Chapter 90: Attempting to Forge

Wang Dong still had that nature of fearing the world wouldn't be chaotic enough; it was as if he absolutely had to stir up some trouble.

Looking at the smiling Xiao Hongchen, Su Yu also raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke slowly: "Uncle, are you a teacher at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy?"

Wang Dong's subsequent actions nearly drove Xiao Hongchen mad; in terms of being black-bellied, Wang Dong was definitely not beneath Huo.

What Su Yu found most absurd was that Wang Dong actually winked at Meng Hongchen, instantly leaving that little girl completely bewildered. Although Wang Dong was a cute girl at heart, he definitely possessed something that most girls felt helpless about.

He had all the skills to flirt with girls, but unfortunately, he himself was a girl...

If only I were a guy, I, Wang Dong, would also be someone sitting on three thousand beauties, right?

However, reality always has many gaps with ideals. What is called professional? In terms of flirting with girls, Class Monitor Wang can be called the pinnacle.

It's just a pity, a real pity...

Wang Dong turned to Meng Hongchen, and his expression changed instantly. It was a peculiar look containing three parts admiration, six parts attachment, and one part longing: "Big sister, you are so beautiful!"

Looking at Wang Dong's somewhat strange expression, Su Yu finally understood what the so-called "three parts sarcasm, three parts thin coolness, three parts indifference, and one part sneer" was all about. It turns out you were drawing a pie chart directly in their eyes.

To be fair, the prettier a girl is, the easier it is to attract attention when cross-dressing as a man, especially this guy Wang Dong. Not only is he incredibly handsome, but he's also damn cute—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's cute enough to make one bleed. It's just that I've never seen what Wang Dong is like when he acts spoiled or cute...

Stop, stop. Su Yu really didn't dare to imagine any further, fearing that if he couldn't hold back on certain things, it would easily lead to loss of life.

This bird... ahem, this beast... no, this gentleman is honored to meet all you birds... ahem, all you gentlemen. A pleasure, a pleasure...

Although Meng Hongchen was older than Wang Dong and Huo Yu Hao, she was actually only a year or so older. Looking at this youth who was about the same height as her and so beautiful in appearance, especially since he was praising her, her pretty face immediately flushed, and she murmured: "You are also very handsome."

As a senior member of the "looks association," Meng Hongchen defected instantly. She had absolutely no resistance to Wang Dong. To put it bluntly, Wang Dong's appearance perfectly hit the spot of Meng Hongchen's aesthetic.

Lust does not distinguish between men and women. If you find anyone on the street and check if they are alive, as long as they are alive, they are lustful!

A gentleman says, eating and sex are human nature!

To put it nicely, it's love at first sight; to put it bluntly, it's lust at first sight...

Actually, this trope is damn classic: a good-looking hero saves a beauty, and the beauty says, "I have no way to repay your great kindness, so I can only offer my body."

If the person doesn't look good, it's, "This little girl will be a cow or a horse in the next life to repay your kindness, young master..."

Is there any justice left? Is there any law left?

Isn't this bullying an honest person?

…………

"Class Monitor Wang is truly worthy of being someone who walks through ten thousand flowers without a single leaf touching his body. Your ability to hook up with little girls is truly astonishing. I, Su, admire you greatly." Su Yu looked at Wang Dong with a half-smile.

Wang Dong spoke brazenly: "You don't know about this, do you? Since I was a child, I don't know how many women have liked me, so my methods for picking up girls are naturally ever-changing. It's just a pity..."

"Oh, it seems Class Monitor Wang also has troubles. Is it a pity that you are not... not an adult?" Su Yu very tactfully withdrew the second half of the sentence and changed it to another word.

Wang Dong felt a bit of a chill from Su Yu's gaze. After hearing the complete sentence, he said disdainfully: "What do you know? Anyway, you won't understand the troubles of this adult."

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is right." Su Yu nodded and smiled indifferently.

…………

Actually, Su Yu knew Wang Dong's little schemes clearly. With your little tsundere nature, we've lived together for so long; if I didn't even know this, who would?

"What's wrong? Are you angry? Or are you jealous? Could it be that our Vice Class Monitor has taken a fancy to her?" As he spoke, Wang Dong asked with a feigned look of contemplation.

Su Yu pinched Wang Dong's face: "Go on, go on, just don't cause any loss of life..."

Cause loss of life?

Wang Dong didn't know what Su Yu was thinking. He wouldn't kill anyone, so how could he cause loss of life?

Originally, the seven people representing Shrek were Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Huo Yu Hao, and Wang Dong.

But at Su Yu's suggestion, He Caitou replaced Wang Dong in the battle. As for Su Yu, he didn't plan to make a move for the time being. If he really had to, it would be the final battle to prevent Ma Xiaotao from turning dark. If it weren't for too many headaches, he, Su, would have already slipped away to the Sun Moon Empire while recuperating.

Who would be bored enough to participate in this Soul Master Tournament? I don't want to win any glory for you all. The mess you stirred up, a wave of "intelligence-lowering" aura almost wiped out all seven people; it's truly absurd...

