Chapter 141: I Am the Sect Master

"As a student of Shrek Academy, you have no authority to inspect my belongings. Even if an inspection were required, it would have to be done by your Dean and Hall Master in person. Because I cannot be certain whether you might tamper with my things in private."

Nonsense. In this Sun Moon Empire, one cannot trust anyone. The best course of action now is to prove my innocence through Jing Hongchen himself; after all, a large portion of my storage soul guidance devices contain soul guidance blueprints.

This matter could be trivial or significant, so it is best to find someone reliable.

After a series of interrogations, with the composure Su had even before the Sea God Pavilion, how could any flaws appear? In the end, Su was still brought to Lin Jiayi's office.

"Can you let us inspect your storage soul guidance devices now?" The teacher in charge of the inspection spoke with an unfriendly tone, but in front of Lin Jiayi, he dared not act presumptuously.

Su Yu placed all his belongings into his storage soul guidance devices and handed them over to Lin Jiayi for inspection.

When Lin Jiayi took Su Yu's Blue Sapphire Ring, a hint of suspicion immediately rose between his brows. Upon discovering the Red Dust Protection inside Su Yu's storage soul guidance device, Lin Jiayi instantly felt that the young man before him was definitely suspicious.

Finally, when his gaze swept over those soul guidance blueprints, he did not pay much attention to them. Most of those items were Level 5 or 6 soul guidance blueprints, and their design techniques, schemes, and manufacturing methods were vastly different from those of Mingde Hall, so Lin Jiayi did not care about these things.

"Student Su Yu, perhaps you really need to explain properly why you have a sapphire storage ring, and this Level 9 Soul Guidance Device that came from the hands of the Hall Master." Lin Jiayi's expression was somewhat ugly. Although Su Yu's status was not as important as He Caitou's, his other identity was that of the heir to the Su Family, who collaborated with Mingde Hall.

"Since this soul guidance device came from the hands of the Hall Master, we had best go before the Hall Master to clarify things."

Su Yu did not show any panic; after all, this item must have left an indelible impression on Jing Hongchen.

"Very well, then I will have to trouble you to come with us. However, to prevent you from escaping, you must put this on first." Lin Jiayi took a deep breath and produced a bracelet.

This was a bracelet that restricted soul power; it would have no effect as long as it was not activated. Although it was not as effective as restriction handcuffs, Lin Jiayi believed it was more than enough for a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor like Su Yu.

After arriving at the office where Jing Hongchen was, Su Yu sat down on the guest chair quite naturally, looking at Jing Hongchen with indifference.

"What is the meaning of this? Why have you put a Restriction Bracelet on Young Master Su? Has Young Master Su committed some offense?"

Jing Hongchen was also somewhat bewildered. The reconstruction of Mingde Hall already had him overwhelmed, and now, seeing Su Yu brought to his office by Lin Jiayi and a teacher, and seeing the Restriction Bracelet on Su Yu's wrist, Jing Hongchen instinctively felt that the matter was not simple.

When Lin Jiayi took out Su Yu's Blue Sapphire Ring and the Red Dust Protection he had left behind as an entry ticket, he nearly blacked out and almost sprayed a mouthful of blood onto Lin Jiayi's face.

"Hall Master, when we were inspecting Su Yu, we discovered that he actually possessed a Blue Sapphire Ring, and inside it was a soul guidance device crafted by you, so we suspect..." Lin Jiayi looked at Jing Hongchen's shifting expression, unable to gauge what Jing Hongchen was thinking.

"Although there is some misunderstanding, I still feel that for some matters, it would be best to trouble the Hall Master to come out and explain. After all, they might not necessarily believe my words." Su Yu tapped lightly on the coffee table beside the guest chair and turned to look at the agitated Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen suppressed his anger and spoke slowly: "This Starlight Sapphire Ring is a family heirloom of the Su Family of the Star Luo Empire. As for this Level 9 soul guidance device, I gifted it to Senior Mu Lao when I visited Shrek Academy!"

"This, this, Hall Master, I..." Upon hearing this, both Lin Jiayi and that teacher were dumbfounded.

"Bastards! Why haven't you taken off the Restriction Bracelet yet? Is it not embarrassing enough?" Jing Hongchen slammed the table, causing the entire room to shake.

