Chapter 10: Why would the protagonist be different?
Su Yu was not so brain-dead as to peek; after changing his clothes, he quietly leaned against the wall outside the door to wait for Wang Dong to come out.
Watching Wang Dong, who had finished changing and was emitting a faint fragrance, Su Yu withdrew his gaze.
Zhou Yi stood in the classroom and nodded slightly, saying: "All of you have completed this test. Because of Su Yu's reminder, I am very satisfied with your completion. Congratulations to you all, everyone has finished this assessment."
"Huo Yuhao, stand up!"
Huo Yuhao stood up quickly, his waist straight as a rod, "Here!"
"Report your soul power level."
Although Huo Yuhao was not like in the original work, he still could not stop the development of events.
After Huo Yuhao reported his soul power, the crowd was somewhat surprised, but after Zhou Yi suppressed the discussion, the class began.
The class was naturally Huo Gua being called out for praise, forcibly giving him a chance to show off.
The content of the lesson was still theory, but Zhou Yi did explain the importance and the inevitability of the development of Soul Guidance Devices. Although Soul Guidance Devices did not have much impact on top-tier Soul Masters, the development of Soul Guidance Devices was the general trend.
When a thing flourishes to a peak, it must seek another way out; ascension is one path, but for tens of thousands of years, only the Shrek Seven Devils have appeared, and in Dou II, there were only Huo Gua and Tang's daughter, although she was from the God Realm to begin with.
Comparing the two things, the development of Soul Guidance Technology has become an inevitable trend.
However, what was tragic was Wang Dong's answer, which was mercilessly rejected by Zhou Yi.
Su Yu knew that Wang Dong did not dare to refute; if he did, it would likely lead to the following situation.
Wang Dong: Teacher Zhou, I didn't say anything wrong!
Then Zhou Yi's old face flushed red, Zhou Yi: What did you say? You dare to talk back to your teacher? Try saying that again!
Wang Dong: I said I...
Before he could finish, he was interrupted, Zhou Yi: You don't need to say anything, go back and pack your things. Huo Yuhao, tell me your opinion.
Huo Yuhao: Teacher, you are right!
Zhou Yi: Very good, you may sit down.
Then Wang Dong left Shrek, and the game was over...
Such a scene was something Su Yu dared not imagine. Although Zhou Yi did not look favorably upon the development of Soul Guidance Devices, in fact, Soul Guidance Devices truly dominated the future Douluo Era!
Many people were immersed in Zhou Yi's explanation, and Huo Yuhao was also called away just like in the original work.
After class, Su Yu was still exploring the bug in the Mysterious Heaven Technique. He knew there was a bug to exploit, but he just couldn't trigger it. This feeling was self-evident...
After trying for two consecutive hours without being able to figure out any problems, Su Yu had no choice but to give up.
After calculating the time, Su Yu found Huo Yuhao first and brought him back to a secluded place in the cafeteria, deliberately avoiding Tang Ya.
"Yu Hao, I see your grilled fish technique is quite good. Why don't you set up a stall, and teach me while you're at it?" Su Yu's words indeed opened up Huo Yuhao's train of thought.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea. Now that I have the Spirit Eye Spirit Martial Soul and soul skills, I can naturally grill even better. I can try it this afternoon after school."
"I also want to learn how to grill fish. In exchange, I will be responsible for buying the ingredients in the future, and the money you make will be yours; consider it tuition." Su Yu's wishful thinking was very good; once he learned to grill fish, his chances of winning over Wang Dong would be even greater.
Currently, the relationship between Huo Gua and Wang Dong was not good, and he only needed to keep them separated. Without contact, how could someone with Wang Dong's arrogant nature be bought over by a grilled fish? It's like someone treating you to a meal; the food is delicious, but you wouldn't fall in love with a cook you don't have a good relationship with.
That kind of melodramatic plot, unless forced, could not happen. If it were like that, then who in the entire Douluo Continent would still cultivate? If you want to rely on a rich woman, just learn to be a chef.
Although Wang Dong was simple-minded now, he was definitely not that kind of person. However, Su Yu worried that the power of the protagonist's halo would change everything.
In short, better safe than sorry.
While eating and chatting, Huo Yuhao explained the essentials of grilling fish to Su Yu. Little did he know, teaching the apprentice starves the master, but how could poor little Yu Hao know so much?
