Chapter 136: The Myth of Invincibility

Looking at the change in He Caitou's expression, Luo Yu could not help but praise inwardly: "It seems the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan was not in vain; he must have discovered something."

He Caitou rose once again, and the Flying Soul Guidance Device on his back sprayed out blue flames; the powerful thrust instantly pulled distance between him and Luo Yu.

What was surprising was that Luo Yu, as his opponent, did not pursue, watching blankly as He Caitou put distance between them.

What is this? This is Luo Yu's self-confidence!

In the eyes of the crowd in the stands, this was the self-confidence belonging to the strong.

In an inconspicuous spot in the stands, a man sitting in a wheelchair pointed at Luo Yu and spoke slowly: "This is the junior you mentioned, right? Looking at it now, your judgment back then was indeed not wrong."

"It is only a pity that His Majesty once issued a decree that no member of the royal family may have contact with Mingde Hall; otherwise, I fear Your Highness could have met this junior of mine long ago." Ju Zi did not change her expression at all; she knew that she absolutely could not show any abnormality now.

In Xu Tianran's eyes, Ju Zi was his personal property, and Ju Zi could only belong to him; she could not have the slightest thought for anyone else, not even if she recognized Luo Yu as her younger brother!

This was Xu Tianran after he had become crippled; his psychology had long since become somewhat pathological, and it was precisely because of this pathological psychology that his ruthless methods were perfectly interpreted.

The future of the Sun Moon Empire was, to a large extent, held in the hands of this young man.

Understanding the hidden meaning behind the words, Xu Tianran naturally knew what Ju Zi meant: "I understand. After this competition ends, can you arrange it? I would like to meet with Luo Yu."

This prince and His Highness was also a ruthless man; although his legs had been severed at the root and even his ability to do 'that' had been ruined, he was still able to suppress the other princes of the Sun Moon Empire, find the culprit who had plotted against him, and ultimately have that person slow-sliced in their own bedchamber.

However, in this recent period, the health of the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire had also begun to decline, and he was basically bedridden. It was precisely because the Emperor was becoming increasingly frail that the other princes who were qualified to compete began to stir.

Everyone knew that this Crown Prince was disabled, and it was precisely because of this one flaw that Xu Tianran felt some headaches. What he needed now was a method to kill with a single blow, and this student of Mingde Hall, this disciple of Jing Hongchen, was the best breakthrough point.

When he looked at Luo Yu, Luo Yu also felt something unusual; a burning gaze had passed through the crowd and landed on him. When he used his peripheral vision to observe, he discovered Ju Zi and Xu Tianran.

"Since I want to cast a long line to catch a big fish, then let's use this battle as bait."

As He Caitou pulled away again, the battle situation once again fell into a stalemate, but the atmosphere in the stands was not affected by the stalemate of the battle.

On the contrary, the Shrek students were all a bit nervous, and some students even asked nervously: "Su Yu, do you think the captain can win?"

"I don't know." Su Yu had no intention of answering them at all; the Luo Yu on the field now was being controlled by Su Yu's main body's consciousness, and multitasking was not a difficult task.

Especially for a Necromancer like Su Yu, and furthermore, the stands didn't require any mental effort at all.

"I will not lose! Absolutely not!"

He Caitou let out a roar, and all the Soul Guidance Cannon barrels on his body bloomed with astonishing light simultaneously: red, black, blue, purple...

The various colors of the Soul Guidance devices mixed together, as brilliant as fireworks under the night sky.

However, beneath He Caitou's feet, because of this powerful strike, cracks spreading outward for several meters appeared with him at the center.

Watching the dense attacks that looked like fireworks filling the sky, Luo Yu did not panic; in his eyes, everything seemed to have been slowed down.

The blood-colored wings on his back flapped slowly, and he could not help but say in his heart: "What a pity, this body is still not as strong as the main body. However, Brother He, I am sorry, I must win this battle!"

Luo Yu suddenly retracted his wings and landed steadily on the Soul Guidance Trial Ground. He exerted force with his feet, and the moment he took his first step, even Fan Yu, an Eight-level Soul Engineer, felt a terrifying fluctuation!

With one step, a teeth-aching cracking sound erupted from the trial ground, and several cracks spread across the ground.

