Chapter 153: The All-Rounder Battle Soul King Su Yu

~14 min read 2,744 words

"There's nothing to be nervous about, didn't Xiao Xiao leave her light on for you?" Su Yu also comforted him.

"Mm." He Cai Tou nodded vigorously. Clearly, Xiao Xiao leaving her light on had greatly boosted his confidence.

The Love at First Sight round continued, and the female students were quite ruthless. Aside from Huo Yu Hao, who gained sixteen lights thanks to the advantage of his dual-cultivation studies in the Body Sect, the following few people, while not as miserable as He Cai Tou, did not have more than one-third of the lights remaining.

Soon, it was Su Yu's turn. Su Yu actually didn't care about the final outcome; as long as Wang Dong'er left her light on for him, that was enough. It was impossible for Wang Dong not to leave his light on for him, right?

To be honest, He Cai Tou was nervous because it was his first time participating in the Sea God Fate Blind Date Assembly, but wasn't Su Yu just as nervous?

It was just that, right now, Su Yu's confidence far outweighed his nervousness.

"Su Yu, Love at First Sight, begin."

The series of light-extinguishing he had imagined did not occur. Across the entire Sea God Lake, only one light went out, and that was Zhu Lu's light.

"This, this, you guys are trying to kill me. How am I supposed to explain this to Dong'er now..."

Watching this scene, Su Yu was dumbfounded, with only one thought in his mind: Holy crap, you guys are setting me up!

Looking at the lights shining across the entire field, He Cai Tou was also dumbfounded. This...

He had managed to pass, but the next person, Xu Sanshi, was not so lucky.

"Xu Sanshi, Love at First Sight, begin." As the Senior Sister's voice fell, it announced that this round for Xu Sanshi had officially begun.

Extinguish, extinguish, extinguish...

Whether it was because the girls all knew his only target was Jiang Nannan, or because of his shameless behavior in the first round, the speed at which the lights went out was even a few notches faster than it had been for He Cai Tou.

Very quickly, only two beams of light remained. One was Xiao Xiao, and the other was Jiang Nannan.

Just as Xu Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief and a smile began to appear on his face.

"Swish," Jiang Nannan resolutely pressed the button in her hand, and the pale golden light instantly went out. Only Xiao Xiao's single beam of light remained lit.

The smile on Xu Sanshi's face instantly stiffened, his complexion turned deathly pale, and his body even swayed.

"Nannan, you have such a cruel heart!" Xu Sanshi let out a miserable cry. But in the end, he still managed to steady himself.

In the end, only Xiao Xiao's light remained on the field. The nervous and bewildered He Cai Tou, although he knew Xiao Xiao was helping one of their own out of loyalty, still subconsciously looked at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao also shyly looked away. Afterward, although He Cai Tou was still muttering to himself, Su Yu knew that this guy wouldn't run into any accidents, so there was no need to worry about the aftermath.

Dai Huabin's appearance was not as outrageous as in the original work, because the original Dai Huabin had a series of brainless operations that led to a poor reputation in everyone's eyes. But now it was different; Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and several female students from the Inner Court had all left their lights on for him. After all, as the heir of the White Tiger Duke, it was naturally impossible for him to be too bad.

The most miserable one was Xie Huanyue. As soon as this guy came on stage, a large area went pitch black. Before leaving, he was still wailing: "You guys are bullying people! Does a fat man have no human rights?..."

The second round ended there. The positions of the twenty-two male students changed again. Because of the reduction in numbers, they were now lined up in a row, facing the eighteen girls opposite them from a distance.

Following the end of the second round, Zhang Lexuan immediately followed up to announce the rules for the third round.

"After the first two rounds, I believe you all have a simple understanding of each other. Next, we will enter the third round: Love at Second Sight. This time, the girls must be careful; you cannot choose as casually as you did in the second round.

Once you make a choice, you must be responsible for your choice. Each male student has one minute for a self-introduction. After the self-introduction, you must come to me and report the number of the Sea God Fairy you admire. After all the male students have finished their self-introductions.

The girls will begin to make their choices. This choice represents your final decision. Each girl can only choose once, and you cannot go back on it. After the selection, we will begin the fourth round."

"Male students, please note: when you are showcasing yourselves, you may simultaneously display the abilities you consider powerful, or introduce your own cultivation level, etc. As long as you feel your introduction can attract the girl you admire, that is fine. This time, we will shuffle the order and use a draw to decide who goes first and who goes last, to ensure fairness."

