Chapter 243: Clearing Up Doubts, the Mission to Slay the Dragon King

As soon as Slay Dragon King spoke those words, Su Yu's mind shuddered.

Su Yu suddenly looked at Slay Dragon King, staring into his eyes.

Su Yu felt his mouth go dry in an instant; his teacher... knew his father?

An absurd, impossible feeling lingered in Su Yu's mind.

Su Yu knew he had transmigrated.

But for some unknown reason, when he learned that Slay Dragon King knew his father, a different feeling lingered in his heart.

It seemed as if another soul existed in his mind, trembling with excitement.

Su Yu closed his eyes.

Before him, another Su Yu appeared.

That was Su Yu before the transmigration.

Su Yu took a deep look at his counterpart before him, murmuring softly.

"From now on, I am you, and you are me!"

Before him, the Su Yu identical to him smiled and walked toward him.

Bit by bit, it merged into Su Yu's own body.

The next moment, Su Yu felt his whole body become extraordinarily smooth, and a clear sound rang in his mind.

It sounded like a shackle breaking.

A surging surge of soul power swept out in Su Yu's mind.

Su Yu merely felt his soul power become extremely strong; the original mid‑Flying Heaven Realm Su Yu was already comparatively strong in soul power.

It was even comparable to the soul power of a perfected Flying Heaven Realm.

But now....

The surging soul power spread in Su Yu's mind, gradually condensing into a small sphere.

Within that sphere, all of Su Yu's soul power was nurtured.

Su Yu felt the soul power in his mind, and his spirit trembled.

Divine Core!

The so‑called Divine Core is something that can only be condensed upon reaching the Transcendent Realm, i. e., the Grand Master level.

Once a Divine Core is condensed, one can project one's soul power outward.

The benefits are numerous.

With soul power projected outward, everything within its range will be felt by Su Yu with perfect clarity.

When Su Yu was once pursued by Bao Chengkong, Bao Chengkong locked onto him using projected soul power.

And now Su Yu possesses this ability as well!

Moreover, after soul power can be projected outward, it has many useful effects, the most useful being the ability to judge an opponent's attack trajectory using soul power.

Thus he can dodge.

This is one reason why the gap between Grand Master experts and Flying Heaven Realm experts is so huge!

Su Yu took a deep breath; he never imagined that the complete fusion with the original owner of this body could bring such a great improvement.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was Slay Dragon King's pair of eyes full of majesty.

Slay Dragon King was also somewhat surprised that his single sentence could cause Su Yu to condense a Divine Core.

One cannot deny, this talent...

Well, I must take back what I said before; Su Yu's talent is indeed impressive to me.

Su Yu's eyes carried a hint of doubt.

In his memory, his parents died when he was very young.

Moreover, they were ordinary people.

Who is Slay Dragon King?

The First Seal King of the Myriad Races actually knew his father?

This is probably a bit strange.

Having such a feeling is also normal; after all, it's like a farmer's son suddenly being told his father knows a high‑ranking official.

Such a psychological gap is hard to accept.

Su Yu swallowed, looked at Slay Dragon King, and asked in a dry voice.

"Teacher... how did you know my father?"

Su Yu had a feeling that there was a secret hidden within.

And perhaps that secret would be revealed today.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, a flicker of remembrance crossed Slay Dragon King's eyes.

"I not only know your father, I also know your mother..."

"They two... are truly remarkable people!"

Slay Dragon King sighed.

Su Yu staggered.

Remarkable people?

If those words hadn't come from Slay Dragon King's mouth, Su Yu would have thought he was joking.

His parents were just ordinary people.

How could they possibly be remarkable people as Slay Dragon King said?

Looking at Su Yu's expression, the Slay Dragon King said with a half-smile.

You don't really think your parents are ordinary people, do you? How could the offspring of two ordinary people be a monster with golden talent?

Such a probability could never happen.

Su Yu's mind and spirit shuddered again.

Moreover... your parents haven't died!

The Slay Dragon King threw out another bombshell.

