"Moonlight!"
The huge Iron-Winged Bird screeched, clearer than in the previous dreams. At this moment, its appearance could be seen clearly.
This time, the dream was a bit different. At the moment, a huge drop of golden blood was suspended in the dream. That was the essence blood of the Iron-Winged Bird.
The Iron-Winged Bird that had been chasing Su Yu seemed to be drawn by something.
The next moment, its eyes looked at the golden blood, a bit bewildered.
Soon, the Iron-Winged Bird gave up chasing Su Yu and flew towards the golden blood in the void.
The Iron-Winged Bird flew faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it reached the golden blood. Then with a screech, it swallowed the essence blood in one gulp.
Boom!
At this moment, the Iron-Winged Bird was like a golden sun, bursting out with brilliant light that illuminated the whole dream.
At this moment, Su Yu also looked at the Iron-Winged Bird expectantly. What would happen next?
The essence blood really worked!
Just as he was thinking, the next moment, the Iron-Winged Bird suddenly grew bigger and bigger, as if it was about to explode.
Su Yu's face changed. Sure enough, with a loud rumble, the dream began to collapse. The Iron-Winged Bird exploded into countless golden light spots and disappeared in the dream in the blink of an eye. Su Yu was also torn apart by this explosion.
In the last instant of the dream, a huge book that covered the sky suddenly appeared.
The book quickly flipped through its pages. The other pages were all blank. Soon, the page flipped to one, and the golden light spots of the Iron-Winged Bird merged into it, instantly lighting up this page. A pattern of an Iron-Winged Bird appeared on the page.
The dream ended here, and Su Yu woke up instantly.
...
"Hiss!"
Pain, the pain of his head splitting, his whole body was in pain, as if he had really been torn apart just now.
Su Yu woke up.
At this moment, Su Yu's eyes flickered. The dream had been deciphered.
At this moment, a faintly visible book emerged in his mind.
The book that appeared in the dream!
"The dream turns into reality..."
Su Yu's expression was a bit solemn. After so many years, deciphering the dream should have been a happy thing, but why did this dream turn into reality?
The book that had absorbed the light spots of the Iron-Winged Bird actually emerged in his mind at this moment.
Was it a virtual image, or was there really a book in his head?
Su Yu visualized the book in his head. With a thought, the next moment, the book began to flip through its pages. Soon, the page reached the one lit up by the Iron-Winged Bird.
"Iron-Winged Bird (Qian Jun Seventh Level):
Race Skills: Tear Level One (Activated by Essence Blood), Iron Wing Slash (Activated by Essence Blood)
Basic Yuan Art: Absorb Yuan (Activated by Essence Blood)"
There were only these three short lines, and it wasn't in the language of the human race but in the writing of the Iron-Winged Bird race.
If Su Yu hadn't learned it, he probably wouldn't have been able to understand it at all.
"Qian Jun Seventh Level... Race Skills, Basic Yuan Art..."
Su Yu frowned. What was this book?
This so-called "Activated by Essence Blood", literally, it needed to continue to absorb essence blood. Activate... Activate what?
Activate skills?
Qian Jun Seventh Level, it should be that the essence blood absorbed before was from an Iron-Winged Bird at the Qian Jun Seventh Level. That was easy to understand.
What did the rest represent?
Su Yu's mind spun rapidly. "Could it be that as long as I have enough essence blood, I can activate the skills of the Iron-Winged Bird?"
"After activating the skills, can I use them?"
"Even if I can use them, what level of strength can I exert? Kaiyuan Third Level or Qian Jun Seventh Level?"
"How long can it be maintained? Will there be any after-effects?"
"Where did this book come from?"
Su Yu's eyes kept flickering. This dream had started more than a decade ago. Could it be that this book had been in his mind more than a decade ago?
Who put it in his head?
Was there any conspiracy?
There were many powerful races among the myriad races of the Heavens. Could it be a conspiracy of a certain race, wanting to use him to create chaos within the human race?
Su Yu had to think this way!
Some of the races among the myriad races of the Heavens were very insidious. Such things had happened to the human race. Many powerful human beings had been assassinated, influenced by the myriad races of the Heavens, bewitched, tempted, and finally became members of the Myriad Races Cult.