Luo Yu's speed became faster and faster, so fast that even He Caitou could not see him clearly, but the dozens of attacks that fell still locked onto Luo Yu steadily.

The first attack aimed at Luo Yu like a Soul Guidance Cannonball, but was avoided by Luo Yu with astonishing speed.

The second, third, and fourth followed closely behind, but were still dodged by Luo Yu.

He Caitou realized something was wrong, because the opponent was constantly closing the distance with him. If Luo Yu got close again, not only would he be caught in his own attacks, but he might even be directly eliminated by Luo Yu!

After discovering the clue, He Caitou also began to pull away from Luo Yu in the arena, turning back from time to time to counterattack with Soul Guidance Cannons to suppress the fast-moving Luo Yu.

After just a few seconds, the barrage in the sky fell simultaneously as if it had a target, and the direction of the fall was exactly where Luo Yu was.

However, this attack, which felt like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, continued to fall, and the entire Soul Guidance Trial Ground was trembling slightly.

Every time Luo Yu moved, large areas of cracks, collapses, and craters blasted out appeared on the ground.

Every attack was dodged by Luo Yu. This judgment, this speed, and the use of Soul Guidance Devices shocked not only Fan Yu, but even Jing Hongchen, who was watching the battle.

Soul Guidance Propulsion Device, Flying Soul Guidance Device, the Retreat Bracelet that forced his own displacement, and the Soul Guidance Hook Claw used for leverage...

These seemingly simple but perfectly utilized Level 4 and Level 5 Soul Guidance Devices allowed Luo Yu to perfectly dodge all of He Caitou's attacks.

When that blood-colored figure of Luo Yu broke through layers of blockade, He Caitou also felt that something was wrong.

It was another premeditated Super Energy-Gathering Soul Guidance Cannon, and that same slender Soul Guidance Cannon barrel.

Looking at the Soul Guidance Cannons in both their hands, Jing Hongchen also realized that something was wrong and was about to speak to have Fan Yu stop them, but he was a step too late.

A pitch-black beam of light collided head-on with the light pillar as thick as a water bucket from He Caitou.

In an instant, the entire arena was submerged in blinding strong light; this strong light lasted for a full second or more.

When the strong light dissipated, a figure on the arena was sent flying horizontally toward the outside of the field.

Who was that?

Who exactly lost?

The same question filled everyone's minds. When they refocused their eyes and landed their gazes on the center of the field, they saw Luo Yu's standing figure.

Won, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy won!

"Defeat Shrek, the Sun Moon Empire must win, Luo Yu must win!"

…………

Watching He Caitou being carried away, Su Yu also transferred his consciousness back to his main body, then rose and quietly left the Soul Guidance Trial Ground following the stretcher.

Leave the rest to you, Luo Yu. Although I fought this battle, I am the main body after all.

After leaving the trial ground, everyone was shouting Luo Yu's name. Not only them, but even Jing Hongchen was cheering excitedly!

Won, won...

We defeated Shrek!

If it were any other Shrek team member, Jing Hongchen would not be this excited, but they were facing Shrek's starting team members!

The opponent's starting member, a Level 55 Soul King and also a Level 6 Soul Master, was actually defeated by Luo Yu, who was only Level 48.

The gap in soul power, the gap in age, and the gap in physical fitness...

Under these obvious gaps, Luo Yu won!

Won without a doubt!

…………

"Brother Cai Tou, are you alright?" Su Yu asked slowly, looking at the waking He Caitou.

He Caitou did not show the decadence of defeat; he simply sat up slowly, looked at Su Yu, and said, "Su Yu, I lost..."

"Winning and losing are very normal things. No matter what, we must know not to be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat. The future is still long; one win or loss doesn't mean anything."

Su Yu could only comfort He Caitou, hoping that He Caitou would be able to walk out of the shadows soon.

Because, he couldn't possibly tell him that the one who fought you today was still me...

After comforting He Caitou for a while, Su Yu left the infirmary, gave some instructions to Fan Yu, and then returned to his dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, Su Yu did not continue to study Soul Guidance Devices, but instead transferred his consciousness to Luo Yu, to see what would happen next from the perspective of a third party.

