Chapter 106: The Sea God Pavilion's Way of Hospitality

Laziness is human nature; when it comes to being lazy, this Su fellow has never lost. If there are perfectly good tools available and one doesn't use them, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?

And it is precisely because of this Su fellow's laziness that our Chef Huo has successfully been worked to death.

However, due to Su Yu's interference, Jing Hongchen suffered an even greater loss this time, and was even cornered by Xuan Lao and Mu Lao in the Sea God Pavilion. Regarding how to make the choice, Mu Lao even sent someone to consult Su Yu in a roundabout way. Su Yu, full of underhanded tricks, said directly: when the exchange students come to study, that is when you release the people. Remember, after the exchange, you must let the students enter Mingde Hall, otherwise our Shrek will have suffered a huge loss.

Oh, right, remember it's best to demand some Soul Guidance Devices from Jing Hongchen. He is, after all, the Hall Master of Mingde Hall; he must have plenty of good things on him. If that doesn't work, having him hand over the blueprints is fine too. After all, with the blueprints, Shrek's Soul Guidance Department will definitely be able to develop rapidly!

It was precisely because of this one sentence from Su Yu that Jing Hongchen was directly cornered in the Sea God Pavilion by a group of Sea God Pavilion elders...

Jing Hongchen was forced into a corner with no other choice. After experiencing three days of hospitality from the Sea God Pavilion elders, he fell into a state of deep autism.

Finally, after three days of ideological struggle, Jing Hongchen hardened his heart: pay up! Let the exchange and study begin now!

I have to go back. If I go back in a few years, who knows if my Mingde Hall will still be mine? No, I absolutely must leave this godforsaken place!

It's not that Jing Hongchen hadn't thought about threatening to self-destruct, but with that whole crowd of Super Douluo from the Sea God Pavilion there, the moment he made any suspicious move, they could subdue him in minutes. Don't ask why; the answer is that under absolute strength, all methods appear so pale and powerless.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Lao held his Wine Gourd and laughed loudly: "This brat Su Yu is truly black-hearted, but I like it. Since he's here, how can he not leave something behind? Do you think my Shrek is some tourist attraction?"

It must be said that this Su fellow is not at all rusty when it comes to acting like a black-hearted merchant. After all, under the personal instruction of Su Xinyuan, this Su fellow can barely be considered half a profiteer.

Mu Lao and the others also knew the principle of a dog jumping over a wall in desperation, so they didn't push too hard. In the end, he still suffered a major hemorrhage, and when Jing Hongchen left, Mu Lao even had Xuan Lao specifically go to see him off.

"Hall Master Jing Hongchen, long time no see." Su Yu revealed a very standard smile.

Jing Hongchen was not at all surprised to see Su Yu; after all, he had met Su Yu back in the day, though he wasn't very old at the time. Furthermore, in the recent competition, this Su fellow had truly shone on the field with his Martial Soul Fusion Skill; it would be hard to keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

"So it is Mr. Su's son. I thought you would have joined my Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy back then. If there is an opportunity, you could come to my Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy to study; after all, my Sun Moon Empire is the pinnacle of Soul Guidance Devices."

Mentioning Soul Guidance Devices, Jing Hongchen indeed had the capital to be proud, but this time he had truly capsized in the ocean and fallen into the hands of Shrek's Sea God Pavilion. Being able to walk out unscathed was already a blessing.

Su Yu nodded politely and said: "I do indeed have that intention. After all, my pursuit is not the cultivation of martial souls. On this point, I share the same view as the Hall Master. If there is an opportunity to go in the future, I hope the Hall Master will not hold back and will allow me to go to Mingde Hall for advanced studies."

"That is only natural. Then this Hall Master will await your arrival in the Sun Moon Empire. I believe you will surely understand that the development of Soul Guidance Devices in this world is the correct path." Jing Hongchen looked at Su Yu, then desperately urged his Flying Soul Guidance Device as if fleeing for his life, and left Shrek.

Watching the back of Jing Hongchen as he left, Xuan Lao, Mu Lao, and Su Yu all nodded with satisfaction.

"Should I say it's good that you inherited the family business, or that you are black-hearted?" Xuan Lao looked at Su Yu beside him and spoke.

Su Yu immediately shook his head and replied: "This matter cannot be blamed on me; after all, this was Mu Lao's and your idea."

"Alright, Xuan Zi, let's go back first." Mu Lao's voice came, and Xuan Lao stopped just as he was about to speak.

Su Yu supported Mu Lao and slowly walked back to the Sea God Pavilion.

