Chapter 220 Hope and Expectation

Because of the influence of gravity control, Rachel's speed suddenly decreased. Taking advantage of this moment of opportunity, Jiang Nannan's first soul ring lit up, and she avoided Rachel's dagger with an extremely flexible somersault in the air.

"Dang!" With a loud collision sound, Jiang Nannan's seemingly fragile body actually pushed Rachel back instantly. A strong shock force almost knocked Rachel down from the air.

The first soul ring behind Jiang Nannan lit up. It was obvious that she had decided to end the duel with Rachel quickly, and she was willing to expose her soul skills and launch an attack.

Jiang Nannan's talent is at the bottom among the Shrek Seven Devils, but her own strength cannot be ignored. Even if she is the weakest one among the Shrek Seven Devils in the future, she can still beat a group of Titled Douluo.

Following Jiang Nannan's counterattack, Rachel quickly adjusted, her tall figure displaying a caution that was completely different from hers.

Jiang Nannan succeeded in her first strike and then chopped down with all her strength.

A pink figure flashed, and a long leg suddenly appeared in front of Rachel. If that kick hit her, Rachel knew she would definitely be injured.

"What a bold woman," Rachel thought to herself.

In the sight of everyone, Rachel's figure disappeared again. When everyone found Rachel again, the two had already entangled with each other at a very fast speed. However, once they got into close combat, Jiang Nannan's advantage could not be fully utilized.

Because Rachel's dagger is not a martial spirit, but a genuine seventh-level soul guide.

As the soul rings on the field continued to light up, Rachel no longer had any worries. He saw rays of light constantly emerging, and a small personal soul guide appeared behind him. Along with this small soul guide, there was also another dagger.

"This Rachel is hiding her strength..." Beibei couldn't help but frowned when she saw this scene.

Huo Yuhao also sensed something was wrong and immediately said, “Rachel hasn’t released his other soul skills yet. He hasn’t even used many soul guides at all. It’s like…”

"Our academy is still trying to promote this fighting method!" Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise and said in a lost voice.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “I am not surprised that the Sun-Moon Empire has such technology, but why has this fighting method never been seen before, and now appears in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy? This is the problem we should pay attention to. The foundation of the Sun-Moon Empire is too terrifying.”

It was not the background of the Sun and Moon Empire that was terrifying, but Luo Yu. However, they did not take Luo Yu seriously, and even thought that Luo Yu's role was not as important as Rachel's.

Bang.

There was another fierce collision sound, and Rachel's daggers stabbed Jiang Nannan's shoulders heavily, but they were all blocked by a bright golden light. After a successful attack, Rachel continued to attack, but found that Jiang Nannan in front of him was not injured after being hit by his dagger, but it was like stabbing into a copper wall.

The golden light flashed for a while, and then retracted into Jiang Nannan's body. The next moment, Rachel felt a flash before her eyes, and Jiang Nannan stepped heavily on her chest. The huge force made Rachel roll backwards.

"Oh!"

It was another heavy blow, but Rachel dodged it miraculously. He also had a soul skill similar to teleportation, which was a soul skill that Luo Yu had carefully prepared for him. At that time, he thought it might be a bit useless. After all, with his style at that time, he wanted some more powerful attack soul skills.

In the stands, Luo Yu watched this scene and said, "Rachel won this game. There's no suspense."

"Luoyu, are you sure?" Monroe asked Luoyu with a smile.

Luo Yu nodded and said, "I believe Rachel."

Looking at Rachel on the stage, and the arena where one couldn't see the two figures clearly without using soul power, the battle became more and more stalemate. The more the two fought, the more stalemate it became, from the initial probing to the current crazy attack.

This was a process of getting familiar with each other, but as time went on, Jiang Nannan's disadvantages gradually became apparent. Her breathing became rapid, and even her speed began to lag behind Rachel.

In the contest of soul power, she was still at a disadvantage. As both were agility attack type soul masters, if her speed was not as fast as the opponent, she would face a catastrophic disaster!
Although Rachel had behaved extremely arrogantly in the previous competition, Jiang Nannan knew at this moment that he definitely had the capital to be so arrogant.

"Shadow Kill!"

