Chapter 146: Ji Juechen's Bewilderment

"Boss, block the Holy..."

Before the words were finished, the Second Holy Spirit had already slumped down softly. By the time the First Holy Spirit reacted, a head had already rolled under the table where the First Holy Spirit was sitting.

"Sorry, it's too late."

When the First Holy Spirit reacted, the Second Holy Spirit had already completely lost all signs of life.

Su Yu's figure slowly emerged; since he had already made his move, he could no longer maintain his state of invisibility.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing his brother's head severed by Su Yu's sword, the First Holy Spirit instantly released his martial soul. Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings rose from beneath his feet. Before his soul rings could even light up, a fist had already slammed into his chest.

A tremendous force was unleashed upon the First Holy Spirit. His body flew backward and slammed heavily against the wall, causing the entire building to tremble violently.

When the First Holy Spirit's body appeared again, a large depression had already formed on his chest. He lay helplessly on the ground, wailing in pain, spitting out large amounts of blood, and even their white robes were more than half-stained red.

Such terrifying power—is this really power that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth could possess?

"So, during that battle that day, he had never once been serious..."

Looking at the First Holy Spirit wailing in pain on the ground and the Second Holy Spirit, whose head was now separated from his body, Nana muttered to herself with lingering fear.

However, what she did not know was that if the opponent hadn't been careless and underestimated the enemy, Su Yu would absolutely never have been able to achieve such a shocking result.

This battle lasted only a few seconds from beginning to end, from the moment a cold glint flashed in Su Yu's hand and the Second Holy Spirit's head was severed, to the moment the First Holy Spirit was sent flying by Su Yu's punch before he could even release a soul skill.

"You, you all go to hell!"

The First Holy Spirit, struggling in pain on the ground, suddenly spoke. Then, all six soul rings on his body began to burn, and even his body ignited with a mass of white flames.

"Forgot to tell you, Undead Magic is ineffective against me. Watching from within the light, purifying the corruption and darkness of the mortal world, washing away the filth and sin!"

The originally white flames on the First Holy Spirit's body completely vanished into nothingness under Su Yu's incantation magic, and the vengeful spirits flying out from the small door, along with the imprisoned souls, were also bathed in Su Yu's Purification Light.

Looking up at Su Yu suspended in mid-air, at this moment he was like the incarnation of light in this world; all filth and sin would be washed away and extinguished under his radiance!

Countless vengeful spirits and imprisoned souls stopped in their tracks. In Su Yu's Purifying World Light, they slowly shed the evil power on their bodies, transforming from pitch-black evil into the most primitive, transparent white.

Countless vengeful spirits and souls were liberated at this moment. With Su Yu's help, they shed all shackles and restraints and slowly vanished from this mortal world.

The First Holy Spirit, already severely wounded, looked at this scene and laughed maniacally: "Saint Child! The Saint Emperor's power will guide you. Under the leadership of the Saint Emperor and you, this world will eventually be ruled by us! To be able to die at the hands of the Saint Child is my supreme honor, hahahaha..."

Amidst the maniacal laughter, the First Holy Spirit completely vanished within that layer of white flames.

Bathed in the light, every move Su Yu made carried a natural sense of holiness. Even when Nana's eyes gazed into Su Yu's, she felt guilt in her heart, as if she were repenting for her sins before the holy God of Light.

"Go see your families. When they are completely purified, they will also return to where they belong."

At this moment, everyone knelt before Su Yu like pilgrims meeting a holy spirit. They all took off their headgear, their eyes revealing deep awe and piety.

Putting away the Purifying World Light, Su Yu slowly walked out of the room, leaving the time and space to them. In fact, for people, the reason for living is nothing more than having expectations worth pursuing, and these expectations could be people, objects, or even spirit...

What noble clans pass down is bloodline and spirit, what sects pass down is faith, but what about Zhong Hua Jia...

Looking up at the blue sky, perhaps, having come to this different world for more than ten years, there is still a sense of belonging to Blue Star in my heart. Perhaps, that is my ultimate path.

