Chapter 117 On the Self-Cultivation of Actors (2)
Even Xiao Hongchen shamelessly said, "You all need to go back and digest today's lesson properly. This student, Luo Yu, fully demonstrated what a Soul Master should do in combat. There is still a lot for you to learn in the future."
This guy really has the guts to eat that. If I hadn't gone through this whole charade with you two siblings, I probably would have been beating you up right now.
You brat, how dare you lecture me like this? Are you trying to teach me how to do things?
Complaints aside, we can't neglect our business.
They are, after all, our own students. Since they have been poisoned by Meng Hongchen, we naturally need to find a cure.
To maximize the effect, Su Yu inhaled the poisonous mist one last time, and was carried away to receive an antidote when the poison took hold.
Meng Hongchen also suspected that Su Yu was pretending to admit defeat in order to hide his strength. However, when she saw Su Yu, who had been poisoned, being carried over, she immediately dispelled her doubts. She was confident that, apart from Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy, no one could withstand her poison!
This pride stems from her powerful martial spirit and her own formidable strength!
However, unbeknownst to him, even if Su Yu was poisoned by her cold poison, he had a way to remove it from his body, because his current physical condition was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
The immense life force contained in the original Life Gold still resides within Su Yu's body. Even the most potent toxins are external forces. Unless the toxin is terrifyingly potent, it is impossible for it to wreak havoc within Su Yu's body. Even if it cannot be neutralized, Su Yu can use his life force to expel it.
Of course, all of this is based on Su Yu's subjective will. If Su Yu hadn't wanted to, it would have been impossible for him to be in this state of poisoning.
When Su Yu recovered from the pain of the poisoning, this teaching and lecture session came to an end.
Clearly, Su Yu's performance this time won the hearts of the two siblings. After this experience, Su Yu knew that as long as he performed well in the end-of-month assessment, his future study location would no longer be in Experimental Zone 4.
After the training camp ended, Su Yu returned to the laboratory and sat quietly at the table, thinking about future strategies.
If nothing unexpected happens, now that I've demonstrated my strength, as long as I can get in touch with the siblings Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, I might be able to find out the exact location of Laboratory One.
"Looks like we have plenty of time. Let's just wait for Poisonous Dead to come and rob us."
Su Yu was quietly packing his things, preparing to get up and leave, when Monroe called him back.
Monroe looked at Su Yu with a broad smile and said, "Luo Yu, I heard you performed very well today. Even the hall master's grandson and granddaughter praised you as a promising talent. You certainly didn't let me down. Not bad, not bad at all. You certainly didn't disappoint my expectations."
The old man looked at Su Yu with increasing satisfaction. Among all the students he had taught, Su Yu was one of the most talented students he had ever encountered.
Of course, since Monroe had praised him so highly, he couldn't refuse such a compliment, so he had to say something nice in return.
Now that I am Luo Yu, I naturally need to understand human relationships and social customs, unlike Ji Juechen who only understands human relationships and worldly affairs...
"Thank you for your praise, teacher. I am very grateful for your guidance. Without your guidance, I would never have made such rapid progress."
You have to put on a good show, just like those boring banquets back then. Even if you hate the other party, you have to go through with it for the sake of your family and the interests behind the banquet.
The Su Yu character he is currently playing is an ordinary young man who is pursuing more powerful soul guidance knowledge.
"Ms. Monroe, I firmly believe I will pass this month's assessment!"
Monroe looked at the spirited young man before him, nodded in satisfaction, and then handed him an identity card, saying, "This is Xiao Hongchen's request for you. He told me to tell you that if you can pass the core verification in the second month, you can take this identity card to Experiment Zone One to find him."
As he took the identity card, a hint of joy subtly appeared in Su Yu's eyes.
The objective has been achieved; it seems this crackdown on match-fixing has yielded some results after all...
Since that's the case, then I have to prepare properly, otherwise how can I live up to your kindness?
Mingde Hall.
