Chapter 208: Seventy‑Two Transformations, Infiltrating Leopard City!
The Ten Thousand Tribes Battlefield, in the wilderness.
Strong auras burst across the entire wilderness.
Four or five Ten Thousand Tribes strongmen resembling elephants were seen besieging a Human Race youth.
Each of those Elephant Tribe strongmen possessed the Golden Body Great Perfection cultivation.
One of them even had half a foot stepping into the Flying Heaven Realm.
Facing the joint assault of the four or five Elephant Tribe strongmen, the youth showed no sign of panic on his face.
Only a calm expression.
Boom—boom—boom!!!
On the battlefield, bursts of roaring explosions erupted like fireworks blooming on flat ground.
Streams of Spiritual Qi turned into sharp blades, continuously tearing everything apart.
In a roar, a jet of pitch‑black blade energy instantly burst forth.
The blade energy, crescent‑shaped like a new moon, ripped and shattered the world around it.
"Human Race, you actually dare to penetrate the battlefield—seeking death!"
An Elephant Tribe strongman snarled and launched attack after attack.
Yet the pitch‑black blade energy, like lightning, was so fast that the Elephant Tribe strongman couldn't even react before being instantly killed.
Even as his corpse separated, his expression was one of disbelief.
The leading Elephant Tribe strongman, already at half‑step Flying Heaven Realm, had his pupils suddenly flash.
"Brothers, retreat—this move is a trap!"
He roared, smashed the sky‑full of blade energy with a single fist, and prepared to lead his brothers away.
He had originally hoped to encounter a Human Race Golden Body and savor their flesh, but when he saw his companion instantly killed, fear seized him.
Know that his companion possessed the Golden Body Great Perfection; even he could only defeat such a foe, not kill them.
The person before him could actually kill in an instant.
Anyone who can survive in the Ten Thousand Tribes Battlefield isn't a fool; they flee the moment something feels off.
In this battlefield's meat grinder, without a hint of cleverness one would be dead, not even a scrap left.
The youth noticed the Elephant Tribe's voice and a slight smile curled his lips.
The youth sneered, "Now you think to run? Too late!"
A pitch‑black blade appeared in the youth's hand, accompanied by his low shout.
"Double Thunder Demon Slash!"
Boom—boom—boom!!!
Thunder cracked, with snarling arcs of lightning leaping over the black blade energy.
It seemed to become the weapon of the Grim Reaper.
It brutally slashed all the fleeing Elephant Tribe strongmen.
Fresh blood and flesh spread across the whole land.
One could even see the mushy meat smeared over the wilderness ground.
With a swift reach, the youth gathered the inner pills of several Elephant Tribe strongmen into his hand.
At that moment, a Little Green Dragon crawled out of the youth's pocket, its fiery eyes fixed on the inner pill in his hand.
"Want… want to eat!"
A childish syllable rang out.
The youth patted the Little Green Dragon's head and handed it an inner pill.
This person was none other than Su Yu.
It has been three days since leaving Crouching Dragon City, fully beyond its bounds.
Following Li Zhangsheng's orders, Su Yu marched eastward, unaware where the road would end.
Li Zhangsheng, meanwhile, vanished somewhere; only Su Yu and the Little Green Dragon remained on the journey.
Along the way, Su Yu slew countless Ten Thousand Tribes strongmen, amassing over twenty Golden Body Realm inner pills alone.
He also possessed two or three Flying Heaven Realm pills.
As for Organ Tempering Realm, it was even more abundant.
The Ten Thousand Tribes Battlefield had become Su Yu's treasure trove for frantic resource plundering.
Of course, danger still arose.
Just yesterday, a Grand Master‑level Ten Thousand Tribes strongman spotted Su Yu; had Su Yu not been wearing a defensive Spiritual Artifact, he would have absorbed that Grand Master's full‑force strike.
Li Zhangsheng didn't even have time to rescue him.
At that moment Su Yu was filled with lingering dread.
From then on Su Yu moved cautiously; even when forced to face Ten Thousand Tribes strongmen, he resolved the fight swiftly and left.
Now Su Yu is a frantic wanderer, far from the previous battlefield.
After wandering more than ten kilometers, Su Yu finally slowed and found a hiding spot.
He then used a Synthesis Slot to forge a Bright Moon Grand Master Realm inner pill.
