After more than ten minutes.

Liu Wenyan returned.

Su Yu stole a few glances and didn’t notice anything amiss.

Liu Wenyan said calmly, “Bai Feng went back and immediately secluded himself. I couldn’t reach him. You should have told me this sooner. Next time, say everything you need to say. Don’t be so hesitant. It’s not how a cultivator should act!”

Liu Wenyan scolded him, somewhat dissatisfied, “You need to know that whether you’re a Civilization Master or a Warrior… and Warriors are what physical cultivation path practitioners call themselves. Strong people all have common traits. Decisiveness and firmness are essential. You’ve been holding onto this small matter for a month. Don’t you think you’re being too indecisive?”

Liu Wenyan slammed the table, nearly breaking it!

The more he spoke, the more he felt he was right!

“Are you telling me that next time on the Battlefield of the Heavens, if you encounter the advance of the Demon armies, you’re going to hesitate for a month before saying something?”

“Are you planning to collect corpses for the Human race soldiers?”

“Even if your commanding officer doesn’t give you a chance, you need to create your own opportunities to speak!”

Liu Wenyan wore an expression of disappointment, as if he were scolding a useless piece of iron, “I thought you were steady, but it turns out you’re not steady, you’re indecisive! I’m very disappointed!”

“…”

Su Yu wanted to say something, but then felt that might be even more indecisive, so he quickly said, “Teacher, I was wrong. I won’t do that again!”

“Good!”

Liu Wenyan finally smiled, secretly taking a breath. He’d finally regained his teacher’s dignity.

“Release your divine script so I can take a look.”

As soon as he said that, the “Blood” character in Su Yu’s mind erupted.

The illusion reappeared!

This time, it wasn’t the Ironwing Bird, but hundreds of demon race soldiers charging, creating a deafening roar.

Liu Wenyan looked intently, slightly furrowing his brows.

These demon races were very realistic, but they also had some flaws.

“Did you create this based on the demon race corpses you saw at the Xia Clan Merchant Guild?”

“Yes.”

“It’s quite realistic, but after all, you only saw corpses, so they lack vitality. Some Thousand Jun who haven’t been on the battlefield might fall for it, but those who have been on the battlefield will quickly realize.”

Liu Wenyan commented a few times, then said, “It’s not bad, at least the average Thousand Jun realm cultivator might be fooled, but of course, only for a moment.”

Nodding, Liu Wenyan’s eyes lit up slightly, and the previous illusion instantly disappeared.

As for Su Yu, his face was slightly pale, but he wasn’t greatly affected.

“Not bad, your willpower isn’t too strong, but it’s resilient, like it’s been tempered…”

Having said that, Liu Wenyan looked at Su Yu, slightly puzzled, “Logically speaking, you haven’t been on the battlefield, haven’t experienced any major changes, your willpower shouldn’t be this resilient. I destroyed your illusion, you should have suffered some backlash.”

Even if Su Yu’s willpower was weak, the backlash wouldn’t be serious, but it shouldn’t just be a pale face. This was a sign of overexertion, not backlash.

Su Yu immediately said, “I often watch the Prefect chop off people’s heads. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.”

“…”

Liu Wenyan couldn’t help but want to complain. You often watch Xia Longwu chop off people’s heads… Don’t tell me you record it and watch the replays every day?

How perverted are you!

This kid… could he have a tendency to be a pervert?

Giving him a suspicious look, Liu Wenyan didn’t say anything and continued, “Didn’t you say you wanted to absorb blood? Absorb some for me to see.”

“No blood…”

“No need for blood, consciously command the divine script to absorb my blood!”

Su Yu tried, but shook his head. The “Blood” little brother didn’t seem interested.

Liu Wenyan considered it for a moment, then suddenly cut his finger, and a drop of blood flowed out.

“Continue!”

“Teacher… this…”

“Hurry up, what are you hesitating for!”

Su Yu didn’t dare delay and commanded the “Blood” character to absorb blood again.

This time, the “Blood” little brother reacted. The divine script in his mind vibrated, and the next moment, a suction force erupted, and the drop of blood on Liu Wenyan’s finger was struggling to escape his control.

Liu Wenyan’s eyes flickered slightly, “That’s enough!”

He didn’t let the blood escape and nodded, “Not bad, this is the Path of Offense! The previous one was the Path of Illusion!”

“Your divine script… is a bit interesting. Although it’s weak, it has many functions.”

“Normally, a divine script might have several functions, but usually one is the main one, and the others are secondary. Does yours… have any other functions?”

Liu Wenyan looked at Su Yu, “When you’re fighting, once your divine script is strong enough, as long as the opponent is injured and has wounds, if your divine script erupts, the opponent might bleed continuously, lose too much blood, and die. That’s why I say this is the Path of Offense.”

