After packing up, Huo Yuhao shuddered when he opened his treasure pouch.
After quickly sorting the items, Su Yu also collected a large handful of hidden weapons. He estimated that if they were to suddenly attack, even a three-ring Soul Master could be killed, let alone a two-ring Great Soul Master.
Back in the dormitory, Wang Dong forced a somewhat strained smile. After closing the dormitory door, two Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath Wang Dong's feet.
"Wang Dong, let's talk this out..."
"You, Su Yu, just like that, you pushed me out? You're really something!"
"Holy crap, no! Yuhao, help me! Help me..." Seeing the situation was bad, Su Yu roughly guessed what was going on.
Wang Dong is a girl though now she is disguise as a boy, and her relationship with Xiao Xiao was clearly not as smooth as it had hoped. In fact, another thought was that Wang Dong felt she had been betrayed and was very angry about Su Yu's actions!
Obviously, Su Yu was more convinced of the latter!
"Trying to run? Where do you think you're going!"
Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly appeared, a pair of dazzling wings emerging from his back. Looking at the radiant light, Su Yu knew that with Wang Dong standing in front of the dormitory door, escape was impossible.
Su Yu calmly closed his eyes, made a prayer gesture, and finally slowly uttered two words, "Amen."
Elegance, timeless.
*Bang!
* Wang Dong kicked Su Yu mid-air, sending him crashing onto the bed.
Su Yu clutched his ribs, looking at Wang Dong innocently.
The two stared at each other, the atmosphere instantly becoming awkward.
"Cultivate, cultivate! All you do is bully people with your cultivation level. When I reach the second-ring Great Soul Master level, I'll give you a good beating!"
Su Yu continued cultivating. He had already exploited the bug in the Mysterious Heaven Technique, though it wasn't as easily activated as Huo Gu's. Su Yu didn't force it, but his Mysterious Heaven Technique was indeed much smoother than before.
As for the Purple Demon Eye, the Mysterious Jade Hand, the Dragon-Capturing Crane-Controlling Technique, and the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons, Su Yu hadn't missed a single one.
His soul power cultivation had already reached level twenty. And once he get a new of a soul ring, he feels that he can rise to twenty-two. He was absolutely confident he could defeat Wang Dong. Su Yu eat the top-tier dishes in the cafeteria without any restraint. Over time, precisely because these dishes were highly nutritious and beneficial to cultivation.
The next day, Su Yu, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao walked into the classroom side by side, with Su Yu always sitting in the middle.
"I've already registered all the participating teams. The competition officially starts this afternoon. In the ten round-robin matches, you won't encounter each other, only students from other classes. I only have one requirement for you: anyone who tries to stop you from passing the test, beat them up. Alright, everyone disperse. Meet at the assessment area this afternoon." After saying that, Zhou Yi turned and left without any hesitation.
Seeing their expressions, Su Yu couldn't help but think they had Li Yunlong's spirit—enough to beat up those sons of bitches from the Yamazaki Battalion!
"You two, don't rush off. We need to discuss tactics first," Su Yu said, watching the two about to leave.
Wang Dong looked at Su Yu with some doubt and said, "Tactics? What tactics? Just fight our way through? What's the point of tactics in the face of overwhelming strength?"
"I think it's necessary to discuss tactics first. Otherwise, if there's a mishap, the other students will laugh at us," Huo Yuhao agreed, as he also planned to discuss tactics.
On the playground, the three of them took their stances. Huo Yuhao spoke, "My martial soul is the Spirit Eye, and my first soul skill is Spiritual Detection Sharing, which allows me to share everything detected within a fifty-meter radius with my teammates."
"My martial soul is the Mirror, and my first soul skill is Mirror Reflection, which can replicate an opponent's movements. As long as my body allows, I can unleash even greater power and retaliate with the same moves." Su Yu's first soul skill was indeed somewhat lackluster, but its practical use in combat far exceeded that.
