Chapter 132: The Challenge of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy

It was fortunate for Huo Yuhao that he met Xuan Ziwen; if he had met any other teacher, whether he could guarantee he wouldn't be sabotaged would have been a question.

Human desire is like a boulder rolling down a high mountain; once it starts, it is very difficult to stop.

The next day.

In the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, there was no shortage of bustling crowds; some were rushing to class, while others were idling about, strolling through the campus.

Judging by their attire, some of them were students who had already been admitted into Mingde Hall. These students possessed a certain degree of arrogance; after all, in this Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, students who could get into Mingde Hall had always been the minority.

"That is Luo Yu. I'm afraid that Luo Yu has already reached the level of a Level 6 Soul Engineer by now!"

"Although some seniors are infinitely close to being Level 6 Soul Engineers, they still sigh in inferiority when facing Luo Yu."

"It is said that although Senior Luo Yu is not very old, he is already an official team member for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament."

…………

Looking from afar, Su Yu saw someone he couldn't be more familiar with: Luo Yu.

In fact, no matter how fast this Luo Yu progressed or how successfully he was mixing in the Sun Moon Empire, who would have thought that this was actually just a clone of Su Yu?

On the plaza of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, the two brushed past each other...

This was already the fourth day of studying at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. During this period, even He Cai Tou was sighing that this was completely incomparable to Shrek Academy; the soul guidance levels of the two sides were not on the same level at all.

Even Fan Yu was marveling at the advanced nature of the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance level. If nothing else, Su Yu dared to conclude that even Xian Lin'er, who possessed a List-ranking Carving Knife, could not compare to Xuan Ziwen, because the levels of the two were not in the same dimension.

Although he was in the same laboratory, he had absolutely no communication with the other three students, as if he were a person who did not exist.

The other three people, besides a Level 4 Soul Engineer named Si Chen, also included a Level 5 Soul Engineer named Du Yu, and a female Soul Engineer named Lu Shengxue, who was also Level 5; their strength was quite a bit worse than Zi Mu and the others.

Actually, Zhao Yufei had seen Su Yu's identity years ago, but too much time had passed, and he couldn't recall it for a moment.

After these few days of contact and understanding, he suddenly remembered that, in fact, his own mother, Mu Hanyan, had also been a student here at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

Mentioning Mu Hanyan, it seemed this teacher still had some memories of her.

According to Zhao Yufei's own account, Mu Hanyan was a junior who was a few classes behind him. At the time, she had numerous suitors, but later she was whisked away by Su Xinyuan, and she rarely appeared at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, though she still kept in touch with her alma mater.

Some time ago, his mother Mu Hanyan had even returned to Mingdu to live for a period.

Su Yu: "…………"

When Zhao Yufei spoke of recent events, Su Yu remembered that during that period, he seemed to have still been studying in Mingde Hall.

Sure enough, Su Xinyuan did things without a single flaw; even he himself couldn't track his own mother's whereabouts. However, this was normal; clearly, Su Xinyuan and Mu Hanyan were the true love, and he, this child, was likely just an accident.

Ever since he joined Shrek, he had been in a completely free-range state and had never been managed at all. Even when the Tang Sect in Heaven Dou City was attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult, his old man didn't seem to care at all.

There is no justice; is this even being a father?

Arriving at the entrance of Mingde Hall, after showing his identity and the identity Token that Jing Hongchen had given him, Su Yu entered Mingde Hall.

In an office, a fat middle-aged man stood opposite him. This middle-aged man was full of smiles and looked very kind.

"Has Young Master Su figured it out? Do you intend to join my Sun Moon Empire?" Jing Hongchen asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony; he found a sofa and sat down, saying, "Not quite, but Mirror Hall Master did promise me back then that I would be permitted to enter Mingde Hall to study. I wonder if that still counts?"

The current Su Yu came not only as a student of Shrek, but also as a business partner, because behind Su Yu, there was also a massive Su Family.

Given the current situation, as long as war had not yet broken out, the Su Family remained a trustworthy and highly sought-after partner.

Mingde Hall lacked money and needed even more to sell Soul Guidance Devices to the Three Great Empires; the Three Great Empires also needed the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Devices. This was, in itself, a win-win deal.

