New Spirit Soul!

Su Yu turned to look at Gu Yue. He remembered that the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue's goal was to take revenge on humanity and revive the great cause of the Soul Beasts.

That was also why Gu Yue had joined the Spirit Pagoda. With the Spirit Souls and Spirit Platforms most vital to Soul Masters, the Spirit Pagoda could carry out her plans quite effectively.

But what if the Spirit Pagoda was replaced by the Team Rocket in the future?

Would Gu Yue join the Team Rocket then?

Su Yu answered Gu Yue's question. "Snorlax and Soul Beasts... I can only say they're pretty similar!"

Then his tone abruptly shifted as he said mysteriously, "Oh, right. Let me tell you a secret. You absolutely can't tell anyone else!"

"What?" Xie Xie leaned closer. He loved hearing secrets.

"You know about the Team Rocket, right?"

Gu Yue and the other two nodded. "We do!"

"I heard that the Team Rocket will release a new Spirit Soul in the future!"

"A new Spirit Soul?!" Gu Yue and the other two exclaimed in surprise.

"You've seen Snorlax too. It's a Physical Soul Spirit. After forming a contract with it, it can provide a Soul Master with up to four Soul Rings."

"And the Soul Rings obtained depend on the user's physical condition. In theory, it can grant a hundred-thousand-year red Soul Ring!"

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"

Hearing Su Yu's words, Gu Yue and the others were shocked once again.

After all, the Spirit Pagoda's Artificial Spirit Souls could only create ten-thousand-year black Soul Rings, while these theoretical Pokémon Soul Spirits from the Team Rocket could be used as Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Souls.

Actually, Snorlax could grant Su Yu a Soul Ring, but the restrictions of his Arceus Martial Soul prevented him from absorbing the Soul Ring produced by Snorlax.

"Then wouldn't the Team Rocket replace the Spirit Pagoda in the future?" Xie Xie asked in astonishment.

Gu Yue fell into thought.

"Would these Pokémon Soul Spirits be very expensive?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.

"I'm not sure about that! But they should be very expensive!"

To be honest, Su Yu had not fully planned things out yet. He had brought it up now because he wanted Gu Yue to join the Team Rocket.

If possible, having Tang Wulin and Xie Xie join would not be bad either.

Those two would both become Super Douluos or stronger in the future. Tang Wulin would even surpass a Limit Douluo, reach the Divine Level, and become a Divine Craftsman.

"What are you four doing? Add ten more laps, all of you!" Wu Zhangkong's voice drifted over. It was not loud, yet all four of them tensed inwardly.

This was the pressure of their teacher.

In an instant, the four of them quickened their pace.

A day of classes quickly came to an end, and Su Yu lay on the field, gasping for breath.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie lay nearby.

"Why are these classes so exhausting?"

"Exactly!" Xie Xie complained.

At that moment, Su Yu's pupils abruptly widened. He sensed something somewhere that was truly drawing him in.

He rose to his feet and looked in that direction.

"This is the location of the next Slate," Su Yu murmured softly.

"What's wrong?" Tang Wulin asked, noticing Su Yu's reaction.

"Nothing." Su Yu shook his head.

"Tomorrow's the weekend. Come on, I'm treating today. It's also to welcome Su Yu to the group!" Xie Xie said as he got up and patted his chest.

"Really?" Tang Wulin's eyes lit up.

Xie Xie froze. Remembering Tang Wulin's appetite, he hesitated, but he had already said he was treating. He forced himself to nod. "Really!"

Then Xie Xie led Su Yu and the others out of the academy toward a nearby food street.

Along the way, Su Yu kept circulating Fighting Attribute Energy within his body.

Ever since obtaining his first Soul Ring, Su Yu had been able to convert Soul Power into Fighting Attribute Energy.

This was also the foundation for Su Yu's use of Fighting Moves.

As for the second Slate, Su Yu planned to look for it in a few days.

He was not in a hurry anyway. Other than himself, no one in this world should be able to use the Slate's power.

So Su Yu was not particularly anxious. He would stabilize his strength first, and there was also the matter of the Team Rocket to deal with recently.

After half a day of practice, his control over Fighting Attribute Energy had improved considerably.

He could also maintain the Detect move for a while now. At least he would no longer tear up.

After walking for half an hour, the four of them arrived at a nearby food street.

Shop after shop lined the street, and as soon as they arrived, fragrant aromas wafted into their noses.

"What are we eating, Xie Xie?" Tang Wulin asked, his eyes shining as he looked around at the shops.

"I know a place that serves braised beef in clay pots. The meat is especially soft and delicious!"

"Okay, okay!" Tang Wulin agreed immediately.

"What about you two?" Xie Xie turned to look at Su Yu and Gu Yue.

"Anything is fine," Gu Yue replied.

Su Yu nodded as well, though he was pondering something inwardly.

Braised beef in clay pots!

Could it be? Has the plot happened ahead of schedule?

In the original story, Xie Xie only took Tang Wulin and Gu Yue to eat this braised beef after they participated in a Class Promotion Tournament.

Now that it had happened earlier, he wondered whether things would still unfold as they had in the original story.

However, Su Yu did not dwell on it too much.

Soon, the four of them entered a small restaurant with five small long tables inside.

The stove was outside, where they could see clay pots simmering over the flames.

At this time, most of the seats in the restaurant were already occupied.

The four of them came to an empty long table, which was just enough for them.

"Uncle Li, four servings of braised beef in clay pots!" Xie Xie called out with a wave.

A middle-aged man came forward, still wearing an apron around his waist. Seeing Xie Xie, he smiled.

"Xie Xie, you're here! And you brought friends! The usual, right?"

"Yes! Thanks, Uncle Li!"

Next came a quiet wait.

During that time, the four of them chatted, and their relationship gradually grew more harmonious.

"Su Yu, where are you from?" Xie Xie asked casually.

However, just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Three figures entered from outside. The leader was bald, and Su Yu found him somewhat familiar.

"Li, it's time to pay this month's protection fee!" As soon as Guang Long appeared, he kicked over a long table.

Seeing this, some of the customers with poor manners left without even paying, while the more decent ones left money on their tables before departing.

In an instant, only Su Yu and the other three remained in the restaurant.

"Brother Guang Long, I'm a little short on cash right now. I really can't come up with that much money," Uncle Li said ingratiatingly.

"Heh, I don't care about that. Either pay up, or I'll smash this place!"

"Brother Guang Long, please don't! This is everything I earned today. Take it first, and I'll make up the rest later!"

After saying that, Uncle Li hurried to the counter and took out all the money he had made that day.

Guang Long accepted the money, counted it, and reluctantly said, "I'll give you a few more days!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Stop right there!" Xie Xie stepped forward and shouted.

"Oh?" Guang Long turned back with a grin.

At that moment, Uncle Li hurried over to Xie Xie. "Brother Guang Long, he's just a child who doesn't know any better. Please don't hold it against him."

"But he told me to stop," Guang Long said provocatively as he flaunted the money in his hand.

"He's just a child who doesn't know any better! He's just a child who doesn't know any better!" Uncle Li tried to pull Xie Xie away.

"Stop!" Guang Long barked.

"Brother Guang Long!" Uncle Li said with a forced smile.

"Cut the nonsense. That brat dared speak to me like that, so he should pay the price!" Guang Long said as he walked toward Xie Xie step by step.
