Although I don't know what kind of medicine those guys from Shrek Academy are selling in their gourds, I can be sure that they are definitely not so kind. Especially when facing a Sun and Moon exchange student who disgraced them.
Mr. Ma and Su Luoheng agreed on this point.
Therefore, Su Luoheng and Mr. Ma were very cautious about the soul bone that was delivered to them and did not absorb it rashly. No matter whether there is something fishy about this soul bone or not, it is not too late to check it first before making any plans.
…
…
Time flies.
Five days have passed since the game ended.
On the third day after the competition rewards were distributed, Shrek Academy officials announced the specific contents of the rewards on the academy notice board. It is intended to establish an impressive image of their Shrek Academy novice commitment to the outside world.
Such a huge amount of publicity has certainly had its effect.
Shrek Academy's reputation in the soul master world has improved. On campus, under a series of operations by the hospital, the impact of the failure in the Soul Fighting Challenge is also constantly being weakened.
After all, it is the number one soul master academy that has been passed down for thousands of years. Although there are constant voices of doubt from the outside world, one defeat is not enough to shake Shrek Academy's transcendent status.
Why was everyone shocked at Su Luoheng's success in the duel?
Even after the game, he was already famous in the soul master world?
the reason is simple:
The comparison is Shrek Academy.
More precisely:
In the eyes of the soul master world, Shrek Academy is still strong.
Therefore, although Shrek Academy became a stepping stone for Su Luoheng, the impact of this incident on them was limited to this. In the general perception of the soul master world, Shrek is still a strong man.
No one can defeat Shrek Academy, which has gone through thousands of years.
At least, no one can do it yet.
The defeat in the Soul Fighting Competition had a certain impact on Shrek Academy, but it was not to the point of breaking the bones.
And this is also the main reason why Yan Shaozhe was able to keep Du Weilun.
If it really caused turmoil in Shrek, he would have cut off the relationship long ago.
but……
These things have nothing to do with Su Luoheng now.
For him, the game is over when the reward is two clears.
What's more, there is something more important for him now:
Participate in the soul master's encirclement and suppression mission.
Su Luoheng's main purpose of entering the inner courtyard was to explore the source of his heart palpitations. Now after preliminary analysis, the target has been locked on Poseidon Island.
If you want to investigate the information about Poseidon Island, you need to search through Shrek's inner courtyard library. If you want to enter the library, you can only redeem the time through the mission of encircling and suppressing the evil soul master.
Although in the previous challenge, I had been rewarded with three hours to enter the library, this time was not enough.
As for using the Infinity Sword to create martial arts spirits to collect books?
The idea is wonderful, but the reality is regrettable.
The range of items that can be collected by the Infinite Sword Spirit belongs to the category of weapon spirits and weapons. Books, however, are not within this scope. So it cannot be included, at least not yet.
As for the projected spiritual eyes, it was an accident and cannot be repeated.
If Su Luoheng wanted to get the detailed information of Poseidon Island, he could only use the oldest method, searching book by book in the library. Although a soul master is faster than ordinary people, it still takes time.
The library in Shrek's inner courtyard is very large, and the space inside is as big as the two soul guidance test sites of Sun Moon Academy. It will take at least a week to get the information you need.
Therefore, he still has to complete the evil soul master's encirclement and suppression mission to gain enough time.
Fortunately, after nearly two months, Shrek Academy finally made specific arrangements for Su Luoheng's application for the mission of encircling and suppressing the evil soul master. Set the task time for seven days.
So what Su Luoheng has to do now is to be prepared.
As soon as Shrek Academy suffered such a big loss in his own hands, it immediately set a time for the mission of encircling and suppressing the evil soul master. With such a coincidental reconstruction, I could tell with my toes that the two things must be related.
Based on their nature, they will probably take action in this mission.
Although it won't lead to murder, it will certainly cause trouble.
Therefore, at this time, you still need to remain vigilant, make as many preparations as possible, and increase your strength as much as possible.
For example: that set of soul guidance formations composed of the power of destiny.
Since the end of the game, Su Luoheng has been going to the Snow Emperor's dormitory almost every day, leaving early and returning late. He is studying the ultra-ancient soul guidance inscription array composed of the power of destiny.
As mentioned before, research has yielded results.