Su Yu nodded, then shook his head, “For now, it seems like it can only create illusions and absorb blood. I haven’t discovered anything else.”

“So, it has two functions…”

“That’s not right!”

As he said that, Liu Wenyan hesitated for a moment, then a drop of essence blood appeared in his hand, “This is the essence blood of a Thousand Jun Fire Hog. Try absorbing it…”

He shook his head, “No, wait for me. I’ll go get some ordinary demon beast blood. Wait for me to come back and try absorbing it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Soon, Liu Wenyan returned with a bottle, “This is ordinary blood from a Savage Ox. Try absorbing it.”

Su Yu once again commanded the “Blood” little brother to get to work. The blood in the bottle trembled slightly, and then, a strand of blood disappeared into thin air.

Su Yu sensed it. The color of the “Blood” little brother in his mind suddenly changed, becoming deeper than before.

“Absorb more!”

Su Yu didn’t delay and continued to absorb.

The blood in the bottle gradually disappeared and evaporated. Soon, the small bottle of blood was gone.

The “Blood” character’s color became even more vibrant red.

“What do you feel?”

“The divine script seems to have become a little stronger, but I don’t feel anything else.”

“Stronger?”

Liu Wenyan fell into deep thought, then quickly said, “So, this divine script can strengthen itself with blood. That’s a good thing. Divine scripts can usually only be strengthened by willpower. Some special divine scripts can be strengthened in other ways.”
“Your divine script is just a preliminary sketch. Being able to strengthen yourself with blood is a special type of divine script.”

“Very good!”

“Having this characteristic in the first divine script is a great help to its growth.”

Liu Wenyan nodded repeatedly. Su Yu’s willpower is still weak, so it’s difficult to strengthen his divine script right now. The fact that his divine script can absorb blood to strengthen itself is very good.

“Teacher, do you think I can condense essence blood?”

Su Yu hurriedly asked, “I heard that some people’s divine scripts can condense essence blood.”

“Yours can’t.”

Liu Wenyan shook his head, “Your divine script is too weak, and it strengthens itself by absorbing blood. So the power of the blood is consumed, not gathered together.”

“Of course…”

Liu Wenyan smiled, “It’s not necessarily impossible. The divine script is weak now, but if it becomes stronger, and doesn’t need to devour the power of weak blood, it might be possible to extract essence blood from it.”

“You can’t try it now, and there’s no need to try. Wait until you reach the manifestation stage, or the later stage of nurturing nature. Even if you can extract it now, at your absorption speed, it might take ten days or half a month to condense a drop of essence blood. It’s not worth it.”

Hearing this, Su Yu was disappointed. It seemed his dream of getting rich was shattered, and his dream of going bankrupt was about to come true.

This guy really only sucks blood and doesn’t make money!

“Illusion, blood-sucking, strengthening, three characteristics!”

Liu Wenyan nodded again, “Not bad.”

As for extracting essence blood, it’s not visible now, and it’s not a major function, so Liu Wenyan doesn’t care much.

Hearing this, Su Yu was happy and said, “Teacher, three characteristics, does that mean my divine script is strong?”

He heard Liu Wenyan say that many divine scripts only have one characteristic.

“Strong?”

Liu Wenyan smiled faintly, “The number of characteristics doesn’t really mean anything. For a simple example, I have a divine script that specializes in breaking the enemy’s will sea, and it only has this one characteristic! Which do you think is better, this divine script or yours?”

“…”

Su Yu was embarrassed. That’s true, breaking the will sea is too strong a characteristic.

“So don’t look at the quantity, look at the effect, see if it’s strong or not.”

“Take the fourth generation leader of the Civilization Academy, who left a ‘Yuan’ character that can only absorb Yuan Qi and form a Yuan Qi Treasure Realm. Then I ask you, is this function strong or weak?”

Liu Wenyan smiled, “It’s actually very weak. When fighting, do you rely on this divine script to absorb Yuan Qi and recover faster than others to be more powerful? But for the entire human race, the value of this divine script exceeds that of a Mountain Sea Realm expert!”

“No matter how strong your Mountain Sea Realm is, it’s only one person who’s strong. But the Yuan Qi Treasure Realm can benefit countless students of the Civilization Academy, so do you think this divine script is strong or not?”

Su Yu understood and nodded slightly, saying, “I understand what you mean, teacher. Strength doesn’t lie in the number of characteristics, but in the way and place it’s used. The ‘Yuan’ character divine script is insignificant in battle, but it’s a treasure when used for assistance!”

“Good!”

Liu Wenyan smiled, “So don’t worry too much about the number of characteristics. It’s good to have many characteristics in the early stage, but in the later stage, people generally pursue specialization. One divine script specialized in one characteristic makes it easier to nurture it to the extreme.”

