Chapter 14: The Rich Rely on Aptitude, the Poor Rely on Mutation!

On the afternoon of the second day, Huo Yuhao excitedly arrived in front of Su Yu's dormitory.

"Yu Hao, what's the rush?"

Su Yu was still a bit bleary-eyed. In the past few days, he had sparred with Wang Dong quite a few times, but for some reason, whenever Wang Dong couldn't win, he would activate his martial soul, never giving Su Yu a chance to turn the tables...

And so, Su Yu was taught a harsh lesson.

"I still have one Mysterious Water Pill here, given to me by Teacher Xiao Ya. I've already eaten one, and I want to give the remaining one to you." Huo Yuhao was still a bit naive, though in the eyes of Huo Gua, he was always helping him.

With Huo Gua saying it like that, it actually made Su Yu, who always claimed to have no conscience, feel a bit ashamed.

"How could I? You are more suited for the Mysterious Water Pill than I am. Such a precious item, how can I accept it?"

In all honesty, Su Yu didn't want it. It had nothing to do with anything else; it was purely a sense of guilt toward Huo Gua.

However, upon hearing Su Yu's refusal, Huo Yuhao felt a bit sad, his large eyes dimming slightly.

"Su Yu, don't you often say we are best friends? Why won't you accept it? Are you lying to me? Do you dislike me?" Huo Gua's three-part question dealt a direct critical hit to Su Yu.

Holy crap, aren't these my lines? Damn, I've flipped the car this time, holy crap...

Su Yu now wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He never expected Huo Gua to use the words he often said to question him. How could he refute this? He was already being spawn-camped; how could he argue back?

"I didn't..." Su Yu didn't even dare to speak. This innocent child Huo Gua was truly too naive.

"Then why are you refusing? You just don't treat me as a friend, you liar!" Huo Yuhao grew angrier as he spoke, and his body began to tremble.

Seeing that the situation was turning bad, Su Yu quickly said, "Alright, alright, I'll accept it, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What thing?" Looking at Su Yu's troubled expression, Huo Yuhao was also a bit confused.

Taking the Mysterious Water Pill handed over by Huo Gua, Su Yu said, "The reason I didn't want it is because you need the Mysterious Water Pill more than I do. So I hope you promise me that if you encounter difficulties in the future, you must tell me. It is precisely because we are best friends that we must help each other, not to mention your first soul ring is only ten years old."

Su Yu knew that was the unprecedented million-year Tian Meng, but Su Yu couldn't say that. He had to find some excuse for his refusal.

But to be honest, although Huo Gua was cheating his way through life, his background was truly worthy of sympathy. Having been in contact with Huo Gua for so long, anyone with a shred of conscience could feel the misery of this unlucky child.

Hearing Su Yu's words, Huo Yuhao almost blurted out, "My soul ring isn't ten years old..."

Huo Yuhao then returned to his grilled fish stall and continued selling his grilled fish.

Feeling the lingering scorching aura on Huo Yuhao, Su Yu also more or less guessed that Huo Yuhao had been to the side of Sea God Lake.

In the end, he had missed out on the academy's compensation, but Su Yu actually hoped that Huo Yuhao could latch onto Ma Xiaotao's thigh; that way, Huo Yuhao's future would no longer intersect with Wang Dong.

"It seems our Class Monitor is quite good to you, even giving away a Mysterious Water Pill. Not bad, not bad."

Wang Dong had seen everything, but given Wang Dong's family wealth, let alone a Mysterious Water Pill, even if the sect that refined the Mysterious Water Pill were wiped out, it wouldn't matter.

"Actually, I didn't want it. Huo Yuhao actually needs it more than I do."

After taking the Mysterious Water Pill, Su Yu sat cross-legged on the ground. As soon as he saw Su Yu take the pill, Wang Dong packed up his bedding and ran without a word.

As the Mysterious Heaven Technique circulated, the medicinal power of the Mysterious Water Pill was continuously refined. Huo Gua's aptitude had at least doubled because of one Mysterious Water Pill; he didn't know what kind of changes he would have after taking it.

Half an hour later, the impurities were expelled from his body. Looking at the foul stench all over himself, Su Yu now understood why Wang Dong had packed up and run; who the hell could stand this smell?

