Chapter 59 Silent Farewell
For young people, perhaps, this is what they expect...
I hope that there will be years to look back on, time to go back, and someone who is willing to wait quietly with us with expectations and hopes...
"Wait for me to go back. I miss you a lot, too."
Putting away the soul guide blueprint in front of him, Su Yu lay on the roof, looking at the starry sky.
I will be leaving in a week or so. I hope that tragedy will not happen again in the future. After all, I don’t expect such sadness that makes people feel uncomfortable…
He sighed and stared in the direction of Shrek for a long time without saying anything. Perhaps only he knew the reason...
After being discharged from the hospital, Su Yu got the opportunity to enter Mingde Hall as he wished. As a student of Xuan Ziwen, it was natural for him to study in Mingde Hall, but the assessment of Mingde Hall was no joke.
Arriving at Mingde Hall's laboratory, Su Yu and his companions were particularly excited, especially Keke, the Hungry Lord who kept complaining about being hungry. Her big eyes were basically full of little stars. As for Juzi, she still had that silly and cute look on her face, as if she had never woken up.
"This is where the most advanced soul guidance technology of our Sun-Moon Empire is located. Not only are the elites of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy here, but it can be said that the strongest soul guides of our entire Sun-Moon Empire are all here!"
Xuan Ziwen was actually not wrong. It could even be said that all the top soul guides in Douluo Continent were here. As for Shrek's soul guide department...
It is no exaggeration to describe it in one sentence: the light of a firefly cannot compete with the bright moon, or even compete with the scorching sun!
Orange at the side suddenly spoke up, and that crisp voice immediately brought Su Yu back to reality, "Students studying in Mingde Hall are divided into groups, and the size of each group is different. Generally speaking, there will not be five people in Shaole."
Five of us, me, Juzi, Hungry Lord Keke, Wang Shaojie, and Zimu, it seems just right.
Two years later, when Huo Yuhao entered Mingde Hall, Xuan Ziwen was already an eighth-level soul engineer. Calculating the time, it is estimated that after a period of time, Xuan Ziwen should officially become an eighth-level soul engineer.
It would be great if Xuan Ziwen could also recruit his teacher. After all, he is a ninth-level soul guide. If he could recruit him, the research progress of subsequent soul guides would definitely double...
This idea can only be thought about. Those who enter the core of Mingde Hall are not ordinary people. They also have to pay a price. Otherwise, with Xuan Ziwen as an eighth-level peak soul engineer, why didn't he join Mingde Hall and why didn't he become a core member of Mingde Hall?
Wherever there are pros, there are disadvantages. The reason why Xuan Ziwen did not join Mingdetang was definitely not because he did not have the ability, but because he could not accept Mingdetang's conditions, so he could only exchange resources with Mingdetang through his own design.
The time is not yet ripe, I just need to wait for a while. When the time comes, as long as I offer the conditions, Xuan Ziwen will definitely be willing to work for me.
In the laboratory of Mingde Hall, what Su Yu cared about was not the topic that Xuan Ziwen gave him, but the so-called rare metals. Some things had to be prepared before the war broke out. Once the war came, all war-related materials would be greatly controlled.
With the financial resources of the Su Yu family, they are fully capable of preparing supplies a few years before the war begins and making foolproof plans for everything, at least to leave themselves a way out.
After Xuan Ziwen gave them the research topic, he left. The five of them began to carve out the soul guide formation on the five experimental tables.
Every design in Mingde Hall has a unique meaning. Whether in the open or in the dark, there are hidden soul guides. Some are used for surveillance, and some are used for attack and defense.
Rather than saying that this is a soul guide factory, it would be better to say that this is a production base for war machines. The entire Mingde Hall is like a sophisticated war machine, running in an orderly manner. Once the war begins, a steady supply of soul guides will be sent to the front line.
This is the representative place of the core soul guide knowledge and technical background of the Sun-Moon Empire, and it is also the foundation of the Sun-Moon Empire.
Looking at the limited metal configuration on the table, Su Yu couldn't help but complain: "With just this little bit of metal, how can we conduct experiments?"
"You should be content. These rare metals are all in quota. It's good enough that you can use them. If you don't need them, give them to me. I still don't have enough."
