Chapter 19: Su Yu

The last one remaining, Zhao Haochen, was also swept directly off the stage by Wang Dong's unceremonious guillotine strike.

They won; they won this match without a shred of suspense.

Wang Dong possessed twenty-four levels of soul power, and in terms of martial soul, he completely suppressed Ouyang Junyi; there was absolutely no suspense in this victory.

As for Chen Junfeng, it goes without saying; with his eighteen levels of soul power, his soul skill was easily blocked by Wang Dong the moment it was unleashed, and he didn't even manage to touch the corner of Wang Dong's clothes.

To call the three of them miserable would be an understatement; it was more like tragic.

"Team Su Yu of Class One wins the match," Wang Yan announced, then recorded it in the document in his hand.

The other three slunk away from the Thirty-Third District, having been knocked into rolling gourds by their opponents at the very first encounter; they were practically at the point of shame and anger.

The subsequent assessments were even more frequent, with two matches held every morning and afternoon. Su Yu didn't take them to heart, unless they happened to run into the team of Dai Huabin, the most troublesome one from the original story.

However, Su Yu actually hoped that he could trigger a butterfly effect and avoid Dai Huabin's team. After all, without Huo Yu Hao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he really didn't know how to deal with the Nether White Tiger of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

To be fair, Su Yu was quite curious about what kind of woman the Zhu Family, the royal specialty of this generation, would produce. No, it should be the Dai Family specialty; after all, the Star Luo Empire was no longer ruled by the Dai Family as emperors.

Su Yu himself intended to follow the path of an Assault System, but upon closer thought, if he didn't bring some Control, he really shouldn't dream of taking on a whole group at once like Huo Gua.

Compared to the exhausting matches of other teams, Su Yu and his team's matches were always simple and straightforward, ending with a chaotic beating. Five wins out of five, easy and relaxed. Su Yu had tried out his Mysterious Jade Hand, Control Crane Capturing Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and taking down a bunch of guys under Level 20 was completely effortless.

Their fighting style was completely different from the original story. Sometimes Su Yu, Wang Dong, and Huo Yu Hao would watch from the sidelines, sometimes Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong would be the main attackers while Su Yu directed, and other times Wang Dong would watch while Su Yu and Huo Yu Hao took the lead.

After five battles, the abilities of all three had been demonstrated, but from beginning to end, they had never seen Huo Yu Hao's martial soul. It wasn't that Huo Yu Hao didn't want to use it, but that his martial soul was his eyes.

In the original story, Huo Yu Hao was looked down upon precisely because he had nothing to show. Now that Su Yu had given Huo Yu Hao this opportunity, if Huo Yu Hao still couldn't grasp it, then Su Yu could only watch as Huo Yu Hao followed the path of the original protagonist's halo.

Walking out of the assessment area, they saw Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao's match didn't seem to have gone very smoothly, but she still waved at Wang Dong from afar.

Looking at the little loli Xiao Xiao waving, Su Yu looked at Wang Dong with a meaningful expression and said, "We're both men, I understand, I understand..."

"Understand your head, get lost..." Wang Dong looked at Su Yu's meaningful expression, feeling somewhat ashamed and angry; the reason for this was likely something only Su Yu knew.

For a tomboy to reach your level, it really is a bit different.

On the way back, they ran into two familiar people. Upon seeing them, all three couldn't help but be stunned.

Xu Sanshi, usually high-spirited, now looked ashen, as if his energy had been drained, his whole person in a state of extreme weakness; he looked exactly like he had been...

Ma Xiaotao was still as luscious as ever, every movement exuding a charming aura, but on her charming face, there was a hint of an unnatural flush, and the light pink in her eyes had deepened by a few shades.

Evil Fire, it must be that the Evil Fire had flared up!

Su Yu knew that before Ma Xiaotao's future corruption, her Evil Fire could not be separated from Huo Yu Hao's suppression; only the Ultimate Ice attribute martial soul of Huo Yu Hao's Ice Jade Empress Scorpion could suppress the Evil Fire of her Evil Fire Phoenix.

Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire was not like Ma Hongjun's; Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire was solved by visiting brothels, but Ma Xiaotao relied on the soul power of Ice or Water attribute Soul Masters to suppress it.

