Chapter 160: The Hunter's Game (Part 1)

Seeing that the strength of both sides was beginning to become seriously imbalanced, it was at this moment that Zhang Lexuan stood out.

"Given the serious imbalance in strength between the two sides, Su Yu, you may now request to balance the strength of both sides according to the rules," Zhang Lexuan said.

However, before Su Yu could speak, Wang Dong, who was to the side, said coldly: "Senior Sister, today is an important day for me. I have waited a long time for this day, so no one is allowed to stop me today. You can all come together; Su Yu and I are enough!"

"What about you, Su Yu? Is your decision the same as Wang Dong'er's?" For the sake of caution, Bei Bei still asked subconsciously.

"I listen to Dong'er." Su Yu looked at Wang Dong'er with doting eyes, remaining calm and confident from beginning to end.

"Since you have decided to snatch the bride, then be prepared."

Su Yu was indeed very confident; two against seven was indeed a lot of pressure, but was this a time to lie flat and give up?

In fact, based on pure combat power, as early as three years ago, when Su Yu became a Four-Ring Soul Elder, he was already able to defeat Ji Juechen. When he was focused on studying Soul Guidance Devices, Ji Juechen also successfully stepped into the realm of a Seven-ring Soul Saint, but he was still crushed by Su Yu's strength as a Level 6 Soul Master and Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

The seven people in front of him included a Support System Ning Tian, whose combat power was basically zero, and an Inner Court student from the Soul Guidance Department, a Level 6 Soul Master. However, in Su Yu's view, his Level 6 Soul Master strength was probably only Level 5; after all, Shrek's Soul Guidance Department and the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Department were truly worlds apart.

It was completely the difference between a groundhog and a giant elephant...

As for the other five, four were Soul Kings and one was a Soul Saint. That Soul Saint was the senior who had been tricked by Xu Sanshi back then.

"Dong'er, are you ready?" Looking at the slightly nervous Wang Dong'er, Su Yu asked slowly.

Wang Dong'er did not answer Su Yu's words, but slowly revealed her martial soul. A dazzling light slowly unfolded behind her, and the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, which carried the most beautiful martial soul in the world, slowly emerged behind her.

Standing in front of everyone, Su Yu also released his own martial soul.

Looking at the two who were already prepared, the seven people snatching the bride were not idle either. With the help of Soul Guidance Devices, Ning Tian stood steadily on the surface of the water. Ning Tian chanted softly: "Glazed Pagoda, tower of glaze; the Glazed Pagoda has seven levels. The first is power, the second is speed, the third is soul, the fourth is defense, and the fifth is attack."

As the five rays of light fell, the aura of those six people also soared wildly. "Don't let the two of them get together; they have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

That student from the Soul Guidance Department directly set up a Soul Guidance cannon to aim at Su Yu and Wang Dong, while the others also unleashed their martial souls and soul skills one after another.

Just as they were speaking, the six soul rings on her body had already risen, and the intense chill caused the temperature in the air to plummet instantly.

A slender long spear instantly took shape in the hands of that Soul Saint senior. As he thrust the long spear into the water, with his body as the center, a large amount of undercurrents continuously emanated from under his feet. In less than a second, a heaven-shaking tsunami had already begun to appear in Sea God Lake.

Besides the tsunami, the other students also unleashed their soul skills one after another. One student left the deepest impression on Su Yu, because his martial soul was actually a Mirror!

"We must restrict Su Yu's speed, otherwise we won't be able to control him at all!"

Just then, Ning Tian reminded them.

"So that's how it is? I understand." After hearing Ning Tian's reminder, one of the students realized that Su Yu had shown his All-Round System strength back then. That is to say, they not only had to suppress him in strength but also in speed. Otherwise, once Su Yu started to perform, with their speed, no one would be able to keep up with Su Yu except for that Soul Saint senior, Lu Yu.

Even with Ning Tian's blessing, they couldn't keep up!

In just a few seconds, these seven people showed the powerful combat literacy of the Inner Court, but don't forget, neither Su Yu nor Wang Dong'er were ordinary people.

One yellow, two purple, and three black—six soul rings that exceeded everyone's common sense slowly emerged. At the same time, on the other side, two yellow, one purple, and one black—four even more bizarre soul rings rose.

