Chapter 80: Eye of the Living

A Soul Engineer who gets their hands on a list-ranking carving knife will definitely use it; this thing is just like a Soul Master finding a suitable soul bone. Su Yu says he's taking it to collect—the hell he is!

Watching the expression on Wang Dong's face begin to change, Su, still completely oblivious, was busy fantasizing about the wonderful situation that would unfold once Yi Lao woke up and refined the Life Gold.

Looking at Su Yu's appearance, Wang Dong secretly made up his mind, "No, I absolutely cannot let that guy use that Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade."

Saying this, he reached out directly to snatch Su's Storage Soul Guidance Device, "This thing is too dangerous; I can't let you use it!"

"I won't. Since I bought it, I definitely have a way. You should trust me." Su Yu dodged, avoiding the figure Wang Dong lunged with.

Grabbing Su Yu by the collar, Wang Dong said, "The hell I trust you! So many people have been harmed by this evil thing; you having a way is a ghost story. I can't let you go down the wrong path! Are you giving it to me or not? If you don't, I'm going to take action."

Following this, the well-meaning Class Monitor Wang and Su spent the whole way fighting over it...

When they returned, Su was already beaten black and blue, while Class Monitor Wang's clothes were disheveled and his hair looked like a bird's nest.

Looking at the two of them, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but say, "Were you two robbed? Was it for money or for your virtue?"

"Get lost!" Su Yu just wanted to kick the bastard Xu Sanshi to death right now. Damn it, he didn't know what medicine Wang Dong had taken wrong; he fought to the death to keep Su Yu from taking the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade, saying it was safer to leave it with the teacher.

Then these two brothers, one grabbing and one defending, actually fought the entire way back. If it weren't for Su Yu being afraid of hurting Wang Dong, he wouldn't have held back so much.

This resulted in Su returning black and blue, while Class Monitor Wang was disheveled, his hair a mess like a bird's nest, and his sleeves even torn.

"You two didn't really get robbed for your virtue, did you?" Looking at Wang Dong's torn sleeves and disheveled appearance, the bastard Xu Sanshi's thoughts began to run wild.

"Xu Sanshi, shut your mouth! If you dare say another word, I'll never talk to you again!" Jiang Nannan, standing to the side, couldn't listen anymore. This wasn't a funny matter to begin with, and she could feel that Su Yu and Wang Dong hadn't encountered anything of the sort.

Jiang Nannan's words were quite effective; they instantly made Xu Sanshi, who was running wild in his fantasies, tremble all over, and he immediately didn't dare say anything more.

However, the words of this guy Xu Sanshi made her feel an extra layer of disgust toward him.

At this moment, Bei Bei stepped forward with concern and asked, "What happened to you two? Tell us if there's something wrong; everyone is here."

"Master, Su Yu is clearly a Soul Engineer. He said he bought this list-ranking carving knife, the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade, just to collect it. I don't trust him and wanted to take it so he wouldn't use it, and then..."

Wang Dong lowered his head, a shy blush appearing on his face.

"Then he couldn't grab it back from me and started hitting me, and we've been fighting from the way back until now..."

Su helplessly covered his forehead. Although he knew Wang Dong was well-intentioned, this method of yours is just too...

"You two..." Looking at their appearance, Bei Bei also felt a bit speechless.

"Wang Dong's words aren't without reason. If you really need the academy's help, you can choose to temporarily store the carving knife at the academy, and the academy will try its best to help you resolve the curse." At this time, Wang Yan also came over and said.

Su Yu calmly said, "I already said I'm just collecting it. If I really wanted to use it, I could just go buy another one, couldn't I? Would someone as smart as me jump into a trap knowing it's there?"

"You're really not lying to me?"

Wang Dong looked at Su Yu with a face full of suspicion, while Su patted his own chest and guaranteed it with shameless confidence.

Although Huo Yu Hao was also of the spirit attribute, both Tian Meng and the Ice Empress had told him very definitely that he could not use it.

Although everyone was half-believing, this was, after all, Su Yu's personal property; Wang Yan couldn't exactly force his interference.

At night, when Su Yu held the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade, Yi Lao was still sleeping in his Spirit Sea. Su Yu didn't stay idle and directly released his Spirit Detection to cover the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade. The moment they made contact, Su Yu's body trembled violently.

