Chapter 71: Make Them Suffer | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]

Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 18, 2025

The Great Xia Civilization Academy.

With the new students about to enroll, the Civilization Academy also began to get busy.

The atmosphere within the academy was much more lively than usual.

Students came and went in a hurry, and instructors also started bustling around.

With the opening of the Ten Thousand Races Training Institute this year, there was even more to do.

Beneath the hustle and bustle, a storm was brewing.

…………

The Mind Cultivation Pavilion.

In the huge pavilion, the controversy arose again.

As Wan Tiansheng’s voice fell, someone immediately and vehemently objected, “I disagree! Wan Tiansheng, what exactly are you trying to do?”

An elder angrily rebuked, “Do you want to betray the Human Race?”

“Opening the Ten Thousand Races Training Institute is one thing, but also opening the secret realms? Why don’t you just take them to the Realm of Seeking to study, wouldn’t that be better?”

Wan Tiansheng said calmly, “Going to the Realm of Seeking is not impossible either.”

“You!”

The white-haired elder was furious, shouting, “You want to rebel against the Human Race!”

“Wan has never said such a thing.”

Wan Tiansheng said calmly, “I said, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated! If you don’t pay a price, how will the various races give us important things, how will they work for our Human Race?”

“Just thinking about gains without thinking about giving, how can that work?”

Wan Tiansheng was very calm, “Opening some secret realms for them, is that betrayal? Even if we really nurture a few strong individuals for them, so what?”

“Wan Tiansheng, you have good intentions!” Someone said coldly, “But you must know that those who are not of our race are sure to have different intentions! You want to cultivate some strong individuals to become the backbone of their respective races, and then give back to the Human Race… I can only say that you underestimate people’s hearts too much!”

“When the time comes, when they are in high positions and have great power, will they still care about the kindness they received in the Human Race back then?”

Wan Tiansheng said calmly, “Even if one person remembers the favor, it may be possible to pull in an entire race. What’s not to like?”

“Humph!” An elder coldly snorted, “Then you should also think about it, cultivating a strong individual for the Ten Thousand Races, the Human Race will have one less. If a strong individual from the Ten Thousand Races kills a strong individual from the Human Race, who will bear the consequences?”

Wan Tiansheng asked in surprise, “If we don’t give the Ten Thousand Races students resources, they won’t have them themselves? If we give Human Race students resources, they will definitely become strong individuals?”

“Absurd!”

“Wan Tiansheng, what are your intentions!”

“…”

The crowd rebuked!

Wan Tiansheng sighed, “Everyone, please calm down! Don’t always jump to conclusions. I haven’t finished speaking, and you’re already talking about rebellion and betrayal. What’s the point?”

Shaking his head, Wan Tiansheng sighed, “Let me put it this way, we pay a certain price, but we can also get some rewards. On the battlefield of the heavens, these races can provide us with some information. In addition, the Ten Thousand Races Sect, some of the sects they control can be used by us, which is much stronger than individual undercover agents.”

“Also, a thousand gold buys horse bones. This year is a trial run. Once the first batch of Ten Thousand Races students get a lot of benefits and cultivate strong individuals, the smaller races will follow suit.”

“Following the Human Race will get you meat to eat! What’s not to like!”

“But once the first batch of students, we fail to bring them any benefits… To be honest, if that’s the case, the Ten Thousand Races are watching, and the smaller races are hesitating. Will they still be willing to come at this time?”

Wan Tiansheng shook his head, “No, risking offending the major powerful races and coming to the Human Race, but ending up with no benefits, who would be willing? The smaller races will continue to waver, and may even bite the Human Race at a crucial moment… In fact, as long as we spend a little bit of money, we can solve these risks.”

After speaking, in the pavilion, an elder said coldly, “Since you, Wan Tiansheng, value the Ten Thousand Races students so much, then you can’t be biased! These resources don’t come from nowhere. Since you’d rather give them to the Ten Thousand Races students, then just give out more and open more secret realms to them!”

