Of the human cultural researchers, so many of them also practiced physical cultivation. Over the years, had none of them considered creating a cultivation method or technique to remove this repelling force? Perhaps there was a way to link the acupoints in a way that the repelling force would be weakened?

"If the human race does not have something like this, what about the myriad races?"

And if that was the case, this would be his opportunity. According to his estimation, if he fused his acupoints normally, he would take at least 3 days to fuse only 2 acupoints. It would take him 45 days to fuse the 16 acupoints if the speed remained constant.

But the difficulty would keep increasing the more acupoints he fused. Thus, he might even take 2 months instead of 45 days to finish fusing the 16 acupoints.

He would need to take 2 months to enter the first-stage Infinite Strength Realm. And after that, he needed to progress through 8 stages. If he needed 2 months per stage, wouldn't he need to take 18 months to reach the peak of the Infinite Strength Realm?

Su Yu was actually grumbling that reaching peak Infinite Strength Realm with 16 fused acupoints per stage within a year and a half slow. If Xia Huyou knew that, he would probably cough blood in anger.

Xia Huyou had started fusing his acupoints for 3 months. And he had only fused 14 acupoints. Even now, he had yet to enter the Infinite Strength Realm. According to his estimation, he would require at least 1 or 2 more months to finish fusing 16 acupoints. Thus, he would require half a year to reach the first-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

And upon entering that realm, he would probably need 3 years to reach the ninth stage. He also needed to use a lot of precious resources to assist with his cultivation. Only then would he be able to start considering the advancement of his physical body into the Skysoar Realm.

Since this was the twhen he needed to be building his foundation, he was in no rush. In fact, he guessed that Su Yu would probably take a much longer tthan him.

Little did Xia Huyou know, as per Su Yu's own estimates, he would only need a year and a half to reach that level.

"If I can derive a cultivation method capable of weakening this repelling force, this will be an incredibly significant cultivation method."

He was right. Such a cultivation method might even be more valuable than a foundation cultural art. This would ease the advancement of all cultivators into the Infinite Strength Realm. More importantly, this would also allow people who would originally be able to fuse only three or four acupoints to fuse six or seven or even eight acupoints instead.

That would turn them into true Infinite Strength cultivators instead of so-called Five Strength or Six Strength cultivators.

"No, people will continue fusing acupoints at the Mountainsea Realm. So this cultivation method will also be very helpful for even Mountainseas."

So did something like this exist? Su Yu had no answer. Despite his talent, he was still too young. He lacked experience. He had opened a lot of pages in his book, but since he couldn't read sof the pages, he had yet to try those abilities.

"It's not enough to work alone. I need to get the research center going and get more people to help with translation. They can also help with information gathering. That way, I don't have to rely on Xia Huyou all the time..."

After all, the more questions he asked, the more the other person would know about him. If he asked only one person his questions, that person would basically have a full grasp on what he was up to as well.

It would seem like he really needed to start his research center. Even if he would end up recruiting speople with bad intentions, it didn't matter. He could always make everyone research separately. And he did not mind exposing sof his secrets. He only needed to keep his core secrets.

He continued working on his fusion, but the two acupoints were moving slower and slower. Eventually, the two acupoints finally overlapped. To truly fuse them, he needed to suppress them and keep them together until the repelling force was gone.

After a fusion, the single resulting acupoint would be much stronger than the total strength of the two original acupoints. A true Infinite Strength cultivator would be able to unleash the strength of 20 basic acupoints with only an acupoint fused from 10 basic acupoints. That was basically double the strength.

The scultivator would have 90 basic acupoints fused into 9 acupoints at the ninth stage, granting them the strength of 180 basic acupoints. And if this was someone who had cultivated the War God Art and opened 108 acupoints, that person would have the strength of 198 basic acupoints.

This was the strength of a true ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator.

As for Su Yu, he had actually opened over 300 acupoints. He was able to unleash a similar level of strength in bursts, but he did not have the endurance to keep unleashing this level of strength for long.

His strongest cultivation method was the Sky Sundering Saber, allowing him to use the strength of 144 acupoints. With the assistance of sother techniques, he could further boost his strength. That gave him a similar level of strength as a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator.

