As the top-tier penthouse of the Bright Moon Hotel, it comes with a private training ground, suitable for matches, contests, and training.
This is something other rooms can't even come close to.
Inside the Training Ground.
Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, eyes sweeping over the group of girls across from him.
"We've just entered the first round of knockout matches—there are still two more rounds to go."
"Only after passing these two rounds can we advance to the group stage."
"You've all watched the matches. At this point, none of the remaining teams are ordinary in any sense."
"With your strength, victory isn't hard, but getting a 1-vs-7 sweep is still a challenge."
"While there's still some time, I'll give you all some extra coaching and teach you a few things."
Wang Dong'er's eyes immediately lit up with curiosity. "What will you teach us?"
The other girls also looked over, curiosity in their eyes.
Su Yu smiled slightly. "Some of you have been curious about the soul skills I created myself. Today, I'll teach them to you."
Upon hearing this, Di Mingli perked up, and those who had seen Su Yu in action before showed happy expressions.
Only Nan Qiuqiu and Lan Fozi seemed a bit blank since they hadn't witnessed Su Yu's abilities before.
Su Yu glanced around, then fixed his gaze on Di Mingli.
"Mingli, step forward!"
Di Mingli took a few steps forward, standing opposite Su Yu.
"Mingli, your fighting style is bold and strong, your physique powerful—so you're suited to wide-range, forceful moves."
"I'll teach you the Tyrant Spear Art and the Elephant Formless Fist!"
"Tyrant Spear Art, Elephant Formless Fist?"
Di Mingli murmured. Su Yu lightly tapped his finger, and a stream of light entered Di Mingli's mind.
Di Mingli instantly felt new information appear in her mind—it was the cultivation methods for the Tyrant Spear Art and Elephant Formless Fist.
After his spiritual power reached the Spirit Domain level, Su Yu could transmit skills directly via soul force.
Of course, the techniques he taught were the ones best suited for Di Mingli.
The Tyrant Spear Art, needless to say, was a top skill Su Yu himself had practiced—a peak martial art combining strength and technique, perfect for someone as strong as Di Mingli.
As for the Elephant Formless Fist, it's also an extremely powerful and domineering martial art, though it comes from a wuxia world, its power is formidable.
With Di Mingli's already strong vitality and these martial arts, her strength would surely increase.
"Dong'er!"
After teaching Di Mingli, Su Yu called Wang Dong'er up.
Wang Dong'er eagerly stepped forward, smiling. "Xiao Su, what will you teach me?"
"Your martial soul is a bit special, so I'm not sure what to teach you—so I won't teach you anything."
Wang Dong'er: ??????
After just a second's hesitation, Wang Dong'er pounced, grabbing Su Yu's arm and shaking it pitifully.
"Nooo, teach me something, please~"
She started acting cute right in front of everyone, leaving Su Yu speechless.
Rolling his eyes, Su Yu relented, "So what do you want to learn?"
Truthfully, Su Yu wasn't sure what suited Wang Dong'er best.
"I'll learn whatever you teach me," she said, big eyes blinking, pretending to be obedient.
"Really? Then I'll just pick at random—how about Dragon Claw Hand?"
Wang Dong'er shook her head, "Don't want it!"
"How about the Frost Fist?"
Again, she shook her head. "I don't like punching people."
Su Yu: "..."
He grabbed her ear and gave it a gentle tug, making her yelp in pain.
"Ouch~ what are you doing!"
Su Yu said, both angry and amused: "What do you mean, what am I doing? You said you'd learn whatever I teach, but look at you!"
"Are you just messing with me?"
"Ouch, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Wang Dong'er quickly apologized, looking genuinely remorseful, even with a few sparkling tears in her pink-blue eyes.
Su Yu twitched—her acting skills were getting better and better.
And the worst part was, that he always fell for it. Even knowing she was faking, he couldn't help but soften.
Letting go of her ear, Su Yu said exasperatedly, "Just say what you want to learn, stop pretending in front of me."
Given her performance, he was sure she had something in mind.
Sure enough, Wang Dong'er smiled, dropped the act, and moved closer to Su Yu, beaming. "I want to learn that flying-around move of yours…"
Su Yu was stunned. "Flying around?"
