Chapter 23 you are mine

Bai Feng's words opened up a new world for Su Yu.

Su Yu had so many questions to ask, so much to say.

However, before he could continue, Bai Feng smiled and said, "Do you want to keep asking these questions? My master let you come to me not to ask these simple, common knowledge questions. You'll know these things when you get to the academy."

Su Yu was slightly stunned. Yes, the assistant researcher's course fee of 5 merit points per hour, was it a waste to ask these questions?

Liu Yue, beside him, was a bit excited and softly asked, "Teacher Bai, can you teach us the inscription of divine texts with willpower?"

Su Yu was somewhat confused. What did that mean?

Liu Wenyan had not mentioned this to him, so he didn't understand what Liu Yue was talking about.

Bai Feng smiled.

"It seems you know, Su Yu. Didn't my master tell you?"

"No."

Su Yu said softly, "Teacher Bai, what is the inscription of divine texts with willpower?"

Bai Feng smiled faintly, "Divine texts are a general term, not specifically referring to the characters of the divine race, but to certain powerful characters from various races! People like us are called civilizers in the outside world."

"You have seen our battles before, but that is not our strongest way of fighting."

"Of course, your teacher's willpower has just manifested, so he's not yet familiar with this aspect."

So yesterday, Liu Wenyan chose the most brutal way to fight, using willpower.

"The inscription of divine texts with willpower is the most important and crucial course for you at the Civilization Academy!"

"Use your willpower to outline the characters you want, control them, nurture them! One day, when your willpower manifests and the divine text is complete, a single word can dominate all directions!"

"There are many divine texts, or rather, any character can become a divine text. You need to understand its meaning, use your own heart to comprehend, accept, nurture, and embrace it, even if you may never use it in your lifetime."

"A civilizer who has not inscribed their own divine text is not a qualified civilizer and is considered weak among civilizers."

Bai Feng looked at Su Yu and smiled, "Are you confused now?"

"A bit."

Su Yu felt awkward, as he really didn't understand this.

"When you go to the Civilization Academy, the general courses, including the study of various racial languages, are taught by some students."

"This is also a way for them to earn merit points, but the inscription and outlining of divine texts must be taught by civilizers with manifested willpower!"

"Your teacher might have mentioned that our lessons are expensive, and the key is actually here!"

After speaking, Bai Feng laughed and said, "Let me show you, and you'll understand."

As soon as he finished, Su Yu felt the air around him freeze.

The next moment, an invisible force erupted from Bai Feng.

In the air, a somewhat familiar character gradually took shape.

It was a character from the divine race!

Su Yu had learned the divine language, and he recognized it.

It was as if someone was invisibly writing in the air, and the character slowly formed.

"Gather"

Su Yu recognized it as "gather," though it was not a human character.

The character formed in the air, emitting a faint glow.

This was not the divine text Bai Feng had been nurturing, but one he outlined on the spot. The next moment, a strong wind arose!

Buzz!

The air vibrated, and the furniture around started shaking as if experiencing an earthquake.

"Zhù!"

Bai Feng uttered in a low voice, which was the pronunciation of "gather" in the divine language.

At this moment, Su Yu felt something different.

Liu Yue might not understand, but he did!

He felt it. Yuan Qi was gathering!

Because he had absorbed Yuan Qi before, those in the Kaiyuan stage couldn't sense Yuan Qi, but Su Yu had experienced it, so he felt the difference now.

Buzz!

The space continued to vibrate!

The next moment, Liu Yue exclaimed in surprise!

The surrounding Yuan Qi was drained, and in the blink of an eye, a drop of milky white liquid appeared in front of Bai Feng.

"Yuan Qi Liquid!"

Liu Yue was utterly shocked.

Su Yu had never seen Yuan Qi Liquid, but upon hearing this, he was also stunned.

Yuan Qi Liquid!

A drop of Yuan Qi Liquid worth 100,000 yuan, said to be condensed by Tengkong cultivators over three days.

In just that moment, it formed in front of him!

"The Yuan Qi in Nanyuan is too weak. This isn't exactly Yuan Qi Liquid, not a standard drop. It has about half the efficacy," Bai Feng exhaled slightly, looking a bit tired. "This isn't a divine text I nurtured. Human energy is limited, and one can't nurture too many divine texts. This was one I just outlined for demonstration."

"This is one of the miraculous uses of divine texts. When you discover that certain characters have mysterious effects, you can try to outline them."

"Of course, even if two people outline the same character, the effects might not be the same."