A black shadow missed Jiang Nannan by a hair's breadth, and a black thread connected Han Yu's brow. At this moment, Rachel was completely hidden in the black shadow.

"Oops, that trick again!"

Jiang Nannan's face changed. From beginning to end, Rachel had only used his first three soul skills.

The first soul skill, Dark Blade.

The second soul skill is Shadow Step.

The third soul skill, Shadowless Flash.

For Jiang Nannan, each of these three soul skills gave her a headache. The Shadow Blade was added to the soul guide in Rachel's hand, so she didn't dare to use her soul power to block it. The second soul skill greatly increased Rachel's speed, which was like her own waist bow. This resulted in Jiang Nannan having to increase the consumption of her soul power in order to keep up with Rachel's speed.

A black light appeared, and Jiang Nannan's hair stood on end instantly. Her heart suddenly tightened, as if she was being stared at by something terrifying.

This is a crisis, a crisis of death!

A black shadow was like a messenger of death in the dark night, and the two daggers were like sickles that took Jiang Nannan's life. Before Jiang Nannan could dodge, the black shadow had rushed behind Jiang Nannan in an instant.

clang!
There was a sound of steel clashing, and a golden light appeared on Jiang Nannan's body. The golden light slowly dissipated, blocking all of Rachel's attacks.

The golden light faded, and Jiang Nannan's face turned pale. She had used the Invincible Golden Body twice in a short period of time, which completely consumed her limited soul power.

Looking at the staggering figure, Rachel did not continue to chase it. This kind of pursuit was meaningless to him, and now was not the time to kill. At least he proved that the myth of Shrek's invincibility had partially collapsed in his hands today.

"We admit defeat in the first match." Bei Bei did not hesitate and directly asked Xiao Xiao to take over Jiang Nan Nan, whose soul power was exhausted.

"Nannan, are you okay?" Tang Ya looked at the pale Jiang Nannan with concern. Jiang Nannan shook her head and said guiltily: "Teacher Xiaoya, Senior Brother, I'm sorry, I..."

“Senior Sister Nan Nan, this is not your fault. Even if you lose, we Ye won’t blame you. After all, this is just a competition. For us, this battle is just a chance to get to know the Sun Moon Team. So, it’s normal for us to win and lose.” Huo Yuhao was very confident and wise.

“Nannan, don’t worry. Huo Yuhao and I will take care of everything. Since Su Yu has handed the team over to us, we must take responsibility no matter what. Leave the rest to us.” Beibei comforted Jiang Nannan while thinking about who would play in the next game.

The choice of players to play is a headache. After all, no one knows who will play on the opposite side. If the player on the opposite side is Luo Yu, it will be useless no matter who is sent on the field. This is a touching and painful decision.

Lies are a magical thing. If used properly, they will help you succeed.

…………

"It's been a few days, why don't you let me go back?"

Wang Dong'er held Su Yu's arm, and stood in the place where Su Yu once disguised himself as Luo Yu and fought his way out of the siege alone in the Jingyang Mountains. She pouted, with a complaining tone in her voice.

"What's wrong? We're already husband and wife, and you've met each other's parents, but now you still dislike me?" Su Yu smiled, leaned down and kissed Wang Dong'er's forehead.

Wang Dong'er was a little shy and wanted to avoid him, but Su Yu held her gently. The more she tried to struggle, the tighter Su Yu held her, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the next moment.

"During the years in Mingdu, I actually thought about agreeing to the conditions of the hall master and moving my family to the Sun Moon Empire. After all, here, I can control the safety of my family. After all, I am half a Sun Moon Empire citizen, and my mother was once the hall master's student. For me, I don't have much sense of belonging to the Xingluo Empire."

During those two and a half years, Su Yu thought about this question the most. For him, it didn't matter where he went. However, there were still only two places that could provide Su Yu with the greatest help: the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Forest.

Girls who are in love are always a little silly in front of the person they like. I don’t know if it’s because Wang Dong’er herself is not on guard against Su Yu, or because of her unconditional dependence on Su Yu due to love, which makes Wang Dong’er look a little silly in front of Su Yu.

