Haotianbao.
"You're back? Tell me how you knew our identities?" Niu Tian said slowly, sitting in the main hall.
Su Yu was silent for a moment before asking, "When did you discover that?"
"When you suddenly asked if Titan's name wasn't Yuan Enming, I didn't pay much attention at the time. I just thought it must be something Xiao Dong'er told you. But later, Titan really found the Yuan En family, and it turned out that the Yuan En family were his descendants. So I think you should know about Titan's and my identities." Niu Tian's gaze swept over Su Yu, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The people Xiao Dong'er approves of are indeed extraordinary.
"I consulted Shrek Academy's records and read through all the accounts of the Clear Sky Sect and the first Tang Sect Master from ten thousand years ago. I did my homework before I set off. However, when I arrived at Clear Sky Fortress, I discovered that the Clear Sky Sect Master did not possess the Clear Sky Hammer as his martial soul. Moreover, your martial soul and Uncle Titan's martial soul are the two soul beasts that accompanied the first Tang Sect Master to godhood ten thousand years ago."
"Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. However, so far, neither of these two martial souls exists on the continent. The only one I can find is the Yuanen family, but the ancestors of the Yuanen family have long since disappeared. Therefore, I have to guess that your identities are those two from before. However, this is still not entirely certain. But what I am certain of is that Uncle Titan is definitely related to the Yuanen family."
"So how did you determine that Titan and I are Da Ming and Er Ming?" A faint killing intent flashed in Niu Tian's eyes. He now felt that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him.
"Because your strength has long surpassed that of Elder Mu. My teacher told me that your strength is still above Elder Mu! This is the decisive evidence! So after that, I concluded that Uncle Niu Tian and Uncle Titan were the former Da Ming and Er Ming. That's why I dared to ask whether Uncle Titan had ever lived in the human world under the name Yuan Enming."
Su Yu tried his best to organize his thoughts and make his words as coherent as possible.
"You're very clever, so clever that it's impossible to guess what your purpose is. But I don't care about any of that. I trust Xiaodong'er's judgment, and I trust you too. Go back now, I won't keep you this time."
"However, I have another question for Uncle Niu Tian. I don't know if I should ask it?" Su Yu asked cautiously, afraid that Niu Tian would slap him and send him flying.
Niu Tian raised his head, frowned at Su Yu's timid gaze, and asked, "You don't mean to ask about Xiao Dong'er's identity, do you?"
"I don't know Dong'er's identity, but I can guess. Moreover, she has the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, which means she is indeed a member of the Clear Sky Sect. Furthermore, she is also the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, which means that Dong'er's parents were actually the sect master and his wife who went on a journey. As for the question I want to ask, it's actually very simple."
Su Yu tried his best not to be too outrageous, otherwise the person above him would flip the table and quit.
"You don't want to ask..." Niu Tian frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.
Seeing that things were about to go wrong, Su Yu immediately said, "Don't misunderstand, I just want to know if the God Realm really exists?"
"You know perfectly well what I'm asking. Get lost!"
Niu Tianyi raised his hand and escorted Su Yu out of Haotian Fortress. Looking at the tightly closed main hall, Su Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
This old guy's been in a bad mood lately...
After leaving the main hall, Su Yu immediately got up and rushed to Shrek Academy. When Su Yu arrived at Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe told Su Yu some news about the competition.
In the final stage, the Shrek team faced the Tangmen team, and the Sun and Moon team faced the Holy Spirit team.
The Tang Clan was defeated and stopped at the semi-finals.
The Holy Spirit Team was defeated by the Sun and Moon Team, but the captain of the Sun and Moon Team has never officially made a move. He only broke through the Holy Spirit Team's defense at a crucial moment, and finally, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's martial soul fusion skill completed the final blow.
However, Tang Sect lost; in other words, the previous generation of Shrek Academy lost to the current Shrek Academy's main members.
In their duel, Wang Qiu'er overpowered Huo Yuhao, while the Netherworld White Tiger suppressed Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. With the full support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Wang Qiu'er finally defeated Huo Yuhao and, together with the Netherworld White Tiger, ended the Tang Sect team's battle!