Pinching Su Yu's face, Orange looked at the rare metal on the table with a greedy look on his face.
Su Yu didn't expect the remaining time to bring him much improvement. After all, even if he had achievements, it would be impossible for him to advance from a third-level soul engineer to a fourth-level soul engineer in a week.
It is better to give it to others than to keep it.
Looking at the rows of buttons of different colors on the table, Su Yu pressed them all.
"Sister Orange, you can use all my rare metals. Just remember to help me make my flying soul guide. Don't worry about the materials. We have them all here."
Can I use these things? Sorry, they are all rare metals that I got for free. I have written down all the varieties and will ask the old man to stock up on them when I go back. Anyway, I have assets in the Sun-Moon Empire.
Lack of money? That doesn't exist...
The place Xuan Ziwen left was the No. 1 experimental area, where the future humanoid soul guide was born.
However, what Su Yu couldn't understand was that the Sun-Moon Empire, with such a powerful foundation, could only research and develop a semi-finished product. How could Huo Yuhao, who was just a fourth-level soul engineer, be able to develop it easily in the future?
Is this the protagonist? This person is more powerful than all the core soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire combined, and there is even a ninth-level soul master among them...
Su Yu quietly released his martial soul and copied all the movements of the soul guide formation on the scene until they left Mingde Hall.
Ever since entering Mingde Hall, Su Yu seemed to have disappeared from everyone's sight. All he did every day was practice with Ji Juechen. Ji Juechen was always stubborn and refused to use strength beyond the third ring.
However, Ji Juechen's progress has reached a level that even Su Yu was surprised. It seemed that he was a long sword drawn from its sheath, and every attack he made was a sharpening process.
Although he still could not defeat Su Yu with the same level of strength, every time he suppressed his strength, Ji Juechen could hold on longer and longer, and even his control over his own strength became more and more precise.
The most obvious thing is Ji Juechen's swordsmanship. Su Yu can clearly feel the transformation of Ji Juechen's sword intent. Originally it was unstoppable, but now it has a bit of the flavor of "one sword dominates all". However, it is still far from the true "I am the only one who dominates all swords in the world".
"Come on, big brother, stop for a moment and let me rest for a while. I'm so tired..."
After putting away his sword, Su Yu sat on the steps. His whole body was already soaked in sweat and his soul power was almost exhausted.
Ji Juechen put away his sword, sat down on the steps, looked at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in the distance, and slowly said: "My sword intent is different from what you pursue. I can feel the desire hidden in your heart."
"Oh, Ji Juechen, Ji Jianxian, tell me what you felt?"
Looking at the serious Ji Juechen in front of him, as a pure sword cultivator, Su Yu knew that he had extraordinary intuition in certain aspects.
"I don't know, but I can feel that your future journey will be very long..."
A rare glimmer of color appeared in Ji Juechen's eyes. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Su Yu saw the brilliance in Ji Juechen's eyes. Those eyes seemed to contain the sharpness of sword intent. "Yes, maybe you are right, but remember, your road is also very long. I am leaving. I hope that when I come back, you will no longer be defeated by me."
Su Yu handed the soul guide that Ju Zi had made for him to Ji Juechen, then stood up and left.
"What is this? Why do I feel like it's a flying soul guide?"
Looking at Su Yu's receding back, Ji Juechen looked at the soul guide in his hand with some confusion. For this new thing, Ji Juechen really didn't know how to use it.
"Don't chase me. I have drawn the instructions in a manual and put it in the storage compartment of the soul guide. By the way, next time you fight with someone, give it a try and don't get yourself beaten up. If you lose with my soul guide, I, Luo Yu, will not be able to afford this."
The voice fell, but the person had disappeared.
dong dong dong.
Su Yu knocked on Xuan Ziwen's office door. He came to see Xuan Ziwen today to ask for leave, or to find a legitimate excuse for disappearance. After all, he didn't want to stay here forever.
"Come in."
Xuan Ziwen's voice came from the office, and then he pushed open the door. In Xuan Ziwen's hands were a pile of complicated parts, but now only less than one-tenth of them had been assembled.
Obviously, Xuan Ziwen was stuck in an endless loop. He wanted to assemble a part of the silent sleeve arrow with the help of that quarter of the blueprint, but he didn't know how to assemble it, so he made mistakes again and again.
