Background
Su Yu was raised in Southern Yuan and began his cultivation late compared with many privileged geniuses. His early experiences with the Ten Thousand Races Cult, Divine Scripts, and Bai Feng’s instruction drastically expanded his view of the cultivation world. He entered Daxia Civilization Academy as Bai Feng’s disciple and joined the Multi Divine Script Faction. 25 80
At the academy, Su Yu became entangled in the conflict between the Multi Divine Script and Single Divine Script Factions. He served as an intermediate-class monitor under Liu Hong, challenged senior students, entered the Top 100 Ranking, and repeatedly fought faction members who targeted him and his senior sister, Wu Jia. 88 157 180 245
After killing Zhai Feng and suffering continued political suppression, Su Yu chose to leave Great Xia Prefecture. Zhu Tiandao accepted him into Great Ming Prefecture on terms that gave Su Yu resources, research support, and battlefield assistance. 245 249

His reputation grew after killing Lei Jue, defeating numerous geniuses, entering ancient cities, and establishing influence within the Hunter Pavilion as Xuan Jiu. 354 361 373 444
