Chapter 208: Prison Zone (2)

Beads of water started appearing in the empty cage. Slowly, the water took a humanoid form. A humanoid outline made of water appeared. Next, the face of the creature became clear as well.

A weak voice said, "Bai Feng, give me some source qi liquid. I'm going to die soon..."

Bai Feng ignored the creature and said, "That's #1, a fellow from the water race. Of the myriad races, there are five unique races representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These fellows were born from nature itself. There aren't a lot of them, and we generally classify them as a single race instead of five different races. They are colloquially known as the five elemental race.

"You didn't notice him earlier because he had transformed into a puddle of water. He's actually very strong. He's at the seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm. It took a lot of effort from your grandteacher to catch this fellow.

"Don't look down on this fellow. Previously in the Allheaven Battlefield, he pretended to be a lake and swallowed an entire army of 10,000 soldiers in one go. It's the army of a minor race, but even the Cloudbreach Realm commander of the army was swallowed up just like that.

"You don't need to feed him that much. A drop of source qi liquid per month will do. He'll be very troublesome if he manages to recover his strength."

"I understand."

Su Yu nodded. He was very shocked to learn that there was even a seventh-stage Cloudbreach among the prisoners. Of the six living creatures, even the weakest was at the seventh-stage Skysoar Realm. This prison zone was truly quite scary.

Su Yu then looked at the dark corridor at the end of the room before looking at Bai Feng curiously.

Bai Feng also looked at the dark corridor before saying, "Ignore that place. Not even I will go approach that place. There are three rooms there, keeping three experts imprisoned. I don't know if they are still alive or not. Only your grandteacher knows.

"They are probably Mountainsea experts. I don't know too much about them. Your grandteacher is an eighth-stage Mountainsea cultivator so it's possible for him to capture a few early Mountainsea cultivators back. But I'm too weak so I won't go there and throw my lives away. Mountainsea experts are too strong. You never know what tricks they have left under their sleeves."

Su Yu looked at Bai Feng with shock.

Mountainsea Realm? There were even Mountainsea experts locked here? His grandteacher suddenly felt a lot more ferocious than before.

When Bai Feng saw Su Yu's shocked expression, he smiled smugly and said, "Your grandteacher is an eighth-stage Mountainsea. It might seem like there are a lot of Mountainsea experts in the academy with so many elders around, but in truth, those elders have been produced over several hundred years. The Great Xia Cultural Research Academy is one of the strongest academies among the entire human race. And the human race is one of the top 10 races. As one of the strongest races among the top 10 races, our academy is in truth comparable in strength with some of the medium-sized races. An eighth-stage Mountainsea is strong enough to become the sole ruler of some of the weaker races.

"Therefore, don't think that your grandteacher is weak just because he's only at the eighth-stage Mountainsea Realm. Someone like him is strong enough to dominate a region even in the Allheaven Battlefield. And since he's from the multiple character faction, he is definitely stronger than the ordinary ninth-stage Mountainsea experts."

Su Yu hurriedly nodded. He hadn't said anything about his grandteacher at all. His teacher had been the one to say all that.

"Teacher, how do I feed them?"

"Just throw the food inside." Bai Feng explained, "You can just throw the source qi liquid inside. I'll teach you how to control the talismans outside these cages. Remember what I teach you. Never ever deactivate the talismans. The cages might be firm, but you still need to be very careful when dealing with these fellows."

Su Yu was quite worried. These were all experts yet his teacher wanted him to be the one feeding them. Would he end up as their food one day?

Bai Feng did not care about Su Yu's worries. He continued, "I will give you the source qi liquid later. Don't get greedy and take the liquid for yourself. If you really end up starving these fellows to death, you'll be in trouble."

Su Yu hurriedly nodded. Was he that kind of person? How would he do something like that? The thought never even crossed his mind. Then again, if he took a little out of these fellow's food, they wouldn't really starve to death, right?

But he quickly erased that thought before it had the chance to blossom. He kept telling himself that he was not that kind of person. The filter room on the second floor was just as good as source qi liquid.

But source qi liquid could be brought everywhere while the filter room couldn't! And he only had three drops of source qi liquid left. Previously, he had used one drop on Chen Qi and another drop on himself.

That reminded him of something as he asked, "Teacher, what about my merit points?"

He had nearly forgotten about that! Damn it! Where were his 1,300 merit points?

When Bai Feng saw the anxious expression on Su Yu's face, he had the urge to roll his eyes. He said, "What is that reaction? Are you worried that your teacher would steal your merit points? Am I that kind of person? Why would I care about such a small number of merit points?

