Chapter 161: The Hunter's Game (Part II)

"The game isn't over yet? What are you all still standing there for..."

Looking at the few who were still in shock, Su Yu vanished from his spot once more; when his ghostly figure reappeared, he was already standing before Lu Yu.

At this moment, Lu Yu had already crushed his own clone; if Su Yu could not hold Lu Yu back, the subsequent battle would completely fall into a passive state, but the situation was different now.

The strongest Support System, Ning Tian, had already been cleared out, and Lu Yu's combat power was not as formidable as before; what Su Yu needed to do now was to split the battlefield once again.

Once their strongest combat power was restrained, the remaining few would be completely unable to unleash the maximum combat strength of their six-person coordination.

"Martial Soul Avatar!"

Following a loud shout from Lu Yu, the originally ice-blue spear in his hand bloomed with dazzling light; in his grip, the spear grew continuously, and in just a few blinks of an eye, it had become four or five times its original size.

Is this the Martial Soul Avatar of a Tool Martial Soul?

It's just that I don't know what my own Martial Soul Avatar will be like when I reach the Soul Saint level.

At this very moment, a layer of ice-blue light also covered Lu Yu's body; there was no longer any difference between the aura he released and that of the Xuanhai Spirit Spear in his hand.

So this is the function of the Martial Soul Avatar?

Once one's strength reaches a certain level, one's martial soul will completely become a part of oneself, and it is precisely because of this unparalleled compatibility that the Soul Master's strength increases once again.

Lu Yu raised his long spear and pointed; an ice-blue light image instantly magnified before Lu Yu—it was the spear shadow of the Xuanhai Spirit Spear, which seemed to be magnifying infinitely.

A loud, booming sound rang out, and the spear shadow that struck Su Yu instantly exploded; Su Yu was sent flying back as if on cue, soaring nearly a hundred meters away and smashing heavily into the tsunami ice sculpture that Su Yu had personally frozen earlier.

Before that terrifying spear shadow, even if Su Yu were stronger, he would still be instantly repelled, but it was precisely because of this strength of Lu Yu's that the others were unable to intervene at all; otherwise, Su Yu's situation would only be more dangerous.

It must be said that Lu Yu's strength was indeed formidable; in that astonishing strike, let alone dodging, Su Yu didn't even have the chance to unleash a soul skill.

The reputation of the continent's number one academy, Shrek Academy's Inner Court, how could it be an empty name?

This move alone filled even the onlookers present with astonishment, though at the same time, some were secretly worried for Su Yu.

After all, this was a strike from a Level 70 Soul Saint's Tool Martial Soul Avatar; was Su Yu really okay after this hit?

"Su Yu!" Wang Dong'er's voice broke the tranquility of the Sea God Fate Festival, and just as she was about to stand up to look for Su Yu, a voice slowly drifted over.

"Dong'er, I'm fine."

Boom!

A loud explosion rang out, and the massive ice sculpture collapsed with a roar; amidst the crumbling ice blocks, Su Yu's figure slowly walked out.

"I have to say, your strength is powerful enough, and the name of the Shrek Inner Court is well-deserved."

After this strike, the school uniform on Su Yu's upper body had completely shattered, revealing a blood-red suit of armor underneath; the armor on his upper body looked like a giant blood-colored dragon coiling around Su Yu's body.

Tidying his messy hair slightly and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Su Yu reached out his right hand in a hollow grasp, and countless fragments suddenly appeared, forming a great halberd in his hand.

"Ice Extreme, Boundless!"

Behind Su Yu, a pair of blood-red Soul Guidance wings suddenly spread, and a blood-red figure flickered continuously where the countless fragments were located.

Fast, too fast, it was simply too fast!

Under the soul skill Mirror Image Transfer, Su Yu continuously closed the distance to Lu Yu; in just a few breaths, Su Yu had already appeared less than ten meters in front of Lu Yu.

"Not good, this little guy..."

Snow-white light continuously gathered toward the great halberd in Su Yu's hand, and when Su Yu arrived before Lu Yu, the great halberd in Su Yu's hand was also trembling continuously.

This trembling was not because Su Yu was afraid, but because this great halberd was carrying an extremely terrifying power.

Clearly, the opponent was just a half-baked Soul Master who hadn't even obtained his Fifth Soul Ring, but for some reason, a strong sense of fear arose in Lu Yu's heart.