Wan Tiansheng said calmly, “Why not! However, opening the secret realms requires a lot of resources each time. The Ten Thousand Races students pay for their own openings. If you want to open them, pay for it yourselves!”

“Okay, it’s a deal!”

The elder who spoke quickly concluded the matter. They had long hoped to open more high-end secret realms. Now that Wan Tiansheng had agreed, it would be much easier.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged woman who had not spoken much until now said lazily, “Open a high-level secret realm? How about this, our faction wants 10 places. Oh, and we won’t pay, we’ll just send people.”

As soon as these words came out, the elder who had just spoken was furious, shouting, “Wu Yuehua, what do you mean?”

The woman said lazily, “What do I mean? Isn’t what I said clear enough? You pay, I send people. When the secret realm is opened, I want to send people in. It’s that simple. Are you deaf and can’t understand?”

The old man’s face was gloomy, “If you provide the treasures needed to open it, I’ll allow you to send people in!”

The woman spread her hands, “No money, no resources, no merit points! All gone! If you don’t believe me, ask the Wan guy, do I have any of these?”

“Then don’t even think about it!”

The old man refused. Wanting to send people in without providing anything, what a dream.

Wu Yuehua didn’t care, smiling lightly, “Then I won’t go in. Those secret realms… aren’t yours! They are the legacy left by generations of civilization masters, with those left by my teacher, my junior uncle, my grandmaster… Oh, and those left by the Fifth-generation Prefecture Head, the Fourth-generation Prefecture Head…”

Wu Yuehua said calmly, “Since my people can’t go in, then no one should go in! Whoever dares to go in… hehe, I’ll blow up the secret realm and let you play by yourselves!”

Saying that, she glanced at Wan Tiansheng, who was watching the show, and sneered, “You have money and power, we have nothing. Since we have nothing… the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes! In recent years, you have suppressed our factions, now you’re playing a double act with me, what a dream!”

“Do you really think no one can deal with you?”

Wu Yuehua slammed the table, smashing it to pieces, “I’m putting my word here! If my people can’t get in, no one can get in! What Ten Thousand Races, what factions, what future of the academy… I’m a woman, I don’t care about those things!”
“Don’t push me to lose my temper. If you piss me off, we’re done! I’ve already decided. A Divine Script, a Divine Pill, a Divine Talisman… we’re all leaving the Great Xia Civilization Academy. The Great Zhou and Great Ming Academies have already offered exorbitant prices for us to join!”

Wu Yuehua said coldly, “Since you’re suppressing us, then we’ll start our own faction! Wan Tiansheng, Zhou Mingren, you’re playing good cop, bad cop, you can play by yourselves. Fifty years ago, we retreated, and fifty years later… you think you can pull this again? Do you think I’m as stupid as Liu Wenyan, willing to compromise for some grand cause or future?”

Wu Yuehua shouted, “I’m putting it out there. If you dare abandon us and hog all the benefits… then we’re done. I’ll gather all the Civilization Masters from various factions in the Great Xia Prefecture, transfer to the Great Ming Prefecture, and start another academy. Let’s see who can beat who!”

“Let’s go!”

With that, Wu Yuehua strode away.

At the same time, four or five out of the thirty-odd council elders stood up and left.

Someone said gloomily before leaving, “Going too far is inappropriate. Hong Tan hasn’t returned yet, Wan Tiansheng, don’t be a weathervane, siding with whoever’s stronger. We all know your little tricks! You’re trying to maintain stability, but we’re not stable… if you don’t level the playing field, then your grand ambitions… you can play by yourselves!”

“Nonsense…” The council elder who had scolded Wu Yuehua earlier rebuked angrily, “Is there no order anymore?”

“Heh…”

Outside the door, Wu Yuehua’s cold laughter echoed, “Zhou Mingren, don’t act old and important! Fifty years ago, if those idiots hadn’t retreated themselves, would you have the authority to command? What’s this, you want to eliminate our factions and dominate everything?”

