Chapter 103: The Choice Wang Dong Would Rather Die Than Reveal
Speaking of this, Su Yu paused and looked quietly at Mu Lao; in Mu Lao's gaze, Su Yu saw a trace of worry.
Mu Lao sighed leisurely, then spoke: "You are right. It is precisely because of glory time and time again that we have always persisted. This concept is held by everyone, whether they are students of Shrek Academy or the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. I am very curious, how exactly did you come to develop this concept?"
Even with just eye contact, Su Yu felt as if his entire being had been seen through; it had to be said that Mu Lao's strength had reached an incomparably terrifying level.
"Actually, when I was a child, my concepts were the same as most people's, but my Su Family is the wealthiest in the Star Luo Empire, which meant that from a young age, I inevitably came into contact with the Soul Guidance Devices of the Sun Moon Empire. It was only after I came into contact with more and more of them that I realized the rapid development of Soul Guidance Devices. I once followed my family's trade caravan to Mingdu to visit the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy, and all of this benefited me greatly when I later studied at Shrek Academy."
Su Yu's words were flawless because this event had indeed occurred; at that time, the transaction had amounted to nearly ten million, so Su Xinyuan naturally had to take him along to broaden his horizons.
Mu Lao did not speak, but simply extended a hand toward Su Yu, and Su Yu very tactfully stepped forward to help Mu Lao up.
"Accompany this old man for a walk. It has been a long time since I chatted this much with a young person."
Supporting Mu Lao, Su Yu walked aimlessly through Sea God Island. Just as they walked back to the Sea God Pavilion, Mu Lao spoke slowly: "You are the most far-sighted student I have ever met. Although your aptitude may not be the best, I know that your future achievements will not be low."
"Thank you for the praise, Mu Lao is too kind." In all fairness, Su Yu's aptitude was not considered high; if one were to truly compare, he could not surpass the Shrek Seven Devils, and even some people in his class had stronger aptitude than Su Yu.
Looking at Su Yu's modest appearance, Mu Lao laughed and scolded: "Don't be too modest. Who doesn't know about your performance in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament? If you still say you aren't capable, then there are few in Shrek Academy who can compare to you."
This was indeed correct; if one really counted, it seemed there were not many who could compare.
"The road ahead will be very difficult. You are right; the martial soul is the foundation, and Soul Guidance is inevitable, but when the two are combined, it also indicates that the difficulty of your future cultivation will increase exponentially. I am afraid you are the only one who can change the concepts of those old fellows."
Mu Lao looked somewhat wistfully at that Golden Tree towering into the clouds. His worry was actually not about the development of Su Yu or Shrek, but the hidden dangers of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Mu Lao, I know what you mean. This road will be very long, and I will prove that my choice is correct."
When Su Yu left Sea God Island, Mu Lao asked: "Although there is currently no suitable soul bone for you, if you need a soul bone, just take my Token and come to the Sea God Pavilion."
As he spoke, he tossed a Token to Su Yu. With this Token, Su Yu could save a massive amount of time in his future cultivation.
Not to mention anything else, the cultivation site within the Golden Tree alone was practically a cultivation cheat code.
Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of a bargain. Why ask for a soul bone? I'll fleece some wool first before making demands; anyway, I'm not lacking soul bones for the time being. After all, I don't have a single attached soul bone on me, and the only one, the Clear Sky Leopard soul bone, was absorbed by my Second Martial Soul and turned directly into a soul skill.
…………
Shrek Academy, Outer Court, Year Two, Class One.
"Why is everyone silent? Are you so lacking in confidence?" Zhou Yi slammed the table, giving everyone a fright.
"Teacher, I have something to say." At this moment, Dai Huabin raised his right hand to signal he wanted to speak.
The students looked at Dai Huabin as if they had seen a savior, and Zhou Yi also signaled for Dai Huabin to stand up.
"I feel that I have a sure chance of victory in this confrontation match against Class Two, so please trust me, Teacher Zhou."
Originally, Dai Huabin had gone to Class Two, but because of Su Yu's appearance, the event triggered a butterfly effect, causing Dai Huabin to still be in Class One. The acting Class Monitor of the Assault System was Dai Huabin, and the acting Class Monitor of the Control System was Zhou Sichen.
Seeing Dai Yaoheng speak, Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction: "A real man should have some backbone. Since you, Dai Huabin, are confident, then I will leave full responsibility to you. Go and beat the hell out of them!"
"Yes!" Dai Huabin immediately answered loudly. Ever since Su Yu had left, that powerful sense of oppression had vanished, but the pressure Su Yu had brought upon Dai Huabin had never faded.
It was precisely under this pressure that Dai Huabin had actually burst forth and broken through to become a Soul Ancestor!
After he broke through to become a Soul Ancestor, he swore he would beat Su Yu severely; he wanted to wash away his shame and absolutely could not be suppressed by this bastard forever.
