Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 94: What You Get Is Not Necessarily Yours To Keep (2)

At the exact moment the character absorbed something from the beast, Researcher Huang shivered before looking at Su Yu. He smiled, "Interesting. What Divine Character did this kid have? It is probably something with an absorption ability. He just absorbed a tiny bit of my willpower..."

He was the one who had activated the bone scroll with his willpower. A tiny bit of his willpower had vanished when encountering Su Yu. For him, that amount of willpower was negligible, but he could still feel it.

He instantly reached a conclusion that Su Yu's Divine Character had an absorption ability and had devoured some of his willpower.

At the same time, he noticed that a fearful expression had appeared on Wu Lan's face. His eyes flickered in thought before he transmitted his voice to her, "These are fake. Wu Lan, Su Yu is already ahead of you. Are you going to embarrass yourself and place second?"

Bureau Head Sun glared at Researcher Huang.

Researcher Huang smiled, "I'm trying to provoke their competitive streak. It will be good to help them last longer. This is only a test. If they're afraid of even something like this, I'm worried about their future."

Bureau Head Sun coldly said, "A proctor is not allowed to get involved in the examination. Huang Sheng, I warned you before. The Talent Fostering Bureau will propose to the academy to cut your salary for three years as punishment. If you repeat your offense, I will propose to have you sent to the Devil Subduing Army's vanguard for three years instead."

Researcher Huang's face turned stiff. He bitterly said, "Head Sun, I...only spoke a single sentence to her..."

"Keep arguing and I'll make a report immediately and remove your position as an assistant researcher."

Huang Sheng no longer dared to say anything. He helplessly shut his mouth.

Liu Hong, you will need to compensate me for this! I lost a lot for you!

He wouldn't dare to actually practice fraud or suppress Su Yu. After all, he wasn't the sole proctor here. He had only given Wu Lan a tiny reminder. This youngster from the Wu Family had formed a Divine Character. She should have performed better.

He was only igniting her competitive streak. Strictly speaking, that couldn't even be considered fraud. Wu Lan would still need to rely on her own ability to walk further. Nevertheless, it was still taboo for a proctor to get involved in any way. If he had been standing among the students when he did that, Bureau Head Sun would have arrested him on the spot.

Wu Lan had walked about 15 meters initially, gaining 150 marks. Coupled with her previous marks, she now had 805 marks in total, just enough to gain a high-high evaluation. She was already a high-middle student before this. With her improvement, she was confident she could get a high-high evaluation in this examination. And she had proved her ability with her results thus far.

However, she had barely reached the score for a high-high evaluation. She was still inferior to some of the freaks in the capital. Despite this, as a high-high student, she was already among the best of the best.

Huang Sheng's words seemed to have worked. Wu Lan was visibly disturbed when she realized that she was going to fall behind Su Yu.

Impossible!

She shut her eyes and started waving her hands around. Nobody knew what she was doing in the illusion, but she looked like she was fighting something. In the blink of an eye, she walked two extra meters.

Bureau Head Sun looked at Huang Sheng again, his eyes frosty. She had gained 20 extra marks from the little advice of Huang Sheng. In fact, she was already on the verge of giving up earlier. Huang Sheng quickly looked away. He had already lost three years worth of salary from his advice. Why was his senior brother still glaring at him? That was too excessive!

To the side, the old man from the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy merely smiled silently. He was not interested in Wu Lan. She was someone who would definitely enter the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. Su Yu was the one who had caught his eye.

At that point, Su Yu had walked 10 meters, surpassing Zhou Tianqi who was only about a step behind Su Yu. Most of the other students were starting to reach their limit. One after another, they were brought out by the proctors.

When Liu Yue woke up, she saw that she had walked three meters. And when she noticed that only Su Yu and a few others were left, she could only sigh enviously.

She had known Su Yu for a long time. Prior to this, although Su Yu was also a remarkable student, he was only the number two student in Nanyuan Secondary School. She was the number one student.

