Chapter 164 The Test (Part 1)
As if he had just remembered something, Wang Dong said urgently, "Uncle, when we were training in the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Yu was imprisoned there by the Beast God Di Tian. After that, Su Yu asked Shrek Academy for leave and returned to the family. It was a year and a half before he returned to Shrek Academy."
As she spoke the last sentence, a strange light flashed in Wang Dong'er's eyes. Could it have been at that moment...?
The middle-aged man in white said calmly, "You don't need to worry about that. Your second father and I will handle it. We won't do anything to him. As for that strange power within him, we will investigate it for you. Of course, if we find out he has ulterior motives, we will at most teach him a lesson and kick him out."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, your second father and I still need to test this little guy. Since he's the one you've chosen, how can we explain to your parents if he can't even pass our test?"
The middle-aged man in white had a gleaming blue light in his eyes, and his tone was very firm. Moreover, the pressure he exuded was so great that even their beloved Wang Dong'er dared not refute him at this moment. In the end, she could only pout and then retreated in a huff.
After watching Wang Dong leave, the short-haired middle-aged man said to the middle-aged man in white, "Boss, it seems that Xiao Dong'er has already made up her mind about that kid. Since that's the case, we can't let our guard down. What if Xiao Dong'er gets deceived? If you ask me, guys who possess powers that don't belong to them should be arrested and interrogated thoroughly. Any secrets they have will be revealed in one interrogation. Why are we so worried now?"
The middle-aged man in white glared at him fiercely, saying with a hint of helplessness, "You've lived to such an old age, how can you still be so reckless? If you really did that, Xiao Dong'er would probably hate you for the rest of her life. If you had any sense at all, you could see that Xiao Dong'er has already decided on this little guy. But, can someone who has won Xiao Dong'er's heart be an ordinary person?"
Wang Dong'er's second father was genuinely afraid of her first father, so he could only reluctantly retract his previous words and dare not continue the conversation. "Actually, I'm not worried about this little guy's aptitude. Although I can't detect everything about his body, judging from his mental strength and soul power, his aptitude is enough to be considered that of a genius. I've also investigated his background, and there are no problems in his family. However, there are too many things about him that I can't understand."
The middle-aged man in white looked at him with some confusion and said, "Even with your cultivation level, you can't see through him? What's so special about this kid?"
Titan, Wang Dong'er's second father, continued, "Originally, I intended to give him a warning, but the moment my spiritual energy made contact with him, I discovered that his spiritual energy wasn't just spiritual energy, but also contained another force. Moreover, when my full pressure descended upon him, an even stronger force, far surpassing my own, surged forth from his sea of consciousness. In that instant, I clearly saw his eyes turn a fiery gold—or rather, they transformed into the golden eyes of a dragon-type soul beast!"
"This, could this kid also be..." At this point, Wang Dong'er's great-father Niu Tian paused, "Forget it, such a thing is impossible. Even if he is a soul beast who has been reborn, it is impossible that even we cannot detect it. Since he has a secret, as long as he is sincere to Xiao Dong'er and has no other intentions, there is no need to pursue this issue any further."
…………
The second floor of Haotian Fort.
Su Yu had no idea that the golden eyes he had revealed in that instant would lead to such a complex range of speculations from them, but their guesses were actually within the normal range.
Looking out the window, it was arched and covered with a layer of crystal glass.
Looking out, a rolling sea of clouds came into view, it was simply a fairyland on earth. Not only was this place a paradise on earth, but both the terrain and the scenery were truly a fairyland on earth. If one cultivated in such a place for more than ten years, one could easily reach the title of Douluo.
Su Yu jumped onto the stone bed and sat down cross-legged. He was not about to let go of such a great thing. After all, it was a whole piece of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow. This thing would be of great benefit to the Snow Emperor's recovery. In the original story, the Ice Emperor also said that if he had such a piece of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow back then, he would not have failed to survive the four hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulation.