Saying that, he threw the previous Fire Pig essence blood to Su Yu again, “Try absorbing the essence blood again. You can’t use the essence blood of the Thousand Jun Realm at the Opening Origin Realm, but the divine script doesn’t care about that. I’m just worried you can’t handle it.”

Su Yu was polite and continued to control the “Blood” little brother to absorb it.

This time, it was very difficult and very slow!

Su Yu really felt his willpower being consumed. The “Blood” little brother was also trembling, like a person drinking water with a tube of dozens of meters long, extremely difficult.

The “Blood” little brother, who was excitedly bouncing when he saw the essence blood before, was now withered.

When it actually tried to absorb it, it couldn’t!

After spending a lot of effort, Su Yu felt his head was about to explode. The Fire Pig essence blood in front of him only trembled slightly, with no major changes.

Liu Wenyan saw some differences and smiled, “It absorbed about one percent of the essence. It seems the power of blood-sucking is still very small.”

Su Yu felt that the “Blood” little brother was wrapped in blood in his mind, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. You’re not absorbing anymore?

After absorbing a little essence blood, this guy pretended to be dead, as if he was extremely tired.

I thought you were so powerful, but you’re so weak!

One drop of Thousand Jun essence blood, absorbed one percent, what were you bouncing around for before!

“Teacher, can blood-sucking strengthen the divine script?”

“It should be possible, depending on the characteristics of your divine script!”

Liu Wenyan nodded, then warned, “Don’t suck randomly. It’s not good for the divine script to be too strong! If your strength is insufficient and your willpower is not strong, let’s just say, once the divine script is truly strong to a certain point, and your willpower can’t suppress it, it will backfire on you!”

“Backlash is a light thing. I’m afraid… it will directly suck up your willpower!”

Liu Wenyan said solemnly, “Among those people back then, a few died like this! Those idiots, blindly strengthening their divine scripts, including a few like you whose divine scripts could be strengthened by external means. They spent a huge price to strengthen their divine scripts, but as a result, the divine scripts became stronger and required a lot of willpower to nurture…”

“Now it’s good. Their willpower wasn’t strong enough, so their willpower was sucked dry all at once. The will sea collapsed, and the person was directly finished!”

Liu Wenyan said seriously, “So, when you feel you can’t bear it, and your will is under pressure, immediately give up strengthening the divine script! Divine script and willpower are complementary. It doesn’t matter if willpower is stronger than the divine script, but if the divine script is stronger than willpower, then you have an eighty or ninety percent chance of dying. If you don’t die, you’ll be crippled!”

Su Yu nodded solemnly.

Before, he thought about it for a while, and wondered if he could directly suck up a Soaring Cloud after his divine script became strong…

But after Liu Wenyan said it, he immediately knew the danger.
The first time he outlined the “blood” divine script, he fought with the divine script quite a bit.

Divine scripts are powerful, but they can also backfire.

“These things are common sense, and the Civilization Academy will teach you, but you’re a bit special, outlining the divine script in advance. In Nanyuan, only I know a bit about these things. If you don’t understand anything, be sure to ask me, and never experiment blindly.”

Liu Wenyan’s tone was extremely serious, “Never try things randomly! Also, since you’ve outlined the first divine script, you might outline a second one. That’s all fine, but it must be within your ability to bear!”

“When you feel you can’t bear it, even if the divine script is floating right in front of you, don’t outline it, lest greed costs you your life!”

“Divine scripts aren’t necessarily better in larger numbers. It’s better to have fewer, more refined ones. You can’t even handle cultivating one with all your focus, let alone many.”

Su Yu nodded again. This was his teacher’s experience, and he, a novice, had to take it to heart.

Liu Wenyan continued to speak, telling Su Yu everything he knew.

He hadn’t taught these things in many years, but the experience was still there.

In the end, Liu Wenyan said with some regret, “After all, I just materialized and have stayed in Nanyuan for too long. I’m actually a bit behind the times. The times are changing, and the path of cultivation is also changing. You can only learn some things at the Civilization Academy.”

“For the next month, don’t try to outline any more divine scripts. Focus on the one you have, and strengthen your willpower. Willpower is the foundation!”

“Teacher, I understand.”

“And…”

Liu Wenyan hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and said, “Your willpower talent is actually average, but you outline divine scripts very quickly. I don’t know if that’s a good thing, but it’s also an extraordinary talent.”

“With your talent, if it’s exposed, you should be able to find a good teacher to cultivate you at the Civilization Academy.”

“Bai Feng previously said he wanted to take you as a student. Before, I thought it was your luck, but now… actually, I’m in a dilemma.”

Su Yu looked puzzled, and Liu Wenyan smiled wryly, “I was just thinking about whether to tell Bai Feng’s teacher about your situation. If I tell him, he might take you in.”

