Nurturing Garden, behind a rockery.
Su Yu stared at Cheng Yun-fai for a long time. Cheng Yun-fai was calm and collected.
"Did you scam something from Liu Hong?"
"No!"
Cheng Yun-fai denied it flatly!
"Do you think I'll believe that?" Su Yu rolled his eyes. "Tell me, how much did you offer him?"
"10,000 points. Didn't I say it already?" Cheng Yun-fai was speechless. "Is it still not enough? Do you know what 10,000 points means? Killing a bunch of Ling Yun! "
Su Yu snorted. "10,000 points? If you offer 10,000 points, then I'm a real idiot! "
"It's up to you to believe it or not!"
Su Yu did not say anything else. He took a deep breath and said, "Whatever you say. My teacher and I will split 8,000 points. That's not a high request, right?"
"That's not a high request?"
Cheng Yun-fai exploded. "Then I won't even be able to recover the cost of my Sky-Piercing Kill..."
Su Yu just looked at him quietly.
That's enough!
Do you really think I'm stupid?
However, I can't appear to negotiate with Liu Hong. I can only rely on this guy.
Su Yu did not know how much this guy pocketed. Anyway, it won't be a small amount.
A moment later, Cheng Yun-fai coughed lightly and laughed dryly. "8,000 points is a bit too much. How about 7,000 points?"
"I'm not competing anymore..."
Su Yu stood up and was about to leave.
Cheng Yun-fai panicked. He hurriedly said, "Don't, 8,000 points it is..."
"9,000 points!"
“？”
Cheng Yun-fai was really panicking this time. "Su Yu, you're too much!"
"You agreed too quickly!"
Su Yu said angrily, "I just said that, and you agreed without even blinking. You bastard, you must have cheated more than half of it! Maybe what you gave me was just a fraction! "
"I …"
Cheng Yun-fai was speechless. After a while, he said, "If you raise the price again, we really won't be able to play anymore! 9,000 it is. If you open your mouth again, we'll call it quits! "
"Alright!"
Su Yu didn't say anything else. He asked in a deep voice, "Does Liu Hong suspect anything?"
"I don't think so?"
Cheng Yun-fai murmured, "I suspected him, and he even gave me gifts …"
Su Yu's gaze was sharp!
Cheng Yun-fai coughed lightly and smiled. "Don't worry about it. That's the deposit I received. It's part of my share. It's not like it's extra."
Then, he said, "He gave it to me this morning …"
As he said this, he looked at Su Yu with a strange look in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to hide so much! Fifteen thousand catties, how long will it take to reach the sixth? "
"It's still early."
Su Yu didn't want to say more. Cheng Yun-fai smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
But in his heart, he took it more seriously.
This guy, he thought it was luck that this guy beat Chen Qi. Now it seemed that he didn't even use his full strength last time!
"After I scam Liu Hong this time, how about we go for the top hundred list together next month?"
"It's too early."
Su Yu shook his head. If he didn't reach the seventh thousand catties, he would never go for the top hundred list.
Maybe he had to reach the ninth thousand catties!
Either he didn't do it, or he had to have absolute strength to crush those bastards and that Huang Qifeng.
"Forget it. Anyway, I'll go for the top hundred list next month."
Cheng Yun-fai said with a serious expression. "Also, I feel that I'm not the only one who leaked information in the black market. Su Yu, did you leak information to others?"
Su Yu said calmly, "No. Oh right, if someone offers a higher price than Liu Hong, you sell it too! We'll talk about it when the time comes! "
"…"
Cheng Yun-fai frowned. "What do you want to do?"
"Earn money!"
Su Yu replied without hesitation. "Anyway, it's fake. Doesn't it matter who I sell it to? It's best to sell it at the end of the battle. We can't drag it any longer. If we drag it any longer, the school will get wind of it. If it attracts too much attention, we won't be able to continue. "
"I understand!"
Cheng Yun-fai calculated and said, "Four days later. Let's meet at a place on the 20th! Also … I feel that you're quite sneaky. I have to guard against you. If you really beat me, I'll definitely go all out that day! "
Su Yu said indifferently, "I will too! If you really lose, then I can't do anything about it! You know my trump card and you still lost. Do you want me to go easy on you? Since Liu Hong will be watching, and there might be others, do you think they won't be able to tell that we're so weak? Do you really think they're fools? "
Cheng Yun-fai became more serious!