Xu Sanshi was quite tragically chosen by Ma Xiaotao. Basically, every time he helped suppress the Evil Fire, it left Xu Sanshi in agony; not only did his body suffer from the torment of the Evil Fire, but he also had to contribute his own soul power to suppress it.

Xu's miserable encounter was truly sympathetic. If it weren't for Huo Yu Hao taking over later, it is feared that Xu would never have been able to walk out of the shadow Ma Xiaotao cast over him for the rest of his life.

"Isn't that found? Sister Xiaotao, I can go now, right?" Xu Sanshi said with a bitter smile. After being tossed around for days, amidst intense pain and torment, he had finally survived. Every time he helped Ma Xiaotao suppress the Evil Fire, Xu Sanshi's mindset was basically no different from being in total despair.

Ma Xiaotao nodded, agreeing to Xu Sanshi's request.

Xu Sanshi looked at Huo Yu Hao with great sympathy, then ran off as fast as he could. Watching Xu Sanshi's disloyal behavior, Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong both felt a tightness in their hearts, vaguely sensing that something was about to happen.

Su Yu, however, looked at Ma Xiaotao with confidence. Ma Xiaotao's aura had already begun to fluctuate, and her current state was actually not stable. She needed Huo Yu Hao's help, but Tian Meng had long since fallen into a deep sleep; in any case, he wouldn't be able to make a move within a year.

"You two come with me. The junior with powder-blue hair, you go back first." Ma Xiaotao had originally intended to let both Su Yu and Wang Dong go back, but suddenly remembering something, she kept Su Yu behind as well.

Wang Dong was somewhat confused, but Su Yu shook his head and gestured for him to go back first.

Walking to the shore of Sea God Lake, Ma Xiaotao said, "Huo Yu Hao, you should know who I am. I had no choice but to attack you, and I apologize to you here."

Huo Yu Hao was confused, but still replied politely, "Senior Xiaotao, let the past be the past. Besides, the academy has already compensated us."

Ma Xiaotao turned abruptly, the color of her pink eyes deepening by a few shades. An indescribable pressure appeared instantly, making both Su Yu and Huo Yu Hao feel somewhat oppressed.

"However, for me, this matter is not over yet." Ma Xiaotao's voice was low. Su Yu knew this was the precursor to her attacking.

"That day, there must have been an Ice attribute Soul Master who stopped me, which is why you weren't harmed. This person is very important to me. Huo Yu Hao, tell me everything you know, or if they are your protector, I must find them."

"And you, Su Yu, you told me that day that Huo Yu Hao would definitely not let me down. You must also know about that Ice attribute Soul Master by Sea God Lake."

Huo Yu Hao pretended to know nothing and said, "Senior Xiaotao, I don't understand what you mean. When you lunged at me that day, the high temperature on your body already caused us to pass out directly. I have no idea what happened after that!"

Watching Huo Yu Hao feign innocence, Su Yu really wanted to laugh, but since Su Yu had spoken up, he would definitely make sure Huo Yu Hao and Ma Xiaotao connected. Otherwise, why would he have told Ma Xiaotao that day that the name Huo Yu Hao would definitely not disappoint her?

Now that Ma Xiaotao had come to find Huo Yu Hao, it was clear that Xu Sanshi's help was no longer effective, unless she stopped cultivating.

Su Yu smiled indifferently, making no statement; he was waiting, waiting for the right moment.

"You really don't know?"

Ma Xiaotao's voice had begun to turn cold. However, just as Ma Xiaotao was about to strike, a calm voice came.

"Senior Xiaotao, I have a way to suppress your Evil Fire, but not now. Even if we had that ability now, I fear we wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of your Evil Fire."

Hearing Su Yu's words, Huo Yu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't understand why Su Yu would speak up; he had the same doubts in his heart.

"If Senior Xiaotao doesn't believe me, I, Su Yu, can guarantee you that I definitely have a way to help you suppress the Evil Fire."

Ma Xiaotao had originally not believed Su Yu's words, but once Su Yu said he could help her suppress the Evil Fire, she basically no longer doubted him. If he didn't know about the existence of the Evil Fire, how could he possibly speak of suppressing it?
