Chapter 78: Stubbornness Leads to Illness

"Wang Dong, to be honest, I can't explain this clearly either, especially since Su Yu's situation is very unique. After all, it involves the Spirit Sea, which is a very thorny issue for any Soul Master, so for now, we can only wait." Wang Yan's words left Wang Dong completely silent.

Even Xuan Lao had asserted back then that external forces could not help with Su Yu's injuries, and now he could only rely on himself to recover slowly; if external forces were to forcibly intervene, it would be highly likely to cause Su Yu's Spirit Sea to collapse.

However, what they did not know was that Su had already fully recovered as before, and even had a slight increase in Spirit Power. It was just that the current situation was still favorable, and it was not yet time for Su to make a move.

Today's match held no value whatsoever; the only thing of value, I fear, was that arrogant little princess. If the Star Luo Empire could truly cause a crisis for Su Yu's family, Su Yu would not have been so bold as to be disrespectful to the Emperor.

Every step Su took was a gamble. From Shrek Academy to the Sun Moon Empire, every step was taken with the utmost caution. Once he made any out-of-place or abnormal move, he could fall into the abyss at any moment.

One wrong step, and the whole game is lost; Su Yu could not afford to gamble.

But things were different now. In Shrek, he was already a dual-core disciple, having replaced Huo Yuhao's position, and was even a substitute member of the Reserve Team; it was already very difficult for the outside world to threaten him.

What he lacked now was time!

Only by giving him enough time to grow could he become stronger, rather than being snuffed out while still in the bud. That tragic fate of dying before achieving one's ambition—Su had no desire to experience that...

After Xu Sanshi finished off the three opponents on the other side in his usual flashy manner, today's Shrek match was declared over. After returning to the hotel, the group gathered on the roof to watch the matches on the field.

"Ah, a ghost~~" Xiao Xiao, holding the Soul Guidance Telescope, was so startled that her little hand shook, and the Soul Guidance Telescope in her hand nearly fell.

In Xiao Xiao's Soul Guidance Telescope, a blurry figure was flying rapidly toward her. When that figure vanished, a palm appeared on Xiao Xiao's shoulder without any warning.

"Hmm, Xiao Xiao, what happened?"

He Cai Tou put down the Soul Guidance Device in his hand and subconsciously looked in the direction where Xiao Xiao was.

"Has everyone's matches been going smoothly these past few days?"

A familiar voice made everyone put down the Soul Guidance Devices in their hands. When they saw clearly who had arrived, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Su Yu..."

"Vice Class Monitor..."

"Little Junior Brother!"

…………

"Are your injuries okay? Aren't you not supposed to use soul power? How are you still..." Wang Dong was Wang Dong; he stepped forward to support Su Yu and questioned him.

"After these few days of rest and treatment, my injuries have improved somewhat. Now I can also take the field. If I'm needed, I will go up." Since I've recovered, why would I still be slacking off?

Looking at Su Yu's energetic appearance, everyone was still somewhat skeptical. At this moment, He Cai Tou spoke up: "Are you sure your injuries are fine?"

"I'm fine. Look, aren't I flying just fine right now?" As he spoke, Su Yu even patted his own chest to signal that he was mostly better.

After some casual chatting, the group began their official spectator journey. Actually, calling it spectating was more like Huo providing a hotspot for everyone to share.

Yu Hao's eyesight was astonishing; his own martial soul was eyes, and he had been cultivating the Purple Demon Eye. Since Bei Bei could see the general situation on the competition stage through the Purple Demon Eye, he could naturally see it even more clearly.

Without the assistance of this Soul Guidance Telescope, for him, seeing the situation several kilometers away in good weather would only cost a little more soul power.

While watching the direction of the competition stage, Huo Yuhao released his Spirit Sharing. Spirit Sharing could be used for more than just Spirit Detection; it could be used at any time.

For instance, right now, Huo Yuhao was providing what he saw to his partners through Spirit Sharing. The four soul skills bestowed upon him by Tian Meng seemed not very strong at first glance, but each one had infinite wonderful uses.

When they saw that there were actually two Soul Kings on the field, everyone's mood dampened. Among their current group, the one with the highest soul power was Xu Sanshi, a level 43 Defense System Battle Soul Ancestor.

As they chatted, the focus of the conversation turned to Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei. This pair of twin stars were simply the type to trick people to death without mercy. Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei were the designated Shrek Seven Devils, and furthermore, they were both hiding their strength; fighting someone a rank higher was absolutely no problem for them.

Especially when Xu Sanshi looked deeply at Bei Bei and said: "If you want to do it, I'll accompany you."

After that, in Su's mind, a knot was tied tight...

Are you sure these two are still brothers? Even when fighting, they only display their strongest power when cooperating. Are you sure you two didn't marry wives just to cover up your affair?

