Outside the room.

Liu Wenyan had a smile as he muttered to himself, "This kid can be quite generous."

Writing a long willpower text was still not something he was capable of doing. If he could do so, he would have done it himself. Even after achieving willpower materialization, he still couldn't do so. He was incomparable to Bai Feng. Bai Feng was capable of writing the entire Source Opening Codex with willpower. As for Liu Wenyan, he would probably run out of willpower after the first chapter.

In truth, the Source Opening Codex wasn't even a long book. He might have nurtured his willpower well over the years, to the point his willpower was no weaker than a regular third-stage Skysoar cultivator, but this still wasn't a feat he could accomplish.

Bai Feng was a sixth-stage Skysoar cultivator that was on the cusp of reaching the seventh-stage. Not even the academy had many people like him among the younger generation below forty. Liu Wenyan was only trying his luck when he sent his students Bai Feng's way. He had not expected Bai Feng to actually be willing to exhaust his willpower on the two little geniuses of Nanyuan.

That wasn't something he had requested from Bai Feng. He could shamelessly request for Bai Feng's slots and guidance for his students, but writing willpower text or teaching Divine Character formation wasn't something he had requested of Bai Feng. That was a request that he would need to pay a price for.

"Su Yu, Liu Yue, treasure this opportunity," muttered Liu Wenyan to himself before leaving.

...

Inside the room.

Su Yu was incomparably excited. This was the very first time he had ever seen someone cultivate the Source Opening Codex so clearly. He could see everything going on inside and outside one's body while cultivating the codex. That was how a lesson should have been. In comparison, the lessons of his secondary school seemed so lacking. Was this the strength of a cultural researcher?

Su Yu had a feeling that after this lesson, if he activated the Source Swallowing Technique with a drop of blood essence again, his efficiency would be thirty percent higher than before. It was no wonder the cultural research academies were capable of researching so many different cultivation methods. If this was their method of teaching, learning would be so much easier.

"Don't only look at the cultivation. Look at the characters. Look at the power within the characters. If you can find a character that you feel is suitable for you, try to meditate on it and draw an outline of the character in your mind. Try to find your first Divine Character. Since I'm writing this text right in front of you, the willpower within the text is at an active state. This will be the best time to sense these characters."

What Bai Feng left unsaid was the fact that even in the academy, not everyone would have a chance to witness an expert writing a willpower text. Most of the time, their students would only be studying the original copies of the cultivation methods of the myriad races in search of a Divine Character suitable for them.

Also, Divine Character formation was something one could only do after reaching the Mental Tempering Stage. When first entering the academy, Su Yu and Liu Yue would not be doing much cultivation. Rather, they would need to learn even more languages. Thus, Divine Character formation was something they would only encounter a few years down the road.

Su Yu stopped his mind from wandering about and focused on the characters. Every single character was jumping about before his eyes. It was as though they were all filled with power, and he was incapable of capturing any one of them.

The sight was dazzling and caused Su Yu a great headache. He endured the pain and forced himself to continue reading. Beside him, Liu Yue was sweating all over and her face was pale. A short while later, she stopped reading with a downtrodden expression. After withdrawing, she could still sense the power brimming from the characters, but she could no longer feel them as clearly as before.

"I...failed."

Liu Yue sighed inwardly, but she wasn't too disappointed. Her willpower was too weak. It wasn't surprising that she would fail her first attempt at forming a Divine Character. When she turned aside, she saw that Su Yu was also sweating badly. However, he was still immersed in the characters. The sight of that stunned Liu Yue. He could still continue?

Bai Feng was still writing more characters, and his face was slightly pale as well. Even so, he had a smile on his face. How tenacious! He had only decided to start writing the Source Opening Codex on the spot because of Su Yu, not Liu Yue. In fact, he was starting to wonder if he had stumbled upon a true genius here. Su Yu's talent wasn't anything special, but that tenacity was impressive.

"Don't waste any time. Look for the character that calls out the most to you and capture it with your willpower."

