Chapter 100: The Competition Concludes, Sea God Pavilion Commends
Brilliance bloomed; with every step that beautiful figure took, a colorful lotus blossomed beneath her feet. Those golden lotuses, containing endless vitality, bloomed beneath her feet like the first light of life.
In the north there is a beauty, peerless and independent; one glance topples a city, a second glance topples a nation.
When the hazy mist dispersed, the crowd finally saw the woman's figure, standing in mid-air. Her long golden hair moved without wind, and her eyes refracted a powder-blue light. Gazing at that breathtakingly exquisite face, even Xuan Lao below the stage widened his eyes.
"That is Junior Brother Wang Dong?!" Bei Bei looked in astonishment at the woman bathed in golden light. For some reason, as Bei Bei watched the woman who made lotuses bloom with every step, some things immediately came to mind.
If I remember correctly, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly seems to be, this, this...
As the woman slowly took a step forward, her figure began to slowly dissipate after this step, transforming into countless Radiant Goddess Butterflies.
"Has the Martial Soul Fusion failed?"
Watching the slowly dissipating Radiant Goddess, Wang Yan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Could it be that they had fallen short of success at the final hurdle?
Xuan Lao also shook his head helplessly and said with a sigh: "What a pity..."
Just when everyone thought the Martial Soul Fusion Skill had failed, golden flames ignited on the bodies of the dancing Radiant Goddess Butterflies, and they all swooped toward the location of the Sun Moon Battle Team.
The golden flames expanded violently, and everything around them turned into a world of fire!
"Not good, quickly use the Invincible Protective Shield!"
Ma Rulong reacted instantly, and the remaining three all used their Invincible Protective Shields, but they simply could not block the Radiant Goddess Butterflies burning with golden flames. A large number of Radiant Goddess Butterflies melted onto their Soul Guidance Devices like moths to a flame.
They could clearly feel that their Invincible Protective Shields were being rapidly disintegrated; the golden flames even penetrated their shields and began to burn on the bodies of the Sun Moon Battle Team members.
The most terrifying part was yet to come: the golden flames could not be extinguished. When they were burned by these terrifying golden flames, they could feel their bodies rapidly entering a state of weakness. Not only was their Spirit Power draining away, but their vitality was also being lost.
This scene terrified Ma Rulong into a panic. He had tried many methods, but once touched by these golden flames, they could not be removed at all. He could only watch helplessly as they burned his soul power, Spirit Power, and vitality!
"We concede!"
Finally, under multiple torments, Ma Rulong shouted his concession.
Sun Moon Battle Team, concedes!
This news was undoubtedly an affirmation for the Shrek team. In the end, no one could have expected that two inconspicuous Three-ring Soul Venerables could actually defeat the remaining members of the Sun Moon Battle Team single-handedly!
Following their concession, the golden flames transformed back into individual Radiant Goddess Butterflies, continuously converging into the air. When all the Radiant Goddess butterflies disappeared, a pure white light gate emerged, and the Radiant Goddess who made all living things pale in comparison appeared on the competition stage once again.
Not only the White Tiger Duke, but even the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire was stunned by this woman. The entire competition venue fell silent for a time, and the crowd watched the woman who looked like a Radiant Goddess as if they were on a pilgrimage.
This woman, dominated by the female-like Wang Dong, walked slowly to the front of the referee and asked: "Announce the competition results."
Even the Heavenly Fiend Douluo did not dare to look her in the eye, fearing he would profane this beauty that did not belong to the mortal world. His reaction was somewhat sluggish; it took a full few minutes before he slowly said: "Yes, you won, you really won..."
When the Radiant Goddess disappeared, this Heavenly Fiend Douluo slowly came back to his senses. There was an unconcealable complexity in his eyes, which finally gathered into a bitter smile.
After the Radiant Goddess dissipated, Su Yu had already fallen into a complete coma. As for Wang Dong, other than being somewhat exhausted, she was fine.
In the end, Wang Dong, with a pale face, supported Su Yu as they walked off the ring. No one noticed that between her brows, a trident-shaped mark was emitting a glow...
When Wang Dong walked off the ring, she felt the world spinning. Her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
Just as the two figures were about to fall to the ground, Xuan Lao waved his large hand, caught them, and then disappeared from everyone's sight with Su Yu and Wang Dong.
