Chapter 137: Shrek's Meeting
"Therefore, while your strength is still insufficient, you must absolutely not attempt it lightly!"
Electrolux warned Su Yu sternly. Clearly, the danger of such a thing far exceeded Su Yu's imagination. It was not that Electrolux was unaware of his physical condition, nor was he unaware of Su Yu's Spirit Power status.
However, Electrolux still stopped Su Yu, which showed that even attempting it in Su Yu's current state would be a nine-deaths-and-one-life situation; the danger involved went without saying.
"I understand, Teacher." Su Yu nodded and suppressed the thoughts in his heart. Since it was not possible now, he just needed to wait for a period of time. After all, he still had room for growth in the future; he was only level 47 right now.
His current soul power level was even one level lower than his clone, but his clone did not have as many means of attack as he did, nor did it have the terrifying physical constitution and Spirit Power of his true body.
In terms of combat power, even if the clone inherited the physical constitution of the true body, although it had an advantage in Soul Guidance Devices that Su Yu could not compare to, Su Yu only needed an engraving knife of the Blade of Judgment to know everything about Soul Guidance Devices.
If it were Su Yu's true body that entered the arena this time, then the opposing clone, Luo Yu, would only have two possibilities.
The first: to be defeated rapidly within three rounds.
The second: to be killed in an instant upon the first encounter!
…………
Shrek Inner Court.
"How much longer are you going to follow me? I'm going to cultivate." Wang Dong said to the young girl in front of him with some impatience.
In these days, he could no longer remember how many times he had been stopped by Meng Hongchen.
"Wang Dong, can you take me for a walk around Shrek Academy? I haven't been here long, and I'm not familiar with this academy yet." Meng Hongchen said cautiously.
However, her eyes were filled with joy.
Wang Dong was not a fool; he could roughly guess the other party's intentions. Looking at the infatuated girl opposite him, he couldn't help but feel a headache. This couldn't help but remind him of when he was in the first and second grades.
At that time, inside and outside the class, he didn't know how many girls were secretly slipping him notes and love letters every day, but without exception, after Wang Dong looked at them, he would throw them to Su Yu, letting that Su fellow politely return them.
"No, I still have to cultivate, so I can't accompany you for now. You can also find others to take you around to learn about the academy, such as Senior Bei Bei, or Senior Jiang Nannan, they would all be fine."
Wang Dong did not want to get too deeply involved with her. After all, the person he was waiting for now was Su Yu. Even if he was currently in the identity of a boy, he could not hold an attitude of playing around in the world.
Hearing Wang Dong's refusal, a trace of disappointment appeared on Meng Hongchen's face. "Alright, I understand. Then you must take me to visit the academy when you have time next time."
Hearing Meng Hongchen's words, Wang Dong's footing became unstable, and he nearly stumbled to the ground. Before leaving, he could only perfunctorily reply: "We'll talk about it later..."
Just after Meng Hongchen left in disappointment, Xiao Xiao, who happened to pass by, asked with some confusion: "Class Monitor, why didn't you agree to her?"
"Why should I agree to her? It's not like..."
Just as Wang Dong was about to speak, he suddenly retracted the second half of the sentence he was about to say.
"I think Meng Hongchen is actually quite good. Could it be that the Class Monitor has someone he likes? Let me guess who it is. Let me think... is it the gentle Nanmen Yun'er, or the domineering Wu Feng, or the ice-beauty Senior Ling Luochen..."
Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong with a playful expression, gossiping and listing all the seniors in the class and the Inner Court. Sure enough, Xiao Xiao's fujoshi nature hadn't changed a bit.
Wang Dong looked at Xiao Xiao helplessly and couldn't help but sigh up at the sky. "This young master is peerless in elegance; if there is any liking, it's them liking me. Sigh..."
Hearing Wang Dong's words, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Class Monitor, tell me, you wouldn't really like Su Yu, would you? Ever since Su Yu left, you've been absent-minded. Could it be that you really like boys?"
Hearing this, Wang Dong's heart shook. He immediately wanted to retort, but after a change of thought, he smirked at Xiao Xiao and said: "Speaking of which, Xiao Xiao, I remember that back then, you gave me over a dozen love letters. They are still in my dormitory now. How about when Brother He comes back, I give them to Brother He to take a look?"
