Chapter 167: Words as Weapons | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]
Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 20, 2025
The arena was silent.
The students looked expectant, as if waiting for the lottery to be drawn.
Would they give it?
Even if they didn’t give a Mountain Sea realm one, a Soaring realm one would do.
Zhou Mingren scanned the students, and after a moment, he slowly said, “Tomorrow, I will publicly write the ‘War God Art,’ and students are welcome to observe…”
Wu Yuehua said blandly, “Writing will-based texts in the Mountain Sea realm, probably only the first ten or twenty people will gain something. However, it’s a good thing that Chief Zhou is willing to impart knowledge for free. By the way, when will the other compensations be paid?”
Even will-based texts written in the Mountain Sea realm have their limits.
After dozens of people have seen it, it’s basically useless.
Of course, if he were to write a Mountain Sea realm cultivation method, instead of a Thousand Jun or Ten Thousand Stone realm one, others wouldn’t even be able to see it.
Zhou Mingren looked at Wu Yuehua.
Publicly imparting knowledge once was the solution he had come up with. Even if the students were dissatisfied, they would have the opportunity to observe once, which could somewhat appease the people.
If no one objected at this moment, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
“Wu Yuehua, can’t anything be discussed privately? Do you have to make the entire academy a mess?”
Zhou Mingren transmitted his voice, somewhat angrily, “Damaging the dignity of the Mountain Sea realm in front of the students is not good for me, nor for you!”
“When the Secret Realm opens, I can give you five spots!”
Zhou Mingren quickly transmitted his voice. He wanted to solve the problem, but Wu Yuehua was causing trouble. If things continued like this, things would only get more and more troublesome!
Wu Yuehua looked at him coldly and transmitted her voice, “When you wanted to dig up Zhang Ruoling’s grave, why didn’t you think you were losing dignity?”
“…”
Zhou Mingren suddenly looked at her, his expression changing.
He glanced at the old woman, then at Sun Gelao and the others, and finally at the Mind Cultivation Pavilion area.
Did Wan Tiansheng tell her?
He had mentioned this to Wan Tiansheng, and it was not surprising that Wan Tiansheng guessed it was Zhang Ruoling, because Zhang Ruoling’s divine script was the most suitable for Zheng Yuming.
Zhou Mingren’s expression changed.
What exactly does Wan Tiansheng want to do!
Didn’t he say he wouldn’t interfere?
Damn it!
No wonder Wu Yuehua had to oppose him today, it turned out to be because of this matter.
Around them, the students were originally somewhat excited after Zhou Mingren said he would give a public lecture, but after hearing Wu Yuehua’s reminder that only ten or twenty people would gain something, they suddenly became apprehensive.
Too few!
Ten or twenty people, there were so many people here, how would they compete for benefits?
Su Yu had been silent when he was speaking, but at this time he suddenly said, “Chief Zhou, if you go to the lecture area to teach once every day, it will be almost a year!”
“…”
Zhou Mingren glanced at him and didn’t reply.
A year?
Once a day?
Do you really think writing will-based texts is so simple?
Besides, did he have nothing else to do, spending all day writing will-based texts?
Ignoring Su Yu, Zhou Mingren thought for a moment, and suddenly saw someone, his eyes lit up slightly, and he suddenly looked at that person!
Over there, Liu Hong was originally just watching the show.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and Zhou Mingren’s voice came to his ears: “Liu Hong, you have a lot of interaction with the students, you come up with a way to resolve the current crisis!”
Liu Hong cursed inwardly!
Damn it, you want me to go up?
I was just watching a show! My mistake!
If I had known, I wouldn’t have come to see this show, a miscalculation!
“If you solve this trouble, when the Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm opens, you can enter!”
Zhou Mingren spoke again.
They had decided to let Liu Hong enter before, but Liu Hong himself didn’t know, and now it could be used as a reward for him to solve this trouble.
The Mountain Sea realm elders have too little time to interact with the students.
For a time, Zhou Mingren also forgot how to communicate and resolve the issue.
“Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm…”
Liu Hong’s heart stirred!
