Chapter 73 Shrek's Delinquents
After all the formalities were over, Su Yu slowly returned to the stands.
Su Yu now possesses his own unique arrogance. He is no longer the ordinary boy he once was. Only when he is in a foreign land can he understand the longing for his homeland and the pride of an indelible faith from his soul!
Su Yu had no interest in watching the first battle, so he dragged his mentally exhausted body to where Wang Yan was.
Seeing Wang Yan's slightly furrowed brows, Su Yu asked, "Teacher Wang, do we really have a chance of winning this time?"
"Su Yu, although I know we are in a difficult situation, you must trust the academy's decision. Once the academy's reinforcements arrive, we won't face any major difficulties." Although Wang Yan was a little nervous, he still chose to trust the academy.
For Shrek Academy's glory, the academy will definitely send reinforcements this time!
However, Su knew that Wang Yan had set countless flags before the competition started; he was practically covered in flags, practically a stage for a performance.
During their conversation, Wang Yan expressed little hope for the team in this competition. Although they believed in the strength of Huo Yuhao and his six reserve teams, Wang Yan really didn't know how to calm himself down in the current situation.
The first match proceeded as scheduled, and as the seven people walked at the forefront, the arena erupted in cheers like a tsunami once again.
Shrek's brilliance truly lives up to its reputation!
With both sides in position, the referee announced in a deep voice, "First round, elimination tournament, team battle. Both sides may use most soul tools in the competition. However, if one side concedes during the battle, the other side may not continue attacking. Soul masters may not use high-damage equipment such as fixed soul tools in combat. Do you all understand?"
The referee, standing in the center of the arena, slowly raised his right hand. At that moment, the Xingluo Square, with its hundreds of thousands of people, fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the vast playing field.
One hundred and eight metal pillars simultaneously shone brightly, and instantly, beams of white light shot into the sky, tracing arcs as they converged in the air. They ultimately gathered twenty meters above the arena.
When all 108 beams of light converged, a white light curtain descended, enveloping the entire arena. The protective shield was complete. This also meant that the first match of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was about to begin.
Seeing this, Su knew there was nothing more to see. Unless another transmigrator appeared on the other side, there was no way they could escape Huo Yuhao's great deception soul skill.
Six 100,000-year spirit rings—no one could withstand that.
Sure enough, when Huo Yuhao stepped forward alone, he successfully drew everyone's attention to him. In that instant, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of pride for the first time. This was his moment!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's actions, not only was Wang Yan dumbfounded, but even the referee was a little dumbfounded.
Huo Yuhao's actions were completely illogical; was he going to fight seven people at once?
Each tournament is hosted by a powerful empire, a time for the nation to showcase its strength to the outstanding talents from various academies. Naturally, they would spare no effort. But this referee had never seen a team battle conducted in this formation before! He even forgot to lower his raised right hand.
"Referee, can we begin?" Huo Yuhao said calmly to the referee.
Only then did the referee realize what was happening and announce the start of the match.
When everything was ready, an indescribable sense of terror suddenly appeared on the competition stage.
The crimson light illuminated the entire arena in an instant. An atmosphere filled with chilling coldness, cruelty, slaughter, madness, and other terrifying elements suddenly erupted.
One, two, three, four, five, six. All six blood-red spirit rings appeared on Huo Yuhao, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, but was actually only twelve.
Good heavens, you're really going to kill people!
Looking at the six 100,000-year spirit rings that exuded a terrifying aura, Huo Yuhao undoubtedly became the focus of the entire arena, and even the focus of this continent-wide advanced spirit master academy competition!
The simultaneous appearance of six 100,000-year soul rings on one person is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. A cacophony of gasps erupted from hundreds of thousands of people. The deafening sound was simply too intense. Even the Emperor, Empress, and all the civil and military officials of the Star Luo Empire atop the city walls rose to their feet in shock.
Looking at the seven people opposite him who were stunned, Su Yu felt that there was no need to watch any longer. In the next moment, Huo would definitely use the Ice Emperor's Claw or the Eternal Frozen Domain.
Since Huo Yuhao no longer has a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he will most likely use Ice Emperor's ultimate technique.
As time went by, everything unfolded as Su Yu had predicted. A green light appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, and the Eternal Frozen Domain rapidly expanded. A pair of ice-green scorpions wielding their pincers swept everyone away, and the seven of them were swept off the stage without any resistance!
This time, Huo Yuhao used a little bit of Ice Emperor's original power; otherwise, his own interference soul skill alone would not have been able to suppress the seven people.
In the eyes of those seven people, what they saw was one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!
The pressure from Hyotei is not something that a few humans can withstand, let alone the group of brats on the other side. Their strength is not even comparable to Ling Luochen's. Even if they surpassed Ling Luochen, they still could not withstand the pressure from Hyotei.
Because this is the pride of the Heavenly King of the Far North, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!
Huo, who was as arrogant as the wind, stood with his hands behind his back, as aloof as a wolf in the desert, his eyes filled with pride.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's pretentious manner, Su couldn't help but admit his inferiority. The protagonist is indeed the protagonist; even his pretentiousness is natural, and he doesn't need to be taught!
