“Drink!”

A soft shout accompanied by the sound of a blade rang out in the training room.

Ever since he demolished the wardrobe last time, Su Yu didn’t dare practice the more powerful Thunder Yuan Blade at home this time. He was worried about demolishing the house and splitting the floor, and that the old man downstairs would beat him with his fist as big as a casserole.

The standard-issue military knife was extremely fast, breaking through the air with a whistling sound.

Su Yu panted slightly, sheathed the knife, and frowned.

Difficult!

Profound-rank martial arts were still a bit too early and too difficult for him.

Even the first strike—Thunder Strike—normally required the coordination of nine orifices, a unified strike returning to the source.

“I’ve learned the stance, but the key is Yuan Qi!”

Su Yu concluded that he had learned the stance of Thunder Strike, which wasn’t difficult in itself.

The key was the coordination of the orifices, the burst of Yuan Qi, the concentration of force, attaching the Yuan Qi to the blade, a thunderous strike to kill the enemy!

After all, he had only opened eight orifices, and could only use the Yuan Qi within his body, not the Yuan Qi from the outside world.

“I still can’t quickly unify the Yuan Qi and inject it all into the blade.”

Su Yu frowned. It had been three days.

He had been practicing this strike for three days, not too long, but even after reading《Thunder Yuan Blade》several times every day, he still couldn’t grasp the method of unifying Yuan Qi.

This meant he hadn’t even entered the door!

Entering the door meant at least being able to inject Yuan Qi into the blade.

The rest was about proficiency and speed, completing the Yuan Qi injection instantly.

After three days, he hadn’t even completed the entry, let alone how to accelerate and how to instantly complete the Yuan Qi injection.

“Does it have to be at the ninth level of Kaiyuan?”

Su Yu sighed. He wanted to cultivate to the ninth level of Kaiyuan first, but the key was that he had also used essence blood to cultivate once in these three days, and found that the effect was not as good as before, and the opening speed of the last orifice was very slow.

At this rate, it would probably take at least a month.

Last time, it took 20 days to reach the eighth level of Kaiyuan, and one month for the ninth level of Kaiyuan would be considered good.

Moreover, it would require a lot of essence blood. Su Yu only had two drops of Ironwing Bird essence blood left, and he had to save one drop in case of emergencies.

“With eight orifices linked, how can I control the Yuan Qi to enter where I want to inject it?”

Yuan Qi was a bit disobedient, and you couldn’t just move it wherever you wanted.

Su Yu stopped practicing the blade technique, sat down on the side, drank a glass of water, and began to think.

“The Ironwing Bird clan skill unlocked by the illustrated manual, the tearing strike, is to gather Yuan Qi on the palm, making the palm extremely sharp, tearing apart all the enemy’s defenses.”

“However, that was the manual operating it for me, not me controlling it myself.”

“Now, to inject Yuan Qi into the blade, the principle is the same. The manual uses the power of essence blood, not external Yuan Qi, which is consistent with the principle of my own stored Yuan Qi…”

Su Yu felt a little heartache. He roughly knew how to quickly get started with the Thunder Yuan Blade.

Continue to use essence blood to activate the tearing skill, observe how Yuan Qi gathers and how it operates.

He knew his own body best. No matter how clearly Liu Wenyan’s Willpower Rune displayed it, it was not as intuitive as trying it himself once.

“It’s going to cost money again!”

30,000 for a drop of blood, just to try it once, is it worth it to observe it once?

For many people, it would definitely be worth it.

For Su Yu, he didn’t mind spending money, he wasn’t stingy, but he was really short on cash right now.

“Forget it, use one drop! If I can ambush a Ten Thousand Stone expert by then and earn merit points, I can earn it back. I can also take the opportunity to master the Thunder Yuan Blade, so overall it’s still a profit.”

Since he activated the martial skill in the academy last time, Su Yu hadn’t used it again.

Last time he was at the fourth level of Kaiyuan, now he was at the eighth level of Kaiyuan.

Su Yu no longer hesitated, and quickly took out a bottle from his pocket. He always carried the essence blood with him in case of accidents.

Once he made a decision, Su Yu no longer hesitated.

A drop of essence blood was quickly swallowed by him. This time, he did not activate the Na Yuan Technique, but activated the tearing skill.

This time, Su Yu’s purpose was much clearer than last time.

At this moment, the feeling was also much more intuitive.

A force appeared out of thin air in his body. This was the force converted from essence blood, similar to Yuan Qi, but closer to the essence of human power.