When the two protagonists of this match disappeared, the crowd finally recovered from the competition just now. As for why they had been intoxicated for so long, I believe everyone knows the answer.
"Brother, what are you thinking about so intently?" Meng Hongchen, who was on the side, asked the still-intoxicated Xiao Hongchen with a puzzled look.
Xiao Hongchen shuddered and coughed a few times in embarrassment. "Nothing, I was thinking that after this use of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it will be impossible to use it again in the short term. So, as long as we can win the upcoming individual elimination round and the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy, we will definitely be able to win!"
"Really? Brother, why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?"
Xiao Hongchen spoke with righteous indignation, but Meng Hongchen's intuition told her that things were definitely not as Xiao Hongchen said.
As for the subsequent matches, they could only be left to them. Su Yu and Wang Dong had completely lost their combat effectiveness.
The pre-battle meetings had been held countless times, and the tactics had long been arranged clearly for them. Anyway, there were two sets of tactics: one was Su Yu's, and one was Wang Yan's.
After winning the first match, how to choose the rest was left to their own discretion.
When Su Yu woke up, he looked at Wang Dong sitting by the bed and asked blankly: "Wang Dong, how long have I been in a coma?"
Wang Dong shook her head and said: "I don't know either. I just woke up not long ago. It seems the competition is almost over. Why don't you find someone to ask?"
Saying this, Su Yu called for a maid. After confirming the exact time, it could basically be concluded that the competition had already ended.
When Su Yu and Wang Dong arrived at the competition venue, both sides were already detoxifying for each other. When Su Yu hurried in front of Ma Xiaotao, he found that Ma Xiaotao was completely fine.
Damn it, so all the times I emphasized things before the battle were for nothing?
Now, other than her face being exceptionally rosy, Ma Xiaotao was completely normal in every other way, and she hadn't noticed anything wrong at all.
"I can't tell, you kid actually have some skills. I was wondering why you two little boys were sticking together all day long; so it turns out you have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Ma Xiaotao said with a hint of teasing, the playful meaning in her words self-evident. She said it with her mouth, but the mocking expression on her face betrayed her true heart.
You are at least a disciple of Yan Shaozhe, can't you pretend to be a bit more convincing? If you say you don't know Wang Dong is a girl, I wouldn't believe it even if you killed me. If you're going to act, at least act like it...
"You weren't hit by that Judgment Sword?" Su Yu asked suspiciously.
Ma Xiaotao replied irritably: "You're hoping I'd get hurt, right? I think you're asking for a beating!"
Looking at Ma Xiaotao's lively appearance, it was estimated that nothing was wrong. Even with eyes closed, one could guess that they might not have even reached the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy; she and Dai Yaoheng had blown through the opponents in the round-robin elimination...
When Su Yu went to ask Wang Yan, sure enough, it was exactly like that. Ma Rulong's injuries could only recover slowly, so the strongest person on the opposing side was only Mijia, but Mijia hadn't fought for long before being pinned down and beaten by that nemesis Dai Yaoheng...
Let alone using the Judgment Sword, the Judgment Sword wasn't even used at all. If it weren't for Dai Yaoheng showing mercy, he probably could have stripped his armor off.
But fortunately, the subsequent award ceremony was postponed until tomorrow. Since the end of the competition, Star Luo City had also lost its usual bustle.
The happiest person among them must be Su Yu. This time, he could be said to have made a fortune in silence: a Blade of Judgment, an old grandfather Yi Lao obtained by accident, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Dong, and the unfulfilled 250 million super bet.
You think I'm on the first floor, but actually, I'm in the atmosphere!
Due to Su Yu's physical condition, Xuan Lao led the team back to Shrek first, while Wang Dong was left behind to take care of Su Yu.
The next day, everyone said goodbye to Su Yu. Dai Yaoheng was especially attentive to Su Yu, and even specifically invited Su Yu to visit the White Tiger Duke Mansion in the future.
Nervousness upon arrival, pride upon return!
At this moment, they all carried the glory of Shrek, and it was precisely they who made Xuan Lao reduce the gloom in his heart once again. While everyone was still happily embarking on the journey home, Xuan Lao's heart was thinking of another person.