"Grandpa, today in Mingde Hall, we encountered a commoner named Luo Yu. Although he's only a level four Soul Master, he was able to fight Meng Hongchen to a standstill in a short time, and even subtly suppress him!"
Although Xiao Hongchen is usually arrogant, he is still very proper in front of Jing Hongchen.
Jing Hongchen slowly turned around, looking at her grandson and granddaughter in front of her. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say, "Tell me what happened back then, the more detailed the better."
As one of the combatants, Meng Hongchen was naturally in charge of giving the narration, while Xiao Hongchen occasionally added to it. When they finished speaking, Jing Hongchen's brows furrowed slightly.
His intuition told him that this boy named Luo Yu was definitely not simple, and everything seemed to be a strange coincidence.
Where exactly did the problem lie?
Jing Hongchen carefully searched for Luo Yu's information in his mind, but found that everything was normal. He could not find any loopholes in the information they had collected.
"Could it be that our Sun Moon Empire has truly produced a genius Soul Master?"
Jing Hongchen was somewhat worried. In fact, he knew all too well that Shrek Academy was a lingering shadow in his heart. Every preparation for the major competition and every crushing defeat made the Sun Moon Empire desperately need a victory.
Even if it's just once! Defeating Shrek just once would be a momentous achievement worthy of being written into history!
Jing Hongchen's expression was complex, and his thoughts were even more complicated. He held Luo Yu's information tightly in his hand and finally spoke, "Then let's give it a try. If he is really as you say, perhaps you can defeat Shrek Academy together in the competition five years from now!"
Defeat Shrek!
This is the long-cherished wish of all of them, and the goal they have always dreamed of!
There are geniuses in Shrek Academy, and there are also geniuses in Mingde Hall. As long as they are nurtured, they may not be inferior to Shrek Academy!
On this confidential document, an unfamiliar name appeared that night.
Falling feathers...
Shrek, Dormitory 108.
Wang Dong pouted, propped his chin up, and sat in front of the seat where Su Yu often sat to design soul tool blueprints, sighing with a worried expression.
"Sigh, if I had told you what your choice was back then, would you still have stayed?"
Wang Dong hugged Su Yu's blanket, curled up on her own bed, and glistening tears welled up in her eyes.
"I remember you once said that your choice was the path of soul guidance. But do you know what I wrote in Elder Mu's hands..."
"Actually, it is..."
"Your name..."
Su Yu!
I tilted my head slightly back and gazed at the bright, full moon outside the window.
Perhaps, all Wang Dong hoped for was for Su Yu to be by her side.
Now the truth has finally come out. It turns out that Wang Dong's choice back then was only for Su Yu as a person, and never for any sect, student, or soul master!
"It seems a little girl is thinking of you. I can feel your mind trembling; you're suppressing it."
Elder Yi's voice drifted over, and an old man in white robes slowly walked out of a portal of light into Su Yu's sea of consciousness.
Watching Elder Yi slowly approach, Su Yu immersed himself in his spiritual sea and said, "Ever since that Martial Soul Fusion, I've been able to faintly sense her emotions. But did I have a choice?"
Su Yu smiled wryly, "If we could live carefree lives in the academy like we did back then, who would want to live a life of constant wandering and anxiety?"
"Actually, compared to them, you have many choices, but this little girl is probably someone important. If you really want to, you'll be in for a lot of trouble..." Old Master Yi said with a kind smile.
Su Yu carefully felt the tremors of the sea of spirit. He could feel the loneliness and longing, as well as the faint sadness.
Though separated by thousands of miles, it feels like we're worlds apart...
Perhaps that's what he's talking about now. If Su Yu wanted to, he could travel thousands of miles and return to Shrek Academy and Dormitory 108 in just one day.
"Study hard. I'll reappear when you've truly figured things out. Actually, you already know the answer in your heart what to do. You're a unique person, aren't you? You should understand what it means to make choices."
Electrolux disappeared again, returning to the Eye of Fate.
Su Yu took out the left palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from his hand. Instead of merging it into his body to absorb, he still chose to let the fragmented martial soul absorb the soul bone.