Originally, it was just a game, but after listening to Su Yu's words, he also became more serious.
This was no longer just a game!
He was a genius, a monster, an existence that could sweep away his peers!
Su Yu wasn't on the same level as him. If he lost to Su Yu, it would be a huge blow to him.
"Su Yu … since that's the case, then on the day of the battle, you and I will put down everything and go all out. I don't need you to go easy on me. If you really win … then it's a win!"
Cheng Yun-fai stood up, his aura was high. "To put it bluntly, tens of thousands of merit points … how can it compare to my conviction to win! You are the same. Don't forget the original purpose of cultivation for those merit points. Our goal … is to become stronger! "
"To be the strongest among those of the same level and fight those of a higher level!"
Cheng Yun-fai looked at him and said solemnly, "Four days later, I'll go all out and show no mercy!"
"Same!"
Su Yu replied.
"Tens of thousands of merit points …" Su Yu replied helplessly. He sighed and said, "You're the one who exposed yourself. Next time, don't contradict yourself."
"…"
Cheng Yun-fai's aura instantly dropped. Awkward!
Su Yu was too lazy to say anything more. He turned and left.
Cheng Yun-fai called out in a low voice from behind, "Hey, I really don't have that much. Don't be so stingy. At most, I'll deduct the merit points from the Sky Piercing Slash and we'll split it according to the original plan!"
"Up to you!"
Su Yu replied and quickly left.
…
Back at the research center, Su Yu exhaled lightly.
Become stronger!
He wanted to test his strength against Cheng Yun-fai. He also wanted to see if he could fight against this generation's monster!
As for Wan Shi's blood essence, he didn't plan to use it right from the start.
"Cheng Yun-fai might advance to Fifteen Kilogram Realm. I'm no match for him …"
In terms of martial realm, he was inferior to Cheng Yun-fai. If Su Yu wanted to beat him, he could only start with Shenwen and martial techniques.
At the same realm, Cheng Yun-fai was also a monster. How could Su Yu surpass him?
"And Shenwen, Wenbing …"
"It's best if Shenwen can advance. That way, I'll have a real trump card!"
Su Yu didn't know how powerful the second level Shenwen was. He only knew that if it advanced, it would definitely be stronger than the current "Kill" word.
"Four days. I've opened 63 apertures. I still need 9 more to advance to Fifteen Kilogram Realm …"
Without Fifteen Kilogram Realm, how could he fight against Cheng Yun-fai?
"It's a pity that I can't enter the Yuan Qi Secret Realm again."
Lacking merit points, it would be a waste to enter now.
Of the 246 merit points, Su Yu spent another 66 merit points to purchase the Wan Shi Secret Realm Ironwing's blood essence.
Now, he was left with 180 merit points.
Spending money like water!
With this little bit of merit points, he would be left with 80 points to exchange for 8 drops of Mountain Breaking Ox's blood essence. That would be a waste.
"180 merit points. I'll leave some for cultivation. The rest … to strengthen Wenbing!"
At this moment, Su Yu thought of Zhao Li.
He had to make a trip to the Weapon-Forging School!
His Wenbing was just an embryo. It wasn't a truly powerful Wenbing.
With a wave of his hand, a small black knife flew out from the Blood Essence Pool. It was completely snow-white and instantly disappeared into the Sea Of Will.
…
Zhao Li asked Su Yu to come to class every Eighth day of the month. However, during this period of time, Su Yu was really busy.
He didn't have the time to come.
When he arrived at Zhao Li's research institute again, Su Yu discovered that the research institute was extremely deserted.
Previously, there were quite a number of people who came to observe. This time, there wasn't a single person.
The door was tightly shut!
Su Yu knocked on the door for a while. Only then did Zhao Li walk out with disheveled hair and a dirty face. When he saw Su Yu, he sized him up and said calmly, "Today isn't the 8th. Why are you here?"
"Teacher, I want to strengthen Wenbing."
