Chapter 429: The Final Member (1)

While walking, Su Yu was deep in thought.

Liu Hong...

What an interesting person.

Was Yang Sha and the others assigned to him because Liu Hong believed that he could win? Or was it simply for the sake of dragging him down?

At this moment, Su Yu was finally sure that neither the single or multiple character factions mattered to Liu Hong. He only cared about himself. As long as he could benefit from something, he wouldn't care about both factions.

"Single character faction...heh."

Su Yu snickered. There were actually quite a lot of people like Liu Hong in the single character faction. But that was also understandable. The bigger a faction was, the more trouble one would be able to find in it. That was normal.

Back when the multiple character faction was at the top, such internal struggles would probably happen frequently as well. They were only united now due to their small size. Internal politics would definitely start happening once they reached a certain size.

...

Wentan Research Center.

Su Yu had been away for a few days. He wondered if Bai Feng was still in the research center. But when he saw the dusty living area, he concluded that Bai Feng had probably left.

Hong Tan was probably not around as well. Perhaps he had left to help Teacher Liu get his characters in order. Only Bai Feng and Hong Tan had the skills required to do something like that.

Su Yu wasn't too bothered by their absence. Suddenly, he recalled something. Had his teacher and grandteacher fed the beasts while he was away? It had been quite a while since he last visited them.

Su Yu had been busy after the return of his grandteacher. Subsequently, he had entered seclusion. It had been nearly 10 days since he last fed them. During his last visit, he was there to ask the water elemental some questions. A few of them had been fed, but the mountaindrill bull and the others had not been given anything.

"Is the suanni still alive?"

Su Yu decided that it was time to pay them a visit. What if his grandteacher had forgotten about the beasts as well? It wouldn't do to let those beasts starve to death.

...

Prison zone.

The door swung open. When Su Yu walked in, the suanni was silently sprawled on the floor with fear on his face. When he saw that it was Su Yu, he exhaled in relief.

Good.

Su Yu looked at the suanni curiously and remarked, "Wow, you're still alive."

"..."

In a nearby cage, the mountaindrill bull hurriedly said, "My race, the mountaindrill bull race, has powerful bodies. We are the best for physical chores. Do you want me as a mount? The mountaindrill bulls are the best mounts you can find."

As a ninth-stage Skysoar, the mountaindrill bull was stronger than the fire crow. Among the prisoners, he was ranked fourth. At this point, face and prestige no longer mattered to him. If he didn't think of something, it was only a matter of time before he starved to death. The fire crow could help with weapon refinement, but he did not seem capable of anything else.

The mountaindrill bulls were known for their powerful bodies, but the mountainbreak bulls were better in regards to that. And their racial abilities also weren't too powerful. Strictly speaking, this was a race without anything special about them.

Nevertheless, they were pretty good at surviving. The human race needed to reach the Sunmoon Realm before they could regrow their bodies from a drop of blood. Meanwhile, the mountaindrill bull race could start doing so at the Skysoar Realm if one was lucky.

"Mount?" Su Yu laughed and said, "I'm afraid of death. Who knows if you'll turn against me the moment I release you?"

"No, I won't!" The mountaindrill bull promised, "The beast tamers of the human race are very powerful. I am willing to accept a beast tamer contract..."

"We'll see."

"Su Yu..."

Su Yu impatiently said, "You're too ugly to be my mount. Do you understand now? You don't look mighty enough. With one look, everyone knows you're from a weak race. The suanni race is better in that aspect. They have a good physical appearance..."

The suanni stared at Su Yu blankly. No! Absolutely impossible! He would rather die than be a mount!

Su Yu was unbothered. He said, "Stop wasting time. We'll talk about this again some other time. I still needed you guys previously, but honestly, you are no longer useful to me now."

Su Yu spoke with an indifferent tone, "I'm starting to find you guys weak. Even the water guy is only a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. There really isn't anything special about that. Recently, your Grandpa Su has provoked a lot of enemies. And these enemies aren't even Great Strength or Infinite Strength cultivators. I can deal with such weaklings myself. But my recent enemies have all been Mountainseas and Sunmoons..."

The mounts were all dumbfounded.

Su Yu smiled and said, "You guys continue serving as blood suppliers. I will continue finding time to feed you guys. I might not be your match now, but it won't be long before I surpass all of you. Honestly, what's the point of keeping beasts who are even weaker than me around? Am I supposed to raise you like livestock and slaughter you for meat?"

The water elemental couldn't stay calm anymore. He assumed a humanoid form and asked after some hesitation, "You're...near the Skysoar Realm?"

"Yes." Su Yu smiled and said, "If I hadn't stopped to cultivate a powerful cultivation method, I would probably be a Skysoar warrior already."

As he said that, his body shook.

All the acupoints in his body activated. A total of 300 acupoints were shining brightly inside his body.

This was the result of cultivating the Sky Sundering Saber and the second level of the Time technique.

300 acupoints!

Su Yu nonchalantly asked, "Do you see this? I have opened 300 acupoints. This is what a true genius looks like. The weakling in your eyes might not be a true weakling. When I finish fusing my acupoints and enter the Infinite Strength Realm, even regular Skysoars might not be my match."

All the beasts were shocked.
