Chapter 405: Like Teacher, Like Student (2)

Bai Feng said, "Teacher, this is a talent discovered by me! Even his first Divine Character came from me!"

"You..." Hong Tan asked in astonishment, "When did that happen?"

"During my previous visit to Nanyuan..."

Hong Tan thought about it and asked, "Half a year ago?"

Yes, Bai Feng went to Nanyuan in April. But...that was only half a year ago!

"Yeah."

Hong Tan suddenly thought of something. He looked at Su Yu before looking at Bai Feng again. An odd look appeared in his eyes as he said, "You're telling me that half a year ago, he wasn't at the Great Strength Realm and the Mental Tempering Stage. He didn't even have a Divine Character..."

"Yeah," Bai Feng said. Abruptly, he thought of something and hurriedly said with alarm, "No, no, I was just kidding. He was already a seventh-stage Great Strength cultivator at the Mental Tempering Stage when he first joined the academy."

"Shut up!"

Hong Tan pulled out a cane out of nowhere and swung it at Bai Feng's head.

"You unfilial disciple! Bastard! I was wondering why you started instigating me to leave after returning from Nanyuan. So you were afraid that I would steal your student? I'll beat you to death!"

"..."

Pa! Pa! Pa!

A series of strikes landed and Bai Feng wailed miserably, "Teacher, that is absolutely not true! I'm an injured person! I'm dying! Why are you hitting me?"

"I should just beat you to death and be done with you."

"Teacher, my prestige is very important as well! You can't beat me up when my student is still here!"

"You're already a cripple. Why do you still need a student? Your student can follow me from now on." This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"..."

Beside them, Su Yu had an odd look in his eyes. He looked at Wu Jia and Chen Yong doubtfully.

Wu Jia whispered, "This is how Grandteacher is. Don't mind him. He is actually very nice. He's only...so old that he's starting to act childish."

Wu Jia softly said, "Grandteacher, Teacher doesn't have the resources to break through. Why don't you rob some resources for my teacher..."

Hong Tan laughed, "So you have learned to protect your teacher? Resources? What resources does he need? He has been a ninth-stage Cloudbreach for so many years. He no longer needs any resources. He—"

"Cough."

Chen Yong interrupted with a cough and said, "Teacher, I'll try to break through as fast as I can."

"You..." Hong Tan laughed, "Fine. Just do what you think is right."

Beside them, Su Yu kept his mouth shut. But he did find those words interesting. So this martial uncle of his was already capable of breakthrough long ago? When Su Yu asked about this previously, his martial uncle had not said too much about it.

Was his martial uncle suppressing the breakthrough to fuse more apertures before advancing?

After giving it some thought, Su Yu said, "Grandteacher, this time, we killed two of their Mountainseas. Grand Martial Uncle Xia Yunji and the others have also showcased the combat strength of Mountainseas. Would the single character faction still dare to make things difficult for us after this? Are they going to keep forcing our hands? Grandteacher, you're also someone on the cusp of becoming a Sunmoon. Are they tired of living?"

Hong Tan smiled, "In terms of combat prowess, we are not weak. But...the single character faction has flourished for so many years. They have numbers on their side. Do you think they will willingly give up on the privileges they currently enjoy?"

"They probably won't dare to use force against us anymore. But in the academy, force is not the answer for everything. They have always been suppressing us while still operating within the boundaries of the academy rules. Zhou Mingren is not an ambitious person. His biggest goal is probably to dominate the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.

"But he is still someone from the branch family of the Zhou Family. He has definitely received the aid of the Zhou Family to reach his current height. And he needs to repay them. Thus, he won't stop the suppression of us. During the battle, he wanted to use me to push himself into the Sunmoon Realm. Clearly, he has failed. But the main reason for the failure is the repelling force."

If Zhou Mingren hadn't failed, he would have advanced during the battle. If Zhou Mingren was able to turn back time and return to the time before that incident 50 years ago, he would definitely be able to break through after taking all those steps.

In fact, pseudo Sunmoons did not exist back then. The moment one had the ability to breakthrough, one would make a clean advancement. Before reaching that level, one would be stuck in the Mountainsea Realm. One would not be stuck halfway through a breakthrough.

Su Yu said, "So they will continue suppressing us?"

"Definitely." Hong Tan smiled, "We'll play the game with them. Don't learn from your teacher and do something stupid like fighting Xia Yuwen. Just ignore them. What can they do? Xia Yuwen is already a Cloudbreach. Would he really dare to touch you if you ignore him? I'm not dead yet."

Hong Tan was clearly still unhappy with Bai Feng's decision. He had crippled himself with that stupid decision. If Bai Feng had not accepted the challenge, Xia Yuwen wouldn't be able to do anything against him. Not all experts of the multiple character faction were dead. At the very least, Hong Tan was still around.

Bai Feng disagreed, "I'm not scared of him. I've been wanting to fight him for a long time. By the way..."

He paused shortly before saying, "Jia, I have a book upstairs with some of my research results. Its title is Thirty-six Fusion Techniques. Can you get it for me?"

Wu Jia had a doubtful look on her face. Why her? Wasn't her junior brother there? But fine, since her martial uncle had already made the request, she didn't bother arguing. With a nod, she went upstairs.

After Wu Jia left, Bai Feng hurriedly said, "Teacher, check our surroundings. Previously, Wan Tiansheng actually managed to affect Su Yu's willpower while he was inside the research center."

Hong Tan frowned slightly before realization dawned on him. He scanned his surroundings before shaking his head, "It's fine. With me here, that fellow won't dare to eavesdrop on us. That fellow must have reached the Sunmoon Realm long ago. He has only been pretending to be a Mountainsea."

"I knew it!" Realization hit Bai Feng.
