Chapter 67

In an instant, after sending Moke flying with a single glance, countless fragments appeared out of thin air in the next moment, shooting toward the four people opposite.

Ding ding ding...

For a moment, the four had no time to counterattack, being suppressed by Su Yu's fragment martial soul; they also tried to retaliate, but before they could even condense soul guidance rays or fully assemble soul guidance turrets, they were interrupted by the dense, sharp fragments.

The dense fragments surrounded the four; although the fragments' attack power was limited, they still made the soul guidance shields tremble slightly, and their soul power was being rapidly drained.

However, as an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master, Tang Suifeng's sharp eyes caught a flash of white light—"Quick—"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yu had already pressed a finger against his throat; gazing at Su Yu's alluring smile opposite him, Tang Suifeng only felt a chill down his back—how could this guy appear and disappear so mysteriously? Fortunately, it was just a finger; if it were soul guidance, I would...

The soul guidance shield's defensive capability is indeed quite good, still quite effective against soul power attacks, but against physical attacks it is extremely limited.

"Tang Suifeng, eliminated!" the assessment teacher's voice rang out, and only then did everyone notice Su Yu's figure.

But in the next instant, Su Yu's second soul ring lit up on his body, a surge of black mist rose around him, concealing his figure within the black mist.

"Attack the black mist, don't let his soul skill affect you!" Ye Canying shouted loudly; finally having a chance to catch their breath, the remaining three aimed their soul guidance devices at the black mist.

The soul guidance devices they were equipped with were all second-level soul guidance devices, soul light rays—only standard issue, unlike Su Yu, who was so wealthy he could be seen carrying two soul guidance cannons with astonishing calibers.

The range of such soul guidance rays can reach about a hundred meters, their destructive power equivalent to a long-range soul skill of an ordinary great soul master; a dozen or so rays fired in unison, if not counting the soul guidance devices, a direct hit on Su Yu would likely injure him, but not fatally.

The area covered by the black mist was instantly submerged; even if Su Yu's position could not be determined, they still had to lock down all possible directions of his movement.

But in the next instant, the black mist dissipated, and on the competition field appeared two identical Su Yus, each shouldering two soul guidance cannons with astonishing calibers on their respective shoulders.

The movements of those two figures were practically mirror images, completely indistinguishable as real or fake; at this moment, their distance from Su Yu was only over twenty meters.

With a tap of the foot, the two Su Yus continuously borrowed force from the floating fragments in midair, treading the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track; the three people's scattered rays were completely ineffective against Su Yu, not even touching a single hair.

As Su Yu's figure drew ever closer, the three attacked in unison; Zifeng quickly set up his soul guidance device, aiming at Su Yu's movements—once Su Yu launched an attack, his soul guidance ray would inevitably strike first.

At this moment, Ling Xue suddenly retreated, large snowflakes appearing on her body; as more and more snowflakes emerged, Su Yu's vision was obstructed, gradually making it impossible for him to see the three's positions clearly in his field of view.

Ye Canying's figure shifted, and three identical figures appeared beside him—his martial soul was shadow.

Faced with the three's all-out defense, Su Yu had no intention of clashing head-on; since this was the Soul Guidance Department, I'll just properly compare soul guidance devices with you.

In the next instant, a dazzling light cluster exploded beside them; as they activated their soul guidance shields to resist, another exploded beside them.

Four soul guidance cannonblasts detonated in succession beside them, instantly consuming over half of their soul power; whether in firepower or combat strength, they were completely and utterly suppressed by Su Yu alone.

What made them feel most agonized was that the Su Yu opposite them actually possessed four third-level soul guidance cannons—let alone engaging in combat, even if the opposing side didn't want to wear them down through attrition, just those four soul guidance cannons alone could knock them flat.

Originally, Su Yu still had a third-level soul guidance propulsion device and flyer given to him by Ju Zi, but to avoid arousing Fan Yu's suspicion, he did not use them, only taking out the four soul guidance cannons he had improved during his time in the Sun Moon Empire.

Having become a soul guidance engineer for less than a year, Su Yu's learning relied entirely on vast quantities of materials and the accumulation of replicated soul skills, which earned him his third-level soul guidance engineer status; the hardship involved was not merely simple replication.

Just as the three were being completely suppressed, the two Su Yus simultaneously appeared in the middle of the three; what frightened Ling Xue most was that the short sword formed of fragments in Su Yu's hand had already pierced her soul guidance shield and was pressed against her neck.

Ye Canying also sensed something wrong; just as he prepared to flee, he was immobilized by the dense fragments sealing his movements, while the remaining Zifeng was likewise lifted by another Su Yu wielding a heavy sword that split his soul guidance shield, frightening Zifeng into sitting directly on his buttocks on the ground.

