Chapter 113 The Difference Between Luo Yu and Su Yu
That's a level 5 soul tool!
When a level-five soul tool appeared on Su Yu's body, Si Chen's heart tightened. However, after discovering that it was only a defensive soul tool, he lost his sense of crisis. After all, being able to passively take hits was basically no different from having no combat power. The only difference was the length of time he was being attacked.
"Look, that guy is actually attacking Si Chen!"
"That looks like a super-energy-concentrating soul-guided cannon on his shoulder... wait, something seems off about this guy named Luo Yu!"
After someone said that, everyone's attention turned to Su Yu, who was now constantly switching between using his soul tools.
From the initial disruptive flashbangs to the later soul-guided rays, although the various soul-guided devices were only level three, they were able to suppress Si Chen firmly within a certain space.
Su Yu knew that even if he could be high-profile now, it could only be in a completely new way. Otherwise, once he unleashed his full strength, he would be invited to a friendly exchange by the other team members.
To be more precise, his current fighting style is imitating Ma Rulong. Ma Rulong's fighting style didn't seem particularly flashy, but his use of soul tools was just right. Some seemingly ordinary soul tools could always play an amazing role in his hands.
"Damn it, how come this guy has so many low-level soul tools?" Si Chen, who was frantically dodging in the air, could only make very limited counterattacks. As time went by, her energy was being depleted.
Seeing Si Chen gradually losing his strength, Su Yu finally began to make his move. The previous battles were just a warm-up; the real show was yet to come.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Yu slowly removed the soul tool and threw the sphere in his hand to Ju Zi.
The kindness of being recognized must be repaid.
A longsword made of fragments slowly took shape in Su Yu's hand. Just as Si Chen reacted, a dazzling light burst forth from behind Su Yu, and a pair of flying soul tools with a wingspan of over two meters were instantly activated.
The powerful thrust brought Su Yu and Si Chen closer together. In just one second, Su Yu had advanced dozens of meters and was in front of Si Chen in an instant.
boom!
As a crisp sound rang out, Si Chen stared in surprise at the soul tool in his hand. Both the audience and Si Chen himself were filled with undisguised shock.
The longsword fell, cleaving the soul tool in Si Chen's hand into a pile of scrap metal!
Startled, Si Chen reacted immediately, decisively abandoning her crossbow. To prevent Su Yu from continuing his attack, several black tubes instantly extended from her arm. In a short moment, more than a dozen soul-guided rays were aimed at Su Yu, who was right in front of her.
Su Yu had already fully discerned the opponent's actions using his first soul skill. The moment the soul-guided cannon appeared, Su Yu decisively slowed down, using the speed difference between the two sides to create a significant gap and dodge the soul-guided ray attack.
If they weren't in a tiger's den, Su Yu could take down everyone present. If even one of these fourth-year students could walk out standing, he would consider it a loss.
boom!
With another crisp sound, more than a dozen soul-guided cannon barrels were once again severed by Su Yu's sword, and the powerful force knocked Si Chen directly down from the sky.
As Si Chen's figure descended, a grappling hook pierced through his level-four soul-guiding shield, pinning him firmly to the hook.
"What kind of soul tool is that? I've never seen one like it before!"
"Is this Mingdetang's latest product? How come I didn't know Mingdetang had recently sold a new type of soul tool?"
…………
While everyone was still captivated by Su Yu's dazzling use of soul tools, little did they know that Su Yu still hadn't used the soul tools that could truly kill.
If it were actually used, Si Chen on the other side would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
As the second grappling hook of the 3D Maneuver Gear was launched, Su Yu's body plummeted rapidly. When a cloud of dust settled, Su Yu's longsword was firmly placed against Si Chen's neck, which had been pierced through the abdomen by the grappling hook and pinned to the ground.
"You lost." Su Yu sheathed his longsword, retracted his grappling hook, and returned to the 3D Maneuver Gear. Throughout the entire process, Su Yu remained calm, devoid of any emotion.
"Impossible, this is impossible, I, I..."
