Chapter 25: Tianba Dongba Tua?

After those fragments were infused with Su Yu's soul power, they unexpectedly emitted a sharp radiance, just like a second martial soul.

With a wave of his hand, those fragments actually converged toward his hands, eventually forming two sharp weapons, resembling a pair of short swords.

Hmm, short swords? Let me see if I can change them into something else?

Su Yu's mind stirred, and those fragments returned to their original appearance, then began to rotate continuously around Su Yu.

Rip...

Damn it, I forgot this is my dorm, my bed...

The fragments circled, like sharp blades, piercing Su Yu's bed until it was riddled with holes. Looking at his quilt, which had turned into a tattered sack, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of helplessness.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out, startling Wang Dong, who was still meditating, causing him to tremble all over. He then looked in surprise at the disheveled Su Yu.

"Su Yu, are you trying to blow up the dorm?"

Su Yu's bed had already turned into a pile of ruins. Climbing up from the wreckage, Su Yu looked at Wang Dong with great helplessness, "No, there was a little accident. By the way, how do you report a bed for repairs in the dorm..."

Wang Dong: "..."

Su Yu: "..."

That night, Su Yu was very unfortunate and had to sleep on a floor mat. Although he tried several times to squeeze onto Wang Dong's bed, he was kicked off without mercy by Wang Dong.

"Is there any justice left? We're both guys, can't you let me squeeze in for one night since my bed is broken?" Su Yu complained, sitting on the floor mat in grief and indignation.

Wang Dong, however, clutched his quilt with a look of horror, "Even if you beat me to death today, I won't let you onto my bed. No way! Don't come over here, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"We're roommates after all, can't I just squeeze in? The floor is so cold, aren't you worried I'll catch a cold? Can we still be good roommates?" Su Yu continued to speak with brazen impudence.

"Get lost!"

Wang Dong kicked him down again. Clearly, he was extremely resistant to Su Yu's actions, but this kick happened to land right on Su Yu's lower abdomen, almost making him vomit up his dinner from the night before.

"Hiss, I was just saying, no need for that, hiss..."

Su Yu clutched his lower abdomen, squatting on the ground and gritting his teeth as he sucked in cold air. Caught completely off guard, he had taken that kick from Wang Dong squarely.

"Su Yu, what's wrong? Are you okay? I didn't mean to, I..."

Wang Dong was also a bit flustered. He hadn't expected that Su Yu, who had just recovered from his injuries, would fail to dodge the kick, as Su Yu's condition was currently unstable.

"My wounds haven't healed yet, and you hit me again. It hurts so much..."

Seeing this, Su Yu didn't say a word and started rolling around on the floor mat while clutching his stomach, shouting in pain while struggling quite theatrically.

"I didn't mean it, Su Yu, I..."

Wang Dong was also at a loss. In truth, how could he know that this kid Su Yu had long since been jumping around and had even made some gains; it was just that he wasn't used to his current state yet.

"Wang Dong..." Su Yu's tone was somewhat weak, "Let me lie down for a while, my wounds don't feel comfortable lying on the floor."

One must strike while the iron is hot. Wang Dong was somewhat resistant, but looking at Su Yu's painful appearance, guilt ultimately gained the upper hand in his heart.

"But I'm saying this now: just this once, no crossing the line!"

Wang Dong used his hand to draw a boundary in the middle of the bed and warned him.

Su Yu was also very sensible; he took a quilt from his Storage Soul Guidance Device, and the two of them lay down honestly on the single bed, back to back, and fell asleep.

That night, Su Yu slept exceptionally comfortably. He could smell that faint fragrance, a scent that always made him feel a bit itchy in his heart.

Waking up from his sleep, Su Yu washed up in a daze. Wang Dong also looked a bit disheveled; he was wondering why he had made the decision to let Su Yu squeeze in last night...

For a moment, they looked at each other, and the scene was once awkward. In any case, Su Yu's thick-skinned nature was always maxed out, but he could see that the fair-skinned, rosy-cheeked Wang Dong across from him was as red as a honey peach, all the way down to his neck.

"There's still an assessment today, don't be late. Let's go, let's go..."

The two of them hurried all the way to the assessment grounds. Looking at Su Yu and Wang Dong's messy hair and the strange looks from the two of them, the simple-minded Huo Yuhao nearby looked on in confusion.

As soon as he saw Huo Yuhao, Su Yu ran over quickly and said, "Did you open the thing I gave you yesterday?"

Mentioning the box Su Yu gave Huo Yuhao yesterday, there actually wasn't anything else inside—just one Mysterious Water Pill and one other pill for increasing soul power.

These things were not in short supply for Su Yu, and furthermore, Huo Yuhao needed them more than he did. If it weren't for the Mysterious Water Pill he had given him, Huo Yuhao's soul power would have reached level 17 long ago, instead of the current level 16.

Sometimes, everything is just following one's heart...

"Su Yu, you..." Huo Yuhao was just about to speak when Su Yu waved his hand to stop him.

"Alright, does my family lack this little bit of money? You gave me a Mysterious Water Pill before, too; good things should be shared together, right?"