Even Wang Dong, without using his soul skills, was unable to defeat Su Yu and was even completely suppressed by him—a fact Wang Dong had deeply experienced over the past three months.
"My martial soul is the Goddess of Light Butterfly. Don't worry about that. Why don't you two try it out? One of you can't fight me alone; both of you come at me together." Wang Dong looked at the two with great pride, showing no concern for his defeat.
Seeing Wang Dong's confident demeanor, Su Yu asked meaningfully, "Aren't you afraid of losing?"
"I'm so scared! A support-type Soul Master and a future control-type Battle Soul Master... I'm looking forward to your teamwork!"
Wang Dong stood thirty meters away, beckoning Su Yu and Huo Yuhao with a finger.
"Su Yu, you take the lead, I'll support you!" Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes lit up, and a white Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet. Wang Dong couldn't help but feel a little regretful; no wonder he cultivated so desperately—his talent was truly lacking.
Su Yu had experienced Huo Yuhao's shared spiritual detection before; everything within a fifty-meter radius was under his control.
Wang Dong's dazzling wings unfurled, and two Soul Rings, one yellow and one purple, lit up. His figure suddenly accelerated, instantly soaring into the air.
Seeing Wang Dong's rapidly swooping figure, Su Yu had already anticipated everything. Using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and the Mysterious Jade Hand, he struck first, blocking Wang Dong's path with a palm strike.
Missing his first attack, Wang Dong immediately retreated. He was familiar with Su Yu's abilities, and now, with Huo Yuhao's assistance, it was even less likely he could gain an advantage against Su Yu while using his soul skills.
Helpless, Wang Dong could only fly into the air again, relentlessly attacking, hoping to achieve something, but each attempt was fruitless.
"Su Yu, aren't you bullying me? Both of you know my movements. Since that's the case, then I won't be polite."
As he spoke, Wang Dong's first soul ring suddenly lit up. At the same time, he raised his hands, grabbed the inside of the forewings, and with a sudden pull, the forewings spread out on both sides of his body, their golden edges resembling two large guillotines.
At this moment, Su Yu's first spirit ring also lit up rapidly. Seeing Wang Dong's movements, Su Yu guessed Wang Dong's next attack.
"First Spirit Skill, Winged Guillotine!"
A dazzling guillotine slashed directly at Su Yu and Huo Yuhao. Su Yu calmly stepped to the right, narrowly avoiding the guillotine's edge. Watching Huo Yuhao approach, a satisfied smile appeared on Wang Dong's face.
But the next instant, Wang Dong's smile froze, and Huo Yuhao vanished. It was unclear when, but Huo Yuhao, who hadn't moved an inch, had disappeared.
"Get down here obediently!" Su Yu used the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon Technique, grabbing Wang Dong's arm and pulling him down.
Once on the ground, Wang Dong's martial spirit advantage would be useless. Now entangled by Su Yu, his chances of winning were practically zero. He knew Su Yu's strength better than anyone; unless he used a spirit skill, he wouldn't be able to launch an effective attack.
Just as Wang Dong was about to retaliate, a sharp pain shot through his brain, and in the next instant, he was completely controlled by Su Yu.
"Mental Impact!" Huo Yuhao silently chanted. This was also a soul skill bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Although not a purely offensive soul skill, as long as Huo Yuhao's mental strength was strong enough, it could unleash extremely powerful attacks.
Defeated by the two's coordinated attack, Wang Dong's loss was not unjustified, because every step, even every movement, was under his control.
With Wang Dong's strength, in a one-on-one fight, he would never have lost to the two of them. In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that even two soul masters of the same level as Su Yu and Huo Yuhao working together couldn't withstand Wang Dong's first soul skill.
But they did it anyway, successfully defeating Wang Dong!
"It's unfair! You two knew about my actions. With Huo Yuhao's help, Su Yu's replication is simply unsolvable!"
Looking at the two perfectly coordinated opponents, Wang Dong, though verbally unconvinced, chose to accept the reality.