Wang Dong'er actually didn't fully understand Su Yu, and he was very clear about this. But most of the time, Su Yu knew that he couldn't tell Wang Dong'er many of his thoughts.

Just like Wang Dong'er mentioned her family, in fact, ever since Su Yu gave the Acacia Heartbreak Red to Wang Dong'er, she has had a subtle change, which even Su Yu only noticed recently.

Regarding this, Wang Dong'er herself did not realize that she had changed. However, Su Yu thought about it and realized that since the Qiankun Questioning Valley, Wang Dong'er's seal had been completely lifted. Now it was getting closer and closer to that time node, so it was inevitable that some variables would appear.

To plan ahead, one needs to have enough knowledge and information about the future. However, this is not a difficult matter for Su Yu. The difficult part is what will happen in the next month. If No. 2 has not connected the soul guide matrix of Mingdu, then he and Xuan Lao will eventually be forced into Qiankun Warmth Valley.

This is the worst outcome. If it really reaches the point of no return, then Su Yu has only one last way to go, regardless of the cost, to take Wang Dong'er away by force. If Wang Dong'er is completely transformed into Tang Wutong, Su Yu will never agree. He never thought that Tang Wutong, who had merged the memories of two people and woke up with a perverse temperament, would be the same person as Wang Dong'er.

"Have you figured it out?" Wang Dong'er looked into Su Yu's deep eyes and asked gently.

Su Yu smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Me?" Wang Dong'er was stunned, obviously not reacting.

"There are many times when there is actually no need to make so many unnecessary choices. When our strength reaches a certain level, we will no longer have these troubles."

Just one sentence made Wang Dong'er feel that Su Yu seemed to think everything was too simple.

From Soul Emperor to Soul Saint, to Soul Douluo, to Titled Douluo, Super Douluo, Peak Douluo, Ultimate Douluo...

For Wang Dong'er, perhaps she felt that she could always achieve her goal one day in the future, but deep down in her heart, she was vaguely worried about Su Yu.

She didn't understand why she was worried, and she didn't know why she felt she could reach those levels that she thought were not far away.

"Is that so..." Wang Dong'er frowned and did not ask any further questions.

"Dong'er, let's go back. I think there are many stories in Youmingdu that will interest you."

The sun sets, and in the afterglow of dusk, the figures of the two are stretched out very long, and finally slowly disappear into the twilight...

Wang Dong'er's mood changes could not be hidden from Su Yu, and Su Yu's mood changes could not be hidden from Wang Dong'er, and they did not point out each other's concerns. Sometimes, many things are not necessary to continue discussing.

Sun and Moon City, the capital of Ming.

This is a city that never sleeps in Su Yu's eyes. In this extremely modern city, Su Yu can always feel a strange sense of familiarity every time he travels and plays. This sense of familiarity comes from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps, the original soul guide technology really did come from another time and space?

"Why do you always like to walk around in Mingdu? Is Mingdu really that fun?" Wang Dong'er actually didn't understand why Su Yu always had a special liking for Mingdu among so many cities.

"Maybe... But it's not necessarily because Mingdu is fun, or because Mingdu has better scenery than other cities, but because Mingdu gives me a different feeling. You don't care about soul guides, so you can't understand the meaning of Mingdu. Anyway, one day, everything you see in Mingdu will be seen in the three empires in the future."

In a pastry shop in Mingdu, Su Yu and Wang Dong'er tasted snacks and thought deeply.

What attracted Su Yu was never the soul guide, nor Mingdu, but just a familiar feeling. If he liked it, he liked it, and if he didn't like it, he didn't like it. Why did he have so many reasons?

"Why? Will soul guides really replace soul masters in the future?" The question Wang Dong'er asked casually was actually the thought of the entire Shrek top management.

"No reason, because soul guides can replace soul masters to complete many things. For example, do we need specific martial souls and soul masters to conduct reconnaissance and reporting? If we use soul guides, we only need a trained ordinary soul master with the corresponding soul guide to complete it, which fundamentally saves a lot of resources. This is the simplest question. To make a simple analogy, if I want to see you, do I need to consume soul power and spend a lot of time to go to Haotian Sect to see you? But as long as I use soul guides, the time on the road will be reduced a lot, so I can have more time to accompany you."
