Chapter 95: New Team Captain Su Yu
"Brother He, that's only natural. Next time, I'll find a place for you to try out its power as well."
As he spoke, Su Yu casually placed the two Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons into his Storage Soul Guidance Device and tossed it aside, seemingly not giving the matter a second thought.
In reality, the price of these items was already worth over ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. It wasn't just a matter of design; the most important thing was that Su Yu had specifically modified them. Although their service life was not long, their power was significantly greater than the original.
Xiao Xiao looked at the wealthy and imposing Su Yu, a flash of envy crossing her eyes.
"Vice Class Monitor, why don't you prepare a set of suitable Soul Guidance Devices for me as well..."
Xiao Xiao said, full of anticipation.
Under Su Yu's cost-no-object treatment, Xiao Xiao had regained her ability to move, but she still needed to recuperate, so she could only let He Cai Tou accompany her in the spectator area.
"You should ask Brother He for that. He is a Level 4 Soul Engineer, after all. When it comes to accomplishments in Soul Guidance Devices, he is much more capable than I am."
Su Yu smiled and pulled He Cai Tou to his side, and then the group returned to the Star Emperor Hotel in a peaceful atmosphere.
However, in another room at the Star Emperor Hotel, Huo was still experiencing the painful yet pleasurable second suppression of the Evil Fire. It was just that this time, Huo Yuhao did not consume too much energy, and the suppression went exceptionally smoothly. But when Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao walked out of the room holding hands, everyone's smiles carried a knowing implication.
"That, I..."
Ma Xiaotao had just started to speak when the group instantly scattered, leaving only Su Yu standing quietly in place, watching Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao, whose faces were still flushed with shyness.
"Senior Sister, the current situation is something you understand clearly, so there is no need for too much explanation. Yu Hao possesses Extreme Ice, which is of huge help in suppressing your Evil Fire. Moreover, this was specifically entrusted by Dean Yan, so please do not take it to heart."
Su Yu's smile was very official, and he specifically emphasized the words "Dean Yan." Before leaving, he waved to Huo Yuhao to signal him.
Watching Su Yu's departing back, along with the somewhat strange smiles on everyone's faces, Huo Yuhao only felt that the trend of how things were developing was becoming increasingly wrong...
Ma Xiaotao was also somewhat dazed. Su Yu's words seemed to make sense, but the group's smiles made her instinctively feel that something was wrong. Upon closer thought, however, she felt as if there were no problems at all.
Actually, there is a saying by a certain "San" that is quite correct: a boy's growth can never be separated from women—mothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives, daughters—in a man's life, their presence can never be missing.
If Ma Xiaotao was a big sister in the original work, then this time, without outside interference, it would be a perfect opportunity for Huo.
Thinking about it carefully, Huo's attachment to his mother was truly too profound. One really doesn't know if he is a poor child who lost his mother, or if he has been a youth who never grew up from beginning to end?
After returning home, Su Yu had already begun to try forging with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. But when Wang Dong happened to pass by, he asked, "How do you know the Clear Sky Sect's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique? Isn't this a secret technique that the Clear Sky Sect does not pass on to outsiders?"
"I know. Teacher Xiao Ya taught it to me. This hammer technique is also circulated within the Tang Sect."
Perhaps, it is estimated that the setting was "eaten" once; in the original text, there was absolutely no trace of this hammer technique appearing, yet it was indeed written about once.
Regardless of whether it's a loophole or not, once it's in my hands, it's my stuff!
Later, Wang Dong didn't believe it and went to find Bei Bei to confirm. Only then did he know it was true, but it was only because Su Yu was also studying in the Soul Guidance Department that he was allowed to learn it; otherwise, this hammer technique was basically reserved for the Sect Master to study.
When Wang Dong returned, Su Yu was already attempting to forge Rare Metal. When it came to forging, he, Su, was ultimately not as good as a professional blacksmith. After multiple failures, he chose to give up, hoping to try and copy the forging processes of other top blacksmiths through time in the future.
There's no help for it; some things ultimately require someone to pave the way for oneself...