What kind of combination was this? Daring to boast about challenging seven people without even obtaining a Fifth Soul Ring?

This doubt not only emerged in the minds of the seven of them but also in the minds of everyone else participating in the Sea God's Fate.

Even Bei Bei, who was acting as the host, was a little nervous. "Senior Sister, Su Yu hasn't even obtained his Fifth Soul Ring. Do you think they really have a chance of winning?"

"It's hard to say, but since the two of them have made their decision, they naturally have their own confidence. I believe Su Yu is not such a reckless person." Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, clearly not understanding the situation unfolding before her.

According to common sense, Su Yu could have completely requested that the combat power of both sides be equal, and in that case, he would not have encountered such a predicament.

However, Su Yu didn't seem to care about the predicament in front of him at all. Could they really have the ability for two people to wipe out seven people whose strength was vastly different from their own?

Clearly, even Zhang Lexuan herself asked if she could do it. Such an act made Zhang Lexuan even less able to see through them.

"Boundless Heaven and Earth, Ice and Snow Cold!"

Su Yu did not hesitate at all. He took a step forward, and the surface of the lake instantly froze into solid ice. As Su Yu pushed out with both palms, a howling blizzard appeared on Sea God Lake, instantly submerging the seven people. Ning Tian, as a Support System, was the first to be submerged in the blizzard.

To prevent casualties from occurring at the beginning of the battle, the remaining six had to spare one person to protect Ning Tian, preventing Ning Tian from being affected by the blizzard.

"Such strong control, such terrifying ice-type ability!" On the Ferry Boat, an elder couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This kind of control and ice-type ability was something even Ling Luochen felt inferior to, and to a certain extent, it was even more terrifying than Huo Yuhao's Extreme Ice!

"Pavilion Master, if I remember correctly, this student named Su Yu's martial soul shouldn't be ice-type, right? Could it be that he also has Twin Martial Souls?"

After hearing the elder's words, Xuan Lao just chuckled and said: "No, no, no. I have checked this kid's martial soul; it is definitely not a Twin Martial Soul. Since he can use such powerful ice-type abilities, it might be due to the soul bone he obtained. After all, with this little guy's family background, buying an ice-type soul bone is not a very troublesome matter."

That was what he said, but Xuan Lao's eyes were also flashing with brilliance!

For more than three years, Su Yu had not been studying at Shrek Academy, but his training in the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department had not fallen behind at all. Back when Su Yu was recalled by his family, Xuan Lao was worried that Su Yu's training would be affected, but now it seems that this worry no longer had any need to exist...

Under the shroud of the blizzard, Lu Yu, Ning Tian, and the other seven felt a strong chill instantly wash over them.

Lu Yu, who had the strongest strength, was a bit better off, after all, his soul power was the strongest, but that astonishing chill still made him shiver.

The situation of the others was even worse. Ning Tian could barely maintain the buffs for them, while she herself could only hide in the Soul Guidance Protective Barrier given to her by that Soul Guidance Department student. That student from the Soul Guidance Department also had his vision greatly interfered with by the blizzard, and even attacking Su Yu became extremely difficult, and he even had to endure the erosion of the blizzard.

According to the current situation, if they didn't make a change, it was very likely that by the time the blizzard dissipated, there would only be two or three of them left.

If it were really that simple, their status as Inner Court students would be worthless.

A heaven-shaking giant wave crashed down, and in an instant, a torrential rain began to fall from the sky. Lu Yu had thought he could break Su Yu's blizzard with his soul skill. However, for some reason, the towering giant wave, like a tsunami, turned into a huge ice sculpture the moment it entered the range of the blizzard.

This, this, how is this possible!

Everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief. Even Wang Dong, who was standing beside Su Yu, stretched out her jade fingers to lightly cover her red lips, her eyes full of surprise.

"Dong'er, just leave this to me. After all, this kind of thing, just leave it to me."

As the incantation in Su Yu's mouth emerged, when the chanting was finished, a soft light slowly fell. In the sky behind Wang Dong'er, a golden figure with golden wings and holding a short sword in both hands was slowly condensing.

