June 11th.

After a day of brewing, the news finally spread.

People from Great Xia Prefecture are coming to participate in the higher academy assessments in Nanyuan. Some people from Great Xia Prefecture have already arrived in Nanyuan and are waiting for the assessments.

Along with the news, there were also some criticisms.

“Great Xia Prefecture is going to steal Nanyuan students’ places in higher academies!”

“Marquis Xiahou only cares about money and doesn’t care about the lives of Nanyuan people. He even wants to sell Nanyuan City to Great Ming Prefecture.”

“Nanyuan has been abandoned by Great Xia Prefecture!”

“…”

Various voices were spreading. Some were from ordinary people, and some were from malicious individuals deliberately spreading misinformation.

The City Lord’s Mansion quickly responded, with the Wind Chasing Hall on standby 24/7. Nanyuan Academy also began to explain to all students.

The assessment slots for the people from Great Xia Prefecture are special slots and have nothing to do with Nanyuan.

These are additional slots and will not take away any slots from Nanyuan students.

The public opinion began to shift. Of course, not everyone believed it, but it was not as intense as before. Most people quickly believed it after hearing the explanation.

…

Wind Chasing Hall.

This was not the first time Su Yu had come here. He had come with Liu Wenyan several times before.

This time, he didn’t call Liu Wenyan, but came alone.

In the busy Wind Chasing Hall lobby, Su Yu didn’t cause any trouble. He squatted in a corner, chatting with an old Wind Chasing Officer who was smoking.

“Uncle Li, have you found any traces of the Myriad Races Cult?”

“We’re investigating.”

The middle-aged man was surnamed Li. He was an old-timer in the Wind Chasing Hall, with a strength of six levels of Thousand Jun, but he was only a low-level Wind Chasing Officer because he was too weak.

Despite his weakness, the man had been in the Wind Chasing Hall for many years and was well-informed.

While smoking, he said with a smile, “Little Su, among all the middle academy students in Nanyuan, you are the best!”

The man gave a thumbs up. “You are the first to participate in a manhunt before graduating!”

“But…” After praising him, the man whispered, “This time, your teacher isn’t here. It’s very dangerous for you to follow us on your own! To put it bluntly, without your teacher, we might not even have time to save you.”

Su Yu nodded obediently and said quickly, “Uncle Li, I won’t cause any trouble. I’ll just wait on the periphery. I’ll rely on you, Uncle Li, and the others. If you can let one or two seriously injured ones slip out so I can complete my teacher’s assessment, I’ll be grateful.”

The man said with a smile, “Don’t worry, we’ll let one or two seriously injured ones out if we have the chance. The Hall Master has to give Instructor Liu some face! Besides, we’ve all dealt with your father quite a bit in the past. Your father even helped out with the manhunt for the Myriad Races Cult sometimes. He can be considered an unofficial member of the Wind Chasing Hall.”

Su Yu smiled and thanked him repeatedly.

His father didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business, but when it came to killing members of the Myriad Races Cult, anyone in Nanyuan who could fight was willing to lend a hand.

Su Long, with his strength of nine levels of Thousand Jun, was considered a good fighter in Nanyuan.

As the two were chatting, a team leader-level Wind Chasing Officer shouted in the Wind Chasing Hall lobby, “North Team, assemble!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Li quickly dropped his cigarette and ran towards the lobby.

Su Yu also quickly followed, but he didn’t join the ranks. Instead, he stood behind the group without saying a word.

The team leader who had gathered the team glanced at him but didn’t say anything. He said in a deep voice, “Traces of the Myriad Races Cult have been found in the suburbs! This time, it’s not a large-scale gathering, but some people are out inciting the public. According to the information we have, we can only confirm that there are three people.”

“The specific strength is unknown, but the people needed for spreading information like this wouldn’t be too strong.”

“The mission is assigned to the North Team. You have three minutes to prepare everything and set off immediately!”

“Yes!”

The crowd responded one after another. A team in the Wind Chasing Hall had 30 people, which was not a small number.

The team leader was at the ninth level of Thousand Jun, and there were several others in the team with at least seven levels of Thousand Jun. The rest were at least four levels of Thousand Jun.

