Chapter 44: The High-End Hunter

Finally, Wang Yan spoke about the class assessment, but Su Yu didn't really take it to heart.

Ever since he gained the Fragment Martial Soul, he had long since transcended the current level of soul power; with twenty-six levels of soul power, he could completely crush Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu if they didn't use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and hunting Century Soul Beasts was a piece of cake—frankly speaking, even Millennium Soul Beasts were no problem.

"Classmate Su Yu, where are you planning to go? I remember you still owe me one barbecue meal every day," Wang Dong said with a sly smile, watching Su Yu, who was preparing to slip away after class.

Su Yu glanced at Wang Dong and said expressionlessly, "That's just your wishful thinking. I never agreed to that. Eating for free every day? Sorry, I can't afford to serve you. Goodbye..."

As soon as the words fell, Su Yu released his Fragment Martial Soul without a second word, activated Mirror Image Transfer, and vanished from Wang Dong's sight in the blink of an eye.

Tch, you little thing, only what you can't get is attractive.

High-end hunters often appear in the guise of prey...

To catch, one must first let go; if one is too proactive in everything, Wang Dong might even look down on it.

The weakness of human nature is just like this, actually...

It wasn't until evening that Su Yu returned to the dormitory from the Soul Guidance Department, and the moment Su Yu entered, Wang Dong grabbed him with lightning speed.

"Why aren't you running now? What were you running for?" A soft skill similar to Waist Bow locked Su Yu to the ground, but in the next second, the locked Su Yu instantly turned into a cloud of black mist and dissipated.

"Idiot, idiot, big idiot!"

Wang Dong stomped his feet in anger; he hadn't expected to be fooled by Su Yu's Second Soul Skill. Just as Wang Dong was sitting on the bed, hugging his knees in disappointment, Su Yu slowly appeared before him.

"Classmate Wang Dong, tomorrow is the start of the holiday. In view of your excellent performance this semester, this Vice Class Monitor has decided to grant you one wish. Hurry up and make it."

Patting Wang Dong on the shoulder, Su Yu said with a straight face.

Looking at Su Yu's serious expression, a flash of light appeared in Wang Dong's large, powder-blue eyes, and then he pulled Su Yu and ran toward the shore of Sea God Lake.

"I want to eat barbecue!"

Looking at Wang Dong, who had everything prepared, Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "If this counts as a wish, then this wish is gone."

Hearing Su Yu's words, Wang Dong said quite decisively, "This doesn't count! This is what you promised me, it doesn't count!"

After all, it was the last day. In fact, Su Yu didn't want to stay here at Shrek for too long in the future, so he would just treat it as cherishing this little bit of time.

Aside from the future Golden Radiance Right Arm Bone from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the benefits of the Shrek Ultimate Soldier Project, Su Yu really didn't have much attachment to Shrek, other than Wang Dong.

Looking at Wang Dong sitting beside him, Su Yu leaned gently against Wang Dong, "Wang Dong, from now on, when I'm not around, remember to take care of yourself."

"Mm, I will, I definitely will. How about I take you to my home to play during the holidays later?"

Wang Dong didn't sense any other meaning in Su Yu's words at all, just treating them as parting words before the holiday.

Lying under the blue sky and white clouds, reaching out toward the sky, what he finally met was Wang Dong's soft, boneless palm.

"What are you thinking about, so distracted? I need you to sacrifice a little tonight; Brother allows you to cultivate with me."

Wang Dong pulled Su Yu up from the ground and dragged him all the way back to the dormitory...

Su Yu circulated the Mysterious Heaven Technique to help Wang Dong clear his meridians. Wang Dong's Mysterious Heaven Technique hadn't made much progress; anyway, it was just a cultivation technique for the early stages, and it wasn't necessarily useful in the later stages, but it could still be of some use at this current stage.

After finishing the clearing, Su Yu felt so tired he was about to fall apart. Now he knew why that certain Bei who used to fish illegally with electricity was so miserable; helping others is truly exhausting!

Su Yu struggled back to his own bed and fell asleep in a daze.

Watching the soundly sleeping Su Yu, Wang Dong blinked his large, powder-blue eyes, looking at Su Yu with some curiosity.

"Sigh, I really don't know how you cultivate. In one year, you went from level fifteen to level twenty-six. You really are a strange person."

"Actually, sometimes you are quite likable, but why are you always so silly?"

…………

No one noticed that Wang Dong's voice was purely a girl's voice at this moment, and even Su Yu was still dreaming of meeting the God of Dreams.

In the end, having tasted the sweetness, Wang Dong quietly picked up Su Yu and quite unceremoniously pushed him down again. However, Su Yu woke up in a fright the moment Wang Dong touched him; in fact, it was mainly because he was afraid of death, otherwise he wouldn't have woken up.

Wang Dong liked the feeling of that day very much; it seemed he had no worries and felt very comfortable...

High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey. You think I, Su, am afraid of death? That's right, I am afraid of death, but I never said I would actively seek it.