Without waiting for Su Yu to reach him, Lu Yu retreated rapidly; his combat intuition told him that if he were to take that halberd strike head-on, the subsequent battle would not need to continue at all.

Just as he was retreating rapidly, a calm yet deep voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Wanting to retreat now, don't you think it's too late?"

The voice carried a ghostly power, echoing in Lu Yu's mind as if it were omnipresent.

Before the great halberd could fall, what met him was a fist that was continuously magnifying before Lu Yu.

Boom!

This punch landed on Lu Yu's Tool Martial Soul Avatar, and the massive force still sent Lu Yu flying backward.

When Lu Yu fell into Sea God Lake, it actually stirred up a huge splash!

Just what kind of power this punch contained, presumably only Lu Yu, who experienced it personally, would know.

Just as the other few wanted to step forward to join forces and stop Su Yu, Su Yu's figure vanished from his spot once again.

Rumble!

Another roaring sound rang out; Su Yu held the great halberd in one hand and smashed his right fist heavily onto the surface of Sea God Lake, causing the remaining five to be shaken until they were swaying unsteadily—after all, maintaining stability on this lake surface was already difficult enough, let alone the fact that they could fly.

Moreover, on this water surface, they had no place to borrow leverage.

However, just after they stabilized their figures, Lu Yu was still being sent flying backward toward the water by the powerful recoil force, and it would be impossible for him to appear in everyone's field of vision again in a short time.

This meant that the five people were now in a state of isolation and helplessness.

Five Shrek Inner Court disciples being forced to this extent by a student who had just entered the Inner Court and hadn't even attached his Fifth Soul Ring—this in itself was an utterly absurd thing to happen in the outside world.

The next instant, that terrifying figure vanished into a cloud of black mist, and when the black mist dissipated, something even more desperate for them arrived.

There actually appeared two Su Yus!

Second Soul Skill, Phantom Shadow.

The two figures charged toward the five people in unison; Su Yu's true body was easy to identify—the one wearing the blood-red armor was Su Yu, while the other held two short swords made of fragments.

However, the speed of these two figures did not differ much; one could see a blood-colored figure and a continuously magnifying fist charging rapidly toward them.

That Defense System Soul Emperor had no choice now; the only person who could possibly block this punch from Su Yu's true body was him, and now, for the sake of his teammates, he had to choose to take Su Yu's earth-shattering punch head-on.

Just at this critical moment, a light shone on his body; this was...

Invincible Protective Shield, a Level 6 Soul Guidance Device, capable of increasing one's defense by three times.

With the help of the Soul Guidance Device, he was now absolutely confident that he could take this punch from Su Yu!

A phantom image of a giant elephant emerged, and the other four quickly gathered behind him; as the soul rings of this Defense System Soul Emperor lit up one after another, his defensive power also reached a terrifying level—it is no exaggeration to say that his defensive ability was now completely above Lu Yu's.

A blood-colored fist slammed into the giant elephant's phantom image without any flair, and subsequently, the giant elephant phantom let out a painful wail; an extremely terrifying power instantly erupted on the giant elephant, and the powerful explosion instantly shattered the Invincible Protective Shield.

Before Su Yu's clone could arrive, the massive body of that Defense System Soul Emperor was sent flying back by the impact, and the four people behind him were also sent flying along with him.

They had originally intended to combine the strength of the four of them to forcibly catch this Defense System Soul Emperor, but the moment they made contact with him, an extremely terrifying rebounding force made it almost impossible for them to breathe; the four of them only held on for a single breath before they were sent flying away together.

How strong the defense of this Defense System Soul Emperor was, the Inner Court members present knew better than anyone; even someone as strong as the Soul Saint Lu Yu had no confidence in being able to Break his defense. While he was inferior to Lu Yu in overall strength, in terms of defense, he was the strongest among the Soul Emperors of the Inner Court!

Yet, this title did not allow him to continue holding on; now, he could not even take a single punch from Su Yu—to be precise, one that even had an Invincible Protective Shield added to it, and that was even with the five of them working together.

In this battle, there was no such thing as technique; it was pure suppression!

This was a battle filled with pure aesthetic violence; from beginning to end, aside from using a small trick at the start to deal with Ning Tian, it was entirely relying on an extremely formidable combat power, unilaterally suppressing them with an extremely violent fighting method.