Pretentiousness is like the wind, always with me. I, Su, have learned a lot today!
At this moment, Huo Yuhao calmly said to the referee who was standing to the side, completely dumbfounded, "The match is over."
"Huh?" Even the referee didn't react in time. After looking at the seven people who had already flown out of the ring, he announced the result of the match.
The Star Luo Square, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators, including the Star Luo Empire's royal family, civil and military officials, and more than a hundred other advanced soul masters and soul master academies, was completely silent at this moment.
After a brief silence came a roar like a tsunami. They were in awe, they were afraid, but at the same time they were overwhelmed with excitement!
Huo Yuhao slowly turned around, facing the bustling Star Luo Square to the south, and said in a deep voice, "Please remember, I come from Shrek Academy, from the Tang Sect!"
Seeing Huo's arrogant demeanor reaching its peak, Su had no choice but to turn around and leave.
"Damn it, look at your mother's slut, I'm not watching anymore. I curse you to get struck by lightning for showing off!"
Without any hesitation, Su turned and left. Su Yu knew that Huo had more to say, so he was just using Huo's name as a pretext to maintain the facade for as long as possible.
When Su Yu returned home, his spiritual energy had dried up again, and his daily activity time was clearly becoming limited. Now he only hoped that Old Master Yi would wake up soon, otherwise he would be unable to accomplish anything in his current state, and would be like a useless person.
At this moment, Su Yu was immersed in the sea of consciousness, quietly waiting for the spiritual power within it to recover.
However, at that moment, he saw a dragon in his spiritual sea!
Holy crap, there's a dragon living in my head!
This startled Su Yu quite a bit. When Su approached with trepidation, he found that it seemed to be just a phantom, completely devoid of any signs of life, or even the slightest mental fluctuation.
Damn it, this is absolutely terrifying! If it's not real, what kind of international joke are you playing on me?!
Despite his complaints, Su still remembered that back then, because of his inherent pride, he vaguely saw a giant dragon from the East. If he hadn't been interrupted by others, he knew he could have seen more information.
As for why this phantom image of the Ancestral Dragon of China appeared in his mind, perhaps there really are some secrets, just like the changes that occurred to his Martial Soul when he transmigrated, or even the Ancestral Dragon Soul he sees now.
Su has always firmly believed in the existence of the First Emperor. Just as the West still worships gods and believes that God will bring them everything, the ancient sages of the East had long ago made their descendants understand what it means for man to conquer nature!
But the legend and totem that has never ceased from ancient times to the present is the dragon!
"Forget it, you can't say for sure. Let's just treat it as a dream."
Su paid no attention and quietly exited the Sea of Spirit, then fell into a coma. He was too tired, and this fatigue stemmed from his mental state.
…………
Listen to the clouds and the bright moon whispering, and gaze at the countless glittering stars in the sky.
When Su Yu woke up, it was already completely dark. At this time, even the Shrek Seven Devils were resting.
"Young master, there are two people who claim to be your friends and want to see you." At this moment, a maid walked in from outside and stepped forward to speak.
"Let them in. Remember what they look like. If you encounter them again, be sure to give them a proper welcome, understand?"
Su Yu casually tossed out a sentence and got up to meet the two at the door. Only Wang Dong and He Caitou knew where Su Yu was staying.
"Su Yu, are you alright? I heard from my older brother that your mental strength has always been..." Wang Dong asked with some concern, holding Su Yu's shoulder.
"I'm fine, I'm alright for now. I should be able to recover after a period of rest. If it really doesn't work, I can go to the academy and ask a teacher for treatment."
Su Yu gently patted Wang Dong's hand, indicating that he was in good condition and there was nothing to worry about.
However, when He Caitou handed over a bunch of cigars of varying thicknesses and lengths, the muscles on Su's face twitched slightly.
Because Su thought of something: He Caitou's four soul curses...
I have a thick cigar, I have a big cigar, I have a long cigar, I have a thin cigar...
Not only that, Su also thought of another scenario.
If the plot hadn't changed, there definitely would have been a scene like this, a classic moment that could be described as stepping on the gas and getting on the highway.
However, looking at Su Yu's somewhat strange expression, Wang Dong and He Caitou simultaneously thought of the evil scene from earlier that day.
At that moment, because everyone was laughing at him, He Caitou became angry and embarrassed. He suddenly turned around and stuffed the big cigar into Xu Sanshi's mouth, who was laughing happily.
Xu Sanshi's smile froze instantly. No one knew how He Caitou did it, but a flame appeared on his right hand, lighting the other end of his cigar.
Just as he was speaking, Xu Sanshi suddenly let out a soft "Eh." At the same time, he took the thick cigar out of his mouth. Then he actually took a deep drag and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, instantly filling the conference room with a strong aroma of tobacco.
"Great stuff! It's invigorating and refreshing; a couple of puffs really feel good."
