Chapter 202 My Era
Beibei shook her head and said, "It's no use. Even if you try to negotiate with them, they won't agree. This was an unexpected incident. Whether we fight or not, tomorrow will inevitably be a difficult decision with no other choice. Yuhao, what do you plan to do?"
Huo Yuhao smiled wryly, "On one side is the academy, and on the other side is the Tang Sect. I don't know what to do."
Yes, on one side was the Tang Sect, which carried his hopes and gave him a new life, and on the other side was the academy that educated and raised him.
This is a difficult question, and Beibei doesn't know how to choose if she really has to make a choice.
In his mind, there was only one option: to gather everyone and give the choice to the team members.
Before long, all the team members gathered in the conference room of Mingyue Hotel.
Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao briefly introduced the results of the draw and analyzed the current situation.
"That's roughly how things are. As for how to choose, I'd like to hear your opinions."
Beibei sat in the first seat and asked for everyone's opinions. This situation was really bad. Who could have expected that they would encounter the Shrek team in the draw?
"Senior Brother, what should we do? Should we fight or not?" He Caitou looked helplessly at Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao.
Jiang Nannan frowned, wanting to say something, but in the end, all that remained was a sigh.
This is a difficult choice, or rather...
It's a choice with no solution!
One of them must be sacrificed!
silence……
What followed was a long silence...
"Let's decide by voting." In the end, Tang Ya seemed to have made up her mind, looking at the troubled Bei Bei and the others, and made this decision.
Ultimately, the anonymous vote resulted in all seven members conceding defeat.
"In that case, we'll respect your opinion." Tang Ya wasn't surprised; she knew the stakes involved.
If they choose to fight Shrek Academy, even if they win, it will be a crushing defeat, a lose-lose situation.
It is even highly likely that this mutually destructive outcome will prevent both the academy and the Tang Sect from achieving good results. This is a strategic abandonment, and there are still round-robin matches and loser's bracket revival matches to follow.
With their strength, there's nothing to worry about; after all, they are Shrek's elite.
After this discussion, Beibei subsequently conceded defeat to the competition organizing committee, giving up her chance to advance.
Zhang Lexuan was not surprised by this result, but she was very curious about one thing: if Su Yu had been leading the team this time, what choice would he have made?
To fight or not to fight?
If the fight is initiated, what decision will Su Yu make after agreeing?
"You mean the Tang Sect has chosen to forfeit their match against Shrek Academy?" Xiao Hongchen was somewhat moved upon hearing the announcement from the organizing committee.
Actually, he hoped that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect would fight to the death, which would greatly increase their chances of winning the championship.
Meng Hongchen replied, "Actually, this was expected. After all, the Tang Clan team is from the previous year. Even though Su Yu is gone, they still understand such a simple principle. Brother, how confident are you in defeating the Tang Clan team? Grandpa said you seemed pretty confident."
Xiao Hongchen stroked his stubble and chuckled, "Actually, to be precise, it's not that many, only about 60%. If Su Yu participates, I think our chances of winning this time are only about 40%. Of course, since Su Yu isn't participating, our chances will naturally increase significantly. However, Huo Yuhao is still not to be underestimated. According to our information, he is not only Mu En's disciple, but also the disciple of Du Busi, the sect master of the Body Sect!"
"Doesn't that mean that if we encounter the Shrek Seven Devils, or rather, the Tang Sect's team, it will be quite difficult?" Meng Hongchen's eyes dimmed.
Xiao Hongchen muttered to himself, "Actually, that's not the case. If their team doesn't have any new Martial Soul Fusion Techniques, I think we will definitely win the championship this time."
"Brother, what are you saying? Aren't you just unsure? This time, the focus of the battle isn't on us, so there's no use in worrying. With Luo Yu there, I believe that with our all-out effort, we will definitely achieve final victory! Brother, compared to Luo Yu, you're far inferior. In terms of strength, you can't compare to Luo Yu and Su Yu, and in terms of command, you can't compare to Su Yu and Luo Yu either. Brother, aren't you ashamed of yourself...?"
