Devil Training, Phase One

After leaving the training field, Xiao Wu brought Erha over to Su Yu and said, "Dead Su Yu, this time Erha protected me and saved Xiao San. He said if he performed well, he'd get a reward. Give Erha his reward."

Erha immediately stuck out his tongue and sat obediently in front of Su Yu. Su Yu smiled and said, "Erha, good work. Here, have two."

With that, Su Yu took two lollipops out from his Divine Core and tossed them straight into Erha's mouth. Erha's expression instantly turned like a dog in heat.

Xiao Wu stared blankly at Erha's blissful face, then curiously asked Su Yu, "Dead Su Yu, what did you feed Erha?"

"A lollipop." Su Yu took one out and popped it into his own mouth.

Xiao Wu looked at the lollipop in Su Yu's mouth and immediately said, "Give me one."

Su Yu refused without hesitation. "No."

Xiao Wu grabbed Su Yu's ear and said, "Are you giving it or not?!"

Su Yu yelped loudly. "Aah, aah, aah! A real man knows when to bend and when to stand tall. Fine, fine!" With that, Su Yu quickly took one out and shoved it into Xiao Wu's mouth.

Xiao Wu let go of Su Yu, licked the lollipop, and... mm, so sweet. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Yu. Su Yu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and immediately tried to run.

Xiao Wu was quick and wrapped herself around Su Yu, then said, "Dead Su Yu, I want more."

"There's none left! I've eaten them all!" Su Yu shouted.

"I don't believe your lies. Give them to me now!"

"This is robbery!"

"Robbery it is. Hurry up and give them to me."

Not long after, Xiao Wu walked away satisfied, clutching a big pile of lollipops. Su Yu watched her skip off and couldn't help but smile.

The next day.

Everyone gathered in the dining hall. Staring at the abundant food, they all looked at the scene in disbelief. Flender was famously stingy—how could breakfast be this lavish today?

Yu Xiaogang came before everyone and looked at Tang San. "Xiao Yu still hasn't gotten up?"

Tang San smiled and nodded. Yu Xiaogang gave a wry smile. "Alright, hurry up and eat breakfast. Class starts after you're done."

Everyone nodded and immediately began eating.

After breakfast, they all headed to the training field.

Yu Xiaogang looked at them and said, "I've already fully understood your Martial Souls and devised a training method tailored to each of you. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, step forward."

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun took a step forward.

Yu Xiaogang spoke. "I'm giving you two a task: knock the other six down without injuring their bones or tendons!"

"What? Master, you're not joking... Forget about Xiao San being a freak, even Oscar—we can't take him down!" Ma Hongjun said, looking frustrated.

Yu Xiaogang paused, confused. "Oscar is just a Food System Soul Master. You can't take him down?"

"Teacher, don't you know? Xiao Ao's body was somehow modified by Xiao Yu. Now he's impervious to blades and poison. He can still feel pain and get injured, but he can also recover his Soul Power and heal his wounds instantly by eating poison," Tang San explained.

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, then smiled. "In that case, Oscar, you're not allowed to eat poison during the sparring match."

Oscar nodded. "Understood!"

"Alright, begin." Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun didn't make a move. Instead, they looked at Yu Xiaogang, then at Xiao Wu. Yu Xiaogang understood what they were worried about—they were afraid of injuring Xiao Wu and having Su Yu beat them to death.

Yu Xiaogang spoke. "Don't worry. Xiao Yu has already said he won't interfere. If you hurt Xiao Wu, he won't come after you."

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun immediately relaxed. They activated Martial Soul Possession and stood opposite the six.

Tang San really wanted to remind them that Su Yu's words couldn't be trusted... If they actually hurt Xiao Wu, even if Su Yu didn't come after them himself, he'd send Erha to do it.

Yu Xiaogang knew this too, but he also knew Su Yu would at most give them a beating, so he wasn't worried about them.

Next, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were thoroughly thrashed by Tang San's group of six... Lin Rou's Ultimate Ice completely suppressed Ma Hongjun, while Tang San and the others similarly suppressed Dai Mubai. This left both of them feeling deeply frustrated.

During the sparring, everyone revealed a few flaws here and there. After being harshly criticized by Yu Xiaogang, they were sentenced to running laps.

While the eight were running laps, Su Yu finally woke up and came to the training field. He used the Reality Stone to conjure two chairs, placed one behind Yu Xiaogang, and sat down in the other.

Yu Xiaogang didn't stand on ceremony with Su Yu and sat down directly. He looked at Su Yu with a helpless expression. "Xiao Yu, I know your Storage Soul Tool is very advanced, but filling it with chairs, tables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots, and pans—you're wasting the Storage Soul Tool!"

Back when they were in the wild, every time it was time to cook, Su Yu would pull out these things, startling both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San. Who keeps stuff like that in their Storage Soul Tool?

The eight ran until they were drenched in sweat. Every time they passed by Yu Xiaogang and Su Yu, Su Yu would cheerfully wave and greet them. Seeing Su Yu's smug grin, they were so angry they wanted to strangle him.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head with a smile. "Xiao Yu, you're still this mischievous. Aren't you afraid they'll gang up on you?"

Su Yu didn't care at all. "Who's ganging up on who is still up for debate. If they dare come at me, I'll beat them until they call me big brother."

Yu Xiaogang gave a knowing smile. "Oh? What if it's the girls?"

Su Yu's smile instantly vanished. Yu Xiaogang chuckled. "Xiao Yu, after all these years, I know you've never laid a hand on a girl."

Su Yu pouted. "If it comes to that, if they chase me, I'll just go chase Xiao San and the others."

The boys still running suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

Three months later, the first phase of Yu Xiaogang's Devil Training officially ended, which delighted everyone—until they heard there was a second phase, and then they wished they were dead.

After the first phase concluded, Yu Xiaogang sent everyone to the Great Soul Arena to hone their skills, requiring them to register for one-on-one, two-on-two, and seven-on-seven matches.

However, because the group had grown larger, Lin Rou did not participate in the seven-on-seven battles, and the Yu Rou Combination of Lin Rou and Su Yu was also split up. After all, with Su Yu being so powerful, how could Yu Xiaogang let him join in? If Su Yu were to participate, wouldn't that be like cheating?
