"drink!"
A light shout accompanied by the sound of a sword rang out in the training room.
Ever since he dismantled the wardrobe last time, Su Yu didn't dare to practice at home this time to practice the more powerful Lei Yuan Sword. He was worried about dismantling the house and splitting the floor, and the old man downstairs would beat him with his fist as big as a casserole.
The uniform military knife was extremely fast, breaking through the air and making a whistling sound.
Su Yu panted slightly, put away the knife, and frowned.
Disaster!
It was too early and too difficult for him to learn Xuan-level martial arts.
Even if it is the first sword - a lightning strike, under normal circumstances, the nine orifices will be linked together and the sword will return to its origin in one cut.
"I have learned the posture, but the key is vitality!"
Su Yu concluded that he had learned the posture for the lightning strike, which was not difficult at all.
The key is to link the acupoints, release the vital energy, gather the force into one, attach the vital energy to the knife, and then strike out with thunder to kill the enemy with one blow!
After all, he had only opened eight orifices, and could only use the vital energy in his body, not the vital energy from the outside world.
"I still can't quickly gather my energy and inject it all into the blade."
Su Yu frowned. It’s been three days.
He had been practicing this sword for three days, which was not too long. However, even though he read "Thunder Yuan Sword" several times every day during these three days, he still could not grasp the method of returning his vital energy to one.
This means he hasn't gotten started yet!
Getting started can at least inject vitality into the blade.
What remains is proficiency and speed to complete the injection of vital energy instantly.
After three days, he hadn't even gotten started, let alone how to speed up and how to instantly inject vital energy.
"Does it have to be Kaiyuan Nineth Level?"
Su Yu sighed. He actually wanted to cultivate to the ninth level of Kaiyuan first. The key was that he had used his blood essence to cultivate once in the past three days, and found that the effect was not as good as before. The speed of opening the last acupoint was very slow.
At this rate, it will probably take at least a month.
The last time I reached the eighth level of Kaiyuan, it took 20 days. So a month for the ninth level of Kaiyuan was considered good.
It would also cost a lot of blood and essence. Now Su Yu only had two drops of Iron Wing Bird blood left, so he had to keep one drop just in case.
"Eight orifices linked, how can I control the vital energy to enter the place I want to inject it?"
The vital energy is somewhat disobedient and cannot be moved wherever you want it to.
Su Yu stopped practicing swordsmanship. He sat down, drank a glass of water, and began to think.
"The skill of the Iron Wing Bird Clan that is unlocked in the atlas, the tearing attack, is to gather the energy on the palm. The palm is extremely sharp and can tear apart all the enemy's defenses."
"But that's run by the atlas, not under my control."
"Now I need to inject vitality into the blade. The principle is the same. The atlas uses the power of blood essence, not external vitality. This is also the same as the principle of my own stored vitality..."
Su Yu felt a little pain in his heart. He probably knew how to quickly get started with the Thunder Yuan Sword.
Continue to use essence and blood to activate the tearing skill, and observe how the vital energy gathers and circulates.
You know your own body best. No matter how clearly Liu Wenyan's Will is displayed, it is not as intuitive as trying it yourself.
“It costs money again!”
30,000 for a drop of blood, is it worth it just to try and observe it once
For many people, it's definitely worth it.
For Su Yu, he actually doesn't mind spending money. He is not stingy, but he is really short of money now.
"Forget it, just use one drop! If I can kill a Qianjun by then, I can earn back the merit points, and I can also master the Thunder Yuan Knife. Overall, it's still a win."
Su Yu hasn't used this thing since he last activated his martial arts in the academy.
Last time he was at the fourth level of Kaiyuan, and now he is at the eighth level.
Su Yu no longer hesitated and quickly took out a bottle from his pocket. He always carried the essence and blood with him in case of any unexpected events.
Having made the decision, Su Yu was no longer vague.
A drop of essence and blood was quickly swallowed by him. This time he did not activate the Na Yuan Jue, but the Tearing Skill.
This time, Su Yu's purpose was much clearer than last time.
At this moment, the feeling is much more intuitive.
A force appeared out of nowhere in his body. This was the power of the transformation of essence and blood, which was similar to vital energy, but closer to the essential power of human beings.
This force also circulated around the acupoints and quickly began to condense, and Su Yu's right hand quickly swelled up.
