Chapter 147: Yu Dafu's Probe

By the time Zhou Chu came to his senses, this beam of light had already transformed into a golden spear, shooting straight toward his forehead.

"Father, look out!"

Li Er's voice rang out by his ear, and immediately after, a blue, light-based shield blocked the path in front of Zhou Chu.

That golden spear collided with the light shield, sending ripples spreading outward.

At this moment, Yu Dafu, who had arrived by stepping through the air, quickly reached Zhou Chu's side using several instances of Teleportation; as he lowered his posture, he looked with astonishment at Li Er, who had blocked the spear for Zhou Chu.

Seeing that the spear he had condensed had actually been blocked by a light-based shield formed from Psionic Power, Yu Dafu wore an expression of shock.

As the only Eight-Turn powerhouse in all of Shenxia, the nearly 150-year-old Yu Dafu had weathered countless storms in his life and had seen all sorts of Soul Professional powerhouses, having almost never met his match.

Yet, this young girl before him was able to block his attack so easily, which truly made him feel surprised and shocked.

The look of surprise on Yu Dafu's face was fleeting.

Through the student database, he knew that the girl before him was Zhou Chu's cousin, Zhou Li, whose bound Soul Profession was Atom Mechanic, an S-Grade quality Hidden Soul Profession.

And upon hearing the news that the Nightmare-level Iron Wasteland had been cleared for the first time, Yu Dafu was immediately stunned.

After all, that was a Copy he had spent twelve full years of painstaking effort preparing and constructing.

He had originally thought he could count on this new Copy to let the students undergo tempering within it, exploring and conquering it bit by bit, and perhaps even appreciate the past demeanor of the Spirit Energy Clan.

Who would have known that shortly after it began operations, it would be cleared by these two students, Zhou Chu and Zhou Li; how could this not make him feel surprised?

However, Yu Dafu had come in person this time mainly to verify Zhou Chu's strength.

Before this, the news that Zhou Chu had defeated the junior Lei Jianting single-handedly had already left him very surprised.

One must know that Lei Jianting was not only a Third Turn S-Grade Soul Professional but had also refined a Life Soul Artifact, and his strength could reach roughly the level of an early-stage Fourth Turn.

Precisely because of this, Yu Dafu had already begun to pay special attention to Zhou Chu as a key student of the school.

So this time, Yu Dafu specifically took this opportunity to test just what level Zhou Chu's strength had reached.

It was just unexpected that Zhou Li would suddenly intervene, using a light shield to block his attack, which slightly disrupted his rhythm.

At this moment, he had to re-examine the true strength of these two.

Could it be that Zhou Li's strength was even greater than Zhou Chu's?

To verify the doubts in his heart, Yu Dafu did not say a word; with a light flick of his palm, several light-based sharp swords quickly condensed before him.

Immediately following, he suddenly pushed his palm forward, and these several sharp swords shot straight toward Li Er.

Seeing this, Li Er lunged forward, and the light shield once again protected her front.

This time, the power of these several sharp swords was clearly stronger than the light spear from just before, and the light shield she supported was shattered to pieces.

With no other choice, Li Er simply used her two armguards to block.

A dazzling blue light instantly flashed upon those armguards, as if a sturdy protective shield were attached to them.

Only a series of crisp "clang, clang, clang" sounds were heard as the light-based sharp swords struck the armguards one after another, all of them being blocked away.

At this time, Zhou Chu already understood the real purpose of Yu Dafu's arrival.

It was clearly to test the strength of him and Li Er.

Zhou Chu understood in his heart that this action by Yu Dafu was a sign of how much he valued them.

But the intensity of this test was getting stronger each time, to the point that even Li Er was struggling to defend.

An Eight-Turn powerhouse was not someone to be trifled with.

Without further hesitation, Zhou Chu hurriedly used Soul Entanglement to merge with Gadi once more, immediately activated Void Shuttle, and arrived above Yu Dafu's head without anyone noticing.

The next moment, Zhou Chu suddenly leaped out from the void, launched Void Assassination fiercely, and the cold light of the Silence Blade appeared, heading straight for Yu Dafu's back.

Yu Dafu felt a sudden, eerie chill strike his spine; though shocked, he remained calm and composed.

With a single crisp "clang," Zhou Chu felt the Silence Blade in his hand being blocked by something hard.

He looked closely and saw that Yu Dafu had, at some unknown time, condensed a layer of transparent shield behind him; that shield looked thin, yet it was incomparably tough, steadily blocking his fierce strike.

Yu Dafu did not look back; as he turned, he flicked his robe sleeve, and a powerful surge of Psionic Power, carrying immense Soul Power, swept toward Zhou Chu like a surging wave.

This force appeared formless, yet it contained a momentum like an overturning sea; wherever it passed, the air seemed to be compressed, emitting a "woo-woo" sound.

Zhou Chu's expression tightened, knowing the severity of this strike; he dared not hesitate in the slightest and hurriedly performed Void Shuttle, once again escaping into the void just as the strike was about to hit.

Seeing Zhou Chu disappear strangely once again, Yu Dafu's expression finally revealed a hint of gravity.

"A Dual Soul Profession?"

Yu Dafu pondered to himself.

In the entire Shenxia, Soul Professionals possessing a Dual Soul Profession were already extremely rare, and a Dual Combat Soul Profession was even fewer in number.

Yet, looking at Zhou Chu's enrollment records, it did not indicate a Dual Soul Profession.

If Zhou Chu truly possessed a Dual Combat Soul Profession, then the potential hidden within him was even more immeasurable.

Yu Dafu stopped his movements, his gaze locked tightly onto the area of the void where Zhou Chu had disappeared.

Powerful Soul Power continuously radiated from his body, spreading out toward the surroundings like fine silk threads, attempting to sense Zhou Chu's traces within the void.

As a Psionic Saint Mentor, his perception was extremely keen; no matter how deeply the target hid, as long as there was the slightest disturbance, it could not escape his perception.

Yu Dafu's psionic perception instantly covered a radius of several miles, like an invisible net; any minute fluctuation of Soul Power could not escape his investigation.

He focused all his attention on capturing Zhou Chu's aura, his eyes gradually changing from confusion to surprise.

He had not even detected a trace of Zhou Chu's aura.

This made Yu Dafu feel greatly astonished in his heart.

This was far beyond his expectations.

One must know that with his strength as an Eight-Turn powerhouse, and the extremely keen perception ability of a Psionic Saint Mentor, any slight movement within this radius of several miles should not have been able to escape his perception.

He had originally thought it would be an easy task, but at this moment, Zhou Chu seemed to have suddenly evaporated into thin air, disappearing without a trace and leaving not even the slightest aura behind.

Yu Dafu's brow furrowed tightly, and he became increasingly curious about Zhou Chu in his heart.

While continuing to maintain that psionic perception covering the radius of several miles, he pondered to himself.

Could it be that this kid still has some special Stealth method?

Or perhaps he has some other skill capable of completely shielding his own aura?

After a good while, Yu Dafu still could not discover Zhou Chu's location; he shook his head slightly and shouted toward the empty surroundings, "Come out, that's enough!"