"I use this character to gather Yuan Qi; someone else might use it to kill."

"This is what being a civilizer means!"

Bai Feng smiled, took the formed Yuan Qi Liquid into his hand, put it into a jade bottle, and casually threw it to Su Yu.

Su Yu felt a bit at a loss, both excited and uneasy. "Teacher Bai, this... is too precious..."

Even if it wasn't as good as the original Yuan Qi Liquid, it still had most of its effect.

A drop of the original was worth 100,000 yuan, and this one was still worth fifty to sixty thousand.

"Take it. It's nothing special."

Bai Feng didn't mind and smiled faintly, "This was gathered at your Nanyuan Academy, using Nanyuan's Yuan Qi. If I took it, my master would come after me."

"It's a small matter. It might be helpful to you at the Kaiyuan stage, but for us, a drop of Yuan Qi Liquid doesn't change anything."

Bai Feng didn't dwell on this and continued, "Liu Yue asked me to teach you how to inscribe divine texts. This is actually beyond your current level because you're not very familiar with the various races' languages."

"Don't think that just because you know a dozen or twenty languages, you truly understand them. You haven't seen the originals, the texts written by those races themselves, the characters drawn by their strong individuals, so you can't clearly feel which characters have power."

"The same character, written by different people, by different strong individuals, will give you different feelings."

"So, the thoughts it brings you will also be different."

"When you read an original of the Thousand Jun level, you might think the character is nothing special. When you read a text of the Shanhai level, you might find it contains a lot of meaning and knowledge..."

Bai Feng looked at the two of them and said seriously, "Divine texts outlined by willpower, when nurtured to the extreme, can truly manifest in this world and become divine weapons!"

"At the Great Xia Civilization Academy, 180 years ago, the third principal fell and left behind a character from the demon race, 'War,' forming a special treasure ground at the academy — the War Demon Field!"

"The War Demon Field!"

Liu Yue exclaimed, and Su Yu felt genuinely useless and a bit frustrated for not knowing anything.

Bai Feng said solemnly, "Yes, this is the treasure ground of the Civilization Academy. The War Academy has always yearned to enter it for training. One character formed a small world, mainly suitable for training below the Tengkong stage."

"Actual combat training!"

"In the War Demon Field, a large number of demon soldiers, armies, and strong individuals are formed. You can experience a real killing environment, treating them as real demons. You can use your wisdom, your strength, to fight and prepare for future battles in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield."

"115 years ago, the fourth principal fell and left behind a character from the divine race, 'Yuan,' forming another treasure ground — the Yuan Qi Secret Realm, similar to the effect of my 'Gather' character, but it's a permanent existence, not a temporary one like mine."

"In the Yuan Qi Secret Realm, you can feel the dense Yuan Qi, speeding up your cultivation."

"There are many such treasure grounds in the Civilization Academy. Some were given to the War Academy of Great Xia Prefecture, and some were kept by the academy itself."

At this moment, Bai Feng seemed a bit longing and said softly, "One's energy is limited, and generally, you will primarily cultivate a divine text most suitable for you. The ultimate goal is to truly manifest and eternally inherit it!"

"Of course, you can outline many divine texts, both for combat and support, that's all fine."

"You will understand all this when you reach the Civilization Academy."

Bai Feng paused and continued, "Since you asked, I won't hold back. I said earlier you could ask anything. Today, I'll teach you how to outline divine texts. Just because you can write a character doesn't mean you can outline it."

"Before your willpower manifests, outlining divine texts isn't that simple. It's about meditative outlining, not actually writing it down..."

Su Yu's eyes brightened!

Outlining divine texts!

No wonder the teacher said Bai Feng's lessons were valuable and precious, now it made sense!

Even if Bai Feng didn't say it, he understood the difficulty, the great consumption of willpower. Bai Feng had just demonstrated, and now his face was a bit pale, evidently not as simple as it seemed.

"Your willpower is weak, and you can't completely outline a divine text right now. You can only outline a part, then meditate to perfect it..."

"You've learned many languages of the various races, but the most important is still the human language! The languages of the various races naturally include the characters of the human race. You're not very familiar with other characters, but you're most familiar with human characters. So, we'll start with human characters!"

"You haven't seen the characters written by strong individuals of the human race. Today, I'll write one for you!"

With that, Bai Feng waved his hand, and a piece of white paper appeared in the air.

Bai Feng didn't take a pen. He looked at the white paper and exhaled, "Words with true power are imbued with the power of will. Therefore, not just anyone can write them. Even some human cultivators at the Tengkong level cannot."

