Chapter 476: Fear Not, Grandteacher Will Cover This Up! (3)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"How is Su Yu comparable to me? I am already a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator. When I return home, I can get some divine or devil blood essence to push my body straight to the third or fourth stage during my advancement into the Skysoar Realm. How can he catch up to that speed?"

Xia Huyou grinned smugly. This was the benefit of being the descendant of an Invincible. What could anyone do about it?

Others would need to spend their own money for their cultivation resources. Meanwhile, he only needed to get what he wanted from home, directly reaching the third or fourth stage during his advancement.

At that time, his physical cultivation would be at the third or fourth-stage Skysoar Realm while his willpower cultivation would be at the eighth or even the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm. Hehehe...how could Su Yu compete against him?

He could even get a top-tier profound-grade weapon right after entering the Skysoar Realm. He would surpass Su Yu with the power of money!

"Idiot."

A disdainful voice rang out, interrupting Xia Huyou who was laughing to himself.

Holy shit!

Did Wu Jia just sneer at him?

He looked at Wu Jia gloomily and asked, "Do you know what your junior brother's real strength is?"

Wu Jia looked at him in astonishment, "You don't know that? He's unrivaled below the Skysoar Realm."

"..."

That was actually right.

Forget it. Xia Huyou decided to stop wasting time and resumed his cultivation.

This was a decent grotto.

His family needed to get something like this as well. Their existing grotto wasn't as good. He told himself that the next time his father, Xia Longwu, decided to cut someone down, he should cut down someone with a character that could turn into a similarly useful grotto. It would be even better if he could cut down an Invincible and get their family an Invincible grotto.

This was only a Sunmoon grotto. It was not good enough since it was only useful up to the Cloudbreach Realm. If they could cut down an Invincible for a grotto, that grotto would probably be good enough for even those at the Mountainsea Realm.

...

While Xia Huyou was busy indulging himself in all those random thoughts, Su Yu was running around the grotto.

Absorb.

And absorb.

All the single character faction members were greatly frustrated.

Zhan Hai, who was near the Skysoar Realm, was greatly frustrated as well.

Damn it! Just what was happening here?

Was there something wrong with this grotto?

Why was the supply of willpower so inconsistent? There were a few instances where they nearly suffered from cultivation deviation because of the abrupt cut in the supply of willpower.

Su Yu made sure to pay the beloved daughter of Director Ji some of his attention as well. He had emptied the willpower around her several times.

Since everyone else had received his love, he had to be fair and let her experience the same love as well, right? Sure, she was an honest girl, so she would probably demand for compensation from Zhou Mingren after leaving the grotto.

Ji Xiaomeng was a very straightforward person. After the willpower around her was emptied a few times, she decided to stop cultivating and ran off. Where was she going? She was looking for Zhou Pingsheng.

The strongest person in the grotto was Zhou Pingsheng.

Thus, she naturally had to get the help of Uncle Zhou to gather some willpower and stand guard for her while she was cultivating. Uncle Zhou was such a kind person. He would definitely agree to help.

Ji Xiaomeng was the sole individual who did not feel troubled over Su Yu's shenanigans. She decided to seek help immediately. If Zhou Pingsheng refused to help her...well, he should start preparing for an early retirement.

Xia Yuwen was also an option. For her, this was not an issue. She would definitely be able to get someone to help her so she was not worried at all.

...

None of that mattered for Su Yu. he continued roaming the grotto and emptying random areas of willpower.

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night had passed.

Over a period of 24 hours, he had pushed his total opened apertures to 71. He was one aperture away from fully opening all the apertures of his second cultural art.

"I'll try to open all the apertures of the third art by the end of the third day."

This was the goal Su Yu had set for himself. That was totally not a lofty goal. He only wanted to open 108 apertures. All his arts would require him to open 180 apertures. And he was only aiming to open 108 apertures for now. That was not ambitious at all.

He had entered the grotto with 44 apertures. Thus, he only needed to open 64 apertures while in the grotto. That translated to about 20 apertures per day. Easy. And thus, Su Yu worked even harder to meet this goal of his.

...

Outside the grotto.

It had been one full day.

