Chapter 133: Soul Guidance Exchange Tournament

"They are too arrogant. Not only did they humiliate us, they also humiliated Shrek, saying we only know how to bully the weak. We couldn't take it, which is why we attacked..." a wounded Level 4 Soul Engineer said.

"Their strength isn't very high. If it were just Soul Guidance Devices, it wouldn't be hard for us to suppress them at the same level. However, ever since students from Mingde Hall joined them, it has been very difficult for us to win. There is one person among them who even Brother Cai Tou is no match for," He Caitou couldn't help but sigh.

"I, Wang Shaojie, a Level 5 Soul Engineer, is there anyone from Shrek who dares to challenge me?" Wang Shaojie also came to join in the fun. In their previous interactions, Wang Shaojie had always been quite arrogant and unruly. Now that there was an opportunity, he certainly wanted to spar with the Shrek students.

"I'll go! I'm also a Level 5 Soul Engineer. I don't believe I'll lose to this guy!"

Among the Shrek students, a student named Tu Xiangwen stood up indignantly, walked to the center of the plaza, and arrived in front of Wang Shaojie.

Although the quality of Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire is indeed inferior to Shrek's, when it comes to Soul Engineers, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is indeed a big step ahead of Shrek. It is no exaggeration to say that among Soul Engineer academies of the same level, it is very difficult for Shrek's students to defeat students from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

However, those sent over for exchange and study this time were all among the top batch of students from Shrek's Soul Guidance Department; they could be said to be the representative figures of Shrek's Soul Guidance Department.

This Soul Guidance Exchange Tournament contained too many implications.

Their battle was like a battle between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek; it was a battle between the top future Soul Guidance talents of the Sun Moon Empire and the Three Great Empires!

"I announce that today's first Soul Guidance Exchange Tournament officially begins." The person presiding was also a student from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

As their voice fell, the plaza began to boil. This sound included not only the cheers of Shrek students but also the cheers of students from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

This Tu Xiangwen from Shrek was also one of the Core Disciples of the Soul Guidance Department. Although they were not yet fully an Inner Court student, entering the Inner Court was only a matter of time.

"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Level 5 Soul Engineer, Wang Shaojie." Wang Shaojie smiled contemptuously.

"Shrek student, Level 5 Soul Engineer, Tu Xiangwen." As a Shrek student, although they knew what this match meant, they still maintained the necessary composure.

After both sides announced their names, they retreated to the edges of the plaza. A large number of Soul Guidance Cannon barrels instantly covered Tu Xiangwen's body, while a Melee Soul Guidance Device appeared in Wang Shaojie's hand.

Ever since witnessing Luo Yu's fighting style back then, Wang Shaojie had also learned to be smart. Not only were they prepared with a Soul Guidance Shield, but even defensive soul guidance armor was prepared.

"The match begins!"

Following the call that the match had begun, Wang Shaojie's figure sprang out like a leopard, the Flying Soul Guidance Device on their back spewing blue flames as they rushed sharply toward Tu Xiangwen.

Tu Xiangwen was not idle either; a large number of metal cannon barrels covered them. Upon counting, there were actually more than fifty!

Dense Soul Guidance Rays conducted a carpet-style bombardment on Wang Shaojie. In just two seconds, at least a hundred Soul Guidance Rays were fired.

However, just when everyone thought Wang Shaojie was going to use a Soul Guidance Shield to take it head-on, two Soul Guidance Cannon barrels quickly emerged from Wang Shaojie's arms, and two rays of light of different colors were also fired from the barrels.

"Click."

A crisp sound came from Wang Shaojie's body. Su Yu knew this was a Shock Cannon; its function was to produce a shock, which could not only use the twisting force of the shock to tear the opponent apart but could also counter this kind of dense Soul Guidance Ray.

As for the other red ball of light, it was a High-Explosive Shell. After destroying the dense Soul Guidance Rays, it was the perfect time to attack Tu Xiangwen.

Watching this scene, Su Yu felt that Wang Shaojie had indeed made progress. At the very least, they were no longer the guy who only knew how to rely on a Melee Soul Guidance Device to fight to the death with the opponent.

"Boom!"

A piercing explosion sounded. The dense Soul Guidance Rays were broken in an instant, and a red High-Explosive Shell flew sharply toward Tu Xiangwen.

Tu Xiangwen was not nervous; they adjusted the angle of attack and released Soul Guidance Rays once more toward the direction of the High-Explosive Shell.