"The one where you come and go without a trace, whoosh whoosh, like teleporting."
Su Yu thought for a moment. "You mean the Wind God Leg?"
Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. "Yes, that's the one! I want to learn that."
Su Yu pinched her cheek, amused. "You've wanted to learn it for a long time, huh?"
"Hehe."
Wang Dong'er giggled. "It's so cool!"
Su Yu had to agree with that—the Wind God Leg was indeed cool.
"Alright, I'll teach you the Wind God Leg, and I'll also show you the Sky Shaking Hammer technique. You silly girl, you probably don't even know any hammer techniques, do you?"
"Such a waste of your Clear Sky Hammer."
Wang Dong'er puffed out her cheeks in protest, but under Su Yu's gaze, she wilted.
After teaching Wang Dong'er, Su Yu called Jiang Nannan over.
"Sister Nannan, your Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul is suited to grappling and agility, so I'll teach you the Lingbo Microstep and the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand."
Over the years, Su Yu had learned quite a few martial arts.
Some he barely used, but now he could finally pass them on.
After all, everyone present was pretty much his people.
Jiang Nannan hesitated. "Xiao Yu, is it okay to teach us these things?"
Su Yu smiled. "These have nothing to do with the Ice God Palace—they're all my own. Don't worry."
Jiang Nannan relaxed and accepted the information Su Yu sent her.
"Lanlan, come over."
Su Yu called Lanlan.
Lanlan stepped up, blinking her big eyes with a cute, blank look.
"Big brother, what will you teach me?"
Su Yu gently ruffled her hair with a smile. "Big brother will teach you some beautiful, original soul skills. How about that?"
"Yes, yes!"
Lanlan clapped her hands, smiling.
Su Yu reached out and passed on "Heavenly Wind and Sea Rain" and "Shifting Flowers, Connecting Jade" to Lanlan.
Heavenly Wind and Sea Rain is a top-level light body technique while Shifting Flowers, Connecting Jade is known as the number one palm technique—redirecting attacks back at the opponent.
Lanlan is pure-hearted and kind, so these skills would help her protect herself.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Lanlan exclaimed, feeling the images move in her mind.
Then Su Yu taught Riding the Wind Across the Sea and Whale Breath Skill to Lan Fozi, both from the Wuxia Kunlun world.
The intent behind these techniques fits Lan Fozi very well.
He didn't forget Nan Qiuqiu and taught her the Destructive Claw and Transposing Space from the Nine Yin Manual.
The girls all began digesting and comprehending the martial arts Su Yu had taught them.
Su Yu stood with one hand behind his back, a smile on his lips.
These techniques, which he never needed, could become powerful tools for them.
Any one of these wouldn't lose to the so-called Tang Sect's secret arts—most were even far superior.
With these, when facing enemies, the girls would have more options besides relying solely on their martial souls.
As Su Yu watched them, he suddenly felt a chill.
Turning his head, he saw Xue Di staring at him coldly, expressionless.
Su Yu was stunned, then realized and smiled wryly. "Xue'er, you don't need to learn any, right?"
Xue Di already had the Three Ultimate Skills of the Snow Empress—what else did she need?
Xue Di's tone was cool and indifferent. "Whether I need them is my business. Whether you teach me or not is your problem."
Xue Di didn't care much about these martial arts, but she still felt uneasy.
Everyone else got something, but not her?
It's not about not having enough, it's about not being treated equally.
"Alright, alright, my fault."
What else could Su Yu say? He could only admit he was wrong.
He taught Xue Di the Frost Fist and the Flying Snow sword technique.
The former was one of the three ultimate skills, the latter created by the Snow-Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi.
Xue Di sensed them, her icy blue eyes narrowing. "Just… so-so."
Su Yu shook his head, smiling. Both techniques were quite good, but for Xue Di, they weren't very useful.
Xue Di had her methods, quite different from Wang Dong'er and Di Mingli.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu looked around and said softly, "Everyone, study these well. If you have any questions, just ask me."
After speaking, Su Yu's gaze landed on Xue Di. "Xue'er, want a drink?"