Si Chen's eyes were filled with disbelief, but the next moment, a fist slammed into the ground next to Si Chen's ear, leaving a half-inch deep, cracked fist mark on the ground.
"If you dare to bully Senior Keke again, this fist mark will appear on your face next time." Su Yu's voice remained calm as still water, as if this battle was purely for entertainment.
This match lasted five minutes from start to finish. Rather than a stunning game, it was more like a game of hunters.
Su Yu perfectly demonstrated to them what it means to use a soul tool. Even some level two or three soul tools can pose a threat to level four soul masters at certain times.
Tactically, it was completely flawless. If Su Yu used his second soul skill, coupled with powerful firepower suppression, this battle would only take one second.
However, that would expose Su Yu, rendering many of his methods useless. He needs a completely new fighting style now; otherwise, how can he ensure a spectacular showdown between Su Yu and Luo Yu a year from now?
After finishing the job, he also took the soul guide shield from Si Chen. When Su Yu returned, Ju Zi's eyes were full of suspicion. The way she looked at him with a questioning yet doubtful gaze made Su Yu feel uncomfortable all over.
"Sister Orange, I surrender. Ask me whatever you want to know."
Su Yu said helplessly, "I wonder what Ju Zi's sixth sense has guessed this time. Even if I don't say it, Ju Zi will probably try to find out by any means necessary."
"Let's go back and talk about it first."
Su Yu nodded, and then the three or four of them went to the laboratory.
The three of them stared at Su Yu as if he were a monster, and remained silent for a long time.
It wasn't until Keke spoke first, breaking the quiet and eerie atmosphere, "Luoyu, I remember you weren't that strong back then, how come you're stronger than me after only half a year?"
Even if Keke didn't speak, Wang Shaojie and Ju Zi would still ask. Su Yu's strength is terrifying now, completely on a different level from theirs.
"I became a formal Level 3 Soul Master six months ago. I've already told you what happened after that. I even went with the caravan to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, which you all know about. My current fighting style was inspired by our senior, Ma Rulong, who is participating in the tournament. In the past six months, I've planned to develop in the same direction. So, today's battle is an experiment."
Su Yu quietly finished telling the fabricated lie, which, although a lie, was a true lie.
Because the real Luo Yu has always been under Su Yu's control, what Su Yu is using to cover up now are all real events that happened to Luo Yu.
A strange light shone in Ju Zi's beautiful eyes. "Then how did you get that level-five soul tool? I remember that even when we cooperated, we couldn't succeed. The reason I was able to make it was because I had researched and understood it."
"Actually, I'm pretty much the same. After trying dozens of times, I finally completed a semi-finished product, although it's not perfect." As he spoke, Su Yu placed the soul tool on the table and showed the array inside to Ju Zi and the others.
Wang Shaojie slowly said, "It seems you are indeed very qualified. Are you interested in joining the Royal Patrol and becoming my personal bodyguard in the future? I guarantee you will receive sufficient resources."
Good grief, you're trying to recruit me right off the bat. What would you think if I told you my family could buy yours...?
"I, uh..." Seeing this situation, Su Yu could only look at Ju Zi with a helpless expression. He knew that only Ju Zi could help him in this situation.
Ju Zi looked at Wang Shaojie with some disdain and said, "How many times have you done this? Luo Yu is only thirteen years old. What are you thinking? Please stop making such childish jokes."
Wang Shaojie had no choice but to give up. Anyone in his position would hope that their business could attract powerful Soul Masters or Soul Masters with exceptional talent.
Su Yu is now starting anew. He needs more than just maintaining his dual identities; he needs an opportunity to perfectly integrate into Mingde Hall.
Joking aside, at least Wang Shaojie knows to be mindful of the occasion.
Mingdetang's stance was actually quite uncertain until it finally decided to join Xu Tianran's cause. During this period of uncertainty, Mingdetang did not have an easy time.
Back in the lab, Su Yu resumed his usual ordinary life, the brilliance he once displayed on the field gone from his eyes; now he was just an ordinary young boy.