"Sorry, you lost."

Ultimately, the fragments formed a storm that directly shattered Ye Canying's soul guidance cannon barrel; if not for Su Yu holding back, Ye Canying would also have been torn to pieces.

For this match, the Soul Guidance Department's academy was throughout in a state of bewilderment, even some students' eyes began to sparkle with tiny stars.

"You damn well tell me this is the combat power a second-year student can produce? A great soul master's cultivation, paired with a third-level energy-gathering soul guidance cannon, and this record of defeating five opponents single-handedly!"

The entire process had not the slightest flaw; even the execution of moves could perfectly control force, resulting in not a single injury among the five—this kind of total victory, in their view, was simply impossible to achieve!

"Sorry, seniors, I destroyed your soul guidance devices; I will compensate you with a brand-new set."

Helping up the three who had fallen to sit on the ground, only then did everyone come back to their senses.

Gazing at the victorious Su Yu returning, Fan Yu was practically beside himself with excitement; he had let Su Yu face five opponents alone merely on a whim, originally just wanting to see what kind of strength Su Yu truly possessed.

But the result was astonishingly surprising, even reaching the degree of delight!

"You guy are simply the savior of our Soul Guidance Department! I've never seen such a splendid fusion of martial soul and soul guidance; congratulations, your assessment has passed."

Though Su Yu appeared harmless to humans and beasts alike, when he struck, he showed no mercy whatsoever; if these guys had even a bit of understanding of Su Yu, they wouldn't dare to underestimate him lightly—know that back when Su Yu was at rank twenty-four, he single-handedly took on Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin.

What's more, among these five people, four were second-ring, only one was third-ring Ye Canying; yet just then, a familiar voice came from the corner: "Vice Class Monitor, so it really is you?"

Following the gaze, everyone made way for the slender-built student—Song Qinghan?

"Are you Song Qinghan?" Gazing at the slender youth before him, Su Yu instantly recalled that thin, small fellow who always sat in the corner, whom Zhou Yi had casually shoved into the Soul Guidance Department back then, and then this buddy just... disappeared...

"Great, Vice Class Monitor, you still remember me!" Song Qinghan looked at Su Yu with a face full of admiration, his eyes brimming with tiny stars.

"How's your studies? As a member of our Class One, let me see your learning achievements." Facing this slender, shy youth before him, Song Qinghan was still somewhat bashful, even blushing slightly when speaking to Su Yu.

Only then did Song Qinghan gather courage, pointing to the badge on his chest, and said: "Vice Class Monitor, I am now a first-level soul guidance engineer; in a year's time, I will surely become a second-level soul guidance engineer!"

"Remember to keep working hard; if you have any questions later, feel free to come ask me—after all, we are classmates, once were, still are, got it?" Song Qinghan is still quite decent, just a bit shy by nature.

At this moment, Fan Yu's voice came through: "I've already seen your assessment just now; considering Su Yu is a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department, plus being the champion of the first-year new student assessment tournament, so although you five lost, your loss is not unjust; I will give you another assessment opportunity later."

What? This junior is still the champion of the new student tournament, and also a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department?

Upon hearing "core disciple of the Martial Soul Department," the students were already astonished enough by that identity alone; worst of all, this kid actually is also the champion of the new student tournament!

As soon as the words left his mouth, the students all bowed in salute; jealousy existed, but admiration was even greater; setting aside Su Yu's identity, just that earlier feat of defeating five opponents single-handedly without a single hair harmed—even He Caitou wouldn't dare to be so certain about achieving such an easy victory.

Actually, in that earlier battle, Su Yu didn't feel any pressure, but he discovered that if soul guidance engineers cannot create distance, they are fundamentally in a completely passive state of being beaten; this also explains why they lost so cleanly.

Speaking of close combat, even Jue Chen, who had reached the four-ring level, could only suppress Su Yu; these two-ring fellows, if they weren't beaten to death, could consider themselves lucky.

Actually, Su Yu has been hiding something from Fan Yu; Fan Yu has always thought he was merely a second-level soul guidance engineer, but in fact, he is already a third-level soul guidance engineer, and one taught by Xuan Ziwen; at the foundation level, he is vastly stronger than other third-level soul guidance engineers.

After studying with Fan Yu for an afternoon, Su Yu casually helped Cai Tou purchase a batch of rare metals for his study and research; although the Soul Guidance Department also supplies rare metals, it is not unlimited; anyway, it's just a few thousand gold soul coins—Su Yu couldn't care less.

However, this time his goal is very simple: he wants to obtain the right arm bone of the Golden Radiance at the Treasure Appraisal Meeting—for 9,600,000 gold soul coins!