After returning to the Sea God Pavilion, Xuan Lao was sent away to arrange the training for the three little strong ones of the protagonist group, leaving Su Yu alone.

"Tell me, why did I choose such a tough method to deal with Jing Hongchen this time? After all, this old man doesn't think you have the potential to be a black-hearted merchant."

In terms of experience, Mu Lao could definitely outstrip Xuan Lao by ten streets, but in terms of scheming, Su Yu could outstrip Xuan Lao by ten streets. However, Su Yu did not think he could outstrip Mu Lao by ten streets.

Looking at Mu Lao's kind smile, Su Yu scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "The logic is very simple. It's the same principle as doing business. My father said that to do business, one must have absolute wealth and strength so that the other party realizes they cannot compete with you for the market and will voluntarily give up. This is called subduing the enemy without fighting. Dealing with the Sun Moon Empire is the same; it's about letting them see the power of the Sea God Pavilion. Otherwise, they will only think that Shrek Academy only has you and Xuan Lao. If that were the case, they wouldn't feel fear. This way, we can deter the Sun Moon Empire and make a huge profit at the same time—killing two birds with one stone, why not?"

This was simply a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone. Mu Lao naturally knew Su Yu's intentions, but what he wanted was Su Yu's answer.

After all, he was also worried about one thing: if Su Yu were a spy sent by the Sun Moon Empire, then once Su Yu gained access to the inner workings of the Sea God Pavilion, it would be a catastrophic disaster for Shrek, and even the Three Great Empires.

After carefully reviewing Su Yu's experiences and background, and considering all of Su Yu's performances, Mu Lao finally felt at ease.

"Su Xinyuan has raised a good son. If all the students at Shrek could be like you, how wonderful that would be. It's a pity..."

Using the business life he followed Su Xinyuan through in his childhood as an excuse was truly foolproof. At least these things could be verified; if he had made it up, he would have been caught and interrogated nine times out of ten...

Su Yu also hurriedly replied: "Mu Lao, you flatter me. Actually, there are many people in Shrek Academy who, although they don't have extraordinary cultivation talent, are completely above me in terms of intellect. Actually, Mu Lao, you know this better than I do."

The development of a country requires powerful military force as a foundation to support it, and it also requires people to maintain the operation of this vast and precise machine. Those in power, decision-makers, and executors all play the role of the central committee.

In Shrek Academy, strength is everything!

But in an empire, strength is not everything. The logic is there, but that is not Shrek's tenet.

"Forget it, I can't win an argument with you. What else do you know? Just say it directly; those thoughts of yours cannot be hidden from this old man."

Looking at Su Yu before him, Mu Lao sighed. As the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, with hundreds of years of experience, it was impossible for him not to know the subtext of Su Yu's words.

Looking at Mu Lao's somewhat frail appearance, Su Yu ultimately could not bring himself to say his words, and only changed the topic to another one: "I'm wondering when I'll be able to go to the Sea God Pavilion to cultivate again..."

"Go, go. Pick whichever room you want. You little fellow really won't let a single opportunity slip by."

Hearing this, Mu Lao couldn't help but laugh and scold. The current Su Yu was completely a cultivation fanatic. After Su Yu returned, he dove headfirst into the Soul Guidance Department and skipped I don't know how many classes on the Martial Soul Department side. It was rare for him to return to the Sea God Pavilion, so he had to collect some interest here.

Su Yu chose the room where Huo Yu Hao was in the original work. This was an excellent place for cultivating the Spirit Sea. Thanks to the Life Gold and Yi Lao's help, Su Yu's Spirit Sea had increased several times over. Coming here this time was to compress his Spirit Power; as long as he compressed his Spirit Power, there would definitely be incomparable benefits in the future.

However, Su Yu still had to be careful about one thing: he couldn't let his Spirit Sea be compressed as well, otherwise, wouldn't that be all for nothing? Expanding the Spirit Sea was extremely difficult in itself; if he compressed it back, it would be a huge loss.

On this point, Yi Lao could definitely solve it for him.

Su Yu officially went into seclusion and announced to the outside world that he was executing a mission, with an indefinite duration.

The Star Dou Great Forest.

"Wang Dong, do you think it's really okay that we didn't bring the Vice Class Monitor with us this time?" Xiao Xiao looked at the two people cautiously moving forward in the Star Dou Great Forest and spoke.

Wang Dong turned his head and said helplessly: "Do you think I didn't want to? This guy dove headfirst into the Soul Guidance Department the moment he got back. Sometimes he doesn't even return to the dormitory, and I haven't seen him many times. By the time I was ready to call him along, he had already been taken away by Xuan Lao, saying there was a mission. This guy is truly hateful, disappearing from sight all day long!"