This force also revolved around the orifices, and quickly began to condense. Su Yu’s right hand soon swelled up.

Su Yu did not explode, but kept silently experiencing the feeling.

His arm was throbbing, but he could endure it.

He was experiencing the feeling of Yuan Qi returning to one, feeling the mystery of Yuan Qi operation.

One minute, two minutes…

Su Yu did not explode for a long time, and his right hand was significantly swollen at this moment.

His physical strength was not enough. This was the explosive force of the seventh level of Ten Thousand Stone. The power of the essence blood was strong, and there was a vague feeling that it would break his arm.

Su Yu kept observing, using himself as an experiment, using himself to study. This was what many civilization masters were doing.

If Liu Wenyan and Bai Feng saw this scene, saw Su Yu allowing his arm to swell to the extreme without changing his expression, they would probably scold him while praising him. Su Yu’s spirit of exploration already had the state of mind of a civilization master.

Exploration…

There were too many unknowns in the heavens and myriad worlds. Countless brilliant civilizations gathered. Although the human race was strong, it could not dominate the heavens. Only by exploring up and down, sparing no effort to explore and pursue, could the human race rise faster.

Countless civilization masters acted as pioneers, trying new cultivation methods, improving the cultivation methods of all races, swallowing different natural treasures, forcibly transforming their bodies, and catering to the different race’s cultivation techniques… Generation after generation of civilization masters, many died in the laboratory.

However, their achievements were extraordinary. The human race rose rapidly and became strong after the Anping Calendar, which was greatly related to the civilization masters.

Exploration Realm, the holy land of civilization masters.

Named Exploration, it explores an unknown.

Today’s Su Yu did not know the existence of this place, and he didn’t think much about it. He just wanted to understand how to get started with the Thunder Yuan Blade.
However, there was a warrior at the eighth level of Kaiyuan who was running martial skills with energy far beyond his capacity, just to observe the secrets of Yuan Qi’s operation. This was a thirst for knowledge, and of course, there was also the recklessness of the ignorant.

…

Five minutes later, the power subsided.

At this time, Su Yu’s right hand was unrecognizable, swollen like a pig’s trotter.

Su Yu gritted his teeth. The pain was undeniable, but it couldn’t conceal his joy. He felt like he had grasped something.

“I overlooked something.”

“Yuan Qi unification requires not only the cooperation of acupoints but also the cooperation of the physical body itself, including meridians, muscles, and so on.”

“I’ve always regarded acupoints as the foundation, but… that’s a mistake!”

“The foundation of acupoints is still to serve the strengthening of the physical body.”

“Acupoints are the engine, but not the only thing.”

At this moment, Su Yu had a profound understanding.

Acupoints are the things that absorb Yuan Qi, which is like the engine of a car, and Yuan Qi is the fuel. But the body itself is the car, the wheels, and the steering wheel.

He only knew how to burn fuel but didn’t know how to control the direction. This had nothing to do with acupoints; it was mainly due to the lack of coordination of the physical body.

“It’s that I didn’t do a good job as the driver. In fact, all the hardware is there. The reason I can’t gather Yuan Qi and inject it into the blade is that I, the driver, don’t know how to drive…”

Su Yu understood, feeling a refreshing sense of relief that made him forget the pain in his right hand.

The teachers had actually said these things before.

But without experiencing it firsthand, talking on paper is just empty talk.

If you want to know how many hours it takes to fill a swimming pool by draining and refilling it, you need to try it yourself. Even if you calculate it a hundred times, it won’t be as memorable as trying it once yourself.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have a swimming pool at home and aren’t afraid of getting beaten up, then you can try it yourself.

These random thoughts flashed through his mind. Su Yu couldn’t wait to try the Thunder Yuan Blade again, but at this moment, he felt the pain coming from his arm.

“Not today, I’ll try again tomorrow. Anyway, I’ve already grasped the entry method, and the next step is just practice.”

Su Yu was delighted, not only because he had mastered the method but also because he had discovered another function of the diagram.

From a purely functional perspective, the diagram can only absorb Yuan Qi and unleash martial skills.

But he developed another function of unleashing martial skills: the secrets of Yuan Qi’s operation.

It even includes the secrets of some acupoints that the Iron Wing Bird clan might use when unleashing their skills.

“This is an Iron Wing Bird, and the difference between its body and a human’s is too great, so it’s not very obvious. What about demon cultivation methods?”

“Then wouldn’t I be able to… see more things?”

…

Su Yu went home to read books, waiting for the next day’s practice.

