Chapter 111: Planning for the Future (1)
As for the cultivation of eating, Su Yu didn't find it difficult at all; back in the days on Blue Star when he was often hungry and cold, eating these things was not a challenge at all.
But He Cai Tou was different. The first time he ate a mouthful, even his somewhat dark skin turned pale with fright. On the way back, He Cai Tou simply stretched out his legs, widened his eyes, and fainted on the spot with foam at his mouth.
This life of torture lasted for a long time, but not only was he supplementing during class, he was pitifully continuing to supplement after class; Su Yu even shared some with Wang Dong at times, though Wang Dong strongly resisted those living, still-moving foods...
One day, Wang Dong, who was still muddled, was awakened by a familiar fluctuation. He saw an strange light flickering on Su Yu's body.
That light looked like a soul skill he had once used himself, the Light of Demon Breaking.
"Su Yu, you..."
Wang Dong asked in surprise, but just as he was about to speak, Su Yu extended a finger to make a gesture for him to be quiet.
"This is my fourth soul skill. I will explain the specific reasons to you later."
As the light faded, Su Yu's aura returned to its normal state. His actions just now had truly frightened Wang Dong.
Su Yu was actually using his soul skill!
"Alright, ask away." Su Yu sat quietly by Wang Dong's bed and reached out to tidy up Wang Dong's messy hair.
Wang Dong did not resist and asked curiously, "Is your fourth soul skill to copy other people's soul skills?"
Su Yu nodded and said, "Yes, my fourth soul skill is named Mirror Shadow; it can copy other people's soul skills. You can't tell anyone else, okay?"
"Got it. Then what is your third soul skill? I've always wanted to ask you, but I didn't dare to." Wang Dong looked at Su Yu with some curiosity.
Su Yu habitually reached out to stroke Wang Dong's hair. "My third soul skill is called Virtual Mirror. It has a certain chance to neutralize the opponent's attack and, at the same time, reflect it to a certain degree based on the opponent's strength. Alright, don't ask anymore; if you ask any more, I won't have any secrets left."
"Tch..." Wang Dong looked at Su Yu with disdain. "You call this a secret? If it were a real secret, you would never tell me. After all, if you didn't have secrets, how could you have been captured by a Soul Beast?"
At this moment, a pair of bright eyes flashed with an unusual luster. In those captivating eyes, Su Yu felt as if he had been seen through.
Sigh...
A sigh sounded leisurely. Looking at the quiet and elegant Wang Dong, Su Yu shook his head helplessly. "As expected, I still couldn't hide it from you. It seems our Class Monitor Wang is quite smart after all."
Reaching out, Su Yu carefully wrote a few characters on Wang Dong's palm with his finger. Wang Dong looked at Su Yu in shock, and then Su Yu pressed his index finger against Wang Dong's lips.
Reaching out to wrap his arm around Wang Dong's neck, he leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "Just know it, don't say it out loud. After all, this is my secret..."
Looking at Su Yu's somewhat serious face, Wang Dong nodded shyly.
In fact, what Su Yu wrote in Wang Dong's hand was nothing much, just four simple characters.
Twin Martial Souls...
Studies in the second year were going smoothly. When Dai Huabin, now a Soul Elder, went to challenge Su Yu again, Su Yu was not worried at all after stepping onto the Soul Fighting Arena. He simply asked the teacher in charge if students from the Soul Guidance Department were allowed to use Soul Guidance Devices.
The teacher in charge nodded, and Dai Huabin, not thinking too much about it, agreed to the match directly.
Just a few minutes later, Dai Huabin, covered in black smoke, was blasted off the stage. Zhu Lu rushed up crying and hugged the smoke-covered Dai Huabin...
Fortunately, Su Yu held back, so no serious injuries were caused.
After this battle, Dai Huabin's confidence was completely shattered. Looking at Dai Huabin's decadent appearance, Su Yu said indifferently, "If you have time in the future, remember to invite me to sit at your White Tiger Duke Mansion."
After saying this, Dai Huabin looked at Su Yu in surprise, then smiled bitterly and helplessly. Watching Su Yu's retreating back, he turned to Zhu Lu beside him and said, "Let's go, there's nothing left to argue about..."
That's right, because I really lost...