“But… it might not be better than Bai Feng.”

Liu Wenyan sighed, “He has many students and is very powerful himself, so he might not spend much time at the academy, and he might not have much energy to teach you.”

“He’s a Mountain Sea Realm Civilization Master. He’ll go to the Heavens Battlefield, the Sea Realm, and many other places… so he’ll only have limited time to teach you throughout the year.”

“Although Bai Feng is only in the Soaring Realm, he spends more time at the academy at this stage and can give you more help in the early stages. As for the later stages… actually, when you reach the Soaring Realm, his teacher will also guide you because you’ll be considered his grand-disciple. Geniuses are valued everywhere.”

He was very angry before, but after thinking carefully, he had to consider some things for Su Yu.

Bai Feng was weaker than his teacher, but Bai Feng had no students and spent more time at the academy, which could give Su Yu more help.

When Su Yu became stronger, as Bai Feng’s student, he could naturally follow Bai Feng’s teacher.

Liu Wenyan considered it again and slowly said, “Actually… there’s another way! You can apprentice to Bai Feng’s teacher and have his teacher order Bai Feng to guide you as a senior brother… of course, the premise is that Bai Feng is willing and won’t beat you to death.”

Su Yu coughed and said with a wry smile, “Teacher, I think I’ll be beaten to death. Teacher Bai Feng is preparing to take me as a student, and I suddenly become his junior brother and have him guide me. Isn’t that… a bit too much?”

Liu Wenyan said indifferently, “That’s your own business. Of course, the choice is yours! Actually, Bai Feng is also fine, but this guy… it’s hard to say. He’s about to break through to the seventh level of the Soaring Realm, and he’s even preparing to break through to the Lingyun Realm soon. You need to think carefully. He might not have much time either.”

Su Yu nodded. That was true.

“The matter of apprenticeship isn’t urgent. The researchers at the Civilization Academy aren’t just the two of them.” Liu Wenyan pondered for a while and then said, “Don’t tell anyone about outlining the divine script. Consider it your trump card.”

“Even during the assessment, don’t show it off, or say that you succeeded in outlining it, but only with one or two strokes, and you’ve completed the foundation. That’s also fine.”

“The Civilization Academy, the War Academy… neither academy is necessarily peaceful.”

Liu Wenyan sighed, “Su Yu, remember, people’s hearts are unpredictable! Most of the human race is fighting against the myriad races, but that doesn’t mean everyone is. If that were the case, the Myriad Races Sect wouldn’t exist!”

“The Myriad Races Sect has many factions, and some people are deeply hidden. It’s more cost-effective to kill weak geniuses. Appropriately exposing your talent is necessary! Otherwise, you won’t be valued and cultivated.”

“But keeping something hidden is also necessary!”

Liu Wenyan said seriously, “Keeping something hidden can save your life! You can show yourself off, proving to everyone that you’re worth cultivating, but you must keep some trump cards up your sleeve, to strike back at a critical moment!”

“Teacher, I understand!”

Su Yu nodded quickly. He understood this.

“It’s good that you understand.”

Liu Wenyan was gratified and smiled, “Then go back and cultivate. Also… since you’ve mastered the divine script, then for the next month… come with me to the Qifeng Hall.”

“Qifeng Hall?”

“That’s right. Although the Myriad Races Sect’s last action was defeated by us, and everyone who came died, some guys causing trouble outside the city escaped, and they haven’t all been captured yet.”

“Their hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. We can’t let them live!”

Liu Wenyan looked at him and slowly said, “Act with the Qifeng Hall to capture them, kill them! I want you… to see blood! It was good that you killed one at the academy last time, but that’s not enough. I want you to not be nervous about seeing blood before entering the Civilization Academy.”
“Civilized masters also kill people, kill many people. The civilized masters who don’t kill people are the most bottom-tier, the most ordinary, the most useless kind. I don’t want you to become that kind of person, but instead, to embark on the road of the strong, as a future powerhouse!”

“Except for concealing the fact that you can outline divine runes in a day, everything else can be revealed. Show off your skills in the assessment, dominate the competition, attract the attention of the academy, and receive the corresponding treatment. This is what you should do because you don’t have parents in the Mountain Sea realm to rely on!”

“Suppress those city geniuses, move forward all the way, and rise to prominence!”

Liu Wenyan looked at Su Yu with a smile. “There’s not much your teacher can help you with, so… work hard! The harder you work now, the greater your future rewards will be!”

Su Yu trembled slightly. When his teacher said this, he felt like he was in for a rough time.

PS: Asking for recommendation votes, thank you everyone for your rewards. The list of rewarders will be compiled at the end of the month, and I will thank you all together. Thank you for your support!
