Director Su

Biodata

History

Director Su registers Huo Linfei at Noding Academy. Although the boy’s Innate Full Soul Power impresses him, he doubts the potential of the Martial Soul recorded as a Guard Dog. He nevertheless invites Huo to come to him with questions or problems 4.

When Huo asks for help obtaining his first Soul Ring, Su finds that the academy’s other suitable teachers are unavailable and takes him to the Soul Hunting Forest himself. He explains Soul Beasts and Soul Rings on the journey and warns Huo to stay close once they enter the forest 6 7. There, he drives off threats and gives Huo recovery pills after the boy kills a wounded Fire-Patterned Python. Su cannot remove the python’s thousand-year ring when it attaches itself to Huo, so he stays beside him throughout the dangerous absorption 7 8 9.

Huo succeeds, prompting Su to question whether the Martial Soul’s official Guard Dog identification was wrong. Su brings him back to Noding Academy and watches his match against Tang San 10 11 12. Over Huo’s three years at the academy, Su also helps him obtain his second Soul Ring. When Huo graduates, Su arranges an escort caravan to Heaven Dou City, gives him a recommendation to his friend Viscount Suo Luo, and advises him to stay with the caravan 12 13 15.