When Luo Yu left the Soul Guidance Trial Ground, the crowd following behind Luo Yu had still not dispersed. Not only were the students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy excited, but even the teachers watching the battle and Hall Master Jing Hongchen were extremely excited.

It was not until Luo Yu disappeared into Mingde Hall that the crowd dispersed.

Upon returning to Mingde Hall, Luo Yu immediately received a notification from Jing Hongchen.

When Luo Yu arrived before Jing Hongchen, he discovered that not only was Jing Hongchen there, but other Level 9 Soul Engineers of Mingde Hall were present as well.

"Disciple Luo Yu, greets the Hall Master and all the honored guests."

The necessary etiquette still had to be performed; it seemed that because of this battle, Luo Yu's status would be even more valued in the future.

Looking at the youth before him, Jing Hongchen knew that this exchange tournament had not only achieved its intended effect but had far exceeded his expectations. A craze for learning Luo Yu's fighting style would surely break out within the academy in the future.

And the number of people choosing to see Luo Yu and applying to Mingde Hall would also greatly increase.

The subsequent matters were entirely about commendations and encouragement, as well as discussions among a group of big shots. The most important news that could be extracted from it was that the experiment on Number One had made new progress.

After this battle, Luo Yu announced that he had gained some enlightenment and was about to go into seclusion.

Jing Hongchen did not doubt this disciple of his; after all, having experienced such a battle, it was normal to have gained some enlightenment.

The subsequent events all took place within Mingde Hall. In order to promote Luo Yu's learning, Jing Hongchen even specially permitted him to visit Number One Experimental Subject.

However, what Su Yu felt regretful about was that Jing Hongchen did not take Luo Yu to see the Embryo of Xue Di. Otherwise, if he could have known the location in advance, he might have been able to swipe this thing before the Body Sect launched their sneak attack.

That would have been perfect, but the heavens did not give him the chance, because that precious item was something Jing Hongchen had reserved for his own grandson.

Since he couldn't see it, he could only wait for an opportunity; the rest would be left to the Body Sect.

At night, in Su Yu's Spirit Sea, a weak purple dragon soul slowly opened its eyes. Looking at the weak dragon soul before him, Su Yu slowly said, "After two years, you have finally regained consciousness."

"This is your Spirit Sea, right? I remember that I was voluntarily absorbed by you under the instruction of Di Tian. How did I regain consciousness?" The purple-eyed magic dragon before him looked at Su Yu in disbelief.

"This is my Spirit Sea. When I absorbed your Soul Ring, I used a special method to preserve your soul, which was about to dissipate. Now you can be considered a part of my Soul Ring."

Su Yu said slowly. Although this old dragon was only a subspecies of the Dragon Clan that was about to reach the end of its life, it was at least his first ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Some things are always worth commemorating.

"My memory is a bit chaotic. I need to sleep for a while..."

The state of the purple-eyed magic dragon had not fully recovered; now he had just woken up, and his soul still needed to recuperate.

"It seems our initial idea was a success."

After the old dragon fell asleep, the figure of Yi Lao appeared in Su Yu's Spirit Sea and said slowly.

"However, it is not yet perfect. There are some things that I estimate he will need to wait until you obtain your next Soul Ring for me to further improve. Otherwise, even if it succeeds, their souls will remain in an extremely weak state like this."

Yi Lao pointed at the sleeping old dragon and explained to Su Yu.

Su Yu also replied, "This was just a hypothesis of mine at the time; who knew it could be realized now? Since it succeeded the first time, there will be a second and a third. But Teacher, can I also convert the Darkness Power of Undead Magic into Light Power?"

When he learned that Electrolux had once converted ultimate light into ultimate darkness, a similar idea was born in Su Yu's mind.

Xue Di's power was ignited by the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed of Wang Dong's family, causing a reversal effect where things turned into their opposites, nearly transforming into Ultimate Fire. That is to say, under certain conditions, Su Yu, who inherited the pure Darkness Power of Electrolux, could also reverse it into ultimate light.

"I do not suggest you do this. The risks of doing so are extremely high; even I almost failed because of it back then. If you go and attempt it rashly now, there will only be a dead end. As your teacher, I do not allow you to attempt it recklessly!"

Electrolux's expression was serious; clearly, the risk involved was so great that even he dared not easily make a judgment.
