Chapter 32: The Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department
"Number five." Du Weilun took the lot drawn by Su Yu, and the expressions of one of the teams that had finished drawing lots instantly turned incredibly ugly.
"Yeah, this time it's students from Freshman Class Four; thank goodness there are no Soul Elders." Looking at the team with the incredibly ugly expressions opposite them, Wang Dong patted Su Yu on the shoulder with great relief.
Watching Wang Dong's relieved appearance, Su Yu also understood that Huo Yu Hao must not be allowed to draw lots next time, otherwise he would definitely send them straight to Dai Huabin's group.
If they were to run into Dai Huabin now, that would be even more of a "surprise" than walking down the street and suddenly being struck dead by a bolt of lightning from a clear sky.
If Su Yu could really encounter a situation where he drew a team with a Soul Elder three times in a row, he could probably win over every casino in Shrek City...
"My luck isn't that bad, is it..." Huo Yu Hao looked at the suspicious gazes of Su Yu and Wang Dong, his confidence growing weaker and weaker.
Both sides confronted each other in the Assessment Area and exchanged names. This time the opponents were not the Freshman Class Nine from the original story, but Freshman Class Four; looking at the three twenty-third-level Great Soul Masters opposite them.
For some reason, the gazes Su Yu and Wang Dong directed at them instantly became somewhat manic.
"One Control System, one Assault System, one Defense System. This composition is actually quite good. If you aren't going to play the Control System, how about letting me practice my hands on the Assault and Defense types?" Wang Dong nudged Su Yu with his elbow; with his competitive nature, not taking on all three would be considered restrained.
"Leave the Control System and Defense System to me; you go deal with that Assault System one."
The coordination between Su Yu and Wang Dong had always been incredibly tacit; in fact, this tacit understanding was less about long-term grinding and more about the feelings developed from the two of them fighting in the dormitory...
"Fine, fine."
Both sides released their martial souls simultaneously. Wang Dong, as an Assault System Battle Soul Master, charged directly at the opponent's Assault System member, and without a word, immediately deployed his Wing Blade to choose a head-on collision.
Meanwhile, Su Yu very easily released his Mirror Martial Soul and Fragment Martial Soul.
For the opponent's Defense System Soul Master and Control System Soul Master, encountering Su Yu was simply a form of torture.
Those mirror fragments completely separated the two's movements. Su Yu's Fragment Martial Soul seemed to have no soul skills, yet it also seemed to be all soul skills; with a single thought, they would shift according to Su Yu's will.
The mirror fragments were incredibly sharp, simply like individual sharp Hidden Weapons, easily breaking through the opponent's Control System Soul Master's defense and directly knocking him flying. If Su Yu hadn't held back, he could guarantee the opponent's body would look like a torn sack right now.
The opponent's Defense System member didn't fare any better. Under the support of Huo Yu Hao's "cheat," the opponent's weaknesses and movement trajectories didn't require Su Yu to think at all; he just had to aim and strike.
In the end, the opponent's Defense System Soul Master didn't hold on for long before being kicked off by Su Yu without the slightest bit of politeness.
As for the Assault System member on the other side, there was no need to mention him. Wang Dong didn't even release his Second Soul Skill; in over a dozen head-on exchanges, the opponent was forced to surrender because he couldn't withstand Wang Dong's aggressive attacks.
In this battle, Su Yu had instead become the main force. Wang Dong hadn't expected this battle to be so easy, and he was also a bit curious as to why Su Yu's strength had suddenly become so powerful.
In Wang Dong's memory, Su Yu's martial soul was only a mirror, but these fragments clearly also seemed to be his martial soul. However, Wang Dong clearly remembered that Su Yu's innate soul power was only level five; it was almost impossible for someone with level five innate soul power to be born with Twin Martial Souls.
This match was won exceptionally easily. Su Yu didn't think much of it, but Du Weilun and Zhou Yi had different plans, and even Fan Yu was prepared to snatch the student.
Du Weilun looked at Wang Dong and Su Yu walking away with their arms around each other's shoulders below the stage and said, "Teacher Zhou, these three students of yours are all very good, especially Su Yu and Wang Dong. They are qualified to become Core Disciples of the Martial Soul Department."
Upon hearing that Huo Yu Hao wasn't mentioned, Zhou Yi became a bit nervous and hurriedly asked, "Director Du, what about Huo Yu Hao? His support ability is also extremely rare, isn't it?"
Du Weilun shook his head and said, "Huo Yu Hao's support ability is indeed capable, but his First Spirit Ring is ultimately only ten years old. Furthermore, his ability can only be support, and there is too much uncertainty in his future development. Have you considered whether he can truly go further than Wang Dong and Su Yu with his aptitude?"
In fact, the competition at Shrek Academy was very intense. Every leader would not gamble on that sliver of hope, as the situation currently displayed was exactly as it was. For Du Weilun, he had simply made an objective judgment based on all the data currently available.
Du Weilun left. Watching Zhou Yi's disappointed expression, Fan Yu said, "It's fine, at worst I'll just take another one into the Soul Guidance Department."
"Hm? Take another one? Could it be..." Hearing Fan Yu's words, Zhou Yi was a bit confused; she didn't know who else Fan Yu had taken in.
"It's your student Su Yu. Yesterday he took your Token and found me, saying he wanted to join the Soul Guidance Department. At first, I didn't want to take him, and I even gave him an extremely strict test, but that kid actually passed it and said he wanted to join the Soul Guidance Department to study next semester."
Fan Yu smiled slightly; he also hadn't expected that Su Yu would possess such remarkable talent in the cultivation of martial souls as well.
Upon hearing Fan Yu's words, Zhou Yi became a bit anxious, "No, not now. Since Su Yu's martial soul talent qualifies him to be a Core Disciple, if he goes to the Soul Guidance Department to cultivate, wouldn't that be a waste of his great aptitude? But Huo Yu Hao is different; he is a Special Admission Student recommended by the Tang Sect. Although his start was very late, this..."
What followed was a whole heap of praise. If Su Yu were here, he would definitely complain about Zhou Yi: they are both students, why must you be so partial to Huo Yu Hao? Oh heavens, oh earth, is there no justice left!
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Fan Yu smiled slightly, "I can see you are very fond of this child Huo Yu Hao, but I actually think more highly of Su Yu. Since you have your own arrangements, I won't force it. If Huo Yu Hao doesn't become a Core Disciple of the Martial Soul Department, I will take him as a Core Disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. As for Su Yu, leave it to him to choose..."
Zhou Yi nodded, "If the Martial Soul Department is unwilling to take Huo Yu Hao as a Core Disciple, they will definitely regret it when the time comes!"
Fan Yu looked at Zhou Yi's persistent appearance, smiled calmly, and said, "Then let me wait and see."
Nonsense, Huo Gua's Second Martial Soul was about to arrive, and that was Extreme Ice. If they didn't regret it even then, one could only say their brains had been kicked by a donkey.
However, Su Yu knew that he would not go to the Martial Soul Department in the future, and he would definitely be the only one to carry out the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan.