Now that this thing has fallen into Su Yu's hands, there's no hope of escaping again. After all, such things are extremely rare; you probably couldn't find more than a few even if you searched the entire Douluo Continent.
As soon as he sat down, the seal formed by the Snow Emperor in his mind began to tremble slightly, clearly indicating that this thing was of great benefit to the Snow Emperor's awakening.
"Hiss... Hyotei is so cold, this thing is really cold..." Although Su Yu had the Snow Emperor by his side and could use the power of extreme ice, he still felt cold.
Just as Su Yu was about to continue cultivating, Electrolux's voice rang in his mind.
"That person's mental strength was very strong. Among all the human powerhouses you've ever seen, the only one who could surpass that person was probably Mu En, the former head of the Sea God Pavilion."
Su Yu slowly replied, "Although I don't know exactly what his strength is, if we really have to compare, his strength should surpass the current limits of humans on the Douluo Continent. I don't know the specifics of his strength, but it is definitely not a power that ordinary people can possess. At the very least, he has touched the threshold of godhood."
"Hmm." Elder Yi also began to analyze Titan for Su Yu, saying, "His aura is indeed extraordinary. In terms of mental power alone, he is stronger than the giant worm and the small scorpion in your friend's sea of consciousness. It seems that your little girlfriend's background is also incredibly powerful. It seems you should prepare yourself for what's to come, after all, she won't let you have your way easily."
"I know, after all, it would be strange if he didn't care about anything." Actually, even without Elder Yi's explanation, Su Yu could roughly deduce his strength. After all, Da Ming and Er Ming were Xiao Wu's brothers, and also Tang San's brother-in-law. They couldn't possibly be just ordinary people.
"But you have nothing to worry about," Electrox's aged voice continued. "That person means you no harm. I can sense his righteousness. Although his attitude towards you isn't very nice, he means you no harm. However, I must remind you, don't use the necromancy I taught you, lest you cause some trouble."
After offering a kind reminder, Electrolux remained silent, returning to his usual quiet state.
Su Yu no longer intended to continue communicating with Elder Yi. After all, he already knew everything he needed to know, and now he had only one goal: to refine this Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Marrow.
Even if I can't refine it, I must forcibly absorb it using a secret method and seal it in my sea of consciousness so that I can refine it slowly in the future.
After all, without this thing, it would be a long time before the Snow Empress awakens. If she really has to wait on her own, it will probably be too late. Who knows if something went wrong when the seal was successfully completed?
As the chill seeped into his body from below, circulating through his meridians, Su Yu felt his body growing colder and colder. This feeling was very similar to the one when the Silver Dragon King forcibly probed him, and it was truly uncomfortable.
Without hesitation, Su Yu began to fully circulate the cultivation method taught by Elder Yi. Although he should have used the Xuan Tian Gong at this time, Su Yu still adhered to the principle of using whichever method was more effective and began to continuously refine the pure cold energy within his body.
The wispy chill, driven by Su Yu's profound soul power and the power of the Snow Empress, quickly merged with Su Yu's own soul power.
Su Yu does not possess the Martial Soul of Ultimate Ice, but he possesses the power of the Snow Emperor within him. He and the Snow Emperor have formed a unique symbiotic relationship due to Elder Yi's secret technique, which allows Su Yu to use the Snow Emperor's power, and the Snow Emperor to use his power.
As Su Yu circulated his soul power, a faint icy blue mist rose from the Frost Jade Marrow beneath him. The Frost Jade Marrow bed gradually became translucent, its icy blue color as lustrous as jade. Inside, there seemed to be a viscous liquid flowing. As Su Yu refined it, the Frost Jade bed revealed its true form.
If an outsider were watching at this moment, they would be surprised to find that Su Yu's body had become somewhat transparent, and under that transparent skin, one could even faintly see the bones inside his body.
However, as a Soul Master, attaching a Soul Bone is a very important thing, and the boost that a Soul Bone can give to one's strength is terrifying. However, Su Yu, who once possessed several Soul Bones, still couldn't find a single trace of a Soul Bone in his body.