The subsequent matches went as everyone expected: the Star Luo National Academy chose to concede. Now, this final match was the showdown with the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Mentioning the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Su Yu clearly remembered that he was still a student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, although it was just another identity. After this, he would probably have to go back and take a look, but the fact that the two identities of Luo Yu and Su Yu could not coexist was ultimately a problem. If there was really no other way, he would have to tell Xuan Ziwen in advance and let him provide cover.
In the Star Emperor Hotel.
"Do you think we can win the match against the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy?" This time, the competition was exceptionally thrilling. Facing the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy tomorrow, even the usually steady Bei Bei lacked confidence.
For a moment, no one answered Bei Bei's words; no one knew how to answer them.
When everyone had arrived one after another, Wang Yan said, "Is everyone here? If everyone is here, let's discuss our tactics."
Just as Wang Yan sat down, Xu Sanshi asked curiously, "Teacher Wang, what exactly was the situation with yesterday's match? I only heard it was an overwhelming victory. How exactly did the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy manage that?"
A bitter smile appeared on Wang Yan's face as he said, "Do you know why I didn't let you watch their matches?"
Xu Sanshi's eyes flickered, "Is it because you were afraid of damaging our confidence?"
Wang Yan said in surprise, "You are quite smart. However, that is only one of the reasons. The other reason is that watching them is useless."
At this point, his voice sank a few degrees, "In this tournament, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is clearly extremely well-prepared. I'll state one situation and you will understand. Because they are our biggest competitors, I have been paying close attention to them since the beginning of the tournament, and I have watched almost every one of their matches. But do you know what I discovered? From the first match until now, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy has never used the same tactics, especially in team battles; the tactics for every match were different. You tell me, what is the use of watching their matches? It would definitely deal a huge blow to your confidence."
At this time, Wang Dong stood up and said, "Even against the most powerful teams before, we have won. Even if they are like us, with a perfect record, I firmly believe that we will win this time as well. What's more, we still have Su Yu."
"Right, Junior Brother's decisions have always allowed us to turn defeat into victory. I believe Junior Brother will lead us to victory!" At this time, Bei Bei also stood up, his eyes burning as he looked at Su Yu.
Wang Yan did not speak. Dai Yaoheng, Ling Luochen, and Ma Xiaotao were all watching quietly.
At this time, Su Yu, who had not spoken from beginning to end, slowly stood up and said, "Sorry, although I also hope we can win, I don't want you to be too blindly confident. Once confidence goes too far, it becomes arrogance. The last time we were arrogant, it already cost us a heavy price. The reason I am standing up now is that I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of your seniors."
"What you said is not wrong. Setting that aside for a moment, you are indeed very suitable to be a team leader. Of course, I also want to know how you made the split-second decision to have Xu Sanshi use Xuanming Displacement to swap me out?" Just then, Ma Xiaotao, who was sitting beside Huo Yuhao, spoke up.
Her words were even more intimidating than Wang Yan's, because she was the captain of this team.
"Junior Brother Su Yu, tell us about it." Not to mention Ma Xiaotao, even Ling Luochen on the side became interested.
From beginning to end, this junior brother who neither contended nor showed off always played an important role time and time again. It must be said that there were too many mysteries about Su Yu. It made people unable to resist wanting to solve the puzzles and get to the bottom of it.
Whether it was Ma Xiaotao or Dai Yaoheng, if one were to truly talk about being convinced by Su Yu, it had to be those two guys—one almost became a "Heavenly Crippled Leg," and the other almost died without a whole corpse.
Su Yu raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down, "I want to say that in terms of my understanding of Soul Guidance Devices, none of you present are my equal. From start to finish, I was observing the changes in Xu Jiujiu's moves, so judging the Soul Guidance Device the opponent was using is basic knowledge for a Soul Engineer."
"Additionally, I still want to remind everyone: no matter what our opponents are like, I still hope everyone can face our opponents squarely."
After finishing, Su Yu slowly sat down and retreated to Wang Dong's side once again.
At this time, Dai Yaoheng, who had been silent, also said, "I agree with Su Yu's words. Actually, regardless of whether we understand the opponent or not, in the end, the other side will never give us time to adapt. I actually think it would be better to leave the command of this battle to Su Yu."
"Then what are your opinions?" Wang Yan looked around at everyone; he wanted to know their opinions on Su Yu.
"I agree!" Wang Dong immediately answered. Regarding Su Yu, he had always been completely at ease.
"I also agree."