"They already sent the merit points over. I paid the academy 200 merit points as the fee to register your Skybreak Technique. As for the remaining 1,100 merit points, I wrote-cough, I mean I bought a Great Strength War God Art willpower text for you. It's worth 300 merit points. I'll transfer you the remaining 800 merit points later."

"..."

.

Su Yu looked at his teacher in shock.

His teacher had deducted 300 of his merit points to buy, no, to write him a Great Strength War God Art?

Yes, that willpower text was worth 300 merit points if purchased from the academy. But he had not intended to buy it! More importantly, that copy had been written by Bai Feng himself!

Meanwhile, Bai Feng was acting indifferent, as though he hadn't noticed Su Yu's reaction. He had used some blood essence to write that willpower text, so he needed to recoup his expenses. Sure, he had merely used some discarded blood essence that was going to be thrown away otherwise, but blood essence was still blood essence, right?

"Teacher..."

Su Yu's expression turned gloomy. Was his teacher really that broke? To the extent he was trying to skim off his own student?

The longer Su Yu looked at Bai Feng, the more awkward Bai Feng felt. He cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry. After your teacher completes his research, you will be the first to benefit from the result. I'll have you know that my research is incredible. I am going to create a super Divine Character that is super strong. With it, you can defeat a Skysoar in one move as a Great Strength."

"..."

Sure. Keep bluffing.

Su Yu was really speechless. He decided to pretend like he had really bought the willpower text from the academy. Although there was the option of joining a public class for five to ten merit points per class, that was something he had to do with a bunch of other people. It would be troublesome and he might even be stuck at the back of the crowd, making it harder for him to focus.

This willpower text would probably come in handy. After reaching the third-stage Great Strength Realm, he could feel his acupoint opening speed slowing down. But he was really unhappy with the price of 300 merit points. He felt really helpless.

Bai Feng coughed again and said, "Don't look at your teacher like this. Others might hold back when writing willpower texts. But as your teacher, will I hold back?"

"Teacher, I didn't say that the willpower text was written by you..."

Su Yu rolled his eyes. His teacher had exposed himself.

Bai Feng glared at his student awkwardly. He feigned indifference and said, "How about this? When you reach the Infinite Strength Realm, I'll write one to you for free."

That was a tempting offer to Su Yu. When Bai Feng saw that, he was relieved. It would be quite a while before Su Yu could reach the Infinite Strength Realm. Su Yu was still at the third-stage now. He would probably need a year to reach the Infinite Strength Realm, right? Or at least half a year?

Bai Feng was confident he could complete his research in half a year. At that time, money would no longer be an issue. At that time, they would be able to get all the resources they want.

Yes, no matter how fast Su Yu could grow, he would take at least half a year. Bai Feng peeked at Su Yu to observe his student's expression and rejoiced inwardly that his student was still quite easy to please.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was making his own plans. Over the past three days, he had not been cultivating much as he had been focused on reading. Thus, he had only opened one new acupoint. He still needed 71 new acupoints before he could reach the Infinite Strength Realm.

"With enough blood essence, I might be able to open an acupoint every two days. In that case, I would need five months. But if I can enter the grotto a few times, things can be very different."

Bai Feng had promised him a willpower text when he reached the Infinite Strength Realm. Since a Great Strength willpower text was worth 300 merit points, an Infinite Strength willpower text would probably be worth 400 or 500 merit points. Thus, he could consider this a high interest loan to his teacher.

In fact, not even high interest loans would be this profitable. And there was no denying that he would be getting a Great Strength War God Art willpower text for free as well.

"A normal copy of Great Strength War God Art is worth 100 merit points while the willpower text is worth 300 merit points. The regular Skybreak Technique is worth 200 merit points so its willpower text is probably worth 400 or 500 merit points..."

Su Yu discovered that it was really expensive for geniuses to cultivate. Just these cultivation methods, martial techniques, and willpower texts at the Great Strength Realm would cost him over 1,000 merit points. Then again, that was a path all geniuses would voluntarily walk.

After all, a regular version of the War God Art is free. Instead of buying the willpower text, one could instead choose to buy some suitable martial techniques to be cultivated alongside the cultivation method. By doing so, one wouldn't need to spend too much money during the Great Strength Realm.

It was only a matter of choice.

...

Bai Feng did not spend too much time with Su Yu. After teaching Su Yu the controls of the talismans, he escaped like his life depended on it.

Only Su Yu and the imprisoned creatures were left in the room.

The suanni had stopped roaring and was looking at Su Yu with his large eyes.

Su Yu had no idea what the fellows from the shadow and water races were doing. As for the single-horned bull, it seemed to be sleeping. The white raccoon was also ignoring him while the fire crow was acting like it was dead.

Silence descended.
