Chapter 165 The Test (Part 2)
Therefore, even Elder Yi wouldn't dare take the risk without absolute certainty.
Although the greater the risk, the greater the reward, given the current situation, if they make a single mistake, both Elder Yi and Su Yu will be finished.
"This is the aura of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow..."
A clear, cold female voice rang in Su Yu's mind. With the awakening of the Snow Empress, Su Yu also realized something. If he did not control the power he was absorbing, the Snow Empress's seal might be triggered, and he might even repeat the mistake that Huo made back then.
"Snow Empress, control your power. Otherwise, if your power is activated, all three of us could die here," Su Yu quickly reminded her.
After Su Yu's reminder, Xue Di quickly withdrew her power. Although the spiritual power of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Marrow was indeed very attractive, it was still insignificant compared to her own life. After all, having experienced a near-death experience, Xue Di did not want to make any more pointless sacrifices.
As the power of the Snow Emperor subsided once again, everything returned to its former tranquility. However, at this moment, Su Yu and Elder Yi both sensed a fleeting divine thought.
"It seems your girlfriend's family isn't very welcoming to us?" Old Yi said slowly.
Su Yu continued to stabilize Xue Di's power, slowly saying, "Whether he welcomes me or not is his business, what does it have to do with me? If I weren't currently too weak, I wouldn't need to hide like this. Sigh, if I weren't worried about that old guy up there scattering my ashes one day, would I be here offering my warm welcome only to be met with such a cold shoulder?"
However, now that I have a target, I am much more confident in guarding against that old guy...
Otherwise, Su Yu wouldn't have to live such a shady life.
He is not a fool!
Why did I decide to stay in the Sun Moon Empire for so long back then? Why did I become a disciple of the Mingde Hall? All of this was based on long-term plans. However, many things cannot be revealed now as trump cards.
Although, this process encountered many setbacks.
However, this little setback is not a big deal. There's still plenty of time, and it's not like we can't continue.
After enduring three agonizing days, Su Yu used some shady methods to pack up and take away the entire Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Marrow Bed. He even secretly hid a large piece of it in his Starlight Sapphire Ring while the two men's spiritual detection was being withdrawn.
In just three days, Niu Tian and Titan outside had their eyes wide open, watching helplessly as their precious child was completely devoured by this kid. It would be a lie to say they weren't heartbroken, but since this kid was brought back by Xiao Dong'er, they couldn't very well...
When Su Yu emerged from seclusion, Wang Dong'er was still nowhere to be found, but it was likely that the two of them had sent her away.
"Junior Su Yu greets the two uncles."
Su Yu didn't put on any airs, after all, these two were his elders no matter what.
"No need to look, Xiao Dong'er isn't here. Sit down," said Niu Tian, the Grand Master standing in front of Su Yu, pointing to the chair next to him.
Su Yu nodded and said, "Okay."
"Young man, how about we have a chat?" With Niu Tian present, Titan had not spoken, even though he didn't like Su Yu at all.
"May I ask your name, sir?" Although Su Yu knew his name was Niu Tian, he couldn't just say it outright.
"My name is Niu Tian. I don't need to introduce him. I've invited you here today for nothing more than a casual chat about everyday life. There's no need to be so formal," Niu Tian said with a smile.
"Didn't Dong'er tell you about my situation?" Su Yu looked at the two of them with some confusion, clearly unsure of their attitude.
Niu Tian and Titan both shook their heads and said, "Xiao Dong'er has only told us about your family. As for what happens at school, she has never told me. The only thing she talks about the most is you. I'm really curious to know, what is it about you that makes Xiao Dong'er so obsessed?"
"Actually, it's nothing. Some things can't be explained in just a few words. But I think you should ask Dong'er about some things. After all, if I were to explain, I certainly wouldn't be as accurate as Dong'er." Su Yu knew they wanted to learn about Wang Dong'er's experiences at school through him, but Su Yu refused, not for any other reason than that he didn't want to get into trouble.