Su Yu spoke eloquently. Just then, Wang Dong leaned over, looking at them with a mysterious expression.

"Su Yu, ever since school started, you've been protecting Huo Yuhao at every turn. I'm starting to suspect more and more that you have some bad habits..."

"Hm? Me?" Su Yu and Huo Yuhao were both plunged into confusion at the same time. They truly didn't know what Wang Dong was talking about.

Wang Dong looked at the two confused people with a meaningful gaze, "Ever since school started, you've been protecting Yu Hao at every turn. Yu Hao even gave you such a precious pill as the Mysterious Water Pill. You tell me, what is this? Isn't this an emotion between men that transcends friendship? Hahaha..."

Wang Dong laughed more and more happily, while Su Yu and Huo Yuhao's faces grew darker and darker.

"Wang Dong, you stop right there!"

"Help! Su Yu, stop chasing me..." Wang Dong was extremely decisive, directly manifesting his Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul and running forward for his life.

Su Yu chased relentlessly behind him with a dark face. Seeing his fierce and menacing appearance, Wang Dong didn't dare to linger.

"Ah, you tell me to stop, why are you chasing me! Only a fool would stop, I won't!"

The speed of Wang Dong's Radiant Goddess Butterfly was clearly above Su Yu's. There was still some time before they had to go on stage. He had the confidence that, with Su Yu's speed, it was impossible to catch up to him.

"If you didn't run, would I chase you? Stop right there! The assessment is about to start, where are you running to?" Su Yu continued to chase relentlessly. If he didn't teach this guy a good lesson this time, he would really become more and more presumptuous!

"If you didn't chase, would I run? It's obvious you want to team up with Huo Yuhao to bully me. Only a fool wouldn't run!" Just as Wang Dong was running at full speed, he suddenly bumped into a transparent wall.

"The competition is about to start, and you're still messing around? Wang Dong, get down here!"

Zhou Yi waved her hand, revealing her cultivation as a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, and grabbed Wang Dong directly.

Looking at the two of them close at hand, Wang Dong could only offer an awkward smile. But seeing Su Yu's already darkened face, now that he had been caught by Zhou Yi, he could only swallow his pride and accept it.

There were quite a few more people on the spectator stands today than yesterday. Many people had already filled the seats even before the matches began. But strangely, in the center of the high platform, a three-square-meter area had been left empty.

An old man with messy hair and tattered clothes sat there, his bare feet dangling off the edge of the high platform, holding a large purple-red gourd and drinking wine.

Beside him were several Chicken Legs placed on oil paper, and he held a Chicken Leg in his own hand, taking a sip of wine and a bite of meat, eating with great delight.

Those who could ascend the high platform to watch the battle were all teachers of Shrek Academy, yet not a single person dared to approach this old man, nor did anyone dare to question him.

Hmm, Xuan Lao?

Xuan Lao's position was very conspicuous, and Su Yu could see him at a glance; with the Taotie Divine Cow Martial Soul, he was also a big shot of Shrek Academy in the later stages, and in the original work, he took Xiao Xiao as a disciple, but he just didn't know if his own appearance now would still lead to the same outcome as the original work?

Huo Yuhao went to draw the lots; Su Yu, who considered himself unlucky, truly did not want to risk a critical hit to his lifespan, for if he drew Dai Huabin directly, wouldn't that be an instant death on the spot?

The competition area expanded once again, with eight spacious arenas starting matches simultaneously.

"Damn it, Huo, is your luck bound to the world? How is it still unchanged? How do we fight? Tell me how we fight!"

Looking at their opponents, Su could not help but feel a flash of regret in his heart; if he had known, he would have let Wang Dong go, or even gone himself—why was it exactly the same as the original work?

Complaining was just complaining, but Su Yu had also more or less confirmed one thing: matters related to Huo Yuhao would not change, but he himself could cause some things to deviate from their original trajectory, though it could only be certain things.

As soon as the three opponents entered the arena, they lined up horizontally; standing in the center was a tall, fat boy who, judging by his age, was definitely no older than twelve, but his physique was already far too developed—from a distance, he looked exactly like a living gas canister...

And compared to him, the two people beside him were simply a big brown bear and a little white rabbit...

The other two seemed to be brothers, but they lacked the features of twins; the only thing that caught Su Yu's attention was their pair of long, slender arms.

Could this be the reincarnation of a gibbon? Why would a perfectly good person have such long hands? Don't you know it looks ugly?

"Both sides, state your names and prepare for the match," the proctor said in a deep voice.

The gas canister slapped his chest fiercely, causing all his fat to tremble, "Freshman Class Two, Xie Huanyue."

"Freshman Class Two, Luo Tianba."

"Freshman Class Two, Luo Tianlong."

We are Tianba Dongba Tua!

…………

Got it wrong, let's do it again...

"Freshman Class Two, Xie Huanyue."

"Freshman Class Two, Luo Tianlong."

"Freshman Class Two, Luo Tianba."

Those two brothers had imposing names, but looking at their thin, small frames and long, slender arms, Su Yu's mind was filled with images of monkeys scurrying about in a tropical rainforest...
