Chapter 143: Heading into Battle against Nana

"Whether you want to or not, that's not up to you. Speak quickly, looking so pretty, have you been out there wreaking havoc on our academy classmates?"

Pinching Wang Dong's beautiful face, Su showed absolutely no restraint; he could clearly feel the resistance in Wang Dong's hands weakening bit by bit.

"No, no, I didn't..."

In a panic, Wang Dong wanted to get up and push Su Yu away, but now, for some reason, she felt a strange sense of anticipation.

Looking at Wang Dong's somewhat dazed eyes, and the fingers that had inadvertently brushed across Su Yu's face, Su Yu also subconsciously had a premonition that things were starting to spiral slightly out of control.

Inside this dormitory, both of them felt a faint heat, and even their breathing carried a hint of scorching intensity...

Both of them realized that they had perhaps gone a bit too far, and subsequently, they tacitly avoided mentioning the matter, but the look in Wang Dong's eyes as she gazed at Su Yu had clearly changed.

"Su Yu, when did you... discover it?" Wang Dong's voice trembled slightly, but she still hadn't reverted to her original voice.

Su Yu sighed leisurely and spoke slowly: "Not long ago. I discovered it the last time we performed our Martial Soul Fusion Skill. From that moment on, I noticed that your sister Meng Hongchen looked at you with a strange expression..."

Wang Dong gripped Su Yu's hand with a little force, then bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she began to wrestle with Su.

"Su Yu, you bastard, I'll fight you to the death..."

…………

"Why did you run back, kid? Didn't I tell you to stay at Mingde Hall and study Soul Guidance Devices properly?" Xuan Lao looked at the Su Yu before him with some indignation.

Su Yu spread his hands helplessly and said: "You can't blame me for this entirely. Mingde Hall was turned upside down by people from the Body Sect and is still under reconstruction, so Hall Master Jing Hongchen gave me time off."

"So you're saying you knew about the Body Sect raiding Mingde Hall?" Xuan Lao's focus was far from why Su Yu had returned; he was concerned about how Mingde Hall had suffered.

Su Yu nodded and said: "I was still studying at Mingde Hall at the time. Later, Du Busi led people in by digging from underground. Then, it seemed like the Body Sect stole something from Mingde Hall, both sides had a huge battle, and then the Body Sect ran off."

"Is that all?" Xuan Lao asked curiously, eyes wide.

"What else did you think there was, old man? If I hadn't run fast, I reckon I would have been beaten into a corpse by the Body Sect by now." Even now, Su Yu still remembered that unlucky Soul Douluo who had been frozen into an ice sculpture.

"As long as you're fine, as long as you're fine. Since there's nothing wrong, don't come bothering me. I have things to deal with now, go, go, go..."

Saying this, Xuan Lao prepared to chase Su Yu away from Sea God Island.

"Wait, I haven't finished what I had to say." Su Yu spoke up quickly; there were some things that needed to be said now, as he might not necessarily have the time to return in the future.

Xuan Lao asked with some confusion: "Is there something else you haven't reported, kid?"

"Although I don't know if this counts as news, you should listen to it anyway. Through my studies at Mingde Hall, I discovered that the gap between Shrek's Soul Guidance Devices and Mingde Hall's is truly too large. Whether it's the teaching of Soul Guidance or the level of development, it cannot compare to Mingde Hall. Therefore, I still suggest that the academy orient its future development toward the combination of Soul Masters and Soul Guidance, and that every student should study it."

I, Su, have already done my utmost; whether or not you listen to the rest is up to you.

"Mu Lao has already given instructions on this. However, you've stayed in the Sun Moon Empire for so long, did you really have no gains at all?" Xuan Lao looked at Su Yu and asked a question that was etched into Shrek's DNA.

"It's alright, I suppose I have a little. Why, do you want to see, old man?"

Su Yu knew that anyone from Shrek had inherited Flender's fine traditions.

"Although you don't know the academy's arrangements, the academy also hopes that through this exchange and study, Shrek's Soul Guidance Department can obtain Mingde Hall's soul guidance design blueprints, thereby allowing our Soul Guidance Department to develop rapidly. Originally, this heavy responsibility was given to you, but who knew you would be recalled by your family? Later, it was handed to He Caitou."