Fine, you fight as you please, I'll just watch.

After returning home, Su Yu began to forge metal. The industry of forging has always existed, but the subsequent Hundred Refinements, Thousand Refinements, Spirit Refinements, Soul Refinements, and Heavenly Refinements followed.

In Dou II, the classification of Soul Engineers was not that obvious, but by Dou III, everything about Soul Engineers began to be subdivided.

In later generations, the development of Soul Guidance Devices went in three directions: the first was Mecha, the second was Battle Armor, and the third was War Machine.

Airplanes, cannons, warships, and so on...

Anyway, the more this thing is written, the more absurd it gets. A fantasy world has turned into a sci-fi world, and the kind that wears a sci-fi coat over fantasy.

Although Su Yu didn't know how the Clear Sky Sect's secret Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique ended up in Tang Ya's hands, according to the original work's explanation, it was to give the protagonist a greater boost...

Anyway, it's just the protagonist's halo; those who know, know.

Clang!

As the last hammer fell, the metal in his hand once again became a pile of scrap iron. This was the result of Su Yu's thirty-plus attempts with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique...

What gave Su Yu the biggest headache was that he had specifically sought out a blacksmith, and the blacksmith asserted that the things he currently forged were still at the most elementary stage...

Damn it, I've ruined over thirty attempts and can't even achieve Hundred Refinements...

Forget it, can't force it. Let's try to see how to improve the Defensive Soul Guidance Device.

Just like that, Su Yu spent three brain-burning days. In this basement where the sun never shone, Su Yu and several other Soul Engineers kept trying to make modifications; Su Yu provided the Blueprint, and they were responsible for the work.

Although the outcome was still unsatisfactory, at least some experience had been accumulated.

At the same time, a completely different scene was unfolding in the Star Emperor Hotel.

Wang Yan sat down opposite Ma Xiaotao, just looking at her with a calm gaze.

"Xiaotao, you are the captain of our Shrek Battle Team for this tournament, right?"

Ma Xiaotao said subconsciously: "Of course that's right."

Wang Yan said: "Then let me ask you, as the captain, what is your most important responsibility? Is it to vent your emotions according to your own mood, or should you go all out to lead the whole team to win the final championship?"

Ma Xiaotao was stunned. She was a smart person; although her temper wasn't very good usually, her intelligence was no worse than anyone else's. Naturally, she could hear the meaning in Wang Yan's words.

Wang Yan stared at her deeply and said in a low voice: "If it's about being a captain, among the ten people who came this time, the most qualified is Bei Bei, not you. Even if it were Dai Yaoheng, he would be better than you. Even Huo Yu Hao is more suitable to be captain than you."

Ma Xiaotao wanted to retort, but the subsequent series of words left her speechless. In terms of eloquence, Ma Xiaotao could only convince people with virtue at best.

After some careful guidance, Ma Xiaotao still looked somewhat unconvinced; she thought of another person, someone who, although appearing unreliable, could always achieve satisfactory results through unimaginable performances.

Su Yu!

That's right, it's Su Yu!

In the previous matches, although Su Yu only participated in one, when comparing the battle against Chen Zifeng and the later match against Qianling Academy, who could have expected that Su Yu's methods and way of thinking would be so exceptionally unique? Not to mention Bei Bei, even Wang Yan was shocked to the point of speechlessness.

"Teacher Wang, although I agree with your theory, I believe there is still one person who can definitely understand my thoughts." Ma Xiaotao pondered for a long time, but ultimately decided to speak up.

Wang Yan slowly looked at Ma Xiaotao and said calmly, "You are talking about Su Yu, right?"

"Yes, if it were Su Yu, I believe he could provide a better decision; his way of thinking is not the same as yours." Ma Xiaotao wanted to retort, but she seemed unable to find any better argument.

Wang Yan sighed and said, "You are right; tactically, Su Yu's tactics can indeed achieve victory through surprise, but can you guarantee that you are the same as Su Yu? As the captain, shouldn't you be able to shoulder the responsibility?"

Indeed, Bei Bei's decisions leaned toward being steady, Huo Yu Hao's decisions lay in the Support System, and Su Yu's decisions were always impossible to fathom.

Wang Yan's words were correct; it is impossible for everyone to be like Su Yu, and since one is a captain, one should have something to shoulder.

Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

"Which guy is cursing me again? Have I caught a cold these past few days? Why am I sneezing so much? Forget it, let me continue studying Undead Magic. I've been a bit negligent in my Spirit Power cultivation lately, so I have to work hard now; I can't let myself just be a bystander in the upcoming matches."

Yi Lao's divine sense was also constantly recovering, and he began to formally teach some methods for cultivating Spirit Power. Although the cultivation systems of the two worlds differed, the cultivation of Spirit Power did not differ much.

Su Yu still chose Undead Magic; after all, this thing would have a massive Undead Semi-Plane in the future, which could be called a real-life version of an undead army!
