Chapter 64

Then his standing in everyone's eyes would instantly plummet ten thousand fathoms.

But now, things are different!

A legendary-tier cultivation art is laid out right before him.

This means that from now on, no matter when, he will always possess legendary-tier combat power!

Although a lord requires three times the experience a hero does to level up,

a lord can resurrect upon death — unless the lord crystal is breached!

This means Su Yu can push his growth potential to its absolute limit, with no fear of an early fall!

In the future, he is bound to become a truly resounding great figure!

Everyone in the Blue Star Alliance was utterly dumbfounded.

Their hearts were filled with sourness, jealousy, and envy all at once.

This sour taste was even more mouth-puckering than eating every single orange off an entire orange tree.

Ajiesen especially —

back when he had squeezed Su Yu out, causing Su Yu to lose a rare-tier cultivation art,

he had never imagined that Su Yu could actually obtain a legendary-tier cultivation art now...

This truly left him bitter to his core and utterly miserable.

He had been constantly wondering whether Su Yu would harbor a grudge,

constantly pondering what sort of opportunity he should find to go and apologize to Su Yu.

Small figures always find themselves trying to read the minds of great figures.

Just like Su Yu right now, who cannot fathom what the white-haired old man is thinking.

Trying to trade with a newly ascended lord like him for something from the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield —

such trades can only happen between lords of the same generation.

No matter who this old man is trying to support, Su Yu has no intention of handing over the Cloud Heaven Demon Flame Bow.

The mood on the scene fell into silence once more.

The crowd watched the silent Su Yu, their faces full of doubt and astonishment.

The ruler of Blue Star Nation even hurriedly and discreetly nudged Su Yu with the back of his heel.

You didn't want the rare-tier cultivation art —

and now a legendary cultivation art is placed right before you.

Aren't you going to seize the opportunity?

In everyone's eyes, Su Yu had never practiced any cultivation art.

Cultivation arts are what lords practice, and the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield rarely provides a way to obtain them.

Many lords acquired theirs from their original worlds.

They then undergo certification by the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, which recognizes the cultivation system, allowing them to gain experience and raise their levels.

"I'm very sorry. I am quite fond of my bow."

The sound of a polite refusal rang out.

It stunned a swath of jaws so thoroughly they dropped to the floor.

No way — he actually turned it down?!

Gu Gu Linger could scarcely believe her ears;

her beautiful eyes went wide, enormously wide.

The Lord of Blue Star stood rigid,

the Queen of Moon Star looked utterly lost,

the newly appointed lords present were absolutely silent, every one of them stunned.

Even the important figures who had accompanied the white-haired elder behind him all wore expressions of shock.

At that moment,

the calmest person there was, paradoxically, a little slip of a girl, the shortest one in the room.

Bai Bai Xiaowei's gaze stayed composed, and she found it all rather amusing.

A legendary-grade cultivation method —

and he thought he could buy off Su Shen with that?

It was the sheerest fantasy.

Having spent so long around Su Yu's territory, Bai Bai Xiaowei had always felt that the word "legendary"… just sounded a little shabby.

The white-haired elder's eyes chilled a fraction.

It had been a very, very long time since anyone had refused him.

Then, abruptly, he let out a rueful laugh, the coldness in his gaze vanishing completely.

"Keep striving. You are all the future of our human race."

With that, he gave Su Yu a pat on the shoulder, then turned and departed.

The whole retinue of dignitaries left alongside the white-haired elder,

and only then did the long-frozen atmosphere in the hall begin to thaw.

"Damn, Su Yu — how could you refuse?"

"Seriously, how do you turn down even a legendary-grade cultivation method?"

"Don't tell me you want an epic-grade one? Isn't that pure wishful thinking!"

"Earlier you turned down a rare-grade method from the Lord, too… and now you reject a legendary one. That's beyond insane."

"You wouldn't be hung up on that epic-grade bow, would you?"

"An epic-grade bow isn't invincible, you know. The level's low and it has no growth potential to speak of."

"Who knows, in a few years it might be completely obsolete."

"Think long-term — a legendary-grade cultivation method will benefit you for life."

The people from Blue Star were all talking over one another, everyone giving their piece,

and every word was steeped in regret.

Each of them wished they could turn into Su Yu on the spot and accept that legendary cultivation method in his stead.

The bewilderment in the Moon Star Queen's eyes cleared, turning into something much stranger.

She stared at Su Yu as if she were looking at a ghost —

this "hope of Blue Star"… how was he not getting it? Was he an absolute idiot?

Or just impossibly arrogant?

When she thought back to how the Moon Star Alliance's new lords had lost their qualifications because of something as trivial as one farmer's blunder,

it only made it harder for her to make sense of Su Yu —

no matter how wildly arrogant a man might be, surely he wouldn't be arrogant in the face of a legendary cultivation method, would he?

She should know — she herself and the Lord of Blue Star both cultivated only rare-grade methods.

And after withdrawing from the Myriad Worlds Battlefield, trapped in this space universe of stars where cultivation was impossible, their strength could no longer advance.

Now, with a legendary cultivation method set right before them,

it was no exaggeration to say it could entirely help Blue Star rise up within the solar system — no, within the entire Milky Way!

Even if Su Yu's lord career never advanced to a particularly high level of cultivation,

his actual combat power would still become absolutely extraordinary!

Comparing like for like against a rare-grade method, a legendary method doubles your fighting strength!

That doubling of combat power meant his effective power would increase exponentially!

"This… Su Yu, why did you refuse?"

The Lord of Blue Star, still dazed, asked Su Yu.

In his mind, this was no longer simply a matter of short-sighted versus far-sighted.

Comparisons like "a swallow's view versus a swan's" didn't even capture it anymore —

this was practically a problem with basic intelligence!
