Chapter 225 Turbulent Times
Chapter 225 A Stormy Era Begins (Part 1)
This scene shocked Huo Yuhao. Just as he calmed down, he was met with Luo Yu's heavy punch again.
boom!
The Ice Emperor's protective shield was completely shattered by this punch, and even Huo Yuhao was knocked heavily to the ground. Using the force of the punch, Huo Yuhao rolled away. At the same time, the Chaotic Feedback Restriction Bracelet in his hand was also freed with the help of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor.
Before Huo Yuhao could gather his soul power, a hand grabbed his arm again, and a series of movements, including an elbow strike, a hook punch, and a knee strike, were executed smoothly.
Luo Yu's fists rained down on Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao had no soul power left to defend against Luo Yu's attacks. He could only use his last bit of soul power to protect his vitals. He knew that he couldn't fight back or even protect himself.
it hurts……
This was Huo Yuhao's first reaction, but his powerful mental strength wouldn't allow him to faint.
"puff!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Huo Yuhao was sent flying by Luo Yu's punch, crashing heavily into the soul-guided protective shield of the arena. Snowflakes scattered, and the ice on the arena shattered completely, eventually dissipating into the air.
"Cough cough..." Huo Yuhao struggled to stand up, rubbing his chest, and said with a wry smile, "I lost."
The match ended with Luo Yu emerging victorious.
"The Sun and Moon Empire will surely prevail! Fallen Feather is invincible!"
"Falling Feathers will surely prevail!"
…………
With Bei Bei's help, Huo Yuhao walked off the stage with a pained expression. Luo Yu didn't say anything, turned around and left the stage, returning to Monroe's side.
As it turns out, this match was very necessary. At the very least, it made those young guys from the Sun and Moon Team realize their own strength. Although we don't know what the Tang Sect Team was thinking, their goal was ultimately achieved.
Huo Yuhao's expression was somewhat grim as he asked, "Senior Brother, if we join forces, do you think we have a chance to defeat that guy?"
Beibei shook her head with a wry smile, "Junior brother, I don't know either, this battle was too chaotic..."
"Never mind, let's talk about it when we get back." Huo Yuhao slowly left the competition venue.
As the Tang Clan members departed, the entire Soul Guidance Trial Grounds erupted in chaos.
"Please be quiet, everyone, I have a few words to say."
As Luo Yu's voice faded, the once noisy Soul Guidance Trial Grounds quickly quieted down. Often, Luo Yu's words were more effective than their teachers', making this a memorable moment for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
The following words were actually prepared in advance by Jing Hongchen; they were nothing more than words of encouragement for the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy to continue their efforts.
Of course, although these words are often said by their teachers, the effect of saying them now is completely different. The words are still the same, but it depends on who says them.
Mingyue Hotel.
Looking at the injured Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei asked, "Yuhao, are you alright?"
Huo Yuhao's expression was somewhat strange. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's alright, that guy..."
Halfway through his sentence, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh silently.
"Simply put, as things stand, our chances of defeating the Sun and Moon Team are very low. Judging from this encounter, that guy named Luo Yu is terrifyingly strong. I can't tell how powerful his martial soul is, but he seems to be covered in soul tools. His attacks are a combination of various soul tools. Just from his simple attack methods, you can never guess what type of soul tool he's using to hit you..."
After this battle, Huo Yuhao was left with some lingering trauma. After all, he couldn't understand why the Soul Guidance Heavy Sword could be equipped with electric shocks, the Restriction Bracelet could be used on his opponent in close combat, and even the Palm Thunder Cannon, a powerful close-range attack Soul Guidance Device, could be manufactured.
Has the development of Soul Masters reached this point?
Huo Yuhao almost roared these words in his heart. After all, he knew that if he hadn't relied on the power of Bingdi and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in this battle, he would have lost even more miserably.
In truth, Huo Yuhao was unaware that these things originated from Su Yu's own ideas. Many of Luo Yu's secrets hadn't yet been revealed, as revealing certain things too early would diminish their significance. Furthermore, this was merely a friendly spar; there was no need to expose all his trump cards before the real competition even began.
Meanwhile, the three great empires also learned of this exchange, and differing opinions arose within their ranks.
Regarding the Su family's affairs, the Star Luo Empire specifically sent an envoy to Shrek Academy to explain that the Su family's affairs were unrelated to them, and to request that Shrek Academy recruit Su Yu from the Sun Moon Empire to serve the Star Luo Empire.
However, Shrek did not give a direct response on this matter, only telling the Star Luo Empire that they would consider it at their discretion. This meeting put some pressure on the Star Luo Empire, and in order to show their sincerity, the Star Luo Empire also offered a generous gift if Su Yu was willing to return.
