Chapter 82: Questioning from a Biological Father
Looking at the five people opposite him, Shen Ce knew he had already lost, thoroughly lost.
In a seven-person team battle, only he remained now; there was no longer any possibility for him to win.
"I concede." Shen Ce knew that continuing to struggle was meaningless; when Su Yu appeared on the opposite side, capable of taking his attacks head-on and disrupting their formation's defense, the victory of this match had already tilted completely toward them.
What's more, later on, his own teammates An Lengye and Fei Yuyan were eliminated one after another by the opponent through other methods, and with only him left alongside four defense-type Soul Ancestors, it was impossible to turn the tide.
Reality is just that cruel; in fact, if the main team members had come, they would only have lost even more miserably. This time, it could only be said that their luck wasn't good enough, and they let this "Su fellow" have a moment of pure "European Emperor" luck.
Su Yu believed that, in fact, it wasn't just the opponents who felt this was incredible; his own teammates were definitely the most bewildered ones.
Originally, Huo Yu Hao was left at the back to hold the line, but Huo Yu Hao himself was uneasy because he knew that if he were to take action, he could definitely make the pressure on Su Yu much lighter.
Originally, the tactic for this match was to be a bit more steady, but who knew this "Su fellow" wouldn't play by the rules? The original tactic was instantly disrupted by Su Yu's preemptive strike; never mind studying tactics, the people from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy were completely stunned.
Want to study tactics? Not a chance!
After returning home, the "Su fellow" sat quietly at home to recover; if there were any injuries, they were internal, and aside from excessive soul power consumption and some minor internal injuries, he was otherwise as lively as a dragon or tiger.
The next match is the day after tomorrow, and the unscrupulous "Su fellow" is contemplating whether to use the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy; the Two-Two-Three is just a bunch of their couples showing off.
If one were to say Dou I was about super geniuses pulling off upsets and perfect kills, then Dou II is about entering the competition early and "reverse-smoking" the gods.
Thinking about it carefully, it was simply one more outrageous thing after another; if this group of guys really became the main team in the future, it would simply be a pure slaughter, but the subsequent journey of participating in the competition remained incomparably bumpy...
Now thinking about it carefully, that dazzling performance earlier, and then being ruthlessly caught up by others—could it be that all your efforts for five years were just efforts for nothing?
In any case, Su Yu did not intend to listen to Wang Yan nag too much; if he could get some guidance from Yi Lao, he would definitely not have so much trouble. If only Yi Lao were here, let alone Spirit Interference, he was afraid even Simulation could be used.
Huo Yu Hao's four soul skills are less like soul skills and more like high-level methods of using Spirit Power; at Yi Lao's level, what is there that he doesn't know?
In fact, he had also been dragged by Wang Dong to listen to a part of Wang Yan's meeting; anyway, everyone's division of labor was very clear: Xu Sanshi was responsible for taking beatings and one-for-one trades, truly the team's strongest tool man.
But Bei Bei's later words were truly unpleasant. Bei Bei raised his hand and patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder, saying: "Alright, stop pretending. You guy is more afraid of death than anyone else; if others don't know you, don't I know you? You have plenty of ways to save your life. How about this, if you can hold on, and we achieve the final victory, I'll ask Nannan to give you some reward. How about it?"
This would be repulsive to any girl, not to mention that Jiang Nannan's disgust for Xu Sanshi had already reached a certain level. Jiang Nannan's words were correct; she was not a bargaining chip, much less goods for Bei Bei and the others to trade.
If it weren't for the extraordinary times, it would already be considered polite that Jiang Nannan hadn't fought them.
Some jokes can be made, but some jokes really cannot be made...
At the same time, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy was also studying Shrek. Regarding tactics, they had absolutely nothing to worry about; the only thing they needed to worry about was that person who suddenly appeared today, Su Yu.
"Speak up, everyone. How do you feel after watching today's match? You had better pay more attention to that newly appeared youth," Elder Ma said in a deep voice.
The people from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy were all somewhat silent, not knowing how to answer. Whether it was Huo Yu Hao who appeared at the very beginning or Su Yu who appeared suddenly later, both had put them in an extremely headache-inducing situation.
A main team member couldn't help but say: "Elder Ma, could that mysterious youth from the Shrek Academy representative team really be a Six-Ring Soul Emperor? Also, is that latest youth really a Three-Ring? How could a Three-Ring Soul Elder have the strength to go head-to-head with a Five-Ring Soul King?"
Elder Ma said angrily: "Idiot, is that all you saw? Have you ever heard of any research that can turn all of a Soul Master's soul rings into hundred-thousand-year ones? And how old is he? I have observed carefully; although that youth's physique is quite tall and straight, one can tell from the youthfulness in his brows and eyes that he is probably only about thirteen years old. At this age, even if he started cultivating from his mother's womb, he couldn't reach the cultivation of a Soul Emperor. Shrek Academy must have used some special means to cover it up."
