149: Chapter 149 Winning Over

In the distant Aolan Star Domain.

Deep underground on Planet One, inside that "Yuanqi Cave Dwelling" sealed by heavy Formations.

If Su Wu could span the Star Domain and see Su Yu's current state, he would definitely retract that prayer of "don't be lazy" from just a moment ago.

Because Su Yu's current cultivation state is already extremely diligent!

In this strange space, only the size of a single room.

The pure Origin Qi, originally as viscous and liquefied as deep-sea heavy water, was now forming a crazily rotating, massive Origin Qi tornado with Su Yu at its center!

It has been a year.

A full year has passed since Su Yu stepped into this Yuanqi Cave Dwelling.

According to common sense.

After closing off for a year in a blessed land where the concentration of Origin Qi is a hundred or even a thousand times higher than the outside world.

Even if a gifted Martial Artist at the Early Stage of the Star Lord Realm hadn't reached the Star King Realm, their cultivation should have at least surged to the high or even Peak of the Star Lord Realm.

However, what is puzzling is that Su Yu has only reached the fifth level of the Star Lord Realm!

In one year, in such a Heaven-Defying environment, he only improved by four minor Realms?

If those geniuses outside who would break their heads just to get in for a day knew this, they would definitely point at Su Yu's nose and curse him for wasting Heaven's gifts and being dull-witted.

But this is not because Su Yu's talent is lacking, nor is it because his cultivation speed is too slow.

It is because, in the first month of entering this Yuanqi Cave Dwelling, Su Yu discovered a Heaven-Defying mechanism of his own "Chaos Body" with extreme surprise!

When facing this high-purity, high-density torrent of Origin Qi, his Chaos Body actually exhibited characteristics similar to a black hole!

It can not only crazily absorb this Origin Qi to improve his cultivation Realm, but more terrifyingly, it can limitlessly compress and purify the massive amount of Origin Qi sucked into his body, and then, like charging a battery, continuously store it in every cell and every inch of bone deep within his body!

Moreover, the speed and appetite for this "storage" far exceeded the absorption speed he used to refine it into cultivation!

When Su Yu discovered this secret, his eyes instantly shone like a thief's.

"Improving the Realm is certainly important, but this Yuanqi Cave Dwelling is a consumable; every time you enter, there's one less time!"

Su Yu calculated crazily in his heart: "If I just purely improve my Realm, and when the time is up and I'm teleported out, that would be too much of a loss! Since my body can be used as a battery, then I will pack up as much of the Origin Qi in this cave as I can!"

Thus.

In this full year.

Su Yu forcibly suppressed his impulse to quickly Breakthrough Realms.

He controlled his Chaos Body to forcibly extract the pure Origin Qi from this Yuanqi Cave Dwelling, compress it to the limit, and Seal it deep within his Physical Body!

Even though he only allocated less than ten percent of his time and Origin Qi for normal cultivation, he still rose steadily from the first level of the Star Lord Realm to the fifth level of the Star Lord Realm, as if he were sitting on a rocket!

And at this moment, the total amount of highly liquefied, pure Origin Qi stored in his body has reached a shocking level!

This energy is like a treasure vault sealed within his Physical Body.

It is enough for Su Yu to Cultivate in seclusion comfortably for decades after leaving the cave, even without absorbing a single wisp of Origin Qi from the outside world!

Not to mention, he still has the resources periodically distributed by the academy.

"Hoo..."

When the one-year term of the Yuanqi Cave Dwelling finally expired, the originally viscous Origin Qi around him became much thinner.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the abundant power within his body, a faint, extremely satisfied smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"The Chaos Body has absorbed enough."

"For the next year... with the academy's resources and the Origin Qi reserves in my body working in tandem."

Su Yu stood up, "I have the confidence to step into the Star King Realm within the first year!!!"

Graduate in a hundred years?

To hell with a hundred years! I will use the shortest time to create a new record for Aolan Academy!

...

Holy Spirit Star Domain, ancestral land of the Ouyang Divine Clan.

In the blink of an eye, Su Wu had already spent more than half a month of peaceful time in Qingyun Villa.

In this half month, as Su Yu, far away in the Aolan Star Domain, broke through to the seventh level of the Star Lord Realm, Su Wu's cultivation simultaneously rose to the seventh level of the Domain Lord Realm.