"What you're most familiar with is the 'Genesis Art'. Today, I will write the 'Genesis Art' for you!"

With that, Bai Feng reached out, not touching the paper directly but moving his hand in the air.

Golden light shimmered on his fingertips.

Su Yu once again felt the gathering of Yuan Qi and sensed the presence of willpower.

Bai Feng's expression was solemn, his fingers moved like a sword, slashing through the air.

"Genesis has nine apertures..."

As the first sentence was written, the white paper showed signs of crumbling, as if it couldn't bear the power of the words.

Golden light emanated from Bai Feng's hand, covering the paper and stabilizing it.

"The medium isn't strong enough to record powerful will-inscribed texts. However, this is just a demonstration. I will reduce the power. In the future, if you wish to record powerful techniques or scriptures, you'll need a special medium. You'll understand this yourselves later."

He continued writing. Sweat started beading on his forehead, wisps of white smoke rising as if he were burning.

"Don't look at me, look at the words I'm writing!"

Beside him, Liu Yue nodded hurriedly and quickly said to Su Yu, "Civilizer's will-inscribed texts, each word is worth a thousand gold!"

Su Yu also nodded hastily. Without needing to be told, he understood its preciousness.

Characters appeared one by one, sentences were written.

Su Yu stared, feeling as if the world was spinning.

It was different!

Completely different from the 'Genesis Art' he usually saw!

It was as if he wasn't looking at words but at a person, someone practicing the 'Genesis Art'—it was Bai Feng!

He was opening the nine apertures!

...

Outside the door.

Liu Wenyi smiled and murmured softly, "This kid... is really putting in the effort."

Writing will-inscribed texts, especially long ones... he couldn't do it.

If he could, he would've taught it himself.

Even now, with manifested willpower, he couldn't do it. He wasn't like Bai Feng. Bai Feng could write the 'Genesis Art,' while he might finish the first paragraph and be unable to continue, unable to complete a whole 'Genesis Art.'

Even though the 'Genesis Art' had few words, it was beyond him. Even though he had nurtured strong willpower over the years, he wasn't as weak as the average Tengkong Triple, he couldn't do it.

Bai Feng, at the Tengkong Sextuple level, was even vaguely promoting Tengkong Seventh.

Such a character was rare even in the Great Xia Civilization Academy, referring to the younger generation, those under 40.

In fact, Liu Wenyi had only tried, he never thought Bai Feng would use so much willpower to teach two little town geniuses.

In this matter, he didn't bring up.

Let Bai Feng relinquish his position, teaching students, and he couldn't force him to do so.

Write off will teach inscription divine require effort and something.

"Suyu, Liuyue, cherish this opportunity!"

With these quiet words, Liu Wenyi left quickly.

...

Inside the room.

Suyu was overwhelmed with excitement. For the first time, he clearly witnessed someone practicing the 'Genesis Art' in its interpreted version, inside out, gaining an incredibly thorough understanding.

So this was true guidance!

Compared to the pointers he received in the academy before, he now felt they were too crude.

Was this the power of a Civilizer?

At this moment, Suyu felt that if he were to activate the 'Nayuan Formula' again with his blood essence, its efficiency might increase by thirty percent!

No wonder the Civilization Academy could decipher techniques from various clans. If they all used this method to write, it would be too direct, too clear for strong cultivators to learn.

"Don't just observe the cultivation; observe the characters, observe their power! If you can feel which characters suit you, you can imagine, outline, and find your first suitable divine script!"

"I'm writing live, with the most active will. At this moment, your perception is at its clearest!"

Bai Feng didn't say it, but even in the Civilization Academy, not everyone had the chance to witness a strong cultivator writing will-inscribed texts live.

Often, they would study original texts of various clan techniques to find insights.

Normally, the delineation of divine scripts was done during the period of nurturing one's nature. If Suyu and the others enrolled, the key wouldn't be cultivation initially but mastering more clan languages. Therefore, they would still need several years before they could engage in delineating divine scripts.

Suyu stopped fantasizing and focused on the characters before him.

Each character seemed to brim with power yet remained elusive.

Suyu was dazzled, feeling a splitting headache, but he persisted in looking.

On the other hand, Liuyue was already drenched in sweat, her face pale.

Moments later, Liuyue looked defeated as she withdrew from observing the will-inscribed texts.

This time, although she felt the power within the text, she couldn't immerse herself as she did before.

"I... failed."

