Chapter 145 Xuan Ziwen's Collapsed Worldview
Ji Juechen looked up at the window, but there was still no change outside. He didn't understand why Su Yu in front of him had so many things that were beyond his comprehension.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Ji Juechen cleared his throat and looked away.
Su Yu didn't answer him, but just kept his head down and continued to gnaw on the freshly served ten-year soul beast double-finned fish meat. The only response he got was a finger tapping on the table.
…………
Mingde Hall is the core area of Experimental Zone No. 1.
In a dimly lit corridor, a figure suddenly appeared. In the darkness, the soul tool on his body was particularly dazzling. When he realized that it was Luo Yu who came out of the No. 1 core experimental area, the soul tool on his body also dimmed.
"So it is Senior Brother Luo Yu. I apologize for any offense, but it is my duty."
Upon seeing that the visitor was Luo Yu, the guard from Mingde Hall greeted him.
Stepping out of the corridor, Luo Yu glanced up at the guard. The guard, who was about to step forward, suddenly froze. An invisible aura descended upon him, and a tremendous sense of crisis constantly assaulted the guard's mind. Only after Luo Yu left did a voice come, "It's alright..."
When Luo Yu left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, it was already dusk, and the sky had darkened, but the lights on Sun Moon Street were still as bright as day.
The road seemed very long. After passing one street lamp after another, I finally found the store in the bustling street.
"Ji Juechen, the person you've been waiting for has arrived."
After eating all afternoon, Su finally wiped his mouth with satisfaction and smiled as he spoke.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure that drove Ji Juechen mad appeared at the doorway: Luo Yu.
"Ji Juechen, what's wrong? Wasn't I right?"
A voice that was exactly the same came from Luo Yu's mouth. Although the two looked different, their voices were always exactly the same.
"You, you, are you really the same person as Su Yu?" Ji Juechen asked in surprise.
Luo Yu sat down on the other side of the table. The square table was already full of three people. If Jing Ziyan joined, it would probably be enough for a mahjong game.
"I was wondering why I couldn't find you two anywhere in the entire academy. Turns out you were here!"
After Luo Yu sat down, another figure appeared at the doorway.
Okay, now we really have a whole mahjong set.
"Su Yu, Ji Juechen, you're here too?"
Ji Juechen was slightly taken aback when he saw Jing Ziyan appear; in the blink of an eye, two more people had appeared.
"Since we're already here, I'm not going to bother with any more pretense. Waiter, please give us a private room; we have something to discuss."
…………
Shrek City, Shrek Academy. At this moment, Wang Dong has been admitted to the inner academy. During Wang Dong's assessment, Su Yu also sent back more than twenty soul guide design drawings.
This caused an uproar throughout Shrek Academy's entire Soul Guidance Department. Although these things were not particularly important to Su Yu, for Shrek Academy at the moment, they were like an eight or nine-year-old child finding a long, straight stick in a field.
Su Yu's actions undoubtedly gave Shrek's many teachers and elders great confidence, but at the same time they also received a letter from Su Yu.
"When you open this letter, it means that the subsequent exchange and learning will be coming to an end. After I return to school, I have too many things to deal with in my family, so I hope to arrange my graduation exam in advance."
Also, tell me to take good care of Dong'er, or you can forget about getting any more soul guide blueprints from me. If I hear Wang Dong complaining about you guys when I get back, I promise I won't give you anything good.
The letter was short, but when Elder Xuan saw it, he couldn't help but curse Su Yu as a bastard in the Sea God Pavilion!
Even the elders were amused by Elder Xuan's actions. If Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er hadn't stopped him, Elder Xuan would have been ready to rush to the Sun Moon Empire and give Su Yu a good beating.
However, Wang Dong, who is still completely unaware of this, is still being tormented by Meng Hongchen.
"What's wrong, Wang Dong? Are you feeling unwell?" Looking at Wang Dong's slightly pained expression, she asked with concern.
Wang Dong pushed away Meng Hongchen's hand that was about to wipe his sweat, "It's nothing, just a bit of a drain on my soul power."
