Chapter 176 Going Home
Another boring Poseidon Pavilion meeting.

"I asked you to come here this time because I have an important matter to discuss."

Old Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the people in front of him. The last time they gathered so neatly was five years ago. At that time, they were much more immature than they are now.

Bei Bei, He Cai Tou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nan Nan, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong Er and Su Yu.

Except for Huo Yuhao who was sitting on the lower left side of Master Xuan as Master Xuan's last disciple, and Su Yu and Wang Dong'er who were sitting next to Xian Lin'er, the others stood in a row in front of Master Xuan because they were not qualified yet.

Looking at these energetic young people, Old Xuan missed the days when Old Mu was still around.

As long as these young people grow up, they may not necessarily become the backbone of Shrek, but they will definitely become a powerful force against the Sun-Moon Empire in the future, and may even become the key to determining the outcome of future wars.

But this future won’t be too far away…

Elder Xuan continued, "There are less than three months until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. You should be almost ready, right?"

As he spoke, Old Xuan glanced at Su Yu, and his meaning was very clear.

The captaincy should be given to Su Yu, an all-round talent who can serve as both a substitute and captain, and a main player...

"I called you here to talk about the competition. Not long ago, we just got a piece of news. This news is not good for the academy, but it is an opportunity for you. The new session of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition will be held in the Sun-Moon Empire. There is no doubt that you will be under great pressure to compete in the territory of our biggest competitor. The Sun-Moon Empire has recently negotiated with the three countries that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent, and wants to make some changes to the competition system of the competition. And widely solicit opinions from many academies and sects on the continent."

"Change the competition system?" Beibei's eyes were stern. As a contestant from the first academy on the continent, there was no doubt that the change in the competition system of the All Continent High-level Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition would definitely be aimed at Shrek Academy. No wonder Elder Xuan said that this was not a good thing for the students.

Xuan Laodao: "Yes, change the competition system. The first thing they want to change is the eligibility of the competition. The age limit of participants remains unchanged, still under 20 years old. This has no effect. But they have expanded the scope to include all sects. In other words, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition will be changed to the Continental Youth Soul Master Competition. The number of participating teams will also increase significantly. If the new competition system is finally passed, then the number of participating teams will at least double."

"Su Yu, tell me what you think. You were the captain last time. As the captain, please talk about your views and responses to the changes in the competition system." Old Xuan said to Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded. "Since the competition system has been changed, it is inevitable. After careful analysis, it is not difficult to see the following problems."

"Go on, don't keep me in suspense," Old Xuan urged.

"First, since the other party has proposed changing the competition system, they simply hope to increase the difficulty of our winning by increasing the number of participants. After all, everyone knows the result of the last competition."

"Secondly, since the other party has already proposed it, it is destined that this competition system will be passed."

Huo Yuhao asked: "Su Yu, why are you so sure that you will pass?"

"Because they are the organizers this time." Su Yu replied indifferently, although he already knew that this kind of competition system was destined to pass in the original book.

After hearing what Su Yu said, everyone fell silent.

Elder Xuan waved his hand and continued, "Su Yu, please continue."

Su Yu stood up and continued, "If we allow sects to participate, then the powerful enemies we will face will not be Xingluo National Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Just as Elder Xuan said, after the competition system is changed, we may face the Body Sect, or even the people of the upper three sects, or meet that old rival we are familiar with, the Holy Spirit Sect."

Elder Xuan waved his hand and said, "No matter how the competition system changes, I have confidence in you. In the last competition, you were able to win the championship under such unfavorable circumstances. Five years later, you are completely different from before. So what if those sects participate? Although you will encounter many troubles, I still believe that you will win the championship in the end. But have you ever thought that after the competition system changes, although it is a bad thing for the academy, it is a good thing for you. The seven of you belong to the same sect."

Bei Bei said, "We are almost ready, but there is one thing that may disappoint you."

"Oh? What could disappoint me?" Old Xuan looked at Beibei's embarrassed face with some confusion.

At this time, He Caitou said: "Let me say this, Su Yu will not participate in the competition this time."

Master Xuan: “………………”

"I hope you can give me an explanation for this matter, Su Yu!" Not only Master Xuan, but even Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er who were sitting next to Master Xuan had changed their expressions.