When all the vengeful spirits slowly dissipated in the Purifying World Light, Nana and a group of Holy Servants all knelt before him.

"All of you, rise. Please accept my condolences."

Su Yu got up and left the place. No matter how the people behind him called out to him, Su Yu's thoughts had never once calmed down.

"That's right, perhaps it is time to properly find the best destination for my own path..."

Before leaving, Su Yu tossed a letter to Nana, then turned and returned to Mingde Hall.

…………

"Human, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xue Di's voice trembled slightly; her powerful strength stirred waves within the Spirit Sea.

"I can no longer continue to bear your power. Unless you are willing to cooperate with us again to use the Seal Technique, otherwise, your powerful strength will tear apart my Spirit Sea and blow me up completely. By then, won't your end be death as well? Because if you leave my Spirit Sea now, you will not stop weakening."

Su Yu sat quietly opposite Xue Di. At this moment, Xue Di had transformed into the appearance of a human girl. A head of long, snow-white hair spread out behind her, and her ethereal eyes, like sapphires, seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

Her slender, beautiful body was flawless. A pure white long dress had no embellishments, but upon closer inspection, one could feel the noble holiness emanating from her.

"How about a deal? I will help you successfully evolve and cultivate as a human, and you will guard me by my side until I become a Title Douluo."

The current Xue Di's power was extremely unstable. If it weren't for the fact that she had absorbed a hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus back then, completing the seal on her own origin, it would have been absolutely impossible for her to have such powerful strength after self-detonating.

"Human, what do you have to guarantee that what you say can be realized?"

Xue Di still harbored wariness toward Su Yu, but it hadn't reached the point of extreme rejection.

Su Yu said: "Within your body, there is still power that has not been unsealed. If I am not mistaken, you must have obtained a hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus, completing the seal on your own origin, which gave you the qualification to choose to recultivate as a human. However, you encountered our human Soul Master at a critical moment and were thus locked into the Sealing God Platform. Since I can understand your situation, I can help you. This deal has no downsides for either of us; after all, if an accident happens now, both you and I will die."

"If you lie to me, even if I die, I will kill you. So, human, you had better not attempt to deceive me!" Xue Di's eyes flickered slightly, refracting a deep blue light.

"I have my name; I am called Su Yu. Since you have agreed to our deal, then let's just hope for a pleasant cooperation. Leave the rest to me and my teacher. Do not resist; open your mind. Once a mishap occurs, both you and I will die under your terrifying power. I have no need to use my life to play such a joke with you!"

Su Yu's tone was very cold. He was gambling, gambling that Xue Di would agree to him for the sake of Ice Empress, and for the sake of successfully evolving and recultivating as a human.

"Fine. Then I will trouble you..."

Electrolux and Su Yu jointly mobilized Su Yu's Spirit Sea. The massive Spirit Power, under the control of Su Yu and Yi Lao, continuously transformed into countless brilliant golden light spots that merged into Xue Di's body.

A long, slender golden staff slowly took shape. Under Yi Lao's control, Su Yu could feel the Spirit Power in his Spirit Sea rapidly weakening. However, as Su Yu's Spirit Sea was exhausted, another stream of Spirit Power continuously gathered toward where Yi Lao was.

And this stream of Spirit Power originated from Luo Yu.

Raising an army for a thousand days to use it for a single moment—now it all depended on Luo Yu.

"Do not be distracted. Stabilize your origin power. Follow my guidance and add another layer of seal yourself; I am about to be unable to hold on..."

Little did they know, Su Yu's physical body outside was already bleeding from his seven orifices, his whole body puffed up like a balloon filled with air by the massive power. If it weren't for the fact that Su Yu's body had been baptized by Life Gold and he had strengthened himself several times by absorbing soul rings through his Fragment Martial Soul, he would have been blown to pieces instantly.

