Su Yu had absolute confidence in his own talent.
As he planned his next cultivation steps, the atmosphere in the Sea God Pavilion became tense.
Su Yu, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and another elite from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, Bai Feng.
Five geniuses from the Sun and Moon Empire's Mingde Hall entered the Sea God Pavilion just like that.
Xuanzi and the elders couldn't deny that they had thoughts of keeping these five people permanently.
With Su Yu's strength, even at Level 98, it could be managed on Shrek's turf, especially since the Golden Ancient Tree still contained the last means left by Elder Mu.
As for Huo Yuhao, his strength was only at the ordinary Titled Douluo level, and there were many Super Douluos in the Sea God Pavilion, fully capable of handling them.
Even as Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they couldn't withstand the power of a Super Douluo who held the geographical advantage.
As for Bai Feng, a child not even ten years old, there was even less to worry about.
With such enticing conditions in front of them, the elders were truly tempted.
Although it might harm Shrek's image, from another angle, capturing the five geniuses of the Sun and Moon Empire in the Sea God Pavilion wouldn't just strike a blow against the Sun and Moon Empire, but also soften the previously poor perception of Shrek.
For the smooth retrieval of the inner courtyard generations of talents, Shrek had already been criticized by the Douluo Three Kingdoms for a long time.
If today they could capture these five, then the notion of Shrek considering easing tensions with the Sun and Moon Empire would be debunked.
But, did Shrek really not have these ideas?
Given the current situation, the elders knew well that the Xingluo Empire's power couldn't block the Sun and Moon Empire, and continuing to resist would be futile resistance.
The reason Shrek was unreservedly supporting the Xingluo Empire, multiple times sending strongmen to the battlefield to cooperate with the Xingluo Army against the Sun and Moon Army, was because they were in the same boat and couldn't escape unscathed.
But if there were a way out, would Shrek really persist like this?
The answer was definitely no.
After all, Shrek Academy is just an academy, as long as it can be passed on, the elders wouldn't be failing in their duties.
Therefore, the opportunity to completely oppose Mingde Hall had the Shrek elders deeply conflicted.
...
The elders were conflicted, unaware that their dilemma was meaningless in itself.
Capturing the five of Su Yu?
Impossible.
In the Douluo Continent, a gap in intelligence could lead to huge errors in judgment.
Su Yu had already broken through to Level 89, and although he had a preliminary collision with Er Ming of the Haotian Sect, revealing his approximate strength, Er Ming knew, but the Shrek elders did not.
Wang Dong and Tang Town, the two juniors present, were still in seclusion within the Haotian Sect, with no one to convey the message to the Shrek elders.
Additionally, Huo Yuhao had also broken through to Soul Saint. The True Form of the Martial Soul for a Soul Master provided immense boost, doubling the effect of all soul skills in this state. Besides, after breaking through to Level 70, Huo Yuhao had another crucial factor, the Soul Core.
With a Soul Core and the ability to use the True Form of the Martial Soul after breaking through to Soul Saint, Huo Yuhao's current strength reached the Super Douluo level!
Of course, it might be slightly weaker.
After all, his Battle Armor was only at the Intermediate Battle Armor level, and although its amplification increased with his strength, the increase wasn't proportional.
Consider Huo Yuhao's strength as fifty, with amplification it becomes a hundred, now his strength is eighty, and after amplification it's roughly a hundred and ten?
However, the Intermediate Battle Armor amplifies the basic strength, preventing his improvements from entirely exceeding the range of Intermediate Battle Armor's amplification.
An overqualified Soul Saint is still a Soul Saint and belongs to the most suitable level for Intermediate Battle Armor.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao's strength still reached the Super Douluo standard.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao didn't make no progress this year, he never stopped studying Soul-guiding Devices.
In the original work, Huo Yuhao seemed to slack off in studying Soul-guiding Devices later on, leaving the production of various needed devices to Xuan Ziweng. But this wasn't the case for Huo Yuhao now, influenced by Su Yu, the role of Soul-guiding Devices was greatly magnified.
Especially the role of the Soul Guide making the Soul-guiding Devices, which was infinitely magnified.
The Core Array was of great significance.
One could say that Su Yu derived the Rune System from Soul-guiding Arrays, and could completely claim it was a fundamental explanation of all the rules of Douluo Continent, representing the most essential power system native to the Douluo Continent.
In the future, regardless of how cultivation systems were improved or reformed, this Rune System was destined not to be eliminated, only to be constantly refined to develop a system based on runes!
Furthermore, the Soul-guiding Array, as a basic introduction to runes, became a compulsory course under necessary conditions.
Moreover, creating Battle Armor required both the maker and user to meet high demands.
If not self-made, its power would be reduced by at least thirty percent.
Because only a Soul Master truly knows their own strengths, understands their favored domain, and is most familiar with and knowledgeable about their abilities, knowing what structures need to be added to the Battle Armor to best exert their strength.