At this moment, it was June 8th.

There were 17 days left until the Higher Academy Entrance Examination.

At the same time.

Great Xia Civilization Academy.

In a huge hall.

Wan Tiansheng convened a meeting of the academy’s senior management. At this moment, Wan Tiansheng slowly said, “Academy Head Xia is in seclusion, and Marquis Xiahou is temporarily acting as the academy head! You should all know what happened at the ceremony this morning… I suggest that Marquis Xiahou withdraw troops. The Dragon Martial Guards will immediately withdraw from the Heavens Battlefield back to the Great Xia Prefecture.”

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly man on one side stood up and angrily scolded, “Wan Tiansheng, you and Marquis Xiahou are colluding, working together! The Great Xia Prefecture has been fighting in the heavens for many years, and there has never been a case of withdrawing troops before a battle!”

“You are traitors to the human race, traitors to the Great Xia Prefecture, and should be executed according to the law!”

Wan Tiansheng was not angry and calmly said, “If we follow your old saying, then the Great Zhou Prefecture and the Great Ming Prefecture are all traitors! Forgetting war is dangerous, but being belligerent leads to destruction!”

“How can you lump them together!”

The old man scolded angrily, “Belligerent? If the human race doesn’t fight, the human realm will be the next Heavens Battlefield! If the Great Xia Prefecture doesn’t fight, if the Great Zhou Prefecture doesn’t fight, if all prefectures cease fighting, how will the human realm survive?”

“Wan Tiansheng, you are a sinner!”

Wan Tiansheng swept his gaze below, and many people showed expressions of anger. He had suggested withdrawing troops at the ceremony, allowing the Tianyi God Clan to buy their lives with resources, which had already made many people dissatisfied with him.

Wan Tiansheng sighed inwardly but was used to it.

Being belligerent leads to destruction!

Many people say this, but how many truly understand it?

Is the Great Xia Prefecture strong?

Very strong!

But the Great Xia Prefecture has been fighting year after year, with expenses exceeding income. Each battle yields very little, and it is impossible to sustain the war with war.

The Great Xia Prefecture has to support the Dragon Martial Guards, the Demon Suppression Army, the Great Xia Prefecture Army, and countless pensions… Throughout the Great Xia Prefecture, everyone takes pride in dying in battle!

But dying in battle… they are losing their lives, and the Great Xia Prefecture is losing money.

Too much!

In recent years, nearly a million people have died in battle. This is just the Great Xia Prefecture, and Xia Longwu is a person who cherishes his soldiers. The pensions for those who die in battle are extremely heavy, not to mention hundreds of thousands of Anping coins per person, but also various other benefits.

As a result, the people of the Great Xia Prefecture are fearless and unafraid of death.

Many elderly people even fight fiercely on the battlefield to secure a future for their descendants, not fearing death at all.

But do these people understand that the Great Xia Prefecture is already using the foundation left by the Great Xia King?

Xia Longwu has been in office for so many years and has exhausted the previous family fortune!

Many thoughts flashed through Wan Tiansheng’s mind, and he quickly regained his composure. “Sinner? You have no right to convict me, Wan Tiansheng! Besides… I’m just suggesting, this is Marquis Xiahou’s order.”

“Marquis Xiahou…”

The old man’s face changed, and then he cursed, “He’s just a pig! Besides making money, what else can he do?”

“Cough cough!”

Wan Tiansheng interrupted, “Elder Yun, don’t beat around the bush…”

“I’m not beating around the bush, I’m scolding him directly!”

The old man said angrily, “Even if he’s in front of me, I’ll point at his nose and scold him!”

“Xia Clan Merchant is monopolizing the cultivation resources of the entire Great Xia Prefecture, isn’t that enough money? Does he, Xia Pighead, want to continue making money, even on the Heavens Battlefield? He should be killed and sacrificed to the heavens!”

The originally serious meeting suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Below, a young person spoke up, “Dean, will Lord Xiahou, in charge of Great Xia Prefecture, cut our salaries and bonuses?”

“Dean, can you suggest to Lord Xiahou that the goods sold by Xia’s Trading Company not be so expensive? They’re much cheaper in Great Ming Prefecture.”

“Dean, how long will Lord Xiahou be acting as the Prefect? Years ago, when the Prefect went to the Battlefield of the Heavens, Lord Xiahou was also acting, and as a result… even using the toilet at the Academy cost money. That was too much!”

“…”

Everyone’s attention had shifted to Lord Xiahou.