After the team members left to prepare, the team leader walked up to Su Yu and said sternly, “The Hall Master has other tasks and won’t be going. Your teacher isn’t here either, Su Yu. You’ve participated in manhunts before, so you know the danger!”

“I know your teacher is in the Soaring Realm, and I have a good relationship with your father, but… during the mission, no one will specifically take care of you! This is a mission, not a game!”

“Carelessness can lead to death. People in the Wind Chasing Hall sacrifice themselves every year. You can participate, but you can’t interfere with the Wind Chasing Hall’s actions. If you encounter danger, you can run or call for help, but we may not be able to rescue you!”

“Your life is a life, and so are the lives of others. We won’t jeopardize the entire operation plan for your sake!”

The team leader was extremely serious. “You can choose to leave now, otherwise… you will be responsible for all the consequences!”

Su Yu, in the Opening Origin Realm, was too weak.

Even though Su Yu had participated in previous operations, Liu Wenyan was there at that time, and even Hall Master Zeng Hua was accompanying them, so there was no danger at all.

Today was different. Only Su Yu had come alone.

“Team Leader Liu, don’t worry. My father is a soldier, and I am considered a reserve. I won’t cause any trouble for everyone!”

Su Yu quickly replied.

Team Leader Liu nodded slightly, his attitude softened a bit, and he instructed, “Then be careful yourself. I’ve heard people say that you are a Civilization Master and have special methods, but don’t be reckless!”

“Understood!”

Su Yu replied, smiling wryly in his heart. What Civilization Master? I’m nowhere near that level yet.

People in Nanyuan still have a limited understanding of Civilization Masters. There are no Civilization Masters below the Soaring Realm.

…

Three minutes later, the entire team gathered again, fully armed.

Outside the lobby, two trucks had already started.

The crowd got into the trucks one after another, and Su Yu followed.

On the truck, everyone was silent, packing their equipment, checking their supplies…

Su Yu also checked his equipment: a Yellow-tier middle-grade knife, 4 drops of Ironwing Bird essence blood, 3 of which he had exchanged at the academy that morning, costing him 3 merit points. Now he only had 10 merit points left.
Preparedness prevents misfortune, lest one drop not be enough when danger arises.

Moreover, the four drops of essence blood are not placed together to avoid losing them during battle. One drop is wrapped in a small capsule by Su Yu and held directly in his mouth, ready to be swallowed instantly at a crucial moment.

Su Yu has been practicing Thunder Element Saber for a few days and has barely grasped the basics. He can now unleash that strike, but the speed won’t be too fast.

Thunder Element Saber consumes a lot of vitality. Su Yu cannot channel external vitality, so this time he also brought a drop of vitality liquid.

He left a drop at home, so there’s no need to bring too much vitality liquid.

One drop is enough for him.

“Three drops of essence blood and one drop of vitality liquid are worth about 200,000.”

Su Yu sighed inwardly. Adding the saber, the pre-battle preparations cost several hundred thousand. If there’s no gain, it’ll be terrible.

Ideally, he wouldn’t have to use anything and just kill a Thousand Pound to earn some merit points.

If he has to use it, expending a drop of essence blood requires killing at least one Thousand Pound opponent.

This is his first time participating in such an operation alone. Su Yu is excited but also inevitably nervous.

If he fails this time, no one will be there to back him up.

Old Li is beside him, checking his equipment. Seeing Su Yu tense, he laughed and said, “Relax, don’t be nervous. When we get there, we’ll get out of the car and move quickly. You might not even be able to keep up.”

Su Yu nodded and said seriously, “I know, I’ll wait on the periphery.”

“Be very careful. If the opponent is unharmed, even if you see them, it’s best to pretend you didn’t see anything. Running away is fine, you can kill them eventually, but don’t stumble now!”

“Thank you, Uncle Li.”

Others on the car heard their conversation. A young team member, who looked only a few years older than Su Yu, smiled and said, “Five years ago, I was also nervous the first time I participated in a mission. You’ll get used to it, Su Yu. Just adjust yourself, don’t be afraid.”