Were they not afraid of the Soul Guidance High-Explosive Shell?

At this very moment, not only Wang Shaojie but even the onlookers had the same question in their hearts.

However, the next moment, the High-Explosive Shell suddenly exploded in the air, and a small mushroom cloud rose more than twenty meters above the plaza!

Using Soul Guidance Rays to detonate Wang Shaojie's High-Explosive Shell, while simultaneously using the shockwave of the explosion to slow down Wang Shaojie's forward speed.

This tactic was indeed steady.

The subsequent battle fell into a stalemate. As long as Wang Shaojie accelerated, Tu Xiangwen would immediately perform a volley, making Wang Shaojie not dare to close the distance at all.

If Wang Shaojie activated a Soul Guidance Shield to force their way in, there was a sixty percent chance of failure, because a Level 5 Soul Guidance Shield of the same level is difficult to withstand a volley of Level 5 Soul Guidance Rays.

Even if Wang Shaojie wore soul guidance armor, it was the same. Unless their speed was fast enough, it was impossible to have a chance to get close to Tu Xiangwen, and they couldn't even enter the one-hundred-meter range around Tu Xiangwen.

"I don't believe it! How much longer can you suppress me!"

Wang Shaojie frantically drove the Flying Soul Guidance Device, constantly dodging the incoming Soul Guidance Rays.

As time passed, the distance between Wang Shaojie and Tu Xiangwen was constantly closing.

One hundred meters, ninety meters, eighty meters...

Five minutes later, Wang Shaojie's Soul Guidance Shield had begun to become fragmented, but they were still constantly closing the distance.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters!

"In this battle, you are bound to lose!"

A roar came from Wang Shaojie's mouth. The next second, a Soul Guidance Ray hit their Soul Guidance Shield hard, and the Level 5 Soul Guidance Shield shattered instantly.

Fortunately, Wang Shaojie finally arrived at Tu Xiangwen's side before their soul power was exhausted.

It could be seen that Wang Shaojie's Soul Guidance Sword had already stabbed toward them. Although the soul power consumption was huge, Wang Shaojie's strike was still very steady. With one sword thrust, it actually transformed into three clear sword flowers in the air, just like three blooming roses, covering all the vital points of Tu Xiangwen's entire body.

Just this one strike, if it hit Tu Xiangwen, would be enough to cause Tu Xiangwen severe injury on the spot, and it might even endanger their life.

But Tu Xiangwen did not panic because of the impending danger. A blue halo appeared, colliding directly with the three sword flowers.

Tu Xiangwen knew that facing this strike, they could only take it head-on. If they chose to flee, there would simply not be enough time. It would be better to use all their remaining soul power on the Soul Guidance Shield; only in this way could they minimize the damage.

The Soul Guidance Shield collapsed instantly, and the three sword flowers also collapsed instantly. For a moment, both of them flew backward together, slamming heavily onto the ground of the plaza.

"I announce that today's first Soul Guidance Exchange Tournament is a draw!"

After inspection, both sides had exhausted their soul power and could no longer continue to fight, so it could only be regarded as a draw.

In the teaching building, looking at this scene, Lin Jiayi shook their head slightly and said to Jing Hongchen beside them: "Hall Master, should we send some Mingde Hall disciples up?"

"That works. I want to see how many of these Shrek students can defeat our Mingde Hall disciples at the same level." Jing Hongchen agreed with Lin Jiayi's proposal.

Now it was a Soul Guidance Exchange Tournament between the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and Shrek students. As long as they won more, it would prove that Shrek Academy was inferior to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.

Having previously lost to Shrek Academy in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy competition, now that there was a chance for revenge, how could Jing Hongchen not care?

"How about for the last match today, we let Luo Yu go up and try?" Lin Jiayi thought of Luo Yu immediately. It had to be said that when mentioning the word genius, the first person they would think of would definitely be Luo Yu.

Because, in these years, no student could be like Luo Yu, who in just over two years, stepped from a Level 2 Soul Engineer to the level of a Level 6 Soul Engineer, and was even able to fight Xiao Hongchen to a standstill for a short time when they were a Level 4 Soul Engineer!

Later, they stood out in Mingde Hall and were eventually designated as an official team member for the next competition!

Such a person, placed in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, was simply a textbook figure!