Although this is a huge sum, Su Yu doesn't care; for his father, Su Yu's old man, it's merely the income from one or two years of a part of his business, not the income from all his businesses; Su Yu won't lack other things, but money and power—Su Yu absolutely does not lack!

Even if he merely wishes for it, even to a certain extent, his family can obtain a noble title.

Before returning home, Su Yu personally prepared a materials list several meters long for his old man, repeatedly urging and instructing him to stockpile large quantities of these items, even saying these are essential for Su Yu's future development.

The two elders immediately nodded, listed this as top priority, and then Su Yu returned to Shrek Academy carrying a large sum of gold soul coins on his card.

Upon returning to the dormitory, sure enough, in Wang Dong's hand he saw that gilded red paper.

"Have you also passed your Soul Guidance Department's upgrade assessment?" Wang Dong excitedly played with the invitation in his hand.

Looking at Wang Dong's excited appearance, Su Yu also guessed why this curious treasure was excited to this extent, "One against five, you say did I pass or not?"

Wang Dong hehe smiled, with a playful expression he said: "No need to say, you bastard definitely didn't pass."

"Can't you hope for something good, after all I am also a Level 3 Soul Engineer. Just those four Second Ring, one Three-Ring Level 2 Soul Engineer, if they could beat me, I might as well find tofu to kill myself." Saying this, he took over the invitation from Wang Dong's hand.

"Huh? Treasure Appraisal Meeting, let's go together to have a look, if you see something you like, brother will buy it for you." Casually touching Wang Dong's hair, not to say this feel is still quite good.

"Stop bragging, do you know what a Treasure Appraisal Meeting is?" Saying this, Wang Dong began to popularize the knowledge of Treasure Appraisal Meeting to Su Yu.

"The Treasure Appraisal Meeting mainly divides into three types, the first type is the one held for our academy, organized by the academy for purchasing, for example the various rare metals your Soul Guidance Department needs, some teaching supplies of the Martial Soul Department, and the foodstuffs purchased by the academy, etc., anyway this kind of Treasure Appraisal Meeting basically won't have too many good things."

"The other two types of Treasure Appraisal Meeting are aimed at our students, one of them is aimed at the Inner Court students, those are all premium items, but only Inner Court students can participate, we don't have that qualification, so we can only participate in the Treasure Appraisal Meeting for Outer Court Core Disciples written on this invitation."

Grabbing Wang Dong's hand and pulling him up, directly walking towards the place of the Treasure Appraisal Meeting, "Want to go then go, what are you hesitating for, afraid I won't accompany you, let's go."

Bringing Wang Dong to the entrance of the Treasure Appraisal Meeting, time had already passed a little less than half an hour, if it weren't for the flight ban in Shrek City, Su Yu would have flown directly there.

Shrek City covers a large area, as one of the most prosperous cities in the central part of the Douluo Continent, the evening Shrek City is the most bustling, the noisy level of the crowded streets is in no way inferior to that of the Star Luo Imperial Capital, Su Yu, who is used to big scenes, finds this nothing out of the ordinary.

This Ju Bao Ge itself is a large store, operating various items related to Soul Masters and Soul Engineers. From a distance, Ju Bao Ge is a building with four floors, reaching over twenty meters in height, the building itself occupies considerable land, the exterior is resplendent with gold and jade brilliance, just like a treasure basin.

Such luxurious architecture has already exceeded the range of Huo Yuhao's experience, when he saw the four long-skirted girls standing on both sides of the entrance of Ju Bao Ge, his gaze was calm and clear, knowing that Su Yu's family has many such servants, having seen them since childhood, he truly feels nothing.

Knowing that the truly beautiful ones are right beside you, why bother looking at these girls you've already grown tired of?

These obviously receptionist long-skirted girls appear to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with sweet appearances and slender figures. The lower body is covered by long skirts making it unclear, but the upper body exposes the shoulders, the chest tightly wrapped in a round shape, revealing an obvious cleavage. The fair skin, under the reflection of Ju Bao Ge's resplendent gold and jade architecture, appears even more graceful and charming.

"Let's go, see what, Wang Dong you haven't seen girls before?" Saying this, Su Yu reversed the guest-host relationship, directly pulling Wang Dong inside, you think I am a youth, no, in fact I will always be a youth until death.

Leading Wang Dong to continue walking inside, before they even reached the front of Ju Bao Ge's door, among the eight girls at the entrance, one had already come out to greet them, with a light smile, arriving beside the two and standing still, respectfully saying: "Are the two Soul Masters here to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Meeting?"

Su Yu also didn't intend to waste words, directly handing over the invitation, after all he didn't want any mishap, if the custom-made soul bone for Wang Dong were lost, it would be disastrous.