That was why he had been able to defeat those so-called Infinite Strength cultivators previously. Those people were at the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm, but they had not fused too many acupoints and weren't true Infinite Strength cultivators. They were naturally not his match.

In fact, Su Yu would not fear these fake Infinite Strength cultivators even if they somehow managed to reach the Skysoar Realm in the future. If someone managed to fuse 16 acupoints, one would be able to do more than double the strength of each basic acupoint.

Every basic acupoint fused would give a boost of 10 percent to the strength of each basic acupoint. By fusing 16 basic acupoints, a single basic acupoint would be as strong as two and a half basic acupoints.

After fusing 144 basic acupoints into 9 acupoints, one would be able to unleash the strength of over 300 basic acupoints. That would grant Su Yu an incredible combat strength. He would be much stronger than other true Infinite Strength cultivators. As for those who had fused only seven or eight acupoints, they would be akin to babies in front of him.

...

But to do one's job properly, one needed the proper tools.

Su Yu did not intend to work on his acupoints blindly like everyone else.

He wanted something better than taking two months to enter the first-stage Infinite Strength Realm. He would rather spend the two months in search for a shortcut, a more efficient method of fusion.

The next day.

6th of November.

Su Yu went to class again. As usual, he was maintaining a low profile.

On his way, he encountered Wu Lan. Normally, when Wu Lan saw him, she would not pick a fight even if she wouldn't be too cordial either. But this time, she had a cold and detached expression as she turned her head and walked away from him, as though he was an embarrassment and she couldn't stand being near him.

Su Yu had nothing to say. But he could guess the reason for her behavior. He was now known as a friend of the myriad races. He was different from everyone else. He was a traitor.

Everyone was prejudiced against the myriad races while he was their friend. What was the meaning of that? Su Yu couldn't even be bothered to explain himself. He continued heading to the classroom. On his way there, he heard sidle gossip about him.

When he arrived at the classroom, a lot of the students were gossiping with each other as well.

Surprisingly, Xia Huyou was present. When he saw Su Yu, he loudly asked, "Su Yu, is that Xia Qing really your friend?"

He then blinked his eyes at Su Yu. Clearly, he was trying to give Su Yu a chance to explain the matter.

Su Yu smiled, "If she says we're friends, then that must be the case. There is no need to explain myself. This is a class of geniuses. Everyone has their own way of judging things. There is no need to explain things to the smart ones. As for the fools...what's the point of explaining to them?"

Xia Huyou was speechless. Was this fellow accepting his fate?

Sure, speople believed that the myriad race students were trying to screw Su Yu over. But his reaction was way too gentle. After all, when the majority started believing that Su Yu was really a traitor, the few smart ones who knew the truth would shut their mouths.

At that point, speaking for Su Yu would only turn them into his fellow conspirators.

Su Yu ignored Xia Huyou and sat down beside Hu Qiusheng. He smiled and asked, "Brother Hu, you don't mindsitting here, right? Or should I stay far away from you to not implicate you?"

Hu Qiusheng smiled, "Are you joking with me? Just ignore those boring rumors. The Foreign Students Faculty is finally trying to do something after so many months of silence. It's not like nobody knows what they're doing. But you can only blyourself for being careless and giving her this opening..."

He added, "Also, I wasn't the one who had spread your encounter with her. Don't misunderstand me."

"I don't suspect any of you." Su Yu smiled, "That tigress herself is working hard to kick up a ruckus from nothing. I'll just ignore her. By the way, I'm going to open my research center soon. Are you still interested in joining, Brother Hu?"

"Of course."

"Good. I'll be filing my application soon." Su Yu exhaled and said, "I'll try to get the research center up and running first. Previously, Elder Sun promised to givea building to set up my research center."

"You still need a Skysoar. Are you..."

Su Yu smiled, "I'll talk to speople. I only need to borrow someone's name. It won't be difficult."

Hu Wensheng had a profound tone as he said, "But due to all the rumors, you might not be able to get someone to lend you their name. You understand that, right?