When this kind of soul guidance inscription is carved on the soul guidance core, what appears is not the appearance of a normal soul guidance array, but a special rune that is almost in the form of text.
Each rune formed seems to have a special meaning for its existence, and the combination of these runes is like a single text combined into a paragraph.
However, because the seal carving in the soul guidance circle was not completely successful, and Su Luoheng did not understand ultra-ancient writing, the specific meaning of these runes could not be understood.
Fortunately, this aspect will not affect the perfection of the magic circle. Su Luoheng, who has completed the blueprint for making the soul guidance device, has gone smoothly after deciphering the soul guidance inscription that requires the power of fate to be inscribed.
Therefore, during this period of time, Su Luoheng has been immersed in this, speeding up the research on the set of soul guidance inscriptions. Strive to build an ultra-ancient soul guidance device with the power of destiny forming the core of the soul guidance before going on the mission to encircle and suppress the evil soul master.
First, it is an additional means of self-protection.
Secondly, Su Luoheng was also curious about how a soul guidance device with its soul guidance core carved by the power of destiny must be unique from ordinary soul guidance devices.
In addition to studying the soul guidance runes, Su Luoheng actually had another purpose in going to see the Snow Emperor today, which was also an important matter.
Su Luoheng wanted Snow Emperor to help identify a piece of soul bone.
That's right, it's the head soul bone awarded by Shrek Academy. Out of "trust" in Shrek, it has been placed at Mr. Ma's place for testing since the reward was distributed.
The testing lasted for two days and was not completed until yesterday.
Mr. Ma used the Sun Moon Empire's most advanced soul bone detection technology and scanned it up and down, inside and out, no less than a hundred times, but still couldn't find any problems.
The age, type, and attributes are all no problem.
No matter how you check it, it is a normal head soul bone. And its quality was extremely high. Even in the soul bone resource library of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he had never seen such a high-quality skull.
But because of this, Mr. Ma's doubts intensified.
The more there is no problem, the more strange this piece of soul bone is.
Everyone knows the relationship between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Academy.
Apart from the low-level mistake of taking the wrong one, Shrek Academy handed over a piece of soul bone of such quality to an outstanding student from a hostile force. This behavior of siding with the enemy itself revealed strangeness and problems.
Therefore, how to choose this soul bone has become a problem.
After all, there was nothing wrong with this soul bone no matter how you checked it. In addition, it was an extremely excellent soul bone that suited Su Luoheng. No one could bear to abandon it because of a suspicion.
Finally, after much thought.
Mr. Ma decided to leave the disposal of the head soul bone to Su Luoheng himself. Two suggestions are given at the same time.
The first way: to be on the safe side.
Send this piece of soul bone back to the academy, and ask Master Hongchen to wait for the senior academy officials to examine it before making a decision.
However, the testing method used by Mr. Ma is already the most advanced soul bone testing method in the Sun and Moon Empire. Even if he is sent back to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, it will be difficult to make other progress.
The second way: handle it yourself.
The soul bone was left to Su Luoheng to make his own choice to absorb it or give it up.
If you choose to absorb soul bones, you need to notify Mr. Ma in advance so that you can be prepared to deal with unexpected problems. Do your best to ensure Su Luoheng's safety.
After all, his importance to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is irreplaceable.
It's just that he got this soul bone by himself after all, and it should be his own choice to absorb it or give it up.
Faced with the two suggestions put forward by Mr. Ma.
After much thought, Su Luoheng finally chose the latter.
In addition to the excellent quality of the soul bone, Su Luoheng had a feeling that this soul bone was very important to him.
Therefore, he planned to ask Snow Emperor for help in identifying it.
When she first met the Snow Emperor, she was the one who pointed out the uniqueness of the right arm soul bone of the Silver Moon Wolf King. There might be an unexpected surprise this time, so he planned to try his luck with Snow Emperor.
After all, it is a top-quality head time attribute soul bone, so it would be a pity to give it up like this.
Of course, it was impossible for Su Luoheng to absorb this soul bone before he was completely sure. After all, no matter how good the thing was, he had to be able to control it.
Otherwise, it might just be a futile attempt to fetch water from a bamboo basket. Even if you are not careful, you will risk your own life.
Su Luoheng could still see clearly which one was more important. At this point, he has always maintained a clear understanding. You won't get carried away and take risks just because of a piece of high-quality soul bone.