"Strengthen Wenbing …"
Zhao Li frowned and said, "Why the rush? Your main Shenwen hasn't been decided yet. Are you sure you want to strengthen it now? Which parts of Shenwen you need to use and which parts need to be discarded? This hasn't been decided yet, and you want to strengthen it? It's not easy to remove the characteristics in the later stages. "
As they spoke, Zhao Li had already entered the door.
Su Yu followed him in. After entering the door, he didn't see the sealed corridor of the Wentan Research Center. Instead, he saw Zhao Li's research institute. The moment he entered the door, he saw a large courtyard. His research institute was only after entering the courtyard.
Lao Zhao's research institute looked more humane than the Wentan Research Center.
However, there seemed to be no one taking care of it. It also lacked the atmosphere.
"Have you come to the blacksmithing faculty recently?"
"I've attended a few classes …"
Su Yu said awkwardly, "I've been busy with cultivation recently. In addition, I've become the class monitor of the advanced class. I don't have much time, so …"
"There's no need to explain!"
Zhao Li entered the research institute. He didn't go to the hall from the previous time. Instead, he stopped in the living area and casually found a place to sit down.
"Do you want some tea?"
"No need, Teacher. I'll boil the water …"
Su Yu hurriedly went forward to help. He found a teapot and started boiling water.
Zhao Li didn't care about him. He seemed a little tired. He leaned back on the chair and exhaled. "Have you outlined the combat technique framework of Shenwen?"
"Yes, a saber."
"How many basic Shenwen?"
"…" Su Yu's action of fetching the water was a little slow. "A lot!"
"A lot?"
Zhao Li was a little surprised. He looked at Su Yu and said in a deep voice, "A lot … more than 20?"
"… Yes!"
Zhao Li clenched the chair seat tightly. There was a strange look in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Do your teachers know?"
"They think it's 18."
Interesting answer!
They think it's 18 …
"Why didn't you tell me it's 18?"
"Because I need to find a teacher to create Wenbing. I need to introduce its characteristics. I might need your help in the future. I think my Wenbing is more suitable for me …"
"How many Shenwen do you have now?"
"Four. They're all human Shenwen. Blood, thunder, kill, battle …"
"Yo!"
Zhao Li was a little surprised. "From the literal meaning, they're all offensive Shenwen! Did you choose them on purpose, or was it an accident? "
"Accident."
"That's interesting. You're born to be an offensive type. The Shenwen combat skills you've outlined are all sabers. You're born to be an offensive Shenwen division!"
Zhao Li sighed and said, "Tell me about the characteristics."
"Blood sucking, illusion, thunder, killing intent, battle intent!"
"Good characteristics!"
Zhao Li praised again. "Battle intent, killing intent, it sounds superficial. In fact, the path of attack requires this! Dare to fight, dare to fight, dare to kill! You've seen blood before. You know the importance of momentum. Before a battle, you'll have thirty percent momentum! Dense killing intent. You'll be one level weaker than others of the same level! "
Zhao Li sighed in admiration and nodded.
He thought for a while. "How much is your willpower?"
“55%。”
Yes, 55%.
It had been half a month since he advanced to Nurturing during the monthly test. Su Yu's willpower had only increased by 5%.
It had slowed down!
Moreover, during this period of time, his focus was on enlightening his apertures.
Although this speed was fast for others, it was still a lot slower for Su Yu.
It only increased by 1% every three to four days. It would not even increase by 10% in a month. The further it went, the harder it would be.
At this speed, if Su Yu wanted to reach 99%, it would probably take another year.
"Not bad!"
Zhao Li felt that it was quite fast!
Or rather, very fast.
"Under normal circumstances, before Soar, 10% of willpower can nurture one Shenwen. In other words, under Soar, nurturing 10 Shenwen is considered impressive. It's the limit."
"Of course, some people are talented or have other treasures that can nurture more."
"Your divine runic battle skill has more than 20 basic divine runes …."
Zhao Li suddenly gloated, "Kid, I don't think you have any hope of Soar!"
Su Yu was embarrassed and did not know what to say.
Zhao Li did not say much. He stood up and said, "We'll drink tea later. Let's go, I'll help you strengthen Wenbing! Give me a hand … "
"Teacher, I don't know how!"
"It's simple. Control your willpower the entire time. Attach Shenwen to Wenbing. You can't materialize it now, but you can attach it to Wenbing illusory. I can observe your characteristics more carefully and strengthen Wenbing that matches you!"