The inner pill shimmered with crystalline radiance, and Su Yu swallowed it in one gulp.
Explosive energy coursed through Su Yu's body like a raging river, instantly filling him entirely.
A faint heat rippled throughout Su Yu.
In the next instant, a white‑jade Golden Body manifested behind him, emitting a soft hum.
Boom!
From Su Yu's body, a strong surge burst forth.
Seven Revolutions Peak!
After consuming an inner elixir of Bright Moon Grand Master rank, Su Yu's cultivation finally broke through.
Directly from mid-stage, he leapt to the peak.
He surpassed the late stage.
Su Yu's eyes lit up.
"If I consume another Bright Moon Grand Master inner elixir, I can break through the seventh revolution and advance to the eighth!"
In fact, judging by the inner elixirs gathered from the myriad races' strong ones Su Yu has slain these past days, he could completely synthesize another Great Sun Grand Master inner elixir.
But don't forget, beside Su Yu there is also a little azure dragon.
This guy's gold‑swallowing speed is not at all inferior to Su Yu's.
In just three days, he swallowed more than ten or twenty Golden Body Realm inner elixirs, and also swallowed one Flying Heaven Realm inner elixir.
Of course, the little azure dragon's cultivation rose directly from the Flawless Golden Body Seventh Revolution to the Flawless Golden Body Great Perfection realm.
Its combat power is comparable to an early Flying Heaven Realm expert, matching Su Yu's strength.
Su Yu estimates that if he teamed up with the little azure dragon, even a mid‑stage Flying Heaven Realm opponent could be fought.
Of course, that's just a single battle.
After all, upon reaching the Flying Heaven Realm, even the gap between early and mid stage is comparable to the difference between one and three revolutions of the Arhat Golden Body.
Being able to fight one battle is already quite good.
Individually, either Su Yu or the little azure dragon possesses the strength to kill an early Flying Heaven Realm expert.
"It still has to be on the Myriad Races battlefield; if it were in Qianlong Academy, one might not even be able to survive."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
After all, the spiritual qi density on the Myriad Races battlefield is something Qianlong City cannot compare to.
The Myriad Races' territory occupies far too many places of spiritual excellence.
The breakthrough in cultivation increased Su Yu's confidence a bit; he walked out slowly, glanced at the heavens, and spoke loudly.
"Master Li, how much longer?"
Su Yu has been constantly rushing; aside from unavoidable stops, the rest of the time he has been on the road.
With Su Yu's cultivation, he can run several thousand kilometers in a day.
After three days, even if it's not ten thousand kilometers, it's still eight or nine thousand, yet he still hasn't reached the end.
It must be said, the expanse of the Myriad Races continent is truly vast.
Even this far, he hasn't left the Myriad Races battlefield; he's still deep in the abyss, in the wilderness.
From the heavens above came a faint voice.
"You haven't even left the Myriad Races battlefield—what are you panicking about?"
"I estimate there are still five or six days left for you to exit the Myriad Races battlefield; once you do, you'll be even closer to the east!"
Above the nine heavens, Li Zhangsheng lay on the clouds, leisurely sipping a fine wine, and said lightly.
Su Yu felt helpless, gazing at the boundless wilderness, regretting his promise to Zhao Tianxing, but there was nothing else he could do.
Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
A weathered figure appeared in the wilderness.
Originally clean and unwrinkled, his clothes had become dusty.
It was none other than Su Yu.
At this moment, Su Yu stood in the wilderness, and not far ahead—just one or two kilometers away—rose a towering curtain of light.
Through that curtain, one could see a splendid city standing silently dozens of kilometers beyond it.
Moreover, one could feel terrifying auras emanating from beyond the curtain.
Just as Su Yu was about to speak, a sword qi turned into a rope, hoisting him up to the nine heavens.
Li Zhangsheng's expression grew slightly solemn.
"Did you see that light curtain?"
Su Yu nodded.
"Beyond that curtain lies the domain of the Myriad Races; this is the Leopard Race's territory. Among the Myriad Races continent, the Leopard Race is considered second‑tier, yet a King‑Conferred Strong One holds sway there."
"In the Myriad Races continent, each race sets up formations; only those with the race's bloodline may enter, otherwise they are repelled by the formation."
"Soon the one controlling the formation will notice, so we cannot go; we should detour."