This was a good place, this secret realm was usually not opened at all.
If he could really solve this trouble, it would be equivalent to saving the Single Divine Script lineage, and he would have a great increase in status in the Single Divine Script lineage.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong hurriedly transmitted his voice, “Dean, I’ll try, but it will be difficult to complete without some cost.”
“It doesn’t matter, you can spend some resources!”
“Understood!”
…
The students were still waiting for the results.
And at this moment, someone suddenly coughed lightly and walked out with a smile.
Su Yu frowned slightly when he saw the person coming.
That bastard Liu Hong!
What is this guy doing here?
“Students!”
Liu Hong walked out and shouted, sighing, “It is really unexpected that this matter has become like this! Continuing like this is not good for the students, the elders, or the entire academy!”
“8000+ books of will-based texts… To be honest, everyone should understand that not everyone can get them.”
Liu Hong said sincerely, “Everyone should have been mentally prepared for this before the challenge. We did have some loopholes in the formulation of the rules. Of course, defeating Su Yu to obtain a book of will-based texts is not a formal regulation…”
Su Yu interrupted, “Teacher Liu means to renege on the debt?”
Liu Hong smiled, “Not to that extent! It’s just that if we continue like this, everyone will not gain anything! How about this, I have a suggestion, see if everyone can accept it?”
Liu Hong said loudly, “Next, the Single Divine Script Department, 4 elders, 40 Lingyun, 60 Soaring, and more than 100 researchers, will publicly write a will-based text in the lecture area every three days, and also answer questions for everyone, not just limited to will-based texts!”
“Continuing for a year! More than 100 researchers will bring countless gains to everyone, which cannot be compared to a single book of will-based texts.”
“Usually, it is difficult for everyone to get such an opportunity.”
“In the lecture area, everyone can use the number of times you won today as a ticket. If you win once, you can participate once, if you win three times, you can participate three times!”
“Before, everyone spent 1 merit point to win once, so now, using this 1 merit point to listen to a researcher’s lecture, I don’t think anyone will feel it’s not worth it, right?”
Liu Hong said softly, “This is also the best solution. Otherwise, if you really insist on the will-writing, we can also give it…”
As soon as these words came out, many people in the single Divine Text lineage changed color.
Liu Hong smiled faintly, “Giving it is possible, but we didn’t say when we would give it. Dean Zhou also needs time to write. Under normal circumstances, even if he writes one book every three days… then everyone line up! Maybe you can get it in a few decades!”
Liu Hong said loudly, “It’s not that we are untrustworthy. We won’t go back on our word! The single Divine Text lineage will never do such a thing. Everyone can choose freely, whether to go to the preaching area to attend classes or wait for the will-writing! Dean Zhou will write it, as long as everyone can wait!”
The students looked at each other.
Don’t say, it’s not bad to go to a free lecture!
Wait… wait for what!
If Zhou Mingren writes one book a year, they won’t be able to wait even until they die.
Didn’t say when to give it to you, anyway, we won’t go back on our word.
What can you say?
It was originally obtained by taking a shortcut. For ordinary students, they have already made a profit, so what other opinions do they have.
Feels acceptable too!
In the crowd, someone felt Liu Hong’s gaze and quickly shouted, “I have no opinion, teacher. Then I want to watch the class of a Mountain and Sea Realm teacher. What if there are too many people?”
Liu Hong smiled and said loudly, “Everyone considers the pros and cons themselves! There are fewer students going to the Soaring and Cloud Piercing Realms, and they are closer to your realm. Some things are more intuitive when explained. If you can’t understand the preaching of the Mountain and Sea Realm elders, then it’s a waste of this opportunity!”
Liu Hong smiled and said, “It’s up to you to choose. If you have to choose the lectures of the Mountain and Sea Realm, then you will gain less, and don’t blame me for not reminding you!”
In a few words, this guy turned the matter of will-writing into the matter of who to listen to the lecture.
One year, a researcher from the single Divine Text lineage only needs to go once, which is not too serious.