However, other people might not have the same grand scale as the Su Family, nor might they be as trustworthy as the Su Family.

Moreover, according to the information Jing Hongchen currently possessed, the Su Family did indeed have the momentum to develop within the Sun Moon Empire.

"Of course, this Hall Master has always kept his word, but..."

Speaking to this point, the fat on Jing Hongchen's face trembled, and he left the rest unsaid.

"But what? Mirror Hall Master, please speak freely." Su Yu could also guess his intent; since it was a transaction, he couldn't possibly be the one to suffer a loss.

Jing Hongchen's meaning was actually very clear: since he had given the spot, Su Yu must also pay something. Otherwise, as the Hall Master of Mingde Hall, he certainly wouldn't do something that would make him suffer a loss.

"This Hall Master has already brought out enough sincerity, so may I ask where Young Master Su's sincerity is?"

Looking at the leisurely Su Yu before him, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but ask.

Su Yu was also very calm as he presented a gold card and slowly said, "This is natural. As a businessman, I naturally won't let the Hall Master suffer a loss. This is a gold card containing two million Gold Soul Coins as a deposit for our cooperation this time. The subsequent amount will naturally be paid in full once the Hall Master's Soul Guidance Devices are in place. So, Hall Master, happy cooperation."

The cooperation with Mingde Hall had actually been brought to the table long ago, but without the affirmation of the Su Family's head, Jing Hongchen wasn't at ease. Furthermore, he was afraid of being scammed; although the Sun Moon Empire was large and wealthy, if they were scammed, they couldn't exactly go to the Three Great Empires to seek revenge. That might stir up a bunch of trouble...

Now that he had obtained Su Yu's affirmation and even the deposit had been paid, subsequent matters would naturally be negotiated by others. This was, in itself, a win-win cooperation.

Having obtained Jing Hongchen's permission, Su Yu officially left the Sixth Laboratory and moved into the One Number Experimental Zone. Jing Hongchen told Su Yu to choose any experimental desk he liked.

Su Yu also set his sights on a familiar number: Experimental Desk 1238.

Subsequent matters went much more smoothly, and he could stay in Mingde Hall. However, it was fortunate that he had gone to see Jing Hongchen once when he came out of the Sea God Pavilion; otherwise, if he had to use money to trade for a spot this time, it would have cost more than two million Gold Soul Coins.

Some things had actually been priced long ago, but the vast majority of people simply didn't have the qualifications to understand those prices.

Inside Mingde Hall, Su Yu could clearly feel that many powerful auras were hidden here. Moreover, in Mingde Hall, no matter the direction, there was invisible surveillance.

It was simply like being in a room full of cameras; every move Su Yu made was being watched tightly.

However, Su Yu didn't care about any of this. Now, there was only one thing he needed to do: study.

In any case, he had made a deal with Jing Hongchen; all he needed was to learn higher-level soul guidance knowledge. As long as time permitted, it didn't matter if he occasionally went to Mingde Hall to audit classes.

"Who are you? I remember there isn't a student like you in my class, right?" The Mingde Hall teacher who spoke was Luo Yu's former teacher, Menluo.

Su Yu slowly stood up, handed over a Token, and said, "I have already obtained the permission of the Mirror Hall Master to study in Mingde Hall. This is the Mirror Hall Master's order; please take a look, Teacher Menluo."

"Then why did you choose my classroom?" Menluo took the order and asked after confirming it was correct.

Su Yu couldn't possibly tell him that he only knew Menluo, so he said, "I heard that a genius Soul Engineer appeared in Mingde Hall named Luo Yu. Before this, you were Luo Yu's teacher. To be able to teach such an excellent student as Luo Yu, surely the teacher must also be extraordinary, which is why I chose to come and listen to your class."

"I see." As soon as these words were spoken, the originally serious expression of the old man Menluo was instantly filled with joy.

These words were indeed true, but Su Yu had a strange feeling—is it okay to praise oneself like this?

…………

Calculating carefully, the day the Body Sect comes to cause trouble in the future is not far off; at most, in half a year, the Body Sect will arrive.

