Chapter 499: Leaving Openly (2)

Missions Department.

When Su Yu walked through the door, he saw that the main lobby was quite busy.

Teachers and students alike could be seen in the lobby.

The lobby had been split into different sections based on cultivation levels. Su Yu went straight to the Mental Tempering Stage section. There, he was instantly recognized. He even saw some intermediate class students. One of them called out, "Class Monitor!"

Su Yu looked over and smiled, "Chen Ming, you're here?"

A lot of people had noticed Su Yu. They were curious. Why was he here? There weren't a lot of missions for those at the Mental Tempering Stage. And for a genius like Su Yu, the minor missions here were simply not worth the time.

Chen Ming smiled and said, "I'm here to pick up a mission and earn some pocket money. Class Monitor, what are you doing here? You won't be able to find a suitable mission here."

Su Yu said, "I'm not here to pick up missions. I'm here to issue a mission. You know about my kill character, right? Recently, I keep having a feeling that the killing intent of the character is not strong enough. I need a suitable place to temper my character. I'm trying to figure out if there is a suitable location for that purpose..."

"The Devil Battling Field is perfect!"

"That's too expensive. I can't afford it. And my total earned merit has not reached 200 points anyway."

Someone else said, "In Great Xia, there aren't a lot of places to temper characters requiring killing intent. You either need a battlefield or a place with a lot of corpses..."

"Yeah!" Su Yu nodded. With a troubled expression, he said, "I'm looking for such a place. Chen Ming, I have been staying indoors to heal up for a while. Have you heard of a suitable place before?"

Chen Ming looked awkward. He did not know of such a place. Beside him, a different person said, "What a coincidence. I know of a place that is very suitable for what you need. Have you heard about the Myriad Race Pit?"

"What?"

"It's the place of execution for all cultists captured by Great Xia. With so many corpses there, that place is filled with killing intent and death qi..."

Su Yu asked in astonishment, "They left the corpses to rot after execution instead of burning them?"

"Yeah. Those corpses will be piled there to sow fear into the hearts of the other cultists."

Su Yu said in astonishment, "Isn't that...somewhat inhuman?"

The other student rolled his eyes and said, "Student Su, those are enemies. Traitors. Why should we be humane toward them? You are too kind. That's why there have been so many rumors about you recently...Everyone is saying that you're colluding with the myriad race students..."

That attracted even more attention.

Everyone was curious about what Su Yu had to say.

Su Yu frowned and nodded, "I understand, Senior Brother. I have heard the rumors, but I really don't feel like explaining myself. To speak the truth, I'm not the type of person to provoke others without being provoked first.

"Yes, I do know Xia Qing. When we stumbled upon each other in the past, she was very polite. I naturally had to return the politeness. Since she is living in the Human Realm, I believe that there is no harm in becoming her friend. If it's an enemy, such as a cultist, I won't hesitate to kill them."

"As for the matter of her fighting for me..." Su Yu laughed, "I don't know what happened. Whatever. I don't care. In any case, it's not like the single character faction is my friend. I don't know what they foreign students are trying to do. Maybe they are helping me sincerely. Maybe they are doing it out of malice. I will accept their gesture as a payment for teaching the single character faction a lesson."

The student sighed and said, "Junior Brother Su, you're too young. If you stay silent, everyone will take it as an admission of guilt. You might encounter more trouble in the future. A lot of the people in the military are against befriending the myriad races. You might be fine in the academy, but your life will be difficult when you join the army after graduation."

Su Yu said, "I don't intentionally pick fights with anyone. I honestly don't care about what others think of me. I have nothing to fear since I know that I haven't done anything wrong."

He moved on from the topic and asked, "Senior Brother, can you tell me more about the Myriad Race Pit?"

"Sure."

"..."

The senior was very cordial. He personally did not believe that Su Yu was a friend of the foreign students. It was more likely that they were trying to screw him over. Who would do something like this to their friend?

But Su Yu was still too naive. He actually believed that the foreign students did not harbor any malice toward him. As far as this senior student was concerned, the foreign students were clearly harboring ill intent toward him.