“Thank you, Brother Chen.”

Brother Chen is not very old, less than 30 years old.

At least, in the Wind Chasing Hall, he’s considered a young team member. Since they’re chatting, he became interested and said, “Su Yu, your warrior talent is very strong. Have you considered taking the war academy exam?”

“My teacher is a Civilization Master…”

Su Yu grinned and said, “He wants me to go to the Civilization Academy, so I can only go there.”

“That’s true. I didn’t even know Instructor Liu was a Civilization Master until recently.”

Brother Chen said with emotion, “In Great Xia Prefecture, warriors are worthless, Civilization Masters are treasures. Five years ago, I graduated from the Wind Chasing Academy. It’s difficult for graduates from the Wind Chasing Academy to find a job in Great Xia Prefecture, unless they are top geniuses. Like us… we can only go back home and find a job in a small town.”

“But graduates from the Civilization Academy… are Civilization Masters, and any force will be eager to hire them.”

He was a bit emotional. Students from the Wind Chasing Academy can graduate when they reach the mid-stage of Thousand Pound Realm, while students from the Civilization Academy graduate when they reach the Soaring Realm.

This alone shows the difference between the two.

Of course, Brother Chen quickly smiled and said, “Su Yu, you’ll know how difficult it is to graduate when you get to the Civilization Academy. Less than 50 students graduate from the Civilization Academy each year. You know, they enroll nearly 2,000 students each year, a graduation rate of 2.5%. And there are many old students, few can graduate within ten years.”

“So few?”

Su Yu was surprised at first, then nodded slightly. That’s true, graduation requires reaching the Soaring Realm, and nearly 50 graduates per year means 50 more Soaring Realm experts each year, which is comparable to the city lord of Nanyuan City, not too few.

Fifty people a year is equivalent to cultivating more than 50 Soaring Realm experts each year, which is equivalent to the city lord of Nanyuan City, not too few.

Others didn’t know much about this situation. Someone checked their equipment and interjected, “Is graduation that difficult?”

Most of the older generation in the Wind Chasing Hall are veterans or those who have transferred from other jobs.

The Wind Chasing Academy hasn’t been established for long, and the graduates are all from the younger generation, so some of the older Wind Chasing Enforcers may not have been to Great Xia Prefecture.

Brother Chen nodded and said, “It’s really difficult! Of course, their graduation standards are different. Like Instructor Liu… cough cough, he’s considered a recent graduate at the Civilization Academy. It’s not uncommon for someone to graduate at 70.”

As soon as he said this, everyone’s expression turned strange.

Just graduated?

Well, they don’t understand the world of Great Xia Prefecture. In their eyes, Instructor Liu is on par with the city lord, but at the Great Xia Civilization Academy, he’s only just graduated.

While chatting, they arrived at their destination.

They didn’t go straight to the reported location. The car stopped about one kilometer away from the location.

They quickly got out of the car. The captain didn’t say anything, waved his hand, and the team split into two groups, advancing separately to encircle the area from the left and right.

…………

Su Yu didn’t follow any of the teams. He cautiously advanced about 300 meters behind the two teams.

He wasn’t planning to be a vanguard, but rather to see if he could pick up any leftovers from behind.

No one knows how many members the Myriad Races Sect really has. The report said three, but as experienced Wind Chasing Enforcers, everyone knows that the information may not be accurate.

Three people, that’s just what you see.

Maybe there are more hiding inside!

Every year, Wind Chasing Enforcers sacrifice their lives because of inaccurate information. This is unavoidable.

Even if there are only three people, if a Ten Thousand Stone or Soaring Realm expert suddenly appears, it would be a big trouble.

There’s still hope of dealing with a Ten Thousand Stone Realm, but there’s really no chance against a Soaring Realm. You can only admit bad luck.

…………

In the distance, an ordinary small courtyard appeared before everyone.

It’s no different from a normal house in the suburbs. There are also some vegetable fields near the courtyard, and you can still see some greenery.

The courtyard has a wide view. Members of the Myriad Races Sect like to operate in this kind of environment.