Su Yu slowly stood up and walked towards the gate of Poseidon Pavilion: "I know you all have high hopes for me, but because of the problem of this competition system, I am different from you. My family is destined to deal with various sects. The more complicated the gathering of people, the more unlikely it is that my family will let me participate in this kind of competition. Elder Xuan, Dean Yan, Dean Xian, the family has an order. I cannot use my family as the price of your willfulness."

"Go back if you can convince your family..." Old Xuan was stunned, sighed helplessly, and waved to Su Yu.

Yan Shaozhe was also stunned, and then as if he realized something, he said: "Su Yu, if you encounter any difficulties, I can accompany you as an individual."

"Dean Yan, I appreciate your kindness, but it really has nothing to do with anything else, it's just the order of the family." After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Su Yu felt that he seemed to have gotten rid of this matter a little hastily. But Su Yu didn't care. This competition was destined to be a pit. He could use some other forces to secretly solve the problem, but it was not in line with Su Yu's usual practice to take risks by himself.

Shrek, Shrek, the rest is up to you.

…………

When Su Yu was walking alone in Shrek City, he received a letter from Mr. Chen.

"I have written all the details in this letter. Young master, please go to the family right away. As for the academy, the head of the family will help you arrange it." Old Chen said to Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded. Su Yu never doubted the old man in front of him. "Okay, old man Chen, everything that follows is up to you."

Arriving at the Su family's residence in Shrek City, Su Yu opened the envelope and began to sort out the information of the past few days.

The letter said that Xuan Ziwen had already arrived at Wanjing Sect and was currently engaged in the research of Experimental Subject No. 1. He also fully inherited all the design manuscripts and blueprints given to him by Su Yu.

Su Yu was not surprised by this. After all, he had anticipated these things a long time ago. It was just a matter of time.

"Mr. Chen, what about the others?" Su Yu continued to look through the letter in his hand.

Elder Chen asked, "Others? Young Master, are you referring to those who brought back your token?"

"It's them. What's their current condition? Have they fully adapted to the life in Wanjing Sect? Especially those two who like to challenge people everywhere." Su Yu couldn't help but think of Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan.

I wonder if the few remaining Soul Saints of the Su family in the Wanjing Sect are being tortured every day by those two fanatical warmongers.

"This, how should I put it..." Old Chen hesitated for a while, as if he remembered something.

Su Yu frowned, sensing something was wrong, "Mr. Chen, you wouldn't..."

“In fact, the situation is not as serious as the young master thinks. A few days ago, the two of them decided to fight with me and told me not to hold back. Now they are both recuperating in the sect. I estimate that in a few days…” At this point, Old Chen couldn’t help but smile.

Well, it will probably take a few more days before those two militants can get out of the field.

"Well, Young Master, was I too harsh..." Old Chen asked, looking at Su Yu's slightly strange expression.

Su Yu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Just hold back a little next time. No, just hold your breath. They can take a beating anyway. Remember to throw them into the same room after you're done."

After hearing Su Yu's words, Mr. Chen fell into a daze. Is this really a good idea?

It does seem a bit bad, but this is what the young master ordered, so it shouldn't be a problem...

Little did they know that it was precisely because of this sentence that the future Berserker duo suffered countless beatings on their way to pursuing the great way.

Of course, these are all for later.

"Master, the head of the family sent a secret letter." Just when Su Yu was sorting out the news in recent days, the person in charge of the Su family's business in Shrek City handed him a secret letter.

After a moment, Su Yu burned the secret letter in his hand, and a trace of worry that was difficult to soothe appeared on his brow.

"Mr. Chen, it's time for us to go back. Our family is in trouble this time." Su Yu stood up and left Shrek City, bringing Mr. Chen to Shrek Academy in the name of the family.

He brought Mr. Chen to the Academic Affairs Office. Because this was not the Poseidon Fate, Su Yu still had to go through the formalities.

"Dean Yan, our family has encountered some difficulties. This is the letter my father brought to you."

As he spoke, Su Yu handed the letter in his hand to Yan Shaozhe.

　I have been eating noodles and dumplings for a week during the quarantine period. I am really tired...