Little did Meng Hongchen know that Wang Dong, whom she longed for, had absolutely no feelings for her. As for where Wang Dong's heart lay, perhaps Meng Hongchen would never guess, even in her death, that it was Su Yu.
Looking at the several more live-fire exercises ahead, and the fact that his teammates were all Meng Hongchen, Wang Dong felt such pain and torment for the first time.
"Teacher, I'm not feeling well, can I ask for leave today?"
Finally, Wang Dong took the initiative to ask for leave for the first time. Originally, the teacher was going to take Wang Dong to get checked, but the notification received was that Yan Shaozhe had approved it.
"Alright, Wang Dong, you can rest for a day. Today's practical training session will continue. Wang Dong, you can go back now."
After getting the vacation, Wang Dong ran away without looking back. In the past two and a half years, Wang Dong had been thoroughly annoyed by Meng Hongchen.
…………
"Got it? That's roughly what happened. After my exchange program ends, I'll be going back to Shrek Academy. As for Luo Yu, she won't have time to spar with you guys anymore. Why don't you come with me? I have plenty of people over there to fight with you."
Thus, Su Yu spent nearly an hour explaining his relationship with Luo Yu, during which time Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen were repeatedly confused.
"Aren't you afraid we'll expose you?" Jing Ziyan chuckled.
"That's unlikely. If I didn't trust you, the two of you wouldn't be gathering here every day." Su Yu paused here.
Luo Yu continued, "Besides, I won't tell you these things. But actually, I'm not worried. After all, who would believe you?"
"You said it yourself, don't turn your back on me when I go to Shrek Academy!" Ji Juechen said without saying another word, and immediately prepared to leave the Sun Moon Empire.
"Count me in. I'm tired of this place anyway. Even Luo Yu doesn't want to fight us anymore, so what am I supposed to do here? Is there anywhere for me to stay? And are there any cultivation resources? If there are, I'll stick with you."
This was a scenario Su hadn't anticipated. If time hadn't been so tight, he wouldn't have needed to take such a risk. Who could have guessed that these two madmen who only knew how to fight would actually be planning to leave right now?
Of course, Su Yu didn't reveal too many of his secrets, attributing the matter of his clones to his martial soul, since some things couldn't be exposed.
"This is my secret letter. You can give it to the Su family's merchant guild in Sun and Moon City. I'll be going back in a few days."
He got up and left; his next target should be Xuan Ziwen.
"Teacher Xuan, it's been a long time. Can we talk?"
In front of the teaching building, Luo Yu called out to Xuan Ziwen, who had just come out of Mingde Hall.
Looking at his former student, Xuan Ziwen smiled and asked, "Luo Yu, is there something you need?"
"Teacher Xuan, there are some things about soul guidance that I don't understand. Could we go to your office and have you explain them to me in detail?" This was just an excuse; all that was needed now was to find a suitable place.
Although Luo Yu only studied under Xuan Ziwen for less than a year, Xuan Ziwen noticed Luo Yu's learning attitude and hard work. In the end, Luo Yu lived up to expectations and became Jing Hongchen's disciple, which made Xuan Ziwen feel genuinely proud.
"Okay, come with me."
With that, Xuan Ziwen led Luo Yu into the office. After sitting down, Xuan Ziwen looked at Luo Yu and said, "What questions do you have?"
"Actually, I didn't come here today to ask you any questions, but to discuss something with you," Luo Yu said, sitting down at Xuan Ziwen's desk.
"Oh? What is it?" Xuan Ziwen asked curiously, and his interest was piqued.
Luo Yu cleared his throat. He was now completely under Su Yu's control. "Teacher Xuan, do you really intend to spend your whole life working for Mingdetang with your research results? Haven't you ever thought about doing your own research and using your own abilities to achieve your own goals and dreams?"
"Luo Yu, based on my understanding of you, you would never say such a thing to me. However, since you have brought it up, I'd like to hear what you have to say." Putting down the documents in his hand, Xuan Ziwen stared intently at Luo Yu.