Liuyue sighed inwardly, not entirely disappointed. Her willpower was too weak, so it was normal to fail on her first attempt.

Turning her head, she saw Suyu also sweating profusely but still gazing intently. Liuyue was slightly surprised.

He was still looking?

Bai Feng continued to write, his face also pale but smiling.

Such tenacity!

He was writing the 'Genesis Art' on the spot, not because of Liuyue but because of Suyu.

This kid... he suddenly felt like he had discovered a real genius.

Talent wasn't the key; it was that spirit, that tenacity!

"Quickly find the character that feels most familiar to you. Hurry, capture it with your will!"

Upon hearing this, Liuyue trembled.

Could it be... Bai Lao Shi was laying the foundation for Suyu, laying the foundation for divine scripts!

Did she think Suyu could do it?

This was Suyu's first exposure; could he really lay the foundation the first time?

Impossible!

The first time was just about familiarity, how could...

While Liuyue was pondering, Suyu also felt Bai Feng's urgency. It seemed unbearable.

Without further thought, countless characters danced before his eyes. Suyu stared at one, gritted his teeth, and swiftly tried to capture it as Bai Feng instructed!

Simply put, he was imagining catching it out of thin air!

Grab that pulsating character!

"Grab it!"

"Quick!"

"Although I don't know if there will be such an opportunity again, this is free. Next time at the Civilization Academy, you might have to pay!"

"Grab it, quickly!"

Suyu was sweating all over. He didn't know it himself or sense it. There was only one thought: grab a character, otherwise, it would be a pity.

Just as Bai Feng was about to finish writing the last character, about to put the pen down, a buzzing sound echoed, and the white paper trembled.

Bai Feng focused his eyes, his expression changing!

"Strengthen their blood, refine their tendons and bones..."

In this sentence, the character "blood" dimmed, unlike the radiance of the other characters.

"He... succeeded?"

Bai Feng was somewhat stunned, turning to look at Suyu. He had succeeded on his first attempt!

He admitted that he was carrying some scrutiny and cherishing talent, so he spent a lot of effort writing the 'Genesis Art'.

With some hope, hoping that Suyu would succeed.

But he didn't expect that the other party would really succeed!

Heaven, are you kidding me?

"He himself is a genius. Upon his first enrollment, his willpower was filled to 20%, allowing him to directly observe the fragments of the 'Thousand Cun Origin.' Yet, it took him half a year to lay the basic foundation for delineating divine scripts.

His teacher personally inscribed the will for him six times before he succeeded; even that was considered genius. Now, this kid in front of me, on his first attempt, filled only 10%...

Is he even human?

How could such a guy appear in this small corner of Nan Yuan?

"Damn!"

Bai Feng cursed under his breath, his gaze turning somewhat peculiar. I've discovered a genius!

No, I've personally nurtured a genius!

"Damn, no one knows! He's only filled 10%, but when he gets to Daxia Prefecture, it won't be worth mentioning! But no one knows he's already captured divine scripts and laid the foundation for them!"

Bai Feng's eyes flickered. At this moment, Suyu was already deep in meditation, caught in a struggle between heaven and man.

After pondering for a moment, Bai Feng looked at Liuyue and smiled, "You should go back first. You must be tired today. Rest and recover, you can come again tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master Bai."

Liuyue was indeed tired but couldn't help glancing at Suyu before leaving. Bai Feng chuckled, "It's his first contact, he hasn't recovered yet. He just needs some rest."

Liuyue couldn't tell that Suyu had already captured the divine script, nor did she think much about it. She just felt that Suyu really had no pain tolerance. After thanking Bai Feng, she left.

Once she was gone, Bai Feng looked at Suyu, who was deep in meditation, grinning broadly.

"I hit the jackpot!"

"Damn!"

"Teacher, in this small corner of Nan Yuan, I've actually found a genius who captured divine scripts on his first attempt!"

"Should I take him as my student ahead of time?"

"No, I found him, and I'm a researcher... Damn, what if I take him as my student?"

"Can I get promoted?"

"Of course, provided this kid can quickly reach the nurturing stage, maybe even manifest!"

"I'm a Civilizer at the Tengkong Sixth Stage, taking on a normal student with only 10% willpower—any objections?"

"Definitely not!"

"Damn, I'm a genius! I hit the jackpot!"

Bai Feng grinned widely, knowing Suyu couldn't see him. At this moment, Bai Feng felt like he was blossoming with joy.

What an unexpected harvest! Kid, you're mine now!

Whether you can get promoted depends entirely on you, kid!
