Chapter 169 Return to the Star Dou Great Forest
"Fortunately, when I was in the Tang Sect, Su Yu arranged for the Su family to avenge me. In the end, they even learned about the abnormality of my martial soul from the Holy Spirit Cult, which allowed me to return to Shrek Academy. With Dean Yan's help, the hidden danger of my martial soul was resolved. In short, that's roughly how it happened. As for the details, I won't tell you. I'll only tell Bei Bei."
After listening to Tang Ya's account, everyone could guess what twists and turns had occurred in the process, especially since it involved the Holy Spirit Cult, a taboo existence in the world of Soul Masters.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Su Yu, and He Caitou exclaimed, "The Holy Spirit Cult? Someone from the Holy Spirit Cult has actually appeared?"
"Actually, it's nothing. He's just a Soul Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult. If he were a Title Douluo, I would have had to run away that day. It's precisely because the Holy Spirit Cult is so powerful that I had no choice but to send Teacher Xiaoya back to Shrek Academy. After all, it's always right to leave this matter to the academy to handle."
None of them were ordinary people; they all knew what kind of power the Holy Spirit Cult was, so they tacitly refrained from asking any further questions.
The subsequent events were far more complicated than anyone had imagined, as they had to deal with Tang Ya's evil spirit master problem and the Holy Spirit Cult problem. Of course, these were not their concern.
After a brief reminiscing, Su Yu returned to his familiar dormitory.
Sitting at the table, in the same familiar room, in the corner, there were some soul tools that Su Yu had made.
Wang Dong'er didn't turn on the light. The two of them sat silently at the table, while the other sat on what used to be her bed, looking at Su Yu.
Looking back in this room filled with memories, it still feels like yesterday.
Compared to the initial unfamiliarity, Su Yu couldn't help but feel emotional now.
After experiencing turmoil, those past dangers and events seem as distant as a previous life, but they occasionally resurface in my mind when mentioned.
"Um, Su Yu, we..." Wang Dong'er said shyly.
In the darkness, Su Yu's voice drifted out slowly, "Get some rest. Can't you sleep unless something happens?"
"I, I..."
In the end, Su Yu was met with a pillow and a headbutt from Wang Dong'er, a gesture of shame and indignation.
Some people go inexplicably crazy because of a single setback. In fact, most people don't know that many people who go crazy do so because they recall too many beautiful memories of the past, cannot accept the gap between their present and reality, and ultimately die completely with beautiful fantasies.
Looking at the sleeping Wang Dong'er, Su Yu felt that if every day was like this, he wouldn't have to work so hard and risk his life to gamble with the Sun Moon Empire.
The building is about to collapse, but unfortunately, I am powerless to change anything. If I truly had that ability, I wouldn't need to worry about any particular being in the divine realm.
Feeling the fluctuations of soul power within his body, Su Yu slowly got up and left the dormitory.
Poseidon Island.
"Elder Xuan, I'm going to the Star Dou Great Forest to find my fifth spirit ring. I'm letting you know in advance so you won't think I've run away again." There are some things I need to report to Elder Xuan.
Elder Xuan spoke up, "What about Wang Dong'er? Aren't you going to talk to her about it?"
Su Yu shook his head and said, "I was captured by Di Tian last time, and I don't want to take Dong'er with me on this risk. Who knows if they'll try to take me away a second time?"
"That makes sense. How about we have some teachers from the academy help you hunt for spirit rings? It's safer to have teachers with you than to go alone. Besides, the academy's spirit guidance department can't do without your help," Elder Xuan reminded him. "Anyway, the academy will organize a group of students to acquire spirit rings in a few days."
Su Yu said, "The more people there are, the more worried I am. After all, Elder Xuan, how many students in the inner courtyard do you think can escape from the clutches of ferocious beasts now..."
Elder Xuan: "…………"
"I may have to spend some time in the Star Dou Great Forest, because I know the soul beasts won't let me come back easily. After all, there are some things I still need to resolve." This plan of Su Yu's is a crucial step for him, and that's the truth.
