Chapter 39: Almost Can't Hold It Anymore! | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]

Liu Wenyan finished writing the remaining five slashes with a series of “swish, swish, swish” sounds, finally letting out a long breath.

Feeling the old Mansion Master’s gaze focused on him, Liu Wenyan remained calm and composed, as if talking to himself, he said, “Once you get the hang of writing these things, it becomes easier and easier.”

The old Mansion Master didn’t quite understand this. The world of Civilization Masters was beyond his comprehension.

Much of the knowledge he had gained was also told to him by Liu Wenyan.

Hearing these words, the old Mansion Master’s expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked at Liu Wenyan with intense eagerness.

Liu Wenyan turned his head to look, slightly taken aback.

Why so enthusiastic?

“You… can you still write?”

The old Mansion Master’s words made Liu Wenyan’s heart skip a beat!

“Old Liu!”

The old Mansion Master quickly leaned over, whispering, “Can you really still write? Is it that simple? A piece of Willpower Text from a Soaring Realm Civilization Master, sold to a wealthy merchant for their descendants, would fetch no less than 300 Merit Points!”

“If you write a hundred copies, your debt will be paid off. Once it’s paid off… you can return to the Civilization Academy, right?”

“Of course, there are costs involved… but the costs are only around 100 Merit Points. Writing about 150 copies should be enough to pay it all off!”

The old Mansion Master was excited!

Liu Wenyan was dumbfounded!

I… was just saying.

Did you take it seriously?

Forget about one copy, these four slashes nearly exhausted him. Besides… Willpower Texts aren’t that simple.

First of all, as a Civilization Master, he needed to have an extremely deep foundation in the “Thunder Origin Saber Technique” and master it thoroughly.

As a Civilization Master, he didn’t have much time to learn these things.

In addition, the consumption of willpower was too great, and this thing was also difficult to recover, much more difficult than vital energy.

300 Merit Points… writing one every few months was still manageable, but asking him to write one every day was impossible.

He could write three or four copies of something like the “Opening Yuan Formula” in a year, but he couldn’t handle writing three or four copies of the “Thunder Origin Saber Technique.” He wouldn’t have any time to cultivate or do anything else.

“Old Wang…”

Liu Wenyan cursed inwardly, but his face wore a mysterious smile as he whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense! The Civilization Master profession has rules, and many things cannot be spread! To prevent them from falling into the hands of the Ten Thousand Races Sect’s spies.”

“The Ten Thousand Races Sect isn’t without Xuan-rank martial techniques like the ‘Thunder Origin Saber Technique,’ but apart from their own Civilization Masters writing Willpower Texts for them, the Willpower Texts of Civilization Masters from various Mansions are strictly forbidden from being circulated!”

“Even if they are circulated, they won’t be the kind written on the spot, but rather the kind that has been stored for who knows how long, almost turned into ordinary objects. That kind of Willpower Text is actually useless and not worth much.”

Liu Wenyan smiled and whispered, “Don’t mention these things again, or you’ll get into trouble with the higher-ups if they find out.”

The old Mansion Master paused slightly, somewhat regretful, and said, “So that’s how it is. I also thought it wasn’t possible. If it were really that easy to earn Merit Points, Civilization Masters wouldn’t be lacking in Merit Points. Bai Feng wouldn’t have needed to kill a Soaring Realm Fourth Level in our place…”

He suddenly had this idea because Liu Wenyan said that writing became simple later on.

Now that he heard it, he felt like he understood that there were restrictions.

Liu Wenyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There were naturally restrictions, but normal transactions with wealthy people were fine, but… he couldn’t do it!

Forget about him, could you ask a Lingyun Realm, or even a Mountain and Sea Realm expert, to write a hundred copies for you in a year?

Those guys couldn’t do it either!

Even if they could, they wouldn’t do it. They needed to cultivate and do other things. If their willpower was excessively consumed, their divine inscriptions wouldn’t have the willpower to nurture them. Who would be responsible if something went wrong?

Liu Wenyan simply ignored the old Mansion Master and turned to look at Su Yu.

Su Yu was still struggling at the moment.

His attention was no longer on the saber technique, but on the divine inscription he had captured.

Liu Wenyan’s eyes held some anticipation, but also some headache.

“His willpower is too weak. Nurturing one divine inscription is already difficult. Now he has captured a second one… Alas, if this continues, his willpower growth rate will be slowed down a lot!”

Liu Wenyan was happy but also worried.

Having too many divine inscriptions wasn’t a good thing.

Of course, not having one was even worse.

But with so many, how would Su Yu nurture them?

His willpower was limited. If the divine inscriptions weren’t nurtured, they would dissipate.