He only felt his vision go black; the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade seemed to have turned into an endless black hole, crazily devouring his Spirit Power. Moreover, a stream of extremely cold energy, carrying a terrifying, fierce aura, was drilling along his Spirit Detection into his Spirit Sea.

Holy shit, this damn thing is poisonous!

Su couldn't help it for a moment and cursed out loud. The aura of the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade was incomparably fierce, charging all the way into Su Yu's Spirit Sea, and along the way, it kept releasing destructive power, attempting to completely destroy Su Yu's Spirit Sea.

However, the next instant, in his mind, that phantom of the Ancestral Dragon roared toward the sky. The entire Spirit Sea stirred with violent turbulence, yet Su Yu's Spirit Sea remained completely intact, and the power of the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade that had invaded was instantly absorbed by the Ancestral Dragon's phantom.

The original crisis was solved easily. Not only that, Su Yu could clearly perceive that the power of the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade had instantly lost more than half its strength; the remaining power now posed no threat to him at all.

Ah, this...

Holy shit, this time the ancestor manifested! Thanks to the ancestor for the protection!

As the aura of the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade slowly dissipated, Yi Lao also woke up from his slumber.

"Su Yu, it seems you have already obtained the Life Gold. Leave the rest to me."

At this moment, Su Yu's pupils were rapidly filled with gray. Those gray eyes were filled with endless deathly silence, yet within this silence, there was a kind of unprecedented sanctity.

After looking with these eyes, Su Yu turned his head back, his gaze focused on the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade. A faint gray light actually shot out as if it were a tangible object, landing directly on this carving knife.

Su Yu's own consciousness returned directly to his Spirit Sea; Electrolux took over control of his body. When it came to the use of Spirit Power, Electrolux could basically be called a god standing at the peak!

The moment the gray Spirit Power released by Electrolux landed on the Spirit-Eating carving knife, this fierce blade actually trembled violently, and sounds like shrill screams of agony kept coming from the knife. If someone with an unsteady will heard this sound, their emotions would likely be severely affected.

Electrolux's intent echoed in Su Yu's Spirit Sea, "To inject evil thoughts and curses into Life Gold, the perpetrator really had some imagination. They only felt the vast energy within the Life Gold but had no idea how to make the Life Gold release its true, wonderful utility. Purify, Life Gold; I will definitely restore you to your original appearance. Drive out all filth and bloom with your purest life aura."

The entire Purification process was very brief. Soon, the last wisp of black airflow on the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade quietly vanished, and the green light emitted by its main body became as clear as water, without a trace of impurity. The originally pitch-black body of the carving knife also turned into something like green crystal.

"It seems there is an even more miraculous power in your mind that could directly annihilate the power of the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade. This meant my Purification process didn't consume much Spirit Power at all. Now, let me fuse it with you."

Electrolux's voice did not show any signs of weakness. He was still fully taking over Su Yu's body, but in Su Yu's Spirit Sea, that faint Ancestral Dragon phantom was also blooming with unprecedented light, as if it were guarding Su Yu.

"No wonder Electrolux said there was an even more miraculous power in my body; so it was that. Not bad, not bad. There is indeed a saying that is correct: Descendant of the Dragon, hahaha..."

The Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade had long since lost its previous ferocity. Now held in Electrolux's hand, even Su Yu, inside his Spirit Sea, could feel that extremely rich Life Force.

Su Yu trusted Electrolux completely, because Electrolux knew that if Su Yu died now, he would also dissipate. Let alone possession, in his current fragile state, he simply couldn't do it, not to mention there was an even more miraculous power guarding Su Yu's Spirit Sea!

The Ancestral Dragon phantom!

When the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade pressed against Su Yu's forehead, a rich, extreme Life Force instantly poured into Su Yu's body through his brow, and even Su Yu's Spirit Sea was dyed green.

It wasn't just Su Yu greedily absorbing this vast Life Force; that Ancestral Dragon phantom was absorbing it too.

Furthermore, Su Yu could clearly feel his body undergoing changes. His physical fitness, originally comparable to a Level Forty-Eight Soul Ancestor, was now rapidly soaring; his meridians, internal organs, and bones were all undergoing a qualitative change.