There is no need to stir up trouble now; just wait here honestly. As for Luo Yu, there is no need to expose him for the time being. What he needs to do is act as an inside agent for Su Yu; once Su Yu is searched, all he has to do is transfer the items.

Jing Hongchen might suspect Su Yu, but he would absolutely never suspect a native of the Sun Moon Empire, especially a student who has followed him by his side for over a year: Luo Yu.

Having studied at Mingde Hall for about a month, Su Yu had also grown accustomed to everything in the Sun Moon Empire. Occasionally, he would go out for a walk. Although Lin Jiayi still tried to dissuade Su Yu from running around, saying he would have to face the consequences if something happened, Su Yu still went out on his own.

If his guess was correct, his father and mother were definitely still inside Mingdu!

In this seemingly calm Mingdu, Su Yu knew that there were still quite a few branches of the Holy Spirit Cult here. The Holy Spirit Cult needed soul sacrifices to complete their Tenth-Level Soul Guidance Device.

Although Su Yu was a student of Shrek Academy, he had not participated in the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan, nor had he been entrusted with important tasks like them. Originally, Su Yu could have completely declined this exchange study mission, but in order to win Xue Di, he had to go.

Otherwise, all his plans would fall short of success.

However, not long after walking, he discovered that a large crowd had already gathered in the square. Judging by the level of excitement, it seemed there was a show to watch.

"Today, let me, representing the sixth-year students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, learn about the strength of Shrek Academy's students. Those from Shrek opposite, if you have the guts, come and try."

Looking at the person on the stage shouting frantically, it was Wang Shaojie again, merely a Level 5 Soul Engineer. If he really went up against Ye Xiaosheng and the others, he would probably be beaten until his head was covered in bumps. However, Wang Shaojie was clearly not stupid enough to challenge a Six-Ring Soul Emperor; there must be someone backing him up behind this.

"Defeat them! Make Shrek crawl back home! Long live the Sun Moon Empire!"

"Long live the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Shrek is bound to lose!"

"Don't let them win a single match, don't give this bunch of bumpkins a chance, let them witness the power of our Sun Moon Empire!"

…………

The area around the square was in an uproar, with all kinds of shouts coming from every direction, all undoubtedly cheering for the Sun Moon Empire.

It was rare to give himself a day off. This time, it was probably some unlucky guy who got assigned to Xuan Ziwen's class and was then humiliated; otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a huge commotion.

When Su Yu squeezed through the crowd and reached the front, Su Yu saw a dark-faced He Cai Tou, as well as several injured Shrek students.

The other side also had several injured students. Just as Su Yu reached the edge of the field, a Shrek student happened to fly over.

Su Yu caught the student, set him down gently, and then brought him to the side of He Cai Tou and Ye Xiaosheng.

"Brother Sheng, Brother He, what on earth happened? How did it end up like this?"

Looking at the several injured people, the dark-faced He Cai Tou, and Ye Xiaosheng, who had already revealed his two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings, Su Yu asked subconsciously.

"This bunch of bastards from the Sun Moon Empire, this is the fourth time they've provoked us this month. When we were first assigned to classes, I was assigned to a class with someone named Xuan Ziwen, but their students humiliated our Shrek students time and time again. Later, we couldn't help it and started fighting them. At first, it was just those of the same level, but later, they even sent out Level 6 Soul Masters, and even their seniors from Mingde Hall took action."

Ye Xiaosheng said indignantly. Clearly, the storm regarding the competition between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was growing larger and larger.

"Didn't Teacher Fan Yu provide feedback to them?" Su Yu was a bit puzzled. Logically speaking, if such a thing happened, Fan Yu, as the team leader, would definitely come forward to handle it.

He Cai Tou helped the injured Shrek student up and said, "At first, Teacher Fan Yu negotiated with them, and they restrained themselves a lot. But as the conflicts increased later on, they changed their methods and turned it into the current sparring matches! Because it's voluntary, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy has no way to intervene."

"How many matches have we lost in these kinds of battles?" Su Yu asked, looking at the five or six injured students.

Ye Xiaosheng pondered for a moment and said, "We've fought seven matches this month, and we've lost four. If it weren't for the fact that we weren't there, how could they have won so many! What's even more hateful is that they even sent out students from Mingde Hall!"
