than him. If he doesn’t work hard to catch up, how can he rise up?

“Ayu, you’ve changed.”

Chen Hao muttered, “You’ve changed since Uncle Su left. Does that mean… if your dad leaves, you can become more motivated? Maybe… I should separate from my dad…”

“…”

Su Yu stared at him in a daze. I’ve said so much, and you’ve come to the conclusion that you should separate from your dad? How is your brain wired?

“A rotten piece of wood cannot be carved!”

Su Yu cursed!

Liu Wenyan had been cursing him like this frequently these past few days. He thought it was lucky that Liu Wenyan hadn’t taken Chen Hao, otherwise the old man would have exploded with anger.

Chen Hao ignored him and muttered again, “You’re really at the seventh level of Kaiyuan, and about to reach the eighth level? That’s impossible. You were only at the fourth level of Kaiyuan last month, how did you suddenly reach the seventh level of Kaiyuan?”

“Nothing is impossible!”

Su Yu thought for a moment and said, “It’s unlikely that you’ll suddenly become very strong, but you can prepare yourself. For example, starting now, spend an extra hour each day practicing martial arts. When you reach the eighth level of Kaiyuan, you can save the time you spend practicing martial arts.”

“Read more books. Putting everything else aside, have you really thoroughly understood the *Kaiyuan Sutra*?”

“Read it dozens of times every day, understand it thoroughly, and you’ll find it smoother when you cultivate.”

“I have a copy of the *Kaiyuan Sutra* here, written by Teacher Bai Feng. Its power has weakened a lot now, but it’s just right for you to look at. You can read it more often when you have time.”

The *Kaiyuan Sutra* written by Bai Feng, Chen Hao wouldn’t have been able to read it at first, because his willpower wasn’t strong enough.

But now, its power is gradually dissipating, so Chen Hao can read it.

Although it’s not as powerful as when it was written, there’s still some Tengkong power in it. If he can gain something from it, at least his cultivation in the Kaiyuan realm can be twice as effective.

Chen Hao scratched his head, feeling a little excited and a little distressed, “I’m afraid of reading books, I fall asleep as soon as I look at them…”

“Then endure it!”

Su Yu opened the door and said unhappily, “If you don’t cherish the opportunity when it’s given to you, then don’t think about becoming stronger, just return to Nanyuan after reaching the Thousand Jun realm! Don’t go to the Battlefield of the Heavens to die! A guy who doesn’t know how to seize the opportunity when it’s offered to him doesn’t deserve to talk about becoming stronger!”

“I don’t want to have to go to the Battlefield of the Heavens to collect your corpse one day!””Bah!” Chen Hao muttered, “If anyone’s collecting, it should be my parents…”

“I…”

Su Yu was too lazy to scold him, this guy was hopeless!

“Ayu, thank you!”

Chen Hao suddenly said, a little dejectedly, “I am a bit dumb, not as smart as you. You’re right, I’m just rotten wood. You’re so smart, and you work even harder than me. I want to catch up with you… probably like my dad said, there’s no hope in this lifetime.”

“Then I’ll listen to you. From now on, I’ll spend an extra hour each day practicing martial arts, and another hour… reading!”

Chen Hao said it with some difficulty. Spending two extra hours each day was so painful!

Practicing martial arts was alright, but spending an extra hour reading… it was killing him!

“Or… one and a half hours of martial arts practice, and half an hour of reading?”

He hesitantly looked at Su Yu, wondering what he thought.

Su Yu felt exhausted, “You brute!”

“Stop talking nonsense. You’ll read here with me. You read, I cultivate. I’ll keep an eye on you, it’ll be good for you!”

When he cultivated, he devoured essence blood, which allowed Yuan Qi to gather. It would indeed be beneficial.

In the future, he could cultivate in the room, and Chen Hao could read outside. Reading in an environment with denser Yuan Qi would help him open his acupoints.

Moreover, he was planning to take that half drop of Yuan Qi liquid in the next few days, which would make the Yuan Qi even denser.

“Okay, but I fall asleep when I read alone…”

“That’s why you’re only in the Opening Yuan realm, third level, and I’m about to reach the eighth!”

Su Yu rolled his eyes, went into the bathroom to wash up, changed his clothes, and said, “Don’t talk about me reaching the Opening Yuan realm, seventh level, to others, it’s pointless. Also, next time Zhou Chong says bad things about me, you go beat him up.”

“Huh?”

Chen Hao was stunned. Didn’t he just say not to bother with it?

“What ‘huh’? It’s to train your combat ability!”

