Chapter 27: Self Image, Still in the Mirror!

"Come again, let me see just how much of a difference there is in strength when a Douluo combatant, known as the floor tile of fantasy, faces a gap of a major realm!"

Su Yu's martial soul, the Mirror, emerged, reflecting Xie Huanyue's figure within it. At this moment, Su Yu's first spirit ring appeared, and his first spirit skill activated, replicating all of Xie Huanyue's movements in his mind. However, Su Yu truly could not imitate the movements of Xie Huanyue's Meat Egg Onion Chicken spirit skill...

Xie Huanyue's figure sprang up once more, his second spirit ring lighting up. His thick, short right arm suddenly elongated, lashing out toward Su Yu's body at extreme speed.

Although Huo Yuhao had already launched a Spirit Shock, it still could not stop Xie Huanyue's offensive. A flash of purple passed through Su Yu's eyes, and the mirror fragments scattered in the surroundings converged toward Su Yu once again.

Those shattered mirror fragments quickly surrounded Su Yu, eventually condensing into a mirror covered in cracks, which refracted the surrounding scene.

"Self Image, Still in the Mirror!"

Su Yu could not help but recall a very familiar phrase, and he spoke it involuntarily. It felt just like those days back on Blue Star, incomparably familiar.

A thick arm suddenly appeared, striking accurately upon the mirror composed of mirror fragments. As the arm descended, a strange force was transmitted; Su Yu was sent flying again, and the mirror made of fragments shattered once more, returning to its original state.

Drip, drip.

On Xie Huanyue's arm, fine wounds appeared, and fresh blood slowly dripped down along his arm.

However, Su Yu, who had fallen to the ground opposite him, raised his palm and made a distant grasping motion toward Xie Huanyue. The fragments dancing in the sky actually stilled once more, all pointing toward Xie Huanyue!

In this instant, even Xie Huanyue, a Three-ring Soul Venerable, felt a chill run down his back. How could a Level 20 one-ring Soul Master make him feel this way? Most incredible of all was that he had been injured repeatedly, and even with his first and second spirit skills both unleashed, he still could not defeat the opponent!

Is this still just a one-ring Soul Master? Looking at Wang Dong hovering in the air and the pale-faced Su Yu fallen on the ground, Xie Huanyue did not know why he felt pressure.

He knew that he would sometimes fall into a trance; it was definitely the work of that guy in the corner who only had a ten-year spirit ring. The person flying above his head had directly defeated Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba with absolute crushing strength.

Xie Huanyue was confident that if it were only Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, he would have the certainty to defeat them both, but now, a one-ring Su Yu kept making him suffer injuries.

"Wang Dong, don't intervene, let me handle it myself!"

Su Yu stood up from the ground unsteadily again. The fragments emitted a faint trembling sound, as if the metal were resonating.

To be able to stand up after enduring a blow from Xie Huanyue's second spirit skill—at this moment, even Wang Dong had to admit that Su Yu was stronger than anyone else of the same level. Facing the Three-ring Soul Venerable Xie Huanyue alone and still being able to hold on to this extent, looking across the entire freshman year, how many could do it?

"Self Image, Still in the Mirror!"

The fragments continuously emitted a piercing, trembling sound. The sharp mirror fragments refracting cold light made even Xie Huanyue feel a chill in his heart. He had never imagined that he would feel fear because of a one-ring Soul Master, but the one-ring Soul Master opposite him...

Under Su Yu's guidance, the fragments launched an attack at Xie Huanyue in unison. In an instant, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

However, the hovering fragments flew halfway before falling powerlessly to the ground, subsequently turning into fine specks of light and returning to Su Yu's body.

"Su Yu!"

As Wang Dong's voice fell, everyone turned their gazes back to Su Yu, only to see that Su Yu's complexion had become incomparably pale; the hand he had raised had not yet been retracted before he collapsed to the ground.

After struggling several times without being able to stand up, Su Yu finally looked helplessly at the approaching Xie Huanyue and revealed a strained smile, "As expected, I still can't cross a major realm to fight like those cheaters, hahaha..."

Watching the fallen Su Yu opposite him, Xie Huanyue cursed inwardly. A one-ring Soul Master had wasted so much of his time and soul power, and now there was still a Level 24 Wang Dong and a Support System.

Su Yu had lost his combat capability, yet all of this was seen clearly by Wang Dong, who was hovering in the sky. He knew that if Su Yu had gone to deal with the Luo brothers, with his strength, he would absolutely not have suffered such heavy injuries. But he had chosen to let himself deal with the Luo brothers and face the strongest, Xie Huanyue, all alone!

Looking at Su Yu's slightly regretful smile, for a moment, both Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao felt their eyes redden. Who could have known that Su Yu had been their core from beginning to end?

If he had come to deal with Xie Huanyue, Su Yu would absolutely not have been injured a second time. The first time, he traded injury for injury, causing Nanmen Yun'er, whose strength was far superior to his own, to lose her combat capability directly!

Her own martial soul shattered, and she was heavily wounded on the spot!

The second time, the opponent was Xie Huanyue, a Three-ring Soul Venerable. Even knowing the opponent's strength was above his own, he still chose Xie Huanyue. This time, Su Yu even wounded Xie Huanyue, buying enough time for Wang Dong and causing the scales of victory to tilt toward them.

Yet, Su Yu was wounded again. In every battle, Su Yu was always the most crucial person, and every time, he was also the only one injured!

"Yu Hao, do it!"

Wang Dong's Wing Blade slashed toward Xie Huanyue continuously, diving down from the sky and launching an attack on Xie Huanyue regardless of his own safety.

Looking at Wang Dong's desperate appearance, Huo Yuhao felt deep guilt in his heart. If only he could fight like Su Yu, he could also fight side-by-side with Su Yu, instead of Su Yu always protecting him.

In that match against Wu Feng's team, Huo Yuhao had never forgotten: Su Yu could clearly have dodged that blow from Nanmen Yun'er, but Su Yu did not dodge, choosing to trade injury for injury to take out the opponent's Nanmen Yun'er.

Others might not know the reason, but Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao absolutely knew why: because behind Su Yu was Huo Yuhao!

The Spirit Eye flickered, and the Purple Demon Eye slowly emerged. Huo Yuhao used all of his soul power on the Spirit Shock, "Avenge Su Yu!"

In an instant, Wang Dong felt a violent spiritual disturbance; even Wang Dong, as a teammate, felt that extremely powerful Spirit Shock.

The Spirit Shock rushed directly into Xie Huanyue's mind, causing Xie Huanyue to be struck as if by lightning. For a moment, his pupils dilated sharply, and his eyes became instantly dazed...

"Butterfly Goddess Light!"

The spirit rings on Wang Dong's body lit up suddenly—the first spirit ring, the second spirit ring, two rings, one yellow and one purple.