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became. Because there were eight people this time, and even an extra substitute like Su Yu, there were more diverse choices in terms of strategic selection.

Currently, with the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy deployed by Bei Bei, Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan were in one group, Xu Sanshi and He Cai Tou in another, and Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao in the third.

If Su Yu could take the field, in the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy, Su Yu would be in a group with He Cai Tou, and Xiao Xiao would be swapped out in the three-person battle.

After the deployment was finished, Wang Yan also returned. Although he said with his mouth to let everyone not worry, Su Yu had a sentence he had been holding in his heart for who knows how long.

Wang Yan, you have set up so many flags with your craziness; your whole body is practically covered in them. I reckon even opera singers couldn't compare to you!

At night, Wang Yan still took them to an auction. Huo Yuhao was like a rural child entering the city, maintaining curiosity about everything. For this, the kind-hearted Bei Bei tirelessly answered his questions.

Wang Yan's logic was actually very simple: to let them understand the trend of Soul Guidance development, and he even talked about the injuries of the Inner Court Seven Monsters.

"There are seven members in the main team, all with cultivation levels above Soul King. This means they can at least equip level 5 or even level 6 Soul Guidance Devices. Let's take an extreme example: what if every piece of Soul Guidance Device on their bodies was defensive in nature? After all, among them, everyone's combat power is already strong enough; what they need more is to defend themselves. He Cai Tou, Su Yu, you are both top students of the Soul Guidance Department and disciples of Fan Yu. Tell everyone, in that Corpse Explosion, if they had defensive Soul Guidance Devices on them, would the outcome have changed?"

When the group found a good seat and sat down, Wang Yan asked He Cai Tou and Su Yu.

After glancing at Su Yu, Su Yu signaled to He Cai Tou, and only then did He Cai Tou speak: "It would definitely be different. I can be certain that that Corpse Explosion could not have broken through a pure level 6 Defensive Soul Guidance Device. And a level 5 Defensive Soul Guidance Device could at least ensure they wouldn't be maimed, and their injuries would be reduced by at least 60 percent."

"Su Yu, tell us your opinion." After hearing He Cai Tou's answer, Wang Yan turned to ask Su Yu.

"Before that Corpse Explosion, I had handed two level 5 Defensive Soul Guidance Devices to Senior Yao Haoxuan and Senior Chen Zifeng. Facts proved that my conjecture was correct. Although that Corpse Explosion erupted very suddenly, at least the injuries of Senior Yao Haoxuan and Senior Chen Zifeng were not that serious, so I agree with Brother He's point of view."

Speaking of Soul Guidance Devices, he still remembered to this day that when Xuan Lao brought them out, Su Yu had specifically confirmed whether these two guys still had all their limbs and their lives.

"I have already learned about this from the Academy. This time, I really thank you. If it weren't for the two level 5 Defensive Soul Guidance Devices you gave them, Yao Haoxuan would very likely have had half his body blown off by the Corpse Explosion, and Chen Zifeng's leg might have been lost as a result. Student Su Yu, this time it is the Academy that should thank you."

Wang Yan's words stunned everyone present. If it weren't for Su Yu, the group wouldn't have known that such a thing had actually happened during the last Corpse Explosion.

Although the Corpse Explosion had already occurred, because of Su Yu's actions, it had undoubtedly reduced the casualties to the lowest point.

Wang Yan was somewhat touched. Among these people, each one was Shrek's most precious genius. Among them, Su Yu had always made him feel at ease, whether it was his performance in class back then or later in the Shrek Supervisory Team.

Wang Yan had actually always wanted to know why Su Yu, clearly possessing sufficient strength and aptitude, always chose to stay behind the scenes on certain matters.

"Actually, Teacher Wang Yan's words are correct. With the development of time, more and more Soul Master academies have begun to embark on a path of combining Soul Engineers and Soul Masters. When you think that using Soul Guidance Devices is abandoning being a Soul Master, that is actually when you are out of touch with the era. The development of Soul Guidance Devices is obvious to all. The Sun Moon Empire of the past is a living example. Thousands of years have passed; if you, or the Academy, still haven't realized this problem, then I have nothing to say."

All Su felt was sorrow, just like the Tang Sect that was set in its ways back then, just like the Shrek of today. If he hadn't taken action, Yao Haoxuan would have died, Chen Zifeng would have lost a leg, and the most ridiculous thing is that after tens of thousands of years of development, you still cannot achieve limb regeneration. Is it not pathetic?

The people present were all looking at Su Yu with shock on their faces. After all, in their impression, besides being strong, Su Yu was just an ordinary student.

Now that Su Yu spoke, they realized that Su Yu's vision was actually so far-reaching. This kind of understanding seemed to completely surpass them. Was Su Yu wrong?

No, it was even completely correct!
