Meng Hongchen defeated her first opponent with extreme ease, then even flashed Su Yunlin a peace sign.
Tang Wutong directly pinched Su Yunlin's face. "I knew it. My Yunlin flirts with people wherever he goes. Xiao Xiao is one thing, but since when did Meng Hongchen start liking you too? She even made a peace sign at you?"
Su Yunlin "grimaced in pain." "How would I know? Does that girl have masochistic tendencies? You saw it too, didn't you? I never held back when I hit her."
Tang Wutong pouted and snorted coldly. This vinegar jar had been overturned again.
Meng Hongchen did indeed like Su Yunlin. First of all, Su Yunlin fit her aesthetic very well. Like Xiao Xiao, she was someone who cared about looks.
Originally, she liked Tang Wutong's male disguise as Wang Dong even more. But after learning that Tang Wutong was a girl, she fell out of love on the spot. Afterward, through sparring, or rather through getting beaten up, she came to like Su Yunlin.
Meng Hongchen's second opponent was named Feng Shen. Meng Hongchen mocked him, saying how much better it would sound if he were called Feng Shen, as in "Wind God."
This person's Martial Soul was the Electric Light Falcon. His speed was extremely fast, but his weakness was that he was very fragile. Su Yunlin could probably kill him with a casual punch.
Against this kind of opponent that countered her, theoretically speaking, Meng Hongchen should have used soul tools to restrain him and win. Instead, she relied on her own combat instincts to dodge the Electric Light Falcon Spirit King's attacks again and again.
In the end, she poisoned him at the crucial moment and obtained victory.
Meng Hongchen was beaming with a smile. Her combat instincts had all been beaten out of her by Su Yunlin. Theory alone could never make someone an expert. Only by fighting constantly could one become stronger.
The Electric Light Falcon Spirit King's speed was indeed very fast, but in Meng Hongchen's eyes, it could not compare to Su Yunlin. Even though she still could not keep up with Su Yunlin's speed now, at the very least, her perception and eyesight had already been strengthened.
Not to mention that Meng Hongchen's cultivation was a whole level higher than the Electric Light Falcon Spirit King's.
In the next few battles, Meng Hongchen relied on her own advantages to win. Along the way, she used milk bottles to recover her Spirit Power. By the fifth match, the Dragon Slayer Sect's captain entered the stage. At this point, Meng Hongchen had already consumed more than half of her Spirit Power.
But Meng Hongchen was not discouraged. She remembered Su Yunlin's words. In battle, one's condition would not always be at its best. Spirit Power had to be used with careful consideration. With however much Spirit Power you had, you did however much work.
Sometimes, carefully budgeting Spirit Power was the true key to victory!
Meng Hongchen had taken this point to heart. When defeating the first four opponents of the Dragon Slayer Sect, she had tried to win using as little Spirit Power as possible. Although she still could not do it perfectly, in the final match against the Dragon Slayer Sect's captain, she still succeeded.
Meng Hongchen relied on less than half of her Spirit Power to obtain victory. One person defeating an entire team undoubtedly caused Meng Hongchen's reputation in the Sun Moon Empire to rise greatly.
Meng Hongchen returned to her team. Xiao Hongchen rubbed his younger sister's head. "Well done!"
The other members of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy were somewhat shocked. A few of them had gone to Shrek Academy to study, but some had not. Meng Hongchen had relied on her abilities as a Spirit Master to sweep through the elites of an entire sect. It was too impressive.
Today was the first day of the tournament, and Tang Sect did not have a match. However, they had all seen the astonishing strength of the various sects.
Take this Dragon Slayer Sect, for example. If their strength had been placed in the previous tournament, they would have been a guaranteed top-eight team, with hopes of reaching the top four.
...
Radiant Joy Hotel.
"Holy crap, Huo Yuhao, what did you do?"
Su Yunlin looked shocked. At this moment, Huo Yuhao's legs were frozen. More accurately, his entire lower body had been frozen solid, leaving him sitting on the bed unable to move.
If not for the fact that he still had Spiritual Detection, perhaps no one would have discovered him.
Huo Yuhao was extremely distressed. Earlier, he had obtained an ice-attribute heavenly treasure. In the end, he had accidentally activated the cold energy stored within his Ice Jade Empress Scorpion torso bone, freezing his own legs.
Huo Yuhao could not even feel the existence of his own legs. If Electrolux had not discovered something was wrong and stopped the damage in time, Huo Yuhao might have been frozen into an ice sculpture.
Huo Yuhao looked utterly constipated. "I don't know why it turned out like this either."
Bang~
Su Yunlin directly punched Huo Yuhao. "Are you raising the difficulty for me? You crippled yourself right away, and now I have to go through the trouble of saving you? Just hang out here by yourself."