“If you dare to keep yapping, I’ll risk everything today, tear down this Mind Cultivation Pavilion, break through the Prefecture Gate, and defect to another Prefecture, so you can stop being arrogant!”

“…”

Zhou Mingren’s expression was ugly. He grunted but didn’t say anything more.

The footsteps faded away.

After they left, the old man said angrily, “Prefect, this is the result of your indulgence!”

Wan Tiansheng said innocently, “Old Zhou, it has nothing to do with me, right? I can’t afford to offend anyone. You guys started arguing with each other, what can I do?”

Wan Tiansheng sighed, “See, I told you not to push them too hard, but you insisted on doing it… when the Secret Realm opens, give them some quotas, otherwise, I won’t be able to explain myself.”

“If they really leave, the Great Xia Civilization Academy’s strength will instantly be reduced by 30%. When the Prefect Master comes out of seclusion… I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it, and you won’t be in a good place either.”

The old man said coldly, “Wu Yuehua is deliberately acting unreasonable! I said, when the Secret Realm opens, they can provide their own resources, and everyone can enter together. Did I stop them? They themselves are unwilling and want to freeload. Are we supposed to indulge that too?”

The old man said somewhat indignantly, “Didn’t we earn our resources ourselves?”

Wan Tiansheng coughed lightly and said helplessly, “This… is hard to say! Back then, many geniuses from their factions were expelled, and some of them are still alive, but they have no income and can barely support themselves… Wu Yuehua and the others have to subsidize them a lot…”

“That’s their own responsibility!”

Wan Tiansheng interrupted, “That’s what you say, but back then, all their resources were taken away, and many people still had a lot of debts. Wu Yuehua has paid back five or six thousand merits just for Liu Wenyan, and she’s also helped pay off a lot of debts for others, totaling over ten thousand merits.”

Wan Tiansheng sighed, “Old Zhou, if you really push them too hard, neither of us will have a good time. Let’s just let it go.”

The old man said in a low voice, “We didn’t force them to leave debts back then, did we? Moreover… they took away a lot of extremely important things, Wan Tiansheng, tell me yourself, did we force them? If they hadn’t taken those things, would things be like this?”

“Have we forcibly taken anything from them in recent years? Their strength has never improved. How many people are stuck before Manifestation? Some people are unwilling to return those things even when they’re dying, preferring to take them to the grave. Is that right?”

The old man said angrily, “Who’s more selfish? Just because Wu Yuehua helped them pay off their debts and they have no income, they can freeload off us? If she dares to take people away, then let her go! Do you really think we wouldn’t dare to leave? Which Prefecture, Great Ming, Great Zhou, or Great Shang, wouldn’t welcome us?”

Wan Tiansheng sighed, “You’re right, everyone has their difficulties. But in recent years, you guys have had more income after all. The Academy, including the Seeking Realm and the Great Xia Prefecture, allocates a lot of funds every year, but they don’t get much. As the Prefect, it’s not good for me to be too biased. I still have to be fair.”

“Old Zhou, let’s do this, this time we’ll follow Wu Yuehua’s request. If she dares to threaten us again next time, then we’ll expel them!”

Old Zhou wanted to say something but stopped. After a long silence, he snorted coldly and got up to leave.

As soon as he left, many council elders followed him out.

In the hall, there were still a dozen council elders left.

Wan Tiansheng smiled and didn’t mind.

One of the council elders who remained in the hall laughed, “Old Wan, that’s too much! Don’t always provoke them to fight. If they fight too fiercely and really become enemies, it won’t be good.”

“It’s okay.”

Wan Tiansheng laughed, “Wu Yuehua is just good with words. If she really rebelled… could she do it? Even if she agreed, Hong Tan and the others wouldn’t. Old Zhou’s side, they always take a little advantage, they have to pay a price.”