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Wang Dong took the initiative to ask Su Yu a question, "I'm curious, how exactly did you beat me that day? Was it by relying on your frail body, your level fifteen soul power, or that Mirror Martial Soul?"
Su Yu sat up from the bed, stretched, and said: "My martial soul is indeed a mirror, but I don't know exactly what kind of mirror it is; let's call it the Mysterious Mirror for now. It's a Tool Martial Soul. As for my First Spirit Skill, it's called Mirror Reflection, which can copy all your physical attacks, but whether I can execute them is another matter."
After Su Yu's explanation, Wang Dong suddenly realized, "No wonder I lost in the end. It turns out all my attacks were within your expectations. No wonder later on, when you went head-to-head with me, you gradually gained the upper hand after failing to beat me."
"Do you want to try my First Spirit Skill? You can perform any move, and I'll copy it for you to see, but the premise is that my body can replicate your movements." Su Yu opened his mouth, tentatively asking.
As the defeated party, Wang Dong naturally became interested and wanted to spar with Su Yu in the dormitory.
After Su Yu's verification, he could indeed copy Wang Dong's physical attacks, but he could not copy Wang Dong's soul skills, nor the overly astonishing flexibility of some of Wang Dong's moves. Several attempts nearly broke his bones.
"Alright, stop trying. My legs are about to dislocate, hiss..."
It must be said that Wang Dong inherited the excellent genes of the rabbit, and his flexibility was beyond reproach, but Su Yu was different; he nearly dislocated his bones on the spot several times...
After trying many times, Su Yu's body went limp, his soul power exhausted, and he was caught by Wang Dong, which finally brought an end to it.
"I didn't expect you to be quite easy to get along with, just a bit too arrogant."
Su Yu lay on his bed, looking at Wang Dong opposite him and smiling.
"Aren't you the same? You fought me fiercely on the first day of school, and the most hateful thing is that you actually won." Mentioning the events of the first day of school, Wang Dong was still somewhat unconvinced.
Su Yu waved his hand at him, "This is called 'not fighting, not knowing each other'. Why are you still angry about that? There is still a long time ahead, I'll wait for you to challenge me anytime."
The afternoon class was still honest and obedient. Su Yu still sat with Wang Dong, and Wang Dong did not reject him. The two did not have the carefree joy of twelve-year-olds.
Su Yu was deep in thought, contemplating how he should develop in the future. Wang Dong was also thinking, but his gaze always fell on Su Yu intentionally or unintentionally. Obviously, he was still unwilling to accept the result of that match.
In the afternoon, physical training began. Looking at the smile in Zhou Yi's eyes, Su Yu knew that this old hag was full of bad intentions.
Well, although she was actually very young, it still didn't hinder her status as an old hag now.
"Wang Dong!" Zhou Yi called out.
"Here." Wang Dong stepped forward.
After announcing Wang Dong's status as Class Monitor, the gazes of the crowd changed. Some boys' gazes began to become full of aggression. But the girls...
Those eyes were simply saying, Brother Wang Dong, I can, I can, look at me, ah...
Looking at the Iron Vest on the ground, Su Yu's heart was resistant, but he didn't want to give up this opportunity either.
Actually, it had nothing to do with the elimination of the bottom-ranked. What he cared about was this second attempt to trigger the bug. If his theory was accurate, then the changes in the Mysterious Heaven Technique must have been formed by breaking through one's own limits under extreme pressure.
If even this didn't work, then it could only be said that this was Huo's exclusive cheat.
Putting on the Iron Vest, Wang Dong was still first. It was not surprising that he got first place with his strength. The original work didn't write how many laps Wang Dong ran, but he was heavily praised because of Huo Yuhao's persistence; this operation was truly mind-numbing.
With Wang Dong's strength, the number of laps he ran was definitely more than Huo Yuhao's. It was clearly a scene forcibly written to let the protagonist show off. Su Yu believed that if Wang Dong ran at Huo Yuhao's speed, he could naturally persist longer than Huo Yuhao.
To discuss the process while casting aside the result, how is that any different from discussing toxicity while casting aside the dosage?
All of this is clearly unreasonable, yet in the original work, it is written exactly like this.