Returning to the Soul Guidance Department, He Cai Tou was still carving a Soul Guidance Device with a mournful face. Looking at the state of the device, Su Yu could probably guess what had happened.
"Su Yu, I beg you for something, can you? You must help me..."
He Cai Tou recounted his troubles with tears and snot. Looking at the Soul Guidance Device on the workbench, Su Yu could only put away his desire to tease him.
"Alright, alright, I promise you. Tell me."
As he spoke, He Cai Tou slowly took out a pile of scrapped materials from under the table and let out a painful wail. "I originally intended to make a defensive Soul Guidance Device for Xiao Xiao, but, but..."
"But the materials are all gone, right? And you haven't finished making the Soul Guidance Device yet..."
Su Yu could only cover his face. The Soul Guidance Arrays that He Cai Tou was currently carving were all Level 5 arrays. With He Cai Tou's current strength as a Level 4 Soul Engineer, carving them was extremely difficult.
To be fair, He Cai Tou's intentions were indeed worth praising. The current situation definitely required Su Yu to help get more materials.
As for materials, Su Yu had long ago let Su Xinyuan hoard a pile, not caring about the waste at all. After all, when he was in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had broken a pile just because he was bored.
After carefully understanding the Soul Guidance Device he wanted to build, the two of them carefully researched and analyzed where the problem lay. Through their persistent efforts, He Cai Tou finally perfected the design, and now he was carving it with ease.
After putting down enough materials, Su Yu also began the courses for the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan. However, staying at Shrek to study like this was not a long-term solution, and time was becoming increasingly tight. Because the situation had changed, the exchange study was moved up under the threat of the many elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
This meant that his time was becoming even tighter.
In Su Yu's view, Huo Yuhao had not made much progress after the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan; on the contrary, it was true that his strength had received the true teachings of Mu Lao.
After about a month of study, Su Yu had roughly memorized all the recipes provided by Shrek. Although it was laborious to get these things, they could naturally be obtained by throwing money at them.
After calculating carefully, Su Yu estimated that the time was almost up, and it was time to go out for a walk.
Before leaving, to prevent any issues, Su Yu specifically went to find Tang Ya. Although Tang Ya's cultivation was still progressing slowly, Su Yu once again emphasized the development and future of the Tang Sect.
Su Yu knew that Tang Ya's only hope now was the Tang Sect. Bei Bei could not support the Tang Sect, but Su Yu could. As long as Su Yu wanted to, he could even forcibly prop up a massive sect with the accumulation of countless wealth and resources!
However, this was unnecessary for Su Yu.
After leaving behind a large amount of cultivation resources, Tang Ya tried to decline, but Su Yu used the reason that the Tang Sect could not be without a powerful Sect Master, leaving Tang Ya unable to refute.
The matter of the Tang Sect had come to an end for now.
Before leaving, Su Yu still didn't intend to tell Wang Dong; he only told Wang Dong that his family had some matters to deal with and he had to go back.
Other than that, Su Yu didn't say much, only telling Wang Dong that if he ever went to Star Luo City, he could go directly to his home to find him, and if he wasn't there, his family would notify Su Yu to return as soon as possible.
After Su Yu said this, there were already some tears in Wang Dong's eyes. Looking at Wang Dong's reluctant appearance, Su Yu felt a pang of heartache.
Su Yu didn't say much, just stood quietly in front of Wang Dong and habitually reached out to stroke Wang Dong's hair.
If I had stayed at Shrek Academy, perhaps I could have had more time to accompany you, but...
I have my own path to walk. If I chose to stay at Shrek, I would indeed have time to accompany you, but in that future, there would be no hope of seeing you again, after all...
Thinking of this, Su Yu looked up at the sky above. The sky was cloudless, with only the God Realm above it.
The next day, Su Yu suspended his studies and left Shrek Academy.
With the help of Su Yu's family, Su Yu successfully obtained approval for the suspension of his studies, using the reason that his family had important matters to handle and as the heir, he had to return to the family.
After leaving Shrek, Su Yu returned to the family, and looking at the leisurely Su Xinyuan, Su Yu slowly spoke: "Dad, how should we develop our Soul Guidance factory in the future?"
"What? Isn't this something you should be handling?" Su Xinyuan looked at Su Yu with a shocked expression.