"You brat, you're not going to get any spirit rings, you're practically walking into a trap. No way, I can't agree to this. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain to Elder Mu! There's no room for negotiation, nothing I say will do. If you dare to sneak out, I'll teach you a lesson on Elder Mu's behalf!" Hearing that Su Yu was acting strangely, Elder Xuan immediately became vigilant.
Su Yu knew that it was impossible for Meng Xuan to do so, so all he could do now was to mix truth with lies. "Di Tian once assured Elder Mu that he would not harm me, and this time, it seems that there is a problem with my martial soul. Otherwise, I would not have delayed obtaining the soul ring. If I were not forced to, I would not want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. Elder Xuan, so..."
"Can you guarantee that what you're saying is true?" Elder Xuan's eyes were filled with doubt, clearly showing his skepticism about Su Yu's words.
Su Yu sighed, "Elder Xuan, then I won't acquire the fifth spirit ring. I'm sorry to have bothered you..."
Without any hesitation, Su Yu turned and left. He hadn't gone far when Elder Xuan heard a faint sigh: "Alas, it seems that my life is destined to end here. I'll contact the family tomorrow. It seems I have no choice but to drop out of school..."
Holy crap, this brat is getting more and more outrageous!
"You brat, stop right there! Say that again if you dare!"
…………
After experiencing an unpleasant lesson in "violent aesthetics," Su Yu received Xuan Lao's permission with a wry smile, watching Su Yu's departing figure.
"Maybe you're right, you brat. You're just trying to annoy me. If you really want to leave, who dares to stop you? Fine, fine, for Old Master Mu's sake, I'm too lazy to argue with you..."
The next day.
Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.
"So it was you, you lecherous scoundrel. That day you were chasing after me, trying to get close to me by saying things like 'long time no see'," Wang Qiu'er said coldly.
Su Yu's face twitched, and he forced a laugh as he said, "When did I become a pervert in your eyes? Where did you learn all this weird knowledge?"
Wang Qiu'er maintained her cold demeanor and said, "What exactly do you want to say? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Alright, stop pretending. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, we shared each other's memories. I even shared a portion of your power of destiny and the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest. In this world, no one knows your power and aura better than me. Even if you are reborn as a human, the resonance of our power of destiny cannot be severed."
Su Yu helplessly raised his fist towards Wang Qiu'er and said, "Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you sense it with your soul power."
Wang Qiu'er still refused to admit it. After a long silence, she shook her teeth, reluctantly extended her fist, circulated her soul power, and collided with Su Yu's fist.
The instant Wang Qiu'er's soul power touched Su Yu's fist, a strong suction force seemed to appear in Su Yu's body. Immediately afterwards, a proud and powerful soul power rushed into Su Yu's body.
Before the dazzling golden light could erupt, Su Yu withdrew his soul power and quietly watched Wang Qiu'er, who was in a daze.
If it weren't for the fact that this was an academy, Wang Qiu'er would probably have already cried out in surprise.
This is impossible!
How could it be a Martial Soul Fusion?
Impossible, this must be fake!
In fact, Su Yu was not surprised by all of this, because the premise for the fusion of martial souls is that the soul power of the two people will not repel each other. Just as Wang Yan said, once the soul power reaches the point where you are in me and I am in you, it is only a matter of time before you can use the martial soul fusion technique.
He transferred a portion of his life force to Wang Dong'er, which led to their perfect fusion.
The current Wang Qiu'er is the former Imperial Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Their powers had already been perfectly fused when Su Yu plundered the power of destiny, so fusion again now is naturally not difficult.
Wang Qiu'er's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, her jade fingers lightly covering her red lips, her stunningly beautiful face, which was more mature than Wang Dong'er's, showed undisguised shock.
"I already told you I didn't lie to you, why don't you believe me? Besides, who else could know that we shared each other's memories? Please use your brain, okay? You're supposed to be an Emperor Beast, you can't be that stupid..." Su Yu complained, looking at Wang Qiu'er's ever-changing expression.
Wang Qiu'er: "…………"
…………
"Alright, alright, I won't waste any more time on this nonsense. I need you to take me to see Di Tian. I have something to discuss with him that concerns the life and death of a soul beast." Su Yu put away his playful expression and returned to his usual serious demeanor.