"However, the human race has over ten billion people. I'm just an ordinary one. Even if they wanted to bewitch someone, they wouldn't have to plot against me for more than a decade, would they?"
Su Yu was still puzzled, and then he couldn't help but feel a bit excited.
Should he give it a try?
Also, this book felt very thick. Only one page had been opened now. Did that mean that other pages could also be opened?
Just as he was thinking, Su Yu suddenly felt a faint fluctuation.
The next moment, Su Yu suddenly understood. The fluctuation came from the pages of the book. It wasn't in words but a kind of fluctuation similar to a mental explanation.
"It can be opened. As long as it's a race that I've dreamed of, finding the corresponding essence blood can open it. However, I'm only at the Kaiyuan Realm now, so when swallowing essence blood, I have to consider my body's tolerance..."
Su Yu understood. For example, he felt his body was in a terrible state and in great pain now, just from swallowing the essence blood of an Iron-Winged Bird at the Qian Jun Seventh Level.
If it were the essence blood of a Wan Shi Realm being swallowed, Su Yu might be either dead or severely disabled.
"Got it!"
Su Yu murmured. He somewhat understood that each dream over the years represented a race.
This time the book was opened. It wasn't that the essence blood of the Iron-Winged Bird was so powerful, but that as long as it was the essence blood of a race he had dreamed of, it could open the book.
However, in the past, Su Yu didn't recognize those races. Besides, as a Kaiyuan Third Level cultivator, how could he possibly swallow essence blood?
If he hadn't understood the meaning this time, he wouldn't have taken the risk.
One misstep could be fatal.
"Basic Yuan Art, Absorb Yuan..."
Su Yu didn't think too deeply about it. Suddenly, he thought of the Basic Yuan Art on the third line. The Absorb Yuan Art was the basic art of the Iron-Winged Bird race. Its only function was to absorb a part of the vitality.
"Absorb Yuan Art... Activated by Essence Blood?"
Su Yu's eyes flickered. "What does it mean? Could it be that I can also use essence blood to activate the Absorb Yuan Art and absorb vitality?"
"However, at the Kaiyuan Realm, one can't actively absorb vitality. One can only passively wait for tempering."
He didn't pay much attention to the race skills. Tear and Iron Wing Slash were the basic skills of the Iron-Winged Bird. The human race also had summaries of them. Activated by Essence Blood might mean for Su Yu to learn these skills or reach the strength of Qian Jun Seventh Level. He actually didn't pay much attention to that.
But this Absorb Yuan Art, which could also be activated by Essence Blood, what was this?
Before reaching the Qian Jun Realm, the human race can't actively absorb vitality. The function of the "Kaiyuan Art" was only to gather some vitality for the human race, make the surrounding vitality denser, and make the passive tempering time longer and the effect better.
"Absorb Yuan Art..."
Su Yu suddenly couldn't help but feel excited. If he could activate the Absorb Yuan Art, did that mean that as a Kaiyuan Realm cultivator, he could actively absorb vitality?
The Kaiyuan Ninth Level took a long time mainly because one couldn't actively guide vitality into the body, because the human body couldn't form a connected orifice system.
What if one could actively absorb it?
"However... The consequences need to be considered!"
"What are the consequences of absorbing vitality? Also, how much essence blood is needed to activate it? If it's just one drop of essence blood, how long can it be maintained?"
"What's the efficiency?"
"This thing is very expensive, 50,000 for one drop. If one drop can only be maintained for a few minutes, it's completely unnecessary to waste this money."
Countless thoughts flashed through Su Yu's mind. Besides, opening other race pages also required essence blood. Where could he get so much essence blood?
With so many things to consider, for a moment, Su Yu felt that his mind wasn't enough.
"Maybe... I should give it a try!"
"Also, where on earth did this thing come from? Should I ask my teacher?"
After thinking about it, Su Yu quickly dismissed this idea.
Even if this thing was placed by someone, the teachers wouldn't know. Their strength was too low. This wasn't something they could come into contact with. This thing had remained undetected for more than a decade. Not to mention Qian Jun and Wan Shi Realms, even those at the Teng Kong Realm might not know.
"It's impossible to figure it out just by thinking. It's better to give it a try."
Just as Su Yu was thinking, suddenly there was a loud noise at the door!
