"Wang Dong, you're amazing! You draw Dai Huabin's group right from the start?"
Su Yu tapped his finger on the table after returning to the dormitory.
"I..." Wang Dong suddenly remember that he (she) had been vehemently complaining about Huo Yuhao's incredibly bad luck a few days ago.
Looking at Wang Dong's embarrassed and indignant appearance, Su Yu find it extremely cute. His (Her) already handsome face was now flushed red, as if it were about to bleed. Standing in front of Su Yu, Wang Dong dodn't know what to do and can only stand there dumbly, clutching the hem of his clothes.
Wang Dong has expected Su Yu to scold him (her), and be prepared for it. He clearly remembered Su Yu's twitching face back then. If Su Yu hadn't turned the tide and directly defeated Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin, at least two of them would have been lying on the ground in tomorrow's competition.
"It's okay, we won anyway, didn't we?"
Su Yu gently hugged Wang Dong, a gesture that left Wang Dong stunned. Su Yu has not hit or scolded her...
It had to be said that Wang Dong's body was really comfortable to hug, soft and elastic, with a faint fragrance that was very soothing.
"Su Yu, you..."
Wang Dong was also a little at a loss. Looking at Su Yu's smiling face, Wang Dong's heart finally settled down.
"We won, so what? We're roommates, why be so fussy?"
Su Yu comforted Wang Dong while hugging him. To be honest, Su Yu doesn't think he is a good person. Since Wang Dong doesn't resist him, everything would eventually settle down in his heart...
Burying his head on Su Yu's shoulder, Wang Dong slowly closed his eyes. "This feeling is really reassuring..."
The hug didn't last long. Wang Dong blushed and pulled away. Su Yu was still immersed in the feeling. Looking at the shy Wang Dong in front of him, Su Yu didn't say anything, still pretending not to know anything.
"Tomorrow's the last match, don't let your guard down. It'll be embarrassing if you lose, you know?"
Su Yu said with a smile, watching Wang Dong's retreating figure.
The peaceful atmosphere truly bring back memories of his youthful joy for Su Yu.
That day, Huo Yuhao don't go to his stall. Instead, he took his stall and went for a picnic in the countryside with Su Yu, Wang Dong, Bei Bei, and Xiao Ya.
The three weren't worried about tomorrow's match at all. As long as Su Yu was still there, they weren't afraid even if they faced Dai Huabin again in the next match. After all, Su Yu's terrifying strength had completely crushed even Dai Huabin. They just didn't know if Su Yu now had the strength to even challenge Bei Bei.
"Hey, who's this? What a handsome little guy!" Tang Ya couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Wang Dong.
Since Tang Ya had spoken, Wang Dong couldn't refuse. He said perfunctorily, "Hello, my name is Wang Dong. I'm Su Yu's roommate and Huo Yuhao's classmate."
"Su Yu is your roommate? Why don't you let him join the Tang Clan?" Tang Ya chuckled, looking at this powerful junior. Clearly, Tang Ya was willing to do anything to expand the Tang Clan.
Wang Dong's eyes lit up, and he answered without hesitation, "The Tang Clan? Of course I want to join!"
"Not bad, not bad, junior brother, you have excellent judgment. Su Yu and Huo Yuhao are both disciples of our Tang Sect. Their strength hasn't disappointed you, has it? So you've made a very wise choice. Congratulations, you're now a member of the Tang Sect."
Looking at Wang Dong, who answered without hesitation, Tang Ya was overjoyed; the surprise had come too suddenly.
Thus, on this idle afternoon, the Tang Sect, originally consisting of four, had grown to five, with Wang Dong successfully becoming the youngest junior brother.
At this moment, Bei Bei spoke up, "With your strength, winning the final match is a foregone conclusion. However, Su Yu is a control-type, which is actually stronger than the attack-type. But considering Su Yu's aptitude, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the three of you should still be in the same class next year."
Bei Bei paused, looking at Su Yu, and said, "During the competition, you must have witnessed Su Yu's footwork and hidden weapon skills, right?"
Wang Dong nodded. He clearly remembered that Su Yu had directly used hidden weapons to exchange injuries, forcing both him and Nanmen Yun'er to leave the arena. Previously, a single hidden weapon had knocked an agility-type student out of the assessment area.
"Senior Brother actually wants to talk about soul tools, right? The decline of the Tang Sect is actually related to soul tools, isn't it?"
Su Yu guessed that Bei Bei was going to mention soul tools. The Tang Sect used to be rigid and inflexible, whether genuinely lacking in adaptability or if the author deliberately made the Tang Sect collectively less intelligent, ultimately leading to their downfall.
Bei Bei nodded and said, "Because of the emergence of soul tools, hidden weapons gradually faded from the historical stage, which is also an important reason for the decline of our Tang Sect. For the rise of the Tang Sect, we must revive hidden weapons, but they cannot be as simple as before. Only by combining soul tools and hidden weapons can we possibly achieve brilliance. However, as far as I know, it seems that only Su Yu has also studied the soul tool system, while you two were directly arranged by Su Yu to study the martial soul system..."
At this point, Bei Bei's eyes twitched. This seemed to have completely gone off-topic...
Did it go off-topic? Actually, no, because all of this was Su Yu's arrangement.
At this point, Su Yu stood up and said, "Actually, I think what Senior Brother said is right. Although I myself am aiming for the soul tool system, as far as the soul tool system is concerned, I don't think Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao have the time."
"Why do you say that?" Tang Ya looked at Su Yu in confusion, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Let me explain. Because of my martial soul, I don't actually have much time to choose a soul tool. I think most people who research soul tools are those with less talent, since I'm a soul master. Now, Su Yu has even secured a spot for us as a core disciple of the martial soul system. If we're distracted by choosing a soul tool, we might be eliminated from the core disciples."
Wang Dong's words hit Tang Ya like a hammer blow, making it hard for her to breathe.
"What about Huo Yuhao?" Bei Bei asked, clinging to a last glimmer of hope.
"Well, Teacher Xiao Ya, Senior Brother Bei Bei, Su Yu also secured a spot for me as a core disciple of the martial soul system. I don't have time to choose a soul tool now either. After all, being eliminated from the core disciples would be a huge loss. I can't gamble with the precious opportunity Su Yu secured for us."
Huo Yuhao's words almost broke Tang Ya's resolve. Could it be that supporting the Tang Sect really only depended on Su Yu?
As it turns out, it really was...