Elder Sun and company had long reached their limits. At this point, Zhou Mingren was finally reaching his limit. He looked at Hong Tan.

Not far away, Hong Tan was smiling happily. Looking at the newly arrived elders, he said, "I need a few of you to help me with this. We only need to keep this up for a day."

Having said that, he stepped forth and received control over the grotto.

Zhou Mingren said nothing. Go ahead, Hong Tan. Let's see if he would enjoy this. There was a troublemaker constantly emptying random areas of willpower in the grotto. This fellow had been thinking that this was an easy job. Let's see how this person would react after experiencing it for himself.

With that, Zhou Mingren and his people retreated, leaving the grotto in the hands of Hong Tan and a few other elders. The moment Hong Tan took over, his willpower shook.

Fuck!

Zhou Pingsheng?

Was this fellow deliberately giving him trouble right after he took over as a show of dominance?

What a bastard.

Right after Hong Tan took over the grotto, a spot in the grotto was emptied of willpower.

Hong Tan held nothing back and instantly reduced the willpower density of several spots. These spots had enjoyed a comparatively higher density of willpower when Zhou Mingren and company were running the grotto.

Why should Hong Tan let those fellows benefit when he was in charge? Instead, he created a new spot with high willpower density before using his willpower to guide Su Yu over.

Pitiful kid. He must have spent an entire day not cultivating.

How pitiful.

Fear not. His grandteacher had finally arrived to save the day! His backer was here!

Hong Tan fearfully did what he wanted. With his willpower, he covered the senses of the other elders to prevent them from sensing what he was doing. He grinned happily. There was no way these people would be able to sense anything.

He was a pseudo Sunmoon. Unless Zhou Mingren returned to take control of the grotto alongside him, none of these elders would be able to sense what he was doing.

The most they could sense was the fact that he had dispersed the willpower at several spots. But that was only natural. It would be weirder if he allowed those places to enjoy a large concentration of willpower.

...

At the same time.

Inside the grotto.

Su Yu's heart thumped as he looked at the misty sky above him.

A line had appeared in the sky.

The line extended far into the distance.

That reminded Su Yu of something. It was the second day. Had his grandteacher taken over? He did not hesitate and followed the guidance of the line. Was his grandteacher finally here to give him special treatment?

Of course, Su Yu was not the only person who had noticed the line in the sky. The two Cloudbreach cultivators, Hu Wensheng and Xia Yuwen, had also noticed the line after the willpower density around them had dropped to normal. They immediately followed the line. Liu Hong's group was also doing the same.

By the time Su Yu arrived at his destination, he saw that some other people were already there. Zhou Pingsheng was there. This was actually the first time he saw Su Yu in the grotto. He had an unfriendly look in his eyes, but he said nothing.

Ahead of them, a mountain had appeared. That was a mountain formed of willpower. The Skysoars did not hesitate to rush toward the mountain. Su Yu did the same. As he approached the mountain, his eyes flickered as he took out a small saber. The moment the saber appeared, a tunnel opened up ahead of him.

"It's indeed Grandteacher!"

Su Yu was overjoyed. He followed his saber and before long, he was separated from everyone else.

He ignored them and continued ahead. By the time the saber stopped, he looked around and was overjoyed. His surroundings were filled with thick willpower. And the area seemed completely blocked off from the outside, making entry impossible for anyone else.

His grandteacher was truly amazing!

With this, even if others knew that this place had a lot of willpower, they could only wait outside and absorb a little bit of the dispersed willpower. Meanwhile, he could happily absorb inside the mountain. He held nothing back and activated all 71 of his apertures, instantly absorbing a large amount of willpower.

...

At the same time.

While Hong Tan was busy feeling sad for his pitiful little grandstudent, his heart jolted.

Holy shit!

Did he lead the wrong person inside the mountain?

Holy shit!

Who the fuck was that?

What was that absorption speed?

Please stop messing around with him. Wasn't this the same fellow from earlier? This was the same person who he had assumed to be Zhou Pingsheng. The way the willpower had been instantly emptied was an exact repeat of what had happened earlier.

But...he had used his light of Sunmoon to borrow the power of the first principal's character. That special mountain was the territory of the multiple character faction.