Su Yu waved his hand and spoke slowly: "I hope this kind of thing does not happen a second time. Furthermore, I do not wish to have my belongings inspected by people who don't know what they are doing. Who knows if you have ulterior motives?"

After the Restriction Bracelet fell from Su Yu's wrist, Su Yu left the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy and requested an indefinite leave of absence from Jing Hongchen.

Originally, given Jing Hongchen's temperament, he would never have approved it, but after this incident, Jing Hongchen had no choice but to swallow his pride.

Taking advantage of this leave, Su Yu returned to the Star Luo Empire, handed all the soul guidance blueprints to Su Xinyuan, and went alone into the laboratory to begin researching the Number One Experimental Subject, which had cost Mingde Hall thousands of years of effort.

Eight thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent drifted over and merged with the Douluo Continent, subsequently waging war against the three great empires of the original Douluo Continent.

Under the offensive of the Sun Moon Empire, the three great empires retreated steadily. In the end, Shrek Academy gathered graduated students to participate in the war of the three great empires. Ultimately, due to a lack of high-end combat power, the Sun Moon Empire was completely defeated, causing that unification war to be declared a failure.

Thinking about it now, it is likely that it was after that point that the Sun Moon Empire conceived the idea of building large-scale war machines, because in terms of Soul Masters, they truly could not compare to Shrek.

It is just a pity that this item has now been smuggled out of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy by Su Yu using a sleight of hand. Who would have guessed that the person none of them suspected would be the accomplice in this operation?

Under the gaze of Su Yu's Fate Eye, he discovered that within this Number One Experimental Subject, most of the soul guidance arrays were basically all Level 9, with a portion being Level 8 soul guidance arrays.

In front of this giant mecha over thirty meters tall, the number of soul guidance arrays was so great that Su Yu almost couldn't count them all. Moreover, the metals they used were metals under extremely strict control by the Sun Moon Empire.

Now, let alone researching it, Su Yu couldn't even dismantle this thing. It was too complex. Even though Su Yu knew its structure through the Fate Eye, he still felt at a loss as to where to start, not to mention that this thing had been fitted with a soul guidance array that would self-destruct upon dismantling.

Before Su Yu had the ability to crack this self-destructing soul guidance array, it was basically impossible to understand this mecha in a short period of time.

After persisting for a full week, Su Yu gave up. The item remained in his hands, and after bidding farewell to Su Xinyuan, Su Yu arrived at the next location.

That was the Wanjing Sect, which he had never personally managed. The current person in charge of the Wanjing Sect was still a Soul Emperor appointed by the Su Family.

With the support of the Su Family, a small portion of the Wanjing Sect had been granted permission to be taught some incomplete versions of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

The Wanjing Sect originally had three branches, but later, after Tang Ya arrived in Heaven Dou City, Su Yu merged one of them into the branch in the Dou Ling Empire. The original branch located in the Star Luo Empire remained at its original site.

Arriving at the location of the Wanjing Sect, Su Yu walked in front of Old Chen and went straight into the main hall of the sect. I have to say, it felt great; the buildings were all built in such a flashy way.

The branch leader here, upon seeing Su Yu arrive, hurriedly knelt to welcome him: "Su Chenghua, greets the Sect Master."

"Gather all the disciples; I have something to announce." Su Yu did not want to waste time. What he needed to do now was to piece together the complete Wanjing Sect. If it wasn't perfected now, there would really be no time later.

Before long, over a hundred people gathered on the Martial Arts Arena, and their branch leader stood respectfully behind Su Yu.

"Who is that? Could it be the Young Sect Master?"

"It could also be a relative of the Sect Master; otherwise, why would the branch leader stand behind him?"

"Have you ever thought that he might be the Sect Master?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Sect Master is only..."

…………

"First, let me give a simple self-introduction. My name is Su Yu, the Sect Master of the Wanjing Sect."

As soon as the words fell, the Martial Arts Arena was in an uproar. This teenager of only a dozen years old was actually their Sect Master? It would be more believable if he were the Sect Master's son.

"What, does someone not believe it?" Looking at the incredulous expressions of the crowd, Su Yu asked.

"I don't believe it. How could the Sect Master be a little kid like you?"

"I don't believe it either..."

…………

A series of questioning voices arose. Su Chenghua was about to step forward to explain, but Su Yu smiled and said: "It's fine. It's a good opportunity to teach them a lesson, otherwise how am I supposed to be this Sect Master?"