"I spent some time in the Star Luo Empire, and even those novel soul tools and designs I created back then originated from something passed down from a sect. So I hope you can join our sect, and if you do, we will open everything up to you."
Su Yu knew that to entice Xuan Ziwen, it wouldn't be enough to just have a few soul tools; he needed something more substantial.
"Then what can you offer to make me believe you?" Xuan Ziwen asked almost without hesitation.
Knowing he had a chance, Su Yu said, "Teacher Xuan, don't resist. I will tell you about the research results currently available in our sect."
Xuan Ziwen nodded and then said, "Okay."
Su Yu then simulated and materialized all the numerous design drawings in his mind. He had conceived of these things several years ago, and many of them were now being developed into finished products by Su Derong, Liu Ji, and Zhao Huafeng.
When the mental sharing covered Xuan Ziwen, Xuan Ziwen instinctively resisted for a moment before withdrawing his power. When Su Yu simulated the finished product—which combined the soul tool in his mind with the Tang Sect's hidden weapon and even made several improvements—in front of Xuan Ziwen, Xuan Ziwen's expression began to show signs of being tempted.
Xuan Ziwen was a person who was obsessed with soul guidance research, so he was naturally very familiar with these things. The things that Su Yu simulated were all simulated according to the design drawings, so it was impossible for him to fool Xuan Ziwen. Especially when he saw those soul guidance devices that did not require soul power and could be used by ordinary people, Xuan Ziwen had completely gone crazy.
"W-wh-does this soul tool really exist? Is there really anyone faster than me in this research field? Who? Who is it, Luo Yu, tell me! Tell me quickly, who is it?"
How could he not be surprised? He even suspected that when Luo Yu took out these soul guide design drawings, Xuan Ziwen could tell at a glance how to use these soul guides without needing soul power to activate them. In other words, soul guides had already entered the lives of the people!
And this is exactly the area I'm researching!
"Teacher Xuan, don't worry, these are not the most important things. Our sect leader has also researched the latest soul tools. Although they are not perfect, I can only show you the general outline."
As he spoke, Su Yu slowly simplified and shrunk the No. 1 experimental subject he had stolen from Mingde Hall, and modified many details. Although it was very similar to the No. 1 experimental subject from Mingde Hall, its structure was quite different from that of Mingde Hall.
This kind of humanoid soul tool is not controlled by itself, but is completely controlled internally!
To completely immerse Xuan Ziwen in the hobby, Su Yu mentally simulated a scene of piloting a Gundam.
What's this called? This is called a dimensional reduction attack!
On a distant planet, we may not have your cultivation system, but our imagination is something you can never match!
When the small Gundam, which was over twenty meters tall, started moving, in this consciousness space, the Gundam completed a series of drills, including flight, gliding, forced landing, and even attack and defense. Xuan Ziwen had completely fallen into madness.
"This is impossible! With our current soul guidance abilities, we could not possibly achieve this!" Xuan Ziwen's eyes were bloodshot. In just a few short minutes, his worldview seemed to have been overturned by his genius student.
"Teacher Xuan, as my teacher, you are definitely capable of distinguishing between truth and falsehood. Moreover, I have demonstrated all the details to you, including the core soul guidance array. I believe you know better than I do whether it is true or false."
Su Yu dispelled his soul skill, and Xuan Ziwen's consciousness returned to reality.
He stared blankly at the falling feathers before him, lost in thought. He was in a deep contemplation, repeatedly going over everything Su Yu had demonstrated in his mind, searching for loopholes and flaws.
As time flew by, Xuan Ziwen's body broke out in a cold sweat.
"Impossible, how could this be? There's no flaw, there's absolutely no flaw..."
"Really! These things are actually possible..."
Xuan Ziwen's voice and body trembled; at this moment, all his pride was ruthlessly shattered.
When he looked at Luo Yu again, he felt that perhaps the place Luo Yu had mentioned was his true home!
