Chapter 91: Pre-Match Battle Preparations

If in the future Su were to stand upon the head of Xiao Bai, commanding an undead legion behind him, what a majestic sight that would be.

The armies of the Douluo Continent could not possibly contend with the creatures of the Undead Semi-Plane; as long as Su Yu was willing in the future, he could also launch an Undead Calamity!

The power of Undead Magic goes far beyond this; of course, Yi Lao's advice to him was that unless it was an absolute last resort, he must never use Undead Magic casually.

But Su Yu knew that his future self was destined to rely on Undead Magic; living in troubled times, absolute last resorts were everywhere...

In the upcoming round of eight to four, Shrek Academy was lucky enough to draw a top-tier favorable matchup, drawing the weakest team among the final eight. Speaking of which, they were old acquaintances: the Zheng Tian Academy team that had once caused Huo Yu Hao and the others great trouble.

The final result was predictable; even without Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, and Ling Luochen, the Shrek Battle Team had barely managed to win, and now with two Soul Emperors and one Soul King added, this match had no suspense. Zheng Tian Academy was beaten so badly they couldn't even find north. The Shrek Battle Team stepped over them to advance to the final four.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament had reached its end here, and the end also meant the arrival of the greatest crisis.

After experiencing this period of bitter cultivation and these twists and turns, Su's soul power had already risen to the level of thirty-three, but it was a pity he was still a step away; if he were given more time, he could definitely have broken through to level thirty-four.

With every level he rose, Su Yu's strength would cross another threshold; although Su Yu could not yet compare to Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi at their full explosive power, as long as he was given a little more time, at least below the five-ring level, Su Yu could guarantee he would remain invincible!

The battle meeting before the round of eight to four lasted a full six hours; Su Yu knew that this time, the opponent was definitely that woman, Xu Jiujiu.

If I, your father, don't take the stage when such a great opportunity presents itself, wouldn't that be letting down the fact that you, woman, have been making things difficult for me everywhere? I'm going to settle a personal score, I'll smash your mouth to pieces first!

It was naturally not just the Shrek side that was nervous; others were nervous too, after all, this battle would determine the final ranking, and for the other few teams, if they won, this would be a battle that would go down in history.

One must know that any team capable of reaching the top few places in the tournament, no matter what power any member joins, will receive extremely high treatment. If they enter government service, they might even receive noble titles. This glory will accompany them for their entire lives!

It can be said that the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament has long since become a grand competition for countries across the continent to select and fight over elite talent.

If it weren't for Shrek Academy's transcendent status, I fear that various noble powers, families, and even sects would have long since come to win over these students.

"It's difficult, too difficult..." Su Yu looked helplessly at the data in his hands and let out a powerless sigh.

At this moment, Wang Yan had long since left, and what remained were the people participating in the competition. Upon hearing Su Yu's words, everyone widened their eyes and focused their gazes on Su Yu.

"What's wrong, Little Junior Brother? Even you don't have confidence anymore?" Bei Bei stood up and patted Su Yu on the shoulder.

Bei Bei's words not only added a layer of pressure to everyone's hearts, because he said "even," which showed that in fact, Bei Bei had the same worries in his heart.

Su Yu slowly put the information in his hands into his Soul Guidance Device, and looking at everyone's expectant gazes, Su Yu slowly said, "I know, actually, even if I don't say it, you all have the answer in your hearts, but I can tell you that although tomorrow's battle will be perilous, I firmly believe we will win."

Huo Yu Hao looked at Su Yu's resolute appearance and quietly pulled Bei Bei aside to ask, "Master, do you think we can win the final championship?"

Don't look at the fact that the strongest among them were Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng, but the one Huo Yu Hao trusted most was always this Master of his, who was gentle and scholarly on the surface, but actually extremely intelligent and approachable.

"Su Yu said we will win, and I also believe in Su Yu. What, don't you believe in Su Yu?" Although Bei Bei was often unserious, his mind was also extremely steady; after all, as Mu Lao's great-grandson, if he didn't even have this bit of experience and ability, that would truly be a disgrace to Mu Lao.

Huo Yu Hao shook his head and said, "I believe in Su Yu's judgment, and I also believe in Master's judgment. It's just that after listening to Teacher Wang's analysis, our opponents are indeed very strong!"

"Since you have a plan, why don't you say it? I believe you are not the type of reckless person." The long-silent He Cai Tou slowly spoke. Nowadays, He Cai Tou had begun to undergo some changes; he was no longer that ugly, bald-headed, honest-looking image.

Looking around at everyone, Su Yu slowly said, "Confidence is the peak. Sometimes there is no need to care about too many things. If we lose all fighting spirit just because of the opponent's strength, wouldn't we have disgraced Shrek? How then could we defend Shrek's glory? If we must fight, then let us fight!"