Running to the washroom and taking a comfortable bath, Su Yu felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

After the baptism of the Mysterious Water Pill, the circulation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique within his body was smoother than before, and his soul power circulated faster. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Huo Yuhao's boost, according to Su Yu's own estimation, his aptitude had increased by at least fifty percent.

"Sure enough, the poor must rely on mutation, otherwise they have to rely on the evil abilities of an Evil Soul Master. This gap is simply beating people to death at the starting line..."

After absorbing the medicinal power of the Mysterious Water Pill, Su Yu discovered that he had gained new insights into practicing the Mysterious Jade Hand and Capturing Dragon Controlling Crane. No wonder things like martial arts all emphasize aptitude and comprehension.

I get it now. Today, I have truly attained enlightenment.

Remember how Dou I wrote about Tang San's superb Hidden Weapon techniques, the Purple Demon Eye that could see through falsehoods, and the Mysterious Heaven Technique, etc.? Why couldn't later generations reach his height?

The bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, the bonus of the top-tier Tool Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer, the tempering of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the nourishment of immortal herbs—who could compare to this aptitude?

Throughout all the plots of Douluo, even Huo Gua didn't cheat this hard!

At this moment, Wang Dong poked his head in, sniffed carefully, and only entered after confirming there was no smell.

"Good for you, Su Yu, you made me unable to stay in the dormitory. Don't you know the consequences of eating a Mysterious Water Pill?" Looking at Su Yu who was practicing, Wang Dong was furious.

Su Yu didn't bother with Wang Dong. He took out the soul power testing Soul Guidance Device from his storage Soul Guidance Device, and it clearly displayed sixteen.

One Mysterious Water Pill allowed him to increase by one level. What would happen if he had a few more? What about the Soul Ascension Pill? Should he get a few more of those too?

Having made up his mind, Su Yu got up and left the dormitory. Although he couldn't go home from Shrek Academy for the time being, he could still contact the outside world through some communication Soul Guidance Devices.

Su Yu didn't convey too much, just told his old man to buy more pills that could increase soul power and aptitude.

Su Yu's old man was already a shrewd person and naturally knew Su Yu's intention. As a wealthy merchant, he naturally wouldn't be short of money...

After a period of development, Huo Yuhao had become somewhat famous, and there was always a long line in front of his grilled fish stall.

Su Yu also fulfilled his wish and learned grilled fish techniques from Huo Yuhao for a long time. Although it couldn't compare to Huo Gua's exaggerated skills, he had learned seventy or eighty percent. Although there were still shortcomings, Su Yu didn't force it.

Huo Gua's grilled fish technique mainly stemmed from his own Spirit Power, which was different from ordinary people.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed. During this time, Su Yu also received various pills that his old man had spent a lot of money to buy from other countries, totaling fifteen pills.

Among them were four Mysterious Water Pills, one Soul Ascension Pill, and the remaining pills didn't have such powerful effects, but Su Yu tried taking one of each. These three months directly increased Su Yu's soul power to Level 20.

Being rich is indeed the royal road; "pay-to-win" is the hard truth!

Su Yu didn't slack off either. Every time, he followed Huo Yuhao, wearing an Iron Vest, and running on the playground together. Su Yu didn't want to give up on glitching the Mysterious Heaven Technique; only then would his future growth have higher expectations!

In New Student Class One, after having Su Yu and Huo Yuhao, more people remained than in the original work, a full eighty people!

More than once, Su Yu beat back those who wanted to quit. It was precisely because of this that Su Yu also earned a new title: Vice Class Monitor!

Although he wasn't the real Vice Class Monitor, in the hearts of his classmates, he was no different from the real one.

Besides Huo Yuhao, the only one who kept helping them and keeping them was Su Yu!

Huo Yuhao's hard work was obvious to all, and Su Yu's persistence was also exceptionally dazzling. It was precisely because of the existence of these two people that New Student Class One became a place that everyone in the first year envied.

The weighted physical training that Huo Yuhao and Su Yu did after class every day also became a fine story. I don't know how many people were tricked by Su Yu into running together, but in the end, not a single one persisted...

Huo Yuhao persisted under Zhou Yi's strict requirements, and his gains were greater than anyone else's: one Mysterious Water Pill, one Soul Ascension Pill, and the new version of the cheat, the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