After all, this was a grotto left behind by the first principal. Thus, the multiple character faction knew more about it than the others.

He was certain that only those from the multiple character faction could enter. Had Zhou Pingsheng joined the multiple character faction? Or perhaps...there had been a misunderstanding. Su Yu was the bastard who had been creating all those troubles.

Hong Tan was greatly shocked. What should he do?

Was it Su Yu?

WIth his powerful cultivation, Hong Tan covered everything, not giving even Zhou Mingren the chance to pry into what was happening in the grotto while feigning a calm expression.

Fear not! That was no problem at all. Even if Su Yu was the culprit, his awesome grandteacher was here. There was nothing to fear! His grandteacher would back him up!

But while doing all that, Hong Tan continued grumbling inwardly. Was this really Su Yu? Was this really the kid?

Wasn't this absorption speed a tad bit too crazy? Wasn't this supposed to be the absorption speed of a Cloudbreach?

The immense absorptive force would erupt in bursts.

Every 15 minutes or so, it would happen, causing Hong Tan to shake. He continued cursing inwardly, asking himself if this was really Su Yu. That was way too fast. Was the kid not afraid of bursting apart from absorbing too much?

...

Meanwhile, Su Yu was having the time of his life.

His grandteacher was such a great person.

That old man had actually created this special zone for him to absorb as much willpower as he wanted. This felt amazing! He no longer needed to be afraid of getting discovered by others. He was able to freely absorb the willpower with all his apertures.

Not all the absorbed willpower could be used to open new apertures as some would go to waste. But Su Yu made good use of even the leftover by powering his hammer with the leftover willpower and hammering his sea of willpower, tempering his apertures, and purifying his willpower.

He would have an endless supply of willpower here so what was there to fear? After an hour, he finally opened the final aperture of his second art with a rumble. The final aperture had been rather difficult to open.

Su Yu did not even pause as he continued absorbing willpower to open the apertures of his third art. This time, his absorption speed was even faster than before. Thanks to his increased speed and the endless supply of willpower, he was able to open his 73rd aperture in less than half an hour.

74...75...

One aperture after another opened.

Eventually, Hong Tan grew numb.

He was starting to wonder if he could last one full day.

Holy shit!

He was a pseudo Sunmoon from the multiple character faction! He was a lot stronger than Zhou Mingren! Even someone like him was having a hard time lasting a day.

Was that crazy fellow really Su Yu?

He was using at least 50 percent of the willpower in the grotto to supply Su Yu alone. The single character faction had paid a large price to open the grotto. If this fellow was really Su Yu, then he was single-handedly milking the single character faction dry.

"It shouldn't be him, right?"

Hong Tan didn't even know if he wanted that person to be Su Yu anymore. The longer it went, the faster that person's absorption speed became. At this point, that absorption speed had reached the level of a ninth-stage Cloudbreach while it was only at the level of a sixth or seventh-stage Cloudbreach before.

If this continued, would that person reach the level of a Mountainsea? This grotto was not meant to sustain the cultivation of a Mountainsea!

"Holy shit! He wouldn't cause the grotto to collapse with his excessive absorption, right?"

Hong Tan was starting to panic. There were a lot of people in the grotto. Kid, if that was really him, he needed to calm down. If the kid really caused the grotto to collapse, those people would kill him!

Hong Tan even started to wonder if he should just grab the kid and flee. This was too terrifying.

He would cover for the kid. He would cover everything for the kid. He would not allow anyone to see or sense anything. Look at how relaxed he was! Su Yu was definitely not the culprit. It was Zhou Pingsheng. Yes. It was Zhou Pingsheng!

...

Meanwhile, nobody realized that the grotto was being pushed to its limits.

As a large amount of the grotto's willpower had gathered in the vicinity of the mountain, they were all cultivating near the mountain. Looking at the nearby Hu Wensheng, Zhou Pingsheng sneered inwardly.

Sure enough!

When he ignored this fellow earlier, the incidents had not stopped. The moment they were all here together, the incidents had stopped.

The students had stopped roaring in anger.

The people had stopped screaming in frustration.

Areas devoid of willpower had stopped appearing.

Hu Wensheng...hmph!