At the same time, Su Wu had a clear understanding of his current martial arts positioning.

He finally understood why Ouyang Qingtian, a dignified Realm Lord, would treat him with such courtesy.

Under this starry sky, a Fourth-Level Domain Lord who simultaneously controls four types of Law, his gold content and potential represent something like a Genius who has mastered controllable nuclear fusion in the Mortal world!

That is something even the God Race wants to win over!

In addition to martial arts cognition, Su Wu also had a more macroscopic and cruel understanding of the current external survival environment of the Human Race in the Milky Way.

The Human Race is weak, surrounded by wolves—this is definitely not just empty talk.

On the borders of the major Star Domains of the Milky Way, the Human Race's expeditionary forces are almost constantly engaged in meat-grinder-like bloody battles with those powerful and strange alien races.

The Aolan Star Domain borders the Andromeda Galaxy and faces the crazy invasion of the brutal Rakshasa Clan all year round.

The two monsters disguised as humans that Su Wu killed in Star City last time were exactly the death warriors of the Rakshasa Clan who had infiltrated the hinterland to collect intelligence.

And in the even more distant Cangxuan Star Domain, the Human Race's army is struggling to resist a hypocritical race that claims to be noble and frequently performs "Holy Purification" on other races—the Angel Race.

The Youming Star Domain is even more tragic; the enemies there are the Death Fiend Clan, who have no sense of pain, are proficient in Death Qi erosion, and can resurrect as long as there is a complete corpse on the battlefield.

The last star system of the Human Race—the Milky Way—is like a piece of delicious fat, being crazily torn apart by this group of alien races in the Universe.

This day.

The sun was bright, and the breeze was warm.

Su Wu was half-lying on a rattan chair in the courtyard of the villa, checking a Jade Slip with his Divine Thought.

"Creak."

The courtyard gate was pushed open.

Ouyang Qingtian was still wearing his signature moon-white Confucian robe, with a spring-breeze-like smile on his face, walking into the courtyard alone without any attendants.

"Clan Leader Ouyang."

Seeing this, Su Wu put down the Jade Slip and stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Su, no need for formalities."

The two walked to the giant ancient ginkgo tree in the courtyard.

Under the tree, stone tables and stools carved from warm jade had already been set up. Several graceful maids had already skillfully brewed a pot of top-grade spiritual tea emitting a refreshing and exotic fragrance, and then respectfully exited the courtyard.

The two took their seats as host and guest.

Ouyang Qingtian picked up the crystal-clear tea cup in front of him but did not rush to drink the tea.

With his deep eyes looking at the emerald green tea leaves swirling in the cup, he was the first to break the silence in the courtyard.

"Mr. Su, have you been living comfortably in this Qingyun Villa of my Ouyang Family for the past half month? If there is any lack of hospitality, please do not take offense." Ouyang Qingtian's voice was gentle, revealing a kind of concern that made people feel comfortable.

Su Wu smiled slightly, toasted with his tea cup, and nodded lightly:

"Clan Leader Ouyang has arranged everything so thoughtfully and meticulously. I am naturally very comfortable living in such a blessed land. Thank you, Clan Leader, for your many favors and conveniences over the past half month."

Hearing Su Wu's affirmation, Ouyang Qingtian took a sip of the spiritual tea and put down the tea cup.

"That's good." Ouyang Qingtian put his hands together on the stone table, looking directly at Su Wu, "Mr. Su, open people don't speak secret words. The infighting and conflicts of interest between my Ouyang Divine Clan and the Lin Divine Clan have existed for a long time. This time, they were so insane as to dare to intercept and kill our clan's Divine Child on the way. If this blood feud is not avenged, I, Ouyang Qingtian, am not worthy of being the leader of this branch!"

Ouyang Qingtian's tone was filled with a chilling murderous intent. Then, his tone changed, and he looked at Su Wu with burning eyes:

"The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend."

"Mr. Su also has a grudge against the Lin Clan. Since everyone has a common opponent, I, Ouyang Qingtian, today formally represent the Ouyang Divine Clan, and intend to win over Mr. Su... to become a distinguished Guest Elder of our clan!"