The subject changed, and this time it was Xiao Xiao's turn to be shocked. Come to think of it, this was also Wang Dong's decision. Originally, those dozen love letters should have been returned by Su Yu, but Su Yu said to keep them for now as a memento.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xiao's face turned red instantly, and even the tips of her ears turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With their eyes meeting, Xiao Xiao shifted her gaze away, suppressing her shame and annoyance.
Speaking of those dozen love letters, they were still in Su Yu's bedside table...
"I'm sorry, Wang Dong, I have something to do, I'm leaving..."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xiao's figure disappeared from Wang Dong's field of vision, moving even faster than a rabbit.
When Wang Dong returned to the dormitory, he lay on Su Yu's bed, looking up at the ceiling, and said: "If you idiot had known sooner, perhaps you wouldn't have left..."

Sun Moon Empire, Mingde Hall.
"Achoo, who is scolding me?"
Su Yu, who was still carving a Soul Guidance Device, suddenly sneezed. He looked around in a daze, but there was nothing unusual around him.
"It seems my body is a bit uncomfortable lately. I'd better not be so tired."
Saying this, this Su fellow rubbed his nose and continued carving the Soul Guidance Device.
After the battle between Luo Yu and He Cai Tou, Shrek also realized the power of Soul Guidance Devices. Even He Cai Tou, who had experienced the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan, had been defeated by that young man. This couldn't help but make them wonder who that young man named Luo Yu was.
After inquiring through many sources, the reliable information gathered was as follows.
Name: Luo Yu. Age: 14. Had appeared in Star Luo City with a caravan and witnessed the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Later returned to the Sun Moon Empire and was admitted to Mingde Hall.
It ended there; no further information could be found. According to the information sent by Fan Yu, the current Luo Yu was only fourteen years old, but he had astonishing talent in Soul Guidance Devices.
He was already a Level 6 Soul Master, with level 48 soul power, and in terms of Soul Guidance Device combat and mastery of Soul Guidance Devices, he completely surpassed He Cai Tou.
It could be said that this was a genius cultivated by the Sun Moon Empire, a person born to counter Shrek!
However, the high-level officials of Shrek did not take this news to heart. In their eyes, all of this was just the rise of a genius, and Shrek did not lack geniuses, because what Shrek had were monsters even stronger than geniuses!
Although this matter was reported, it did not attract the attention of the Sea God Pavilion. Instead, what they cared about was Su Yu, who had not received the academy's education for a year and a half. Now his soul power was not even a large level behind He Cai Tou, and in terms of Soul Guidance, he was only at the level 4 stage.
Whether in terms of soul power or soul guidance, Su Yu had no outstanding progress, and his martial soul was not an ultimate martial soul either. This performance made Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er suspicious: had Su Yu really exhausted his potential?
It was precisely because of Su Yu's mediocre performance recently that he had gradually faded from the view of the academy's high-level officials. In the meetings of the Sea God Pavilion, Su Yu was almost no longer mentioned by the Sea God Pavilion.
However, there was one person who still held a skeptical attitude, and that person was Xuan Lao. He had always firmly believed that Su Yu was not simple. Even if he had delayed his studies for more than a year, it could not change his innate aptitude, not to mention that during the confrontation match, Su Yu had also been trying his best to hide himself.
Therefore, Xuan Lao held a very skeptical attitude toward Su Yu, and he did not dare to conclude whether Su Yu had really exhausted his potential.
Putting these aside, the content of the Sea God Pavilion's meetings had now become the arrangements for the Seven Monsters for the next session. The meeting now faced two problems: the first was the selection of substitute members for the next session, and the second was whether Su Yu should continue to serve as the captain of the main team?
However, regarding the first problem, they continued the selection method from last time.
But regarding the second problem, a serious disagreement arose within the Sea God Pavilion, and the key point of this disagreement lay in Su Yu.
"In view of Su Yu's performance, and the fact that Su Yu has not received education at the academy for over a year, we cannot determine whether Su Yu possesses his previous strength and command ability. Therefore, for the candidate for the next captain, we tentatively decide on Huo Yuhao."
