Chapter 130: The Familiar Entrance Test

The two sides met in the center of Maple Leaf Plaza, and the gazes of Xiao Hongchen and his sister immediately fell upon Su Yu, who was standing at the very front of the team.

Su Yu's chest bore no Soul Guidance Badge, but as Su Yu and Xiao Hongchen's eyes met, Xiao Hongchen flashed a smile at Su Yu that was quite provocative.

Having lost to Su Yu and Wang Dong in the most critical battle of the previous tournament, Xiao Hongchen and his sister were unwilling to accept it; in their view, that defeat was not because their cultivation was inferior, but because their understanding of Su Yu and Wang Dong was insufficient.

Who could have known that the subsequent battles were basically all under Su Yu's control? Such a legendary figure would naturally stir up Xiao Hongchen's competitive spirit. Only such a person was worthy of being his, Xiao Hongchen's, opponent!

Jing Hongchen said to Yan Shaozhe with a forced smile, "Senior Taotie, greetings. I didn't expect Senior Taotie to come out in person today. It seems your academy attaches great importance to this exchange activity."

Who was Xuan Lao? Although his inner craftiness could not compare to Yan Shaozhe, when it came to fists, apart from Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and Du Busi, what other old fellow could trade a few blows with Xuan Lao?

Xuan Lao did not have much of an emotional shift and slowly said, "This old man is merely following our original agreement. Wasn't this matter already settled in the Sea God Pavilion long ago?"

Regarding this Jing Hongchen, Xuan Lao felt more or less a hint of annoyance; sneaking into Shrek back then, he was likely just trying to fish in troubled waters.

Mentioning the Sea God Pavilion, the muscles on Jing Hongchen's face twitched noticeably; the experience at the Sea God Pavilion last time was truly too profound in his memory.

That pile of Soul Guidance Devices, and that Red Dust Protection he had crafted himself, just like that, they were gone...

"I heard that Mu Lao of your academy has passed away? Sigh, that meeting back then turned out to be our last farewell; it is truly a pity. Among the Title Douluo this junior has met, Mu Lao was indeed the most powerful and the most worthy of respect. This junior hopes Senior Taotie can grieve in moderation."

As a junior, Jing Hongchen dared not act presumptuously in his speech; after all, Xuan Lao's strength in Shrek was second only to Mu Lao.

Xuan Lao's thoughts were not that convoluted; when it came to scheming, Xuan Lao could basically be called a basic beginner. "Jing Hongchen, since we have already discussed it beforehand, this old man will not waste words with you."

The two academies exchanged positions under the lead of their two team leaders. As Su Yu and Xiao Hongchen brushed past each other, he clearly heard Xiao Hongchen whisper, "In the next tournament, I will personally crush you strategically on the field using the command ability you are so proud of."

Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Su Yu also nodded, a smile appearing on his face as he said, "Then I shall wait and see; I hope you are a worthy opponent."

Their gazes met, and in both their eyes, a raging fighting spirit was burning.

Unlike Xiao Hongchen, his infatuated sister Meng Hongchen seemed to be in an excellent mood after seeing Su Yu. She always wore a faint smile on her face, and even when she saw him, her opponent, she just nodded lightly. Su Yu knew very clearly that this person was aiming for his wife, Wang Dong.

Because Wang Dong was still in the guise of a boy, with Wang Dong's beauty that could kill both men and women, it was understandable that Meng Hongchen was fooled; after all, if it weren't for knowing Wang Dong was a girl, even Su Yu, a man, couldn't help but...

However, Xiao Hongchen had no idea what his sister was smiling about; if he really knew his sister had fallen for his enemy, this kid would definitely be depressed for a while.

Meng Hongchen's pretty face carried a smile, even turning slightly red, as she gazed into the distance and thought to herself, "He didn't participate in this exchange study, so that means he must be at Shrek Academy, right? Two years without seeing him, what has he become like now? He must be even more handsome. I'll be able to see him soon. His powder-blue eyes are so beautiful."

…………

When Su Yu passed by Jing Hongchen's side, Jing Hongchen said, "As expected, Young Master Su still came. This Hall Master will certainly not hold back, but it is a pity, Young Master Su is not a person of our Sun Moon Empire."