Su Yu suddenly looked at the Slay Dragon King, and upon hearing those words, he felt his whole body trembling slightly.

His parents... weren't dead?

How could that be!

In his memory, he clearly saw his parents die before his eyes!

The Slay Dragon King gave Su Yu a deep look and said.

Some things you know too early now, which isn't good for you. But I can tell you that your parents are indeed not dead.

They... are waiting for you somewhere else!

Somewhere else.

Su Yu stared blankly at the Slay Dragon King.

After a moment of silence, Su Yu spoke in a low voice.

Teacher, when will I be able to learn news of my parents?

The Slay Dragon King looked at Su Yu and pondered for a moment.

Wait until you break through to King, then I'll tell you. Actually, becoming King is also a bit early, but I'm not sure I can stay that long.

So, break through to King as soon as possible!

The Slay Dragon King gave Su Yu a deep look, that gaze containing too much, too much.

Su Yu froze.

Teacher, what do you mean by that?

The Slay Dragon King laughed heartily and said.

Hahaha, it's nothing; you'll know when the time comes.

Su Yu felt that what the Slay Dragon King said today exceeded his imagination.

His parents were waiting for him somewhere else....

The Slay Dragon King couldn't stay much longer....

Su Yu only felt that a mass of mist blocked his front.

He tried hard to dispel those clouds, but found he couldn't dispel them at all.

Enough, saying all that isn't good for you.

The Slay Dragon King waved his hand and changed the subject.

Do you know why I had you come to Slay Dragon City?

Su Yu froze again.

I don't know.

To be honest, Su Yu really didn't know why the Slay Dragon King had him come to Slay Dragon City.

The Slay Dragon King said lightly.

What do you think of the Slay Dragon Army?

Su Yu answered without hesitation.

Very strong! The Slay Dragon Army's discipline is absolutely top-notch among the armies of Daxia. Every member of the Slay Dragon Army, at the same realm, is among the strongest.

This, Su Yu is definitely not flattering.

Whether it was Su Yu sparring with Bai Chen and others, or Su Yu accompanying the Slay Dragon King to observe the Slay Dragon Army on the battlefield.

Each individual taken out is definitely a strong one among those of the same realm.

Such an army truly deserves to be the first army of the myriad races.

To be able to garrison the first main city of the human race's twelve main cities, one must have some ability; otherwise it's impossible.

Moreover, even the weakest grey armor of the Slay Dragon Army belongs to Organ Tempering Realm experts; just that alone puts many armies to shame.

Just like Hope City, some soldiers there aren't even considered Martial Artists.

And in the Slay Dragon Army, not to mention those who aren't even Martial Artists, there are no Qi Blood Realm or Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists.

To join the Slay Dragon Army, the minimum requirement is the Organ Tempering Realm.

And an Organ Tempering Realm cultivator placed in Hengcheng could become a vice president of the Hengcheng Martial Artists Association.

Just like Liu Kuang.

In short, Su Yu genuinely felt the terror of the Slay Dragon Army.

The Slay Dragon King smiled faintly.

The Slay Dragon Army is divided into three armies and a commander-in-chief; the three armies are the three Kings garrisoning Slay Dragon City, and I am the commander-in-chief of the Slay Dragon Army.

I had long known of Overheaven King's betrayal; I just didn't expect him to become uncontrollable so quickly, but it's not a big problem.

Coincidentally, your second senior brother has also broken through to Four-step King, so Overheaven King's position will be taken by him.

The Slay Dragon King said to himself.

Do you still remember the trial you underwent outside the palace?

Su Yu nodded.

To be honest, that trial was indeed somewhat difficult.

If Su Yu hadn't entered the Flying Heaven Realm with his pure golden body, he truly wouldn't be a match for Bai Chen.

"That trial is the standard for testing whether you can become a Young Marshal!"

"Young Marshal?"

Su Yu was startled, looking at the Slay Dragon King, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

The Slay Dragon King said with a half‑smile, half‑frown.

"Back then the elder and the second also went through it, but unfortunately they both failed; only you succeeded."