The finals will be held in three days, with the Tangmen team and the Holy Spirit team competing for third place, and the Sun and Moon team and the Shrek team competing for first place!
Su Yu wasn't particularly affected by this news. These results were largely in line with his expectations. He knew all too well how terrifying Wang Qiu'er was with Ning Tian's full support.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao's current strength is insufficient to defeat even his own clone, let alone defeat Wang Qiu'er, who has been fully amplified by Ning Tian.
"You don't seem surprised by this outcome?" Elder Xuan asked slowly, standing in front of the golden treehouse on Seagod Island.
Su Yu replied, "Whether we win or lose, isn't it just an internal war within Shrek Academy? What's so surprising about it? Don't be arrogant in victory, and don't be discouraged in defeat, isn't that what it means?"
Elder Xuan nodded. "Not bad, as expected of someone Elder Mu values. You're far more mature than them, it's just a pity you didn't want to stay at Shrek Academy. You came back this time for the graduation assessment, right?"
Su Yu said seriously, "Since Elder Xuan already knows, why ask?"
"I already know about the Su family's affairs, but perhaps going to work in the Star Luo Empire wouldn't be so bad for you. Besides, you're also a citizen of the Star Luo Empire, and the Star Luo royal family won't hold anything about the past against you anymore." Elder Xuan frowned slightly, a hint of melancholy appearing between his brows.
"If we're really going to categorize it, my mother is from the Sun Moon Empire, so I'm practically half a Sun Moon Empire citizen. My father didn't want to get involved with the Star Luo Empire's royal family back then, and what happened in the end? I spent over two years as an exchange student in the Sun Moon Empire. After returning to the academy, I handed over everything I had learned in the East and West without compensation, choosing to cooperate with the Hall Master for the sake of my family's interests. But what was the result?"
"The Su family has been restricted and burdened with some unfounded accusations. Because of a cooperation, what the Star Luo Empire wants is never the soul tool, but everything the Su family has, and everything I have learned. I understand your plans and the academy's intentions, but there are some things I don't want to get involved in. If it really can't be changed, I think I will submit my notice of voluntary withdrawal from the academy tomorrow as the head of the Su family."
Su Yu's attitude was firm. He knew very well that cooperating with the Star Luo Empire's royal family was like asking a tiger for its skin, even though he himself was the tiger.
However, once you get involved with them, you can't do many things, such as the experimentation and development of soul spirits, the research on soul tools, and even the things you've learned.
Once many things fall into the hands of others, you are now completely at a disadvantage.
This is not some ordinary cooperative game, nor is it a matter of sufficient sincerity; it is a matter of Su Yu's own life and fortune.
He knew very well that Di Tian would not let him die, but if it really came to that, there would be no place for him in the human world.
His current situation is precarious; he's caught between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and choosing either side is not a good option...
However, this is also a good development for him, such as the Yuanen family.
This is the plan. The next step is to watch the show. The final act will always be after the final.
"Sigh, never mind. Your temper has never disappointed. Go ahead, I'll explain things to the Star Luo Empire. As for your graduation exam, just bring those guys back safely. Go, Patriarch Su."
Seeing the somewhat wistful expression on Elder Xuan's face, Su Yu bowed to him and unfolded his flying vehicle. With Elder Xuan watching him go, Su Yu departed Shrek City.
"It seems I should also go and take a look at Mingdu..." Elder Xuan muttered to himself.
…………
"Cough cough... Yuhao, we lost..." Beibei said with difficulty.
Huo Yuhao felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had lost. Yes, he had lost...
He lost to Dai Huabin and his former underdogs, and this was the first time he had taken over as captain from Su Yu, but he still lost the game!
"Yes, we lost..." The Tang Clan members in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment.
After losing Su Yu, their smooth sailing made them completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem. It wasn't until they truly encountered a desperate situation that they realized that there was only one core figure who was truly important.
The core of Shrek's strangeness is not the Shrek Seven Devils, but their former substitute who absolutely refused to participate in the competition.
