Chapter 33: The Big Loser | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]

South Yuan.
These past two days, the academy has been in an uproar. Chen Hao, who was at the third level of the Kaiyuan realm, broke through to the fourth level and challenged Zhou Chong, who was at the fifth level of the Kaiyuan realm…
There is almost no difference between the fourth and fifth levels of the Kaiyuan realm. In reality, they are all ordinary people.
Zhou Chong’s realm was higher than Chen Hao’s, but in a one-on-one fight, he was beaten to a pulp by Chen Hao.
This wasn’t the end of it. After beating Zhou Chong, Chen Hao felt it was too short and continued to challenge others. On the first day, he fought with more than ten students.
He won some and lost some, but Chen Hao didn’t care. He treated it as practical training.
In this way, in less than three days, Chen Hao had fought at least thirty times. If he didn’t have so many bruises on his body, and his mother hadn’t forced him to stay home to recover for a day, he would have continued fighting.
Chen Hao didn’t come, but he started a trend at South Yuan Academy.
In the past, everyone thought the fourth level of the Kaiyuan realm was amazing, and the fifth level was like a star in the sky.
But now, after seeing Chen Hao beat them all,
it seemed to open up a new world for everyone. In the past, some students were often bullied by geniuses, but now they were all excited. Chen Hao wasn’t coming to school, and the academy was even more lively that day.
There were more than one or two people shouting to challenge geniuses. Zhou Chong had a foul mouth and offended many people. Because of his status as a genius, he wouldn’t back down. That day, he fought at least six or seven students.
Win or lose, he would get injured. Now, people who didn’t know him well could hardly recognize him.
…………
“Nonsense!”
In the office, Liu Wenyan shook his head, feeling both amused and annoyed.
He knew who instigated it!
Chen Hao was simple and honest. He wouldn’t have challenged Zhou Chong without someone’s instigation. It was obviously Su Yu’s doing.
Beside him, the old headmaster continued to stroke his beard. He had pulled out a lot of his beard these days.
Sighing, the old headmaster lamented, “These youngsters have so much energy! The exams are coming up, and they still won’t settle down. A little commotion is good, it gives them passion for cultivation, but…”
The old headmaster was almost in tears, “But, don’t hit the girls! I’m worried about them in the future! There aren’t many girls in the War Academy to begin with. If they bring this habit to the War Academy, will South Yuan… become a bachelor’s den?”
Liu Wenyan’s body trembled slightly. Yes, the problem was serious!
“Chen Hao this kid… deserves a beating!”
Liu Wenyan also became more worried. What was going to happen to this year’s students at South Yuan?
Now they were all shouting “gender equality, no distinction between men and women on the battlefield,” equality my ass!
You guys are all so direct, what will you do in the future?
Could it be… that this year’s male students will all be single until they die?
The old headmaster sighed, “This trend is not only corrupting this year’s class, but the younger classes are watching too. There are still many eleven or twelve-year-old children in the academy. These past two days, I heard other instructors say that many male students are preparing to challenge female students…”
“Are they stupid?” Liu Wenyan was speechless.
“They’re not stupid, it’s being spread by the senior students. They say that hitting girls represents a firm will in cultivation and helps with cultivation progress.”
“…”
Liu Wenyan looked at the old headmaster, and the old headmaster looked back at him. Suddenly, both old men looked dejected.
They couldn’t let this spread!
If this continued, in a few years, the entire South Yuan Academy would become a monastery.
It was too terrible!
And if this bad reputation spread, and even the Great Xia Prefecture knew about it, would South Yuan students still be able to find love with girls when they got to the Great Xia Prefecture?
What were they thinking!
The old headmaster sighed again, “Let’s send this class of students away first. Lao Liu, let’s not talk about this. Have you heard the news from the Great Xia Civilization Academy?”
As the strongest secondary academy in South Yuan, it naturally had connections with the various academies in the Great Xia Prefecture.
Some news would spread quickly.
Moreover, there were some South Yuan Academy graduates in the academies, so the old headmaster was well-informed.
Liu Wenyan nodded slightly, then dismissed it, “It’s an old tradition, nothing new! The key isn’t Su Yu, it’s Bai Feng. That guy just broke through to the seventh level of the Soaring realm, making him much more of a threat.”
“Before, when he was at the sixth level of the Soaring realm, he was also very good, but in the Great Xia Civilization Academy, there were still seven or eight people his age at the sixth level of the Soaring realm, and several at the late stage of the Soaring realm. It was even controversial whether he was in the top ten, but now that he has quickly broken through… it naturally attracts attention.”
Bai Feng taking on a disciple wouldn’t have been so sensational originally.
If he had taken on a student at the sixth level, although some people would have paid attention, it definitely wouldn’t have been as serious as it was now.