Compared to Wang Dong'er's story at school, they were more curious about the part where Su Yu was captured by Di Tian.
"I once heard Xiao Dong'er say that you were taken away by Di Tian from the Star Dou Great Forest a few years ago. I'm very curious about what exactly happened in the Star Dou Great Forest back then?" After chatting for a long time, Niu Tian finally got to the point.
Looking at the slightly suspicious eyes of Niu Tian and Titan, it wasn't hard to tell that the two of them suspected that their soul beasts had taken human form.
"Actually, I don't know the specifics, but it should be related to the power that defeated Uncle Titan's aura. However, after Elder Mu went to negotiate with Di Tian, I was sent out of the Star Dou Great Forest by Di Tian. The whole process took more than two months. However, I can't remember anything about what happened. It's as if someone forcibly erased a part of my memory."
Su Yu was not lying. The Silver Dragon King had indeed erased his memories, but although they seemed to have been erased, they were actually protected by the illusory image of the Ancestral Dragon in his mind. Back then, the Devouring Spirit Blade was easily suppressed by the illusory image of the Ancestral Dragon.
When Su Yu mentioned the illusory image of the Ancestral Dragon, he couldn't help but think of something: after he reached the seventh ring, what exactly would his true martial soul form be? Would it really still be a mirror?
After hearing Su Yu's words, Niu Tian did not press further. "I see. Then we won't ask any more questions."
"Although there is something that is indeed presumptuous, we must know for Xiao Dong'er's safety." At this point, Niu Tian's expression became serious. He clearly wanted to know because Su Yu's unusual abilities were indeed likely to arouse suspicion.
"However, there is something I must apologize to you two uncles for. Because I have recently made a breakthrough in my cultivation, I will not be able to return your Cold Jade Marrow Bed to you." Su Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Upon hearing the mention of the Cold Jade Marrow Bed, both Niu Tian and Titan were taken aback. Niu Tian then said, "Since we were the ones who put you there to cultivate, it's your ability that you were able to absorb it. This isn't your fault. If there's nothing else, you should go back now. Xiao Dong'er has been waiting for you for a long time."
After giving the order to leave, Su Yu returned to the third floor of the Haotian Sect, where Wang Dong'er had been waiting for him for a long time.
Before Su Yu could even enter, Wang Dong'er nervously grabbed his arm and asked, "Did my two fathers give you any trouble?"
Su Yu shook his head and said, "No, but they did ask me some questions about when I was captured by Di Tian. As for other trivial matters in my life, I didn't continue to talk about them."
"That's all?" Wang Dong'er looked at Su Yu in confusion.
"Otherwise what?" Su Yu looked at Wang Dong'er in confusion. Did she have to make a huge scene with him and torture him half to death for it to be considered normal?
"Forehead…………"
However, when Titan was mentioned, Su Yu thought of something. Back when Titan returned to the Clear Sky Sect, he had a romance with a human woman named Xiong Xiaoling from Douluo Continent. But due to an accident, the two were separated forever.
Perhaps the breakthrough point for these two lies here. Moreover, they are soul beasts themselves, so they are not unfamiliar with Di Tian. It's just a matter of soul beasts. These are all potential breakthrough points, but now is not the right time.
If you calculate the time carefully, the current time is about the same as the birth of the Yuanen family. At most, it has been passed down for a few generations. After all, Tang San's own daughter spent some time in the God Realm.
In other words, if Xiong Xiaoling were still alive, they might actually be able to meet her. If she has already reached the end of her lifespan, she could still be resurrected, since the time difference is not too long and there is still a chance to save her.
However, if all these things were put together, they would be more troublesome than the last, not to mention that he had no idea where the Yuanen family was located...
Forget it, forget it, let you all worry about these messy things yourselves. Anyway, it's Yuan Enming's own romantic escapades.
After briefly recounting their conversation to Wang Dong'er, Su Yu, under Wang Dong'er's persistent questioning, began to tell the story of why he possessed the Ultimate Ice. Although some details were omitted, it was still enough to surprise Wang Dong'er.