"Is there still no news from Su Yu? You said we lost to the academy, what if Su Yu...?" Xu Sanshi asked, looking at Huo Yuhao's pained expression.
Beibei sighed and said, "Although we lost, we didn't lose to the Sun Moon Empire; we lost to our academy's team. I still hope they can defeat the Sun Moon Empire like we did back then and defend the glory of Shrek Academy!"
Beibei's words stirred up some of the crowd's gloomy mood. So what if they lost? They lost to the academy anyway.
"Beibei, if Su Yu were here, would we have lost?" He Caitou remained silent for a long time before finally asking slowly.
With tears welling in her eyes, Wang Dong'er slowly said, "With him here, we won't lose..."
"But..." Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong'er and said anxiously.
"No buts, we lost, and that's it. Let's get ready for the final in three days."
Seeing everyone's dejected mood, Beibei knew that this blow was too great for both herself and everyone else...
The powerful Wang Qiu'er, the terrifying Netherworld White Tiger...
These things felt like a heavy blow to their hearts.
Su Yu, you're right. We need to work hard ourselves, instead of always following behind you!
Mingyue Hotel, top floor!
"We won! We defeated the Shrek Seven Devils! Long live the Captain!" Zhou Sichen cheered happily.
Dai Huabin excitedly exclaimed, "We won! Yes, we won!"
…………
The excitement was contagious, even the senior sister who came with them was smiling especially happily. The new generation of Shrek Academy is even better than before.
However, Tang Sect lost. Although Zhang Lexuan felt sorry for Bei Bei, she believed even more that Shrek Academy's glory was hard-won!
"He's right, we won. The most crucial moment was with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. That guy, how does he know everything..."
Wang Qiu'er looked at her senior sister and murmured to herself.
"So you know how amazing that guy is? His real strengths go beyond just this one thing. No wonder you're attracted to him." Zhang Lexuan swirled the crystal goblet in her hand, a blush creeping onto her face.
Wang Qiu'er smiled and didn't avoid the topic, "Does Senior Sister think I'm interested?"
"Isn't that right? You always unconsciously think of Su Yu. You are very similar to me in the past, and even your personalities are similar. So I understand your thoughts too well."
Watching Zhang Lexuan drink down the glasses of bright red wine, Wang Qiu'er also picked up her glass and took a small sip.
"Drinking may give us an opportunity to escape, but, Senior Sister, you're wrong..."
Wang Qiu'er picked up her wine glass, stood in front of the mirror, admiring her stunning beauty, and slowly said, "My name is Wang Qiu'er. I met Su Yu when I enrolled in school."
"I've known Su Yu for a long time. I know him very well, and I understand exactly what you mean."
"Feelings are a very complicated thing, so complicated that I can't even figure it out myself. You don't know how long I've known Su Yu, nor do you know how well I understand him, so you've always thought I've fallen for him. But you're wrong..."
Wang Qiu'er stroked the wine glass in her hand, admiring the slight blush that appeared on her face.
So beautiful...
Zhang Lexuan smiled. "How long? You can't possibly say you've known Su Yu for years, can you?"
"That's not important, but my feelings for him aren't romantic love, Senior Sister. I know your concerns, and I'm well aware that he has someone he likes. But do you think I, Wang Qiu'er, am such a brainless and stupid woman?"
If we have to pinpoint when they met, Wang Qiu'er met Su Yu about four years ago.
The human world is wonderful, but it is also very complex, so complex that you can't see through it all. You can only explore it yourself and carefully try to take each step forward.
"You're better than I was back then, but I still think you and Luo Yu are a good match because you're more like him five years ago, hahaha..."
Zhang Lexuan pinched Wang Qiu'er's stunning face and smiled as she looked at herself and Wang Qiu'er in the mirror.
"The world is complex and wonderful. In a person's life, once someone paves the way for you, your life will become smooth. Senior Sister, he is my friend, a friend that no one else can replace in my life."
is it?
Yes, because these are the friends I, Wang Qiu'er, acknowledge!
