After being infused with Su Yu's soul power, the fragments surprisingly emitted a sharp light, much like it become his second martial soul.
With a wave of his hand, the fragments converged in his hands, eventually forming two sharp weapons, like two short swords.
'Hmm, short swords? Interesting, Let me see if I can turn them into something else?'
Su Yu's thoughts stirred, and then the fragments returned to their original form, then spun around Su Yu continuously.
Sizzle...
'Damn it, I forgot this is my dormitory, my bed...'
The fragments swirled around, like sharp blades, directly piercing through Su Yu's bed, leaving it riddled with holes. Looking at his blanket, now a tattered sack, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of helplessness.
Boom!
A loud noise rang out, startling Wang Dong, who still cultivating, and then he (she) looked at the dusty and disheveled Su Yu in surprise.
"Su Yu, are you blowing up the dorm?"
Su Yu's bed was now a pile of rubble. Climbing out of the ruins, Su Yu looked helplessly at Wang Dong. "No, there was a little accident. By the way, how do I report a bed being repaired in the dorm again..."
Wang Dong: "..."
Su Yu: "..."
...
That night, Su Yu unfortunately slept on the floor. Although he tried several times to squeeze into Wang Dong's bed, Wang Dong ruthlessly kicked him off.
"Is there no justice in this world? We're all guys, can't I squeeze into my bed for one night if my bed is broken?" Su Yu complained bitterly, sitting on his makeshift bed on the floor.
Wang Dong, looking terrified, hugged his blanket. "I'd rather die than let you onto my bed tonight! No way! Don't come any closer, or don't blame me for being rude!"
"We're roommates, can't I squeeze in? The floor is so cold, aren't you worried I'll catch a cold? Can't we be roommates properly?" Su Yu still spoke arrogantly.
"Get lost!"
Wang Dong kicked again, clearly extremely displeased with Su Yu's actions. However, this kick landed squarely on Su Yu's stomach, nearly making him vomit up his leftover food.
"Ouch, I was just kidding, it didn't have to be like this, ouch..."
Su Yu clutched his stomach, squatting on the ground, gritting his teeth and hissing in pain. Caught completely off guard, he'd taken a solid kick from Wang Dong.
"Su Yu, what's wrong? Are you alright? I didn't mean to, I..."
Wang Dong panicked. He hadn't expected Su Yu, who had just recovered from his injuries, to fail to dodge the kick, as Su Yu's condition was still unstable.
"My injury hasn't healed yet, and you hit me again! It hurts so much..."
Seeing this, Su Yu immediately rolled around on the floor, clutching his stomach, yelling in pain and struggling dramatically.
"I didn't mean to, Su Yu, I..."
Wang Dong is also at a loss. Little do he (she) know, Su Yu is already lively and energetic, and has even made some progress; he is just still unfamiliar with the current situation.
"Wang Dong..." Su Yu's voice is weak, "Let me lie down for a while, it's uncomfortable for my wound to lie on the floor
." Wang Dong, though initially reluctant, ultimately felt guilty seeing Su Yu's pained expression.
"But I've made a promise, just this once, no crossing the line!"
Wang Dong drew a line in the middle of the bed with his hand, warning him.
Su Yu, understanding the situation, took out a blanket from his storage device, and the two lay back-to-back on the same bed, falling asleep obediently.
That night, Su Yu sleep exceptionally well; he can smell a faint fragrance, a scent that always made him feel a little itchy.
When he woke up, Su Yu is somewhat dazed as he washed up, while Wang Dong is also a little confused, wondering why he (she) had made the decision to have Su Yu squeeze in the bed last night…
They look at each other awkwardly for a moment. Su Yu was naturally thick-skinned, but he could see that Wang Dong's fair skin was now as red as a peach, all the way down to his neck.
"There's an assessment today, don't be late, let's go..."
The two rushed to the assessment venue. Seeing Su Yu and Wang Dong's slightly disheveled hair and the strange looks they gave each other, the simple-minded Huo Yuhao looked somewhat bewildered.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Su Yu immediately ran over and asked, "Did you open the thing I gave you yesterday?"
The box Su Yu had given Huo Yuhao yesterday didn't actually contain anything special: a Mystic Water Pill and another pill to enhance soul power.
These things weren't lacking for Su Yu, especially since Huo Yuhao needed them more than he did. If he hadn't been given a Mystic Water Pill, Huo Yuhao's soul power would have already reached level seventeen, not the current level sixteen.
Sometimes, everything is just a matter of fate...
"Su Yu, you..." Huo Yuhao was about to speak when Su Yu waved his hand to stop him.