"Let him go and try against that He Caitou. I want to see if Shrek's next generation of official team members can defeat our official team members!" Speaking the last sentence, a strong light of excitement instantly erupted from his eyes.

Perhaps, for him, being able to defeat Shrek was a wish he would pursue his entire life!

Not just him, but countless Soul Engineers in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy had the same wish; this was an obsession, and also a force that constantly drove them forward!

The second student took the stage; it was a female student from Mingde Hall. If she were here, one would definitely be very familiar with her: it was Nana, who had been knocked unconscious by Su Yu's Soul Sealing Technique during the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's point battle a year and a half ago.

After more than a year of growth, Nana had matured quite a bit. Although her skin tone was not as fair and tender as Ju Zi's, she had a healthy wheat-colored complexion, and her height of over 1.8 meters was considered quite prominent in a crowd.

That pair of eyes no longer held the immaturity of a year ago; gazing at the Shrek group opposite her, sharp sparks seemed to be blooming in her eyes.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, sixth grade, Reality Control Soul Guidance Department, Nana."

Hearing this voice, Su Yu was too lazy to continue watching the battle. Anyway, if they were going to lose, they would lose; being less skilled than others was just being less skilled.

There was no need for Su Yu to make a move; otherwise, it would only expose his actual combat strength. The more powerful a person was, the easier it was to be targeted, and his identity was so sensitive.

If Shrek couldn't even resolve this bit of crisis, then it could only be said that the people sent over were a bit too incompetent.

After leaving the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Su Yu searched for his old man Su Xinyuan and his old mom Mu Hanyan in Mingdu based on the aura of their souls.

Sure enough, in one of the most bustling streets, Su Yu found the figures of the two of them.

Su Xinyuan, in a luxurious robe of the Sun Moon Empire, was taking a leisurely stroll down this street while holding onto Mu Hanyan, who was in a pure white long dress, occasionally greeting the dignitaries passing by.

Good grief, look at this life they were living; their own son was suffering and toiling at the academy, yet the two of you were off on a honeymoon in the Sun Moon Empire. No wonder I couldn't find you two after I returned home.

Su Yu walked quickly behind the two and coughed heavily twice.

It had to be said that these two coughs were quite effective, causing both Su Xinyuan and Mu Hanyan to tremble in unison and turn their heads to look at Su Yu with surprised expressions.

"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we go back. Wait until your mother and I finish shopping."

Su Xinyuan glared at the suddenly appearing Su Yu with an unhappy face, his expression full of disdain.

Mu Hanyan happily took Su Yu's hand and asked with concern: "Let Mother take a good look and see if my Yu'er has lost weight."

As she spoke, she reached out and pinched Su Yu's cheek.

"Can you wait to talk about whatever it is? Your father promised to accompany me to finish walking the Sun and Moon Street in Mingdu." Mu Hanyan said with a pout while pinching Su Yu's cheek, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness.

Mom, you're already in your forties, how can you still...

Looking at his own mother, who seemed like a child who hadn't grown up, Su Yu just wanted to cover his face in helplessness. What kind of parents have I ended up with...

Carrying helplessness and bitterness, Su Yu watched the two of them board a Soul Guidance Vehicle, and only a long sigh could express his feelings.

The moon set in the west, but Mingdu remained brightly lit. In this highly modernized Mingdu, everything was so easy to make people have illusions.

Finding the residence of Su Xinyuan and Mu Hanyan was actually not difficult, because Old Chen had followed them too.

When Su Yu found Mu Hanyan and Su Xinyuan on the street, he had already discovered Old Chen's tracks.

After asking Old Chen, Su Yu also chose to wait for them to return at their residence.

The place where they were staying was an extremely simple residence, far from being as luxurious as the Su Family. After asking Old Chen, he learned that this was Mu Hanyan's home back in the day.

Everything here revealed a taste of simplicity and unadorned beauty; whether it was the furniture or the floor, one could see the traces of time.

In the living room, there was a painting; rather than calling it a painting, it would be more appropriate to call it an extremely realistic photograph.

In this photograph, one could not only find Su Xinyuan and Mu Hanyan, but even some of the current teachers of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.

This picture was clearly a group photo of the class Su Xinyuan and Mu Hanyan were in back then. On the back of this painting, the date and the names of Su Xinyuan and Mu Hanyan were inscribed.

"It seems you two lived quite comfortably back then. If your classmates weren't on good terms, given the vengeful nature of you two, I reckon you would never have hung this painting up even if it killed you."
