Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 158: Inheritance (1)

Bai Feng did not dare to believe what he was hearing. Fifty years ago, his teacher started researching the extraction of racial abilities. Or to be precise, the fifth principal had been researching the subject way before that. Even after so many years of research, they hadn't been able to achieve much.

Many racial abilities remained unextractable. Nothing could be extracted from blood essence above the Skysoar Realm. Countless blood essence and resources had been poured into this research.

They had only achieved a minor success in recent years. But now, someone was telling him that a Divine Character was capable of absorbing blood essence to unleash the racial ability of the blood essence's owner. Was that a joke?

Bai Feng glared at Su Yu and gnashed his teeth as he asked, "When are you reaching the Skysoar Realm?"

"What?"

"When are you reaching the Skysoar Realm?" Bai Feng said in agitation, "I want to see your Divine Character!"

He refused to believe it! That was impossible!? Before reaching the Skysoar Realm, Su Yu wouldn't be able to materialize his Divine Characters. Thus, Bai Feng would not be able to make a proper conclusion before then.

He asked again, "Did you lie to me earlier?"

"No." Su Yu answered carefully, "I'm telling the truth. Why don't you give me a drop of iron-winged bird blood essence and I'll show you?"

"Iron-winged bird blood essence? Can you only use this blood essence? Or will the blood essence of other races work?"

Bai Feng was barely able to calm himself down. It was understandable for him to not believe this without seeing it with his own eyes first. The only way he would believe it was if Su Yu could slap his face with a live demonstration.

"For now, I've only discovered my compatibility with the iron-winged bird..." Su Yu explained carefully, "I haven't had the chance to try other blood essence. I only gave it a try because the blood character was demanding to absorb some blood back then. I was quite surprised at the result too. I hadn't dared to tell anyone about it..."

"You made the right choice." Bai Feng solemnly said, "If this is true, this is a very troublesome ability. When you reach the Skysoar Realm, many people will start setting their eyes on your Divine Character. Remember, don't tell anyone about this. Including...forget it. Just remember that only the two of us can know about this for now. If you have to use this ability in public, just claim that you're using the special blood essence I gave you."

Bai Feng stood up and said, "I'll go get some iron-winged bird blood essence. Give me a demonstration."

"Ok."

Su Yu did not dare to say anything else when he saw the fierce expression on Bai Feng's face.

...

After about 15 minutes.

Bai Feng returned. He had an ugly expression, as though everyone in the world owed him money.

He tossed a drop of Great Strength blood essence to Su Yu and coldly said, "Use it and attack me. Use the racial ability in the blood essence."

Su Yu did not waste any time. His teacher was really grumpy today.? He swallowed the blood essence and activated his book. Once again, his hand swelled while one acupoint after another opened temporarily. The rip ability instantly activated.

Boom!

Su Yu clawed at Bai Feng's arm, ripping his sleeve apart. However, Bai Feng's arm remained completely fine. Bai Feng did not resist or strike back. He allowed Su Yu to attack freely. Looking at his torn sleeve and sensing the unique racial ability, Bai Feng was dazed.

How was that possible? That was really the racial ability of the iron-winged birds! This kid had simply swallowed a drop of blood essence to unleash a racial ability! How? One ought to know that the blood essence they used to unleash racial abilities had all gone through a special process.

Their special blood essence might look the same as any other blood essence, but they had invested an astronomical amount of wealth into the research. To produce a single special blood essence, they would need to use at least 10 drops of blood essence from the same race.

But Su Yu was able to unleash the racial ability with a regular drop of blood essence. How? Was the blood character really so incredible?

While Bai Feng was blanking out, Su Yu was madly attacking his arm. Even after dozens of attacks, Bai Feng’s arm was still completely unharmed. Despair started to sink in when Su Yu realized how weak he was. Why? Was a Skysoar cultivator so powerful?

When Bai Feng recovered from his stupor, he rolled his eyes and casually pushed Su Yu around 10 meters away from him. He said, "I'm a Skysoar cultivator. My body has been forged multiple times. Back then, I forged my body with the blood essence of a top 10 race. If a mere Source Opening cultivator...no, a pseudo sixth-stage Great Strength cultivator like you can break through my defense, I might as well stop cultivating."

What was that kid thinking? He wouldn't be Bai Feng if a mere sixth-stage Great Strength cultivator could harm him. Su Yu was dispirited. Bai Feng was even more dispirited. Both master and disciple were in a terrible mood. The atmosphere turned heavy.

...

After some time, Bai Feng rubbed his face and took a deep breath before saying, "Kid, if you can use the iron-winged bird blood essence, then other blood essence might work as well. Of course, you're still too weak. Don't try other blood essence for now or accidents might happen."

"Racial ability...racial ability!"

Bai Feng muttered to himself. His eyes lit up as he said, "We're still quite poor, but it doesn't matter. When I have some money, I'll buy a large amount of blood essence for you to try. You...you're not allowed to leave us! If you leave, that is the same as turning your back against your teacher. I will personally punish you for that! Think twice before doing anything!"

Bai Feng had a crazed expression as he paced around the room, looking like he had gone mad. But he was really going crazy. Just what was up with Su Yu? He had to help Su Yu reach the Skysoar Realm now!