This transformation could be called a rebirth, and this change was one of the signs of becoming a powerhouse in the future!

Su Yu was not worried at all about what would happen next. What he needed now was just to have courage and wait quietly, waiting for the arrival of his cheat.

When the Spirit-Eating Fierce Blade sliced open Su Yu's brow, Su Yu could feel the sensation of his mind being torn apart, but the pain did not last long before it disappeared.

When everything quieted down, Su Yu's Spirit Sea had turned into a jade-green ocean...

Uh, why the hell is it green? Wouldn't gold be more high-end and classy?

A burst of gray light slowly dissipated. After the light vanished, an old man in white with an aged face appeared in Su Yu's Spirit Sea.

"I didn't lie to you, did I? Hasn't this Life Gold brought you unimaginable benefits? Now that I have a place to reside, I don't have to worry about my divine sense dissipating. We have a long time to spend together in the future. If you have anything in the future, you can contact me directly through the Spirit Origin. I'm leaving first."

As he spoke, Electrolux drew a line with a casual wave of his hand and stepped into a portal of light.

However, the matter was far from over; the formation of the Eye of Life was a painful and lengthy process, and Su Yu simply fainted from the pain with great indifference.

When Su Yu woke up, the Eye of Life in the center of his brow had completely taken shape, and both his body's flexibility and strength had completely surpassed his previous Level 48.

His endurance was even stronger now; if he were to go to the Star Dou Great Forest or other great forests again, he reckoned his strength could truly achieve another leap.

That's easy to say; since I've already gotten what I needed, it's time for me to take the stage for the team battle, otherwise if I let Huo take all the spotlight, wouldn't I, as a substitute, lose a lot of face?

Each day's competition consists of one-on-one, two-on-two, or three-on-three, or perhaps a team battle.

The sun was high in the sky, and the competition time had arrived. The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire had once again come to the city walls of the imperial capital to watch the battle. Undoubtedly, what he was most concerned about was the performance of Shrek Academy.

On the competition stage, the referee walked to the center and announced loudly through a Soul Guidance Device: "Both sides, enter the waiting area. Both team captains, come on stage to draw lots."

The members of Shrek Academy, dressed in dark green competition uniforms, stood up and walked into the waiting area. Wang Yan nodded to Bei Bei, and after Bei Bei exchanged a glance with Xu Sanshi, he strode onto the competition stage.

Of course, this time Su Yu followed along in the team, and upon seeing Su Yu appear, Bei Bei and the others looked at Su Yu happily.

With Su Yu's addition, future battles would be equivalent to having a core commanding figure. In this regard, Bei Bei had absolute faith in Su Yu; after all, during that melee assessment match, Su Yu's command had truly left a deep impression on everyone's hearts. Not to mention Bei Bei, even Xu Sanshi had been completely won over by that battle.

Looking at Su Yu wearing the Shrek school uniform, Xu Jiujiu on the spectator stand only let out a cold snort. Just how much of a performance could this little fellow from the imperial capital, whom she had looked down upon in the past, actually put on? Even if Su Yu were stronger, he was only a Three-Ring Soul Elder after all.

The drawing of lots begins!

Everyone was paying attention to the result of the draw for this match. Regardless of the competition format, any match involving Shrek Academy would undoubtedly be very exciting.

Right now, the audience just hoped that Shrek Academy's opponents could hold out a bit longer, allowing them to see more exciting matches.

"Shrek Academy versus Qianling Academy, team battle." The referee announced the result of the draw loudly.

Team battle?

Damn it, why the hell is it still a team battle...

Can't you change it to a singles match or a doubles match?

For this battle, Wang Yan had actually already made deployments, but to ensure nothing went wrong, he still swapped Xiao Xiao out, mainly to ensure Huo Yu Hao's deterrent power. This resulted in the highly anticipated Huo Yu Hao participating in the battle once again.

Originally, their plan was that if Su Yu could not participate, they would have to take the field themselves, but Su Yu's injuries had fully recovered. The current tactic was undoubtedly to guarantee Huo Yu Hao's deterrent power; only by making others unable to see through him would it make people fearful.

Humans will always have an instinctive fear of the unknown, and Wang Yan's method was indeed applicable to the current situation.