This was the Guardian Divine Guard that Su Yu learned from Yi Lao. He would handle the subsequent battles himself; after all, he didn't want Wang Dong'er to suffer even the slightest bit of harm in this battle.

"Snatching the bride also requires strength; otherwise, having only this much strength is not enough to qualify."

Standing on the ice sculpture formed by the giant wave, looking down at the seven people below, Su Yu said disdainfully.

At this time, Lu Yu slowly raised his hand and said: "The Inner Court is not a place where a little guy like you can run wild. After all, this is the foundation of Shrek Academy. Little junior, one shouldn't be too arrogant."

With a shake of his long spear, the sixth soul ring behind him suddenly lit up, and an astonishing water tornado quickly took shape, instantly sweeping away Su Yu's blizzard.

The others also began to gradually show their roles. On this surface of the water with no landing point, thick tree branches actually began to appear out of thin air. In just a few seconds, a tall tree instantly broke through the water!

Looking at the two shining black soul rings, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Being able to coordinate two types of martial souls to this extent is already commendable, but compared to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, you are still far behind."

Standing on the ice sculpture formed by the giant wave, Su Yu stood up calmly. A large halberd slowly took shape in his hand, and countless fragments also appeared at this moment. Two identical Su Yus stood in the air.

Two figures rushed rapidly toward the group; one of them, not waiting for Lu Yu to make a move, appeared instantly before him, and the battlefield was split apart in an instant; having lost Lu Yu, a Soul Saint, the remaining six could be said to have fallen into an unfavorable situation.

"It seems this good show is about to begin; it has been a few years, and I don't know what kind of strength this little fellow truly possesses; watch closely."

Xuan Lao held his Wine Gourd and took a sip, seemingly full of anticipation for Su Yu, but the others were not necessarily as expectant; although they had heard that Su Yu had defeated Luo Yu, one of the Sun Moon Empire's next reserve team members before returning, they were truly not very optimistic about Su Yu's near-arrogant confrontation against the seven people before them.

Facing Su Yu's dive, as the Defense System Battle Soul Master of the team, his original purpose was to stop Su Yu's Assault System attack on Ning Tian; however, the moment he was about to use a soul skill to block Su Yu, he suddenly had an illusion, as if what he was blocking before him was not Su Yu at all, but rather like a phantom.

"Block him, don't let him get near Ning Tian!"

Lu Yu, still being held back, shouted loudly, but the scene that followed caused the jaws of all seven of them to drop to the ground in shock.

Just at this moment, a strange fluctuation appeared, and the Su Yu before them instantly became incomparably transparent, just like a ghost, passing completely through the front of this Defense System Soul Emperor!

This, what on earth is going on?

The Defense System Soul Emperor before them widened his eyes in surprise; Su Yu had actually passed through his body, as if he had no physical form.

Realizing that something was wrong, the group lit up their Soul Rings one after another; their intuition told them that the moment the Su Yu before them appeared, he would definitely launch an attack.

However, the current situation did not allow them to attack at all, because Su Yu was now behind this Defense System Soul Emperor; if they launched an attack, this Defense System Soul Emperor would have to be declared out on the spot.

At the critical moment, the third and sixth Soul Rings on the Defense System Soul Emperor's body lit up one after another; his entire person seemed to be dyed a pure white like jade, his body was also constantly growing larger, his skin turned into a jade-like white, and the figure of a white elephant protected him within it.

Is this a beast martial soul similar to Xie Huanyue's?

However, this actually had little effect on Su Yu; he was just a Soul Emperor, and if one were to truly discuss strength, his defense could be beaten into a sieve by Ji Juechen alone.

A Diamond Elephant let out a deafening roar, and the four limbs of this Defense System Soul Emperor's body also became as thick as an elephant's, blocking sturdily in front of him, all to stop Su Yu's attack.

But the attack they imagined did not arrive; a scream rang out behind them, and at some unknown time, a figure had already appeared behind Ning Tian.

The group looked closely, only to discover that Su Yu had somehow appeared behind Ning Tian, and now Ning Tian had become the target he was holding hostage.

"Ning Tian, out."

As the Senior Sister's voice rang out, Su Yu also loosened the short sword he had held against Ning Tian's neck.