Su Yu did not explode, but kept experiencing that feeling silently.
He could bear the pain in his arm.
He was experiencing the feeling of the unity of vital energy and feeling the mystery of the circulation of vital energy.
One minute, two minutes...
Su Yu was slow to explode, and at this moment his right hand was noticeably swollen.
His physical body was not strong enough, but this was the explosive force of the seventh level of strength. The power condensed from his essence and blood was so powerful that it vaguely felt like his arm was being torn apart.
Su Yu has been observing, experimenting on himself, and studying himself, which is also what many civilization teachers are doing.
If Liu Wenyan and Bai Feng saw this scene, and saw Su Yu not changing his expression while letting his arm swell to the extreme, they would probably curse him while also praising him, saying that Su Yu's seeking spirit had already reached the state of a civilized master.
Seeking…
There are too many unknowns in the universe, and countless brilliant civilizations have gathered here. Although the human race is strong, it cannot dominate the universe. Only by searching up and down, and making every effort to explore and pursue, can the human race rise faster.
Countless civilization masters served as pioneers, trying new techniques, improving the techniques of all races, swallowing different natural treasures, forcibly transforming their bodies to cater to the techniques and secrets of different races... Generation after generation of civilization masters, many of them died in the laboratory.
However, their achievements were extraordinary. The human race rose rapidly and became powerful after the Anping period, which was largely related to the civilization masters.
The realm of inquiry is the holy land of civilized teachers.
It is called seeking, and what we are exploring is the unknown.
Today, Su Yu didn't know the existence of this place, and he didn't think much about it. He just wanted to figure out how to get started with the Thunder Yuan Knife.
However, a warrior at the eighth level of Kaiyuan used energy far beyond his capacity to practice martial arts just to observe the secret of the circulation of vital energy. This is the spirit of inquiry, and of course, there is also the fearless recklessness of the ignorant.
…
After five minutes, the power faded.
At this time, Su Yu's right hand was so swollen that it looked like a pig's trotter.
Su Yu gritted his teeth. It was definitely painful, but the pain couldn't cover up his joy. He felt like he had found a clue.
"I was careless."
"To unify the vital energy, not only the acupoints need to cooperate, but also the body itself needs to cooperate, including the meridians, muscles, etc."
"I have always regarded the acupoints as the root, but in fact... it is a mistake!"
"The essence of the acupoints is to strengthen the body."
“The acupoint is the engine, but it is not the only one.”
At this moment, Su Yu had some profound understanding.
Acupoints are used to absorb vital energy, which are the engine of a car. Vital energy is the oil, but the body is the car itself, the wheels and the steering wheel.
He only knows how to burn oil but cannot control the direction. This has nothing to do with acupoints, but is mainly due to the poor coordination of the body.
"I didn't do a good job as a driver. In fact, all the hardware is there. I can't gather the energy to inject it into the blade because I, as a driver, don't know how to drive..."
Su Yu understood, and felt such a satisfying pleasure that he even forgot the pain in his right hand.
The teachers actually said these words.
But without experience, talking about it on paper is just empty talk.
How many hours does it take to drain and fill a swimming pool? If you don't try it yourself, even if you try it a hundred times, the memory will not be as fresh as doing it once.
Currently, provided that you have a swimming pool at home and are not afraid of getting beaten, you can try it yourself.
These messy thoughts flashed through his mind, and Su Yu couldn't wait to try the Thunder Yuan Knife again, but only then did he feel the pain in his arm.
"It doesn't work today, I'll try again tomorrow. Anyway, I've already mastered the introductory method, and the next step is just practice."
Su Yu was happy, not only because he had mastered the method, but also because he had developed another function for the atlas.
From a purely theoretical point of view, at this moment the atlas can only absorb vital energy and unleash martial arts.
He developed the ability to explode into martial arts, the secret of the circulation of vital energy.
It even includes some secrets of the acupoints that the Iron-Winged Bird clan may use when unleashing their skills.
"This is an iron-winged bird. It is too different from the human body, so it is not very obvious. What if it is a divine or demonic technique?"
"Then wouldn't it be possible for me to... see more things?"
…
Su Yu went home to read, waiting for the practice the next day.
At this moment, it is already June 8th.
There are still 17 days left until the higher education institution assessment.
At the same time.
Daxia civilization school.
In an extremely huge hall.