"Because even I, if I wanted to enter, could not reveal any aura, which means I cannot act."
"Just detour!"
Li Zhangsheng said lightly.
"Bloodline?"
Su Yu froze, then gave Li Zhangsheng a strange look.
"I can!"
Li Zhangsheng retorted angrily.
"What nonsense, you are human, your blood is human blood—how could you possibly!"
Su Yu felt helpless, then explained the effects of the Thirty‑Six Transformations to Li Zhangsheng.
Li Zhangsheng's expression turned odd; he looked at Su Yu, as if doubting himself.
"Do humans have such a martial technique?"
Li Zhangsheng, ranked second among Grand Masters, has seen countless martial techniques, yet never heard of one that devours essence and blood to transform into another race.
If one could have such a martial technique, wouldn't it be, for the Human Race, practically a weapon for murder and arson?
Su Yu gave a dry laugh.
Joking, the martial technique produced from the Synthesis Slot definitely doesn't exist in Daxia.
After all, this thing is high-end goods.
"Teacher Li, just watch."
Subsequently, at Su Yu's request, Li Zhangsheng placed Su Yu in a position near the light curtain.
Around the light curtain, there were many Leopard Clan experts, after all, it was Leopard Clan territory, and still required many soldiers for scouting.
Su Yu hid cautiously in a thicket.
Observing the coming and going Leopard Clan experts.
Soon, he encountered a lone Leopard Clan Golden Body; Su Yu cautiously followed, spreading his perception.
After sensing no other Leopard Clan experts nearby, Su Yu's figure instantly turned into a bolt of lightning, charging toward that Leopard Clan Golden Body.
And the Leopard Clan Golden Body's reaction was also very quick; just as Su Yu was about to approach, it finally noticed a hint of something wrong.
He hastily shouted loudly.
"Who goes there!"
Su Yu, however, gave him no chance at all, instantly striking out as terrifying Spiritual Qi surged wildly in and out.
The little azure dragon in his pocket was like a blue flash of lightning, instantly arriving at the Leopard Clan expert's throat.
Its petite form swelled in an instant, and in one gulp it devoured the Leopard Clan's Golden Body.
Then it spat out a drop of crimson essence blood, which hung silently in midair.
Su Yu hesitated not, swallowing that essence blood in one gulp.
The Thirty-Six Changes cycled instantly, and a foreign memory flooded Su Yu's mind.
After Su Yu finished clearing the memory fragments, he opened his eyes, his expression turning somewhat strange.
"It shouldn't be this much of a coincidence, right?"
At that moment, Li Zhangsheng appeared before Su Yu unknown when, looking at Su Yu's appearance, he couldn't help but say.
"Can your martial technique be passed on? It's practically identical to that Leopard Clan expert just now—even your cultivation level is the same, your bloodline... hiss, it's actually Leopard Clan bloodline."
Li Zhangsheng was greatly shocked.
You must know he has been a Great Sun Grand Master for many years, having seen many strange and wondrous things, yet a method capable of changing race—this is the first time he's witnessed it.
Su Yu hurriedly said.
"According to this guy's memory, the city before us is one of the Leopard Clan's territories; since it's not the Leopard Clan's center, there is only one Marquis-level Expert holding the fort, five Great Sun Grand Masters, ten Bright Moon Grand Masters, and as for the number of Star Ancestor Masters, there might be twenty or thirty."
"And in his memory, in a few days a secret realm seems destined to surface, at which time the heaven-chosen prodigies of the cities surrounding the Leopard Clan will all come."
Li Zhangsheng said in astonishment.
"This guy knows quite a lot; his identity is probably not simple."
"This guy..."
Su Yu fell silent for a moment, then forced himself to speak.
"This guy is the city lord's son."
As he spoke, Su Yu's expression became unusually strange.
Earlier, in Wolf City, the person I casually killed was the Wolf City lord's son; and now, the Leopard Clan expert I casually killed turns out to be the Leopard City lord's son.
My own luck really is screwed.
Li Zhangsheng fell silent for a moment.
"Your luck... the Leopard City lord is probably that Marquis, right? With your cultivation, you'd easily be discovered; otherwise we should detour."
Su Yu struggled a bit, speaking frankly, he really didn't want to detour, after all, in that guy's memory there is still a major event about to happen in Leopard City, and Su Yu also wants to get involved.