"Then Su Yu thanks the Hall Master here."

As the two academies exchanged, Xuan Lao led the students away from this place. For a Peak Douluo like Xuan Lao, there was absolutely no need to show off his strength like Yan Shaozhe.

Merely relying on Xuan Lao's aura was enough to subdue everyone.

Under the activation of Jing Hongchen's Advanced Flying Soul Guidance Device, the Shrek students were also brought into it. Because Su Yu had long been mentally prepared, he was not as panicked as the other students.

The capital of the Sun Moon Empire is called Sun Moon City, also known as Mingdu. As the political and economic center of the Sun Moon Empire, the size of this city completely exceeded the imagination of the Shrek Academy students.

Upon entering the territory of Mingdu, Jing Hongchen slowed down the speed of the Flying Soul Guidance Device, allowing everyone to see the scene below clearly.

"We have entered the territory of Mingdu. In the next two years or so, you will live in this city. I hope you can come to like this place."

Su Yu nodded habitually, little knowing that he had already lived in this place for more than a year and could be said to be very familiar with it.

In the distance, an area outlined by lights, presenting a hexagonal shape, appeared before everyone's eyes. The area covered by the hexagonal lights was enough to rival a medium-sized city. There were many buildings dotted within it, but there was even more open space. Jing Hongchen told everyone that this hexagon was the territory belonging to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

Golden light descended, and Jing Hongchen led everyone to land on a wide plaza. The light membrane was quietly withdrawn, and everyone didn't even feel anything. That magical Flying Soul Guidance Device had already disappeared.

On the plaza, more than a dozen people were already waiting there. They walked up quickly, and among them, a middle-aged man who was also short and fat came before Jing Hongchen and said respectfully, "Hall Master, everything has been arranged."

With this sentence falling, it completely announced the beginning of Su Yu's study career. Looking around at this familiar academy, Su Yu actually wanted to go and learn from Xuan Ziwen again, but his current identity was destined to be restricted.

Now all he could do was wait for Mingde Hall to open.

However, it came to the next stage of physical testing. Su Yu did not choose to go first because he was waiting, waiting for Ye Xiaosheng to start.

This thing was not his first time encountering it; he had long been clear about its operating method. It was actually not difficult to disrupt this instrument.

"I'll go first."

Ye Xiaosheng raised his hand and walked out. Under the guidance of a teacher, he arrived in front of an instrument and said, "This student, no need to be nervous, relax your whole body. Later, a beam of light will scan across your body. The whole process will not cause you any harm; it will record your physical state as well as data related to your height, weight, etc."

Before long, all of Ye Xiaosheng's data was reported.

"Physical strength, Level 54; physical toughness, Level 61; soul power fluctuation, Level 62; height, 1.82 meters; weight, 81 kilograms; left arm length..., no soul bone attached. Overall assessment: Soul Emperor; physical strength, Soul Emperor; physical power, to be tested."

Ye Xiaosheng's complexion was actually not good, because these data were completely consistent with his body, which made him feel as if he were standing here stripped naked, being measured by someone.

Actually, having this feeling was normal; Su himself felt the same way the first time, having the feeling of being seen through by others.

After all, for a Soul Master, these data belonged to private data.

The subsequent tests were also very smooth, especially when it was He Cai Tou's turn. Lin Jiayi immediately noticed He Cai Tou, because He Cai Tou's skin color was very similar to the nobles of the Sun Moon Empire.

It does not rule out that the author had the idea of deliberately blackening the Sun Moon Empire, but it was more or less related to that, anyway, those who know, know...

"Physical strength, Level 74! Physical toughness, Level 68; soul power, Level 55; bone age, 17; height, 2.02 meters; soul bone attached, Trunk Bone..."

As the captain, He Cai Tou himself had received all the resources of the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan. Originally, Su Yu intended to accept the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan, but later he found that rather than accepting this kind of plan, it was better to go to Mingde Hall to study; after all, Su Yu had long since memorized the food supplements of Shrek Academy.

As for the production steps, Su Yu really wasn't worried about not finding them. After all, there are no airtight walls in the world. Since he could find the place of origin, he could naturally find the method of production. However, the difference in this was the difference between spending more money and spending less money.

