Chapter 199 Letter
The competition proceeded as planned by Su Yu, but this time it was exceptionally fierce.
In the preliminary rounds alone, the major academies of the Sun Moon Empire have demonstrated astonishing soul guidance capabilities. The dark horses of this competition are none other than the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, the Shrek Tang Sect team, and a brand new Shrek team.
As for the Body Sect, their faces turned completely dark when they saw Huo Yuhao, the representative of the Tang Sect.
How can we fight like this? Our own sect leader's disciples are all in the Tang Sect, so what's the point of fighting?
This is an absurdly bad match that's impossible to play.
If you lose, you go back and get beaten up; if you win...
Forget it, I can't win...
…………
The only hope for the Body Sect is to avoid encountering Huo Yuhao's Tang Sect team, because fighting them is not an option, and not fighting them is also not an option; they are caught in a dilemma.
The outcome of this competition far exceeded everyone's expectations, especially in terms of soul tools. The teams from the major soul tool academies of the Sun Moon Empire completely crushed the other teams using soul tools.
This also made everyone realize the insurmountable nature of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Domain, as well as the weakness of the Soul Guidance of the three great empires.
Originally, the plan was for only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy from the Sun Moon Empire to participate in this competition. However, after Luo Yu's explanation, the number of participating teams was increased, with several teams added from the major academies of the Sun Moon Empire.
The new generation of trainees will carry this hope and experience with them, growing into the pillars of the empire. Only those who have participated in the pursuit of glory will understand the importance of a powerful empire.
These are Luo Yu's original words. It was precisely because of Luo Yu's decision that Xu Tianran shone brightly this time, almost dominating all the decisions in this competition.
But where is Su Yu?
"When did you run away?" Su Yu looked at the travel-worn guy in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"I couldn't find any opponents in the sect. Later, I asked around and found out that you had returned to the Sun Moon Empire." Ji Juechen looked up at Su Yu, then said nothing more.
Seeing Ji Juechen's travel-worn appearance, Su Yu could roughly guess that he had encountered a lot of trouble along the way.
"Did Jing Ziyan come with you too?"
These two have always been inseparable. Now that Ji Juechen has come out, it's unlikely that the other guy will stay quietly in the sect by himself.
Su Yu recalled what might have happened in the original story, but the details now seemed to have become quite detached from the aid. Since he intervened in the timeline of this world, many things had produced a huge butterfly effect.
Ji Juechen nodded and said, "She's here too, but she's still staying at the accommodation arranged by your family's chamber of commerce."
"Since you're here, how about I arrange some things for you? Of course, you'll meet some worthy opponents to spar with. Are you in?"
At present, the Tang Clan's guard strength is still too weak. Su Yu is not suitable to show his face, but Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan can temporarily act as their guards in secret. By the way, these two martial arts fanatics can be used as sparring partners for the Tang Clan members.
Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?
"Really?" Ji Juechen's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing that there was a combat opponent.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Su Yu retorted.
"Back in Mingdu, you lied to me that you weren't Su Yu..." Ji Juechen slowly brought up that story.
Su Yu: "…………"
"Can we not talk about this? I'm going to a black market gambling event in a few days, and you'll be my bodyguard. You're a local from Mingdu, right?"
Su Yu smiled as he looked at Ji Juechen. He had already made his plans and now he just needed to wait for the right opportunity.
As for when that will happen, we'll have to wait for someone to wake up.
…………
Mingyue Hotel, top floor.
Dai Huabin, sitting on the sofa, said, "This competition is extraordinary, but it's far more intense than the last one. Senior Sister, do you have anything to say?"
The senior sister paused for a moment, then said, "Let me ask you a question. If you were to face this competition five years ago, what would your chances of winning be?"
"I estimate it's less than half a percent..." Wang Qiu'er shook her head and said helplessly.
"So, how much of a chance do you think you have now?" Zhang Lexuan asked with a gentle smile, looking at everyone.
Dai Huabin said, "Aside from the Tang Sect's team, the only team that poses a threat is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy team, but I still think we have a 50% chance of winning this competition."
Looking around, Zhang Lexuan continued, "And what about you?"
"I agree with Dai Huabin's view. Although this competition is difficult, we are still confident." Wang Qiu'er clenched her fist, her eyes seemingly sparkling with a faint starlight.
"So what are your opinions?" Zhang Lexuan asked the same question again.
"I agree with the captain's opinion."
"I agree!"
…………
Zhang Lexuan nodded in satisfaction. "Since you all have such confidence, I also believe that you can achieve victory. The rest is up to you."
Wang Qiu'er said, "Senior Sister, we won't let you down. According to the academy, even sects like the Body Sect will be participating in this competition, which means we still face a lot of pressure. However, I believe we will win, and we definitely will!"
"Oh? So confident? Could it be..." Zhang Lexuan looked at Wang Qiu'er meaningfully, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.
Wang Qiu'er's gaze was firm, her eyes sparkling like shooting stars, "Because her name is Wang Qiu'er, the captain of Shrek Academy!"
This scene was beyond Zhang Lexuan's expectations; perhaps she never truly understood what she was searching for.
Perhaps, after growing weary of the pursuit, the only way to prove everything is through strength.
As for whose choice it was, and who influenced it, only Wang Qiu'er herself knows.
Perhaps it was Wang Qiu'er's strong appeal, or perhaps it was the allure of Shrek Academy's honor that led the others to join in the chanting.
"Shrek will win!"
"Shrek will win!"
…………
"Do you think our Tang Sect should start exploring collaborations with other sects?" Tang Ya asked, looking at Bei Bei, who had a furrowed brow.