But in this examination, she had gained 240 marks in the language test, 63 marks for her cultivation, and 30 marks for the third test for a total of 333 marks. She had enough to gain a middle-grade evaluation, but her result was far worse than Su Yu's.

She didn't even have any bonus marks from merit points. As a fourth-stage Source Opening cultivator, there were no avenues for her to earn merit points in Nanyuan. With over 300 marks and a middle-tier evaluation, she was already one of the best if she was only compared against the previous batches of Nanyuan students.

In the past, Nanyuan would only produce one middle-tier student every few years. This year, Su Yu appeared. Even without his marks from this test, he was already a high-tier student. The gap between them was growing wider and wider. Liu Yue felt disheartened. She did not stay around and left with complicated emotions.

...

"Garbage..."

Su Yu scolded. He was panting heavily while the bloody saber in his hand had transformed back into the character "blood". His little brother gave off the feeling that it was totally exhausted. It was even demanding to go back and rest. It had evidently reached its limit.

Su Yu didn't know how far he had walked. He couldn't see any students around him. But he knew that he had definitely not walked as far as Wu Lan. That idiot might have formed a complete Divine Character. As a Mental Tempering Stage student, she had definitely walked further than him.

.

"Looks like it’s time to put little bro 'thunder' to use."

Looking at the endless beasts before him, he felt somewhat helpless. These beasts weren't dangerous, but with them in the way, he couldn't advance. He had exhausted quite a lot of willpower. At this rate, he wouldn't be able to last much longer.

"Come out!"

The character "lightning" appeared.

Rumble!

His second little brother started bombarding the beasts with lightning, blasting them apart and instantly clearing a path for him. Su Yu was overjoyed. This little brother was much more reliable than his first little brother. Unfortunately, it also demanded a lot more willpower in comparison.

Su Yu could feel that he was going to run out of willpower soon. But he could still persevere. These Divine Characters had been nurtured in his sea of willpower and had their own personal willpower as well. He hadn't even used the character's personal willpower yet.

At the exact moment he utilized his second Divine Character, all the proctors focused on him.

"He advanced three meters instantly..."

Su Yu had already walked 15 meters. He was going to catch up with Wu Lan soon.

Bureau Head Sun's expression changed as he asked, "Did any of you sense anything? Is that the second ability of the same Divine Character or a second Divine Character?"

Su Yu couldn't see what was happening out there. He was still trapped inside the illusory world. The proctors couldn't see his Divine Characters, but they could sense different abilities being used. So which was it?

Someone with Su Yu's willpower should reach his limit at 10 meters. He was still inferior to the students who had reached the Mental Tempering Stage. But now, he was actually on the verge of catching up to Wu Lan.

Huang Sheng was unsure. He shook his head and said, "How did Bai Feng find a gem like this?"

This was Nanyuan!

He was almost impressed at Bai Feng for being able to find a gem at a place like this. Great Xia was a large prefecture with a massive population. Meanwhile, Nanyuan was merely a tiny city in the prefecture. Just how lucky was Bai Feng to be able to find a hidden gem here?

Bureau Head Sun said, "Who says he's Bai Feng's? He will belong to whoever manages to recruit him."

"..."

Huang Sheng blanked out before asking, "Head Sun, are you going to steal this student?"

"Not me, but I have a lot of junior and senior brothers who are still at the academy. Even my teacher is still there."

Head Sun said, "Is this student Bai Feng's just because he found the kid first? Says who? Is his name stamped on Su Yu's face?"

Huang Sheng wanted to laugh, but he stopped himself. This was Bai Feng's business. It had nothing to do with him. He had never considered accepting Su Yu as his own student. He would have no chance of accepting a high-high student anyway. Only someone like Bai Feng who was a young genius in the academy could do so. Furthermore, Bai Feng also had a powerful teacher.

No other assistant researcher would have the ability to recruit high-tier students. Those students wouldn't pick these people as their teachers either. They might only consider it if the teacher in question was family.
