Their eyes t, and Weina smiled. "Didn't expect us to be opponents in the semis."
Su Yu was surprised. "Princess Weina, you know ?"
Her deanor made it clear she knew sothing about him.
Weina smiled sweetly. "Sister Jiujiu often ntioned Young Master Su in front of ."
Su Yu's eyes flickered. Xu Jiujiu, huh?
He recalled these two were supposed to be best friends.
But as princesses of different empires, their friendship was probably superficial.
He rembered in the original novel, they had no qualms competing for business with Huo Yuhao.
Both princesses were impressive.
Xu Jiujiu had the rare Star Crown Martial Soul, her support skills not inferior to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
She was strong, and though she could only cultivate at night, her soul power was still high.
Weina was also exceptional, with twin martial souls, one being the brain martial soul, and engaged to the Body Sect.
Their top disciple, Long Aotian, was Weina's fiancé.
This woman was as skilled at diplomacy as Xu Jiujiu.
Su Yu smiled. "And what did she say about ?"
Weina replied, "In Sister Jiujiu's words, Young Master Su is a genius, handso, powerful—one of a kind."
"Now that I've t you, I see she was right."
Su Yu didn't respond but changed the topic: "Princess Weina is also stunning. I hear you're engaged to the Body Sect's top disciple, Long Aotian?"
Weina's eyes flashed with surprise—this engagent was supposed to be secret. How did Su Yu know?
Could it be because of the Ice God Palace's rivalry with the Body Sect?
If the Ice God Palace resented the Heavenly Soul Empire for allying with the Body Sect, things could get tricky.
The Ice God Palace was now a force to be reckoned with.
The Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family and the Body Sect were both powerful, but could they withstand the Ice God Palace?
Probably not!
Just the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who defeated two Ultimate Douluo, was enough to make them wary.
Even the arrogant Du Busi dared not make a sound after being taught a lesson.
Weina tried to maintain her composure, but her smile was a bit stiff. "It's true. Sect Master Du proposed, and the royal family couldn't refuse."
Su Yu gave her a aningful look. Body Sect took the initiative? Unlikely.
He shook his head inwardly.
Royal won, tsk.
He almost pitied Long Aotian.
But it had nothing to do with him, so Su Yu didn't care.
"Don't worry, Princess Weina. I was just asking. I'll take my leave."
With that, Su Yu turned and walked away.
Weina frowned. What did he an by that?
Was it just a casual comnt?
She felt a faint sense of unease.
Su Yu shook his head as he left the stage.
Not as impressive as the rumors. Weina wasn't even as interesting as Xu Jiujiu.
Xu Jiujiu was straightforward compared to Weina.
No point in talking to such a calculating woman.
Su Yu returned to his team, where Xue Di and the others were waiting.
"You made another beautiful friend?" Xue Di teased.
Su Yu waved it off. "Nothing like that. Let's go."
Xue Di glanced at him, sensing Weina hadn't left a good impression.
...
Sky Villa No. 1
Everyone gathered around the sofa.
Wang Dong'er draped herself over Su Yu, asking, "How are we arranging the semis? Who's going up?"
She seed excited—the Body Sect was tough, making it more interesting.
"I will fight Long Aotian," Di Mingli said coldly, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.
As a battle maniac, the stronger the opponent, the more excited she got.
Long Aotian's strength had piqued her interest.
"Want to handle it?" Xue Di asked softly.
Long Aotian was strong, but only she or Su Yu could handle him for sure.
But against her, he wouldn't stand a chance.
"No need. I'll handle the Body Sect myself," Su Yu said.
Everyone was surprised. "You personally?"
"Is that necessary?"
"Long Aotian's strong, but we can handle him."
All of them were Soul Emperors or higher—no team could match that.
Each was top-tier in their level, rarely eting equals.
Su Yu smiled, "I trust your strength, but it's the semis. Ti for to stretch my muscles."
Wang Dong'er pouted, "You interested in them?"
She'd seen Su Yu duel Tai Tan—earth-shaking.
The Body Sect was nothing compared to him.
"Not really. But since so people are coming for , I have to respond."
He briefly explained how Du Busi had instructed Long Aotian to teach him a lesson.
Everyone, even Xue Di, was furious.
"The Body Sect is too arrogant!" Wang Dong'er said, chest heaving.
"Deserves death!" Di Mingli's eyes were icy.
She cared for a few people, but Su Yu was the most important.
Those guys dared threaten him?
Courting death!
"Such arrogance," Xue Di sneered.
"The Body Sect's gone too far," Jiang Nannan said, face flushed with anger.
The girls were all indignant.
Su Yu felt ward by their concern.
He clapped his hands to get their attention. "The Body Sect wants to target . I know you all want to fight, but let handle it."
"If Du Busi wants taught a lesson, let's see who teaches who."
The girls, though a little disappointed, didn't object.
Having Su Yu fight would be the best response.
Wang Dong'er said, "Make sure you're ruthless. Show them who's boss."
Su Yu smiled, "Don't worry. I'll beat them senseless."
After a short chat, there was a knock at the door.
Jiang Nannan opened it—a man and a woman in Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy uniforms: Xiao Hongchen and ng Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen greeted Jiang Nannan and walked in.
Su Yu glanced at him, then at ng Hongchen, his expression softening.
"ng, your opponent is the Holy Spirit Sect in the semis. Be careful—they're dangerous."
Even if they hadn't co, Su Yu would have gone to warn them.
Their next opponents were Evil Soul Masters—he was worried.
If possible, he would have preferred to face the Holy Spirit Sect first, to catch them off guard.
But the draw had given him the Body Sect.
Compared to the Holy Spirit Sect, the Body Sect was annoying but not evil.
He'd have to be careful not to show too much of his strength, though—it might scare the Holy Spirit Sect into retreat.
Still, nothing to be done—he'd just have to control himself.
He needed to warn ng Hongchen, though.
Even if the Holy Spirit Sect and the imperial family were in cahoots, caution was needed.
Evil Soul Masters were unpredictable—better safe than sorry.
ng Hongchen nodded.
Xiao Hongchen sipped his tea, unconcerned. "You worry too much, brother-in-law."
"We're both Soul Sages. Who can beat us besides you?"
"It's just a bunch of Evil Soul Masters—no problem!"
He was very confident.
With two Soul Sages, who could match them besides Su Yu?
"That's great, good for you," Su Yu said emotionlessly.
"Of course, I'm great—" Xiao Hongchen started, but suddenly felt a chill.
He turned and t Su Yu's cold eyes, shivering.
"Brother-in-law, what's with you—"
Su Yu glared, "You still can't fix your arrogance."
"You're Soul Sages, but you think the Holy Spirit Sect doesn't have Soul Sages?"
"Do you know how dangerous Evil Soul Masters at Soul Sage level are?"
"One slip, and if ng gets hurt, I'll skin you alive."
Xiao Hongchen jumped. "Brother-in-law, isn't that a bit harsh?"
Su Yu snorted. "That's right. If ng gets hurt, don't bla for being rude."
Arrogance and carelessness were Xiao Hongchen's biggest flaws.