Su Yu said matter-of-factly, “He’s a target delivered to your door, Opening Yuan realm, fifth level, perfect for you! Beat him up, beat him black and blue, beat him until he doesn’t dare to talk nonsense anymore, until he’s afraid when he sees you! Do you want me to do it?”

“Me, someone who has killed a Ten Thousand Stone realm expert, bully a little kid?”

“If anyone in the academy dares to talk nonsense again, you go up and challenge them, take on everyone you meet, don’t be afraid of getting beaten, getting beaten is also a form of training!”

“If you don’t have any courage, what Dao are you cultivating!”

Su Yu was just repeating Liu Wenyan’s words. Speaking of which, ordering his little brother around was pretty fun.

Chen Hao nodded blankly, muttering, “What if girls say that too…”

“Hit them!”

Su Yu said sternly, “Is there a difference between men and women on the battlefield? Don’t the women of the Gods, Demons, and Myriad Races kill people? Don’t they kill you? Just hit them, just don’t beat them too badly!”

“Oh…”

Chen Hao felt like something was off, but what Ayu said seemed to make sense too.

“You have to hit the girls properly. If they don’t study hard and just gossip, if you don’t hit them, they’ll think you’re a pushover. Haozi, men and women are the same. Anyway, anyone who says bad things about me, you go up and beat them, and that’s all there is to it!”

“Oh, but… what if their parents are called?”

“What are you afraid of? If their parents are called, are the Ten Thousand Stone realm experts going to bully you? You tell them that the academy is to train strong people. Anyone below the Opening Yuan realm, eighth level, can come at you. You’re invincible in a one-on-one fight. Whoever is afraid is a grandson! If they’re capable, they can find someone in the Opening Yuan realm, seventh level, to beat you. You can be beaten as badly as you want, but don’t call your parents. You can’t afford to lose that face!”

Su Yu gave him ideas and encouraged him, “The combat power of those in the Opening Yuan realm, seventh level, is just so-so. As long as you’re not afraid psychologically, they might not be able to beat you. If you, someone in the Opening Yuan realm, third level, can subdue those in the seventh level, who would dare to provoke you? What can their parents say? If they still have something to say, you can report it to the mansion head, saying that it’s unreasonable to bully the weak with strength!”

“Your dad is also the deputy director of the Supervision Office, so how dare those people really do anything to you? It’s just kids fighting, who would take it seriously.”

Chen Hao nodded repeatedly, thinking it made perfect sense.

“Then… shall I start fighting tomorrow?”

“Yeah, tomorrow when you go to the academy, beat Zhou Chong up first. After you’re done, shout out loud that anyone who’s not convinced can come find you. Maybe they’ll voluntarily offer themselves up for you to beat up. These are all good opportunities for combat. You usually don’t get these opportunities. Isn’t a free sparring partner good?”

Su Yu washed up, changed his clothes, walked out of the bathroom, and continued, “Let’s go eat. Oh right, if your dad asks, don’t say I told you to do it, just say you wanted to practice combat. Otherwise, your dad will come after me. It’s not good to betray your friends!”

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t say it.”

Chen Hao patted his chest. He was a real man, why would he tell his parents everything? Did they think he was a child?

Su Yu gave him a thumbs up, smiling, “Oh right, when you’re fighting, find an instructor to watch, otherwise you won’t know when to stop. If the instructor speaks up, just say you’re practicing combat. The academy won’t stop you.”

“Okay.”

“Also, when you’re hitting girls, shout that men and women are all cultivators. You’re not bullying women. If they’re not willing to fight one-on-one, then don’t keep nagging, otherwise it’ll be embarrassing if you make them cry.”

“Okay, I’ll remember that.”

“Oh, and when you’re fighting girls, don’t hit them in the face, otherwise it’ll be hard to explain.”

“Oh, anything else?”

“Anything else… absolutely don’t say I taught you this!”

“No way, don’t worry!”

“…”

Su Yu gave him instructions for a long time, and soon, they arrived at Chen’s house.

Chen Hao felt that he had benefited greatly and was eager to try. Starting tomorrow, he would officially engage in combat!

He, Chen Hao, was going to fight all over Nanyuan Academy. Free sparring partners, according to Ayu, if he charged 100 yuan an hour for a sparring partner, and he fought for three hours a day, then he would earn 300 yuan!

He, Chen Hao, would earn at least 10,000 yuan a month, and he would use all of that as his private money to hire sparring partners!

As expected, Ayu was still smarter and knew how to calculate.