Beibei laughed heartily from the side and said, "Yeah! How could you be uncomfortable smoking that thick cigar with a turnip in your mouth?"
…………
"Ahem, brother, let's talk inside." Su Yu coughed a few times to avoid embarrassment.
Despite his seemingly upright appearance, Bei is no good either. This guy knows more than Xu Sanshi. He appears sunny and handsome on the surface, but he's secretly a sly and incompetent person. He's good for nothing but driving!
After Wang Dong and He Caitou sat down in the hall, He Caitou slowly said, "Because your problem is mental, I can only give you my 'Invigorating Cigar,' that's the only thing I can do to help you."
Taking the cigar from He Caitou, Su Yu subconsciously asked, "Does anyone else know about Brother He's soul skills?"
Wang Dong, who was standing nearby, quickly replied, "Of course we all know. Senior Xu Sanshi almost got into a fight with Brother Bei Bei because of this. It was something like he was saying something about how uncomfortable it was to have a cigar in his mouth. Then everyone laughed. If Teacher Wang Yan hadn't pulled him back, Senior Xu Sanshi would have almost gotten into a fight with Brother Bei Bei."
"puff……"
Su spat a mouthful of water all over the table, almost splashing it on Wang Dong. Su could only hold his forehead and sigh indifferently.
Once you form a preconceived notion about something, it will never be the same again. Right now, three bizarre images are flashing through Su's mind.
One was Huo Yuhao showing off on the field with a cigar dangling from his lips; another was a group of people with cigars in their mouths and wearing sunglasses, competing like gangsters; and the last one was Xu Sanshi holding a bottle of kidney tonic, saying, "One bottle refreshes the mind, two bottles keep you from getting tired forever..."
Actually, this isn't the most absurd thing. What I'm worried about is Dai Yueheng carrying the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, smoking a cigar, wearing sunglasses, and asking the other party: "Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?"
…………
Although the imagery was so vivid, Su still knew the situation well. He Caitou didn't say much, gave a brief explanation, and then went back.
As for Wang Dong, he was determined to stay and take care of Su Yu. His determination was so strong that Su Yu couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard he tried.
Holding Su Yu's hand, Wang Dong led Su Yu to sit on the rooftop, gazing at the dazzling night sky.
Wang Dong rested her head on Su Yu's shoulder, and the two sat quietly like that. Su Yu did nothing out of line, but simply held Wang Dong gently in his arms.
Dong'er is Dong'er, and she can never be Wu Tong...
"If I become a different person in the future, will you still take care of me like this?" Wang Dong opened his eyes and looked into Su Yu's eyes, asking this question at some point.
Gently pinching Wang Dong's cheek, Su Yu smiled and said, "Silly boy, you are you. How could you become someone else? If you did become someone else, I would do everything in my power to find you."
"Really?" Wang Dong's eyes were filled with shock. He seemed unable to believe that such a thing could come from a young boy.
Releasing his grip on Wang Dong, Su Yu slowly stood up, gazing at the bright full moon, and said softly, "All I care about is you, so I believe that you won't change, Wang Dong. You will always be you, now and in the future."
Looking back under the moonlight, Su Yu gave Wang Dong a pale, bloodless, sickly smile.
It's just unknown whether, years later, when Wang Dong looks back, he will still remember this night when they made promises to each other. Of course, that's a question for another time...
The stars shone brightly, and the wind blew and cicadas chirped softly. The two leaned against each other quietly, without saying a word or making any unnecessary movements.
However, the good times didn't last long. Before this beautiful scene could last for long, a blue-gold light burst forth from between Wang Dong's eyebrows, almost knocking Su Yu off the roof. If Wang Dong hadn't hurriedly suppressed the power, Su Yu, in his current state, would probably have really fallen to his death from that hundred-meter-high building.
At the same time, a certain being in the divine realm suddenly opened his eyes, frowned slightly, then silently put down the trident of Poseidon in his hand and sighed leisurely.
"Fortunately, it's just some fluctuations in the sea of consciousness; there's nothing else for me to worry about." The blue-haired man sitting in the main hall put away the trident of Poseidon, and then everything returned to its usual calm.
Damn it, are you a sore loser? If you can't handle it, then sit at the same table as a dog!
Su Yu looked helplessly at the faintly visible trident pattern of Poseidon between Wang Dong's eyebrows, wanting to say something, but held back.
Although the three people did not know what had happened, Su Yu guessed that unless Wang Dong's mental state fluctuated drastically, it would be impossible for him to trigger an attack.
Wang Dong helped Su Yu up with an apologetic expression, and said guiltily, "Su Yu, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, I know you're not that kind of person. You just need to take care of your health in the future, and you can't let your soul power go berserk like this again."
The original romantic mood under the moon and flowers has been ruined by this, and it has become utterly tasteless.
The next day.
As the sunlight shone on Su Yu, he slowly stood up and went to wake up Wang Dong, who was resting in the guest room, since this guy liked to sleep in.
Thank you for the donations from seniors, Brother Nuo who loves life, and Storm Dragon God.
Thank you, Ah Wu, for the monthly pass!