The key was that he was at the seventh level!
Although there was only one level difference between the sixth and seventh levels, it meant that Bai Feng had almost no bottlenecks for the eighth and ninth levels of the Soaring realm.
In this way, Bai Feng had risen to the top five of the Great Xia Civilization Academy.
This referred to Bai Feng’s batch of people, not the old guards of the academy.
The old headmaster worried, “Will Su Yu be affected? I heard that every time this happens, there is fierce competition over there, not only in the Civilization Academy but also in the War Academy. Some people even lose their lives…”
“That happens in very rare cases.” Liu Wenyan was clearer than him, explaining, “There are people watching behind the scenes. The deaths you mentioned are mostly accidental.”
“Even accidents happen.”
The old headmaster worried, “Su Yu is a student from a secondary academy who has suddenly been drawn into this. Lao Liu, I’m thinking… should he go to the Civilization Academy? He’s at the seventh level of the Kaiyuan realm now, and he’s guaranteed to pass the War Academy exam. What do you think…”
“No!”
Liu Wenyan frowned, “Even if he achieves something at the War Academy, it will definitely not be as high as at the Civilization Academy! Going to the Civilization Academy now is a hurdle, but if he gets over it, he will be able to go faster, higher, and further!”

“Lao Liu, he’s only 18 years old, he doesn’t understand anything.”
Liu Wenyan firmly said, “He can learn if he doesn’t understand, no one is born understanding! Su Yu is resilient and small setbacks won’t break him. Once he gets through it, he will be the best!”
“You see this as a crisis, I see it as an opportunity. If he were an ordinary student, it would take him at least five years to come into contact with this field. But now, as soon as he enters the academy, he can interact with this group of the most outstanding young people. It will only help his future, not hinder it.”
“As for danger… it’s not that serious.” Liu Wenyan said in a deep voice, “Bai Feng is not weak among the younger generation, and his teacher is also one of the few top-level senior researchers at the Civilization Academy.”
“Su Yu’s starting point is not low. Only a high starting point can make it easier for him to progress!”
“Besides… Su Yu is no worse than anyone else!”
Speaking of this, Liu Wenyan smiled, “We haven’t updated the data from the Great Xia Civilization Academy. The fact that he’s at the fifth level of the Kaiyuan realm and speaks eighteen languages of the myriad races will be kept secret for now! We’ll keep it a secret to give Su Yu time to prepare. When he gets to the Civilization Academy, we’ll catch them off guard!”
Seeing that he had a plan, the old academy head no longer tried to dissuade him and asked, “Is there any hope for him to reach the eighth level of the Kaiyuan realm?”
In the past two days, Su Yu hadn’t been on missions. He would come to the academy to clock in, learn some languages of the myriad races from Liu Wenyan, and then go home.
He was preparing to break through to the eighth level of the Kaiyuan realm.
The eighth level of the Kaiyuan realm is a major dividing line in the Kaiyuan realm. After breaking through, Su Yu will be able to use Yuan energy, which will make him more explosive. Combined with the divine runes, it will be easier for him to kill someone in the Thousand Pound realm with a sneak attack.
“I don’t know.”
Liu Wenyan hesitated, “He’s been progressing very quickly recently. In less than two months, he’s gone from the fourth level to the seventh level, and he’s about to reach the eighth level. Bai Feng’s ‘Kaiyuan Art’ has helped him a lot, but at the seventh level of the Kaiyuan realm, the help from the Willpower Rune is limited.”
“Didn’t you say you were going to write a Willpower Rune for him? Why don’t you write him another ‘Kaiyuan Art’?”
The old academy head was still looking forward to Su Yu’s breakthrough. If he broke through, Su Yu would be the first genius in Nanyuan in twenty years to reach the eighth level of the Kaiyuan realm.
Twenty years ago, Nanyuan did produce someone at the eighth level of the Kaiyuan realm, but… it was a bit fake.
That person came from the Great Xia Prefecture and was temporarily enrolled. He left after the assessment.
“It’s useless for me to write that now.”
Liu Wenyan shook his head, then smiled and said, “I’ve already decided what to write for him, but you’ll have to spend some money.”
“What are you going to write?” The old academy head became wary.
“‘Thunder Yuan Saber,’ the first chapter, the Thousand Pound chapter!”
Liu Wenyan said in a deep voice, “He doesn’t actually lack cultivation techniques. He’ll have them when he gets to the Civilization Academy. But he lacks combat skills! He lacks combat skills with Willpower inheritance! Learning ordinary combat skills is okay, but it’s too slow. Only by writing combat skills with Willpower Runes can he quickly gain inheritance and master this combat skill.”