Due to the accumulation of various butterfly effects, the original team confrontation match had also turned into the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy targeting Dai Huabin. The reason was simple: they had found out that Su Yu, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yu Hao were all away, and wanted to use the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy to find a loophole.
As long as they avoided Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, they only needed to win two matches.
However, just as everyone was preparing to assign the participants, a familiar voice interrupted everyone's thoughts, and even Zhou Yi stopped mid-lecture.
"Su Yu!"
"Vice Class Monitor!"
"The Vice Class Monitor is back!"
…………
The most shocked among them was Dai Huabin; he hadn't expected Su Yu to return at this time. Wouldn't he be suppressed again?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. I am already a Soul Ancestor, and he is at most a Level 33 Soul Elder. The gap between a Soul Ancestor and a Soul Elder is not something that can be compared to that between a Great Soul Master and a Soul Elder; he definitely cannot be my opponent.
"What, are you surprised that I'm back?" Su Yu habitually sat in his usual spot. Everyone gave him space, and some girls even crowded over to his side.
"Teacher Zhou, I'm back. Can you tell me what happened?" Su Yu hadn't had time to verify the information, so he simply asked directly.
"Class Two wants to have a Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy confrontation match with us. The losing class will be responsible for cleaning the hallways for the next half year." Zhou Yi knew Su Yu's temper well; if he wasn't happy, he would just skip class and go to the Soul Guidance Department. Since he was the disciple of her husband, Fan Yu, Zhou Yi turned a blind eye to it.
Just as everyone was expecting Su Yu to say something earth-shattering, Su Yu looked at Zhou Yi indifferently and replied, "Oh, I see, Teacher Zhou. Remember to call me when the match starts."
Then, in full view of everyone, he made an excuse about a temporary notification from the Soul Guidance Department and swaggered out.
"Boss Su is worthy of being Boss Su. He is truly lawless, like a bald man holding an umbrella—he dares to skip class like this. I'm impressed." Cao Jinxuan, this guy, had always been an optimist; he and Zhou Sichen were famous jokers in Class One.
Zhou Sichen waved his hand and said: "Is there any class Boss Su hasn't skipped? If you had that ability, no one would stop you from skipping class either. Do you think Boss Su will demand to sweep all three matches in the Two-Two-Three alone?"
"Hey, don't say that. It's actually quite possible. After all, even when Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu joined forces, they weren't Su Yu's match. Maybe we really will get to see the Vice Class Monitor slaughtering the opposition."
These two jokers had been chattering non-stop ever since Su Yu returned, without noticing Zhou Yi standing right beside them.
…………
Unfortunately, these two brothers were kicked out of the classroom by Zhou Yi, one kick each...
However, as the news of Su Yu's return spread, Class Two announced they were giving up directly. This change was so fast that even Zhou Yi was taken aback.
Is the deterrent power of one Su Yu really that great?
Whether it was the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy or a team battle, even if Class One forfeited the third match, they could guarantee a complete victory in two matches, for no other reason than that the others couldn't beat them.
The reasons were nothing more than two points: First, among the same grade, or even in the entire Outer Court, there were no two guys who could win against Su Yu. Second, there were no two who could handle the Nether White Tiger of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.
Calculating the time carefully, Huo Yu Hao would come out of seclusion in thirty-four days, and around the thirty-fifth day, the Body Sect would descend upon Shrek Academy.
It is now the twenty-seventh day, and there isn't much time left...
After returning to the Soul Guidance Department, Su Yu continued his Soul Guidance Research. Now, after half a year of growth, he had successfully reached the level of Level 4 Soul Guidance. Su Yu knew his time was running out; there was still the two-year Shrek exchange student program ahead, as well as the training for the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan. Time was too tight.
When Wang Dong came out of seclusion, his choice had also changed. After much deliberation, he finally wrote down two words that shocked Mu Lao. Seeing this, Mu Lao could only give Wang Dong a meaningful look, and after giving him a soul bone of Light of Demon Breaking, he never appeared again.
As for what Wang Dong's choice was, Su Yu had always wanted to know, but Wang Dong would rather die than say it. Even when Su Yu tickled him until tears of laughter came out, he stubbornly refused to say it.
"Are you going to say it or not? If you don't, I'll tickle you until you do!" Su Yu pinned Wang Dong down, reaching out to tickle Wang Dong's slender waist.
Wang Dong had long since laughed until tears were streaming down, but he still said triumphantly: "Even if you tickle me to death today, this genius won't say a single word. This is called a real man—unyielding in the face of force!"
Looking at the righteous expression on this tomboy before him, Su Yu still couldn't help but laugh out loud, "With that powder-blue hair of yours, a face that looks better than a girl's, and a waist that can be circled with just one hand, you're telling me you're a great man? I think you're more like a little girl, hahahaha..."
There was no helping it; this scene truly made Su Yu burst into laughter on the spot, especially with that heroic, self-sacrificing look on Wang Dong's face, which somehow felt completely natural in this situation...