"Understood. Thank you, teacher!"
Su Yu was overjoyed!
Wenbing strengthening!
…
Ten minutes later, the two of them appeared in the hall from last time.
At this moment, it was a mess inside. Many materials were thrown on the ground in a mess.
Zhao Li did not even look and said, "Take out Wenbing!"
Su Yu's Wenbing appeared!
It floated in the air!
Zhao Li looked and nodded, "Not bad. I told you that your filtering room is suitable for Wenbing. This Wenbing embryo can advance to Mystic in a short period of time!"
"But you don't need Mystic. If you really use Mystic, you might not be able to control it."
"So there's no need to advance. At most half Mystic, stop nourishing it!"
Zhao Li said. The next moment, he said solemnly, "Attach Shenwen to it and unleash its greatest power. Its characteristics will be revealed!"
As soon as he said that, Zhao Li's vision blurred!
Illusion!
Zhao Li was a little surprised. He did not break the illusion but observed it carefully. Then, he was slightly surprised.
A very strong illusion!
He was Ling Yun Seven, but he actually had a slight influence. This seemed to be much stronger than the average first rank Shenwen.
Then, in the illusion, thunder rumbled!
Killing intent exploded!
Fight!
Kill!
"They are all very strong …"
Zhao Li was surprised. This kid's four Shenwen were very strong. The human race's Shenwen were generally weaker, but this kid's Shenwen was not weak at all.
Especially this illusion, it felt so strong that it was not like the first rank Shenwen.
"Continue!"
Zhao Li shouted, "Show me all the characteristics. I will strengthen your Wenbing according to the characteristics!"
The next moment, a flame appeared in his hand. A piece of black metal ore on the ground was melted by him, "This is used to stabilize Wenbing. You are an offensive type Shenwen, your weapon must be strong enough!"
"This material is called Black Yellow Iron. Remember it carefully!"
As he melted the material, a hammer appeared. Bang, bang, ding ding dang …
Accompanied by a series of sounds, Su Yu's black knife was covered with a layer of thin film.
"Ah!"
Su Yu cried out in a low voice. He felt some pain.
"Continue to attach the Shenwen. This thing is currently attaching itself to Wenbing. Attaching itself to Shenwen, there will definitely be pain. That's normal, but forging it this way is more suitable for you. The Wenbing you bought outside and handed to a blacksmith to forge isn't suitable for your Shenwen!"
"Thank you, Teacher …"
Su Yu thanked him. He felt that his head was about to explode.
It was very painful!
However, Zhao Li didn't care about him. He wanted to see how long this kid could persist.
55% full charge, continuously erupting four Shenwen. He even forged Wenbing on the spot, burning his willpower. If Su Yu could persist for five minutes, he would be considered impressive!
"This kid is very resilient. I will give him ten minutes!"
"Ten minutes later, I will wait for you to call me grandpa!"
…
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of forging sounds could be heard, accompanied by Zhao Li's explanation.
"This is a Dazzling Light Stone. It can make the illusion more realistic!"
A pile of liquid seeped into the Wenbing, burning Su Yu's willpower!
Every time the giant hammer hammered the Wenbing, the Wenbing would be fine. However, Su Yu felt as though his head was being hammered by a giant hammer!
Five minutes, eight minutes, ten minutes …
Su Yu's forehead was filled with sweat, and his face was pale.
Zhao Li glanced at him and said calmly, "Are you alright? You can also retrieve the Shenwen. It's just that it isn't that compatible. It isn't too convenient to use it, but it can still be used! "
"Teacher … it's fine!"
Su Yu gasped for breath. His clothes were already soaked in sweat.
The ground he was standing on had a circle of water stains.
Sweat dripped down!
"Continue then. Tell me when you can't hold on anymore!"
Zhao Li continued, but he felt increasingly regretful in his heart.
A pity … it was truly a pity!
Why didn't you enter the Weaponsmithing faculty?
However, Su Yu had been sketching the offensive Shenwen. He also knew that this kid was more suitable for the offensive Dao. However, he felt a little indignant. This kid hadn't even enrolled in the faculty, and I already took a fancy to him!
The old man and the young man no longer spoke.
