Chapter 90 Pre-match Preparations
If in the future, Su were to stand atop Xiaobai's head, commanding the undead army from behind, what a magnificent sight that would be!
The army of Douluo Continent is no match for the creatures of the undead demiplane. If Su Yu so desires in the future, he can also launch an undead catastrophe!
The power of necromancy goes far beyond that, but Elder Yi's advice to him was that he should never use necromancy unless absolutely necessary.
But Su Yu knew that he was destined to rely on necromancy in the future, and in this chaotic world, he would have to resort to any means necessary...
In the subsequent quarterfinals, Shrek Academy was fortunate enough to draw a very favorable opponent, selecting the weakest team among the eight. Ironically, it was an old acquaintance – the Zheng Tian Academy team that had previously caused Huo Yuhao and his friends so much trouble.
The final result was predictable. Even without Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen, the Shrek Academy team barely managed to win, especially with their two Soul Emperors and one Soul King. The outcome of this match was a foregone conclusion. Zhengtian Academy was utterly defeated. The Shrek Academy team trampled them all to advance to the semifinals.
The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has come to a close, and the end also means the arrival of the greatest crisis.
After this period of arduous training and the twists and turns he has encountered, Su's soul power has increased to level 33. It's just a pity that he is still one step short of the Lingmen. If he were given more time, he would definitely be able to break through to level 34.
With each level up, Su Yu's strength will leap to another level. Although Su Yu is not yet able to match Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi when they are at their full power, given a little more time, Su Yu can guarantee that he will be invincible at least below the fifth ring!
The battle meeting before the quarterfinals and semifinals lasted for three hours. Su Yu knew that his opponent this time was definitely that old woman, Xu Jiujiu.
If I don't take this great opportunity, wouldn't I be letting down you, my wife, who's been making things difficult for me all along? I'm going to settle this score now and slap you across the face first!
It wasn't just Shrek's team that was nervous; everyone else was too. After all, this battle would determine the final rankings, and for the other teams, winning would be a historic victory.
It's important to understand that any team that achieves a top ranking in the competition will receive exceptionally high treatment from every member, regardless of which faction they join. If they are appointed to a government position, they might even receive a noble title. This honor will accompany them for life!
It can be said that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has long become a major competition for countries across the continent to select and compete for elite talents.
If Shrek Academy weren't so prestigious, various noble forces, families, and even sects would probably have come to recruit these students long ago.
"It's so difficult, so incredibly difficult..." Su Yu sighed helplessly, staring at the documents in his hand.
Wang Yan had already left, leaving only the participants in the competition. Upon hearing Su Yu's words, everyone's eyes widened, and they all focused their attention on Su Yu.
"What's wrong, junior brother? Even you've lost confidence?" Bei Bei stood up and patted Su Yu on the shoulder.
Beibei's words not only added to the pressure on everyone's hearts, but also indicated that Beibei himself had the same worries.
Su Yu slowly stored the information in his hand into his soul tool. Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Su Yu slowly said, "I know that you all already have the answer in your hearts, but I can tell you that although the battle tomorrow will be dangerous, I firmly believe that we will win."
Looking at Su Yu's resolute expression, Huo Yuhao quietly tugged at Bei Bei and asked, "Senior Brother, do you think we can win the final championship?"
Although Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng are the strongest among them, Huo Yuhao has always trusted his senior brother the most. He is gentle and refined on the surface, but is actually extremely intelligent and approachable.
"Su Yu said we would win, and I believe Su Yu too. What, don't you believe Su Yu?" Although Bei Bei was a bit of a rascal, he was also very calm and composed. After all, as the great-grandson of Elder Mu, if he didn't even have this much experience and ability, then he would really be a disgrace to Elder Mu.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "I believe Su Yu's judgment, and I also believe Senior Brother's judgment. But after listening to Teacher Wang's analysis, our opponents are indeed very strong!"
"Since you have a plan, why don't you tell me? I believe you're not that reckless." After a long silence, He Caitou slowly spoke. He Caitou had begun to change, no longer the ugly, bald, and simple-minded man he once was.
Looking around at everyone, Su Yu slowly said, "Confidence is the pinnacle. Sometimes, there's no need to worry about too many things. If we lose all our fighting spirit because of our opponent's strength, wouldn't we be disgracing Shrek Academy? How can we then defend Shrek's honor? If we must fight, then let's fight!"