Bei Bei stepped on a lotus leaf, slowly drifting toward the male students, holding a handful of numbered slips, drawing them from left to right.

The female students opposite were not idle either; everyone began to wear a numbered tag on their chests, representing their numbers. They also rearranged their positions.

When drawing lots, Su Yu had originally intended to use a little trick, but thought better of it. If he were caught by those old guys, it would be over. Although the probability of being caught was not high, it did not mean the probability was zero.

The drawing ended quickly. Su Yu's luck was okay; he drew the tenth spot, appearing in the middle. Looking at the slip in his hand, Su Yu was quite relieved; at least it wasn't in the twenties.

Number ten could only be said to be neither lucky nor unlucky; it was considered standard.

In this third round, appearing first or last was clearly not ideal. Those who appeared first lacked experience, while those who appeared last easily caused aesthetic fatigue for the girls.

Of course, these were just common sayings. If you had the looks of the male version of Wang Dong'er, you could still dominate the field even if you appeared last. If you had the looks of Xie Huanyue, even if you appeared in the middle, you would nine times out of ten end up leaving with regrets.

To put it bluntly, you have to be strong yourself to forge iron.

If you cannot catch the eye of the "looks association," then you must have absolute, outstanding qualities of your own.

Is it real? This is very real.

Is it reasonable? This is very reasonable.

…………

The one who drew the first spot was the six-ring Agility Attack System Battle Soul Emperor who had been standing next to Huo Yu Hao in the first round, Chu Qingtian.

Zhang Lexuan said: "Alright, the third round, Love at Second Sight, begins. Boys, you must perform well. This is the best opportunity for you to strive for the attention of the Sea God Fairies; do not miss it."

This guy was quite decisive. After a series of operations, he finally wrote down the number of the girl he admired.

However, Su Yu knew that if this guy couldn't escape the palm of Wu Ming's hand, he would probably have to "cut off his wrist to survive." It was just a pity that he was still a coward and ultimately gave in to Wu Ming.

In fact, this largely depended on the bet Wu Ming had made with everyone: whoever could take off her bamboo hat, she would choose that person at the Sea God Fate Assembly. In reality, she largely wanted to find an Inner Court student to marry. If she really wanted to marry, once she stepped out of Shrek, she would absolutely be a hot commodity for every major family, and a future matriarch at that!

Don't talk about not being able to get married; it's just that her standards were too high. This is reality.

The one who drew the second slip was Dai Huabin. Dai Huabin's introduction was very simple: "Hello everyone, my name is Dai Huabin. I am seventeen years old this year, a level 57 Assault System Battle Soul King. Martial soul: Evil-Eyed White Tiger. That is all, thank you."

Afterward, he reported Zhu Lu's number and turned to leave. Clearly, his goal seemed to be about the same as Su Yu's, except Su Yu came for Wang Dong, and Dai Huabin came for Zhu Lu alone.

However, don't look at how simple Dai Huabin's introduction was just now; the reaction from the female students opposite was not small.

Dai Huabin, Xie Huanyue, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng had only just entered the academy, so the old students of the Inner Court were not very familiar with them.

A few simple statistics had already made him the focus of all the girls' attention.

Seventeen years old, level 57, Evil-Eyed White Tiger.

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger martial soul had always only been possessed by the White Tiger Duke's lineage in the Star Luo Empire. That is to say, with Dai Huabin's talent, it was entirely possible for him to inherit the title of White Tiger Duke!

Those who could be admitted to the Shrek Inner Court were all geniuses among geniuses. Everyone understood what these statistics meant, and what the information contained within them signified. The person with this brief introduction before them was a bona fide "golden turtle son-in-law"!

What's more, with Dai Huabin's current cultivation, it was absolutely possible for him to break through level 60 before the age of twenty.

And genius Soul Masters who could pass level 60 before the age of twenty could almost all eventually become Title Douluo-level powerhouses, and it was even possible for them to become Super Douluo.

This was also why the faster one's soul power progressed in the early stages, the more easily they were pinned with high hopes by others, and in practice, this was indeed the case.

Because, for Soul Masters, the age benchmark before becoming a Title Douluo was one hundred years. In Dou I, the description of the lifespan of a Limit Douluo was that it was said they could survive for a thousand years, but by Dou II, the lifespan of a Limit Douluo was at most a few hundred years. The reason Mu Lao left early was because he had sustained irreparable injuries in his early years; otherwise, Su Yu could absolutely have used his powerful Life Force to make Mu Lao regain his vitality.