Beibei nodded and said, "Indeed, judging from our current development, it will be difficult for us to develop further. If we rely solely on the academy's help, the Tang Sect's development is destined to stagnate at its current level."
"But our current situation is difficult to continue, unless..." Tang Ya bit her lip, and a person involuntarily came to mind.
Beibei sighed helplessly, "You mean combining Tang Sect's hidden weapons with soul-guiding techniques, right?"
"That's right, but we still failed in this experiment. However, Su Yu seems to have succeeded before..." Tang Ya recalled how Su Yu had acted before, piecing together some fragments in her mind.
Beibei nodded. "When Su Yu finished his exchange program with the Sun Moon Empire, he had already completed the fusion. He didn't tell us then. Some time ago, Su Yu's family had an accident, so this matter has been delayed. You know the situation at the academy. The current research is entirely focused on the blueprints that Su Yu brought back, and there's simply no time to deal with the Tang Sect..."
"But Su Yu has already helped us so much. Wouldn't it be too much of us to trouble him again? He's been helping us ever since he joined the Tang Clan. If it weren't for Su Yu, I would have become a member of the Holy Spirit Cult long ago, and the Tang Clan wouldn't have been rebuilt successfully, much less developed to its current size. We can't trouble Su Yu any further, because we owe him far too much..."
Tang Ya recalled scenes from the past, from the reconstruction of the Tang Clan to its eventual development...
All of this is inseparable from Su Yu's help. Although the Tang Clan can now support itself by selling some hidden weapons, it was unable to integrate into the times before.
In this era of soul tools, hidden weapons are merely a product of a bygone era. If they cannot keep up with the times, even the newly established Tang Sect will decline once again.
Tang Ya understood this principle, but she couldn't change it on her own.
She is neither the all-around genius Su Yu, nor her ancestor Tang San.
"Teacher Xiaoya, Su Yu sent a letter over."
Just as Tang Ya and Bei Bei were caught in a dilemma, Huo Yuhao's voice came from outside the door.
"I see."
Tang Ya opened the door and looked at the letter in Huo Yuhao's hand with a look of confusion.
What exactly was in that letter?
Looking at the letter, Tang Ya felt somewhat dazed, and for a moment, the scene before her seemed to return to the past.
That same letter pulled her back from the brink of collapse and rekindled her hope.
What will this letter be?
Is this what I want?
Su Yu, what have you brought me this time...?
Looking at the letter, Tang Ya felt as if it possessed an indescribable magic, making it impossible for her to look away.
Holding the envelope in her hand, the seemingly thin letter felt incredibly heavy, requiring both hands to lift it.
………………
"What kind of mess have you made, kid? Giving away such good stuff like that! If you had sold it to the gang leader, you could have gotten a much better price. You're such a spendthrift..."
Looking at the thin letter you sent out, Su Xinyuan complained with a touch of heartache.
"Alright, alright, I don't care about these things anyway. You two can go if you want. Didn't that kid say you should leave now?"
Ji Juechen picked up his sword and quickly disappeared from Su Xinyuan's sight.
Watching the two depart, Su Xinyuan could only sigh inwardly at how times had changed.
"You think Su Yu really sent us to protect those kids just to get rid of us?" Jing Ziyan asked Ji Juechen.
"He never goes back on his word, so I trust him."
Ji Juechen's aura was stable at this moment, with no sharpness leaking out at all, which clearly showed that his swordsmanship had deepened to another level.
"So we're not really going to have to wait until the end of the competition to find the qualified sparring partners Su Yu mentioned, are we? Although Shrek Academy's team is very strong, are you sure they'll actually have time to spar with us? But, I think with what we have..."
These things...
What things?
Mingdu, outside the city.
"Why is this kid wandering around like this? He doesn't look like he's looking for someone." A figure slowly spoke from the shadows.
"Who knows? The cult leader's orders are for us to follow this kid. I just don't understand. He's just a level 60 Soul King. What's so special about him? Why send two of us level 83 Soul Douluos to monitor him?" another person continued, clearly indicating that they were following orders from their so-called cult leader.
The leader they were referring to was naturally the Holy Spirit Cult. Besides the Holy Spirit Cult, who else could have such a grand scheme, sending two Soul Douluos to track down a Soul King?
"Why don't we just kill this kid? We've been following him all this way, and all he does is wander around aimlessly. He's utterly worthless. I heard he's from Shrek Academy. Let's finish this job and eliminate any future trouble!" The first figure's cold voice was filled with killing intent.
The other person objected, saying, "The leader said we should just follow along and not cause any trouble. It's during the competition, so it's best not to make too much of a commotion. It's a small matter if something happens to us, but if we ruin the leader's plans, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for us to die."
"Should we still follow?"
"No need. Once he leaves the area of Mingdu, we don't need to follow him anymore. Just in case there's a trap, we can't follow him too closely."
The sound stopped abruptly there, and Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the two people's auras slowly disappear from his senses.
"Looks like you've been targeted, kid. You're always attracting attention wherever you go, hahaha..." Old Yi's laughter echoed in Su Yu's mind.
Su Yu silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Teacher, please don't laugh at me. I'm in a precarious situation myself. Being targeted by the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult is not a good thing. If she really intends to kill me, even if we work together now, we won't be able to escape..."
"Holy Spirit Cult, you insisted on meddling in other people's business, taking down their branch and eliminating their spies in the Star Luo Empire. You even blamed their death on them. If they weren't paying attention to you, that would be a real problem. Anyway, be careful. As long as their soul power doesn't exceed human limits, I can still help you sense it in advance."
After a moment's thought, the old man replied.