As for the materials for writing will-writing… what materials are needed, just write it directly. We don’t plan to keep it for a long time. The ones for everyone need to be kept for a long time, and the ones for class are of course the ones that can be written casually.
On the stage, Su Yu’s eyes flickered.
Liu Hong!
This bastard!
The elders really don’t understand the students. Their thinking is rigid, and they always feel that this matter is difficult to handle. What they are thinking about is always the word “rules.”
But for Liu Hong, rules… have too many loopholes.
The students may not necessarily want will-writing, as long as they can get a bargain, do they care so much about the others?
They are not people of the multi-Divine Text lineage. They dared to stage this scene only because they held the idea that the law does not punish the masses.
Su Yu took a deep breath and quickly said, “Actually, this method is not bad. I said before that everyone can participate and get a chance to attend a free class!”
“However, I think we should give everyone a little hope for writing will-writing, for example, each time it is written with essence blood and high-level beast skin, and rewarded to the students who perform best and make the most progress on that day!”
Su Yu smiled and said, “In this way, someone can really get will-writing, and it’s not a complete loss! The students who get will-writing will be grateful for today’s kindness in the future when they achieve results…”
Liu Hong glanced at him. This kid doesn’t forget to dig a hole for them to bleed at this time.
More than a hundred copies!
If it is really written with essence blood, the cost price is no less than 10,000 merit points!
This does not include the willpower consumed by the researchers and the labor cost of the time spent in class.
Su Yu looked at Liu Hong and smiled, “Teacher Liu said that if someone chooses to have will-writing, then give it to them. That’s good. I think there must be someone who needs it. If there are fewer people, the elders will have time to write it, it won’t be delayed, it’s very good!”
Su Yu also said extremely sincerely, “I advise everyone, unless you have a Mountain and Sea Realm in your family, or you are sure to get will-writing, otherwise, you should choose to attend classes! If you really feel unwilling, you can sell this opportunity to those students who are likely to get will-writing!”
Liu Hong said faintly, “Su Yu, are you instigating students to trade on the black market? Buying and selling will-writing is illegal in the academy!”
Su Yu smiled and said, “Teacher Liu misunderstood! I just said something wrong. “War God Art” is a publicly available cultivation method in the academy, and everyone can learn it, so there is no such thing as black market trading. Everyone can borrow a copy of will-writing from some wealthy students to take a look. If it is lost, then use this opportunity to repay it. It’s borrowing, everyone must not buy or sell it!”
“…”
The students’ eyes were strange.
If they still don’t understand this, they are really stupid.
Borrow my ass!
It’s just nominally borrowing. Who knows if they borrow it or not? They turn around and say it’s lost, and then use this opportunity to compensate the other party, and the transaction is complete.
As for how much it can be sold for and whether it can be compared with attending a class, anyway, they won’t lose money no matter how they calculate it.
If the price is low, they will just go to class.
As for themselves, some people know in their hearts that they will definitely not get it!
The two of them argued with each other, drilling through the loopholes in the rules.

One said, there is no time limit.
One said, there is no transaction, just borrow it and lose the will-writing.
Anyway, Su Yu just wants the single Divine Text lineage to bleed!
Bleed a lot!
Even if this matter can be resolved, they have to bleed.
Who is afraid of being disgusting!
At this moment, the elders have become supporting roles. They don’t say anything and let the two of them talk. If they personally come down now, it will be really embarrassing.
“Su Yu, what you said is not feasible. At that time, it was said that whoever defeats you will get will-writing. Transferring… mortgaging, these are not allowed! In the academy, it is not allowed to trade cultivation methods. Mortgaging and transferring are also not allowed. If you really want to mortgage and transfer, then you can, but you have to pay a transfer fee!”Liu Hong said calmly, “Paying the academy, for example, for the Battle God Art, each inheritance requires you to first be qualified, and then you need 100 merit points before you are allowed to transfer the inheritance. As a student, don’t you even understand this?”
Below, Xia Huyou’s head ached when he heard this!
Did this mean his business was going to be cut off?
If students transferred or mortgaged to him, he would have to pay 100 merit points to the academy?