It is just a pity that after Su Yu obtained the Life Gold, Mu Lao's body grew worse by the day. At that time, Mu Lao's body was like a bottomless bottle; no matter how much water you added, it would all leak out from the missing bottom...

As for the female students of the Inner Court looking for partners, strength is absolutely the most important priority they must consider. Because, from the perspective of their generally held mentality as heaven-favored daughters, their self-esteem absolutely does not allow them to compromise downwards, unless they truly encounter love and have a foundation of feelings.

In this regard, Wang Yan and Han Ruoruo are a very good example; that sour stench of love is something one can imagine even through a screen.

It was soon Su Yu's turn; Huo Yu Hao drew the number twelve lot, and He Cai Tou drew the number thirteen lot. In other words, following Su Yu, it would be the two brothers.

"Su Yu, it's your turn, prepare well." Just as Su Yu's thoughts were drifting, the voice of the Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan pulled him back to reality.

"Mm. I know."

Su Yu took a deep breath; whether it was on Blue Star or on the Douluo Continent, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Afterwards, he slowly walked out of the water lily and stood upon the surface of the water. Su Yu did not deliberately control anything, but it was as if he were stepping on a sailing ship, which carried him before the crowd.

"My name is Su Yu, seventeen years old this year, soul power at level 50, yet to attach a Fifth Soul Ring, All-Round Spirit Soul King, Level 6 Soul Master."

As Su Yu said this, both the female students opposite him and the male students behind him revealed looks of surprise and astonishment. The same question rose in everyone's hearts: is there really such a thing as an All-Round Spirit Soul King?

However, among these people, there was only one who believed it without doubt, and that was Wang Dong. He had personally witnessed Su Yu actually displaying his soul skill back in the dormitory!

Su Yu being able to replicate the opponent's soul skill meant that, in a certain sense, he was all-round!

Before others could speak, the Golden Crow Saintess, who had the most impatient temperament, could no longer hold back. She was seen hurriedly raising her hand and saying, "Wait, wait. Senior Sister, I don't quite understand, can I ask him a question?"

Zhang Lexuan said, "One. Not to be repeated."

"Okay." Wu Ming agreed readily, and then she looked toward Huo Yu Hao with a gaze of intense suspicion.

Under her gaze, Wu Ming was heard asking, "According to my understanding of you, yours does not count as Twin Martial Souls, and the abilities you have displayed do not prove that you are an All-Round Spirit Soul King. Are you sure you aren't saying this just to attract the attention of us girls? Seventeen years old, level 50 All-Round Spirit Soul King, and also a Level 6 Soul Master—how can you prove that what you said is true?"

Su Yu smiled indifferently. Since he dared to call himself an All-Round Spirit Soul King, he naturally had the capital to say these words. Regarding this, Su Yu had nothing to panic about. Since you want evidence, then I will give you the evidence and let you see just how many levels higher Wang Dong'er's eye for people is compared to yours!

Su Yu was heard saying, "Senior Sister Wu Ming, hello. I do indeed have two martial souls, and my martial souls have granted me the capital to possess the status of an All-Round Spirit Soul King. At the same time, I am a dual cultivator, a Dual Core Disciple of both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department. The soul guidance blueprints currently being researched in the academy were also learned in the Sun Moon Empire, and were subsequently donated to the academy free of charge. As for whether I have the strength of an All-Round Spirit Soul King, I believe there is nothing more convincing than what you are about to see."

Wu Ming was stunned and asked in surprise, "Is everything you said true?"

Before Su Yu could answer, Xuan Lao, who was on the Ferry Boat in the Sea God Lake, spoke up: "What Su Yu said is correct. The soul guidance blueprints currently being researched in the academy were all learned by Su Yu in the Sun Moon Empire and brought back to be donated to the academy free of charge. This old man can tell you with certainty that he truly has Twin Martial Souls."

Xuan Lao, who was to the side, also came to join in the fun. He really wanted to know what abilities Su Yu had to demonstrate his so-called All-Round Spirit Soul King status. Using praise to set up this troublemaker Su Yu and dampen the kid's arrogance was, for Xuan Lao, simply one of life's great pleasures.

Hehe, let's see how you kid talk your way out of this one. An All-Round Spirit Soul King, at that—to think you actually had the face to make such a boast!