"Alright, does my family lack money? You gave me a Mystic Water Pill before too, good things should be shared, right?" Su
Yu spoke eloquently, and just then Wang Dong came over, looking at them with a mysterious expression.
"Su Yu, you've been protecting Huo Yuhao every step of the way since the start of the semester. I'm starting to suspect you have some kind of bad habit..."
"Huh? Me?" Su Yu and Huo Yuhao were both puzzled. They really has not expected Wang Dong to say anything like that.
Wang Dong looked at the two puzzled men meaningfully. "From the very beginning of the semester, you've been protecting Yuhao every step of the way. Yuhao even gave you such a precious pill as the Mystic Water Pill. What do you call this? Isn't this a feeling between men that transcends friendship? Hahaha..."
Wang Dong laughed more and more heartily, while Su Yu and Huo Yuhao's faces grew darker and darker.
"Wang Dong, stop!"
"Help! Su Yu, stop chasing me..." Wang Dong was incredibly decisive, immediately unleashing his Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul and running forward desperately.
Su Yu chased after him relentlessly with a dark face. Seeing his fierce appearance, Wang Dong dared not stop any longer.
"Ah, you told me to stop? Why are you chasing me! Only an idiot would stop, I won't!"
Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly was clearly faster than Su Yu's, and there was still some time before their turn to go on stage. He was confident that Su Yu could catch up with him at his speed.
"If you don't run, how can I catch you? Stop right there! The assessment is about to start, where do you think you're going?" Su Yu continued his relentless pursuit. If he didn't teach this guy a lesson this time, he was really pushing his luck!
"If you don't chase me, how can I run? You're clearly teaming up with Huo Yuhao to bully me, only a fool wouldn't run!" Just as Wang Dong was running at top speed, he suddenly crashed into a transparent wall.
"The competition is about to start, and you're still fooling around! Wang Dong, get down!"
Zhou Yi waved her hand, revealing her six-ring Soul Emperor cultivation, and grabbed Wang Dong.
Looking at the two so close, Wang Dong could only smile awkwardly. But seeing Su Yu's darkened face, he could only grit his teeth and accept being caught by Zhou Yi.
The number of people on the viewing platform today was significantly greater than yesterday; many matches were already packed before they even started. However, something strange was that a three-square-meter open space had been left in the center of the platform.
An elderly man with disheveled hair and tattered clothes sat there, his bare feet propped up on the edge of the platform, drinking wine from a large, purplish-red gourd.
Several roasted chicken legs lay on oiled paper beside him, and he held one in his own hand, enjoying his meal with gusto. Those who could watch from the platform were all teachers from Shrek Academy, yet no one dared approach the old man, and no one questioned him.
Hmm, Elder Xuan?
Elder Xuan's position was very conspicuous; Su Yu could spot him at a glance. With his Godly Taotie Bull martial soul, he would later become a big shot at Shrek Academy. In the original story, he took Xiao Xiao as his disciple. Su Yu wondered if his appearance now would be the same as in the original story.
Huo Yuhao drew the lots. Su Yu, considering himself unlucky, really didn't want to suffer a stroke of bad luck; if he drew Dai Huabin, wouldn't he die on the spot?
The competition area expanded again, with eight spacious arenas starting matches simultaneously.
"Damn it, Huo, is your luck tied to the world? It's still unchanged! How am I supposed to fight? Tell me how!"
Looking at his opponent, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. He should have sent Wang Dong, or even himself. Why did it have to be exactly the same as the original story?
Despite his complaints, Su Yu was pretty much certain of one thing: things related to Huo Yuhao wouldn't change, but he could deviate from the original trajectory in some matters—but only certain things.
The three opponents lined up horizontally as soon as they entered the arena. Standing in the center was a tall, fat man. Judging by his age, he couldn't be more than twelve, but his physique was far too precocious; from a distance, he looked like a living gas cylinder…
The two beside him looked like a giant bear and a little rabbit compared to him…
The other two seemed to be brothers, but they didn't have the features of twins. The only thing that caught Su Yu's attention was their long arms.
Were they reincarnated gibbons? Why do people have such long arms? Don't they know it looks bad?
"Both sides state their names and prepare for the match," the proctor said in a deep voice.
Gas Canister slammed his chest, sending his bulky body trembling.
"Class 2, Xie Huanyue!"
"Class 2, Luo Tianlong!"
"Class 2, Luo Tianba."
Those two brothers had imposing names, but looking at their thin, long-armed figures, Su Yu's mind was filled with the image of that monkey running rampant in the rainforest...
