Chapter 178 The Birth of the Energy Core
Back at the Su family home, Su Yu looked at Su Xinyuan with a pained expression and sighed helplessly.
"It's not like I'm asking you to sell your body, why are you sighing like that, you brat?" Su Xinyuan said with some dissatisfaction.
Su Yu leaned back weakly on the soft sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. "I handed over half of the goods that Mingdetang gave us to Xu Jiawei, and also gave him all the correspondence between our family and Mingdetang of the Sun Moon Empire."
"Go on, I know things aren't that simple. Xu Jiawei is a cunning old fox; he won't just give up like this. But you really did take a risk this time." Despite his dissatisfaction, Su Xinyuan could roughly guess the price Su Yu had paid.
Su Yu continued, "Actually, there's not much of a price to pay. However, before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament three months from now, I can only stay in the family and have to go to his sister's place every day to be her sparring partner."
"Could this be considered a form of house arrest?" Su Xinyuan's expression was somewhat unnatural, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.
Su Yu continued, "Not exactly, but I think his purpose is actually very simple. We are all in the Star Luo Imperial Capital, and it's impossible for us to cause any trouble under his nose. If anything unusual happens, I will be the first one to be in trouble, and then everyone else will be affected."
"Of course I know more about that than you do, but I seem to remember you advising me to relocate to the Sun Moon Empire as soon as possible. Did you already know about the current situation?"
Su Xinyuan looked at Su Yu with a ghost-like expression; his son had always been mysterious.
Ever since his son decided to join Shrek Academy, he has been exhibiting some strange behaviors.
He ventured alone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy of the Sun Moon Empire, studied there for two years, and even managed to snag a bargain at an auction.
The most outrageous thing wasn't even that; his son, in a daze, went to the black market and made a fortune. Often, what follows is even more absurd than what happened before. Just when Su Xinyuan thought it was all over...
Su Yu had someone bring back a starlight sapphire, inside which was a top-tier level nine soul tool...
On the night the Sea God's Fate ended, he returned carrying a stunningly beautiful young woman and told her that she was his daughter-in-law...
…………
There were so many outrageous things that Su Xinyuan didn't know how to describe his son's rapid growth.
"It's not that I knew all along. I can only say that the three great empires are like a dam that will collapse at the slightest touch in front of the Sun Moon Empire. Even with Shrek Academy's help, the final outcome will still be the Sun Moon Empire unifying the continent." Su Yu picked up the juice brought by the servant and took a small sip.
Su Xinyuan looked somewhat uneasy: "Are you telling the truth?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, that's not entirely true. If a god appears, whatever happens will be a farce."
"God?" Su Xinyuan didn't understand. He seemed to be completely trapped in an incomprehensible loop.
Su Yu nodded: "That's right, they are gods. Ten thousand years ago, after the Shrek Seven Devils defeated the Spirit Hall, they successively became gods. Above the Douluo Continent, there is also a small world, which is the God Realm. All the gods of the Douluo Continent gather there. However, the previous god left the God Realm after the Shrek Seven Devils succeeded to the godhood, to explore a larger universe."
"What are you talking about, and how do you know all this?" Su Xinyuan was bewildered. Although he knew some of these things, he didn't know them in such detail.
Su Yu took out a brand-new book from his storage soul tool. "This contains the main points. I compiled it from the Shrek Sea God Pavilion's library. Please take a look. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
After tossing Su Xinyuan a simplified version of Douluo Continent history, Su Yu got up and left.
"I'm going to the Myriad Mirrors Sect. If anything happens, just remind me that things won't be peaceful these next few days. Give them whatever they want. Just don't use your son for a political marriage."
Su Yu arrived at the bronze gate and disappeared into the secret passage.
"Bullshit, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Su Xinyuan said through gritted teeth as he watched Su Yu's departing figure.
After Su Yu left, Su Xinyuan gently stroked the book in his hand and muttered to himself, "That kid is something else. He's ruined the Sea God Pavilion's library."
This simplified version of the Douluo history was compiled by Su Yu, who spent some time in the Sea God Pavilion's library at Shrek Academy, and simply summarized the development history of Douluo.
Of course, the history compiled by Shrek Academy is not necessarily entirely accurate. For example, the history of the Seven Devils' ascension is only mentioned in a very vague way.
However, the history of the battle between the two gods is indeed recorded in great detail.
However, nothing was recorded afterward.
The great Shrek Seven Devils led everyone to defeat the evil Spirit Hall, and under the admiring gaze of the world, they ushered in their era of becoming gods.
The above information comes from the Shrek Seven Devils, a historical record of Shrek.
…………
"You've finally arrived, kid. Now you've transformed into the sect leader of the Myriad Mirrors Sect?" Looking at the unfamiliar young man before him, Xuan Ziwen suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Teacher Xuan, although it's a bit strange, Luo Yu has always been me."
Xuan Ziwen looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him. Although the voice and the face were completely unfamiliar, when Su Yu said "Teacher Xuan," he felt a sense of familiarity.
"Luo Yu is also you? Then how can you have two people at the same time?" This was actually Xuan Ziwen's biggest question.
How can one person become two people, and how can these two people be the same person?
With these questions in mind, Xuan Ziwen decided that he should ask all the questions that puzzled him, otherwise they would become a growing shadow in his heart.
"Actually, this is also one of my abilities, but back then, what I was learning from you was actually me," Su Yu replied after thinking for a moment.
Xuan Ziwen continued, "When did you leave?"
"Around the time when Elder Mu passed away, Luo Yu has always been my alter ego."
Xuan Ziwen was one of their own, and Su Yu felt there was no need to hide anything.
"So, since then, the one studying in Mingde Hall has always been Luo Yu?" Xuan Ziwen looked like he had seen a ghost, as if he had uncovered a huge secret.
