Chapter 81: A Question from His Own Father (Third Update)
Looking at the five people opposite him, Shen Ce knew that he had lost, completely lost.
In the seven-man team battle, he is now the only one left, and he has no chance of winning.
"I concede." Shen Ce knew that there was no point in continuing to fight. When Su Yu appeared on the other side, who could withstand his attacks and disrupt their formation and defense, the victory in this battle had basically tilted completely in their favor.
Moreover, later on, An Lengye and Fei Yuyan on his side were eliminated one after another by the opponent through other methods, leaving him alone with four defensive Soul Masters, who were of no use in turning the tide.
Reality is cruel. If it were the regular players, they would have lost even more miserably. This time, it can only be said that they were unlucky and Su got a stroke of good luck.
Su Yu believed that it wasn't just their opponents who found this unbelievable; their own teammates were definitely the most bewildered.
Huo Yuhao was already uneasy about leaving Su Yu behind to provide support, because he knew that if he took action himself, he could definitely ease the pressure on Su Yu.
The original strategy for this match was to play it safe, but who knew that Su would play by his own rules? The original strategy was completely disrupted by Su Yu's first move. Forget about studying the strategy, the people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy were all dumbfounded.
Want to study tactics? No way!
After returning home, Su quietly sat at home to recuperate. If he was injured, it was internal. Apart from the excessive consumption of his soul power, he suffered some minor internal injuries, but otherwise he was still full of energy.
The next match is the day after tomorrow. The unscrupulous Su is considering whether to use the 2-2-3 strategy, which is basically a bunch of couples showing off their relationship.
If Dou Yi was a super genius who pulled off a stunning upset and delivered a perfect victory, then Dou Er was an early participant who was a god-like figure smoking cigarettes in reverse.
Thinking about it carefully, each one was more outrageous than the last. If this group of guys actually made the regular selections in the future, it would be a pure massacre. However, their journey in the competition was still incredibly bumpy...
Now that you think about it carefully, all that dazzling performance before, and then being ruthlessly overtaken by others, it seems like you've worked hard for five years, only to end up with nothing?
Su Yu didn't intend to listen to Wang Yan's ramblings any longer. If he could get some guidance from Elder Yi, he would definitely avoid so much trouble. If Elder Yi were here, not only would mental interference be useful, but even simulations could be used.
Huo Yuhao's four soul skills are more like advanced methods of using mental power than true soul skills. At Elder Yi's level, what can't he do?
In fact, Wang Dong had also dragged him to listen to part of Wang Yan's meeting. Anyway, everyone's division of labor was very clear: Xu Sanshi was responsible for taking hits and trading one for one, making him the strongest tool in the team.
But what Beibei said next was really unpleasant. Beibei patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder and said, "Alright, stop pretending. You're more afraid of death than anyone else. Others may not know you, but I know you perfectly well. You have plenty of ways to save your life. How about this, if you can withstand this and we achieve final victory, I'll ask Nannan to give you a reward. How about it?"
Any girl would be disgusted by this, let alone Jiang Nannan, whose dislike for Xu Sanshi had already reached a certain level. Jiang Nannan was right, she was not a bargaining chip, much less a commodity for Beibei and the others to trade.
If it weren't for the extraordinary circumstances, Jiang Nannan would have been considered very polite for not fighting with them.
Some jokes are okay to make, but some jokes are really not okay to make...
Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy was also studying Shrek Academy. They didn't need to worry about tactics at all; the only thing they needed to worry about was the person who suddenly appeared today, Su Yu.
"Tell me your thoughts after watching today's match. You'd better pay close attention to that new young player," Old Ma said in a deep voice.
The students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy fell silent, unsure of how to respond. Whether it was Huo Yuhao who appeared at the beginning or Su Yu who suddenly appeared later, they had all put them in an extremely troublesome situation.
One of the regular team members couldn't help but ask, "Old Ma, could that mysterious young man from the Shrek Academy team really be a six-ring Soul Emperor? Also, is that newly appeared young man really a three-ring Soul Master? How could a three-ring Soul Venerable possibly have the strength to go toe-to-toe with a five-ring Soul King?"
Old Ma roared, "Idiot! Is this all you saw? Have you ever heard of any research that could turn all of a Soul Master's Soul Rings into 100,000-year ones? And how old is he? I observed him carefully. Although the boy's figure is fairly tall, you can tell from the immaturity in his eyes that he's probably only around thirteen years old. At that age, even if someone started cultivating from the womb, they wouldn't reach the Soul Emperor level. Shrek Academy must have used some special method to conceal this."