If a large number of people come, they can quickly discover it and escape quickly.

The Wind Chasing Hall has dealt with the other side more than once or twice and is very experienced. If Su Yu hadn’t been staring at them all the time, he probably wouldn’t have seen where they were.

All 30 people are crawling forward in disguise. Su Yu didn’t dare to stick his head out and waited in a small pit.
The captain, crawling forward, cautiously glanced back and was relieved to see that Su Yu wasn’t there.

He had been worried that Su Yu would carelessly expose himself, which would easily give away their position.

He had offered a few reminders earlier and was concerned that the other party wouldn’t listen. Now, it seemed Su Yu was being obedient enough. After all, he was Su Long’s son, and his father was a soldier. Su Yu didn’t have the arrogance that some of those from Great Xia Manor possessed.

…………

Gripping his blade tightly, Su Yu breathed lightly, adjusting his breathing, feeling a little excited.

Soon, he calmed down.

It wasn’t his first time. He had already killed several cultivators at the Ten Thousand Pound Realm.

At that moment, about 100 meters from the small courtyard, the people from the Wind Catching Hall could no longer conceal their movements. The captain raised his hand, and the others quickly stood up!

Without a word, the 30 people moved swiftly, charging towards the courtyard.

“Wind Catching Hall!”

A sharp shout rang out. Someone in the courtyard, a member of the Myriad Clan Sect, was on the lookout. Only now did they spot the approaching figures, immediately recognizing them as Wind Catching Hall members.

“Retreat!”

A shout echoed, and the next moment, five or six figures leaped out of the courtyard, not just three!

These people were also experienced, breaking out in all directions.

Whoever was unlucky would be caught by the Wind Catching Hall.

This was their way of survival. Being weaker than their opponents, they would flee quickly without hesitation, hoping that at least one could escape. Whoever was killed was simply unlucky.

The Wind Catching Hall generally didn’t dare to split their forces. Divided, their combat strength wasn’t strong, and they could easily be defeated by the Myriad Clan Sect.

Therefore, a team of 30 at most formed three encirclements.

That gave the others a chance to escape!

As expected, the captain of the Wind Catching Hall didn’t pursue everyone. Instead, he quickly formed smaller teams of 10, with two teams swiftly chasing after the fleeing figures, while the captain personally led a team to kick open the courtyard gate and charge inside.

Su Yu watched from behind, several hundred meters away. With his Eye Aperture activated, he could see clearly enough.

Observing the Wind Catching Hall’s actions, Su Yu gained some insights.

If it were him, he might have directly led the people to chase after those who were fleeing, probably not considering that there might be enemies lurking in the courtyard.

“Due to lack of experience…”

Su Yu wasn’t being self-deprecating. With more experience, he would quickly master this.

The two teams outside quickly caught up with the fleeing enemies and began to encircle and kill them.

The clashing of weapons echoed almost instantly.

Although these Wind Catching Enforcers weren’t too strong individually, their coordination was excellent. Su Yu judged that the one being surrounded was at least at the fifth or sixth level of the Ten Thousand Pound Realm, but almost the moment they engaged, the opponent was killed!

And within the 10-man teams, there didn’t seem to be anyone at the seventh level of the Ten Thousand Pound Realm.

Su Yu glanced at them and then looked away, quickly scanning the surroundings.

Five or six people had jumped out, and in the blink of an eye, two had been killed. The two teams continued their pursuit, but some had slipped through the net.

However, those guys were running fast. They were visible just a moment ago, but now they had vanished.

“The Myriad Clan Sect chose a bad location this time. The open view makes it easy to spot approaching enemies, but it’s also difficult to escape. They should have chosen terrain that made it easier to flee…”

Su Yu absorbed the lessons learned, which might come in handy in the future.

“My location isn’t good either, behind the Wind Catching Hall. The enemies might not dare to run this way, and even if they do, they might not be able to make it. Of course, I’m just here to pick up the scraps, safety first.”

Just as he was thinking this, a shout came from the courtyard!

The next moment, more figures jumped out.

Sure enough, there were still people inside!