Wang Qiu'er asked, puzzled, "What could be so serious as you say?"
"You have my memories from back then, so it's not difficult to explain to you. Now, let me ask you, do you know how human soul masters improve their strength?" Su Yu asked.
Wang Qiu'er didn't understand why Su Yu would ask such a simple question. Although she was puzzled, she still answered, "To hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings."
"What would happen if the soul beasts went extinct?" Su Yu continued to ask.
Wang Qiu'er still didn't understand what Su Yu was trying to say. "You asked me to take you to see Di Tian just to tell me that soul beasts are going to become extinct? You're not kidding, are you?"
Looking into Wang Qiu'er's eyes, Su Yu's gaze sharpened. "What I mean is, the improvement of human strength is inevitably inseparable from spirit rings. In other words, one day, spirit beasts will disappear due to the endless hunting by humans. But what if I told you that I have found a substitute for spirit rings, something that allows humans to obtain spirit rings without hunting spirit beasts?"
After hearing Su Yu's words, Wang Qiu'er finally understood why Su Yu wanted her to take him to see Di Tian.
"Are you telling the truth or not? I hope you're not just making excuses to get a spirit ring?" Clearly, she still had doubts about Su Yu's words.
Su Yu was genuinely troubled. If it weren't for his safety, he wouldn't have bothered taking Wang Qiu'er to the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, with his current strength, encountering a soul beast over 70,000 or 80,000 years old would be like sending him to his doom...
"Okay, just kidding. When are you planning to leave?"
Seeing Su Yu's helpless expression, Wang Qiu'er finally couldn't help but laugh.
Perhaps because the memories they merged were different, Wang Qiu'er's personality was not as domineering and rigid as in the original work. On the contrary, in some ways, she was more like Su Yu.
Looking at Wang Qiu'er laughing heartily, Su Yu felt that the transformed soul beasts these days were all wicked and not simple at all. An old woman over ten thousand years old had no martial ethics and tried to deceive and ambush a teenager like him...
My Dong'er is so sensible...
"Forget it, I'll go in a few days. I seriously suspect you're already gathering soul beasts to kill me and cover your tracks." Su Yu didn't hesitate at all and prepared to turn around and leave.
Wang Qiu'er asked, "So you've decided not to go?"
"I'm not going. I can't trust you anymore..."
"Are you really not going?"
"next time……"
…………
three days later.
Starry Sky Forest.
"That's where Di Tianji often appears. Should I call out for you?" Looking at the familiar place in front of him, Su Yu couldn't help but recall that memory from back then.
"Whatever..." Su Yu no longer wanted to say anything more to this humanoid soul beast that knew him so well.
"Di Tian, I'm back."
With a clear shout, a middle-aged man slowly walked out, smoke gathering around him. He was dressed in black with long hair flowing down his shoulders.
This is the Beast God, the strongest among the Soul Beasts, Di Tian!
Of course, this strongest should exclude Gu Yuena and Niu Tian, since they no longer belong to the category of soul beasts; to be precise, they should be gods.
"Junior Su Yu greets the Beast God." Su Yu bowed slightly to Di Tian.
Di Tian looked at Su Yu, his eyes showing no emotion, and said calmly, "What brings you here this time? Is it a spirit ring or a spirit bone?"
"Senior, you misunderstand. This time, I've come to solve the problem of the survival of soul beasts." Su Yu did not intend to reveal the method of soul spirits, because Su Yu himself was human, and he naturally understood the flaws of human nature better than anyone else.
Wang Qiu'er followed up, saying, "He said he found a power that can replace spirit rings, allowing spirit masters to rely on hunting spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings for future advancements."
Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Di Tian widened his eyes in surprise. "Are you sure he's not lying to you?"
"Does Senior think I'm the kind of person who would come to the Beast God to die just because of a lie?" Su Yu sometimes really admired the imagination of soul beasts.
This is a "once-in-a-lifetime" series. I've recently been learning Shuangpin (a Chinese input method), and it took me four hours to type four thousand characters using Shuangpin. I feel like I might not be suited to typing with Shuangpin.