Wan Tiansheng called a meeting of the academy's top leaders. At this moment, Wan Tiansheng slowly said, "Palace Master Xia is in seclusion, so Lord Xiahou will temporarily take over the position of Palace Master! Everyone should know what happened in the ceremony this morning... I suggest that Lord Xiahou withdraw his troops. On the battlefield of the heavens, the Dragon Guards will withdraw to the Great Xia Palace immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, an octogenarian stood up and angrily shouted, "Wan Tiansheng, you and Lord Xiahou are in cahoots with each other! The Great Xia Palace has been fighting in the heavens for many years, and has never withdrawn its troops in the middle of a battle!"
"You are traitors to the human race and to the Great Xia Prefecture. You must be executed according to the law!"
Wan Tiansheng was not angry, and said calmly: "If you say so, then the people in the Great Zhou Prefecture and the Daming Prefecture are all traitors! Those who forget war will be in danger, and those who love war will perish!"
"How can they be confused?"
The old man shouted angrily, "Warrior? If the human race doesn't fight, the human realm will be the next battlefield in the heavens! If the Great Xia Prefecture doesn't fight, the Great Zhou Prefecture doesn't fight, and all the prefectures stop fighting, how can the human realm exist?"
"Wan Tiansheng, you are a sinner!"
Wan Tiansheng glanced down and saw many people showing resentment. At the ceremony, he suggested withdrawing the troops and letting the Tianyi clan buy their lives with resources, which made many people dissatisfied with him.
Wan Tiansheng sighed in his heart, but he was used to it.
Those who love war will perish!
Many people say this, but only a few truly understand it.
Is Daxia Prefecture powerful
Very powerful!
However, the Great Xia Prefecture had been at war for years, and its expenditures were not enough to cover its income. Every battle was won with very little gain, and it was simply not feasible to use war to support war.
The Daxia Prefecture has to support the Dragon Guards, the Demon Suppression Army, the Daxia Prefecture Army, and countless pensions... Throughout the Daxia Prefecture, everyone is proud to die in battle!
But dying in battle... they lost their lives, and Daxia Prefecture lost money.
Too many!
Over the years, nearly one million people have died in battle. This is just the Great Xia Prefecture. Xia Longwu is a man who cares for his soldiers, so the pensions for the dead are extremely generous, not to mention hundreds of thousands of Anping coins per person, there are also various other benefits.
As a result, everyone in Daxia Prefecture was not afraid of death.
Many elderly people even fought for a way out for their descendants by being extremely fierce on the battlefield and not afraid of death at all.
But do these people understand that the Great Xia Prefecture is already using the foundation left over from the Great Xia King's time
Xia Longwu has been in office for so many years and has already spent all the family's previous assets!
Many thoughts flashed through Wan Tiansheng's mind, but he soon regained his composure. "Sinner? You have no right to judge whether I, Wan Tiansheng, am guilty or not! Besides... I am just suggesting something. This is Lord Xiahou's order."
"Lord Xiahou..."
The octogenarian's face changed, and he started to curse: "He is just a pig! What else can he do besides making money?"
“Cough cough cough!”
Wan Tiansheng interrupted: "Mr. Yun, don't be so indirect when you speak..."
"I didn't mean to criticize someone indirectly. I just cursed him directly!"
The old man angrily said, "Even if he was in front of me, I would still point my finger at his nose and scold him!"
"The Xia Company has monopolized the cultivation resources of the entire Great Xia Prefecture. Isn't that enough to make money? That Xia Zhutou wants to continue making money. He has made it to the battlefield of the heavens. He should be beheaded and sacrificed to the heavens!"
The originally serious meeting suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Below, a young generation spoke up: "Master, Lord Xia is in charge of the Great Xia Mansion, so he won't exploit our wages and bonuses, right?"
"Mr. Fu, why don't you give Lord Xia a suggestion and ask him to sell Xia's business at a lower price? Damingfu's products are much cheaper than ours."
"Master, how long will Lord Xiahou be the master of the house? A few years ago, the master of the house went to the battlefield of the heavens, and Lord Xiahou was the master of the house. As a result... You have to pay to use the toilet in the school. It's too much of a rip-off!"
"… "
Everyone's attention has turned to Lord Xiahou.
Wan Tiansheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good thing. Lord Xiahou... was of course used to take the blame.