But if they were nurtured, the consumption would be too great, and he wouldn’t be able to recover. Continuing like this would only drag him down.

“He is currently around 19% full, almost 20%. He is nurturing two divine inscriptions, and the ‘Blood’ divine inscription can absorb blood to nurture itself. In this way, he can still sustain nurturing two divine inscriptions.”

“He absolutely cannot nurture a third one. At least before the Nourishing Nature stage, he cannot go and outline more divine inscriptions.”

Liu Wenyan was somewhat troubled. Sometimes it was troublesome to encounter a genius.

Su Yu’s speed of capturing divine inscriptions was so fast that it was easy for him to become an example of a genius who overdid it and killed himself, or nurtured too many divine inscriptions and made no progress for decades, which would be considered a waste.

“Everyone else, go back first!”

Liu Wenyan said, then said seriously, “The Thunder Origin Saber Technique must not be spread! Xuan-rank martial techniques, even just ordinary rubbings, must not be spread! Such martial techniques, even in the Civilization Academy and the War Academy, require a hundred Merit Points to exchange for a copy!”

The old Mansion Master only cared about whether Willpower Texts were valuable and neglected that this was a Xuan-rank martial technique.

At this moment, the old Mansion Master also woke up.

Hearing this, he hurriedly said, “Yes, this must not be spread! Almost all the martial techniques of the War Academy are rubbings, and Willpower Texts are the exception. Spreading Xuan-rank martial techniques will cause big trouble if discovered!”

The absence of Willpower Text does not mean that cultivation is impossible.

It’s just that the speed will be much slower, relying entirely on oneself to comprehend. The function of the Willpower Text is equivalent to a top-level expert doing a full analysis for you, which will allow you to have deeper insights and cultivate faster.

The old Mansion Master now remembered this and looked at Liu Wenyan with some worry.
This old fellow was only talking about the matters concerning the Willpower Writings earlier, that he almost forgot, this rubbing is also very important.

This isn’t a martial art from the academy, it’s something Liu Wenyan brought with him.

Would it be a problem if he transmits it to others?

Liu Wenyan wasn’t as worried as him, seeing the trainees’ trepidation, he stopped being serious, and said with a smile: “You can cultivate it yourselves, this is what I’m passing on to you, but you cannot pass it on to outsiders, including family members.”

“The human race doesn’t encourage unearned gains, everything needs to be paid for with a corresponding price, unearned gains are parasitic! Consider this *Thunder Element Blade* as a graduation gift from me to you, even if you haven’t learned it today, that’s fine, you have a long time ahead of you.”

“Thank you, Instructor Liu!”

The trainees quickly thanked him, even though they didn’t see the Willpower Writings, some did see a little, but the gains weren’t significant, but they had all seen the rubbings.

“It’s alright, everyone go back and rest well, if you didn’t see anything, it’s fine, it’s the first time, next time with experience, you’ll have gains, the Civilization Academy doesn’t lack Civilization Masters who can transcribe Willpower Writings, as long as you’re willing to work hard!”

“Thank you, Teacher!”

Everyone thanked him again, with anticipation, and left one after another.

Many people glanced back at Su Yu, who was still trembling, curious about how many strikes Su Yu saw.

As for Su Yu learning more, they weren’t surprised, Liu Wenyan had been taking Su Yu around these days, clearly giving him special tutoring, envy and jealousy were useless.

Half an hour later.

Su Yu woke up.

At this moment, only he and Liu Wenyan were in the office.

Su Yu was slightly shocked and quickly said, “Teacher, I… I didn’t finish watching…”

He was a little annoyed, he was so busy fighting the small figure just now that he forgot to watch the subsequent sword techniques.

He wasn’t stupid, he naturally knew that transcribing Willpower Writings wasn’t a simple matter, this opportunity was wasted by him.

Liu Wenyan didn’t mind, and said with a faint smile, “How many strikes did you see?”

“The third strike… I didn’t have time to see the fourth strike.”

Su Yu looked annoyed and somewhat regretful.

“Phew!”

Liu Wenyan exhaled slightly, good, seeing three strikes was enough, if he really saw the subsequent ones, this guy would probably be confused, why are there no little figures in the later sword techniques!

“It doesn’t matter, even if you saw it now, you wouldn’t be able to learn it. Take this back with you, don’t reveal it to others, hide it carefully, you can look at it more when you have time, of course, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced later on, after all, I’m just a Soaring stage willpower, not a Mountain and Sea stage, unable to achieve long-term preservation.”

He preemptively laid an ambush, later on, the effect will definitely be very poor, that’s your responsibility, not mine.

As a teacher, I have tried my best to provide you with the best!