Wan Tiansheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good thing. Lord Xiahou… was, of course, meant to take the blame.

Of course, Lord Xiahou wasn’t as bad as these people made him out to be.

Great Xia Prefecture was running at a deficit. Xia Longwu didn’t care, only focusing on cultivation and warfare. If it weren’t for Lord Xiahou making money, the treasury would have been empty five years ago.

In Wan Tiansheng’s opinion, Lord Xiahou was more suitable to be the Prefect than Xia Longwu.

The fact that Great Xia Prefecture could stand tall was all thanks to Lord Xiahou. Of course, outsiders couldn’t understand this.

They only knew that Lord Xiahou was a scandalous character.

If his father wasn’t the Great Xia King, he would have been beaten to death in an alley long ago.

Ignoring these people, Wan Tiansheng made a few perfunctory remarks and quickly said, “Since Lord Xiahou is temporarily acting as the Prefect, then everyone will have a hard time this year. Lord Xiahou and I talked about it, and the treasury is empty, so we need to cut spending!”

“Therefore, this year’s new student intake will be reduced by five hundred.”

“In addition, some internal organizations within the academy… will be divested.”

“And the key point, those over 50 years old who haven’t manifested their will, and are no longer teaching at the academy, will no longer receive academy stipends from now on.”

The last sentence instantly ignited the entire meeting!

“Impossible!”

“How can this be!”

“Dean, you are betraying the entire academy!” An old man roared, “In the Great Xia Civilization Academy, there are as many as 20,000 students over the age of 50 who haven’t manifested their will, and only about 500 of them are teaching. If the stipends of the remaining 20,000 are canceled, how will they live?”

A cold glint appeared in Wan Tiansheng’s eyes. Bloated!

In the past 50 years, the strength of the Great Xia Civilization Academy has greatly improved, and experts abound.

But it must be said that internal problems have also begun to appear, and there are many problems.

A group of old students who haven’t manifested their will are about to drag the academy down.

He knew that this plan would be opposed. Tens of thousands of people, with each person receiving more than 100,000 stipends a year, the stipends alone cost billions!

Of course, these old students are closely related to the academy.

Some of their descendants are in the academy, and some have classmates and teachers in the academy. Once the stipends are canceled, it will inevitably trigger a major earthquake.

But cutting spending is a must.

He couldn’t tolerate it any longer. When Xia Longwu was around, his plan was delayed because Xia Longwu felt that these people had also contributed a lot to Great Xia Prefecture, and he couldn’t let people lose heart.

But if they don’t lose heart… something will happen sooner or later.

If a Great Xia Civilization Academy is like this, then the expenses of the entire Great Xia Prefecture are astronomical!

No matter how good Lord Xiahou is at making money, he can’t fill the deficit.

The pain must be experienced, even if they don’t understand today, in the future… hopefully, they will understand.

They are all stakeholders. Wan Tiansheng was not swayed by their words. Although his voice was calm, it overpowered everyone, and he said lightly, “This is the decree of Great Xia Prefecture. If you are dissatisfied, go and reason with Lord Xiahou!”

“In addition, research funding will be reduced by 30%! Some useless research can be abandoned directly. The review board must take responsibility and not allow every research project to be launched. It costs a lot of money, but there are no results!”

“What kind of research is this fire-pig clan… How many years have you been researching? There are millions, if not tens of millions, of cannon fodder races on the Battlefield of the Heavens. What else is there to research?”

Wan Tiansheng scolded, “Nonsense! With this energy, can’t you research something else?”

“Also, if you’re doing research, then focus on the research! Don’t think about those messy things!”

After saying that, Wan Tiansheng didn’t wait for everyone to refute, and dropped another bombshell, “I’ve considered it and discussed it with Lord Xiahou. The Ten Thousand Races Training Academy… will be reopened!”

As soon as this was said, it completely overshadowed all the news.

At this moment, even several powerful figures who had been silent spoke up. One of them said coldly, “The Ten Thousand Races Training Academy? Dean, this plan was rejected many years ago! Back then, the Prefect personally went to the Battlefield of the Heavens and destroyed several races. Now you want to restart it? Do you really think the Prefect won’t come out of seclusion?”

Wan Tiansheng said calmly, “Everyone, if we don’t accept the ten thousand races, won’t the Ten Thousand Races Religion have spies in the academy?”

“That’s different!”

Someone shouted coldly, “The Ten Thousand Races Religion is the Ten Thousand Races Religion, after all, it’s not the ten thousand races themselves! What’s the point of accepting the ten thousand races?”