At this very moment, Lu Yu also struggled to break out of the water of Sea God Lake, but what he did not know was that the progress of events did not show any turning point because of his reappearance.

When Lu Yu rose from Sea God Lake again, a great halberd suffused with a bone-chilling power of Extreme Ice slashed down at his head.

Looking at the rapidly approaching great halberd, none of the remaining five dared to come up to block it; unless the five worked together, there was no hope of them being able to block it on their own.

A brilliant golden light suddenly bloomed from Su Yu's body, and under Su Yu's halberd, the water of Sea God Lake was torn open, creating a rift several meters wide and nearly a hundred meters long.

The surface of the lake had been split open!

And at the center of this rift was exactly where Lu Yu was!

The high-splashing waves kept rolling on the surface of the lake, and around Su Yu, the temperature was dropping crazily at an unbelievable speed.

Almost instantly, the splashing waves were frozen into solid ice; the lake surface, which had been rolling violently a moment ago, turned into a world of ice and snow the next instant!

Even Lu Yu, who was under the water surface, was suddenly suspended in mid-air, frozen into an ice sculpture by the bone-chilling cold, and smashed toward the depths of Sea God Lake...

Under this extreme cold, even the Senior Sister had to circulate her soul power to resist this bone-chilling chill.

"Where did this kid get an ice-attribute martial soul? Could it be another Twin Martial Souls, Extreme Ice?"

Xuan Lao stared at this scene, dumbfounded; he also had not expected that Su Yu could possess strength in ice attributes not inferior to Huo Yu Hao, and in terms of ice attributes, the strength Su Yu displayed was even more powerful than Huo Yu Hao's!

On the Ferry Boat, the group of Sea God Pavilion elders had all stood up.

"Is this the aura of Extreme Ice?"

Outside the battle range, the Inner Court students participating in the Sea God Pavilion blind date event were all looking somewhat dazed at this moment. Looking at the lake surface where a rift of over a hundred meters had appeared, and Lu Yu who had already disappeared above Sea God Lake, they felt waves of chill in their hearts.

This was no longer shock; it was horror!

"Lu Yu, eliminated."

Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan's voice came again; Su Yu slowly turned around, like a hunting demon, and gave a calm smile toward the five people who were still dumbfounded.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes were full of shock; when she turned her head to look at Bei Bei beside her, what she saw was also a gaze full of shock. Clearly, Bei Bei also did not know that his little junior brother's strength could be powerful to such a degree.

As the Senior Sister of the Inner Court, Zhang Lexuan naturally understood Su Yu's strength, but although she had some understanding, she had not expected that Su Yu's strength would be this powerful.

"Five more, come together."

Under the influence of this bone-chilling cold and Su Yu's terrifying strength, the remaining five no longer had any intention to fight.

Who would want to go and get abused?

The previous punch had already given the five of them full psychological trauma; who would dare to go now?

Rubbing their chests where blood and Qi were surging, the five spat out a mouthful of blood in unison, their faces pale as they slumped onto the ice of Sea God Lake.

"We concede..."

Just then, as if they had made some difficult decision, they said helplessly.

Turning around, Su Yu faced Wang Dong'er and said softly, "It's finally over, isn't it?"

"Mm." Wang Dong answered softly.

Her powder-blue long hair hung behind her, and in her pair of bright, large powder-blue eyes, her gaze rippled with deep shyness; for some reason, at this moment, Wang Dong'er did not dare to look directly at Su Yu.

"This day, I have actually waited a long time; today, it has finally been realized..."

Looking at the shy Wang Dong'er, Su Yu waved his hand to disperse the ice seal, letting Lu Yu, who had been sealed under the solid ice, be freed from his predicament.

Listening to Su Yu's words, Wang Dong'er finally smiled; that fleeting smile was instantly as brilliant as a hundred flowers in full bloom, as beautiful as life blooming in the bitter cold.

In fact, putting herself in his shoes, for the sake of today, had she not also gone to great pains?

She actually did not know that Su Yu had been waiting for a suitable opportunity all along.

For this, she had waited for Su Yu for over two years, yet she did not know that Su Yu had waited for her for over four years...

Even with the separation of over two years, Wang Dong'er had never tried to forget Su Yu; although Su Yu was not by her side, in her life, there were traces of Su Yu everywhere, and those traces had long since merged into every detail of her life...

In her heart, an indelible mark had been left.