"Actually, I haven't seen Su Yu for a long time either. He hasn't come to class in the Martial Soul Department, and Teacher Zhou has gone to the Soul Guidance Department to catch him several times, but couldn't call him back..." Huo Yu Hao knew Su Yu's habit of skipping class well, especially after returning this time.

Zhou Yi went to the Soul Guidance Department to catch him several times and couldn't call him back. In the end, Zhou Yi gave up, mainly because she was autistic; after all, even her own husband Fan Yu was stopping her, and even helping Su Yu ask for leave...

Actually, they didn't know that Su Yu had indeed dove into the Soul Guidance Department, but this time Su Yu was doing advanced studies in the Sea God Pavilion. It is estimated that when he comes out again, Su Yu's soul power will definitely be able to jump up again.

The Token given by Mu Lao was indeed good, but if one wanted to cultivate in the rooms inside the Golden Tree House, one still needed Mu Lao's permission.

Subsequent events continued, and everything developed naturally.

However, the subsequent shitty thing happened: while Su Yu was still cultivating, a soul bone was sent back to Shrek Academy.

The Right Palm Bone of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

The reason was that Xiao Xiao couldn't bear it. Originally, Xiao Xiao had two soul bones, but the soul bone from the Freshman Competition was obtained by Su Yu. With her physical fitness of only one soul bone, she simply couldn't bear it.

Moreover, Wang Dong had both hands, and Huo Yu Hao indicated that he already had a soul bone and couldn't take it all. So in the end, it was sent back to Shrek Academy, intending for Su Yu, who hadn't attached a right palm bone yet, to bear it. After all, the greatest contributor to this competition was still Su Yu, and even the honorary title of the Shrek Seven Devils was yielded to them.

For this reason, even Xiao Xiao was embarrassed to try to fuse it. In the end, the three discussed and decided to give this Su fellow a big gift.

After the three rested a bit, they planned to continue deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest. At this moment, Su Yu's condensation of Spirit Power had also officially come out of seclusion. Now Su Yu only planned to do one thing: go to the Star Dou Great Forest!

Counting the time, Huo Yu Hao and the others had probably set off for four or five days, while Su Yu had spent more than ten days in cultivation. Su Yu had always been precise in calculating time. His goal was very simple: the Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

At this moment, the three little ones had only just killed a ten-thousand-year Dreadclaw Bear, and that was still relying on the situation of using a Soul Guidance Device; otherwise, just relying on the three of them, and Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong without a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they would have simply been delivering themselves as food.

After contacting Xuan Lao through Mu Lao, Su Yu was also sent over; the four gathered, and for a time, the atmosphere was quite lively.

"Vice Class Monitor, you don't know, we were almost done for this time; if you had been here, you definitely wouldn't have let us use a Soul Guidance Device." As she spoke, Xiao Xiao complained.

Wang Dong also spoke up huffily: "Classmate Su Yu, where did you run off to this time? We haven't seen a trace of you for half a month straight; you really are a busy person!"

"Alright, keep your voices down, don't disturb others resting." Huo Yu Hao's words caught Su Yu's attention—others resting?

Could he be referring to Wei Na, Muxue, and Mo Feiyun?

Although he could roughly guess who it was in his heart, Su Yu still habitually asked; in fact, it wasn't as if Su Yu didn't know the identities of those three.

Wei Na is a princess of the Dou Ling Empire, Muxue is her personal maid, and Mo Feiyun is a guard.

The Dou Ling Empire also has industries, and back then, in order to clear channels, the Su Family didn't spend little money on the nobles over there; as for these two, it was impossible for this Su fellow not to have met them.

After all, as the successor designated for cultivation by Su Xinyuan, it was impossible to have spent his youth at home eating, drinking, and waiting to die; even if he had that good fortune, that would be a matter for the future.

When there was one more person, Mo Feiyun also came out to ask about the situation, but when he saw Su Yu, not only Muxue, but also Princess Wei Na, the three of them fell into silence.

"A chance meeting, hello, my name is Su Yu." Since such a situation had arisen, Su Yu also had to preserve the other party's face; after all, the other party's identity was special, and if he didn't consider himself, he had to consider his family.

"Uh, hello, my name is Wei Na..."

"My name is Muxue..."

"Mo Feiyun..."

They were all too familiar with Su Yu's identity, and by analogy, they also guessed that Huo Yu Hao and the others did not belong to the Star Luo National Academy.

Meeting acquaintances, and now with both sides hiding their identities, awkwardness was naturally unavoidable, but it was they who were awkward; what did this Su fellow have to fear?