As night fell, Su Yu began to stroll alone atop Haotian Fortress. Wang Dong'er wanted to follow him, but Titan stopped her.
When Su Yu arrived at a flat, grassy area, he slowly said, "Uncle Titan, if you have anything to ask, you can just ask directly. You don't need to follow me all this way and still refuse to come out, do you?"
"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, kid. Interested in having a chat with your Uncle Titan? It's rare that Dong'er is so sure about you, even bringing you back to Haotian Fortress." Titan's figure then appeared, but the Titan of today no longer had the powerful sense of oppression he had before.
"Actually, I'm very curious about how you broke through my pressure back then. Do you know that even a Title Douluo might not be able to withstand my pressure for long, but you, a little guy who hasn't even obtained five rings, were able to completely withstand my pressure, and even shatter it the moment you made contact. You have quite a few secrets."
Looking at the composed Su Yu, Titan put away his previous contempt. Whether it was his talent or the secrets he possessed, this young man gave people nothing but mystery. The only thing that dissatisfied him was that Su Yu's soul power level was too low.
Su Yu replied, "Everyone has their own secrets. Like Dong'er, who has a powerful seal in her mind—a power that transcends even human capabilities. Compared to that, my meager dragon power pales in comparison. Uncle Titan, am I right?"
"What else do you know, kid?" Titan's expression turned serious as he mentioned the seal in Wang Dong'er's mind.
Su Yu calmly replied, "Actually, I didn't know any of this before, but I only learned about it after Dong'er and I developed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. As for my secret, I think it might be related to the fact that I was taken away by Senior Beast God. But speaking of soul beasts, I would like to ask Uncle Titan a question."
"Oh, what's the problem? Tell me about it." Titan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Su Yu's answer. It wasn't surprising that the two of them could discover these things after they had acquired the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but it was also possible that Wang Dong'er had told Su Yu herself.
"I wonder what Uncle Titan thinks about the issue of spirit beasts? Humans need to hunt spirit beasts to advance, and spirit beasts, after re-establishing themselves as humans, also need to hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings starting from the seventh ring. If one day spirit beasts become extinct, what will happen to humans, and what will happen to those spirit beasts that have re-established themselves as humans?"
This is a very sharp question. Titan, as a soul beast, sacrificed himself to Tang San along with Da Ming. Later, after Tang San became a God King, they were resurrected and sent back to Douluo Continent, where they became the sect leaders of the Clear Sky Sect.
However, he is still a soul beast in essence. Although he has been reborn as a human in a sense, his life experiences, except for his time at the Clear Sky Sect, are basically all those of a soul beast.
"I can't answer that either. Perhaps your Uncle Niu Tian can." After a long silence, Titan still couldn't answer.
"No, second brother, you're wrong. I can't answer that question either." Just after Titan finished speaking, a familiar voice came, and Niu Tian appeared there at some point.
Su Yu sighed, "Actually, when I was in the Star Dou Great Forest, I asked Senior Di Tian the same question, but I didn't get an answer either. This is the law of the world. Even if humans and soul beasts don't want to be enemies, under this law, humans are bound to raise their swords against soul beasts. We all understand that a hundred-year soul ring is destined to be stronger than a ten-year soul ring. Under this rule, if humans want to obtain greater power, they must attack stronger soul beasts and plunder their power from their lives, while soul beasts become nourishment for humans."
"But have you ever considered this question: what if humanity could discover another power to replace spirit rings? Would the current situation where spirit beasts are on the verge of extinction, constantly being devoured and hunted by humans, change?"
Su Yu's last words were like a heavy hammer blow, striking their hearts hard!
The person Xiao Dong'er brought back was indeed extraordinary...
That's all for now. Also, if any of you lovely people know how to handle computer problems in the future, please contact me in the group. I'm not very tech-savvy; I messed up my own computer by reinstalling the system. Looks like I'll have to ask someone who knows how to help me next time.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to reinstall the system more than ten times...