Liu Yue's body shook when she heard that. Teacher Bai was helping Su Yu with his foundation building, building a foundation for his Divine Character! Was Teacher Bai confident that Su Yu could actually succeed? This was Su Yu's first attempt! Could he succeed at his first try? Impossible! For most people, the first attempt was merely a practice run. How could someone...

At the same time, Su Yu could feel the urgency in Bai Feng's voice. It did not seem like Bai Feng could keep this up for long. Su Yu did not have the time to think more. Countless characters were fluttering about before his eyes. His gaze landed on one of them, and clenching his teeth, he did as told. Capturing the character with his willpower was merely the act of imagining himself capturing the character.

"Catch it! Faster! I don't know if I'll get more chances like this, but this is a free attempt! The next attempt at the academy won't be free! Catch it! Go!"

Su Yu was sweating all over, but he couldn’t feel anything. His full attention was on capturing the character. He couldn't let this opportunity go to waste. Right as Bai Feng was about to finish writing the final character, with a hum, the paper trembled. Bai Feng looked up and his expression changed.

Strengthen your blood, refine your muscles and bones...

The character "blood" in that sentence had dimmed, unlike the other characters that were still glowing.

"He...succeeded?"

Bai Feng was stunned as he looked at Su Yu. This kid succeeded in his first attempt? He would admit that he had intended to test Su Yu out after finding out that this kid was actually quite talented. He even went as far as writing a Source Opening Codex for the kid.

He was also hopeful that Su Yu would succeed. But he had certainly not expected that Su Yu would really succeed. Was the heavens playing a joke on him? He was a genius who had entered the academy with twenty percent full willpower. He had been able to read incomplete Great Strength original texts from the moment he entered the academy.

Even so, he had taken half a year to obtain his first Divine Character. His teacher had personally written six willpower texts for him. Only then did he succeed. And even with that, he was viewed as a super genius. But this kid here, with only ten percent full willpower, had succeeded at his first attempt? Was this still a human? How did a small city like Nanyuan produce a monster like this?

"The fuck?" Bai Feng cursed inwardly. The look in his eyes changed as he realized that he had stumbled upon a super genius. This could be a super genius personally trained by him!

"Holy shit! Nobody is aware of this! His willpower is only ten percent full. That is nothing at the capital. Nobody knows that he has already gotten his first Divine Character and finished building his foundation."

Bai Feng's eyes flickered as numerous thoughts rose in his mind. Meanwhile, Su Yu had sunk into deep meditation. After a while, Bai Feng looked at Liu Yue with a smile and said, "You may leave first. You must be tired. Go back and take a rest. You can return tomorrow."

"Thank you, Teacher Bai." Liu Yue was indeed tired. She couldn't help looking at Su Yu. Bai Feng smiled and said, "This is his first time reading a willpower text. He has not recovered from it. He only needs some rest."

Liu Yue was unable to see that Su Yu had successfully captured his first Divine Character. She did not think much and was only amazed at how Su Yu seemed impervious to pain. After thanking Bai Feng, she left. The moment she left, Bai Feng looked at Su Yu with a wide smile on his face.

"I'm rich! Holy shit! I actually found a little monster capable of capturing a Divine Character at first try in this shitty city? Should I get Teacher to accept him as a student in advance? No, that won't do. This is my discovery! I'm also a researcher!

"Holy shit! What if I take him as my student? Would that be enough to make me a full researcher? Of course, this kid needs to rapidly reach the Mental Tempering Stage for that to happen. Even better if he can reach the willpower materialization stage. Nobody will care if a sixth-stage Skysoar cultivator like me accepts a ten percent willpower nobody as my student. Yes, I can definitely do it. Holy shit. I'm so smart! I'm rich!"

Bai Feng was laughing madly. Fortunately, Su Yu couldn't see his current appearance. What a surprising discovery. This kid was going to be his! This kid would be his ticket into becoming a full researcher!