Zhao Li forged in a muffled voice. Su Yu's body trembled. He gritted his teeth and endured the forging.
Gradually, Su Yu felt a little dizzy.
He didn't notice that the giant hammer had been hammering the Wenbing previously. At this moment, the giant hammer was hammering the air. Or rather … his willpower!
Zhao Li didn't utter a word!
The giant hammer danced in the air, hammering silently!
Forging the spirit!
Expanding the spirit!
How could one become strong without going through thousands of tempering?
How could one be tough without thousands of tempering?
Willpower was also a kind of material, a material for forging!
Only by hammering and tempering could one create the strongest willpower in the same level, the strongest Sea Of Will!
"Forging the weapon … and also the person!"
Zhao Li silently said in his heart. How many of my hammers can you withstand?
He had accepted many students. The last time he told Su Yu that he had a student who was Ling Yun. He was 120 years old!
In these years, he had accepted 14 disciples.
Ever since the last disciple graduated, he didn't accept any more disciples.
He taught each of his 14 students with all his heart!
He gave every student a chance.
Forging the Wenbing. After 5 minutes, those people would get such a chance. Forging the spirit!
Out of the 14 people, 12 persisted for 5 minutes. This meant that Zhao Li wasn't blind. He had a good eye for people.
Out of the 12 people, 3 fainted after withstanding the hammer.
Out of the remaining 9 people, 6 didn't withstand more than 3 hammers.
Out of the last 3 people, the one who withstood the most 9 hammers was his strongest disciple, the student from Ling Yunjing!
This might also be a kind of potential. The more one withstood, the greater the future prospects.
Zhao Li didn't know if this was the case, but looking at his students, they all proved this point.
3 times!
Bang!
Su Yu's ears were ringing, and his eyes were blurry.
4 times!
Su Yu's sweat was like water, dripping down.
5 hammers, 6 hammers …
The huge hammer fell again and again!
The rumbling sound echoed in Su Yu's mind!
The Sea Of Will was as steady as Mount Tai. His willpower was destroyed time and time again, but in the blink of an eye, it was reborn!
Pain!
Su Yu didn't know why he was in so much pain.
Was forging the weapon like this?
Could it be that this was the only way to forge the strongest Wenbing?
"Te … Teacher …"
Zhao Li's body trembled slightly. Damn it, this kid can still speak?
What the hell!
"Teacher …" Su Yu's voice trembled, "This Wenbing … Forging … Can it … Compare to Mystic Rank Wenbing?"
"More or less!"
"Then … Then is it very expensive?"
"…"
Zhao Li cursed in his heart and said in a low voice, "Of course! A low-grade Mystic Rank Wenbing is worth thousands of merit points! Yours is only at the peak of Yellow Rank. If you hold on long enough and forge something comparable to Mystic Rank, it will increase from 100 merit points to 1000 merit points … "
"Increased … increased by 900 merit points?"
Su Yu was shocked, and his willpower was wavering.
"Hold on, not now. At least … at least 30 hammers!"
Zhao Li cursed in his heart. What a bastard who valued money more than his life!
"That … that hammer is worth 30 merit points …"
Su Yu was stupefied. The next moment, he was invigorated and full of fighting spirit. He roared, "Teacher, hit me!"
The word "Battle" in Shenwen was dazzling!
The battle intent was too strong!
How could Su Yu not be excited?
30 merit points for one hammer. Teacher, hurry up and hammer me, don't just stand there!
"…"
Zhao Li was in a daze.
Damn it!
I'm a teacher, not a bookkeeper!
You're really smart! You're so clear!
"Hold on … 30 merit points for one hammer!"
Zhao Li was speechless. He didn't care anymore. This guy's battle intent was already out. At this moment, Shenwen was shining brightly. What else could he say?
Bang!
Another hammer strike!
"210 points!"
Su Yu roared!
He remembered that he had been hammered seven times. He had also been hammered many times before, but the feeling was different. Su Yu felt that the hammer at the end was the key.
Actually, Zhao Li wanted to beat him up, but now wasn't the time.
Rumble!
"240 points …"
Bang!
Bang!
Again and again, Su Yu shouted until his throat was hoarse. This was his motivation.
I'm poor!
I don't have money to buy Wenbing!
