Journey to Star Dou: Su Yu's Deeds

Oscar said excitedly, "Really? No way, I have to try it."

With that, Oscar immediately went to find a kitchen knife and gently drew it across his own hand. As expected, nothing happened at all. Oscar, now reassured, slashed down without hesitation.

"Ah—"

Oscar screamed in pain.

Su Yu said with a smile, "I only said you'd be immune to blades and spears. I never said you wouldn't feel pain."

Oscar clutched his arm, which felt like it was about to break, his face twisted like he'd eaten something sour. "Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier? It hurts like hell..."

Su Yu helplessly waved his hand. "You didn't ask."

As he spoke, Su Yu suddenly noticed everyone around him staring at him with gleaming eyes. Startled, he took two steps back. "What do you guys want..."

"Hehehehe, Xiao Yu, how about giving me one too?" Dai Mubai said, rubbing his hands together.

Su Yu immediately spoke up. "Boss Dai, it's not that I don't want to give you all one, but this isn't a simple matter. To be honest, I can only use this heaven-defying technique three times, and I've already used all three."

"Alright, stop giving Su Yu a hard time. What Su Yu said must be true. How could such a heaven-defying technique be used so casually?" Flender spoke up at this point.

Everyone nodded, thinking to themselves that this reasoning did make sense.

In truth, Su Yu was just lazy, and he also felt they didn't need his help anyway, since they would all become gods eventually.

As for why Su Yu had helped Ma Hongjun in the first place, it was because he didn't want the tragedy from the original story to repeat itself. He wanted Ma Hongjun to obtain a Tier 1 Godhood so he could take Bai Chenxiang with him to the God Realm.

Flender said, "Alright, stop messing around. Since Ma Hongjun and Oscar have both reached level thirty, Teacher Zhao will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. You're a team. From now on, whenever any one of you needs a soul ring, you must all go together to help your teammate obtain it."

"Yes!" everyone replied.

Flender nodded slightly. "Good. Let's begin today's lesson. Your lesson today is very simple. Everyone has to eat two of Oscar's sausages."

"What?!" everyone shouted in confusion.

"Well, I'll be going now." Su Yu said, and immediately ran off.

No way. He wasn't eating something that disgusting. It wasn't like he needed to replenish his soul power or anything.

After Su Yu ran off, Xiao Wu tried to run too, but Flender directly blocked her. "Except for Xiao Yu, none of you are getting away!"

Early the next morning

Tang San woke up and shook Su Yu. "Xiao Yu, get up."

Su Yu yawned, then sat up. "You go ahead. I'll catch up."

Tang San nodded and left. As soon as Tang San was out the door, Su Yu lay back down, and after a moment, he was fast asleep again...

Everyone quickly gathered at the training field. Zhao Wuji looked at the eight people before him and asked, "Why isn't that kid Su Yu here yet?"

"Teacher Zhao, maybe we shouldn't call Xiao Yu," Tang San said.

"Why? Even though that kid Su Yu's strength is a bit monstrous and he could help Oscar get a soul beast in one go, I can tell him not to act so easily," Zhao Wuji said, looking at Tang San.

Tang San gave a wry smile. "Teacher Zhao, Xiao Yu and I have been to the Soul Hunting Forest three times. The first time, he attracted two packs of hundred-year Netherworld Wolves. The second time, he attracted three packs of thousand-year Blazing Fire Earth Lizards. The third time, he attracted three ten-thousand-year Frost Ice Serpents."

"Uh..."

Everyone stared at Tang San in shock. Dai Mubai patted Tang San on the shoulder. "Xiao San, the fact that you're still alive after being with Su Yu is no small feat."

"Mm-hmm." Everyone nodded in agreement.

One moment he'd attract a group of soul beasts, the next another group, each time stronger. Good heavens, they all wanted to run away right now, terrified that Su Yu might wake up and insist on coming with them.

Zhao Wuji was also stunned after hearing Su Yu's exploits. He said, "Alright then, let's set off. Better not call that kid Su Yu. Who knows if he'd tear a hole in the sky if he went to the Star Dou Great Forest..."

"Teacher Zhao is wise!" everyone said with a laugh.

Back in his room, Su Yu, still fast asleep, sneezed and mumbled groggily, "Who's talking behind my back..."

Su Yu slept all the way until noon before waking up. After washing up, he came to the academy and looked at the empty grounds. Annoyed, he said, "You guys, you didn't even wait for me."

"Was it them not waiting for you? Wasn't it just you being lazy?" Suddenly, Flender's voice sounded behind Su Yu.

Su Yu looked at Flender, then clasped his hands behind his head. "I really don't get why you all get up so early. Sleeping in a bit longer is so comfortable."

"Xiao Yu, we are soul masters. We need to cultivate. Not everyone is like you, who can have such strength without effort. If they don't want to fall behind others, they have to work their hardest every single moment," Flender lectured Su Yu.

Listening to Flender's words, Su Yu found them quite reasonable. He put on a serious expression. "Alright then. From now on, I'll get up an hour earlier!"

Flender: "..."

Flender stared at Su Yu with a speechless look.

Su Yu looked back at Flender and took two steps back. "What's with that look? I'm telling you, an hour and a half at most. No more."

"Forget it. You really are one of a kind. I'm leaving." Flender shook his head with a smile and walked away.

Flender didn't see the flicker of loneliness in Su Yu's eyes after he left.

How could Flender know how hard Su Yu had worked in the past? Soul masters worked hard to become stronger, to become the center of attention, to stand at the peak of the world.

Su Yu, on the other hand, had worked hard just to survive in that cruel society!

Su Yu would never forget those days of pushing himself to the limit, exhausted like a dog, all just to stay alive. That was why, after arriving on the Douluo Continent, he lived like a salted fish, sleeping until he naturally woke up, and avoiding doing anything he didn't have to.

Su Yu, hands behind his head, walked back to the dormitory, muttering to himself, "Being a salted fish is the best. Don't have to think about anything, just live my own little life..."

Back in the dorm, Su Yu let the Husky out. He patted Erha on the head. "Erha, go find Xiao Wu. Protect her, got it?"

Erha stuck out its tongue and nodded. Su Yu smiled, swept his hand through the air, and tore open a Space Rift.