"Actually, that Leopard City lord has been in seclusion for years; if there's no major affair, he won't emerge, so we only need to conceal ourselves from those Great Sun Grand Masters."
Su Yu gritted his teeth, then looked at Li Zhangsheng and said.
"Teacher, do you have any martial techniques of sixth level or above?"
"Yes, what do you intend to do with them?"
Li Zhangsheng looked at Su Yu in surprise.
Su Yu fell silent for a moment, speaking frankly, he didn't want to expose the existence of the Synthesis Slot, but the temptation before him was simply too great.
In his memory, the secret realm about to surface could be a Marquis-level secret realm; if one could obtain its resources, perhaps one could break through to the Flying Heaven Realm.
However, before Su Yu could even speak, Li Zhangsheng gave him a deep look, then produced three sixth-level martial techniques.
"Here, take them."
He patted Su Yu on the shoulder.
"Rest assured, I'm not about to covet my student's secrets; you have your secrets, I have mine. Anyone without secrets isn't truly human."
"Go ahead and do it; when the time comes, I'll sneak in quietly. If you face any danger, even if it means risking being hunted by the Leopard Clan, I'll intervene."
Li Zhangsheng said this, then vanished between heaven and earth.
Su Yu looked at the three martial techniques in his hand, feeling slightly moved in his heart.
Afterwards, Su Yu found a concealed spot and summoned the Synthesis Slot.
Then he placed two sixth-level martial techniques inside, performed the synthesis, and produced a seventh-level martial technique.
Afterwards, he also took out the Thirty-Six Changes, and placed the remaining sixth-level martial technique into another slot. jj. br>
"Synthesize!"
A flash of golden light sparkled. "Thirty-Six Changes (Revised): Seventh-level martial technique, swallow essence blood to assume the form of the essence blood's owner, lasting one week, cannot be seen through unless exceeding three major realms."
"Thirty-six Changes (Revised): Seventh-level Martial Technique, after consuming essence blood, can transform into the appearance of the essence blood's owner, lasting one week; cannot be seen through unless surpassing three major realms!"
"Not enough yet!"
Su Yu murmured softly.
Surpassing myself by three major realms, that is the realm of Bright Moon Grand Master.
But what I want is a martial technique capable of hiding from the investigation of a Great Sun Grand Master expert.
After pondering a moment, Su Yu continued to place the Thirty-Six Changes (modified) into the Synthesis Slot, then placed the already synthesized seventh-rank martial technique into another slot.
"Synthesize!"
Golden light flickered, a book quietly appeared.
"Seventy-Two Changes (fragment): eighth-rank martial technique, consume essence blood, can transform into the appearance of the essence blood's owner, can obtain the essence blood owner's talent, duration one week, cannot be seen through unless surpassing four major realms."
Looking at the introduction of Seventy-Two Changes, Su Yu's eyes lit up.
Good fellow, although it's only a fragment of Seventy-Two Changes, it's already an eighth-rank martial technique; you know eighth-rank martial techniques are treasures that Marquis-level experts fight over.
Moreover, one can also obtain the talent of the essence blood's owner, that is, the talent martial techniques of myriad-race experts; this further aids Su Yu in concealing his identity.
Furthermore, it allows hiding investigation across four realms; for Su Yu now, it's undoubtedly the best method.
Su Yu calmed his mind and began cultivating Seventy-Two Changes.
After all, it's a martial technique synthesized from the Synthesis Slot, extremely suited to Su Yu; in just an hour or two, Su Yu had successfully cultivated it.
Refining essence blood, Su Yu's appearance changed again.
At this moment, Li Zhangsheng, who was still above the nine heavens, his expression changed slightly; he suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward Su Yu's direction.
Yet he saw a Leopard Clan expert, under the shroud of soul power, actually could not detect Su Yu's presence!
"Hiss, this guy's secret is truly terrifying!"
Li Zhangsheng sucked in a breath of cold air; himself, a peak Great Sun Grand Master, second existence on the Grand Master Ranking, actually couldn't detect 【it】.
One cannot deny Su Yu's secret is truly terrifying.
Li Zhangsheng hesitated a moment, then left his own soul imprint on Su Yu's body.
"If I don't leave something on you, I'm afraid I won't even know who you are!"
Li Zhangsheng sighed, then sank into the cloud layer, following Su Yu, walking toward the light curtain.