"Also, are you talking about that Three-Ring guy? Have you ever seen a Three-Ring take a blow comparable to a Six-Ring Soul Emperor without a scratch? Both of these guys used special means to conceal their cultivation, otherwise, how could such a scene have occurred?" Elder Ma now only felt his head was in a mess.
Although that main team member was a bit unconvinced, he continued to ask: "How did that guy with six hundred-thousand-year soul rings manage to defeat seven people alone? Although we were on the stage, that distinct ice-attribute power could not be covered up."
At this time, the captain, Ma Rulong, spoke up: "Actually, according to common sense, no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible for them to create a situation where all six rings are hundred-thousand-year ones at such a young age. If their six soul rings are fake, then they must have used other means. In the first day's match, the opponents all fell into a daze; it is very likely they used other means. Plus, he himself has an ice attribute, so the greatest possibility is that he has Twin Martial Souls."
His words were deeply admired even by the usually proud Xiao Hongchen, but Xiao Hongchen did not think Huo Yu Hao was a thorny character.
"If that guy with Twin Martial Souls were truly strong, he wouldn't have just been holding the line at the back in today's battle. If he were strong enough, no one would have been injured in today's battle. Even if he has Twin Martial Souls, I dare conclude that his soul power cannot be very high." Xiao Hongchen is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat, and even less willing to hear that someone is stronger than him.
Ma Rulong said confidently: "To sum up, I have a relatively accurate judgment. Although I don't know what happened on Shrek's side, don't you think the participants in this session are all too young? Judging from their ages, they are completely a Reserve Team. Although I don't know the reason they came to participate, this can be considered our only chance."
The only chance?
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly and said: "Is it possible that we really cannot defeat Shrek? Our progress over these years has also been great, and Shrek has always been conservative and looked down upon our Soul Guidance Devices. This time, I firmly believe we will win. Even if the seniors fail this session, in the next tournament, I will win the championship for our Sun Moon Empire!"
Xiao Hongchen's words seemed arrogant, but in reality, he was not wrong. The development of the Shrek Soul Guidance Department was difficult, and the thinking of the academy's top brass remained stubborn. In terms of the development of Soul Guidance Devices, the unit of measurement for the gap between the two sides is truly years.
The gap between them could be decades, or perhaps even a hundred years...
Ma Rulong looked at Xiao Hongchen and did not refute his statement; who wouldn't want to defeat Shrek?
"Elder Ma, have you found the information on those two youths?" Ma Rulong asked.
Elder Ma reached out and spread a document on the table, saying: "Currently, we only know that the youth with six soul rings is named Huo Yu Hao, and the Three-Ring Soul Elder youth is named Su Yu."
"Is there nothing else besides this?" Xiao Hongchen picked up the document, only to find it was blank except for the names.
…………
Star Luo Imperial Capital, Su Family.
"Look at you, I let you go to Shrek Academy to study, but you insisted on going to participate in some All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. What will you do if something happens? From today on, you stay at home honestly for me!" The "Su fellow's" old man unceremoniously had people lock Su Yu at home.
"I..." Su Yu was about to refute, but found his old man already sitting quietly opposite him, looking at him with an expression that said, "I'm listening to your sophistry."
"I what I? Continue, I'll give you a chance to argue, speak, continue speaking..." Su Xinyuan looked at Su Yu quietly.
Once he saw his old man with this expression, Su Yu knew that saying anything now was useless; never mind participating in the competition, whether he could even leave the house now was a big problem.
"Nothing to argue about, you go ahead, I'm listening." Su Yu also sat down quietly. Looking at the meaningful expression of Su Xinyuan opposite him, Su Yu knew that his old man, Su Xinyuan, definitely had something to say.
"That's more like it. I won't beat around the bush with you. I've already stockpiled quite a lot of the goods you told me to stockpile last time. Just give your old man one sentence: what are you buying these things for?" Su Xinyuan took out the long list Su Yu had made.
Taking the list, Su Yu looked at Su Xinyuan helplessly and said: "You won't regret it after I say it, right?"
"If you have something to say, say it; don't give your old man so much nonsense." Su Xinyuan's temper varied from person to person, especially when dealing with this rebellious son, Su Yu, he was particularly irritable.
"To build a Soul Guidance Device." Su Yu answered very crisply.
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Are those things of yours used to build a Soul Guidance Device? Those are simply materials for a War Machine. Although your old man is not a Soul Master, I know much more about this aspect than you do. Just say it directly; our Su Family is bigger than you imagine. What kind of big winds and waves have we not seen?" Su Xinyuan was quite calm; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Su Yu spend ten million gold coins to purchase wantonly at the Treasure Appraisal Meeting back then.
