Some things you can give up, but some things you shouldn't. If you need broader development in the future, and you don't have a powerful backer to support you, don't even think about becoming like Huo Yuhao.
It sounds cruel, but in the Douluo Continent, either you have a sect behind you, or you have a powerful Title Douluo-level figure behind you; otherwise, don't even think about single-handedly dominating the present era.
By the Sea God Lake, Elder Xuan was still leisurely eating chicken legs. With his Gluttonous Divine Ox martial soul, if he kept eating, theoretically it possible for him to get a way to godhood though his appetite.
"You said the freshman class did produce a few good youngsters, but that class monitor is really not up to par. That girl with twin martial souls, Wang Dong with the Goddess of Light Butterfly, and that Su Yu are also quite good." Elder Xuan took a swig of wine and continued eating his chicken leg.
Wang Yan was somewhat anxious and hurriedly said, "But, Elder Xuan, his martial soul is a physical martial soul!"
Elder Xuan still disagreed with Wang Yan's point of view, saying, "You should know what the most important thing about a physical martial soul is. It's potential, it's the combat mutation of the martial soul. Whether it's today's competition or previous competitions, Huo Yuhao's martial soul hasn't shown any powerful abilities. Even his shared mental detection is only a relatively strong support ability. A special soul skill can't determine everything."
Wang Yan is somewhat unwilling, but he cannot refute Elder Xuan's words, because what Elder Xuan said is true.
Elder Xuan glanced at Wang Yan, got up and left the shore of Sea God Lake, "Those two little guys can be considered as backups, as for that Huo Yuhao, forget it." The
freshmen's quarterfinals had ended. Xiao Xiao, who was Huo Yuhao's teammate in the original work, unfortunately stopped at the round of sixteen, but the remaining four teams really made Su Yu feel the pressure increase.
Of the four teams, Dai Huabin's pair was generally considered the strongest. If we disregard the spirit fusion skill, Su Yu was absolutely confident he can defeat them single-handedly. However, their Netherworld White Tiger is practically an unbeatable skill in the early game, practically a god-tier skill! It's the strongest known spirit fusion after all.
However, shortly after Su Yu returned, a classmate informed him that their homeroom teacher wanted him to come to his office.
Arriving at Zhou Yi's office, Su Yu stand quietly before her.
Looking at Su Yu, Zhou Yi said, "Your spirit power has reached a bottleneck, hasn't it? You need to acquire your second spirit ring, right? The academy will arrange for a teacher to help you obtain it."
"Tomorrow is the semi-finals. Try to get first place, understand?" Zhou Yi's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.
Su Yu nodded, "Yes I am, Teacher Zhou."
The teacher Zhou Yi arranged for him was probably from the spirit department. Su Yu has never met him before, and the teacher's strength was similar to Zhou Yi's. Clearly, the privilege of having a teacher help a student acquire a spirit ring was something only a very few people received; otherwise, Tang Ya wouldn't have taken Bei Bei to acquire her own spirit ring.
Shrek City isn't actually far from the Star Dou Great Forest. With his teacher leading the way, Su Yu found it quite easy. He just don't know how many years his second spirit ring would need, or how many years he'd have to search for it.
Su Yu had a bold idea: since he had a Mirror Spirit, why not try summoning a Mirror Shadow Beast each time? He hoped to copy its spirit skills.
However, he immediately dismissed the idea. The reason was simple: unless the Mirror Shadow Beast underwent a qualitative leap, he'd be in serious trouble if he got the same skill.
Actually, Su Yu wanted a spirit-attribute one. If he needed to control fragments in future battles, he will need either strong mental power or a secret technique from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Teacher, I need a spirit beast around 800 years old, preferably a Cyclops or something like that,"
Su Yu said to his teacher after thinking for a while.
"I understand."
Before long, with his six-ring Soul Emperor strength, he had found quite a few eight-hundred-year-old Soul Beasts, but still has not found an eight-hundred-year-old Cyclops. However, the teacher lead the team found a three-thousand-year-old Cyclops…
Damn it, three thousand years! Three thousand years for my second Soul Ring! You really think highly of me!
Finally, from the many Soul Beasts he found, Su Yu selected a Dark Night Bat of about eight hundred years. Although this Dark Night Bat wasn't entirely of the Spirit attribute, Su Yu knew that with some of its abilities, its Soul Skills might be even more powerful than the Cyclops's.
A Soul Emperor is a Soul Emperor; he crippled someone with a single slap without even using his Martial Soul. Su Yu wondered when he would also want to use his Martial Soul to slap someone and see if it was really that satisfying.
Su Yu quickly finished off the opponent, and then a yellow Soul Ring appeared. Su Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly absorbing the eight-hundred-year-old Dark Night Bat.
The absorption process was somewhat painful because Su Yu knew that his body wasn't that strong; eight hundred years was already the limit of his second Soul Ring.
The yellow spirit ring was continuously absorbed, eventually merging into Su Yu's body. It seemed that after the spirit ring was absorbed, the spirit master's body would also be strengthened. This time, Su Yu felt his hazy spiritual sea, indicating that this time not only his physical body had been strengthened, but also his spirit.
Although he still cannot enter his spiritual sea, Su Yu could guess the future trend.
After the second spirit ring was absorbed, the spirit power that had been accumulating in his body for a long time instantly broke through the barrier, directly soaring to level twenty-three.
In fact, this surge was within Su Yu's expectations. If Su Yu hasn't been reluctant to consume all the spirit power-boosting pills at once, he would have reached more than level twenty-three after acquiring the second spirit ring.
However, Su Yu knew that he absolutely couldn't consume too many pills in a short period of time, otherwise he might ruin himself. If pills were truly effective, there would be no need for cultivation.
"Let me see what my second spirit skill is."
Su Yu closed his eyes, carefully savoring his second spirit skill.
Second spirit skill: Illusory Shadow.
He created an attacking clone. This clone would become ineffective once destroyed, but it was completely indistinguishable from the original, even capable of using all of the original's skills except for soul skills.
"Holy crap, this is a Shadow Clone Technique that can't use skills! A divine skill! It's practically a divine skill comparable to a Shadow Clone Technique! I've hit the jackpot!"
Back in his dorm, Su Yu's smile grow increasingly maniacal, even startling Wang Dong.