The news was quickly delivered to the Su family, and the current head of the Su family responded that he would do his best to cooperate with the empire's request to bring Su Yu back to the country as soon as possible. However, Su Yu himself did not give a clear answer.
The movements of the three great empires are relatively stable now, but Su Yu knows that the three great empires are not of one mind. Border frictions have always been common. If there were a Shrek Academy that was independent of the three great empires, and its students were basically nobles from the three great empires, it would be equivalent to providing the three great empires with a basic layer of joint protection.
Otherwise, the three great empires would have been at war long ago. The Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire border the Sun Moon Empire, and border conflicts have been ongoing for years. However, because of the reputation of Shrek Academy, the conflicts have always been kept under control.
This restraint won't last long. Number One has been stolen, Number Two's experiment is nearing its end, and Number Three's experiment is officially starting. If Number Two can truly take that step, the borders of the three great empires will be quickly swept by the mecha legion, and no amount of Title Douluo and Super Douluo will be of any use.
However, these questions were known only to a very small number of people within the Sun Moon Empire. The people of the three great empires were completely kept in the dark. They even believed that even if war broke out, Shrek Academy would lead them to defeat the Sun Moon Empire again and defend the glory of Douluo Continent, just as it had done eight thousand years ago.
Unfortunately, times have changed...
"Are you the head of the Su family?" A middle-aged man wearing a long robe with the Star Luo royal emblem embroidered on his chest asked slowly.
"Sorry, you've got the wrong person. Patriarch Su is in the Star Luo Empire, this is the Sun Moon Empire." Su Yu coldly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and rejected his words.
The middle-aged man sat down on the sofa opposite Su Yu and said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Xu Jiayan. I have come on the Emperor's orders to invite Patriarch Su for a talk."
Su Yu looked at the person in front of him and said, "I don't think I've violated any laws of the Star Luo Empire, nor have I offended any powerful figures in the Star Luo Empire. It seems we don't have anything worth discussing, do we?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Xu Jiayan quickly smiled and said, "Patriarch Su, you have misunderstood. His Majesty came here today to invite Patriarch Su to join the Star Luo Empire's military and serve the royal family. If Patriarch Su can agree, His Majesty will give you a very generous gift."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Really?"
Seeing that Su Yu's expression had softened, Xu Jiayan conveyed the matter of the Shrek meeting to Su Yu. Before departing, the royal family also allowed him to disclose information about the meeting to a certain extent.
"I will consider your invitation. In that case, please leave, Lord Xu." Su Yu politely gave him the order to leave.
After the servants politely saw Xu Jiayan off at the manor, Su Yu stood at the window on the third floor, watching Xu Jiayan's figure gradually disappear.
He knew that the Star Luo Empire valued Su Yu's worth, not his potential. The soul guide blueprints he brought back from his studies at Mingde Hall, along with the soul guide knowledge from Mingde Hall, were things that could enable the Star Luo Empire to achieve a qualitative leap.
Because they learned from Shrek Academy that the blueprints Su Yu brought back from Mingde Hall were so complex that no one in the entire Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy could decipher or even understand them!
Although these were just casual remarks from Yan Shaozhe, they brought Xu Jiawei an immense shock!
He realized that Su Yu's value could not be simply measured by his strength. In fact, Su Yu's value was definitely no less than that of a Title Douluo. From a strategic point of view, even a Title Douluo might not be as useful as Su Yu!
However, Xu Jiawei also knew that it seemed a little too late to think about it now.
After all, many things involving the Su family had already caused considerable unpleasantness between the two sides, and even after the major upheaval that befell the Su family, he hadn't even offered a word of concern. Unconsciously, Su Yu seemed to be drifting further and further away from them…
"Young master, the master says he wants you to come to Mingde Hall. Madam is waiting for you there."
A servant's announcement interrupted Su Yu's thoughts. Su Yu stood up and said, "Understood."
Upon arriving at Mingde Hall and seeing Mu Hanyan chatting and laughing with the teachers there, Su Yu knew he had fallen into a wolf's den.
"Mom, I'm here."
Su Yu looked at Su Xinyuan, who was grinning from ear to ear, and finally decided to speak up and break the harmonious scene.
"So you're actually Mu Hanyan's son!"
A very familiar voice sounded from behind Su Yu. Looking at the old man in front of him, Su Yu didn't know how to respond to him.
Heavily in debt and the "forever" series.
I haven't had time lately, I'll post this during the Chinese New Year, so I'm just writing this temporarily.