If he could forge a Mystic Rank Wenbing, he would be able to use Soar.
What was this bit of pain?
"390 points …"
Su Yu's throat was sore from all the shouting. His face was flushed red and his veins were popping out!
Zhao Li's gaze changed as well.
13 hammer strikes!
He was just joking when he said 30 hammer strikes. This brat Su Yu wouldn't collapse from his beatings, right?
"Is there anything wrong with the Sea Of Will?"
Zhao Li roared!
"No … nothing … Teacher, hammer me!"
Zhao Li was shocked. (You're fine?)
(You still want me to hammer you?)
Bang!
Another hammer strike. At this moment, Su Yu's Sea Of Will trembled slightly. The golden book rippled a little. Outside the book, a huge force invaded and actually pushed the book.
Su Yu, who was in a daze, didn't feel it.
The golden book was pushed by the huge force and moved a little. At this moment, Su Yu's Sea Of Will seemed to have expanded a little.
Zhao Li's body also trembled. His giant hammer seemed to have suffered the backlash and was trembling slightly.
"Mn?"
Zhao Li was stunned. Sea Of Will Barrier?
This guy, only now did he touch the barrier of his sea of willpower?
He thought that he had touched it long ago!
The Sea Of Will was different in terms of strength and size. Of course, this was only in one's perception and not in reality.
At this moment, his giant hammer had already shaken Su Yu's Sea Of Will. This meant that he had touched his Sea Of Will Barrier.
"I just touched it..."
Zhao Li was stunned. He really thought that he had touched it long ago.
In that case, this brat had only expanded his Sea Of Will a little. His willpower had become stronger.
This strength wasn't in the accumulation but in the breadth! Endurance!
The Sea Of Will was a bottle. Now, Zhao Li was expanding it.
The bottle was expanding.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Zhao Li's forehead was covered in sweat. He shouted in a low voice and directly smashed down with his giant hammer!
Bang!
"450 points..."
Bang!
"480 points..."
"Boom boom boom..."
"Teacher... hit... hit slower..."
Su Yu felt that he couldn't count anymore. He was in a daze.
"Count my a * s. Continue!"
Zhao Li's face turned pale. Using the Spirit Expansion Art like this consumed a lot of his willpower.
One hammer after another!
Finally, with a bang, Su Yu fell to the ground.
He fainted!
Zhao Li also fell to the ground, panting violently and sweating profusely. He looked at Su Yu with a strange gaze. (Damn, I've encountered a ghost!)
(Is he still human?)
"How many hammers was it? 28?"
Zhao Li mumbled. Unexpectedly, the unconscious Su Yu seemed to have woken up. He mumbled, "870 points... 29... Teacher... give me another hammer..."
Bang!
Zhao Li knocked him out with a slap!
(Sleep well!)
(Damn, he's still thinking about money!)
(He must have gone crazy thinking about money!)
(If I continue hammering, this brat's Sea Of Will will really collapse!)
"28... no, 29!"
Zhao Li mumbled, feeling a little disbelief.
Back then, his disciple who withstood nine hammers was now Ling Yun. He wasn't even 50 years old yet.
In that case, how strong could Su Yu who withstood 29 hammers be?
Although this didn't necessarily represent potential, but...
Zhao Li rubbed his head, feeling a headache.
Mountain and Sea?
Sun and Moon?
Or... that unfathomable eternity?
"I must have not slept well last night and didn't use enough strength today. Otherwise, I would have smashed him to death with three hammers!"
Zhao Li mumbled!
(I don't believe it!)
(But this brat... is really terrifying. His toughness is terrifying, and his potential is terrifying.)
(This daddy is about to hammer you to death, yet you still remember to count. I can't help but be impressed.)
Zhao Li thought about it and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
(Is this because of his great potential or because of his greed?)
"His willpower is so weak, yet he persisted until now. It's too terrifying! Indomitable, tempered a thousand times! "
If the willpower of others was said to be like steel, then Su Yu... he was already at the Hundred Refinement stage from the start!
"Something's wrong. Where does his toughness come from? It feels like... as if he has experienced hundreds or thousands of times of devastation in the past!"
Zhao Li scratched his head, causing his hair to fall out.
How old was Su Yu?
Why did it feel like he had been tempered hundreds or thousands of times?
