Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 383: If I'm Brave Enough, The Whole Academy Could Be Mine (4)

Zhang Hao was still deep in shock. What? Heaven-grade cultivation methods? Profound and yellow cultural weapons could be obtained easily? Earth-grade cultural weapons were only troublesome but still possible to get? Was this fellow aware that in the entirety of Great Xia, there was only one individual capable of forging earth-grade cultural weapons.

Was this fellow sure that this was a club for students instead of a club for Mountainseas and Sunmoons?

Zhang Hao swallowed and nervously asked, "What...is the price of joining?"

"The price?" Su Yu laughed, "Keep anything involving the club a secret. The more you give, the more you get. For example, you have some information to submit. I will be the middleman. Anyone in the club interested in that information will have to offer something for the information. It's that simple. This is basically a club to connect different people and help each member get what they want. We're not a cult. We don't need your devotion and soul."

"..."

Zhang Hao had an embarrassed look when he heard that. He inhaled deeply and said, "I wish to join. But I need to make one thing clear. If it is revealed one day that this club is an illegal club that is acting against humanity, I will withdraw from it and report it to the authorities. At that time, I hope you won't blame me for my lack of loyalty..."

"Don't worry. That won't happen." Su Yu smiled, "If that's really the case, I'll be the first person to give myself up to the authorities. Doing something like that in the Human Realm is the same as suicide. Only those idiots from the Myriad Race Cult will do something this stupid. I am a genius with a boundless future. Why should I do something like that?"

"True..." Zhang Hao turned excited as he said, "Then...can I ask about the cultural art? What's the price for one?"

"That is quite expensive. I'm a founder yet even I had to pay 100 mutual aid points for the instructions to open each aperture. You will probably need to pay double the price. The value of one mutual aid point is roughly the same as one merit point."

"So cheap?"

Zhang Hao blanked out slightly. That was really cheap. That was basically 200 points! In that case, he only needed 3,600 points for 18 apertures! Was that expensive? No! After all, that was something generally only found within Invincible families. You wouldn't be able to find it in public.

"Cheap?" Su Yu helplessly said, "You guys sure are rich. It's very expensive for me. Also, you're not using merit points. Sure, the value is equal, but the Mutual Aid Club is new. We don't even have that many missions yet. Mutual aid points are very hard to earn. I only earned 500 mutual aid points for the entire Soul Devouring Art." contemporary romance

"You...already earned 500 points?"

Zhang Hao was stunned. This guy was really going all in.

"It's fine. The art will only be spread within the club so there shouldn't be any problem." Su Yu said, "At the very least, I managed to get something out of it. The other fellows have a lot more good stuff than me. Things like source qi purification art, body strengthening art, and so on can be found. I am really envious of them."

At this point, Zhang Hao was already starting to develop a sense of admiration toward the Mutual Aid Club. He wanted nothing more than to complete some club missions immediately and buy the aperture opening instructions.

"Brother Su...are there any recent missions that are suitable for me?"

"Yes." Su Yu smiled, "In fact, I was the issuer. My senior sister will be challenging the top 100. I need people to intentionally lose to my senior sister. The one to receive her can let her win for a reward of 10 mutual aid points. I will be the one paying. So are you interested?"

"Of course!" Zhang Hao was overjoyed, "The next time there are such simple missions, remember to look for me as well. Brother Su, you're trying to use the sound transmission talismans to issue these missions, right?"

"Yeah."

"I can craft these talismans for you! Wait, nevermind. You might not trust me enough. How about this? I'll supply you with a batch of talismans that have been crafted in stages like I suggested. You can then get some people to check these talismans. We need to quickly set up a proper communication channel or I will only be able to watch these arts with envy without being able to get any of them."

Su Yu smiled, "You sure are impatient. Sure, we can do that. This club is still in an early phase. We don't even know if the club will last. Our main goal is to grow and gain more strength to protect ourselves. But secrecy is still very important. We don't want to catch any unwanted attention."

"I understand."

"..."

The two continued their conversation for a while before Su Yu left. At that point, Zhang Hao could no longer hold his emotions in. His face was filled with excitement.

Mutual Aid Club!

Mutual Aid Club!

That was the reason! That was why Su Yu had been growing so fast! Who was the true controller of the club? Hong Tan? Or someone else? What was the origin of that cultural art?

"Zhao Li, Hong Tan, Liu Wenyan, Xia Family..."

Numerous names appeared in his mind. Access to cultural weapons below the earth-grade. Who else in Great Xia could provide something like that? As for cultivation manuals, very few individuals in Great Xia were actually capable of creating and providing original cultivation manuals. One needed to study meticulously for many years to be capable of that.

Since Su Yu dared to put these manuals in the club, then these manuals were definitely not available for the public yet.

"Is this the trump card of the multiple character faction? The inheritances of the fifth principal?"

"..."

It no longer mattered. In any case, this was definitely related to the multiple character faction. None of that mattered to him. He only needed to know that this club could benefit him.

...

Walking out of the Mental Tempering Garden, Su Yu smiled.

Another member was recruited!

As for the cultural art, he had only revealed it to Zhang Hao after thinking deeply about it. He might not be able to keep it hidden for long. In that case, it might be a good idea for him to take out a part of the cultural art.

After all, the Five Elemental Cultural Art could actually be split into five parts, one for each element.

He could take out one part and use Bai Feng as his scapegoat. If Bai Feng wasn't enough, he would let his grandteacher be the scapegoat instead. If even that wasn't enough, he could just claim that the cultural art was a secret inheritance of the fifth principal. And a single part only opened 36 apertures, not 180 apertures.

Strictly speaking, a single part wasn't even as good as the Myriad Text Sutra. It was merely helpful for those below the Skysoar Realm. And the Invincible families would already have their own cultural arts so he wouldn't even invite the greed of people too strong for him to handle.

"Zhang Hao..."

For now, he should plant his seeds everywhere. By the time the entire academy was filled with his seeds, the time would be ripe for him to reap the harvest that the club could provide.

The people he recruited were no simple individuals. These individuals were also related to other powers. That was the case for all geniuses. The moment they were mobilized, the powers behind them might also end mobilized. For example, a freak like Zhang Hao could very well be connected to a large group of experts. Even Su Yu himself was connected to a decent number of experts.

"Sigh. It's a pity that this will take some time."

But with the club, if he was given a decade or so, the true decision maker in the academy could very well change. At that time, the academy would be filled with his people. His enemies would tremble in fear.

The Mutual Aid Club members would be everywhere, from the Heart Cultivating Pavilion to the Top 100 Ranking. That would be terrifying. And not even the fellow members would know who the other members were. How scary was that?

"I can even open some smurf accounts with fake identities to keep issuing missions that are beneficial to me. Yes, each member needs to be given a code name. I can start from one and expand infinitely."

After thinking about it, Su Yu decided to reduce the frequency of direct meetings with the members. And he could use numerous smurf accounts and pretend to be descendants of Invincibles, geniuses of other academies, experts who had fallen into hard times, and so on.

Basically, he had to make all the members believe that the club was incredible. He needed them to believe that he was merely the face of the club, not the true leader. Why him? Because he was talented enough. And he also had powerful backers.

"Yes, I should do just that!"

He decided to try issuing a mission to suppress the single character faction and see how it went. Perhaps Zhang Hao and the other members couldn't do something like that, but what about the powers behind them?

These people might even trick their backers to get involved for the sake of mutual aid points. But the club was still too small. And the Zhang Family did not seem too powerful. They only had a ninth-stage Cloudbreach in the family.