"If that's what you're saying, then it's pretty much true." Su Yu recalled those cautious days back then, and now he still feels quite a sense of accomplishment.
Xuan Ziwen thought for a moment, then picked up a pile of blueprints, drawings, and manuscripts. "These things were also designed by you, and the sect inheritance that Luo Yu mentioned was also yours, right?"
"Yes!" Su Yu nodded.
"And how did you create that first experimental subject?" Looking at the enormous first experimental subject in front of him, Xuan Ziwen put down the carving knife in his hand, stood up and looked at Su Yu.
"Teacher Xuan, are you sure you want to know how I stole Number One?" Su Yu's expression was somewhat unnatural. He almost lost his life when he stole Number One.
"Tell me, I'm listening." Xuan Ziwen had always wanted to know how Su Yu had managed to steal Number One back then.
In a place like Mingde Hall, it takes skill to steal Number One out quietly.
Even the sect leader of the Body Sect couldn't have done it alone. How did Su Yu manage to do it?
This question was not only something Xuan Ziwen wanted to know why, but also something Su Xinyuan wanted to know.
"The specifics have to start with the last time the Body Sect attacked Mingde Hall. Because, when the Body Sect attacked Mingde Hall last time, I was still studying inside Mingde Hall, and I didn't expect such a thing to happen. However, just when the violent explosion occurred inside Mingde Hall, I happened to be hiding under the table."
"To ensure my safety, I had no choice but to continue hiding underground. Who knew that there was a tunnel dug by the Body Sect underground? I continued to explore down the tunnel and arrived at the location of Experiment Subject Number One."
Su Yu knew that what he had experienced back then was much more serious than this, but he couldn't tell the whole story yet.
"And then you stole Number One and ran away?" Xuan Ziwen's face looked like he had just been beaten up.
Su Yu nodded and said, "I've studied soul tools, after all. Subject One could tell at a glance how valuable this thing is, so naturally I had to take it with me."
"So how did you manage to evade the inspection by Mingde Hall?" Xuan Ziwen continued to press.
Su Yu pointed to the first experimental subject, "At the time, I also guessed that this thing could not be kept on my body, so after I went back that day, I went to your laboratory to study."
Only then did Xuan Ziwen realize, "Oh, I know, Luo Yu came that day too, and you handed Number One over to Luo Yu!"
"Yes, so later, with the cooperation of Luo Yu and me, Number One was stolen from the Sun Moon Empire without anyone noticing. Although Luo Yu is also me, I guess you could say I stole Number One all by myself." Su Yu sighed. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been dead on the spot.
Xuan Ziwen: "…………"
“…………”
Looking at the young man in front of him, Xuan Ziwen felt as if something inside him had collapsed.
Along with it, Xuan Ziwen's values and hope for the world also collapsed...
"Teacher Xuan, now that you're here, I don't think you'll leave. After all, I think the number one experimental subject alone is enough for us to study for a lifetime, not to mention my design drawings and our family's resources. This is your paradise, the most suitable place for you."
Su Yu looked at Xuan Ziwen, whose eyes were shining, and carefully analyzed the advantages of staying here for him.
"Leave? I haven't thought about leaving since I arrived. Now that the mystery has been solved, let's work together to figure out a way to solve the research problem of Subject One." After hearing Su Yu's words, Xuan Ziwen pulled Su Yu towards Subject One.
Su Yu thought for a moment, then said, "I think the problem that Number One needs to solve right now is its power. Although Number One is incredibly powerful, its biggest advantage right now is that it is uncontrollable. The amount of soul power required to control it is astonishing. Therefore, our current research should focus on providing power for Number One."
"You mean we need to make baby bottles to provide soul power to Number One?" Xuan Ziwen thought of the solution he could think of so far.
Su Yu shook his head and looked at the baby bottle in Xuan Ziwen's hand, saying, "I think what we need is not to produce baby bottles, but to upgrade and modify them."
"How do I upgrade? Do I need to make an extra-large baby bottle?" Xuan Ziwen thought of increasing the energy storage, but he still couldn't escape the constraints of the baby bottle.
"No, what we need to do is transform the milk bottle into a core for storing soul power. In its current form, the milk bottle is very difficult to use on Number One. If we transform and upgrade the milk bottle to this form, I think its function will be much greater."
As he spoke, Su Yu picked up the blueprints and began drawing the new baby bottle.
The brand-new baby bottle was named the Energy Core by Su Yu, and its appearance resembled a huge suit of armor embedded in the body of Number One.
"Give me ten days to give it a try. If it's a level seven soul tool, I think I can complete the initial testing in about three days. What level do you want to design it to be?" Xuan Ziwen asked, looking at the design drawings.
Su Yu continued, "My goal is not just to mass-produce the energy core for Number One. If the energy core can be compatible with all soul tools, I think Teacher Xuan's wish to make soul tools available to ordinary people will be one step closer."
"I understand. I'll leave the rest to you. But as for..." Xuan Ziwen looked at the laboratory in front of him and hesitated for a moment.
Su Yu noticed Xuan Ziwen's predicament and then said, "You don't need to worry about anything. You just need to arrange the resources and manpower yourself."
Seeing Xuan Ziwen directing everyone to get busy, Su Yu couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Would you say I've created an unconventional battery?
Perhaps.
"From now on, Teacher Xuan's words are my words, and you must obey his orders unconditionally."
After leaving those words, Xuan Ziwen looked at Su Yu excitedly, his eyes seemingly sparkling with excitement.
"Young Master, you should go and see His Majesty." After Su Yu returned home, the servant stepped forward to remind him.
"knew……"
Looking at the Imperial Guard Commander at the gate, Su Yu straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes and walked out the door.
This is a "once in my lifetime" series; I feel like I've become more diligent lately...