“‘Thunder Yuan Saber’! A low-grade Xuan-level combat skill?”
The old academy head looked at him in surprise and said, “Can he do it? No, can you do it? Can you write the Thousand Pound chapter of ‘Thunder Yuan Saber’ right now?”
The strength of a Civilization Master lies not only in their martial prowess. In fact, Warriors are not weak in terms of martial prowess.
But Civilization Masters are strong in many areas, such as Willpower Runes. Bai Feng wrote a half-baked “Kaiyuan Art,” and Su Yu gained a lot from it. He broke through to the eighth level of the Kaiyuan realm without using much essence blood. This was all due to the influence of that Willpower Rune.
“Can’t I do it?”
Liu Wenyan glared and blew his beard. “It’s just a low-grade Xuan-level, and only the Thousand Pound chapter. Can’t I do it? Who are you looking down on?”
“But… you have to spend some money! I want a hundred drops of Thunder Beast’s essence blood, at the Thousand Pound realm. Also, I want the Thunder Beast’s horn ground into powder, and I need you to provide a piece of Ten Thousand Stone realm beast hide for me to copy ‘Thunder Yuan Saber’ onto.”
“You…”
The old academy head’s eyes widened as he calculated with his fingers, “A hundred drops of Thunder Beast’s essence blood, at the Thousand Pound realm, that’s 100 merit points. A Thunder Beast’s horn is 5 merit points per piece, and a Ten Thousand Stone realm beast hide suitable for copying Xuan-level combat skills would cost at least 10 merit points…”
“115 merit points, are you robbing me?”
“Vulgar!”
Liu Wenyan rebuked, “You’re too vulgar! You associate everything with money! It’s just 100-plus merit points. Didn’t the academy receive an extra 1,000 merit points the last time the Myriad Races Cult attacked and was annihilated?”
“That’s the academy’s foundation!”
“What foundation? Didn’t I kill a Soaring realm cultivator? I’m too lazy to calculate it. Did you embezzle those merit points?”
“What do you mean I embezzled them!”
The old academy head jumped up in anger. “Don’t play dumb with me. You exchanged them for a Soaring realm Myriad Races Original yourself, did you forget? You spent all your own merit points and still owe the Great Xia Civilization Academy a lot!”
“The Great Xia Prefecture isn’t going to hold it against you, but you’re really pushing it!”
“Do you have any shame?”
“Are you even human? Accusing me of embezzling these merit points, I…”
Liu Wenyan coughed lightly and interrupted, “I remember, didn’t I have to improve my strength to protect Nanyuan? Shouldn’t that be considered a public expense for Nanyuan? Ahem, okay, okay, let’s say it’s my own. Then now that we’re nurturing a genius for Nanyuan, shouldn’t the academy support us a little?”
“Think about it, Su Yu is a rare genius in Nanyuan. I’m writing ‘Thunder Yuan Saber’ for him. Anyway, it’s difficult to copy it directly with my own willpower. If he learns ‘Thunder Yuan Saber,’ he’ll be able to establish himself in the Great Xia Prefecture. What do you think?”
“If he gets first place in the exam, won’t the Nanyuan Academy have face? Won’t we have contributed?”
“If he does well in the Great Xia Prefecture, will he repay the academy in the future?”
“If he reaches the Soaring realm, or even the Sky Breaker realm, and just leaks a little bit of profit, if he’s in the mood one day, and comes to the academy to copy a few Willpower Runes, wouldn’t one Willpower Rune be worth more than what you’re paying today?”
“Old Wang! You have to look at things from a long-term perspective. You’re already so old, why are you still so shortsighted!”
Liu Wenyan said with heartache, “He has talent, resilience, a good foundation, and he’s someone who remembers favors. If you don’t spend a little money now, why would he succeed and repay you?”
The old academy head tugged at his beard, breaking off a few more strands, and sighed for a long time, “A hundred-plus merit points!”
“What’s that? Just killing a Soaring realm cultivator.”
“You… that’s it. Why don’t you try killing another one and see what happens!”
Liu Wenyan said impatiently, “Why so much nonsense? What are merit points for? The academy made quite a bit from teaching last time, and nobody needs to use them for now, so just consider it for my use. As a soaring Civilization Master, I have basic merit point consumption needs. The Great Xia Prefecture will definitely allocate funds later.”
As a Civilization Master, even though he wasn’t in the Civilization Academy, he still had basic research expenses.
Copying Willpower Essays and tempering the physical body both require resource consumption.
Although Liu Wenyan was just an adjunct Civilization Master, according to the rules, he was still entitled to a portion of basic income.
The old Mansion Lord glared at him with wide eyes, “Allocate funds? I asked last time, and Great Xia Prefecture said you owe them 30,000 merit points. You’ll never be able to pay it back in your lifetime, so forget about it!”