Liu Wenyan quickly changed the subject and said, “You outlined a divine rune again?”

“Yes, the ‘Thunder’ character.”

“How much did you outline?”

“It seems… it’s all of it, no, almost…”

Su Yu was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, “It seems like a stroke is broken.”

“Hmm?”

Liu Wenyan was a little surprised, on the one hand, he was surprised that he had completely outlined it again… again?

Okay, he gave up exploring why he used this word, and quickly said, “A stroke is broken?”

“Yes, when I was capturing it, it resisted very fiercely…”

“That’s because your willpower isn’t strong enough, you can’t forcibly capture it, outline it, at this time you should give up, or outline one stroke, you can’t forcibly capture it next time, do you understand?”

Liu Wenyan’s expression was serious, “Once or twice is your luck, if this happens again, you’ll easily be backlashed! Of course, this is also my responsibility, I didn’t expect you to outline a divine rune a second time, so I forgot to remind you.”

“Also, before nurturing your nature, you must not outline a third divine rune!”

“Yes!”

Su Yu responded immediately, and then continued, “Teacher, the ‘Thunder’ character is missing a stroke, I think it will take at least ten days to half a month to recover.”

“It’s normal, it’s not uncommon to spend half a year or a year to outline a complete divine rune.”

Liu Wenyan didn’t attack him this time, and said seriously, “You’re outlining divine runes too quickly, it’s actually not normal. I don’t know if it’s a bad thing, but… having too many divine runes isn’t necessarily a good thing, I told you last time, having too many divine runes may also be mixed and not refined.”

“Teacher, I understand.”

Su Yu nodded quickly, as for the characteristics of the “Thunder” divine rune, he couldn’t test it this time, because the divine rune wasn’t complete, he had to restore it to completeness before he could know.

Of course, Su Yu could judge one characteristic… electrocute you!

This thing had just electrocuted him many times, otherwise he wouldn’t have finally pulled off that guy’s “leg”, he was electrocuted quite painfully, he couldn’t control it.

Liu Wenyan was relieved to see that he had listened.

After thinking about it, he slowly said, “At this time, I’ve taught you almost everything I can teach you. As for some basics, someone will naturally teach you when you get to the Civilization Academy.”

“Including some profound cultivation methods, the application of divine runes, the outlining and nurturing of divine runes, and the learning of some ten thousand races languages… these things are all very common, you can go to the academy and spend a few years slowly learning them, this is also the accumulation of foundation.”

Liu Wenyan became serious again as he spoke, “In the early stages, don’t pay too much attention to anything, focus on laying the foundation! We Civilization Masters can endure loneliness, people from the Warfare Academy, after entering the academy for half a year or a year, they have hope of entering the Thousand Pound stage.”

“But most Civilization Masters step into the Soaring stage after many years…”

Su Yu nodded quickly, and after nodding, he said in a low voice, “Teacher, I think I can reach the Thousand Pound stage in a few months.”

“…”

Liu Wenyan was blocked!

Damn it, he forgot that this kid was at the eighth level of the Primordial Opening stage!

As a reserve for the Civilization Academy, five years in a secondary academy, learning multiple language courses, all from scratch, is five years a lot?

In addition to language classes, they also have many other courses.

Mathematics, Basic Weapon Construction, Geography, History…

The courses are relatively not few.
At this time, it would be considered diligent to go back and practice the “Kaiyuan Technique” once in the evening. How many people can cultivate to the fourth or fifth level of Kaiyuan?

Unlike Chen Hao and the others, they don’t need to learn too many languages of the myriad races, just three basic ones are enough.

Even so, these people are complaining incessantly, wishing they didn’t have to learn any.

Su Yu’s performance in divine script was so amazing that, in that instant, Liu Wenyuan completely forgot that this guy was already at the eighth level of Kaiyuan, and the reason he wrote the “Thunder Yuan Blade” for him was to improve his combat power.

As for capturing divine script, that was secondary!

Liu Wenyuan couldn’t bring himself to say the words stuck in his throat.

He originally wanted to say, “Don’t envy those guys in the War Academy. In a year, many of them will be in the Thousand Pound realm, but you have to endure loneliness. In a few years, you’ll be in the Soaring realm, and they’ll still be in the Thousand Pound realm…”

But at this point, he couldn’t say it!

This kid is at the eighth level of Kaiyuan!

Clearing his throat to cover up his awkwardness, Liu Wenyuan said calmly, “It’s good that you’re at the eighth level of Kaiyuan, but so what if you’re in the Thousand Pound realm? The Thousand Pound realm is the least valuable! When you get to the academy, some senior brothers and sisters might already be in the Soaring realm…”

Su Yu immediately said, “Teacher, I have a question.”

