Chapter 477: The Grotto Is Collapsing (1)
Absorb!
Absorb more!
Absorb crazily!
Su Yu had not even considered the fact that his grandteacher was having a terrible time. What a joke. What was his grandteacher? His grandteacher was an expert capable of fighting Sunmoons!
He was only absorbing a tiny bit of willpower. And he wasn't even absorbing directly from his grandteacher. He was absorbing the willpower produced by the resources of the single character faction. It wouldn't affect his grandteacher, so he naturally wouldn't hold back.
Willpower saturation?
Willpower overflow?
Yeah. That would happen with how much willpower he was absorbing.
But fear not! He had his little hammer!
Compress!
Purify!
He was uninterested in garbage willpower. He only wanted the purest of willpower!
All 80 of his apertures were full?
He couldn't absorb more?
Fear not!
He could open more! He could open even 180 apertures if he wanted!
With 80 apertures, his absorption speed was terrifying.
Even a regular ninth-stage Cloudbreach would only have 72 apertures opened.
Of course, since Su Yu's willpower was weaker in strength, his absorption speed was still incomparable to that of a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. But with 80 apertures, his speed was almost comparable to a seventh or eighth-stage Cloudbreach.
Continue!
Five hours...six hours...
This continued for 12 whole hours.
Little did he know, the materials supporting the opening of the grotto had been fully exhausted. The willpower expenditure was simply too high. At this point, Su Yu had opened a total of 100 apertures.
12 hours ago, he only had 71 opened apertures. In total, he had opened 29 new apertures. This was much faster than before. The thick willpower walls around him had thinned considerably.
And Su Yu's willpower had been tempered so much that he could no longer further temper them, forcing his willpower cultivation to reach 90 percent full. His willpower had turned extremely compact. If he continued tempering it, his willpower would probably turn solid.
But for willpower to turn truly solid, one needed to first reach willpower materialization. Since Su Yu had yet to achieve that, he could no longer continue tempering his willpower.
...
Meanwhile, Hong Tan felt like he was dying.
He kept telling himself that he was fine.
He could do this!
He needed to lie to everyone and show that he was fine!
He was really reaching his limit. The absorption speed was too fast. With 100 apertures, Su Yu was basically absorbing as much willpower as a Cloudbreach.
Su Yu laughed, "What are you saying? Am I not a single character faction member currently? Wait, that's wrong. We only have a character faction in the academy now. There are no longer single or multiple character factions."
"..."
Liu Hong laughed, but inwardly, he was suspicious. Why was the kid stopping? Had the kid really reached saturation? That was possible. After all, the kid had absorbed a lot of willpower. It wouldn't be too surprising if he had reached saturation.
Su Yu started leaving. While walking, he said, "I really need to thank you guys for the free entry into this grotto. I'm being earnest. I'm not being sarcastic."
Su Yu spoke with a solemn expression. He was serious! He was really thankful for them. These people sure were kind. It was only a pity that he had only opened 100 apertures. Why had his grandteacher told him to leave?
The grotto was going to collapse?
Really?
He had planned to open at least 108 apertures! Fortunately, his willpower was at a state of saturation, with all 100 of his apertures stuffed full with willpower.
This was still a decent harvest for him. After leaving the grotto, he would probably be able to open two or three more apertures after digesting all the willpower he had stuffed in his sea of willpower. There was always the option of going crazy one last time before leaving the grotto. Even if he couldn't open 108 apertures, he could accept leaving with only 105 apertures.
Su Yu started heading toward Wu Jia.
He completely ignored the group behind him. With a bunch of Skysoar and Cloudbreach cultivators there, these people would be fine even if the grotto collapsed.
As for Ji Xiaomeng and the other students there, they would be fine. Those Skysoar and Cloudbreach cultivators would protect them. If those single character faction members dared to let any harm fall to these students, they would probably die themselves after leaving the grotto.
After losing his daughter to a mere grotto visit, Ji Hong would definitely kill all of them in a fit of anger.
...
"Wu Lan!"
While on his way, Su Yu saw Wu Lan. He greeted her and smiled, "Have you reached saturation?"
Wu Lan glanced at him and decided to ignore him. She had reached saturation long ago! She was in the midst of nurturing her characters!
"Let's go together. The willpower here is too dense..."
Wu Lan was speechless. Was this guy stupid? Dense willpower would only make this a better cultivation environment! At first, Su Yu was inclined to ignore Wu Lan. But this girl was Wu Yuehua's grandniece. And Wu Yuahua was...his martial mother?
In a way, that was accurate.
Probably.
He wasn't too sure, but he knew that his Teacher Liu had a special relationship with Wu Yuahua. He felt pity for his Teacher Liu.
In the past, Teacher Liu had told him that all women were obstacles in cultivation. Perhaps these women were the reason why Teacher Liu had been stuck under the Skysoar Realm for so many years.
No wonder Teacher Liu had given him such a warning. He wouldn't doubt his Teacher Liu anymore. Teacher Liu was speaking from experience!
"Wu Lan, Xia Huyou said that you're garbage. He's planning to challenge you to a match. Do you know that?"
"..."
The moment those words were said, Wu Lan stopped cultivating and stood up. She coldly asked, "Are you speaking the truth?"
"Yes."
Su Yu said, "I met him earlier. In his words, you have been relying on your elder sister and grandaunt to act all cocky in the academy. He has been wanting to beat you up for a long time."
"Hmph!" Wu Lan snorted coldly and asked, "Where is he?"
"Ahead of us..."
Su Yu continued walking while sending a message to Xia Huyou.