At this moment, a strange light appeared in everyone's eyes; even Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, and Ling Luochen could not help but be slightly moved, and the way they looked at Su Yu changed slightly.

The smile on Bei Bei's face faded slightly, and he said gently, "Confidence comes from strength. The reason why our Shrek Academy can become the number one academy on the continent, and why it is well-deserved, is because the academy's cultivation never involves pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Every one of us who can participate in this tournament has relied on our own efforts to possess today's combat power step by step. Therefore, our Shrek Soul Elders are different from other academies' Soul Elders, our Soul Ancestors are different, and our Soul Kings are even more different. When it comes to the Soul Emperor level, the gap will widen even further. Perhaps our opponents can use Soul Guidance Devices or some strategies and tactics to narrow this gap. But as long as our foundation can be ignited by fighting spirit, as long as we can truly burn with Shrek's glory, then we will surely win."

Bei Bei's words pushed the atmosphere to a climax once again. The subsequent deployment was entirely the home field of Bei Bei and Su Yu; if people didn't know Bei Bei was the captain of the Reserve Team, they probably really wouldn't be able to tell who the captain was.

The meeting was successfully dismissed, but Huo Yu Hao became interested in the "pulling up seedlings to help them grow" that Bei Bei mentioned. In fact, it wasn't just Huo Yu Hao; even Ma Xiaotao was curious why Bei Bei, an Outer Court student, would know these things.

Ma Xiaotao's voice came from behind, "Junior Brother Bei Bei, you know quite a lot. You are in the Outer Court, how do you know so much about the Inner Court?"

Bei Bei turned around, tilted his head to give Ma Xiaotao a slight smile, and said, "Senior Sister, I'd better not say."

Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, "Why not say? Speak."

The more Bei Bei resisted, the greater the curiosity in Ma Xiaotao's heart. If Bei Bei had said it readily, Ma Xiaotao definitely wouldn't have been interested. This is actually a common human flaw, and it can actually be considered a kind of instinctive habitual thinking.

Since he was being secretive, it must be an important matter...

But this guy Bei Bei still had the audacity to play a trick on Ma Xiaotao; anyway, he had Mu Lao backing him, so what was there to be afraid of?

It must be said that this preparation for battle was exceptionally smooth. Giving speeches is actually an art; the more one understands this art, the more potential one has to become a leader. Of course, in terms of true leadership ability, Bei Bei was still stronger in an invisible way.

After returning home, He Cai Tou and Wang Dong followed. He Cai Tou continued to study Soul Guidance Devices, and Su Yu was responsible for providing the space.

Su Yu wanted to do an experiment. He had absorbed a large amount of Life Force left behind by the Life Gold; although the vast majority had been absorbed by Su Yu himself, Su Yu wanted to give the remaining portion to Wang Dong.

Anyway, he wouldn't be lacking this portion, and there wasn't much difference between having it and not having it.

That night, the two sat facing each other, palms pressed together, and a large amount of Life Force was continuously transported into Wang Dong's body.

"Su Yu, you lied to me again. This is clearly the life force from your own body; I can't take it, hurry and take it back..." Wang Dong was a bit anxious; he thought Su Yu was depleting his own life essence to nourish him.

"Idiot, do you think I'm that stupid? This is good stuff, hurry up and absorb it, don't waste it. I'll tell you the reason after you've finished absorbing it. Don't worry about me, you know?"

Su Yu increased the output of his life essence. Although the vast majority of the life force was absorbed by Su Yu himself, the remaining small portion was still shockingly large; after all, that was Life Gold, not some street-side Chinese cabbage!

Throughout the night, more than half of the life essence contained in Su Yu's body was absorbed by Wang Dong. Nourished by the Life Force, Wang Dong felt completely refreshed; his skin became more lustrous, his eyes brighter, and his handsome, pretty little face was flushed, indescribably cute.

It seemed the benefits were quite obvious. Su Yu didn't feel any heartache; actually, there was nothing to feel heartache about, anyway, it was a gift for Dong'er.

When the morning sunlight illuminated the sky, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes and woke from his sleep.

That night, Su Yu didn't really sleep; he had been closing his eyes and resting his mind. His current Spirit Power really didn't need sleep, and even the effect of meditation was better than sleep.

When Wang Dong woke up, he found that Su Yu had already prepared breakfast and was sitting by the bed, quietly watching him.

"Stop spacing out, there's a tough battle to fight today." Su Yu dotingly pinched Wang Dong's nose, then gently fed Wang Dong his breakfast.

The scene was incomparably beautiful, but to outsiders, it always seemed a bit incongruous...

Wang Dong's face became redder and redder, and even when food residue appeared on the corner of his mouth, Su Yu would gently wipe it for him. These actions one after another made Wang Dong fall into deep thought...

Should I, really, or should I not...