“Ask.”

“I looked at some literature earlier, and it never mentioned how many years the Civilization Academy lasts. It seems like all the information omits this point…”

Su Yu was curious. He was really wondering how many years one had to study at the Civilization Academy?

“How many years?”

Liu Wenyuan was slightly stunned, then chuckled after a while, “I forgot to mention it. The Civilization Academy doesn’t have fixed terms. Students with a saturation level below 20%, who can’t observe the Thousand Pound originals, are in the beginner class.”

“20% to 50%, those who can observe the Thousand Pound realm originals, are in the intermediate class.”

“Above 50%, which is the nurturing stage, are all in the advanced class.”

“Soaring… then you’re considered graduated. Of course, not everyone can graduate. Many people study for a few years without progress. They might leave the academy, go home, go to the battlefield, or do something else… At this point, the academy won’t care about you.”

“If you reach the Soaring realm, you can choose to stay at the school, like Bai Feng. He chose to stay and work as a research assistant. But… that’s the treatment for geniuses! If you reach the Soaring realm at fifty or sixty, the academy usually won’t keep you. You can find your own way, and you won’t do badly anyway.”

“Generally speaking, by the age of 30, if you still can’t reach the Soaring realm, many people will choose to leave.”

Liu Wenyuan sighed, “30 years old… At this point, it’s still possible to switch to being a warrior, but after 30, it’s really too late. The golden age of cultivation is over. Like you, if you enter the academy at 18 and stay for more than ten years, and you still can’t reach the Soaring realm, you’ll give up.”

How many people entered the school with extraordinary talent and great ambition!

As a result… after more than a decade of stagnation, they failed to materialize the Soaring realm and gave up on the manifestation path. This is too common in the Civilization Academy!

“There might be some old people in the academy who are fifty or sixty years old, but they’re not teachers. They’re considered your seniors. Some of your basic courses might be taught by them, earning some merit points to support themselves, so it’s not too difficult to make ends meet.”

“They’re not even research assistants. Of course, you don’t have to call them seniors, just call them instructors. Calling them seniors… that’s a slap in the face. Be careful, if you encounter a stingy one, they might make things difficult for you.”

Liu Wenyuan laughed as he spoke, but there was some bitterness in his laughter.

“Your teacher… If I had stayed at the Civilization Academy back then, I would be an instructor, a real instructor. You could call me senior, an old guy in his seventies, and considered to be in the same generation as you.”

The joys and sorrows in this, probably no one can understand except themselves.

Not many who get into the Civilization Academy are fools.

To waste decades in this place, one can imagine what these people are going through.

Su Yu was still young, he didn’t understand, but even just listening to Liu Wenyuan talk, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of trembling.

Wasting away until old age, accomplishing nothing, and being called senior by a group of teenagers…

“I won’t!”

Su Yu said silently in his heart, he wouldn’t, and he didn’t want to.

So, the Civilization Academy not only has geniuses, but also such a group of tragic figures. Sure enough, if some people are glorious, others must be dim.

“Go, go back and rest for a few days, think about the Thunder Yuan Blade, nurture your divine script, and wait for the assessment.”

“Teacher, what about killing a Thousand Pound mid-stage…”

“No need to do it, there’s not enough time.”

Su Yu thought for a while and still insisted, “Teacher, why don’t I try it? After a few days, when my Thunder Yuan Blade has improved, I’ll try it again. If it doesn’t work, I’ll give up.”

“As you wish.”

Liu Wenyuan didn’t dissuade him. Persistence is also a virtue, which is good.

Throwing the “Thunder Yuan Blade” animal skin book to Su Yu, Liu Wenyuan walked out of the office with his hands behind his back. Before he could leave, he heard Su Yu say, “Teacher, I’ll come to the academy tomorrow morning to learn from you, and go back in the afternoon to practice the blade technique…”

Liu Wenyuan almost stumbled and fell!

I told you to go home and rest for a few days, and think about the blade technique. Do you think I’m being lenient with you?

Stupid kid!

Your teacher is suffering from willpower depletion and needs to hide at home for the next few days to recover, so I don’t have to come to the academy with a pale face every day, looking like I’m indulging in excess. Don’t you understand the deeper meaning of what I’m saying?

Liu Wenyuan’s face was dark as he faced away from Su Yu, but his tone was calm, “No need to come. I have some things to do these days too. I’m seeing if my physical body can establish a foundation and enter the Soaring realm. I’m a bit busy recently.”

Su Yu suddenly realized and hurriedly said, “Okay, Teacher, then I won’t bother you.”

“Mm.”

Liu Wenyuan looked profound and left gracefully. If he stayed any longer, he wouldn’t be able to hold on.