The next day.
Su Yu slowly stood up. At this moment, his aura rose to a new level. The left palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear gave him a new soul skill, Dark Gold Terrorclaw!
With a thought, his hands can transform into dark gold claws, unleashing the powerful attack of the Dark Gold Claw Bear. If Su Yu is strong enough, it's not impossible for a single claw strike to create a hundred-foot claw mark that pierces the air.
Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to expose this kind of attack method. After all, once someone who knows its value recognizes it, and given your current situation, you might be killed and robbed.
Today finally marks the first monthly assessment for Su Yu's Mingde Hall. This assessment is based on Monroe's teachings. Although a certain foundation is required, it poses no pressure for Su Yu, who is currently wholeheartedly studying soul tools.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Su Yu passed the assessment with the highest score among the fourth-level Soul Masters.
Being number one also comes with rewards; Su Yu received a complete design blueprint for a level six soul tool, just as he had hoped.
This design drawing is for a baby bottle, but it's not like a regular baby bottle. After careful study, Su Yu discovered that it was actually a semi-finished product of a closed baby bottle designed by Xuan Ziwen.
Although it is a semi-finished product, its role should not be underestimated. Since Xuan Ziwen provided the ideas, Su Yu could have perfected it even without Xuan Ziwen's help, since the two of them are thinking on completely different levels.
To put it nicely, I'm an adult; times have changed.
To put it bluntly, it's a dimensional reduction attack...
After Su Yu completed the assessment, ranking first among the fourth-level Soul Masters, he ran into several acquaintances.
Laughing at the world, dreaming of the world, and their captain, Ma Rulong.
Ma Rulong's aura was still somewhat weak, clearly indicating that he had been seriously injured by Su Yu and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
In fact, it's not just soul power that's burning, but also spiritual power and life force...
"You must be the Luo Yu that Xiao Hongchen mentioned?" Ma Rulong stepped forward and stood in front of Su Yu.
Su Yu nodded and asked, "Is there something you need from me, senior?"
Ma Rulong wasn't one to beat around the bush, and he spoke directly: "I've heard Meng Hongchen talk about your battles, but that doesn't mean you'll be the same in the future. So you must not let the academy down. If you are strong enough, five years from now, you too will take our place, stand on the field, and fight for the Sun Moon Empire!"
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I, Luo Yu, will always keep it in mind."
Su Yu feigned excitement and spoke seriously.
"Starting today, your study area will be moved from Experiment Zone 4 to Experiment Zone 3. This is your new ID card. If you achieve first place in next month's assessment, you will be transferred to Experiment Zone 1."
Ma Rulong updated Su Yu's identity card. Mingde Hall is a place with strict hierarchy, and it is guarded by a level nine soul master. Its capital is also a huge soul guidance formation, which is enough to show the power of Mingde Hall.
However, while it was not as good as the best, it was more than enough compared to the worst. Even the Heavenly Soul Empire, which had the Body Sect as its leader, was instantly destroyed by the Sun and Moon Empire with overwhelming force.
Even if a level 98 peak Douluo is incredibly powerful, he still cannot change the overall trend, because he is ultimately just a mortal...
In other words, it was a crushing war waged by the Sun Moon Empire in the later period that completely laid the foundation for the future development trend of soul tools.
After accepting the new identity card, Su Yu watched the three leave. Just as they were about to disappear, Xiao Hongchen waved to him.
Alright, this time you can even get into Experiment Zone No. 1. You'd better step up your game this time, you're practically letting a wolf into the house.
You said it yourself, so I won't hold back. If all else fails, I'll just copy Teacher Xuan's movements when making the soul tool. I don't believe you can even surpass the soul tool made by an eighth-level soul master.
Don't blame me for being unreasonable; blame your leaders for opening the door themselves and letting the wolf in.
The next month would be a busy one for Su Yu. He was confident that this month would be enough for him to become proficient in making level-five soul tools, since not everyone had his terrifying ability to replicate.
Thank you Xun for the monthly pass.
