Chapter 167 The Yuanen Family
"No, Su Yu, why are you suddenly asking this?" Wang Dong'er looked at Su Yu with a puzzled expression, and then answered.
Su Yu shook his head and replied, "I mean, I can't remember how long it's been since we went back to class, do you remember clearly...?"
Wang Dong'er: "………………"
Su Yu was not surprised by this, because if he calculated carefully, he seemed to have only spent a little over a year at Shrek Academy, while he had spent nearly four years at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in total.
When it comes to skipping classes, you won't find another case like it anywhere in Shrek Academy.
But Wang Dong'er is different. Wang Dong'er has always been a model student who never skips class, but since the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, Wang Dong'er has missed at least a week of classes in total...
"Su Yu, shouldn't we go back now...?" Wang Dong'er herself hadn't realized that she had already missed a week of classes.
Su Yu calmly replied, "Do you think it makes a difference whether you skip a few more days or a few less? Besides, you've already skipped classes, so why would you care about those extra few days?"
"Well, when are we going back? I think their attitude towards you has improved. My eldest and second uncles said that you seem to have found a way to replace the soul ring, right?" Wang Dong'er wasn't in a hurry, and then changed the subject, asking Su Yu about the topic of soul spirits.
Su Yu then opened his hands and projected the consciousness of the Purple-Eyed Demon Dragon from his spiritual sea into the room. He then explained, "Although this method is not yet perfect, I know that I will continue to improve it in the future, and the final result should be able to replace the effect of a soul ring."
"Really, Su Yu? Is what you're saying true?" Wang Dong'er looked at Su Yu with surprise and disbelief in her beautiful eyes.
Su Yu nodded and said, "When have I ever lied to you? Besides, your eldest and second uncles think my research direction is correct, but I really don't want anyone else to know about this."
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to let everyone know? That way, the conflict between humans and soul beasts can be resolved. Isn't that a good thing?" Wang Dong'er clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
Su Yu didn't refute her, but instead held Wang Dong'er's hand and said, "Have you considered the consequences of making this public? Can it really resolve the conflict between humans and soul beasts?"
"Isn't that right? If we had something to replace spirit rings, we could reduce the demand for spirit rings among spirit masters. Moreover, if we could achieve this, it would be extremely beneficial, both for the ecological balance of the continent and for the continued existence of the spirit master profession. Am I wrong?" Wang Dong'er didn't understand why Su Yu hadn't thought of this aspect. Knowing Su Yu as she did, she knew he couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Could it be that he had other ideas?
"Dong'er, your idea is not wrong, but have you ever thought about what will happen to me after it is made public?" At this point, Su Yu paused and looked out the window.
"The way of cultivation lies in perseverance, and my research is the same. It's not that I don't want to publish it, but my research is still in the exploratory stage. In this immature stage, forcibly conducting experiments would bring many unpredictable dangers. What will happen to me if they themselves can no longer continue? I can't guarantee that I can live out the rest of my life safely, because the most likely outcome is that I will be captured by them and made to complete this era-shaking research for them."
"However, the arrival of a new era often brings about significant changes, just like when the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent, merging the two continents into one. In that time, Soul Masters emerged, and a completely new era rapidly unfolded. My research is similar. Once it's fully formed, countless people will inevitably vie for it, and the challenges will be no less than a war sweeping the continent. Whoever controls this power that can replace Soul Rings will essentially control the future of all Soul Masters on the continent. Dong'er, I ask you, do you think the three great empires will agree to someone else controlling it? Will the Sun Moon Empire agree? Will Shrek Academy agree?"
This is indeed a cruel problem. No one can guarantee how things will develop in the future. Therefore, Su Yu will definitely not make this matter public until he has the ability to control it.
A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!
"Su Yu, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this, I..." Wang Dong'er felt somewhat ashamed; she hadn't expected Su Yu to have thought about it so much.
Su Yu said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's normal to plan ahead and think things through. Besides, it's not that I'm unwilling to announce it, it's just that the time isn't right yet. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, when are we going back?"
"I'll go tell my eldest and second uncles today. We'll head back tomorrow. If we don't go back soon, I'll almost forget that we haven't had our holiday yet," Wang Dong'er said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, whatever you say."
…………
The third floor of Haotian Fortress.