But since we are talking about Snow Emperor...
I have to mention the follow-up to the "self-created" soul skill that day.
After Su Luoheng said that these three names were cool, Snow Emperor rolled his eyes and stared coldly.
In the end, after Su Luoheng argued with the Snow Emperor's "patient teachings", Su Luoheng deeply realized his mistake and said he "voluntarily handed over" all the candied haws.
This confrontation has come to an end.
Su Luoheng: It hurts, it hurts too much...
Back to business.
After packing his equipment, Su Luoheng was ready to go out.
…
…
at the same time.
In front of Su Luoheng's dormitory.
A fiery red figure was in front of Su Luoheng's room. She stopped at the door for a while, pretending to knock on the door; for a while she turned around, walked back a few steps, and stopped at the door again...
The owner of the figure is very familiar.
Tall and tall with long red hair, he is Ma Xiaotao who has just recovered from his injury.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was just like this, wandering back and forth at Su Luoheng's door. His expression looked hesitant and struggling, as if he was making a difficult decision.
But it soon turned calm again, and his expression changed drastically back and forth.
"Crunch——"
At this moment, Su Luoheng pushed open the door.
A familiar fiery red figure came into view. He raised his eyes and concentrated, just in time to see Ma Xiaotao standing in front of the door, about to raise his hand to knock on the door.
"Ma Xiaotao?"
Su Luoheng was surprised.
He looked up and down, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"..."
Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips and said, "Su Luoheng, I have something to ask you. Can I go in and talk to you?"
"Please come in."
With that said, Su Luoheng gave up his position.
Ma Xiaotao's expression was slightly hesitant, and a strange look that shouldn't have appeared flashed from her eyes at the same time. But then, she still walked into the house.
"..."
After a while, the two of them took their seats one after another.
Walking into the living room, Ma Xiaotao sat down on the sofa.
Su Luoheng handed the guest a cup of tea as usual and sat across from him.
Ma Xiaotao folded her hands and placed them on her knees, lowering her head slightly, with a tangled look on her brows. He seemed to be organizing his words, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't find the intention to speak.
"..."
"Why did you come to see me?"
Su Luoheng saw Ma Xiaotao's hesitation and spoke first.
Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at Su Luoheng, and said solemnly.
"Su Luoheng, thank you."
"Um?"
Su Luoheng's hand that was about to pick up the teacup paused in mid-air and looked at Ma Xiaotao in confusion, not knowing why.
"Thank you for your help then."
Ma Xiaotao spoke again, with sincere gratitude in her tone.
Hearing this thank you, Su Luoheng felt even more confused.
No, why are you thanking me?
The only intersection between the two of us was the last Soul Fighting Competition, and this Soul Fighting Exchange Competition, right? Moreover, these two times were basically battles from beginning to end, and there was no friendship at all.
So...what's there to be thankful for?
Wouldn't it be better to thank yourself for seriously injuring him?
Just kidding, how could such a person exist...
Su Luoheng shook his head, thinking with certainty.
After thinking for a long time, he became more and more confused and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Ma Xiaotao, apart from the soul fighting competition, the two of us have never had any contact, right? Now you are here to thank..."
After a short pause, Su Luoheng smiled: "You can't thank me for seriously injuring you, right?"
Unexpectedly, Ma Xiaotao nodded, "There is a reason for this."
"ah?"
It was originally a joke, but it was recognized by the real master. Now it was Su Luoheng's turn to be dumbfounded. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly realized something and looked at Ma Xiaotao up and down, his eyes becoming strange.
Didn't see it...
Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Xiaotao actually has this hobby?
It can only be said that his experience is quite extensive... He is worthy of being a student of Shrek Academy, which has always led the soul master world.
In this regard, I am unwilling to lag behind others and dare to be the first...
Su Luoheng sighed inwardly.
I recalled the battle with Ma Xiaotao during the game in my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder. It was so scary... BT was actually right next to me.
"what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Su Luoheng's strange eyes, Ma Xiaotao and Liu Ye frowned. Although I don't know what is going on in his mind, you can guess it by looking at his expression. It's definitely not a good thing!
"Ahem..."
Su Luoheng looked at Ma Xiaotao, hesitated for a while and finally spoke.
"Ma Xiaotao, are you not sick?"