The next moment, Chen Hao, waving his schoolbag, roared, "I've already notified the Jifeng Hall. If you're not afraid of death, stay here! There are strong men upstairs and downstairs. Get out!"
"..."
Su Yu was stunned.
Chen Hao's schoolbag was swinging with a whooshing sound. After roaring, there was some movement upstairs and downstairs.
Soon, someone upstairs shouted, "What's going on?"
"Have the bastards of the Myriad Races Cult come?"
"How dare you!"
"Surround them!"
"..."
Su Yu was no longer stunned. He quickly shouted, "It's okay, it's okay! Uncle Zhou, Chen Hao was just joking with me. Sorry, sorry!"
Soon, an old man flew over, holding a kitchen knife in his hand. He pushed aside Chen Hao who was blocking the door. Seeing that Su Yu was okay, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I thought the bastards of the Myriad Races Cult had come. Your father just left. Be careful. If anything happens, just call us!"
After saying that, he slapped Chen Hao on the head, making him dizzy.
"Damn it, who told you to roar? Don't roar randomly if nothing's wrong. If the guys from the Myriad Races Cult really came next time and we didn't take it seriously, wouldn't that harm people?"
The old man was very angry, of course, not at Su Yu, but at Chen Hao.
"Chen family kid, if you dare to report false information again, I'll let your father drag you downstairs, strip you naked and hang you up and beat you!"
Chen Hao had a mournful face and wanted to explain. It wasn't me!
It was Su Yu!
That guy suddenly sent me a message asking me to break into the door. Could I not think too much?
I'm wronged!
Su Yu got up. He still felt some pain in his body, but it was okay. Maybe most of the power of the essence blood had been absorbed by the book. He just had some soreness, but wasn't injured.
Without caring about these, Su Yu quickly apologized. Uncle Zhou looked relieved and then couldn't help but slap Chen Hao on the head again.
Look, the difference between you and the Su family kid is so big.
So silly!
Chen Hao was on the verge of crying!
Su Yu was also secretly smiling wryly. Soon, he asked, "Did you really notify the Jifeng Hall?"
"No, I was just scaring them!"
Chen Hao was sullen. He didn't know if something was really wrong. How could he notify the Jifeng Hall?
"That's good."
Su Yu let out a sigh of relief. Chen Hao grumbled, "Good for what? Why did you send me that kind of message? I thought you were in trouble."
At this moment, the uncles and aunts upstairs and downstairs saw that nothing was wrong and left one after another.
Su Yu let out a sigh of relief, pulled Chen Hao into the house, closed the door and said, "I just felt a bit dizzy and was afraid of fainting, so I sent you the message. Didn't I ask you to knock on the door first?"
"Oh, are you okay?"
Chen Hao wasn't pursuing it anymore at this moment. He was a bit worried and said, "Aren't you hungry? Since Uncle Su left, don't you have anything to eat?"
"Or you can come to my house to eat in the future. My father asked me to invite you before. I was afraid you'd be too embarrassed to come, so I didn't say anything..."
Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Am I going to starve myself to death?
However, he was a bit touched. Although this guy was nagging and a bit clueless, he was quite concerned about his friend, that is, himself.
"It's okay. I just practiced the "Kaiyuan Art" for too long last night. I felt a bit uncomfortable when I got up this morning. I'm okay now."
"That's good!"
Chen Hao let out a sigh of relief. Soon, he said, "Then are you going to school today? Or... you can call the teaching teacher and say you're sick. I accompanied you to the medical office, so please ask for a leave for me too?"
"..."
Su Yu's previous touch disappeared!
This guy, hopeless!
He didn't dare to skip classes himself, but he thought of asking Su Yu to ask for leave for him.
"Get out!"
Laughing and scolding, Su Yu thought about it and said, "No need to ask for leave. I'm going to school today. I just have something to do at the academy."
"You're going too?"
Chen Hao was a bit confused. Why are you so changeable?
When I asked you before, you said you weren't going. Now you're going again. Are smart people all so changeable?
Su Yu didn't bother to answer him. He was going to the academy to look for channels to see if there was any way to get some Iron-Winged Bird essence blood or other essence blood, and it had to be cheap.
The Xia's Trading Company was too greedy!
50,000 for one drop. With the little money Su Yu had left, it wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