This time, the two teams outside the courtyard had already gone far away, with no one to stop them. Su Yu saw a figure rapidly fleeing towards him.

Su Yu immediately focused all his attention!

Here it comes!

“This speed… it feels about the same as the guy who chased me last time, sixth level of the Ten Thousand Pound Realm?”

Behind him, the captain of the Wind Catching Hall broke away from the team and quickly gave chase, shouting, “The person in front, drop your weapon and surrender! The policies have changed. Myriad Clan Sect members who haven’t committed serious crimes can be sent to the Battlefield of the Heavens to participate in the war. They are no longer required to be killed!”

Su Yu was initially suspicious, then quickly understood that this was to undermine the opponent’s will to fight.

There was no such order!

The Great Xia Prefecture’s policy was still to kill without exception!

The Myriad Clan Sect members all knew that if they were caught by the Great Xia Prefecture, they would certainly die, so they usually fought to the bitter end. This increased the difficulty of the battle. He wondered if this guy would believe it.

Obviously, the other party didn’t believe it, or still held onto hope, continuing to flee.

200 meters, 100 meters…

The distance to Su Yu was getting closer and closer, but the direction was slightly off.

Su Yu crouched down, quietly moving towards that direction.

Soon, the person came, a few dozen meters away from Su Yu.

Su Yu stood up, raised his blade, and rapidly gathered Yuan Qi. The blade emitted a faint glow as he focused all his Yuan Qi and shouted, “Stop!”

An ambush was no longer possible.

He could only force a kill!

“Opening Yuan?”

The fleeing person wore a look of surprise!

Opening Yuan Realm!

Not wearing the Wind Catching Enforcer uniform, this was… someone passing by?

Opening Yuan Realm, daring to stop him?

Was he crazy?

“Don’t think about running!”

Su Yu shouted, “If I stop you, I can get merit points and extra credit for the exam!”

“Courting death!”

The person didn’t waste words, not wanting to waste time and be caught up with. He raised his blade and slashed at Su Yu.

The two quickly approached. At that moment, Su Yu’s eyes widened: “Hall Master!”

A cry of surprise rang out. The Myriad Clan Sect member was also stunned. Suddenly, there was another person in front of him, a middle-aged man next to the Opening Yuan cultivator, the Wind Catching Hall Master, Zeng Hua.

“Finished!”

The man’s expression changed drastically. Zeng Hua of the Ten Thousand Stone Realm had actually come!

Turning to run, Su Yu unleashed the Thunder Yuan Blade he had been preparing for so long, with a single slash!

He gave it his all!

The Myriad Clan Sect member had first charged towards Su Yu, then turned to run. His body was still in the process of turning when the sound of the blade rang out behind him!
At this moment, Su Yu, who had put forth his best effort, saw the illusion shatter, and his opponent was beginning to regain consciousness.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

“It’s fake…”

The thought flashed by, and the Yuan Qi on the blade gleamed, like lightning, before striking down with a “poof!”

Bang!

The head slammed onto the ground, and the body fell a moment later, the blood staining the ground red.

Su Yu’s face was pale. He sheathed his blade and looked around warily, not daring to be careless, afraid that someone might suddenly appear. He kept a mouthful of essence blood clenched between his teeth, ready to explode again at any moment.

The next moment, the captain rushed over, glanced at Su Yu, nodded slightly, and said with a hint of surprise, “Not bad, your attack was very decisive!”

Without saying more, the captain praised him and quickly left, the battle was not over yet.

Su Yu let out a long breath, he succeeded!

It was faster and easier than he had imagined.

He killed the opponent with a single strike!

But at this moment, his body was completely drained, his Yuan Qi exhausted. Su Yu didn’t dare to delay, and immediately swallowed a drop of Yuan Qi liquid to replenish his Yuan Qi.

“100,000 is gone… I don’t know if it’s a loss or a gain.”

Su Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. He killed a mid-stage Thousand Pound cultivator and earned two merit points. Was this a loss or a gain?

However, swallowing the Yuan Qi liquid also helped his cultivation, so it couldn’t really be considered a loss.