As for the Soul Guidance machine in front of him, Su Yu could have built it half a year ago. If Su Yu remembered correctly, in his family, the Tang Sect, and the Wanjing Sect, there were several such Soul Guidance machines.

As for the creator, that was naturally Su Yu himself.

Ever since he came to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Su Yu could also realize the memory sharing between his main body and his clone. Previously, the distance between the main body and the clone was too far, and many things could only be shared intermittently.

Now that he had entered the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, a large amount of memories and things learned were synchronized into Su Yu's mind, among which the thing Su Yu cared about most was the matter of the candidates chosen to go to Shrek back then.

The current Luo Yu was already a Soul Engineer infinitely close to Level 6. Because he had to take into account soul power cultivation at the time, the aspect of Soul Guidance Devices was delayed a bit, but now it was different. Su Yu came to the Sun Moon Empire to cultivate, and all he needed was to enter Mingde Hall to study and then wait for an opportunity.

As for whether he could learn anything, he didn't care at all, because there was another person studying in Mingde Hall, and he was also a Core Disciple of Mingde Hall, Luo Yu.

Su Yu was the last one to test. Don't ask why; if you ask, it's because the protagonist is often the last one to appear.

"Physical strength, Level 55; physical toughness, Level 60; soul power fluctuation, Level 47; height, 1.85 meters; weight, 70 kilograms; left arm length..., no soul bone attached. Overall assessment: Soul King; physical strength, Soul King; physical power, to be tested."

This was still Su Yu deliberately modifying the data through Spirit Power; otherwise, except for soul power, height, and weight, the other data would have to be increased by at least 25 levels on this basis.

Ever since Su Yu absorbed the Life Gold, it not only made his physical strength grow terrifyingly, but Su Yu had never stopped hunting Soul Beasts. In the mountains of the Sun Moon Empire, Su Yu had also hunted Soul Beasts many times, turning their Soul Rings into nourishment for his Spirit Power and body.

Now, if one were to talk about true strength, Su Yu could be certain that even Ma Xiaotao at full burst could not be his opponent, because as early as a year ago, Ji Juechen had already been defeated by Su Yu.

That battle did not last long, and it was only after that that Ji Juechen realized the gap between himself and Su Yu, so he rarely came to spar with Su Yu afterward.

What Su Yu wanted to cultivate was the concept that he was a pure Soul Master, so that Jing Hongchen would not need to pay too much attention to him.

As for the pressure, let He Cai Tou handle it.

Su Yu's data could only be called outstanding, not shocking to the world like He Cai Tou's, but Su Yu's age was indeed somewhat surprising: fourteen years old!

All this information converged in Lin Jiayi's mind; even though he firmly believed that the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Technology had long surpassed the Three Great Empires and Shrek, he still had to admire the powerful comprehensive quality of Shrek Academy.

It was no wonder they could contend with them by relying on their martial souls alone.

These data would all be sent to Jing Hongchen's hands without a single omission, and these precious data also became important information used by Jing Hongchen to study Shrek.

Next was the Soul Guidance Power Tester; Su Yu had already made this thing before, so at worst, he could just lower the power a bit, just lower it by twenty-five levels.

The Soul Guidance Power Tester was larger in volume than the previous Soul Guidance Body Tester; this instrument occupied about one-tenth of the room's area, and the most important part was a heavy, leather-covered striking area in the center, the specific material of which the Shrek Academy group was not clear about, but this striking area was a full square meter in size; the power test was very simple, just strike it with all one's might. The evaluation was also conducted based on soul power levels, which was the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy's own evaluation standard.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Low, rumbling sounds rang out one after another; in this test, the performance of the Shrek Academy Soul Guidance Department students was not that prominent.

After all, they were also Soul Guidance Department students who focused more on improving their own soul power, including their Soul Rings, which were mainly for augmenting their own soul power. Including Ye Xiaosheng, they struck one after another, yet not a single evaluation could reach Level 60.

It was He Cai Tou's turn again!

The current He Cai Tou could be said to be the center of attention; the more prominent his performance was, the deeper the admiration everyone felt for He Cai Tou.

Only just now did Ye Xiaosheng realize why He Cai Tou had been appointed as the captain!
