Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 - Huang Chutian's Frustration

  Seeing that Su Yu's expression didn't seem fake, Ma Xiaotao grabbed him and left Sea God Lake, startling Huo Yuhao who was still standing there. "

  Damn it, I haven't even started my scam yet, why are you attacking me? Wait, at least let me finish my scam..."

  Su Yu felt the whistling wind in his ears and immediately regretted it. This situation was a complete failure of diverting trouble; he had directly brought trouble upon himself.

  As soon as they landed, Ma Xiaotao grabbed Su Yu and asked, "Since you know my situation, you must have a way to help me suppress the evil fire. If you can help me, I, Ma Xiaotao, will definitely not treat you unfairly."

  "I know your situation, but the person who can help you is not me. I can help you find him." Su Yu was overwhelmed by Ma Xiaotao's imposing aura and quickly pushed her hand away, pulling his collar back.

  "Tell me who it is, and I'll go find him. Just tell me." Ma Xiaotao is a little excited. She know very well how much the ice-attribute soul master had helped her suppress her evil fire for a while.

  "Senior, calm down. What if the evil fire gets out of control? At this close range, I might just turn into a pile of charred remains." Su Yu quickly reminded the somewhat agitated Ma Xiaotao. He don't want to become charred remains; dying like that would be too humiliating.

  "Okay, okay, I understand." Ma Xiaotao withdrew her soul power and sat opposite Su Yu.

  Seeing Ma Xiaotao calm down, Su Yu said, "The only person who can help you is Huo Yuhao, but in his current state, he can't help you suppress the evil fire. If you force it, Huo Yuhao will die, and you'll never find someone like him who could suppress your evil fire for you at Seagod Lake again."

  "Since Huo Yuhao can help me, why won't he admit it?" Ma Xiaotao is puzzled. The strength displayed by that ice-attribute soul master was clearly beyond what Huo Yuhao, a one-ring soul master, could achieve.

  Seeing Ma Xiaotao's anxious expression, Su Yu had to ask, "Senior, do you believe in twin souls?"

  Su Yu's words clearly startled Ma Xiaotao. She stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She didn't believe Huo Yuhao could have twin souls; if he did, how could his first soul ring be a ten-year soul ring?

  "What are you trying to say?" Ma Xiaotao vaguely guessed something; Su Yu was clearly hiding something.

  "Since you already know, senior, I don't need to say anything more. If you trust me, give me about half a year, no more than a year, and I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Su Yu didn't want to reveal any more.

  Ma Xiaotao wasn't stupid. Although she was a bit clueless about priorities, she took the Evil Fire matter extremely seriously, as it concerned her life.

  "Alright, I'll give you a year. If you can't get Huo Yuhao to help me by then, don't blame me for being ruthless."

  Although Ma Xiaotao doesn't quite believe Su Yu, she know that even if she pressed him, she will not be able to find the ice-attribute soul master.

  After leaving Su Yu back at the Sea God Lake, Ma Xiaotao hurriedly left.

  Su Yu was quite helpless about this, after all, his martial soul was only a mirror, he didn't have an ice-attribute martial soul, and he didn't have twin martial souls.

  He could only appease Ma Xiaotao for now and leave the future to Huo Yuhao.

  "Yuhao, I admit I was betraying you, but it was for your own good..."

  Back in the dorm, seeing Su Yu's disheveled clothes and even burn marks on his body, Wang Dong suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for him.

  After briefly explaining the situation to Huo Yuhao, the matter passed like a minor incident, though Su Yu didn't tell Huo Yuhao what he and Ma Xiaotao had discussed.

....

  The next day's assessment saw them drawn against the twins' team.

  "My name is Huang Chutian. On the left is Lan Susu, and on the right is Lan Luoluo. Please guide me."

  "Su Yu, Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, please guide us." Since the other side had introduced themselves, Su Yu couldn't remain silent.

  Wang Dong stand in the middle, taking the lead this time, with Su Yu positioned to Wang Dong's right rear, and Huo Yuhao in the very back corner. 