“That old man is still thinking about those guys’ things. What’s there to think about?”

Wan Tiansheng didn’t think much of it, “If they spent that time on their own research, they might have been able to figure it out themselves. It’s been fifty years and he still can’t let it go, what’s the point!”

Wan Tiansheng shook his head and said, “It’s good for them to fight. If they don’t fight, it won’t be so convenient for us to do things. Look, as soon as they start fighting, who cares about how we’re doing things.”

In the hall, someone chuckled and said, “Old Wan, know your limits. Be careful they really get angry and leave. Then you’ll have no one to cry to.”

“Don’t worry…”
Wan Tiansheng didn’t think much of it and said, “Aren’t you all clear? Half of their so-called envoys from various prefectures are sent by us. The prices they offer are sky-high. They are too embarrassed to consult the prefects of the various prefectures, so they believe it’s true and really defect… Once they quote a price, haha, it’s less than one-tenth of the previous price. These guys would be lucky not to turn hostile!”

Hearing this, the several Grand Secretaries couldn’t help but stifle their laughter.

Someone cursed in a low voice, “Shameless!”

Wan Tiansheng was truly shameless!

Afraid that those guys would really run away, he secretly sent many people to impersonate envoys and offer high prices. This was not an official action, but a private poaching behavior. Even if the various prefectures found out, they would be too embarrassed to say it out loud.

But when Wu Yuehua and the others really defected, and they were connected… it would be a disaster!

The prices that Wan Tiansheng offered were unbearable for the various prefectures. How could they not turn hostile?

Before, Wu Yuehua was arrogant, and Lao Zhou was also unconvinced, saying that the various prefectures were waiting for them and offering high prices…

These people just listened and secretly rejoiced, but didn’t dare to expose it.

If they really exposed it, Wan Tiansheng would be beaten to death by both sides today.

He was too shameless!

Despite the laughter, someone still said seriously, “Lao Wan, the academy’s reputation of you hasn’t been good lately! The emergence of the Ten Thousand Clan Training Institute has put the academy in big trouble…”

“It’s not trouble!”

Wan Tiansheng said calmly, “It’s an opportunity! It’s also an opportunity for reform! The academy is now bloated and unbearable. The students are unmotivated! Internal strife is constant! I want them to unite against the outside world. The Ten Thousand Clan Training Institute is the target. They can’t continue to fight internally. Even if they fight, there must be a limit!”

“Fight against the Ten Thousand Clan students, use the hands of the Ten Thousand Clan students to clean up some burdens! Stimulate the students’ fighting spirit and return the academy to orthodoxy! Those who should leave will leave, those who should stay will stay, streamline the organization, and also open up new sources of income. This source… lies in those small clans!”

“Instead of our own people fighting internally, it’s better to unite against the outside world. Whether it’s Wu Yuehua or Lao Zhou, they hurt each other too much when they fight on their own. I introduce the Ten Thousand Clans, and they will soon fight against the Ten Thousand Clans. Internal strife will be reduced, and they will use the hands of the Ten Thousand Clans to hone themselves and hone the students. This is very good!”

A Grand Secretary hesitated, “What about the Ten Thousand Clans…”

“It doesn’t matter!”

Wan Tiansheng said calmly, “Struggle is also a form of honing. Without struggle, how can strong individuals emerge! How can elites emerge! In the end, those who remain are strong individuals, are elites. Originally, they were only average or above average Ten Thousand Clan students, but after fighting, those who remain are elite students! For the Ten Thousand Clans, losing some trash and honing a group of elites, do you think they would care about those dead trash?”

“No!”

“That’s it then!”

Wan Tiansheng smiled and said, “I have already made plans for the next step. The God Clan’s Ten Thousand God Prefecture and the Demon Clan’s Various Realm Purgatory are all targets of our Great Xia Civilization Academy! Fight them, defeat them!”