Su Yu also looked at Su Xinyuan with a blank expression, pointing at himself with his finger and asking: "Me, me, me... are you sure you aren't mistaken, old man? Didn't you found this yourself? How did you end up dumping it on me?"
Su Xinyuan clapped his hands and spoke: "You are the heir now, so it's time you learned to take over the family's affairs. I see that you, kid, are a good sprout for business, so I'm saying, this matter must be handed over to you to handle. After all, who else could be like our Young Master Su, waving a hand to throw away ten million Gold Soul Coins at a Black Market casino, eventually causing a stir in the Black Market with two hundred million Gold Soul Coins?"
"I..." Su Yu was speechless for a moment; he couldn't exactly say he had performed well...
However, reality was just that cruel. After dropping that one sentence, Su Xinyuan ran off without a trace. That speed made even Su Yu click his tongue. Is this what you call an ordinary person? This speed is probably faster than that old geezer who drives a plane while drunk, isn't it?
Forget it, forget it, I still have to do this myself...
Pushing open the bronze dark door, with the help of Old Chen, he arrived at this familiar place once again, watching as Su Yu arrived at this familiar place.
After identity verification, Su Yu pushed open the large door, while Old Chen remained guarding the entrance.
After Su Yu passed down the Mysterious Heaven Technique last time, everyone's bodies had improved to some degree. As soon as they saw Su Yu arrive, they all hurriedly put down the work at hand to pay their respects.
However, Su Yu waved his hand, signaling for everyone to step back, called the few people responsible for managing this place away, and signaled for the others to continue working.
Looking at the excited expressions of the few, Su Yu slowly spoke: "I don't know if you have any plans to expand the current Soul Guidance factory and use it as a sect to attract more people to join."
Su De Rong did not hesitate and was the first to step forward and speak: "This old servant will listen to everything the Young Master says!"
Zhao Huafeng and Liu Ji also nodded. Although they were obsessed with Soul Guidance Devices, staying in this sunless place for a long time made it easy for things to go wrong.
"Since you all agree with my idea, then starting from tomorrow, tidy things up and we will begin preparations. We must establish sects in the Heavenly Soul Empire, Dou Ling Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Sun Moon Empire. I will arrange the specific matters for this aspect. In the future, I will personally arrange the Sun Moon Empire side. As for the Three Great Empires, the Family Head will arrange it. So, where do the three seniors intend to go?"
Looking at the three people before him, Su Yu felt it was better to ask.
"This old servant decides to follow the Young Master to the Sun Moon Empire!"
"Liu Ji is also willing to follow the Young Master..."
"This old servant seconds that..."
…………
The three people's answers were uniform. It was clearly unlikely to arrange them into the Three Great Empires. However, since the three were gathered together, there were certain benefits. At the very least, if they went to the Sun Moon Empire, they didn't necessarily have to use the identity of a sect; after all, the concept of a sect existed in the Three Great Empires, but the Sun Moon Empire was another matter.
Su Yu was destined to take root in the Sun Moon Empire in the future. Before he had absolute strength, the Three Great Empires were the most unsafe places.
"That's easy to say. You will follow the merchant caravan tomorrow and set off for the Sun Moon Empire. The Family Head will arrange the specific matters. After arriving in the Sun Moon Empire, I will contact you."
After giving the instructions, Su Yu began to have people prepare to take over those dilapidated sects within the Three Great Empires. Sometimes, creating one from scratch always brought too much trouble, but taking over those that were already dilapidated was much simpler.
What he needed now was forging, Soul Engineers, and Soul Masters. These things all required resources to cultivate, and resources were the one thing Su Yu did not lack.
After Su Yu's orders were conveyed one by one, the entire Su Family operated continuously like a massive and precise machine. Those involved in business always had interactions with the powerful and influential.
Within just a few days, through the news sent by everyone, Su Yu had already taken over at least a dozen dilapidated sects in the Three Great Empires. However, for the sake of convenient management, Su Yu had already ordered others to merge the sects within the Three Great Empires into three locations.
And these sects were all uniformly named: Wanjing Sect.
Just consider it a commemoration of his own martial soul. Su Xinyuan didn't interfere with these matters; at the very least, he just kept complaining to Su Yu's mother, Mu Hanyan, to the point that Su Xinyuan was kicked out of bed in the middle of the night...