In that case, what was the point of doing business? The cost was too high!
Su Yu smiled and said, “I know, but there is this requirement for inheriting the ‘Battle God Art’ because the ‘Battle God Art’ is a Xuan-level and Di-level cultivation technique. You are talking about the Di-level version. I didn’t say it had to be the ‘Battle God Art’. The ‘Thousand Jun Art’ is also fine. It’s a publicly available cultivation technique in the human realm and can be inherited for free! You didn’t specify which cultivation technique at the time, so everyone can just ask for the ‘Thousand Jun Art’ willpower text!”
Su Yu said indifferently, “As long as the Elders are willing to write the ‘Thousand Jun Art’, or even the ‘Opening Yuan Art’, that’s fine. It doesn’t matter!”
“…”
Su Yu added, “It must be written by a Mountain Sea Realm expert, and a peak Mountain Sea Realm expert! You said that before, you can’t go back on your word, right?”
“…”
Liu Hong looked at him, smiled, and cursed inwardly!
This little brat is quite something!
He has a thorough understanding of the academy’s rules!
At this moment, both of them kept citing the rules.
It gave many people the feeling… damn it, did the academy’s rules feel like they were made for these two?
They can do whatever they want?
…
In the Mind Cultivation Pavilion.
Wan Tiansheng looked up at the sky, did the academy’s rules have so many loopholes to exploit?
Were they so lax?
It felt like these two bastards could do whatever they wanted, and everything was in their favor!
Rubbing his forehead, he was considering whether to overhaul the academy’s rules and regulations.
…
In the arena area.
Liu Hong didn’t argue with Su Yu and transmitted his voice to Zhou Mingren, “Dean, this guy is very difficult to deal with. He’s clearly letting some students transfer their opportunities to the children of those large families, and then letting those large families come to us for trouble…”
“Most students will choose to attend the lectures, but some probably won’t.”
Zhou Mingren had also calmed down at this moment and suddenly said, “Students who are willing to attend the lectures can leave! Researchers will share some of their unique insights during the lectures, which are often more valuable than a few merit points! If you are willing to wait, you can also wait for me to write the willpower text…”
He looked at the students. Many of them hesitated, but when they met his gaze, they became a little scared.
Soon, some students left without saying much.
Originally, there were thousands of people, but suddenly more than a thousand left. Seeing others leave, some who had originally wanted to stay considered it and hurriedly left as well.
It was enough to take advantage!
They should know when to quit!
If they kept causing trouble, they would lose everything and be remembered by the strong, which would be troublesome.
There was strength in numbers, but with fewer people, there was no strength.
Anyway, they had already profited today!
Su Yu was amazing!
At this moment, many people also sighed, this guy had tricked the Single Divine Script faction. All the researchers would have to give a free lecture, even if it was just once, some people might not be willing to.
Su Yu was not surprised at all that a large number of people had left.
He didn’t think it was inappropriate either.
It was a good thing to know when to quit. Those who stayed either had connections or were thinking of finding a chance to sell this opportunity. Those without connections or strength, why would they stay?
Being able to get a free lecture and observe the willpower text was already a good deal.
However, those who left were not important.
A large group of people with backers were what Zhou Mingren needed to worry about. He didn’t know how much he would have to pay to appease these people.
After dispersing a large number of students, several Elders of the Single Divine Script faction breathed a sigh of relief.
That was good!
They had a headache dealing with the dense crowd of thousands of students earlier. It was a good thing that more than half of them had left.
Liu Hong was still somewhat useful!
And Liu Hong, seeing this, smiled again and said, “Other students, it seems you are prepared to get the willpower text! Students, think carefully, no trading allowed! Lending the ‘Thousand Jun Art’ or ‘Opening Yuan Art’ is fine, but once a transaction occurs, the academy’s backend has a monitoring system! If you are caught, all your efforts will be in vain. Not only will you gain nothing, but you may also be punished. Don’t blame me for not reminding you beforehand!”
As soon as these words came out, some students hesitated and quickly left.
That made sense!