Xuan Lao felt some regret. In his view, Su Yu was more suitable than He Caitou in terms of temperament and other abilities, but because of Su Yu's family, Su Yu had to leave, so they had to choose He Caitou as the executor of the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan.

Yet, it was precisely because Su knew about this plan that he had left; otherwise, he would have truly been burdened with a heavy responsibility that was hard to refuse.

"Consider it a small token of my heart for the academy. However, Xuan Lao, you must promise me that after I leave, you will take good care of Wang Dong for me, otherwise, there will be nothing at all."

Asking for things is fine, but freeloading is not.

"Easy, easy. If you have any good things, just take them out; don't waste my time." Xuan Lao knew that with Su Yu's talent, it was impossible for him to have no gains. In any case, it was just giving Wang Dong some extra care; it wasn't a difficult task.

But does this kid really not know? Why do I feel like this little guy is even more of a blockhead in this regard than that brat Huo Yuhao?

Xuan Lao's eyes gradually became wise, and the way he looked at Su was exceptionally strange.

Could it be, is this kid a...

Su didn't go overboard by pulling out a huge pile; he only took out twenty-some soul guidance design blueprints. Although these were only level five or six, for Shrek Academy, they were things more important than soul bones.

Su Yu didn't dare to take out anything too high-level, otherwise, let alone Xuan Lao, the whole bunch of people in the Soul Guidance Department would probably start suspecting Su Yu.

Taking the soul guidance design blueprints, Xuan Lao, although not knowledgeable about Soul Guidance Devices, knew that handing these things to Xian Lin'er and the others would be correct.

After obtaining Xuan Lao's promise, Su Yu returned to his class and had Xuan Lao specially approve an irregular vacation for Wang Dong.

As for Wang Dong, if nothing unexpected happened, she should be traveling within the Star Luo Empire with Su right now. Within the Star Luo Empire, Su could be considered to have smooth sailing; after all, he wouldn't dare say anything else, but within the Star Luo Empire, Su Family chambers of commerce and collateral branches could be seen everywhere.

To put it nicely, this is called a statutory vacation; to put it bluntly, this is called abusing power for personal gain to pick up girls...

…………

People have joys and sorrows, partings and reunions; the moon has its brightness and dimness. It was about time to part ways. After everyone from the Wanjing Sect in the Dou Ling Empire had completed their migration, it was about time for Su to send Wang Dong back.

As everyone gathered in Star Luo City, the three people in the Sun Moon Empire chamber of commerce were also all recalled.

Now, the complete Wanjing Sect was officially announced to the world.

In Star Luo City, another new force was born in silence; this force was completely controlled by Su Yu.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

On a private mountain peak belonging to the Su Family, buildings stood one after another, and all the members of the Wanjing Sect were gathered here.

The current Wanjing Sect basically had no Su Family members, except for the batch of Soul Engineers from the Su Family; the rest were basically personnel recruited after the sect was established.

Su Yu counted the heads; there were already over two hundred people.

The development of the current Wanjing Sect no longer required him to worry; he could just leave it to Su Xinyuan. In any case, with Su Xinyuan's ability, managing a sect was completely effortless; after all, don't forget, he was the Family Head of the Su Family.

Over three thousand soul guidance design blueprints—these were obtained by Su Yu with all his heart and soul. These things would become the foundation of the Wanjing Sect. In the future, as long as the Wanjing Sect's Soul Guidance Devices developed, there would definitely be people joining of their own accord.

In this era, Soul Guidance Devices were still the dominant force.

Now, three crucial figures were still missing. As long as these three figures were in place, the Wanjing Sect would have the strength to grow into a top-tier sect.

Xuan Ziwen, Jing Ziyan, Ji Juechen...

Alright then, the next target is you three!

Returning to the Sun Moon Empire, it was already half a month later. Regarding Su Yu's return, Jing Hongchen didn't care in the slightest. Now, what he needed to care about was the reconstruction of Mingde Hall; he basically threw all other trivial matters to Lin Jiayi to handle.

After returning to the academy, the reconstruction of Mingde Hall was extremely rapid. Although it had been severely damaged, there were no major problems with the main structure. Now, what Mingde Hall needed to do was to make up for its previous flaws and prevent another raid by the Body Sect.

However, Su Yu still had other thoughts in his mind. Since there was a Number One Experimental Subject, were there also a Number Two Experimental Subject and a Number Three Experimental Subject?

