Chapter 5: Dream Realm

He didn’t find a suitable method to increase cultivation speed in the library, but Su Yu wasn’t disappointed.

If it was so commonplace, the school would have mentioned it.

He had merely hoped just in case, but the truth proved that he had overthought things. Since this was the case, he could only continue to cultivate the [Origin Opening Art] assiduously.

…

He ate his lunch in school. After that, when he returned home at night and saw the empty house, Su Yu fell silent.

His father was not around and the atmosphere at home instantly became much colder.

In the past when he returned home from school, his father would have finished cooking and waited for him to eat together. Now that the house was so empty, Su Yu was a little unused to it.

As Su Yu wasn’t in the mood to cook, he leaned against the sofa and turned on the television. He then fell into a daze, and the television’s sounds filled the background.

There weren’t many channels to surf on the television.

In the Great Xia Prefecture, one could at most search for the Great Xia Television Station and very few other channels.

Because of the Allskies Battlefield and other battlefields’ influence, the signal coverage was very weak and it was hard to broadcast stuff. So usually, one would only be able to search for channels that were specific to the prefecture they were in.

“Recently, the Great Xia Prefecture has discovered some traces of the All-Races Sect. If you discover any suspicious characters, please report them to your local Windarrest Hall in a timely manner…”

“Trash!”

After hearing the news report, Su Yu couldn’t help but scold in a low voice.

A bunch of trash!

When the War of All Skies erupted, although the human race could block enemy races, the human race wasn’t considered too powerful among the myriad races. Hence, there would always be some trash that had different intentions during such a time, choosing to surrender and ally themselves with other races.

The All-Races Sect wasn’t a sect. Rather, it was a group of human trash that had submitted to different races.

These people gathered together and created chaos among humans.

Su Yu was influenced by his father from a young age, so he was filled with extreme loathing for trash like these people.

He lifted his head and looked at the television. At this moment, a middle-aged man with a squarish face, who was clad in red battle robes, had a demeanor that made him seem imposing without being angry. He appeared on the television screen.

This middle-aged man had a cold and stern look on his face. His voice was like ice as he hollered, “Behead!”

Pu!

At the next instant, over a hundred people knelt on the ground on the television screen. Behind them, a group of armored guards chopped down with their blades and instantly severed their heads.

“Everyone from the All-Races Sect will be killed each time we catch one!”

The middle-aged man was incomparably cold. His vision swept forward and his aura was so great that it seemed like he could walk out from the television screen. He icily spoke, “Daring to come to my Great Xia means death to all of you! From today onward, the Longwu Guards will patrol the Great Xia Prefecture and clean the trash of the All-Races Sect. If you guys are not afraid of death, don’t leave the Great Xia Prefecture. I want to see how many dog heads we can behead!”

On the sofa, Su Yu suddenly felt a little excited.

Xia Longwu.

The prefecture lord of Great Xia!

As for the beheading incident, he wasn’t bothered. Everyone was used to it as there would frequently be such scenes appearing on television. The only method humans used to deal with the All-Races Sect was beheading after capturing them. They would behead people to the extent where no one dared to rebel anymore. This government policy was enforced extremely strictly.

Public executions could awe and shock everyone, causing those who had such thoughts to discard them.

However, Su Yu didn’t care about this. What he cared about was Xia Longwu.

This Great Xia Prefecture Lord was extremely overbearing and powerful.

20 years ago, this prefecture lord commanded the devil suppression army, the army Su Yu’s father was in, on the Allskies Battlefield. He was none other than Su Long’s top superior.

During these years, every time Su Long saw Xia Longwu appearing, he would be incomparably excited and drag Su Yu along, pointing to the television as he said, “This is your father’s old leader. Back then, he swept unchallenged through the Allskies Battlefield; no one could stand against him. He slaughtered the army from the myriad races so badly that they discarded their armor and fled…”

As time passed, even Su Yu was somewhat influenced. He felt a little worship toward this expert who could slaughter out a path of blood in the Allskies Battlefield.

“When can I ever…become as strong as the Great Xia Prefecture Lord? How good would that be?!”

Su Yu felt some yearning.

This was a true expert. Currently, none of the prefecture lords were weak.

However, Xia Longwu was considered someone who stood at the peak among the prefecture lords. But the main point wasn’t this. Su Yu had no idea who the strongest prefecture lord was, but he knew that Xia Longwu wasn’t considered old. He was merely 60 plus.

The other prefecture lords, for example, the powerful Zhou Potian from the Great Zhou Prefecture was a character from the time when Anping was founded. This meant that Zhou Potian was already over 300 years old.

20 years ago, Xia Longwu was merely 40 plus years old, yet he already controlled the devil suppression army. This was the part of which Su Yu was most envious.

How strong!

Merely 40+ in age. In this era, that was considered extremely young.

How much strength did one need to control the devil suppression army?

Su Yu didn’t know this, but he knew that Xia Longwu was extremely impressive. This position wasn’t something he had obtained just because his grandfather was the Great Xia King. Among the prefecture lords were the sons of the various kings who had founded their respective prefectures, but they weren’t so powerful.

“Xia Longwu.”

“Longwu War Academy!”

“Longwu Guards!”

Su Yu licked his lips and his throat felt a little parched. After all, for young people, who hadn’t felt hotblooded before?

Had he never thought of joining a war academy?

He naturally had!

There were many high-grade war academies in the Great Xia Prefecture. Among them, the Great Xia War Academy had a history of over 300 years. This was the oldest and strongest war academy in the Great Xia Prefecture.

However, right now there was another peak-grade war academy in Great Xia.

The Longwu War Academy!

This was a war academy named after Xia Longwu and founded 15 years ago. In the short span of 15 years, it became one of the highest-graded academies in the Great Xia Prefecture.

Moreover, more than half of the graduates from that place joined the strongest army in the Great Xia Prefecture – Longwu Guards!

It was said that the Nanyuan City Lord had come from the Longwu Guards. From this, one could see how extraordinary that army was.

Although his father Su Long was from the devil suppression army, he had wanted to join the Longwu Guards after he retired and continue to follow his old leader. Sadly, the Longwu Guards didn’t accept him.

He was too old and too weak. Hence, they didn’t want him.