The racial ability project had been ongoing for too many years. They had never gotten a breakthrough and they could barely produce any usable blood essence at the Skysoar Realm and above. As for humanity's very own racial ability, they still had zero clues about it. Su Yu might be the best test subject for this matter.

"Is it related to Divine Characters? A unique Divine Character that can carry racial abilities? What are the properties of such a Divine Character? Which character is required for this?"

A certain understanding dawned on Bai Feng as he muttered, "We shouldn't have focused on blood essence alone. We should expand the scope of our research and include Divine Characters as well. Yes, perhaps the racial abilities can be transplanted into Divine Characters! Ability fusion...perhaps racial abilities can be treated as Divine Character abilities as well?"

Bai Feng felt enlightened! It wasn't like they hadn't thought of that over the years, but their experiments had all failed. Divine Characters were quite rare and valuable too, so they eventually gave up on researching the link between racial abilities and Divine Characters. But now, Bai Feng felt like he had stumbled upon a certain truth.

"Teacher...I think I'm going to complete the research soon!"

After muttering to himself in excitement, Bai Feng turned and looked at Su Yu with a smile on his face. Su Yu's scalp instantly turned numb. That was a very bright smile. According to Su Yu's previous conclusion, anyone who carried such a smile on their face should be beaten to death.

"Little Yu!"

Bai Feng called lovingly, giving Su Yu goosebumps.

"Cultivate well but don't overdo it. We might be poor, but I will do my best to give you the resources you need. You only need to cultivate well! From now onward, tell me if anyone dares to bully you! I'll beat them to death! If I can't beat them, I'll get my teacher to beat them to death! Don't worry! Hahaha!"

Bai Feng started cackling. Today, his mood had undergone several intense changes. Not even Su Yu had experienced such an intense change in mood despite what he had experienced earlier.

...

Half an hour later.

Bai Feng had finally regained his calm. He looked at Su Yu again and exhaled, "I recalled something about my research earlier so I lost myself for a bit there. You didn't see anything you shouldn't, right?"

Su Yu shook his head. Even if he did, he would pretend he didn't! Bai Feng was going mad. He had nearly pissed himself earlier as he thought that Bai Feng had suffered a willpower backlash and had lost his mind. After all, that had happened to some other researchers in the past.

According to Zhou Hui, people like this would even kill when they got too agitated. Had Bai Feng gone mad? Su Yu wondered if he should stay away from Bai Feng from now on. All this felt so dangerous.

Bai Feng grimaced as he resisted the urge to dissect and study Su Yu. With a smile, he said, "Don't be afraid. Your teacher is fine. Dear Su Yu, cultivate well and enter the top 100 by the end of the year. You can beat them up with blood essence. That definitely doesn't count as external power. That is our research result!"

Bai Feng grinned, "Of course, don't make it so obvious. It would be even better if you only swallow the blood essence stealthily. If someone asks, just say that you got the blood essence from me. Tell them you're using the special blood essence produced by the multiple character faction."

Su Yu nodded.

"Nevertheless, your own strength matters a lot more. Get into the Skysoar Realm as fast as you can."

Bai Feng's smile grew wider, "Remember to tell your teacher when you reach the Skysoar Realm! Don't run around! Before reaching the Skysoar Realm, don't accept any dangerous missions. Run the moment you encounter any danger. Call for backup...cough, I mean call us if you need help. Your martial uncle and I are both in the academy. We have plenty of free time. Feel free to call us up!"

Bai Feng took out a jade pendant and said, "This is a summoning talisman. Crush it and I'll be there immediately. I'll get some defensive talisman for you too..."

Suddenly, Bai Feng's face went stiff. He had no money left. He couldn't let things continue like this. He had to ask for some money from Liu Hong or life was going to be difficult moving forward. He also needed to ensure that Su Yu would reach the Skysoar Realm as soon as possible. Right now, Su Yu was a test subject he could only see but couldn't research. How regretful.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Feng smiled again and said, "Cultivate well. I won't be disturbing you anymore. When I gather enough blood essence, you'll be able to give it a try. Your teacher will teach you how to properly use all those racial abilities."

Bai Feng was speaking with a loving tone that caused Su Yu's scalp to go numb.

Bai Feng added, "Also, about your position as the class monitor. If you don't want it, so be it. What a waste of time. If Liu Hong dares to say anything, I'll cut him down."

That Liu Hong was totally wasting his beloved student's time! He no longer needed to temper this kid. He only needed this kid to enter the Skysoar Realm!

Su Yu shook his head and solemnly said, "Teacher, since I've accepted the position, I'll carry out my responsibilities well. I'll only stop when Teacher Liu Hong removes me from the position. Otherwise, I won't stop until I reach the senior class."

He was now viewing the position as a pressure and source of motivation. At most, he would sleep a few hours less each night.

At that thought, Su Yu asked, "Teacher, can I move into the research center?"

"Of course you can!" Bai Feng was all smiles as he said, "That would be great! This place is safe and provides you with privacy when you cultivate. Very good. Just move in!"

"Thank you, teacher. I'll go back to my cultivation, then."

Su Yu felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Bai Feng so he hurried off from the room. He would rather return to his cultivation than to continue facing Bai Feng. After telling Bai Feng about what he could do with blood essence, Bai Feng had been looking at him like he was a walking merit point. It felt very uncomfortable.