“When the Ten Thousand Clan students and the Human Clan students in the academy are fighting to the point of tearing their faces, shift the focus again and fight the gods and demons together! Let the Ten Thousand Clan students see that the gods and demons are not invincible!”

“Once they defeat them, the Ten Thousand Clan students will realize… that the gods and demons are not scary!”

Wan Tiansheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Since the gods and demons can also lose, and are not scary, then why be afraid of them? Those small clans that are wavering will have three points less of fear, and will they still listen to them? In this way, the Great Xia Civilization Academy will be stronger, the students will be stronger, the internal strife will be gone, confidence will be there, and resources will come… What a great thing!”

Another Grand Secretary said again, “This is under the condition that everything goes smoothly. I’m just afraid that it won’t go smoothly.”

“Not smoothly…”

Wan Tiansheng nodded, “There is a possibility of failure. The Ten Thousand God Prefecture and the Various Heavens Purgatory are not easy to provoke. Once we lose, then all previous efforts will be in vain, and instead, all clans will see the power of the gods and demons.”

Everyone looked at Wan Tiansheng, worried, “Then you’ll be in big trouble!”

“Not troublesome.”

Wan Tiansheng didn’t think much of it and said, “When Xia Longwu leaves seclusion, he will lead the Dragon Martial Guard and the Demon Suppression Army to kill into the Heavens Battlefield, kill the gods and demons, and achieve invincibility! Abolish my position as the head of the academy, and make a complete renovation. All failures are my fault. The spearhead will point at me. The Great Xia Prefecture is still the Great Xia Prefecture. I, Wan Tiansheng, will find another place to mess around. Could they possibly kill me?”

Wan Tiansheng laughed and said, “So, this is a very good opportunity, to innovate, to break the old, and the price to pay will not be too high. Everyone, this opportunity is too rare, how can we give it up?”

Someone sighed softly!

You make it sound easy, but in the end, your Wan Tiansheng’s lifelong reputation will be ruined. You will be engraved on the pillar of shame and become the shame of the Great Xia Prefecture and even the Human Clan!

You will be labeled with traitor, human adulterer, mediocrity… all kinds of humiliating prefixes.

You, Wan Tiansheng, will be shouted at by everyone, and only Xia Longwu will achieve success.

Wan Tiansheng didn’t care what they thought and continued, “Having said that, this year’s students must be cultivated well! We can’t let them become useless again!”

His face became much more serious, and he said in a low voice, “In the past, we fought behind closed doors, and it didn’t matter if we lost, but now, we’re not fighting among ourselves, we’re fighting with the outside world! If we lose, we die!”

“Well, I want them to see the cruelty of the outside world. Some things can’t be experienced through internal strife!”

Wan Tiansheng took a deep breath and said sternly, “Cultivate them well. This year’s senior researchers, all of you go out and lead the students! Among the students, I don’t expect everyone to be outstanding, but you must arrange for a few monstrous existences to stimulate the students! Even if it’s a shill, play the role of a shill well!”

“If there are really no outstanding ones…” Wan Tiansheng gritted his teeth and said, “You few, give me a makeover, find a fake body, and even if you pretend to be students, you have to pretend to be some monsters, do you remember?”

“…”

Everyone was speechless!

Lao Wan is crazy!

He wants them to pretend to be students!

These people are all Mountain and Sea Realm experts. You want them to act young…

Someone sighed, “Lao Wan, this is not appropriate, don’t hit the students so hard that they die, then it will be difficult to explain.”
“Afraid of setbacks? Then what kind of prodigy or genius are they? If they’re afraid of setbacks, they might as well go home!”

Wan Tiansheng said dismissively, “It’s just to let them see what cruelty is! When they reach the Sky Soaring Realm in half a year, you directly reach the seventh level of Sky Soaring. When they reach the Soaring Cloud Realm, you reach the Mountain and Sea Realm… Always be a step ahead of them, let them know there’s always someone better!”