"You can't rely on the help of Elder Wu and the others. These people already have their own research centers. Their names can't be used to open more research centers. This was a decision the academy made to prevent sresearchers from opening random research centers and wasting academy resources."

Su Yu nodded, "It's fine. I know someone who wouldn't mind the rumors surrounding me."

He actually had a decent number of candidates. This wouldn't be an issue for him.

Instead, something entirely different was the issue. He said, "I need to build a data room. But for my data room, I need a lot of information, including information about cultivation methods. I can find sin the Wentan Research Center, but most of the information there is related to characters. I want to build a data room with more information, including the information of the myriad races. Are you able to gather sof the information for me?"

Hu Qiusheng nodded, "Common information is of little value. I can get a copy of each book in my house for you, but I doubt I can get you any top-secret information."

"Just gather as much information as you can."

Su Yu smiled, "I can give you a share in the research center, Brother Hu."

The Hu Family was a big family. Thus, he was trying to drag them toward his side.

Hu Qiusheng smiled, "Givinga share? Forget it, Brother Su. I only want to focus on cultivating. I don't want to get involved in any other affairs..."

Su Yu said, "Sure. But don't regret your decision when we release a research result. Of course, as the first member, you will still receive a good bonus. But I have to make it clear that we're still very poor right now. You won't get anything for now."

"I understand." Hu Qiusheng asked, "Do you want to get Mingze and the others involved as well?"

"I'm still thinking about it." Su Yu did not give a confirmation. He would need to think more about Wan Mingze.

But he could try to recruit sother people, such as Zheng Yunhui and Xia Huyou to make his research center look more impressive. That was the only thing he wanted out of them. Prestige. He did not expect any contribution from them in regards to research.

As for the acupoint fusion cultivation method he was looking for, he would first do sinvestigation himself for it. If he failed to find anything, he would start asking around.

While he was thinking, Hu Wensheng said, "The war academy has decided on a date. During the 1st of next month, they will be visiting our academy to challenge our students. What are you going to do?"

"Isn’t participation compulsory?"

"Not really. But...you will understand. If you stay away from the fight, you will probably feel terrible looking at the fights of others."

Su Yu smiled, "Because our fellow students will be receiving a beating from the war academy students?"

Hu Qiusheng nodded helplessly. He said, "Every year, there are even situations where sof our students are beaten until they start crying. Also, those fellows from the war academy are...very vulgar. People like us will still watch our words when we are talking trash. But those brutes won't. They will happily scold your family and your ancestors. Can you stand that?"

Su Yu smiled, "In that case, I'll simply be absent."

"Even if you're absent, they still know about you. They will simply stand in a ring and issue a public challenge to you. If you refuse to fight, they will call you a coward. You won't have a choice."

"..."

Su Yu was speechless. Was that really going to happen? No wonder the cultural research academy students had continued to fight each year even after being beaten up for so many years. They would rather receive a beating than allow the brutes to act all arrogant in their academy. Alas, those brutes would only turn more arrogant after delivering them a beating.

"I'll see. If they dare to provoke me...they will have to suffer the consequences."

Su Yu said, "Let's forget that for now. It is still quite far away. Let's focus on establishing our research center first. As for our recruits, we don't need strong individuals. We only need people who are rich in knowledge, such as someone with mastery over hundreds of languages, or someone with a wide base of knowledge, and so on. Strength is really not too important for what I want to do."

"That won't be an issue." Hu Qiusheng nodded, "I'll compile a list of names for you. These names can be easily found in the academy records. After all, one would be tested for the languages they know in the academy. But you will have to do the recruiting yourself."

"Sure."

Su Yu nodded. Speople had been focused on studying, resulting in a comparatively weaker strength. Sof these people were probably still stuck below the Mental Tempering Stage. It wouldn't be too hard to recruit these people.

And these were precisely the type of people Su Yu needed the most currently. He might have mastered dozens of languages himself, but that was not enough. And it was impossible for him to learn all languages by himself.

Thanks to the existence of the common language, there were fewer language experts nowadays. In fact, the languages of sminor races were on the brink of completely dying out in the Human Realm.