At this moment, a strange light appeared in everyone's eyes. Even Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen couldn't help but be slightly moved, and their gazes towards Su Yu changed slightly.
Bei Bei's smile faded slightly, and she said gently, "Confidence comes from strength. The reason why Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent is truly deserved because our academy's training never forces growth. Every member of our team who can participate in this competition has earned their current fighting power step by step through their own efforts. Therefore, our Soul Masters are different from those of other academies, Soul Grandmasters are different, and Soul Kings are even more different. At the Soul Emperor level, the gap widens even further. Perhaps our opponents can close this gap with Soul Tools or some strategies and tactics. However, as long as our foundation can be ignited by fighting spirit, as long as we can truly burn with the glory of Shrek, then we will surely win."
Beibei's words brought the atmosphere to another climax. The subsequent arrangements were entirely Beibei and Su Yu's show. If people didn't know that Beibei was the reserve team captain, they probably wouldn't be able to tell which of the two was the captain.
The meeting concluded successfully, but Huo Yuhao became interested in the topic of "forcing growth" mentioned by Bei Bei. In fact, not only Huo Yuhao, but even Ma Xiaotao was curious as to why Bei Bei, an outer court student, would know these things.
Ma Xiaotao's voice came from behind, "Junior Brother Beibei, you know quite a lot. How do you know so much about the inner courtyard when you're in the outer courtyard?"
Beibei turned around, smiled slightly at Ma Xiaotao, and said, "Senior, I think I'd better not say anything."
Ma Xiaotao was taken aback for a moment. "Why don't you say it? Say it."
The more Beibei resisted, the more curious Ma Xiaotao became. If Beibei had readily told her, Ma Xiaotao would definitely not have been interested. This is actually a common human failing, and can be considered a kind of instinctive, habitual way of thinking.
Since they're being so secretive, it must be something important...
But Beibei still dared to trick Ma Xiaotao once. Anyway, with Old Master Mu backing her, why would she give away anything?
It must be said that the preparations went exceptionally smoothly this time. Public speaking is an art, and the more one understands this art, the more potential one has to become a leader. Of course, in terms of true leadership ability, Beibei is still stronger than others in subtle ways.
After returning home, He Caitou and Wang Dong followed. He Caitou continued to study the soul tool, while Su Yu was responsible for providing the venue.
Su Yu wanted to conduct an experiment. He had absorbed a large amount of life force left over from the Life Gold, most of which he had already absorbed himself. Now, he wanted to give the remaining portion to Wang Dong.
Anyway, I won't lack this part, so it doesn't make much difference whether I have it or not.
That night, the two sat facing each other, palms touching, and a large amount of life force was continuously transferred into Wang Dong's body.
"Su Yu, you're lying to me again. This is clearly your life force. I can't take it back quickly..." Wang Dong was a little anxious. He thought that Su Yu was sacrificing his own life force to nourish him.
"Idiot, do you think I'm that stupid? This is good stuff, hurry up and absorb it, don't waste it. I'll tell you why after you've absorbed it, don't worry about me, okay?"
Su Yu increased the output of his life force. Although the vast majority of the life force was absorbed by Su Yu himself, the remaining small portion was still astonishingly large. After all, it was the gold of life, not just cabbage on the street!
Overnight, Wang Dong absorbed most of the life force contained in Su Yu's body. Nourished by the power of life, Wang Dong felt refreshed, his skin became more radiant, his eyes brighter, and his handsome face was rosy and incredibly cute.
It seems the benefits are quite obvious. Su Yu doesn't seem to care much, actually he doesn't care much, since it's a gift for Dong'er anyway.
As the morning sun illuminated the sky, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, waking up from his sleep.
That night, Su Yu didn't sleep much. He kept his eyes closed and rested. His mental strength was so great that he didn't need to sleep anymore. In fact, meditation was even more effective than sleeping.
When Wang Dong woke up, he found that Su Yu had already prepared breakfast and was sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly watching him.
"Stop daydreaming, we're in for a tough battle today." Su Yu affectionately pinched Wang Dong's nose, then gently fed him breakfast.
The visuals are undeniably beautiful, but to an outsider, there always seems to be something slightly off...
Wang Dong's face grew increasingly red, and Su Yu would gently wipe away any food residue that appeared at the corners of his mouth. These actions made Wang Dong fall into deep thought…
Should I...?