“To collect money.”

Wan Tiansheng said bluntly, “Instead of letting them send spies from the Ten Thousand Races Religion, it’s better to directly accept them. First, they are under our noses, and someone is watching them.”

“Second, we can charge high tuition fees.”

“Third, not only money, but also a lot of resources, including some top-secret cultivation methods. If they want to enter the Great Xia Civilization Academy, they have to pay a heavy price.”

“In this way, their support for the Ten Thousand Races Religion will be reduced, resources will be reduced, and these resources will fall into our hands.”

“Fourth, show our sincerity. As long as they are not staunch enemies, we can form alliances!”

“Our human race is one of the top ten powerful races in the heavens and ten thousand races. Not everyone can take a bite of us. Cooperation may be more beneficial than hostility!”

Wan Tiansheng said, and then said, “It’s not just us, the God Race and the Demon Race actually have such measures. They are also buying off those small races. They even open up some unimportant secret realms and holy lands to small races to cultivate them, strengthen them, and let them become the vanguard in the war with the human race!”

“In the armies of the gods and demons, there are even strong men from small races. Every battle, the human race that dies is definitely the human race, while the gods and demons races that die may be people from small races. Their own strength has not been damaged at all.”
“Since the myriad races can plant spies within the human race and cultivate the Myriad Race Cult, we actually have opportunities too, such as these myriad race students who enroll. Bribe, brainwash, coerce… there’s always a way to win them over!”

“Years later, these people might become the vanguard of our human race’s counterattack!”

Wan Tiansheng said in a deep voice, “I admit, there are drawbacks, and quite a few. But, everyone, please consider whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, or the advantages outweigh the disadvantages! As long as we supervise properly, it’s actually better than before, at least we don’t have to worry that the person next to you is a member of the Myriad Race Cult anymore!”

“With the arrival of the myriad races themselves, the Myriad Race Cult will be greatly reduced, and we won’t have the previous situation where we spent a lot of resources, only to cultivate strong people for the Myriad Race Cult!”

“…”

Wan Tiansheng has been in charge of the academy for so many years, and he has many supporters. Everyone discussed it one after another.

In the corner, Bai Feng yawned, feeling somewhat bored.

This matter had nothing to do with him, and it wasn’t his place to express an opinion. A small assistant researcher like him couldn’t get a word in.

Just as he was bored, Liu Hong next to him said with a smile, “Bai Feng, the number of students this year has been reduced. Won’t your prospective student be eliminated? Also, it seems like your senior brother is also in the line for subsidy cuts…”

Bai Feng looked at him like he was an idiot, “My senior brother has materialized, didn’t you know? Sorry, he’s not in the subsidy cut list.”

“Materialized?”

Liu Hong really didn’t know. This wasn’t a big deal in the eyes of the Civilization Academy. Materialization was only the first level of soaring into the air.

Liu Hong didn’t continue talking about this, and smiled, “Research funding is being cut. The academy seems to be reforming, and the考核 (kaohe – assessment, evaluation) for people like us will probably be stricter…”

“Just say what you want to say directly. I’m too lazy to guess, it’s too tiring.”

Liu Hong took a deep breath, “Hong Lao’s research institute is open to me. I’ll inject funds, and we can study together. I can even provide some resources that you don’t have and share the results! Bai Feng, if you and I keep fighting, the end result will only be mutual destruction!”

Liu Hong said seriously, “Hong Lao’s research institute hasn’t reported any results for many years. If someone pushes for it, it will be shut down!”

“Get lost!”

Bai Feng cursed impolitely, then thought for a moment and said, “Actually, it’s not impossible…”

Liu Hong was overjoyed!

“First, send me a few corpses of Mountain Sea realm gods and demons, and we can talk in detail.”

Bai Feng said seriously, “Really, since you want to join, you have to bleed a little. After all, we’ve been researching for so many years and we’re almost getting results.”

“I…”

Liu Hong cursed inwardly, “Do you think I’m stupid?”

Bai Feng sneered, “Aren’t you?”

Bai Feng ignored him and glanced at Wan Tiansheng above, thinking to himself that the academy was probably in some turmoil recently. He wondered if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

“The academy master is in seclusion, and Lord Xiahou is temporarily acting as the academy master… it feels like this is a sign of great change.”

“I hope there won’t be any trouble?”

Bai Feng sighed in his heart, hoping things would go smoothly, and also about that kid Su Yu… he wondered how his cultivation was going lately.