In fact, Su Yu's body had long been so powerful that it was abnormally strong. As early as when he reached level 40, he was already able to continuously absorb the life force of the Life Gold that had been sealed by Elder Yi.
It's not that Su Yu's soul power isn't growing fast enough, but rather that Su Yu's body is like a reservoir that's constantly expanding—yes, not a water storage tank, but a reservoir!
Because Su Yu's physical strength was increasing rapidly, the amount of soul power his body could hold also skyrocketed. This resulted in Su Yu's breakthroughs and cultivation speed being even slower than Huo Yuhao's, but Su Yu's strength was constantly increasing.
Soul power level doesn't represent strength. Perhaps for others, soul power level is linked to age and aptitude, but Su Yu has always been an anomaly, operating outside these rules. A quasi-Soul King without even five rings chased a Soul Saint from Shrek Academy's inner court all over Sea God Lake...
When he arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as an exchange student, all the students of Shrek Academy underwent strict checks and tests. Su Yu had nothing to worry about, since he had already figured out all the tests and could even mass-produce them.
If it weren't for the need to conceal his strength and keep a low profile so as not to attract anyone's attention, he would have been too high-profile. It would have been questionable whether he could have left Mingde Hall immediately after the incident.
In two and a half years, Su Yu's soul power only increased by four levels, but now Su Yu is at least a level seven soul master, and his strength in the martial soul system is in no way inferior to that of a soul saint!
These real things are astonishing, but only Su Yu himself knows about them.
Although she dazzled a lot of people at the Sea God's Fate Conference, it didn't matter; at least she dealt with those bastards who tried to steal the bride.
The reason Su Yu dared to challenge them so boldly in the later exchange matches was simply to lure Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan into a trap.
Moreover, Jing Hongchen had privately invited Su Yu to join Mingde Hall several times. Jing Hongchen had no worries at all, since Su Yu's parents were students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in their early years, and Su Yu's mother's classmate was even Jing Hongchen's disciple.
With this connection, Su Yu could be said to have some kind of connection with Mingdetang.
Although Su Yu does not possess an ultimate martial soul, the path he is currently taking is even more difficult than that of an ultimate martial soul. However, the rewards and risks are proportional. Although the process has been somewhat tortuous, the result is still quite satisfactory.
At Su Yu's age, others are in their prime for cultivation. Once they pass twenty, their physical growth slows down or even stops, and the fusion of their martial soul and body also slows down. At this stage, the cultivation progress of all soul masters becomes stable.
They would train desperately to break through level 60 in their soul power before the age of 20, because in their understanding, only by breaking through level 60 before the age of 20 could they possibly become a Title Douluo!
However, Su Yu did not have this worry, because he did not need to consider the problem of his body at all, since the powerful life force provided by the Life Gold had not been fully absorbed even after more than four years.
Even if Su Yu stops cultivating now, with the life force provided by the Life Gold, living for ten thousand years or so would be no problem at all, because that enormous life force is truly absorbed only by Su Yu, unlike Huo Yuhao who shares it with a group of people...
According to Su Yu's plan, once the Snow Empress awakens from her seal, Su Yu's soul power will surge once again.
Because the Snow Empress's power absolutely depends on herself, all Su Yu needs to do now is to continuously improve his own strength, so as not to be unable to withstand the Snow Empress's power and have the Snow Empress take over several of his soul rings at once.
After all, he only has one martial soul that can be attached with spirit rings. Once all the spirit rings are filled, Su Yu's cultivation may have to follow the path of Elder Yi and the others in their world.
Although Su Yu's mental strength was indeed suitable for cultivating the system of Elder Yi's world, Elder Yi still advised him to use the cultivation method of his current world as the standard, since no one knew what strange problems might arise.
Don't be curious why it's still a "lifetime series"; the answer is that the author might have to confront a jerk called "life" at any time.