The fish took the bait on its own, so you can't blame me, Su. Someone in the God Realm, I'm sorry.

Lying on his side, squeezed onto the same bed as Wang Dong, they spent the night quietly like this.

When Wang Dong woke up from his sleep, the sun was already high in the sky. He didn't know why, but he had slept exceptionally comfortably last night.

Stretching his waist unreservedly on the bed, that kind of lazy comfort was truly wonderful.

How he wanted to sleep a little longer!

Anyway, it was a holiday today, and there were no classes.

Wait! What time is it now? It's the holiday!

Wang Dong sprang up from the bed. On the chair by Wang Dong's bed sat a bowl of barbecue that had long since gone cold, with a piece of white paper pressed under the bowl.

Wang Dong grabbed the white paper eagerly; a few sentences were written on it.

I'm leaving. Remember to take care of yourself. Recently, the price of pork on the Douluo Continent has gone up, and I'm worried you'll be kidnapped. Also, no crying; I'll be back anyway.

"Su Yu, you jerk, you big jerk!" Wang Dong pushed the door open abruptly and rushed downstairs frantically, but he could no longer find Su Yu's figure.

Wang Dong leaned powerlessly against the wall downstairs, burying his head in his knees, his body trembling slightly.

After a long while, Wang Dong slowly stood up. On that handsome face were tiny, crystalline tear stains, and his large, powder-blue eyes were slightly red.

He cried; in the end, he couldn't bear the sorrow of parting.

Although he had long known this scene would happen, he still couldn't help but feel the pain.

"Su Yu, you remember this: you still owe me a wish. Even if you kill me, you are not allowed to go back on your word!"

After saying this, Wang Dong turned around, went back to the dormitory to pack his things, and left Shrek Academy without looking back.

However, as the wind blew Wang Dong's clothes, there was a tiny, faint red mark on Wang Dong's neck...

Inadvertently, as Wang Dong used his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, he discovered a small pig head on his palm.

Su Yu, who was already on his way home, touched his lips with great satisfaction, his face full of a triumphant smile.

"It's time to go home and have a look, but I wonder, how much change can I have in this one month?"

Su Yu actually had a bold idea. Ever since his Fragment Martial Soul swallowed two soul bones last time, he had been speculating that if his idea was correct, this martial soul could completely devour soul rings, perhaps even directly absorbing them instead of just attaching them!

If feasible, then he would have the possibility of relying on his Second Martial Soul to walk a brand-new path, no longer relying on the restrictions of Soul Rings, and shaking off the shackles of having to obtain a Soul Ring at every level!

Anyway, the family has money, so spend it like there's no tomorrow!

At this moment, Huo Yu Hao has already gone down the path of his second cheat, never to return...

For this thirty-day vacation, Su Yu decided to take a trip to the Sun Moon Empire, and it would be best to join Mingde Hall under a brand-new identity!

What he hoped for was to remain hidden forever; Su Yu did not want to participate in the future Soul Master Tournament, so he pushed Xiao Xiao toward Wang Dong and Huo Yu Hao and the others; if nothing unexpected happened, everything should return to the right track, except that the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan would be temporarily shelved due to his disappearance.

During these four days, Su Yu experimented at home with over a dozen hundred-year Soul Beasts; the Mirror fragment martial soul was indeed as he had guessed, absorbing all the Soul Rings, but it did not bring Su Yu any increase in soul power.

Why is there no soul power feedback for me? What exactly is this fragment?

Logically speaking, Su Yu's own innate soul power was only Level 5, not full level, nor was he Qian Renxue, who had the incredibly powerful innate Level 20 soul power from Dou I.

After thinking carefully, Su Yu discovered a detail: it seemed he himself did not even know what kind of mirror his martial soul was.

Although he was somewhat bewildered, after absorbing over a dozen Soul Beasts, his fragment martial soul seemed to have become more powerful; whether it was attack power or the speed at which Su Yu could control it, both had improved, and even Su Yu's own body and Spirit Power had received feedback, although this feedback was not considered too strong.

But Su Yu was already happy to the point of insanity; what did this indicate?

This indicated that as long as there were infinite Soul Beasts for him to absorb, Su Yu could grow infinitely stronger until Soul Rings and soul bones could no longer provide him with any amplification! However, once he reached that point, even a God would not be able to shake Su Yu in the slightest!

"God King? Hmph, what I want, no one can stop me from getting; as long as I hide well enough, you will have no way to come and stifle me!"

Looking at the statue of Tang San in Heaven Dou City, a trace of a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Su Yu's mouth.

Everyone calls you heroes, but in fact, looking at the Douluo Continent, the perspective you stand from is always just that of the nobility; what of the Tang Sect? In terms of the system, it has ultimately declined.

All of this is cause and effect.

Whether it is the Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire, none of this can change the fact that you are merely writing history from the perspective of a victor.

If the Spirit Hall had won back then, I think this world would definitely not be as it is today, firmly controlled in the hands of the nobility, and Shrek would have ultimately become the evil dragon!