“Thirty thousand?”
Liu Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then asked strangely, “Only 30,000? When I left the academy back then, I owed over 100,000. How is it only 30,000 now?”
“…”
The old Mansion Lord was speechless. Damn it, you knew!
Taking a deep breath, the old Mansion Lord said angrily, “Anyway, your chance is long gone. I’ll give you the stuff, but… I have to say this upfront. When Su Yu manifests his willpower one day, he has to find time to return a Willpower Essay!”
“That’s for sure. If he doesn’t return one, I’ll write another one when my willpower recovers.”
Liu Wenyan laughed. He finally didn’t have to spend his meager savings.
The old Mansion Lord sighed again, then couldn’t help but complain, “The Great Xia Prefecture isn’t even allocating basic merit points to you. What are you going to do with your body tempering next? If you drag it out for a few more years, how old will you be?”
“If they don’t give it, they don’t give it.”
Liu Wenyan chuckled, “Anyway, I have enough to eat and drink. Speaking of which, I only owe 30,000. Did you ask about the situation?”
“I asked. Researcher Wu paid back 50,000 for you.”
Liu Wenyan frowned, and after a long while, he cursed in a low voice, “Idiot!”
“Huh?”
“Lacking a screw in his brain! More debts don’t worry me, what’s the point of paying back 50,000! Besides, the merit points owed to Great Xia Prefecture aren’t real merit points. I just said some harsh words in a fit of anger back then, my brain was flooded, I didn’t really borrow that many merit points!”
Liu Wenyan was somewhat helpless. 50,000 merit points was no small amount!
It was a lot!
He was too lazy to talk about it anymore, and changed the subject, “Let’s not talk about this. Prepare the stuff as soon as possible. I’ll transcribe the ‘Thunder Essence Saber’ tomorrow. If this kid can learn it, even at Origin Opening level 8, he can easily deal with ordinary Thousand Pound level 2 or 3 with the ‘Thunder Essence Saber’ and his divine runes.”
At this time, the old Mansion Lord couldn’t care less about being distressed, and nodded. If that kid really achieved something, whether or not he would repay the academy depended on his conscience.
Liu Wenyan was, after all, here. As a soaring Civilization Master, he was only talking. If Liu Wenyan really insisted, even if all the academy’s accumulated assets were used, no one could object.
As he was leaving, the old Mansion Lord suddenly turned his head and said, “Old Liu, if it really doesn’t work… just give up! Switch to using demon blood for body tempering, you’ll be at the soaring level 3 soon, and in a few years, you might even enter the Soaring Sky or Mountain Sea realm!”
Liu Wenyan smiled and said, “Give up what? I don’t understand.”
“Old Liu… you’re over seventy!”
The old Mansion Lord’s eyes were complex. Over seventy, he was really not young anymore.
Liu Wenyan glared at him and puffed out his beard, “What’s wrong with being over seventy! You’re a Ten Thousand Stone realm cultivator, and you’re questioning my soaring? Do you even know how soaring cultivators fly?”
“…”
The old Mansion Lord was caught between laughter and tears, muttered a few words, and quickly left.
Old geezer, still like this after so many years.
After he left, Liu Wenyan exhaled and said unhappily, “Demon blood… am I stupid! Demon blood, they want to take it away with just a few drops of soaring demon blood? In my dreams! Back then, I owed over 100,000 merit points… they’d need to give me the complete corpse of a Myriad Clan King, or something like that!”
“Over seventy…”
Liu Wenyan muttered to himself. He really wasn’t young anymore.
Wait a bit longer!
If this kid, Su Yu, can really go far, and… he still needs to be observed further.
Five years isn’t enough!
Ten years, he needs to observe for at least another five years. When he gets to Great Xia Prefecture, he has to continue observing him, to see if he can maintain his original intention, and continue to be resilient and forge ahead.
“I’m not dead yet… I can still hold on!”
Liu Wenyan murmured. If Su Yu doesn’t work out, he’ll continue to wait, until he dies, and then return to the Civilization Academy.
“Wu… since you went there, I’m counting on you.”
Liu Wenyan looked out the window. He’s waited for fifty years, what’s a little more time?
The next moment, the sentimental Liu Wenyan suddenly cursed, “Idiot! 50,000 merit points, why didn’t you give them to me! You actually used them to pay off debts, as stupid as you were fifty years ago!”
“No wonder after so many years, you’re still just a senior researcher, and haven’t even become a Deputy Mansion Lord!”
“Civilization Masters rely on their brains, and your brain is just a pig brain!”
“…”
Liu Wenyan cursed for a while, but still didn’t feel relieved. 50,000 merit points, were you crazy, who told you to pay them off?
