Chapter 29: Searching for the Soul Guidance Department

"Sleeping so comfortably, what time is it now, Wang Dong?"

Su Yu opened his hazy eyes and woke Wang Dong, who was still cultivating.

Wang Dong looked at the spirited Su Yu and gave him a knowing smile. "It's just about time for a meal. Speaking of which, how is that grilled fish technique you learned from Huo Yu Hao coming along? Care to let me taste your handiwork another day?"

"Eat, eat, let's talk about future things in the future. Let's go, go, go..."

In fact, among the class, the person with whom Wang Dong had the best relationship was Su Yu, and the two of them often bickered and played around. In the original work, because of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the relationship between Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong was once incredibly ambiguous; if Wang Dong hadn't truly been a girl, Huo Yu Hao probably would never have been straight at all...

But to be honest, with Wang Dong's appearance, being bent is also...

Uh, never mind, not suitable for children, stop, stop...

The two of them walked with their arms around each other's shoulders, mocking each other's performance during the competition the whole way. Anyway, from the start of school until now, these two had never once had a peaceful moment.

Either Wang Dong found Su Yu an eyesore, or Su Yu and Wang Dong argued endlessly over the course content. The most fatal thing was that whenever Wang Dong couldn't win an argument, he would activate his martial soul for a one-on-one.

Every time he saw Wang Dong being a sore loser, Su Yu could only roll his eyes helplessly; this guy was always playing dirty.

"What, not going to Huo Yu Hao's grilled fish stall to stock up? I see you usually eat quite happily."

The two sat at the Gold Soul Coin window of the cafeteria, and Wang Dong, without the slightest bit of politeness, directly asked Su Yu to treat him.

"Tch, eating it every day, why not change it up today? You go start a fire and try it yourself." Wang Dong refused in words, but he kept the topic focused on Su Yu.

Su Yu took a big bite of meat from some unknown Soul Beast; one bite was practically comparable to his own cultivation. "Eating is eating, can't good food plug your mouth?"

Even a mosquito's leg is meat, after all; this Gold Soul Coin window is truly extraordinary.

Obviously, Wang Dong also knew the efficacy of the Gold Soul Coin window, but every time they ate, he would inevitably act like a rascal and make Su Yu treat him, calling it the reward for Wang Dong "covering" for him.

"What's wrong? With a handsome guy like me covering for you, what's the big deal about you treating me to a meal?" Wang Dong's little tsundere personality could make anything sound like a matter of course.

Su Yu: "..."

…………

When he saw Huo Yu Hao again, his aura had changed slightly; after exchanging greetings, he left this place.

Su Yu wanted to take this opportunity to go to a certain place, and since Wang Dong was idle anyway, he followed Su Yu along.

Before leaving, Su Yu went to Zhou Yi's office, saying he wanted to go see the Soul Guidance Department. Zhou Yi didn't beat around the bush, directly tossing a hexagonal silver Token to Su Yu and telling him to go to Gate Number Twelve of the testing area.

After wandering around the map for a long time, he still hadn't found the location of the Soul Guidance Department. Wang Dong, standing to the side, snatched the map from Su Yu's hand.

"Su Yu, you idiot, you can even go the wrong way with a map; you're holding the map upside down."

Damn it, my lifelong reputation...

Covering his face in resignation, he was led to the location of the Soul Guidance Department by a relentlessly mocking Wang Dong.

The gray building before them looked very heavy; it wasn't just built of brick and stone, as many parts of the surface had a metallic luster. Low, rumbling sounds constantly came from within the building, and Su Yu and Wang Dong could even feel the vibrations under their feet from time to time.

"Speaking of which, why are you coming to the Soul Guidance Department? Shouldn't you be going to the Martial Soul Department?" Wang Dong was a bit confused by Su Yu's actions; Su Yu's current strength was enough to occupy a place in the Martial Soul Department.

Looking at Wang Dong's confused expression, Su Yu reached out and tapped Wang Dong's forehead, saying, "Of course I plan to join the Soul Guidance Department in the future, otherwise why would I come here? To sponge a meal?"

Pulling Wang Dong along into the testing area of the Soul Guidance Department, the testing area was entirely of metal construction, full of a modern technological feel. Although the development of Soul Guidance in Dou II was still in its infancy, the future would be completely dominated by Soul Guidance Technology.

However, facts proved that whether it was the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan or the development policy of Shrek Academy, both had ignored the importance of Soul Guidance Technology.

Calculating the time, in Mingde Hall, the Number One Experimental Subject had already developed to the level of a Humanoid Soul Tool, though it was still in the testing stage. But what made people feel terrified was the Defense System of Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire; the Matrix Defense Soul Guidance was almost at the peak of the era's technology.

Yet, the world's perspective still remained on how Shrek Academy had once united the Three Great Empires to crush the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire, still believing that Soul Guidance could not dominate Soul Masters and could not dominate future development.

But in fact, the later Soul Guidance Armor legions swept through the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire; if not for Huo Gua stepping in, the Sun Moon Empire would have already unified the continent.

The subsequent development can be imagined; the reason Shrek could stand tall was that it must have used means to dismantle and swallow everything from Mingde Hall. Otherwise, if the future Shrek had still insisted on Soul Masters as the main body, it would have been impossible to develop to the powerful state of Dou III.

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit.

All history is written by the victors, after all. It is just a pity that an incomparably powerful empire ultimately met its end; the reason for this was that it threatened Shrek...

After entering the door, there was a long horizontal corridor that looked a bit like the dormitory area, but there was a door every thirty meters on one side, with words like "Testing Area Number One," "Testing Area Number Two," and so on written on them.

According to the description in the original work, Su Yu arrived at Gate Number Twelve and pressed the Token Zhou Yi had given him directly onto the door.

"Eh, how did you know how to open this door?" Wang Dong looked at the slowly opening door in a daze. He was curious how Su Yu could be so familiar with this place; besides, there wasn't even a keyhole on this door, so how did Su Yu know how to open it?

Su Yu rolled his eyes at Wang Dong and said, "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

"Fine, you actually dare to call me stupid!" Wang Dong raised his hand and knocked Su Yu on the head.

Su Yu looked at the slowly opening metal door and rolled his eyes, saying, "I can't be bothered to argue with a pig like you..."

After the door opened, the place was a world of its own; thick metal plates divided the area into various sections. It was like individual metal boxes, and inside these metal boxes was where everyone conducted their experiments.

Looking at this strange place, Wang Dong was somewhat inexplicably curious; those powder-blue eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge about new things.

Pulling Wang Dong into the largest area, this was an open space, about two thousand square meters in size, with a height of over ten meters. At the edge of the field, some people were holding Soul Guidance Devices and testing them.