Su Yu was leaving for the Myriad Race Pit to nurture an exceptionally murderous kill character. If he was successful, such a character would be incomparably powerful with its dense baleful aura.

In a room.

Someone laughed and said, "Wang Zhishan, you sure got lucky. You were able to easily pick up a mission worth five merit points just from a random conversation. Remember to buy us a meal tonight."

Wang Zhishan grinned happily and said, "Sure! Su Yu is truly a generous person. I'll be honest. I only spoke to him because I couldn't stand by idly and watch while he was being slandered. Don't forget the incident where he lost over 8,000 times. All of us have benefited from that. But now, the Foreign Students Faculty are actually...hmph. Su Yu is the type of person who will be kind to everyone who is not an enemy. Do you really believe that Xia Qing is his friend?"

Chen Ming chimed in, "That's how Class Monitor Su is. If you don't provoke him, he will be very kind. The class monitor has merely shown the foreign students the same politeness he shows everyone. Those people are probably trying to destroy his reputation. It's either that or this is Xia Qing's stupid idea. In any case, I won't believe that Class Monitor Su is colluding with them."

After receiving some benefits from Su Yu, these two were working very hard to clean Su Yu's reputation. The others smiled and offered no retort.

What was the point of saying all this? Some people were too stubborn to change their minds, while others were deliberately pretending to believe the rumors for their own benefit. Explaining to these people was pointless. Eventually, they moved on to the topic of the Myriad Race Pit.

"The baleful qi at the Myriad Race Pit is too thick. Wang Zhishan, you guys need to be careful there. Don't let the baleful qi destabilize your sea of willpower."

"Will Su Yu challenge Di Feng after returning?"

"No idea. I don't think Di Feng is his match."

"Su Yu enjoys keeping to himself. He has only fought a few challenge matches so far, and each of those matches has been one where he was forced to fight..."

"By the way, the war academy fellows are coming next month. Are they going to provoke Su Yu? Of our new students, Su Yu is definitely not weak. Those fellows better not be stupid and provoke him."

"That's what I hope they do. That would make things interesting. The people from our academy have always been the ones to take a beating during these exchanges. If those war academy brutes dare to run their mouths this year, Su Yu will wipe the floor with them."

"..."

They talked about all sorts of topics. None of them were particularly concerned about Su Yu's visit to the Myriad Race Pit. After all, Su Yu didn't even know about the pit before this. Wang Zhishan was the one who had told him about that place. Nobody would suspect anything. And there was no denying that the pit was a good place to nurture a murderous character.

...

At the same time.

Di Feng had been notified of Su Yu's words. He snorted coldly.

"Myriad Race Pit...nurturing his character..."

Was Su Yu planning to challenge him after that?

Beside him, Huang Qifeng asked, "Senior Brother Di, should we stop him?"

"Why should we do that?" Di Feng coldly said, "I have been worried that he would keep running from me. Looks like he's really lacking confidence. He wouldn't dare to face me before increasing his strength. If we stop him and cause him to keep hiding, am I supposed to keep waiting for him?"

Zhou Pingsheng wouldn't allow him to advance before taking care of Su Yu. That was his mission. After defeating Su Yu, he would naturally be allowed to advance. Thus, Di Feng would be more than happy to see Su Yu challenge him.

"Let him go. Myriad Race pit...to nurture his killing intent? Does he think that I have never killed someone before?"

Di Feng snorted coldly. It wasn't like he hadn't killed anyone before. He had even killed a Skysoar before! Did Su Yu think that he could be dealt with using a tiny bit of killing intent? That fellow was underestimating him too much!

Huang Qifeng asked, "Senior Brother Di, is it possible that there's a ploy behind this trip of his?"

"..."

Di Feng looked at Huang Qifeng speechlessly.

Ploy his ass!

As a scheming rat, Huang Qifeng would naturally view everything with suspicion. That Su Yu was openly leaving to nurture his character. And he had only learned about the pit right before issuing the mission. How was that a ploy? Was this Huang Qifeng stupid?

He didn't even deign to give a reply. With Zheng Yuming's departure, he was the new leader of the younger generation. There was no need for him to show too much respect for Huang Qifeng.