  Wang Dong's offensive prowess is key, but Su Yu isn't worried about his self-preservation. Huo Yuhao, however, is different. In terms of offensive ability, Huo Yuhao is basically the weakest.

  But the core of every match is undoubtedly Huo Yuhao. He may seem insignificant, but his ultimate cheat—wallhack, aimbot, and even script-based abilities—is the real focus. Everyone knows to protect the carry in team fights; how could they not protect such an important cheat like Huo Yuhao?

  "The assessment begins!"

  As Wang Yan's voice fell, both sides quickly released their martial souls.

  Just then, Su Yu said, "Leave Huang Chutian to me. Wang Dong, go separate those two twins. Their martial soul is hair; they can use martial soul fusion skills. We absolutely cannot let them have a chance to use it!"

  "Roger!" Wang Dong's two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, lit up from his feet, and the Goddess of Light Butterfly bloomed behind him, charging straight towards Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.

  The Goddess of Light Butterfly bloomed, and the two girls' gazes towards Wang Dong instantly changed; it seemed as if they could see shining stars in their eyes.

  Then, the two sisters didn't hold back either. Their spirit rings appeared, both two yellow. With a flick of their hair, the blue hair behind their heads flew wildly, blooming in the air, with strands over ten meters long flying through the air, creating a scene somewhat like a spider web.

  Huang Chutian roared, pounding his chest with both fists. Then, he released his martial spirit, instantly growing from a height of about 1.5 meters to over 1.8 meters. His pitiful school uniform was instantly torn by his muscles.

  Looking at his iron-black skin and the fragments of his school uniform on the ground, Su Yu's thoughts drifted.

  It seems the textile and clothing industries are the economic pillars of the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, if everyone continued to produce like this, wouldn't there be no clothes to wear?

  Why aren't your pants torn? Are they the same style as the Hulk's?

  Despite his grumbling, seeing Huang Chutian transformed into a gorilla, Su Yu used the Ghost Shadow Step, appearing in front of Huang Chutian first, just as Huang Chutian was about to leap up.

  Su Yu threw a punch, choosing to meet Huang Chutian's fist just as Huang Chutian was about to gather his strength.

  Bang!

  Their punches collided, both staggering back several steps. However, before Huang Chutian could regain his footing, Su Yu reappeared, activating the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon technique, pulling Huang Chutian backward and slamming a Mysterious Jade Hand strike into Huang Chutian's back.

  "What kind of soul skill is this? Your speed... how can it be..."

  Huang Chutian grow increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Su Yu's soul power is clearly inferior to his own, and his martial soul doesn't of the agility type, yet every attack Su Yu made is a step faster, preventing Huang Chutian from unleashing his full power.

  Furthermore, Su Yu is using an extremely strange soul skill that made it impossible for Huang Chutian to maintain his balance. Even when he throw a punch, Su Yu's strange soul skill control the force with exquisite precision, rendering Huang Chutian unable to exert much power.

  From beginning to end, Huang Chutian is extremely frustrated. He can have easily knocked away the one-ring Soul Master in front of him by simply using his Soul Skill, but his opponent will not give him a chance. The opponent is as slippery as an eel, impossible to catch or hit, and constantly attack him when he is off-balance.

  Seeing Huang Chutian's frustrated expression, Su Yu couldn't help but chuckle. Do he think the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon Technique just a joke?

  It must be said that Huang Chutian's Hercules Ape defense is indeed astonishing. He was hit by Su Yu's Mysterious Jade Hand several times, but only his body trembled, making his face turn somewhat pale, but still failing to inflict sufficient damage.

  On the other side, Wang Dong, riding his butterfly wings, constantly weaved through the dense hair. He seemed trapped, but the hair net repeatedly surrounded him, yet Wang Dong always managed to escape at the last moment.

  The massive hair net continuously contracted, trapping Wang Dong within. Looking at the smiling twin sisters opposite him, Wang Dong didn't panic as expected. Instead, he stood quietly in the air, watching helplessly as the hairnet enveloped him.