"Don't, Yunlin! Brother! Big Brother! Save me!" Huo Yuhao clutched at his life-saving straw.
Su Yunlin snorted coldly. "Save you? Sure. But we need to settle accounts. This thing of yours is very hard to deal with. If I go through all that effort to solve it for you, I definitely need payment.
"How about this? When you reach level 9 soul engineer, make 10 level 9 stationary soul cannon shells for the academy and leave behind 3 level 9 soul tools. If you reach level 10, you must leave behind one level 10 soul tool for the academy."
"Ah? Why don't you just kill me instead? Where am I supposed to get all that?" Huo Yuhao wanted to die. Was he treating him like a money tree?
"I'm not asking you to take them out now. Take them out after you become a Titled Douluo. Don't try to go back on your word, or I'll break your third leg!" Su Yunlin raised his fist.
Huo Yuhao swallowed. Others might only be scaring him, but Su Yunlin would definitely really hit him. Huo Yuhao did not want his little peanut to be broken, or else his happiness would be gone.
At the very least, he still had 2 great beauties, Di Ruiqiu and Ma Xiaotao, around him. Huo Yuhao did not want to let them go. He had already eaten enough dog food.
Huo Yuhao nodded and agreed to Su Yunlin's indenture contract.
Su Yunlin nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. You know what's good for you! But you still need to sign and stamp it. I'll prepare it."
Before long, Su Yunlin had finished writing the tyrannical terms. Huo Yuhao looked at them and felt like he was signing a contract to sell himself.
Everything Su Yunlin had just said was included, and he had even added a few more clauses, such as further improving the Spirit Soul method.
But the Spirit Soul method had been created by Electrolux. Huo Yuhao only knew how to use it, not create it. He really wanted to refuse, but due to Su Yunlin's strength, Huo Yuhao chose to follow his heart and signed the indenture contract.
Su Yunlin looked at Huo Yuhao, who had signed and stamped it, and felt extremely satisfied. Bullying Huo Yuhao really was refreshing. That innocent and helpless expression of his was truly satisfying to bully.
No wonder that old man Tang San liked playing with Huo Yuhao so much. It turned out that tormenting a child of destiny really was enjoyable!
Question Tang San, understand Tang San, become Tang San, surpass Tang San!
Su Yunlin accepted this "indenture contract" and handed it to Tang Wutong for safekeeping. Then he placed one hand on Huo Yuhao's head.
In the next instant, a surge of pure Spirit Power and life force swept through Huo Yuhao's body. His frozen legs began to thaw, transforming into dense ice-elemental energy that entered Huo Yuhao's body.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Power began to slowly rise.
Huo Yuhao once again felt sensation in his legs and immediately jumped up.
"Thanks, Yunlin."
Su Yunlin did not bother with him. He rubbed Tang Wutong's waist and left. "Remember your contract. If you dare breach it, hmph hmph."
Huo Yuhao instantly felt a chill below his waist and immediately shrank back.
...
Corridor.
Tang Wutong covered her mouth and giggled. "Yunlin, you're too bad. Huo Yuhao is almost getting played to death by you."
Su Yunlin smiled. "Some people want to be played by me and still don't have the qualifications. Huo Yuhao, that fellow, I have to squeeze out every bit of his value. What a fine child of destiny. If I don't squeeze more benefits out of him, am I supposed to just let him ascend to the Divine Realm?
"I can tell that he is someone whose stance isn't firm enough, so a contract needs to be signed."
Tang Wutong smiled. "Aren't you afraid Huo Yuhao will become stronger than you and break the contract?"
Su Yunlin shook his head and smiled. "As long as I'm always stronger than him, that's enough. In the end, he's still too inexperienced. Although he has the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, his Ultimate Ice is still too crude.
"Although I haven't reached Ultimate Darkness, my control over darkness is extremely strong. I can use darkness to easily suppress his Ultimate Ice.
"In the end, he was force-fed his power. His Spiritual Power is vast but not precise enough. His Ultimate Ice is powerful but not delicate enough. He still has a very long road ahead.
"I'm different. I can already perfectly control my own power. Whether it's Spiritual Power or Spirit Power, my control is something even Teacher is amazed by."
"Impressive, impressive."
Su Yunlin laughed wickedly, the corners of his mouth rising. "Whether I'm impressive or not, don't you know best?"
Tang Wutong froze, then after understanding what he meant, her face immediately turned red. "Stinky hooligan! You only know how to torment me! Be careful, in the future, I'll give birth to a naughty son who makes you angry every day!"
Su Yunlin lightly tapped Tang Wutong's delicate nose. "As long as you're the one who gives birth to them, I'll like them."
