Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 461: A Silly Visitor (1)

The so-called tuition class he claimed he was starting previously was nowhere to be seen. There had also been no updates regarding the research center he wanted to found. It was as though the boastful Su Yu from that day was a lie.

...

While Su Yu and Zhao Li were locked in seclusion.

Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.

Outside.

Chen Hao was looking around curiously. So this was the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy? It didn\'t look like anything special. The Martial Dragon War Academy looked a lot more imposing!

"Chen Hao?"

Suddenly, someone called out to him.

When Chen Hao looked over, he instantly recognized who the other person was. "It\'s you! You\'re the fatty beside Yu previously."

"..."

Xia Huyou was speechless. If this bastard wasn\'t Su Yu\'s friend, he would have beaten the damn bastard to death. Who was the fatty here? Was he fat? He was sturdy, not fat! This damn bastard was only relying on his height to look less fat. If they had the same height, this bastard would be a lot fatter than him!

"I\'m Xia Huyou." Xia Huyou introduced himself and said, "You heard from Su Yu, right? He\'s currently busy so I\'ll be taking charge of you."

"Xia Huyou(Misleading scammer)?"

Chen Hao was stunned. What stupid name was that?

This was clearly the name of a bad guy! Xia Huyou couldn\'t even be bothered to say anything about that. He was already used to this.

He beckoned at Chen Hao and started walking away while talking, "Come on. Remember to be smart while you\'re in the academy. Watch what you say and don\'t mention Su Yu\'s name. Don\'t even say that you\'re his friend. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I know." Chen Hao nodded. That response surprised Xia Huyou. What exactly did this fellow know?

Why wasn\'t this fellow asking anything?

Before Xia Huyou could say anything, Chen Hao whispered, "Did Yu scheme someone to death? Or did he kill someone directly? How many people did he kill? It\'s illegal to kill. He wasn\'t caught, right?"

"..."

Fuck!

That was the only word Xia Huyou had in his mind. This fellow actually knew Su Yu so well? So Su Yu had already been a scumbag for a very long time?

When Xia Huyou first met Su Yu, he had thought that Su Yu was an honest kid. But listen to Su Yu\'s childhood friend. This childhood friend was able to immediately guess that Su Yu had done something bad.

So Su Yu had been a scumbag since he was a child! Suddenly, Xia Huyou felt exhausted.

While walking, Xia Huyou said, "He didn\'t break any laws. Just lay low and be careful in the academy. You don\'t want to attract anyone\'s attention."

"I understand." Chen Hao nodded. He glanced around them before asking curiously, "Can I call you fatty? You have the name of a villain. It\'s not nice to call you by your name."

"Whatever." Xia Huyou gnashed his teeth in anger. This damn bastard was from the Martial Dragon War Academy right? So this was basically a future member of the Martial Dragon Guards. He should find a chance to get a leadership position at the Martial Dragon Guards and use that opportunity to take care of this bastard.

"Fatty, are you strong?"

"I\'m decent."

"Are you a new student?"

"Yeah."

"You must have reached the Great Strength Realm, right? People Yu hangs out with won\'t be too weak."

"Yeah."

"Not bad at all. You have the same cultivation level as me."

Chen Hao nodded smugly. He was a Great Strength cultivator as well.

Xia Huyou didn\'t even know what to say. Yes. Both of them were at the Great Strength Realm. But they were far from similar, especially when combat strength was taken into consideration.

This childhood friend of Su Yu was really quite lacking in intelligence. No wonder he ended up in the Martial Dragon War Academy.

Chen Hao continued looking around curiously as he walked. Suddenly, he said, "The Great Xia Cultural Research Academy sure is a boring place. In our academy, you can hear the grunts of people practicing martial arts all day long. There are also sounds of people fighting every now and then. It\'s a bustling place. Why is it so quiet here?"

He was right. Generally, the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy was a very quiet place. Most students would spend their time in classes or cultivation. Very few people would wander around the academy for no reason.

Xia Huyou said, "Those are warriors. We are cultural researchers. We are not the same."

"Oh?"

Chen Hao nodded. Cultural researchers sure were a boring bunch. And for some reason, they loved their long robes so much. That looked totally uncomfortable and inconvenient. Wouldn\'t the robes get in the way in fights?

Suddenly, a few people walked past them. From their conversation, Chen Hao heard a familiar name.

"Why is Su Yu missing? I thought he\'s going to climb the top 100 this month. After his defeat, Zhan Hai has entered seclusion. I reckon he\'s trying to enter the Skysoar Realm. Without him in the top 100, Su Yu will dominate the ranking. The ranking matches will be a lot more boring after that."