Zi Mu still hasn't returned from the laboratory. It's said that Zi Mu is already undergoing a more advanced assessment in Mingde Hall. If he succeeds in this assessment, Zi Mu will officially become a Level 5 Soul Master.
"Sister Orange, why are you staring at Luo Yu in a daze? Is it because...?" Ke Ke's gossip level was no less than Xiao Xiao's. She had spent a long time with Su Yu, so naturally a bunch of gossip popped into her head.
"While I admit that Luo Yu's junior is quite a good cook, don't you think about how old he is? Even if I, an eighteen-year-old adult, were incredibly ruthless, I wouldn't go so far as to lay a hand on a thirteen-year-old junior!"
Ju Zi helplessly covered her forehead and slapped Ke Ke on the forehead.
Keke said angrily, "Since you're not interested in Luoyu, why don't you consider Zimu? Zimu has pursued you so many times, you should at least give him a chance."
It's not that Ju Zi didn't give Zi Mu a chance, but that Zi Mu simply didn't have the qualifications. What Ju Zi needed was revenge, and revenge required the means to achieve it. What did Zi Mu have? Apart from being slightly stronger than his peers, he basically had nothing else.
That's the difference. If Zi Mu had the same status and position as Xu Tianran, Ju Zi would definitely choose Zi Mu after careful consideration. But Zi Mu, who is penniless, really shouldn't even think about it.
"Forget it. I don't want to marry someone who makes me feel insecure. Besides, I swore that I would marry the best chef in the world. How could I possibly marry someone who can't cook at all? If you like him, you can marry him yourself." Orange rolled her eyes and replied.
Coco chuckled, "Yes, yes, whatever our Orange says is right. Sigh, it's such a pity that Zimu's good intentions went to waste..."
Su Yu wasn't interested in their conversation at all. What he needed to do now was to get into Mingde Hall and officially become a member. Only by joining Mingde Hall could he access its secrets, or even more powerful soul guidance knowledge and technology.
Life in the Sun Moon Empire was monotonous yet fulfilling: cultivation, learning, drawing blueprints, and creating soul tools.
Aside from brief periods of self-reflection each day, his schedule was basically packed. The only thing that gave Su Yu a headache was that Ji Juechen would break into the lab every few days to challenge Su Yu to a duel.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three deafening knocks sounded on the door. Judging from the force of the knocks, Su Yu could not find anyone else besides Ji Juechen.
Su Yu and Ji Juechen exchanged a glance. Looking at the light in Ji Juechen's eyes, Su Yu knew that this guy's background was definitely suspicious. If it were just a friendly spar, Ji Juechen wouldn't have come to them in such a hurry.
"Come in, let's talk about it slowly." Su Yu said calmly. Ji Juechen was clearly acting strangely today.
After entering the dormitory, Ji Juechen found a place to sit down and said, "You seem to be planning to learn about soul tools, right?"
Su Yu nodded. It seemed that Ji Juechen knew something, or had overheard something by accident.
"Mingde Hall has recently started its entrance exams. If you really intend to learn soul tools, you can choose to apply to Mingde Hall."
Ji Juechen habitually stroked the fire poker in his hand. When Mingde Hall was mentioned, he vaguely remembered a martial arts fanatic who was similar to him.
Su Yu put down his carving knife and slowly said, "Actually, I've had this plan for a while, but I feel like you didn't come here today to tell me this."
"I want to ask you, could you fight me one more time? This time, let's find a secluded place. I feel that fighting you will allow me to break through my current limitations. I just need one more fight to break through, really!"
Ji Juechen's eyes shone brightly once more, a fighting spirit burning fiercely, but the next second he was doused with a bucket of cold water.
"I was actually injured in the battle half a year ago. Those hidden injuries have been lurking in my body. After all, as you know, it's impossible for a Great Soul Master to unleash such powerful strength. The only possibility is that I overdraw my body's strength. Now I need to recuperate, so you can only fight me after I break through to the fourth ring."