Logically speaking, this possibility is not non-existent, because in the development of later generations, Battle Armor and Mecha still emerged within the Douluo Federation, and to a large extent, they were still developed by the Sun Moon Empire.

It is thus not difficult to speculate that there are other experimental subjects in Mingde Hall, it is just that Number One is the most important, and also where the crystallization of the most top-tier Soul Guidance Technology lies.

But it doesn't matter; at worst, I will find a way to steal something from Mingde Hall in the future.

"I announce that today's Soul Guidance Exchange Tournament officially begins!"

The familiar voice on the plaza interrupted Su Yu's thoughts once again; without realizing it, he had arrived near the plaza of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy again.

It seems that the three Soul Guidance Exchange Tournaments held every day have become a tradition; ever since the battle between He Caitou and Luo Yu, the students of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy seem to have become increasingly keen on the Soul Guidance Exchange Tournament.

"Shrek Academy student, Level 5 Soul Engineer, Jiang Rui."

"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Level 5 Soul Engineer, Keke."

Hmm? Hungry True Monarch Keke?

Su Yu was certainly no stranger to this name; after all, his relationship with Keke could be considered quite good.

Su had also thought about poaching Keke, but not now; after all, judging by Keke's age, Keke could indeed be considered the type of Soul Engineer with great aptitude.

This battle did not have much suspense; Keke won.

"If I remember correctly, Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen are both martial arts fanatics; as long as I defeat them, it is ten to nine that I can poach them." Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately had a plan; it seems he must dampen the Sharp spirit of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy recently, otherwise he won't be able to catch the main targets.

"I'll take the next match."

Su Yu stopped the Shrek Academy student who was about to go on stage and walked onto the plaza.

Witnessing Su Yu's departing back, a student from the Inner Court Soul Guidance Department on the side could not help but sigh: "This junior is too reckless."

"But, senior, he..." The student on the side who knew Su Yu was just about to speak when he was interrupted by this senior.

"There are no 'buts' about it; with his strength as a Level 4 Soul Engineer, it is ten to nine that he will lose again this time."

The student who knew Su Yu finally found an opportunity to speak, so he replied: "But senior, he is Captain Cai Tou's junior brother, Su Yu."

"Su Yu? Which Su Yu? Hmm! Su Yu! Are you talking about the Su Yu who single-handedly turned the tide of the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament?"

By the time he came back to his senses, Su Yu had already arrived on the plaza.

"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Level 5 Soul Engineer, Nana."

"Shrek Academy, Level 5 Soul Engineer, Su Yu."

"I announce, the match begins." As the words of the student host fell, the curtain was drawn on this match.

If it weren't for the fact that Mingde Hall was still being rebuilt, Nana would not have taken the initiative to participate in this Soul Guidance Exchange Tournament; the last time she competed was under the instruction of Lin Jiayi.

But this time, she was seeking an epiphany in battle; purely in terms of strength, there was basically no Level 5 Soul Engineer in Shrek who was a match for Nana, but she had encountered Su Yu.

Two yellow, two purple, one black—five Soul Rings floated up from Nana's feet. In a brief instant, Nana's figure became somewhat illusory, and then transformed into three identical figures.

Su Yu knew that these clones were all just phantom shadows created by speed, not like himself, who could replicate a clone with a physical body.

"Second Soul Skill, Phantom Shadow."

A burst of black mist appeared, and then a figure exactly the same as Su Yu slowly emerged from the black mist.

"Two people?"

Even Nana was somewhat surprised; she could clearly feel that the clone from Shrek Academy before her was not a phantom like hers, but a real clone.

The three illusory figures were never able to get close to that figure standing in the distance. The figure blocking Nana's path seemed to attack very slowly each time, and the number of times he struck was also very few, yet he could always crush all of her attacks with greater force.

Although she had a soul skill to share the damage she sustained, the attacks launched by that figure made her feel somewhat difficult to parry.

She even had the illusion that the opponent did not seem to have used his full strength at all, as if he were a cat catching a mouse, waiting for the prey to be exhausted before devouring it.

A cold glint flashed, and the Soul Guidance Short Blade in Nana's hand was instantly snapped; the immense force also sent Nana staggering back repeatedly.

"Who is that person? How does he have such powerful strength without using a Soul Guidance Device?"
