Chapter 470: Whack-A-Mole (3)
At the same time.
Outside.
Elder Sun was furious.
Zhou Pingsheng?
That was definitely the culprit!
That bastard!
Each time, the willpower of an area would be emptied. Shortly after, some willpower would be pulled over to replenish the emptied area. Zhou Pingsheng was the only person who would do something like that.
Damn that bastard!
Was he not aware of how expensive it was for them to open the grotto? Why was he creating so much trouble in the grotto?
Zhou Mingren was also speechless. Just what was Zhou Pingsheng doing?
Even Elder Qi was losing his patience. He said, "It's not easy for this grotto to be opened once. Don't waste this chance. If you guys really can't maintain it anymore, we can replace you. Stop messing around."
What the fuck was the single character faction doing? All these elders had their own people in the grotto. They had not obtained the slots from the single character faction for free.
If they kept messing around like this, these Mountainseas could very well end up reaching their limits, causing the grotto to collapse and all the students to be thrown out with heavy injuries.
It would truly be a tragedy if instead of benefiting from this grotto opening, the students had suffered instead.
Elder Sun and the others stayed silent. After inhaling deeply, Zhou Mingren said, "We don't need any help for now."
If they persevered, they would be able to provide more willpower to their Skysoar Realm and Cloudbreach cultivators in the grotto. If they allowed the other elders to take over, the distribution might become more equal while their Skysoar and Cloudbreach cultivators would receive less than they could right now.
...
At the same moment, someone cursed in the grotto, "Fuck! I demand a refund! Who did this?"
Xia Huyou was furious. "Who's messing around with me? Or is the single character faction doing this on purpose? Where's my willpower?"
A short while later, Zhou Pingsheng arrived. Xia Huyou furiously demanded, "It must be you! You have been running everywhere! You must be the culprit! In order to flush out Su Yu, you have been intentionally emptying the willpower around us, right?"
Xia Huyou said, "I paid for this slot! I paid Vice Principal Xia Changqing 5,000 merit points to enter! If you don't give me an explanation, I'll have the single character faction compensate me!"
Zhou Pingsheng cursed inwardly. Compensate his ass!This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
How was this related to him?
That had nothing to do with him!
"Xia Huyou, don't accuse people without proof."
Xia Huyou did not care. He said, "Just wait. If this happens one more time, I'll sue all of you for carrying out a grotto scam. You will be the first person I sue since you have been running everywhere! Don't think that I'm a pushover just because I'm not from Xia Family's main branch!"
Zhou Pingsheng was angered, but he had to hold his anger in.
It really wasn't him!
Damn it!
But this fellow's identity was somewhat complicated. His teacher had reminded him to not provoke anyone from the Xia Family. Not one of them could be provoked.
Thus, he forced himself to give an explanation, "This has nothing to do with me. Maybe the grotto itself is unstable. After all, it has remained shut for many years."
"Hmph!"
At that point, his total opened apertures had reached 54. In 5 hours, he had opened 10 apertures. This was the power of foundation cultural art.
Opening apertures were very easy at the Mental Tempering Stage. At the Skysoar Realm, the difficulty would increase by at least five times. In other words, if Su Yu was a Skysoar, he would probably be considered lucky even if he could open only two apertures after five hours in the grotto.
"See you, Brother Zhang."
Su Yu smiled and emptied their surroundings of willpower before leaving. Zhang Hao did not mind. He waited until Su Yu was away before shouting furiously, "Zhou Pingsheng! You must be doing this on purpose!"
His furious howl reverberated in the air.
"I won't let this slide!"
Far away, Zhou Pingsheng frowned, but he did not bother going near Zhang Hao.
He spread his willpower around to scan the area.
Coincidence?
Definitely not.
Just what was going on?
Su Yu?
No, Su Yu wasn't capable of this. Was it Hu Wensheng or Xia Yuwen?
He looked in two different directions. It was very far, but he could sense two intense clumps of willpower in those two directions.
He clenched his teeth and flew toward the other two Cloudbreach cultivators. He had decided to keep his eyes on them.
Damn it!
Was it Hu Wensheng?
Senior Brother Zheng had been seriously injured while he had been in a terrible position recently. Xia Chan would never be promoted to an important position in the faction. Thus, Hu Wensheng would be the person with the highest possibility of receiving his teacher's support after entering the Cloudbreach Realm. After all, Hu Wensheng was also from the same line as him.
And after running all around the grotto, he had invited the hostility of many people.
Was this Hu Wensheng's goal?
Damn it!
That couldn't be the case, right?
It was rather unlikely, but it wasn't impossible. Anything could happen when power and benefits were on the line. In the beginning, he suspected Su Yu. But since so much willpower had been absorbed, he would be stupid if he continued suspecting Su Yu.
As a mere Mental Tempering Stage student, even with some opened apertures, he wouldn't be able to absorb so much willpower. That was basically impossible. Way too many spots had been emptied of willpower.
As for Su Yu's hiding place...well, he was no longer in the mood to care about that. The damn kid was probably still hiding in a concealed spot.
This grotto wasn't large, but it wasn't exactly a completely flat area. There were still some places for people to hide if they wanted. Perhaps he had simply passed by Su Yu unknowingly.
He only wanted to see if the random spots would continue being emptied of willpower when he was keeping his eyes on the other two Cloudbreach cultivators. If it continued, then he would know that those two weren't the culprits.
If it stopped...hmph!
One of them must be trying to set him up!
Damn these bastards!
They were basically kicking a dog while it was down!
They were intentionally making things harder from him after seeing that his life had been difficult recently!