"What are you doing here? Did Orange get into trouble again, or did Ke Ke and the others steal your breakfast again?"
Xuan Ziwen frowned, looked at Su Yu in front of him and asked with a somewhat amused look.
In the beginning, Xuan Ziwen didn't pay attention to Su Yu's report, but after he witnessed the four-person gang committing a crime with his own eyes, he could only reprimand them helplessly.
As for Ju Zi, she has been causing a lot of trouble since Su Yu came. She either teases Su Yu or makes bombs in the lab. She has had more failed experiments than Su Yu. The worst thing is that she always occupies Su Yu's lab table...
Su Yu shook his head and said, "No, Sister Juzi and Senior Sister Keke are very kind to me. I came here today to ask for leave."
"Well, a leave?"
Xuan Ziwen put down the parts in his hand and looked up at Su Yu, wondering why he asked for leave.
"Yes, you heard me right, I'm here to ask for leave." Su Yu knew that he couldn't stay like this any longer. If he continued to drag it on, he might really be tracked down by then.
"What are you going to do? I remember you didn't seem to have anything else to do?" Xuan Ziwen was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Luo Yu, a commoner, wanted to ask for leave from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy.
Looking at Xuan Ziwen's puzzled expression, Su Yu knew that Xuan Ziwen had some guesses, but he definitely didn't know his true identity. "Teacher Xuan, it is precisely because of some personal matters that I have to ask for leave from you. As a thank you, I will give you a quarter of the drawings."
"A quarter of the drawings? Really?"
Xuan Ziwen grabbed Su Yu's shoulders excitedly and asked, "What? You said you would give me a quarter of the drawings? Is that true?"
In just a few words, Su Yu's small body was shaken by Xuan Ziwen, who had just reached the eighth level of soul mentor, "Teacher Xuan, let go first..."
Su Yu was very straightforward. After handing over the blueprint, Xuan Ziwen waved his hand with a smile on his face. Then he looked at Su Yu and waved, saying, "I don't care how long you stay, just remember to tell me when you come back. Go, go..."
Then, he kicked Su out of the office, and disappeared with the design drawings. It was expected that he went to the laboratory to conduct experiments.
"Go ahead, go ahead. You don't really think you can figure it out with just half of the design, do you? There's still assembly to do. Even if I put the complete design in front of you, you won't be able to figure it out."
Back in the lab, Su Yu called everyone together and said, "I'm treating you tonight. Is anyone coming?"
"What, you want to treat us? Then I, Keke, must go!" Keke, the Hungry Lord who was standing next to Su Yu, spoke. When she heard that Su Yu wanted to treat them, her saliva almost dripped onto Su Yu.
"What about Senior Wang Shaojie and Senior Zimu?"
Su Yu looked at the two tall young men in front of him. Although they were not considered upright students in the original book, after Su Yu's contact with them, he found that although they had some arrogance of young masters, their character was not so bad.
"Go, why not? Is it possible that Junior Brother Luoyu will cook for us? We must make up for the meal we had at Jingyang Mountain last time!"
Wang Shaojie patted Su Yu's shoulder with anticipation in his eyes. Zi Mu also nodded, and finally everyone looked at Juzi.
Juzi stretched her waist, and her school uniform was stretched out into an attractive curve. Her soft skin shone brightly under the light, and her innocent temperament was revealed. She slowly stood up, pinched Su Yu's face and said, "You said so. Let's go. Why are you still standing there? It's time for dinner!"
At night, in the dimly lit wilderness, there was a messy place. Su Yu and Ju Zi sat together against a big tree, looking at Zi Mu, Wang Shaojie and the Hungry Lord Ke Ke who were still fighting for the few foods.
"It would be nice if it could be like this in the future, don't you think, Luoyu?" Juzi looked at the scene with some relief. There was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
"Maybe, there will be in the future..."
There is gathering and there is separation, life is like this, but from beginning to end, Su Yu did not realize the nostalgia and expectation in Ju Zi's eyes when she looked at him...
Looking at the starless night sky, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It's finally time to say goodbye. Goodbye, Sister Juzi, Senior Sister Keke, and Senior Brother Wang Shaojie, Senior Brother Zimu..."