"I think this matter is inappropriate. In the previous session, even though Su Yu's strength was insufficient, he was still able to command numerous students to win repeatedly. In subsequent battles, he even defeated opponents far stronger than himself with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I believe Su Yu should be allowed to serve as captain!"
…………
A rare disagreement appeared within the Sea God Pavilion, and regarding this, Xuan Lao had no choice but to announce that the matter would be postponed.
None of this information leaked out, because Xuan Lao knew that with Su Yu's personality, if he found out about this, it was very likely he would truly wash his hands of the matter; if Su Yu did not take the field at that time, it would be equivalent to directly losing a trump card.
After all, the powerful strength of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between him and Wang Dong was such that even when Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Nether White Tiger erupted with full force, it was not even one-tenth as good as the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Su Yu and Wang Dong!
What is this; this is the gap...
Thinking of this, Xuan Lao could only hope that the content of this discussion would not reach Su Yu; if Su Yu found out, it would truly be a case of killing the donkey after the grinding is done.
However, Su Yu received a message from Wang Dong, which told Su Yu everything that had happened in the Sea God Pavilion.
By the time Su Yu received the letter, it was already three days later; as for who delivered the letter, that matter would have to be asked of the people from the Su Family.
In Shrek City, there were also businesses belonging to the Su Family; originally, Wang Dong had only intended to let the people of the Su Family help deliver it to Star Luo City, but when Wang Dong revealed that Space Ring with the pink-blue gemstone, everything changed.
Wang Dong was received with the highest protocol by the person in charge of the Su Family's business in Shrek City, and this letter was also classified as top secret; they even mobilized Chen Lao to rush back overnight from the Sun Moon Empire, all to escort this letter and deliver it into Su Yu's hands.
Everyone knew what that Space Ring with the pink-blue gemstone represented within the Su Family, so no one dared to be negligent with this letter.
Even Chen Lao did not dare to believe it when he received the notification, but when the person in charge used a Soul Guidance Device to project the image of the ring that had been on Wang Dong's finger at the time, Chen Lao reacted instantly.
Taking the letter, Su Yu also used the Su Family's secret technique to open it; this kind of family secret technique could not be broken by brute force unless one was a Title Douluo, and if anyone else tried to break it with brute force, it would only result in the destruction of the letter.
There were not many people who knew this technique; apart from the direct line of the Su Family's Family Head, there were only a few others.
"It seems Shrek still doesn't quite trust me..."
Putting away the letter in his hand, Su Yu kept it well preserved.
In Mingde Hall, Su Yu had an illusion that perhaps, if he had chosen Mingde Hall from the beginning, his experiences might not have been so bumpy...
But he knew that if it hadn't been so bumpy, he would absolutely not have reached the height he was at now.
He had obtained everything he should have obtained, and from beginning to end, he had also fulfilled his promise to Dong'er...
"It seems I should go out for a walk; otherwise, if I stay in this Mingde Hall for too long, I really will go crazy..."
After simply packing his things and reporting to Lin Jiayi, he left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and headed to the place where Su Xinyuan was located.
However, Su Xinyuan had already returned to the Star Luo Empire, and he only saw his mother, Mu Hanyan.
"What's wrong, Yu'er? Did you encounter some troublesome matter?" Pinching Su Yu's face, Mu Hanyan sat down on the chair opposite Su Yu.
Looking at his gentle mother, Su Yu's somewhat chaotic heart seemed to be soothed, "You could say that. Mom, I have a question I want to ask you."
"Oh, what question is it? Tell Mom and let me hear it?" Mu Hanyan did not press for more, but like a listener, she prepared herself to listen.
Su Yu slowly turned his head, looked out the window, and said, "I want to know, back then, how did Dad manage to handle the family infighting and the situation of five people seizing power within the Su Family, while still keeping us, mother and son, safe?"
"Since Yu'er wants to hear it, then Mom must tell you properly." Mu Hanyan smiled gently; in her eyes, it was as if there were a pool of clear water, always so quiet and gentle.
"Back then, I made up my mind to follow your father and leave the Sun Moon Empire, coming to the Su Family in Star Luo City. At that time, I brought you, who was only a few months old, and just like that, returned to a Su Family that was happening to undergo a change in family power. At that time, your father was not the most promising heir, and on top of that, your father himself did not want to fight for the family's inheritance, but that was where it all began."