The academy had a monitoring system, and it would be easy to get caught if they traded merit points. They would really gain nothing then.
Fewer and fewer people!
Su Yu didn’t care. If Liu Hong was eloquent, let him continue. He could try to make everyone not want the willpower text.

At this moment, Liu Hong also had a headache.
There were still five or six hundred people who hadn’t left!
They were either students of the Mountain Sea Realm or the Soaring Cloud Realm, or people from systems like the Demon Suppression Army and the Dragon Martial Guard, or descendants of important figures and large families.
These were the really difficult ones!
One lecture… wouldn’t be enough to satisfy them.
What they wanted was the willpower text of a peak Mountain Sea Realm expert, worth thousands of merit points, or even thousands. You were dreaming if you thought one lecture would fool them!
Su Yu smiled.
This was the key!
Even if they didn’t have to pay out thousands of copies, how would they solve the problem of these hundreds of people?
If they didn’t give it to them?
Then they could wait to become enemies with the entire Xia Family of Xia Prefecture. Saying they were enemies was an exaggeration, but at least these families wouldn’t have a good impression of Zhou Mingren.
They would inevitably curse him a few times in their hearts!
Maybe they would stab him in the back at a crucial moment someday.
Su Yu was too lazy to care about what they were thinking and suddenly said loudly, “Let me ask, does the reward of a willpower text for defeating me still count? If it counts, then we’ll continue in the future. If it doesn’t, then forget it. It’s normal to go back on your word after doing something like that, and it’s normal to change your mind!”
“…”
Did it count?
Nonsense!
Of course not!
But at this moment, Su Yu was clearly trying to slap them in the face, wanting the Single Divine Script faction to rescind this order themselves. A task that made things difficult for Su Yu was passed down, but Su Yu was fine, while they almost fell into a trap.
Liu Hong smiled and said, “Before, it was to encourage everyone to improve, and also to encourage you, Su Yu, to improve. You guys just had to mess around, which goes against our original intention. Let’s just drop this matter!”
“Are you the one who decides?”
Su Yu looked down at him and said strangely, “Are you the Single Divine Script lineage leader? The dean? The prefect? Teacher Liu, it’s not that I look down on you, but as an assistant teacher, are you qualified to speak on behalf of the Single Divine Script faction? You can casually rescind even the prefect’s orders? Are you the acting prefect? The acting dean? Or are you going to take over the lineage leader’s position because something happened to Grand Secretary Zheng?”
Su Yu said in shock, “Lineage Leader Liu, congratulations!”
“…”
Liu Hong almost wanted to kill him!
Lineage leader, my ass!
Who the hell wants to be the lineage leader?
And Su Yu, with a thought, smiled again and said, “Lineage Leader Liu, your promotion wouldn’t be because of the last incident, right? Could it be that losing 40,000 merit points is considered a contribution?”
As soon as he said this, Zhou Mingren and the others frowned. What did he mean?
If Su Yu had said this before, they would have treated it as nonsense. Su Yu wouldn’t have had the qualifications to speak in front of them.
But now…
Now, anyone who underestimates this kid is an idiot.
40,000 merit points…
What did that mean?
They hadn’t lost any 40,000 merit points. The only major expenditure recently was 100,000 merit points to buy some things.
Those things… came from Su Yu’s side.
The expressions on their faces became somewhat strange, and they glanced at Liu Hong.
Before this, they had never suspected Liu Hong, but now, what was Su Yu implying?
Liu Hong cursed inwardly, 40,000, my ass!
This guy Su Yu was going all in!
Since he had offended them all this time, he didn’t care if his previous actions were known. It was all the same. There was no need to hide anything now. After today, it would be strange if Zhou Mingren and the others could continue to coexist peacefully with Su Yu!
“Su Yu, don’t talk nonsense…”
Su Yu smiled and said, “What nonsense am I talking about? I didn’t say anything! I won’t do anything that doesn’t follow the rules! Seriously, I was able to reach the ninth level of Thousand Jun so quickly, and I really have to thank you for your help! Thank you!”