"Also, you mean that guy with the third ring? Have you ever seen a third-ring guy withstand an attack comparable to a sixth-ring Soul Emperor without getting a scratch? Both of these guys used special methods to conceal their cultivation levels, otherwise how could such a scene have occurred?" Old Ma felt his head was in complete chaos.
Although the selected player was somewhat unconvinced, he still continued to ask, "How did that guy with six 100,000-year soul rings manage to defeat seven people by himself? Even though we were on stage, that obvious ice attribute power couldn't be concealed."
At this moment, Captain Ma Rulong spoke up: "Actually, according to common sense, no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible for them to have six spirit rings that are all 100,000 years old at such a young age. If their six spirit rings are fake, then they must have used other methods. In the first day of the competition, all the opponents were stunned, which is very likely because they used other methods. In addition, he himself has ice attribute, so the most likely possibility is that he has twin martial souls."
Even the usually proud Xiao Hongchen deeply admired his words, but Xiao Hongchen did not think Huo Yuhao was a troublesome person.
"If that guy with twin martial souls were truly strong, he wouldn't have just been holding the line in today's battle. If he were strong enough, no one would have been injured. Even if he does have twin martial souls, I'm sure his soul power isn't very high." Xiao Hongchen was someone who refused to admit defeat and didn't want to hear that anyone was stronger than him.
Ma Rulong confidently stated, "In conclusion, I have a fairly accurate assessment. Although I don't know what happened on Shrek's side, don't you think the participants this year are all too young? Judging from their ages, they are practically a reserve team. Although I don't know why they were chosen to participate, this is our only chance."
The only chance?
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly and said, "Is it really impossible for us to defeat Shrek Academy? We've made great progress over the years, and Shrek Academy has always been complacent and looks down on our soul tools. This time, I firmly believe we will win. Even if this year's seniors fail, I will still win the championship for our Sun Moon Empire in the next competition!"
Xiao Hongchen's words may seem arrogant, but he wasn't wrong. The development of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was fraught with difficulties, and even the academy's higher-ups were still stuck in the past. In terms of the development of Soul Guidance Devices, the gap between the two sides was truly measured in years.
The difference could be decades, or even centuries...
Ma Rulong looked at Xiao Hongchen without refuting his statement. Who wouldn't want to defeat Shrek Academy?
"Mr. Ma, have you found any information about those two teenagers?" Ma Rulong asked.
Old Ma reached out and spread a document on the table, saying, "So far, all we know is that the boy with six spirit rings is named Huo Yuhao, and the boy with three spirit rings is named Su Yu."
"Is that all?" Xiao Hongchen picked up the documents, only to find that they were blank except for the names.
…………
In the capital city of Xingluo, the Su family resided.
"Look at you! I told you to study at Shrek Academy, but you insisted on participating in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. What if something happens? From today onwards, you're staying home obediently!" Su's father rudely ordered his men to lock Su Yu in the house.
"I..." Su Yu was about to retort when he found his father sitting quietly opposite him, looking at him with an expression that said, "I'm listening to your sophistry."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' keep going. I'm giving you a chance to argue. Keep going..." Su Xinyuan stared quietly at Su Yu.
Seeing his father's expression, Su Yu knew that nothing he said would make a difference. Forget about participating in the competition; even leaving the house was a big problem for him.
"There's nothing more to argue about, please continue, I'm listening." Su Yu sat down quietly, looking at Su Xinyuan's meaningful expression across from him. Su Yu knew that his father, Su Xinyuan, definitely had something to say.
"That's more like it. I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. I've already stocked up on quite a bit of the stuff you asked me to stock up on last time. Just give me a straight answer: what are you going to do with all this stuff?" Su Xinyuan pulled out the long list that Su Yu had drawn up.
Taking the list, Su Yu looked helplessly at Su Xinyuan and said, "Don't regret saying this, okay?"
"Just say what you want to say, stop with all that nonsense." Su Xinyuan's temper varied from person to person, but he was especially irritable when dealing with his rebellious son, Su Yu.
"A soul-creating tool," Su Yu answered crisply.
"Stop talking nonsense. Are those things of yours for making soul tools? They're practically materials for war machines. I may not be a soul master, but I know more about this than you do. Let's get straight to the point. Our Su family is bigger than you think. What kind of storms haven't we weathered?" Su Xinyuan remained calm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Su Yu spend millions of gold coins on a massive purchase at the treasure appreciation event.