Of course, Lord Xiahou is not as bad as these people say.
The Great Xia Mansion was spending more than it earned, but Xia Longwu didn't care and was only responsible for training and fighting. Without Lord Xia Hou making money, the treasury would have been empty five years ago.
In Wan Tiansheng's opinion, Lord Xia Hou is more suitable to be the lord of the palace than Xia Longwu.
Lord Xiahou has made great contributions to the survival of the Great Xia Palace. Of course, outsiders cannot understand these things.
They only knew that Lord Xiahou was a traitor.
If his father hadn't been the King of Daxia, he would have been beaten to death in the alley.
Ignoring these people, Wan Tiansheng said a few perfunctorily and quickly said, "Since Lord Xiahou is temporarily acting as the Palace Master, this year will be difficult for everyone. Lord Xiahou talked to me before, the Palace Treasury is out of money, so we need to cut back!"
"So, we will enroll 500 fewer new students this year."
“In addition, some institutions within the university must be separated.”
"Another key point is that those who are over 50 and have no will to manifest themselves and are no longer teaching in the university will no longer receive university subsidies from now on."
The last sentence instantly ignited the entire venue!
“No!”
"How can this be possible!"
"Director, you are betraying the entire academy!" an old man roared, "In the Daxia Civilization Academy, there are 20,000 students over the age of 50 who have not yet manifested. There are only about 500 of them teaching. The remaining 20,000 people have their allowances cancelled. How are they going to live?"
There was a hint of coldness in Wan Tiansheng's eyes, and he looked bloated!
Over the past 50 years, the strength of the Great Xia Civilization Academy has greatly improved, and it is now filled with powerful people.
But it must be said that internal problems also began to emerge, and there were many of them.
A group of old students who have not materialized are about to bring down the school.
He knew that this plan would be opposed. With tens of thousands of people, each receiving an annual allowance of more than 100,000, the allowance alone would amount to billions of dollars in expenses!
Of course, these old students are closely related to the institution.
Some of their descendants are in schools, and some of their classmates and teachers are in schools. Once the subsidies are cancelled, it will inevitably cause a major earthquake.
You can save money, that's a must.
He could no longer tolerate it. When Xia Longwu was here, his plans were delayed because Xia Longwu felt that these people had also contributed a lot to the Great Xia Mansion and he could not let their hearts down.
It's really chilling... something bad will happen sooner or later.
This is the case for an institution of the Great Xia Civilization. For the entire Great Xia Prefecture, these expenses alone are astronomical figures!
No matter how much money Lord Xiahou makes, he can't make up for the deficit.
The pain of labor is inevitable. Even if they don’t understand it today, I hope they will understand it in the future.
They were all stakeholders, but Wan Tiansheng was not shaken by their words. Although his voice was calm, it overwhelmed everyone else. He said lightly: "This is the decree of the Great Xia Palace. If you are dissatisfied, go and argue with Lord Xiahou!"
"In addition, research funding will be cut by 30%! Some useless research can be abandoned directly. The Review Institute must take responsibility and not launch every research project, which costs a lot of money but yields no results!"
"What research on the Fire Pig Clan? How many years have they been researching? They are a cannon fodder race in the battlefields of the universe. If not tens of millions, at least millions have been killed. What else is worth researching?"
Wan Tiansheng angrily scolded: "Nonsense! With all this energy, can't you study something else?"
"Also, if you're doing research, then focus on it! Don't think about those messy things!"
After saying that, Wan Tiansheng did not wait for anyone to refute him and dropped another bombshell, "I've thought about it and discussed it with Lord Xiahou. The Ten Thousand Races Training Institute... will be reopened!"
Once these words were spoken, they completely overshadowed all the news.
At this moment, even the few strong men who had been silent said in a cold voice: "The Ten Thousand Races Training Institute? Lord Palace, this plan was rejected many years ago! The Palace Master personally went to the battlefield of the heavens and destroyed several races. Now we have to restart it. Do you really think that the Palace Master will not come out of retreat?"
Wan Tiansheng said calmly: "Everyone, if the Wanzu Sect does not accept the Wanzu Sect, does it mean that there are no spies in the school?"
"That's different!"
Someone shouted coldly: "The Ten Thousand Races Sect is the Ten Thousand Races Sect, after all, it is not the Ten Thousand Races itself! What is the point of accepting the Ten Thousand Races?"
