To take the simplest measure-combat strength-Su Yuan felt he could easily defeat his untrained self from half a month ago.
And Wang Xian'er's special training naturally involved more than just tempering him in extreme environments.
High-pressure cultivation every day, without a moment to catch his breath-even an iron man couldn't take that.
So she still gave Su Yuan a little time each day to "relax" and learn how to use Soul Tools.
How considerate of her, sob, sob...
The first stage of training came to an end.
Training that squeezed his potential to its limits couldn't last too long, or it could squeeze him dry and leave his body utterly depleted.
Su Yuan's current results were already excellent, and his dormant physical potential had been fully awakened. In the second stage of training, they could feed it with even more resources.
Only once his body had "woken up" would its ability to digest them grow stronger.
With the banquet approaching, Su Yuan was also given three days off: the first to relax, the second to attend the banquet, and the third to adjust his condition. The second stage of training would begin on the fourth day.
As Wang Xian'er put it, once he went to Shrek, there would certainly be no one who could arrange every last detail of his cultivation plan the way she did, so they had to complete the training plan before he left.
The sooner he ate, the sooner he could enjoy the benefits, and the sooner his body could enter its digestion and recovery phase.
Once Su Yuan finished a semester of classes, his body would have returned to a relaxed state, allowing him to undergo another round of special cultivation training.
Honestly, if not for the traits, Su Yuan really wouldn't have wanted to go to Shrek anymore.
How could cultivating at Shrek compare to having a Level 98 powerhouse design a cultivation plan for him one-on-one, with unlimited supplies of every resource?
But there was no helping it. The system's operating rules were what they were, and if he wanted traits, nowhere on the entire Douluo Continent was better suited than Shrek.
The cultivation conditions Wang Xian'er provided surpassed Shrek's countless times over, but with all the absolute legends gathered at Shrek, who knew? It might drop a wheelchair-tier trait like [Never Bully a Poor Young Man].
Traits definitely took priority over cultivating on his own.
Before heading to Shrek, Su Yuan was also looking forward to seeing whether tomorrow's banquet might give him some new traits.
The Star Luo Empire didn't have that many key figures from the story, and there were relatively few absolute legends there too. At a formal occasion like a top-tier banquet, some ridiculous iconic scene would probably be hard to come by.
His chances of obtaining a trait were actually rather slim.
But that didn't matter. When farming traits, he naturally had to get in on the action whenever an opportunity arose.
"The problem in front of me now isn't obtaining traits, but whether I should intercept Electrolux..." Su Yuan frowned deeply as he drank his flower tea.
He certainly had the means to intercept Electrolux. All he needed was to bring the gold of life. With only a wisp of his remnant soul left, Electrolux would surely choose to come to Su Yuan and use the gold of life to stabilize his divine consciousness, unless he wanted to die.
Although he couldn't guarantee Electrolux would come over, his odds of intercepting him were at least eighty percent.
But the question that followed was whether intercepting Electrolux would do more good or harm.
Ordinary transmigrators intercepted Electrolux without exception for his vast knowledge and endless methods. Once his divine consciousness was repaired, Electrolux could also fulfill the prerequisite for the spirit-possession version of a Heaven-Rank Dou Technique.
But honestly, Su Yuan didn't particularly need Electrolux's help.
He wasn't a blank-slate transmigrator, but a system-equipped cheater-a guy who could coast to victory and reliably reach the God King realm in twenty-two years.
Electrolux's system and methods were indeed invaluable to people with no hope of advancing, and would very likely help them forge a new path.
But Su Yuan had no use for that. His path was already clear: straight to God King, with no need to blaze another trail.
Then there were Electrolux's Necromancy and Undead Demiplane. These methods that didn't belong to the Douluo Continent were indeed powerful, and they were also the bane of Evil Soul Masters.
But...
Was Profound Ice Dragon Soars a method native to the Douluo Continent, then?
Since Su Yuan could obtain Hai Bodong's signature technique from a trait, he could naturally obtain the signature techniques of other powerhouses across the myriad worlds.
Things like "Soul Beasts feel no pain: Ultra Guillotine," "See You Again, the GOAT's helicopter crash: Lightning Cyclone Slash," or "Evil Soul Master, you've got some nerve: Corona Ray"...
With memes, anything was possible.
So whether it was his knowledge or his methods, Electrolux's help to Su Yuan would actually be extremely limited.
And the drawbacks?
It would be like having a god-level old geezer in his Sea of Consciousness, who would occasionally turn into a mage who'd had enough and fall asleep on the spot, while peeking at his every move at completely random intervals, leaving him with no privacy or sense of security...
Compared with the dispensable help Electrolux could offer, Su Yuan was far less willing to have such an old geezer watching his every move.
He wasn't the innocent, easily fooled Lao Huo. He was someone living a second life, carrying his previous life's memories and a system cheat.
The system's trait rewards were simple, brutal, and utterly unreasonable. And Electrolux wasn't Wang Xian'er-he wouldn't trust Su Yuan unconditionally. Just because Wang Xian'er wasn't curious about Su Yuan's secrets, did that guarantee Electrolux wouldn't probe his hidden cards?
No matter how kind and gentle Electrolux had been in the original Douluo II, or what sort of venerable mentor he had played, that didn't change the fact that he was the Death Saint Mage who had once nearly destroyed a continent and taken on the whole world alone-a monstrously powerful man known as the Undead Calamity.
By the time his thoughts reached this point, Su Yuan had actually already made his decision.
Electrolux wasn't indispensable.
The very fact that he was considering whether intercepting Electrolux would bring greater benefits or drawbacks meant he was already hesitating. It wasn't something he absolutely had to secure. In other words, he could give it up.
As a transmigrator, Su Yuan had too many secrets, and he didn't want to lay them bare before an ultimate old geezer like Electrolux.
Besides, the gold of life in Wang Xian'er's hands couldn't possibly be given to Electrolux. She needed it to break through to Limit Douluo, so she couldn't hand it over for Electrolux to lodge in temporarily.
"Still, when Electrolux descends, I should be able to go check in, right?" Su Yuan suddenly thought of something else.
With the sun and moon in my grasp, I pluck the stars!
None in this world can rival me!
Wasn't Electrolux's descent an iconic scene too?
By witnessing Electrolux's descent, he might obtain his entire inheritance without even having to let Electrolux possess him!
After all, don't ask too many questions about the system, hahaha~
"Then it's settled. I won't take Electrolux. I'll just go check in when the time comes and see if I can get lucky and have an Electrolux inheritance trait drop!"
Once the tangled mess of thoughts unraveled, a single thought left Su Yuan feeling that heaven and earth had suddenly opened wide.
The same old rule still applied: traits came before everything!
"Oh, right, Sister Xian'er, you shouldn't need all that gold of life to break through to Limit Douluo. Find a way to cut off a piece the size of a teardrop for me. I'll carry it with me in case of emergencies!" Su Yuan turned and went straight to Wang Xian'er.
She should be able to cut the gold of life!