"So... now you are the Young Marshal of the Slay Dragon Army!"

Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

What a fellow, knowing nothing yet somehow becoming the Young Marshal of the Slay Dragon Army.

That's not consulting oneself at all.

"What? Becoming the Young Marshal of the Slay Dragon Army isn't good? Once you become a King-Conferred Strong One, you will be the commander of the Slay Dragon Army, with the whole army as your backing; in all of Daxia, who dares to deny you?"

The Slay Dragon King said proudly.

Know that each of the three divisions' unified commanders of the Slay Dragon Army is a King-Conferred Strong One.

Moreover, among the three divisions are the Mad King, the Shadow Ghost King, and the soon‑to‑replace Overlord King, the Sky Sword King; none of them aren't veteran King-Conferred Strong Ones.

With such a lineup, looking across all of Daxia, only the Martial Artists Association outweighs the Slay Dragon Army.

Su Yu gave a wry smile.

"But teacher, I'm used to freedom; if I'm made the Young Marshal of the Slay Dragon Army, I can't do it!"

Su Yu knew that although the Slay Dragon King is the commander of the Slay Dragon Army, he is firmly rooted in Mie Long Cheng and cannot move.

It may sound glorious, but Su Yu is a person who can't stand loneliness; keeping him stuck in Mie Long Cheng would truly drive him mad.

The Slay Dragon King looked at Su Yu oddly and said,

"Who told you that becoming a Young Marshal means staying forever in Mie Long Cheng?"

"Huh?"

Su Yu scratched his head.

The Slay Dragon King said lightly.

"My situation is a bit special, but yours is different; I haven't even abdicated yet. You're scared of a hammer, you want to roam freely; consider these things after you become the commander."

"I call you a little rabbit brat, you aren't already eyeing my commander position now, are you?"

The Slay Dragon King squinted, looking at Su Yu with suspicion.

Su Yu gave a dry laugh, quickly waving his hand.

"How could that be?"

"Really not?"

"No, truly not! I swear to the heavens!"

Su Yu said hurriedly.

Only then did the Slay Dragon King withdraw his gaze and say lightly,

"Fine, I won't bother you about this any more; the Young Marshal position is yours alone. After tomorrow, we will proclaim throughout Daxia that anyone who dares to provoke you must reckon with the entire Slay Dragon Army."

The Slay Dragon King waved his hand, sealing the matter.

Su Yu felt a bit helpless, but could only tacitly consent.

"By the way, what's the plan from here?"

The Slay Dragon King asked.

Su Yu touched his own nose.

"I haven't decided yet."

Su Yu truly hadn't decided; logically he should be studying at the Qianlong Academy now, but after the Slay Dragon King's arrangement, he can't return within half a year.

And now, only a month has passed.

The remaining time until half a year is still a long stretch.

"Since it's unclear, I'll give you a task."

The Slay Dragon King said lightly.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, "What task?"

The Slay Dragon King gave Su Yu a deep look and said,

"Fog Tribe!"

"Fog Tribe?"

Su Yu was bewildered.

Su Yu didn't know much about the Fog Tribe.

The Slay Dragon King explained,

"The Fog Tribe is a small race on the Continent of Ten Thousand Tribes; its strongest members are only at the Marquis level."

"The Fog Tribe resembles the Human Race, but lives perpetually in mist; they are natural assassins. A peer‑level stronger encountering them in the mist would find it hard to evade their assassinations."

"However, this only applies below the Grand Master level; once above Grand Master, after condensing a Divine Core, the Fog Tribe's assassination skill drops dramatically."

"You know that once the spiritual soul power is released outward, nothing can escape its detection."

"So when I saw you just now condense a Divine Core, I suddenly thought of this place."

Su Yu's eyes lit up.

"Does the Fog Tribe have Energy Ore Veins?"

"Do they have Stellar Ore Veins?"

This is what Su Yu most wants to know.

After obtaining many benefits in the Leopard Tribe, Su Yu constantly thinks about the Star Crystal Ore Vein and the Energy Ore Vein.