"Get the money."
Wan Tiansheng said bluntly: “Instead of asking them to send spies from the Ten Thousand Races Sect, it is better to accept them directly. First, there are people watching us under our noses.
Second, high admission fees can be charged.
Third, it's not just money, there are also a lot of resources, even some top-secret skills. If they want to enter the Daxia civilization's school, they will have to pay a huge price.
As a result, their support for the Ten Thousand Races Religion will be reduced, their resources will be reduced, and these resources will fall into our hands.
Fourth, show our sincerity. As long as we are not resolute enemies, we can form an alliance!
Our human race is one of the top ten most powerful races in the universe. Not everyone can take a bite of us. Cooperation may be more beneficial than hostility!"
Wan Tiansheng said, "It's not just us. The Gods and Demons actually have such measures. They are also bribing those small tribes. They even open some unimportant secret realms and holy places to the small tribes, train them, strengthen them, and let them become the vanguards in the war with the human race!"
"There are even strong people from small tribes in the army of gods and demons. In every battle, the humans who die are definitely humans, while the gods and demons who die may be people from small tribes. Their own strength has not been damaged at all."
"Since the Myriad Races can plant spies in the human race and train the Myriad Races, we actually have a chance too. For example, we can bribe, brainwash, coerce and bribe these Myriad Races students who are enrolled... There is always a way to bribe them!"
"After several years, these people may become the vanguard of our human race's counterattack!"
Wan Tiansheng said in a deep voice: "I admit that there are disadvantages, and there are quite a few. However, you can think about it, are the disadvantages greater than the advantages, or are the advantages greater than the disadvantages! As long as it is properly supervised, it is actually better than before. At least you don't have to worry anymore, the people around you are members of the Ten Thousand Races Sect!"
"If the people of the Ten Thousand Races come in person, the number of followers of the Ten Thousand Races Church will be greatly reduced. This way, the previous incidents will not happen again. A lot of resources were spent, but in the end, strong people were cultivated for the Ten Thousand Races Church!"
"… "
Wan Tiansheng has been in charge of the academy for so many years and still has many supporters, and people began to talk about it.
In the corner, Bai Feng was yawning, feeling a little bored.
This matter has nothing to do with him, and it is not his turn to express his opinion. He is just a small assistant researcher and has no say in this.
Just when he was bored, Liu Hong said with a smile: "Bai Feng, the number of students has been reduced this year. Will your candidate be eliminated? Also, your uncle seems to be among those whose allowances have been reduced..."
Bai Feng looked at him like a fool, "My uncle has materialized, don't you know? Sorry, he is not among those who have been cut."
"Manifested?"
Liu Hong really didn't know that this matter was not a big deal in the eyes of the Civilized Academy. In reality, it was just a leap into the air.
Liu Hong didn't continue talking about this, and smiled and said: "The research funding has been cut, and the university is now showing a trend of reform. I'm afraid the assessment of people like us will be stricter in the future..."
"Just say what you want to say. I don't want to guess. It's too tiring."
Liu Hong took a deep breath, "Master Hong's research institute is open to me. I will inject funds and we can do research together. I can even provide some resources that you don't have, so we can share the results together! Bai Feng, if we continue to fight, the final result will only be a lose-lose situation!"
Liu Hong said seriously: "Mr. Hong's research institute has not reported any results for many years. If this continues, it will be banned as long as someone pushes it!"
"Get lost!"
Bai Feng was not polite at all. He cursed and thought for a moment before saying, "It's not impossible..."
Liu Hong was overjoyed!
"First, send me a few corpses of gods and demons from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and we can talk in detail."
Bai Feng said seriously: "Really, since you want to join us, you have to pay a little. After all, we have been researching for so many years and are about to achieve results."
"I… "
Liu Hong cursed inwardly, thinking I was a fool.
Bai Feng sneered, if you are not me, then who is I
Bai Feng ignored him and glanced at Wan Tiansheng above him. He thought to himself that the academy might have been a little turbulent recently, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
The Palace Master is in seclusion, and Lord Xiahou is temporarily taking over the position of Palace Master... Why do I feel like this is a sign of big changes
"No trouble, right?"
Bai Feng sighed in his heart, hoping that things would go smoothly. And as for that kid Su Yu... he didn't know how his training had been going recently.