Su Yu jumped off the stage and said with a smile, “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first! I’ve been doing research lately, so I don’t have time for sparring or anything! Oh, by the way, please help me spread the word that our Wen Tan Research Center has completely deduced the ‘Soul Devouring Art’ cultivation technique, which can mutate Yuan Qi and corrode and burn willpower. It will be auctioned off soon, with a one-time buyout!”
“This is a physical cultivation technique for warriors, not a willpower martial skill or a talent skill. Everyone, remember this! This will be of great use to warriors on the battlefield of the heavens to deal with enemy civilization masters!”
“We welcome people from the Great Xia Prefecture, and even other major prefectures, to participate!”
“We hope that this cultivation technique can be passed down and can greatly enhance the strength of the entire human race!”
“Next, I hope that our Multi-Divine Script faction, the Wen Tan Research Center, can become the center of the human realm, the focus of attention. Some people, think carefully. If you cause trouble for us at this time, be careful of being chopped to death by warriors all over the world!”
Su Yu laughed loudly and said, “As for the willpower inscriptions, go ask for them yourselves. I won’t get involved! The deduction of the ‘Soul Devouring Art’ still requires me to participate in the later stages of the experiment. Oh, by the way, thank you for your 40,000 merit points. Although we only received half, it’s enough. The deduction of the ‘Soul Devouring Art’ is inseparable from the sponsorship of this fund. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to succeed!”
Su Yu, dressed in white, left gracefully!
Chen Yong silently followed, as if he had become Su Yu’s student, protecting him from behind.
The whole place was silent!
The next moment, Zheng Yunhui suddenly shouted, “The ‘Soul Devouring Art’ can mutate Yuan Qi?”
“Yes!”
Su Yu replied without turning his head.
“How many acupoints need to be opened?”
“36 acupoints, not too many, with nearly half of them overlapping.”
“So, you need to open about 18?”
“Almost!”
Zheng Yunhui’s expression changed. Without saying a word, he ran away!
Go home!
Go find Grandpa!
Mutated Yuan Qi Art!

Can mutate Yuan Qi, targeting willpower, damn, what a great Yuan Qi Art!
Less than 20 extra acupoints need to be opened. Although it’s quite difficult, for geniuses, this is a huge opportunity to increase their strength, allowing them to have more ways to deal with civilization masters!
In the crowd, some people left silently.
Some went to notify their parents, and some went to notify the forces behind them.
For the warrior path, this is indeed a huge opportunity.
Zhou Mingren and the others also had flickering eyes. They could see Su Yu’s intention. Announcing it now, rather than earlier, was obviously to focus the Multi-Divine Script faction under the public’s eye!
Were they worried about being retaliated against?
Zhou Mingren and the others didn’t say anything.
Retaliation… that would be discussed later.
The emergence of the “Soul Devouring Art” was destined to make the Wen Tan Research Center the focus of attention. The key was, how would the spread of this cultivation technique benefit or harm them?
Also, how to deal with the remaining group of people?
Just as Zhou Mingren was about to take advantage of this opportunity to leave, a little girl in the crowd said timidly, “Prefect Zhou, I only want three volumes of willpower inscriptions. I only won three times. Su Yu asked me to win 10 times, but I didn’t agree…”
The little girl looked scared. Seeing Zhou Mingren looking at her, she was almost crying. She said timidly, “I won these myself. My dad won’t give me merit points, but my dad still wants me to become stronger… I only have 3 merit points left, and I’ve spent them all… Grandpa Zhou, are you going to welsh on your debt?”
Zhou Mingren looked at her, feeling slightly familiar.
An assistant quickly transmitted a message to him, “Director Ji’s daughter from the Child Enrichment Department, Ji Xiaomeng, the youngest one!”
Zhou Mingren remembered!
That old geezer had a daughter late in life, his only daughter. When she turned ten, he invited strong individuals from all directions to celebrate her birthday!
He liked her far more than his sons!
So it was this girl!
Zhou Mingren’s head throbbed with pain. What a bastard, Su Yu… a bastard!