"I also agree..."
…………
In the end, it was passed unanimously. The only one who held a dissenting opinion was Su Yu himself, but since the minority must submit to the majority, Su Yu had no way to refuse...
On the city walls of Star Luo City.
"I didn't expect that you would actually lose. Are you convinced by the loss?" The Star Luo Emperor smiled slightly. Mentioning that battle, the figure of that little fellow Su Yu appeared in his mind.
Xu Jiujiu said coquettishly, "I am not convinced. If it weren't for that guy taking advantage of a loophole, how could he have won? What's more, the opponent's Soul Emperor was already trapped. Who knew that in that short amount of time, someone would actually notice and use Xuanming Displacement to swap the opponent's Soul Emperor out!"
"A loss is a loss; what is there to be unconvinced about? Even if you trapped the opponent's Soul Emperor, don't forget that on their side, there was still a Soul Emperor, as well as a Control System Soul King comparable to a Soul Emperor. Not to mention that little fellow with the two Energy Gathering Soul Guidance Cannons. With their strength, it was enough to drag it out until the one who was trapped came out. Shrek is Shrek, and what's more, they didn't even come out with their strongest lineup this time."
Gazing at the location of the Star Emperor Hotel, this Emperor of Star Luo actually wore a look of slight nostalgia.
One wonders just how profound that romance of the Emperor of Star Luo was back then, for him to be unable to forget it even now.
Calculating carefully, the Emperor of Star Luo is in his forties; pushing back thirty years, that woman still chose to remain in the Inner Court, so by age, she should be one of the elder masters of the Sea God Pavilion.
As for whether it is Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er, it is unclear, but even if it is not, it should still be one of the elder masters in the Sea God Pavilion...
While the strength of the Star Crown Sect is indeed formidable, the direct lineage of the Star Crown Sect is exceptionally sparse; the only ones who can inherit the Star Crown Martial Soul are the two lone sprouts, Emperor of Star Luo Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu.
Although Dai Yaoheng did not suggest that everyone watch the match of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Su Yu still had everyone go to observe that battle.
It must be said that their battle truly highlighted the correct way to use Soul Guidance Devices; the use of Soul Guidance does not lie in using what powerful Soul Guidance Device, but rather in using the appropriate Soul Guidance Device in the appropriate place, especially in Ma Rulong's battle, which seemingly had nothing particularly outstanding about it.
Yet his battle could only be described with the four words: flowing clouds and moving water.
The defeat of Di'ao Academy also destined the meeting of these old rivals; the battle between the ten-thousand-year first and second place—for years, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy had been preparing to defeat Shrek for who knows how long, and repeated failures only made them more courageous with every setback.
Actually, speaking impartially, Su Yu quite admires their perseverance; in truth, the Sun Moon Empire has already won.
Because the Sun Moon Empire is facing the gathering place of the top geniuses of the Three Great Empires, as well as the foundation Shrek has built over tens of thousands of years.
Being able to achieve that level is actually already quite good.
After returning home, Su Yu's mind was filled with that Heavy Soul Guidance Armor worn on the body; in fact, the true Soul Guidance Device is the prototype of the Battle Armor. Originally, the Battle Armor was written quite well, but the later six-character Battle Armor was truly absurd...
Putting down the Life Carving Knife in his hand, this knife now has a brand-new name: Blade of Judgment.
Although this Engraving Knife appears to be an ordinary Engraving Knife in Su Yu's hands, it has long since become the nemesis of all Soul Guidance Devices; when necessary, as long as Su Yu can borrow the Spirit Power of Yi Lao, he can also cut through all Soul Guidance Devices.
However, just as Su Yu put down the Engraving Knife, Wang Dong's expression was a bit abnormal; his face was flushed red, and there was undisguisable surprise in his pair of beautiful, large eyes.
"Su Yu, Su Yu, come with me quickly, I think I've discovered a new soul skill!"
Wang Dong pulled Su Yu along without a word and ran outside, not stopping until they reached a wide-open, empty space.
"Wang Dong, what soul skill did you discover? Let me see."
At the mention of a new soul skill, Su Yu subconsciously thought of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but up until now, Wang Dong has had no contact with Huo Yuhao, so where would a Martial Soul Fusion Skill come from?
Could it be an autonomous Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