“That kid from the Great Zhou Prefecture is just too arrogant, thinking he’s invincible. I think he’ll be spoiled sooner or later. He’s arrogant, unruly, and thinks his talent is amazing, but in reality, he’s nothing!”

Wan Tiansheng grumbled and quickly said, “Just do it this way, I don’t care. Some of you should announce your seclusion and join someone else. If you’re embarrassed to join someone else, just pick someone from the group to be your teacher, become their disciple, and appear from time to time to shock the students!”

Wan Tiansheng smiled sinisterly, “Go all out, don’t be afraid of crushing them. Oh, and provoke those so-called geniuses from time to time, step on them to climb up, kill one if you can. It’s better to provide resources to real prodigies than to provide them to useless people!”

An old man sighed, “If they find out about this one day… how will we face them?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t worry, we won’t betray you, who would know?”

Wan Tiansheng laughed, “This is also for the future of the academy. To put it bluntly, it’s for the entire human race. If it works well, I will suggest that the Seeking Realm and the War God Hall promote it comprehensively!”

Wan Tiansheng became more and more enthusiastic, and said insidiously, “If these people can really grow up in the future, not only will they not cause trouble, but they will also participate and become a part of it. Won’t they want to make up for the losses they suffered on others? This is what we call passing it down from generation to generation, keeping the flame burning…”

Someone chuckled, “Old Wan, I always feel that if you do this, and people find out about it in the future, it will cause big trouble sooner or later. You’re not leaving these students any way out.”

Between the students from the Myriad Clans, the powerhouses from the two highest academies of Gods and Demons, and the hidden old generation powerhouses, Wan Tiansheng was truly something else, one scheme after another, pushing the students to the point of despair.

If someone stands out, wouldn’t they retaliate against him?

Wan Tiansheng didn’t care at all and made a final decision, “It’s settled then! Also, focus on the new students this year. I heard that there are many geniuses this year, each of them arrogant. Give them a hard time!”

“Old Wan, you also have descendants here…”

“Don’t care about that, give them hell. If you dare to trample on the descendants of the Wan Clan Leader, no one else will have any objections! Oh, and Old Zheng’s grandson is also here, that’s a good target too. If you dare to offend the descendants of the two Clan Leaders, who else are you afraid of? The Xia family, the Hu family… teach them all a good lesson!”

Wan Tiansheng finished speaking and said happily, “Also, beat down Xia Fatty’s descendants to death, it’s best to beat them until they drop out of school. Xia Fatty is so rich, but he actually told me a few days ago that he can’t afford his family’s tuition this year and asked me to give him a free ride… You guys give him a good thrashing!”

Everyone laughed again, was Marquis Xiahou being too stingy?

“The wind is rising, I hope that in the next few sessions of students, some good talents can emerge…”

Wan Tiansheng sighed and murmured, “Fifty years ago, we drove those guys away. As a result, the academy became stronger, but… it also restricted some people, they no longer dared to take risks, no longer dared to do things their own way, and cultivated a batch of cookie-cutter guys. Many students were spoiled by me… I’m very sorry for them. We did produce people in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but not a single top-tier one… Fifty years!”

For a full fifty years, the Great Xia Civilization Academy had not produced a single top powerhouse.

Although fifty years wasn’t too long, in previous years, even when the academy was weak, a top-tier one could emerge every few decades.

But now… nothing!

Wan Tiansheng knew that some things could no longer be reversed. Today’s students had all become good boys and girls, becoming standardized tools. If they didn’t reform, the Great Xia Civilization Academy might continue to prosper, but it would never again become the mainstay of the human race in resisting the Myriad Clans.

The cultivation of high-end powerhouses had serious drawbacks and a gap, which was even more terrifying to Wan Tiansheng than the destruction of the academy!

What was even more terrifying was that the incident fifty years ago involved not only the Great Xia Prefecture, but even the entire human realm!

This was terrifying!

Terrifying to the point that he had been unable to sleep well for the past few decades. If he didn’t reform, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to wait for that day.