As she spoke, Meng Hongchen sighed with disappointment, feeling that Luo Yu and Su Yu were like two mountains weighing heavily on her heart.
This is an insurmountable obstacle for Xiao Hongchen. Although he is a disciple of the hall master, among his peers of the same era, Meng Hongchen can be considered a true genius.
However, he suffered one huge blow after another. Su Yu's heroic efforts in the previous competition ultimately shattered their dream of winning the championship at the very last step!
In Mingde Hall, he encountered a junior who had risen to prominence. This junior had initially shown considerable talent in combat, and was later taken in as a disciple by his grandfather, Jing Hongchen. He then learned combat styles from the previous year's students. Just when Xiao Hongchen thought he was merely talented in combat and could become a regular member of the next competition, Luo Yu revealed his powerful soul guidance talent.
In just four years, he went from being a Level 4 Soul Master to a Level 7 Soul Master. If it weren't for the limitation of his Soul Power, Luo Yu might have become a near-Level 8 Soul Master and the youngest Level 8 Soul Master in the history of the Sun Moon Empire!
This is Xiao Hongchen's tragic struggle, a painful struggle where he encountered geniuses one after another!
"Can't you hope for something better? We can win the championship even without Luo Yu. You know the actual situation of the other teams. Besides, humph..." Xiao Hongchen sneered.
Meng Hongchen continued, "It's a shame you've already made a breakthrough. If you still lack confidence, then you truly won't even have a chance to catch up with them. Sigh..."
The brother and sister looked towards the location of the Tang Clan, each with their own thoughts.
"How much longer until I can see you again?" Xiao Hongchen murmured to himself.
"Wang Dong, we will meet again..." Meng Hongchen's eyes were filled with anticipation, longing for that day to arrive...
Wan Jing Zong.
"Professor Xuan, have you made any progress in your research on Number One?" Su Yu asked, sitting in front of Xuan Ziwen, who looked haggard.
Xuan Ziwen shook his head and said, "Although I also hope to make progress, the strength of just our group is still not enough. Even if there is progress, it will be limited. All I can do is try my best to resolve the operational issues of Number One. I thought solving these problems wouldn't be too difficult, but I overestimated myself. It is the pinnacle of thousands of years of soul guidance in the Sun Moon Empire, and it is also the culmination of the hard work of countless soul guide masters in the Sun Moon Empire. If I can perfect it, I will surely usher in a new era of soul guidance! But it's too difficult. Even if I had another ten years, I couldn't do it. One person's contribution is too insignificant..."
The drafts scattered on the ground, along with Xuan Ziwen's confident yet haggard appearance, told Su Yu the answer.
Indeed, although the experiment on number one has made some progress, it is still too difficult for Xuan Ziwen to do it alone. The other soul masters cannot understand the soul guidance array on number one at all.
The Mingde Hall is where all the top soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire are gathered, and where the highest soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire is concentrated, so the research on No. 2 can make rapid progress.
"It's alright, Teacher Xuan, we're not in a hurry. We have plenty of time. If necessary in the future, I think we might be able to cooperate with the Hall Master." Su Yu didn't care about Xuan Ziwen's research progress because even in the Sun Moon Empire, Luo Yu's research was fraught with difficulties. Many times, even if you knew the future development, you still couldn't find a suitable path.
Because you are currently unable to break through the current stage, you can only honestly maintain the status quo until you break through the current stage.
Every person who has ushered in a new era has only had a chance of success by accumulating countless experiences from their predecessors, plus talent, inspiration, luck, and hard work!
"Su Yu, what do you think? If we involve more people, divide the No. 1 experimental subject into countless small parts, and then assign it to different experimental projects, do you think it's possible to solve the problem? Although it might not be useful, all I need is a completely new idea and approach. If someone can come up with it, my research will definitely advance further. If possible, in ten years at most, no more than five, I can get No. 1 officially into practical experiments!"
Xuan Ziwen looked at Su Yu, his eyes filled with hope, as if he had grasped a lifeline.
"Teacher Xuan, I'm afraid this plan won't work..."
Su Yu put a hand to his forehead and couldn't help but sigh.