"True. After the tournament, the challenge matches have stopped for the monthly reset. They only have two days left if they want to face each other again before they enter the Willpower Grotto. Zhan Hai will definitely leave the grotto as a Skysoar. This is their last chance to fight before the Skysoar Realm."

"..."

Su Yu?

First place in top 100?

Chen Hao blanked out. After walking further away from the students, he asked Xia Huyou, "Fatty, were they talking about Yu?"

Xia Huyou glanced at Chen Hao and smiled, "Who else?"

"First place in top 100?"

Chen Hao was astonished.

"Yeah. He is strong enough to wipe the floor with the number one student of your Dragon Tiger Ranking without breaking a sweat."

"..."

Chen Hao turned dispirited. Was that true?

Wasn\'t it supposed to be top five previously? Su Yu had upgraded from top five to number one?

That was fast. It hadn\'t even been long since their previous meeting!

"So he\'s in hiding after beating some people up?"

"No..." Xia Huyou paused shortly to arrange his words before saying, "The Great Xia Cultural Research Academy is a lot more troublesome than your Martial Dragon War Academy. In your academy, the people are relatively united. After all, most of you will end up serving in the same army after graduation. As for our academy...the situation is somewhat chaotic."

"Chaotic?" Chen Hao whispered, "Will it result in death?"

"Yes."

Xia Huyou nodded. He wasn\'t lying. Just a few days ago, two Mountainseas and one Cloudbreach had died. Additionally, a few popular geniuses had also been crippled. One could say that their internal conflict had reached a very high level of intensity.

Chen Hao said nothing else.

The Grotto District was near.

At that moment, they saw a few individuals walking over from the opposite direction. When they saw Xia Huyou, one of them greeted, "Brother Xia, you\'re visiting the Grotto District?"

That person then looked at Chen Hao in astonishment. A student from the Martial Dragon War Academy? Yes. Chen Hao was still wearing the Martial Dragon War Academy\'s uniform.

Why was a student of the Martial Dragon War Academy here? This fellow...didn\'t not seem to be that strong?

Xia Huyou smiled and asked, "Where are you guys going? Xia Chan, why aren\'t you greeting your elder brother? That\'s rude, you know?"

At the very center of the group was none other than Xia Chan.

She shot him a glance and said nothing. Wasn\'t this fellow trying to hide his identity? Wasn\'t he pretending to be a member of a branch family? Wasn\'t it normal for her to ignore him? This damn fatty had been insisting that she call him elder brother just because he was a few months older than her. She couldn\'t even be bothered to entertain him.

The first person to greet them said, "Brother Xia, we\'re on our way to welcome some people back. Senior Brother Di Feng and the others are returning in triumph. They have eliminated a cult stronghold and killed a Skysoar. If everything proceeds smoothly, they might even be able to cancel the ban placed on them..."

"Brother Xia, you\'re quite close with Su Yu, right? Where has he been? Senior Brother Di has killed a Skysoar, proving that he has grown even stronger than before. I\'m afraid he\'s already not far away from the Skysoar Realm. If he manages to enter the Willpower Grotto as well, he would definitely be able to reach the SKysoar Realm. Su Yu must have hidden himself in fear, right?"

Xia Huyou rolled his eyes inwardly. What was the point of saying all that to him?

He was a merchant. He did not involve himself in factional conflicts.

He kept the smile on his face and said, "I don\'t know, but I guess I have to congratulate Senior Brother Di. I don\'t know about Su Yu. If you are interested in buying some information about him, I can do some investigation. I am a businessman. I don\'t care about the conflict between you guys..."

"Yeah, we know that."

They laughed. Previously, when Li Shiyun and the others were defeated, the single character faction was starting to despair.

Perhaps it was for the sake of repairing their morale, but not long after, news of Di Feng destroying a cult stronghold spread into the academy. He had even joined hands with a few other students to kill a Skysoar. The students of the single character faction were all relieved upon hearing that news.

Killing a Skysoar.

That was something not even Zhan Hai had accomplished before. And Di Feng had done so. It could only mean that he was stronger than Zhan Hai. And Zhan Hai was extremely strong. If it wasn\'t for the surprise attack by Su Yu and Zhou Hao, he might even win against the two of them alone. With the spread of that news, the single character faction\'s morale recovered.

At this time, the student who had greeted Xia Huyou asked curiously, "Brother Xia, this is...a student from the Martial Dragon War Academy? He can\'t enter our grotto, right? Are you guys heading to the Grotto District?"