When Luo Yu's Spirit Power was also exhausted, Xue Di no longer hid anything and contributed her own power as well. With Xue Di's power added, accompanied by the sound of low incantations, mysterious runes flashing with strange light continuously merged into Xue Di's forehead.

As the final rune fell, Su Yu and Yi Lao finished the incantation together. This magic consumed a massive amount of power and also perfected Xue Di's seal. For a long time to come, Xue Di would need to re-nurture her own power.

However, when everything was over, Yi Lao smiled and transmitted his voice to Su Yu: "Just in case, I secretly added a Master-Servant Contract. After all, you are my disciple; you can't be at a disadvantage, and I have to leave myself a backup plan."

Su Yu: "…………"

Ginger is indeed spicier when it's old. I really am still young; I was careless. But, well done...

When the final seal was placed, Xue Di's expression also softened significantly; in her heart, she seemed to have developed a strange feeling toward the youth before her.

…………

Several days later, Su Yu received a letter from Su Xinyuan, which stated that Nana and her party had already been escorted to the Wanjing Sect.

After Mingde Hall was rebuilt, in the following half a year, in order to put on a show so that Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan would accept his challenge, Su Yu and his clone, Luo Yu, even staged a draw.

In any case, Su Yu knew exactly how much he had held back in that battle.

However, Ji Juechen was no fool; as early as two years ago, Ji Juechen had already crossed paths with Su Yu, so Su Yu's fighting style was naturally exposed without any surprises.

When Ji Juechen was beaten black and blue by Su Yu and lay on the ground looking up at the sky, there was no dejection in his heart, only a burning fighting spirit.

Sun and Moon Street.

"We have guests." A shop assistant stepped forward to greet Su Yu and Ji Juechen, then ran into the shop to alert the others.

"Are you wondering why I am different from Luo Yu, yet our fighting methods and techniques are exactly the same?" Su Yu sat at the table, eating the delicacies in large mouthfuls.

"That's right. It seems you know me quite well, but before this, we didn't seem to have any connection." Ji Juechen took the food handed over by the assistant, picked up his chopsticks, and also began to eat in large mouthfuls without any regard for his image.

No one knew who these two guys were, but just by looking at the attire of Su Yu and Ji Juechen, one could tell that their identities were definitely not simple.

"There are many powerful people in this academy, but only you are different. Several years ago, I came to the Sun and Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy and became a student there." Su Yu raised his head, looking at this emotionless fighting machine before him.

Ji Juechen habitually touched the Heavenly Meteor Iron Sword at his side. "You want to say that Luo Yu is you?"

"Not bad, you have some brains. However, although you guessed correctly, it is not entirely accurate." Su Yu took a blueprint out of his Soul Guidance Device and placed it in front of Ji Juechen.

Ji Juechen looked at this Soul Guidance blueprint, the light in his eyes flickering uncertainly. He remained silent for a long time before picking up the blueprint, which had already been splattered with soup from the table.

This Soul Guidance blueprint was exactly the Soul Guidance Device that Luo Yu had designed for Ji Juechen before leaving the academy. Since that time, the next time Ji Juechen saw Luo Yu was half a year later.

"It seems you might really be Luo Yu, but how do you explain who the current Luo Yu is? It's impossible for two Su Yus to appear at the same time, right?" Ji Juechen put down the blueprint in his hand and looked Su Yu straight in the eyes again.

Su Yu's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Although it sounds incredible, I can tell you that your guess is correct. If you don't believe me, I can even have Luo Yu repeat our conversation today to you right now, or I can even recount all of Luo Yu's life experiences from that year and a half."

"I only believe what my own eyes see. Unless you truly have that ability, if you can really do it, I will believe what you say is true."

Ji Juechen let out a dry laugh. In his view, all of this was simply impossible. How could a second person appear in the same time and space, and both have life and independent consciousness?

"Rest assured, there are still many things in this world you don't know about. After all, some things will be miracles you have never encountered in your entire life."

Putting down his chopsticks, Su Yu waved over the shop assistant and paid the bill.

"This meal is on me. Remember to pay me back next time."