Niu Tian turned to Titan and slowly said, "Second brother, what do you think of my judgment? I think that kid is qualified, right?"
Titan said, "He's alright. This Su Yu is indeed quite extraordinary. Moreover, I can also sense that he treats Xiao Dong'er exceptionally well. I didn't quite believe him at first, but now I admire him quite a bit. For a teenager to be able to think so far ahead is truly astonishing in this era."
Niu Tian chuckled and said, "We can't blame him for that. After all, we were prejudiced at the time. Besides, he has already proven that he is qualified. I'm not worried at all about entrusting Xiao Dong'er to him. As for that other person, it depends on Su Yu's own fate."
Titan said, "That kid is incredibly bold. What if he really finds out Xiao Dong'er's identity..."
Niu Tian waved his hand and said, "Forget it. It's already like this, what's the use of saying all this? Besides, I trust Xiao Dong'er's judgment and my own. Let him handle the future himself. After all, it's not something we can control. Have you forgotten?" As he spoke, he tapped his forehead with his finger.
Titan suddenly realized, "Oh right! I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. Oh well, let him deal with the future himself. They won't do anything outrageous anyway, hehe."
Niu Tian smiled meaningfully and said, "We won't get involved. To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what kind of path this little guy will take in the future. If he can really catch up with Xiao Dong'er, then there won't be any problem. As for the rest, let the young people handle their own affairs."
…………
The next day.
Wang Dong'er took Su Yu's hand and walked out of the gate of Haotian Fortress. Behind them, all the people of Haotian Fortress came out to see them off.
"Uncle, Uncle, we're going back to school now. I'll come back to see you when I have a break." Wang Dong'er waved goodbye to them.
Looking at Titan and Niu Tian behind him, Su Yu slowly said, "Oh, by the way, Uncle Titan, there's something I'd like to verify with you. I wonder if you could help me with this?"
Upon hearing this, Titan instinctively retorted, "What are you trying to say now, kid?"
"Uncle Titan's martial soul should be Titan Giant Ape, right?" Before leaving, Su Yu decided to tell Yuanen about the Titan Giant Ape family.
"What's wrong? Do you have some problem with my martial soul?" Titan asked, puzzled.
Su Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "If I remember correctly, in a certain place on the Douluo Continent, there once existed a family called Yuanen. Their martial soul was also Titan Giant Ape. It is said that their ancestor was a Titan Giant Ape, and the Titan Giant Ape's wife was named something like Xiong...
"Are you telling the truth? Are you sure you're not lying to me again? You..." Titan's puzzled expression instantly turned into excitement. He gripped Su Yu's shoulder tightly with his large hand, and his emotions underwent a huge change in an instant.
Realizing something was wrong, Niu Tian immediately slapped Titan's hand away. "Enough! What's going on? Let Su Yu finish speaking before we know!"
"My family once encountered a group of people who claimed to be from the Yuanen family. Although I don't know where their family is located, they said it was the place where their ancestor met the Titan Giant Ape. Their martial spirit is also the Titan Giant Ape, so I wanted to ask, senior, are you really not called Yuanen Ming?"
"With your strength, I know that your strength is definitely above that of a Limit Douluo. I really can't think of anyone else whose martial soul belongs to the Yuanen family besides your descendant. According to their description of their ancestor, their ancestor was a Titan Giant Ape named Yuan Enming, and Yuan Enming's wife was named Xiong Xiaoling."
After Su Yu finished speaking, Titan's face was already flushed red, and there were still some tears in his eyes.
"So, I really do have descendants...?"
"I……"
"ah…………"
Titan stood there, lost in thought, completely absorbed in his memories. As he remained silent, images began to appear around him.
Visualize your thoughts!
"Uncle Niu Tian, that's all I know. Since this is Uncle Titan's private matter, Dong'er and I won't interfere any further. So, we'll have to trouble Uncle Titan with the rest of the arrangements."
With that, Su Yu led Wang Dong'er away from the Haotian Sect and began their journey to Shrek Academy.
A series to be completed in one's lifetime.
I wasn't planning on updating, but after thinking about it carefully, I'll update one chapter anyway, even though I'm very sorry everyone.
This chapter touches on the Yuanen family, and we will continue to follow this storyline.
Please be patient...