"Since none of you believe it, let's prove it with strength. As long as you can defeat me, you can take the position of branch leader." Su Yu looked at the group and revealed a kind smile.

Looking at Su Yu's harmless appearance, Su Chenghua, who was standing to the side, could only mourn for them in his heart.

"Is what you said true? Will the branch leader really step down?" There is always a first bird in everything; the position of branch leader was an extremely tempting condition.

Su Chenghua was also sensible enough to step out and say: "Everything is subject to the Young Master's words."

Young Master? Could it be that the branch leader is a subordinate of this teenager named Su Yu?

Doubts were doubts, but they would not believe that this sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenager before them could have much strength. If he were truly powerful, he would likely be at Shrek Academy; how would he have time to wander around a newly established sect like this?

"Disciple Deng Bohou, Level 36 Assault System Battle Soul Elder, please offer your guidance." A youth of about twenty years old slowly arrived at the center of the Martial Arts Arena and spoke to Su Yu.

"Very well." Su Yu leaped up in one bound and landed slowly in the center of the Martial Arts Arena. Seeing this, the crowd gathered one after another at the edge of the arena, clearing enough space for the two of them.

"You now, ah..."

Before the words were even finished, Deng Bohou, who had just rushed toward Su Yu, had his neck grabbed by one of Su Yu's hands, was lifted straight up, and was then casually tossed aside.

"Next."

Su Yu shook his hand, turned to look at the crowd, and spoke with a smile.

"Disciple Gong Xiucheng, Level 41 Battle Soul Ancestor, please offer your guidance."

Another youth stepped forward. Their ages had long since exceeded twenty; otherwise, they would at least count as people with talent. Among the people here, there were not many with talent; out of more than a hundred people, those who could be considered to have decent talent were only two or three.

However, perhaps seeing that the treatment at the Wanjing Sect was good, among this group, besides the majority being Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors, there was actually a Soul King. This Soul King was only a deacon, but looking at his appearance, he was nine times out of ten also going to spar with Su Yu.

"Help..."

Another miserable cry rang out, and that disciple was again grabbed by the neck and thrown down by Su Yu, the movement not changing in the slightest.

"Next."

It was still that familiar line, still that same familiar movement.

In the eyes of the crowd, Su Yu was like a god of war, throwing the challengers off the Martial Arts Arena one after another.

In a mere quarter of an hour, more than half of the disciples standing on the arena had disappeared, and those remaining basically had no thoughts of challenging him.

"It seems you are all going to miss out on this position of Branch Master. Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge?"

Su Yu cast his gaze onto that deacon. Currently, besides Su Chenghua, the strongest in terms of strength was this Soul King. If he wanted to establish his authority, this deacon was the best target.

"May I ask Sect Master, I wonder if I might challenge you?" A middle-aged man in his thirties slowly walked out. The person before him had somewhat messy hair, and his stubble was trimmed unevenly; the whole person appeared somewhat slovenly, like a drunkard who had been drinking in a tavern.

However, in his eyes, Su Yu could sense a fleeting fanaticism—that was the fanaticism of the pursuit of power!

"Go ahead and strike; let me see if you have the ability to sit in the position of Branch Master."

Su Yu did not dawdle with him; he just wanted to know exactly how much of his strength this Soul King before him could force him to use.

"Deacon Ke Lie, Level 58 Control System Battle Soul King, please offer your guidance, Sect Master."

Ke Lie took a step forward, and a large tree slowly emerged behind him. As the Soul Rings on his body lit up one after another, countless vines also emerged from the ground.

A large number of vines wrapped around Su Yu layer by layer as if they had consciousness, swallowing Su Yu like a python.

Three yellow, two purple.

The five Soul Rings were not even up to the optimal ratio. Although Su Yu did not know the opponent's soul skill, Su Yu was too lazy to activate his copy ability, because with this level of strength, any student in Shrek who had just advanced to Soul King could contend with and even defeat him.

With this kind of strength, having this kind of Soul Ring ratio was normal.

Just as everyone thought that Su Yu, who had remained motionless for so long, would be defeated, a cold glint flashed, and the giant vines wrapping around Su Yu were instantly sliced open, while Su Yu had only extended a single index finger.

A single index finger had broken Ke Lie's Second Soul Skill!

"So that's how it is; is this the strength of the Young Master?"