Su Yu...
Shrek Academy, main gate.
It was nearly noon, and still during class hours. However, five people of great importance to Shrek Academy were gathered here at the main gate.
Dean of the Martial Soul Department Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Soul Guidance Department Xian Lin'er, Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department Cai Mei'er, Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department Qian Duoduo, and the last person was the Director of the Soul Guidance Department, Fan Yu, who was also Su Yu's teacher in the Soul Guidance Department.
Although it looked quiet, everyone knew what it meant for these five people to be waiting here.
"Finally back. These little ones really exceeded my expectations." A satisfied smile appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face.
"Indeed, finally back..." This sentence truly contained an unknown amount of emotion from these people.
When Xuan Lao landed, the five stepped forward together, but when they counted the heads, they discovered two people were missing.
"Children, welcome home. But, where are Su Yu and Wang Dong?" Yan Shaozhe and the other four stepped forward quickly, arriving before the Shrek group.
"Teacher, Su Yu is recuperating at home due to his injuries, and Wang Dong insisted on staying behind to take care of Su Yu, so we returned first," Ma Xiaotao said proudly.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed in front of He Cai Tou, excitedly pulling him into an embrace, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Although Fan Yu did not say much, this one sentence was worth more than a thousand words; after all, from childhood to adulthood, He Cai Tou was basically raised by Fan Yu.
This time, the Soul Guidance Department made a great contribution. As a member of the Soul Guidance Department, Su Yu turned the tide of battle multiple times and even elevated the use of Soul Guidance Devices to a new level. Whether it was that incident with the Shrek Supervisory Team or the later competition, everyone could not help but feel a bit envious of Fan Yu...
The final rewards were distributed in the Sea God Pavilion. Since Su Yu and Wang Dong had not yet returned, they could only be distributed first, and would be made up to them after Su Yu returned.
The subsequent rewards were basically the same as in the original, but when the title of Shrek Seven Devils was mentioned, Yan Shaozhe hesitated slightly.
"Teacher, before we left, Su Yu asked us to convey to all the Deans that he will not continue to participate in the competition for the title of Shrek Seven Devils in the future." Ma Xiaotao's words directly dispelled Yan Shaozhe's doubts, but they created new doubts among the many elder masters.
"You all need not have too many doubts. This old man can guarantee that this is Su Yu's decision." Xuan Lao, who had not spoken until now, also spoke up.
Although Xuan Lao also did not know why Su Yu chose to give up the title of Shrek Seven Devils, which symbolized supreme glory, he thought about it for a long time and decided to respect Su Yu's opinion.
It was mainly because that rascal Su Yu said something very shameless: if Xuan Lao did not agree, he would drop out of school!
Once these words were out, it angered Xuan Lao so much that he almost gave this ignorant little brat a good beating on the spot.
Su Yu was actually very clear-headed. That is the glory you all think it is; it not only provides me with no help, but it also makes me a target for everyone. Who doesn't know what the title of Shrek Seven Devils represents? I don't want to be tied to your Shrek war chariot.
"Fine, we respect Su Yu's choice."
Following a voice that came from above in the Sea God Pavilion, the group finally stopped arguing.
The subsequent matters were basically arranged briefly, but it seemed that the elder masters were all slightly disappointed; after all, the people they considered important had not yet returned...
Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao were left behind alone. Looking at the departing crowd, Mu Lao sighed slightly, "That little fellow is really not someone who lets people worry less..."
…………
Star Luo Imperial Capital, Black Market.
"Why did you bring me here? And you insisted that I wear this ugly, oversized cloak. This mask has messed up my hairstyle..."
Wang Dong held Su Yu's hand, complaining along the way.
Su Yu walked through the Black Market indifferently, turned his head to look at Wang Dong, and said, "This is the Black Market. As for what a Black Market is, you should actually know in your heart. I came here today to collect a debt."
"Collect a debt? What kind of debt? When did they owe you money?"
Wang Dong did not think about the gambling aspect. If he knew that in order to place a single bet, Su Yu had mobilized almost all the liquid capital of the Star Luo Empire, and that this bet had reached the staggering amount of 50 million Gold Soul Coins, he would have been shocked!