As things stand, unless Su Yu's soul guidance level surpasses level eight and reaches level nine, there is simply no way for him to make any substantial progress on the first experimental subject.
"Then I'll put the research on Number One on hold for now. It seems that it's too much for me to handle alone..."
Seeing Xuan Ziwen's helpless expression, Su Yu was also in pain, because he was still struggling, and the people on the second side were also busy and overwhelmed.
Xuan Ziwen wasn't the only one suffering; in fact, the one suffering the most was Jing Hongchen.
A few years ago, Mingde Hall was ambushed by the Body Sect, and Su Yu took advantage of the chaos to steal Number One and the Snow Emperor's embryo. If Xu Tianran hadn't chosen to cooperate with Jing Hongchen, Jing Hongchen would have lost even more, and it wouldn't have been as simple as just being scolded by Ze.
Now that things have come to this, Jing Hongchen is genuinely worried that something unexpected might happen on Number Two's side. After all, he learned his lesson from last time, and if something goes wrong again this time, his good days will be over.
"Teacher Xuan, let's get ready. I'll be moving to the Myriad Mirrors Sect soon and starting to recruit disciples. I'll try to recruit mainly Soul Masters. My future plan is actually quite simple: to cooperate with the Hall Master. We may not be as well-established as the Hall Master, but we have achievements in other fields that are ahead of the rest of the world. We want to make use of these achievements in war."
Su Yu tidied up Xuan Ziwen's messy manuscript, then sat down in a chair, pondering his plans.
Xuan Ziwen looked at Su Yu and felt that Su Yu seemed to have different plans. From his initial scheming against him to his later feat of stealing Number One, Xuan Ziwen could guess what Su Yu was plotting. "You plan to establish a huge sect, like a miniature version of Shrek Academy and Mingde Hall?"
Su Yu nodded. This was indeed his plan. "Pretty much. But for now, we can only make a low-key move. It's not the time for us to show our strength yet. After all, I don't have the strength to defeat a Title Douluo yet."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen was shocked. Defeated a Title Douluo?
Su Yu is only a Soul Saint at the moment. Xuan Ziwen estimates that it will take several more years for Su Yu to defeat a Title Douluo. Even Mu En, who was famous throughout the Douluo Continent, did not become a Title Douluo until he was over 20 years old.
"So when do you plan to unseal the Myriad Mirrors Sect? Although you cut off the Myriad Mirrors Sect's connection with the outside world back then, judging from the current situation, the Myriad Mirrors Sect doesn't seem to have been exposed much. Moreover, when the Myriad Mirrors Sect reappears, it will at most be a small sect with abundant resources. Your plan doesn't seem to be about the sect's strength, but rather about using the sect to accomplish a bigger scheme?" Xuan Ziwen briefly summarized the current situation.
Su Yu chuckled and said, "Teacher Xuan is a smart man too. If the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires go to war in the future, what will become of the Myriad Mirror Sect?"
"What do you mean?" Xuan Ziwen hesitated for a moment before asking.
"If the Myriad Mirrors Sect were only established within the Star Luo Empire, then when the Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires went to war, my roommates Eight and Nine would be invited to discuss various matters concerning the sect's expedition. After all, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire was once from a sect, so he naturally understands the sect's rules. However, my idea is very simple. That is..."
At this point, Su Yu paused, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Teacher Xuan, ten thousand years ago, before the Sun Moon Continent drifted over and merged into the Douluo Continent, there was a huge sect on the Douluo Continent. Do you know what it was called?"
Xuan Ziwen's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Are you referring to the Spirit Hall, that massive sect that was once wiped out by the three great empires and ultimately died at the hands of a god?"
"That's right, I'm talking about the Spirit Hall, and my idea is to build a Spirit Hall that belongs to me!"
Yes, that's what I've always thought. When the three great empires and the Sun Moon Empire are fighting in the future, that will be the time for Luo Yu and me to achieve mutual success.
The future will be amazing, because it will truly be my era!
The series "Heavily in Debt"
I'll try my best to update. Okay, meeting adjourned...