The Slay Dragon King looked at Su Yu's expression like a little money grubber, his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help doubting.

"How is this guy not at all like his father? How is he like another guy?"

A youth in white clothes like snow appeared in his mind.

Thinking of this, the Slay Dragon King couldn't help but shudder.

The Slay Dragon King coughed once and spoke in a deep voice.

"There is no Star Crystal Ore Vein; these things are all monopolized by the Three Races, that is, in the Leopard Tribe's secret realm, the Three Races' people cannot enter, otherwise you won't get the Star Crystal Primordial Liquid in the Leopard Tribe!"

"Oh!"

Su Yu let out an "oh", his expression slightly disappointed.

Seeing Su Yu's disappointed expression, the Slay Dragon King couldn't help shaking his head and said.

"Alright, although the Mist Tribe has no Star Crystal Ore Vein, it does have an Energy Ore Vein, roughly similar to that of Leopard City, a primary Energy Ore Vein."

Primary Energy Ore Vein!

Su Yu's eyes lit up.

You should know, in the system I already have a primary Energy Ore Vein.

And one Energy Ore Vein can produce ten Energy Stones per day.

And the Mist Tribe has stood on the Myriad Races Continent for so long—just imagine how abundant their accumulated Energy Stones are.

Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but drool at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at Su Yu's expression, the Slay Dragon King restrained the urge to slap him flying, his temples throbbing continuously.

"Alright, let me first tell you about the mission."

Su Yu immediately returned to normal and listened attentively.

"I also said before that before reaching the Grand Master realm, the Mist Tribe's assassinations are hard to defend against; once controlled by the Mist Tribe's mist, many Martial Artists cannot find their direction in the mist, let alone detect the Mist Tribe's presence."

"Over the years, many Slay Dragon Army soldiers have fallen to the assassinations of strong Mist Tribe members; I once wanted to send a few Marquises to wipe out the Mist Tribe, but couldn't, because the Three Races' eyes have always been on Mie Long Cheng, causing every deployment to be intercepted by the Three Races' strong ones."

"Last time, if it weren't for the Yin Ghost King's special means, I wouldn't have been able to guide you here."

"So this Mist Tribe has become a thorn stuck in the throat of the Slay Dragon Army."

"We haven't succeeded, but instead have made the Mist Tribe more arrogant; so I'm thinking, should I send you to the Mist Tribe to annoy them a bit?"

"I know your special Martial Technique; although I also don't know where your Martial Technique comes from, I have to say that you, having cultivated this Martial Technique, are like a fish in water on the Myriad Races Continent."

The Slay Dragon King looked at Su Yu, his face full of smiles.

Su Yu's eyebrows slightly rose.

Indeed, the Seventy-Two Transformations have brought Su Yu quite good benefits, indeed quite good.

Su Yu was thinking.

This Mist Tribe... its strongest is only a Marquis.

Then doesn't that mean, relying on the Seventy-Two Transformations, I can freely come and go in the Mist Tribe?

Su Yu now understands why the Slay Dragon King gave him this task.

I have to say, he is indeed the best person to complete this task.

"Alright! When the time comes I'll discuss with Teacher Li, and we'll set out for the Mist Tribe in a few days!"

Su Yu nodded and agreed.

The Slay Dragon King looked satisfied at Su Yu and said.

"Alright, then go prepare well; coincidentally, tomorrow's announcement of the Young Marshal also requires your presence."

Su Yu nodded, then left the palace and returned to his room.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, pondering.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng knocked and entered, holding a wine gourd, taking a sip.

"What are you preparing to do next, kid?"

Li Zhangsheng sat imagelessly on the chair, asking lightly.

Su Yu said.

"The teacher told me to go annoy the Mist Tribe!"

At the moment he heard Su Yu's words, Li Zhangsheng's whole body suddenly trembled, an extremely violent aura bursting from his body.

In his eyes, it seemed as if a sharp long sword was nurturing.

He stared fixedly at Su Yu, his mouth opening with difficulty.

"Mist Tribe?"