Xue Di shot him a glare, then stepped forward, grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him away.
Drinking was just an excuse—what they wanted to do, only they knew.
Xue Di's fierce glare melted into pure desire as she yanked Su Yu by his sleeve, their bodies already burning with need. The pretense of drinks forgotten, they stumbled into his rooms, hands frantically tearing at each other's clothes. Silk robes and undergarments scattered across the floor like autumn leaves in their wake.
"Gods, you're perfect," Su Yu breathed, drinking at the sight of her naked form sprawled across his bed. Her porcelain skin glowed in the candlelight, nipples hardened to rosy peaks that begged for his attention. A light blush colored her cheeks but she arched her back proudly, displaying herself for his hungry gaze.
Their lips crashed together in a desperate kiss, tongues dancing as Su Yu's hands roamed her curves. She tasted of sweet wine and desire. His fingers found her breasts, kneading the soft flesh as she gasped into his mouth. Her hardened nipples pressed against his palms while he traced patterns on her sensitive skin.
"Ahhhh... Su Yu..." she moaned as his mouth replaced his hands, tongue swirling around one peak while he pinched and rolled the other. Her fingers tangled in his hair, holding him close. The sweet flowery scent of her skin intoxicated him more than any wine.
His fingers slid lower, finding her already dripping with need.
"So wet for me," he groaned, sliding two digits into her silken heat. Her inner walls clenched around him as he pumped and curled his fingers. "Nnngh... please..." she whimpered, hips bucking.
Unable to wait any longer, Su Yu positioned himself between her spread thighs. His thick cock pressed against her entrance, already weeping with precum.
In one smooth thrust, he buried himself to the hilt, both crying out at the exquisite sensation.
"F-fuck... so tight... so hot..." he panted, feeling her pussy grip him like a velvet vice. Her walls rippled and squeezed around his length as he began to move.
"Yes! Right there!" she cried as he hit that special spot deep inside that made her see stars.
Su Yu set a punishing pace, driving into her with abandon. The wet sounds of their coupling mixed with their moans and gasps. Her breasts bounced with each powerful thrust as she met him eagerly. "Harder! Don't stop!" she begged, nails raking down his back.
Her inner muscles suddenly clamped down as she came with a scream of ecstasy, her whole body shuddering. Su Yu slowed to let her ride out the waves of pleasure before resuming his relentless pace. He worshipped every inch of her body with his hands and mouth as he drove them both toward release.
When he finally erupted inside her, filling her with his hot seed, she came again from the pulsing of his cock. They collapsed together in a sweaty, satisfied heap, trading lazy kisses as they caught their breath. But Su Yu was far from done - he had hours yet to thoroughly ravish his beloved Xue Di.
...
The All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament was still in full swing.
The Holy Slayer Palace had successfully passed the second knockout round and entered the third.
In the second round, Jiang Nannan competed. With her Soul Emperor level and the newly learned Lingbo Microstep and Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand, she managed to 1-vs-7 the opposing team.
To be fair, Jiang Nannan had some luck.
If the opponents hadn't been weak (only two Soul Kings), and if Su Yu hadn't taught her Lingbo Microstep in advance, it would have been much harder for her to achieve a 1-vs-7.
The biggest challenge in a 1-vs-7 isn't defeating all opponents, but the energy consumption.
Even someone as strong as Di Mingli would feel exhausted after such a fight, let alone Jiang Nannan.
However, Lingbo Microstep has a unique feature: it doesn't consume soul power to use, and can even replenish it.
That was Jiang Nannan's trump card for winning.
Today was Holy Slayer Palace's third knockout match.
This time, Wang Dong'er was competing.
Her opponents weren't weak, so it was a real challenge.
To be safe, Su Yu also sent Di Mingli, Lan Fozi, and Jiang Nannan to the arena.
However, Wang Dong'er's mission was to 1-vs-7—if Di Mingli and the others had to step in, she would have failed the mission.
This time, their opponent was the Beast Sect.
Though not famous, the team members were very strong: three Soul Kings and three Soul Ancestors, and, crucially, a captain at the Soul Emperor level.
Having a Soul Emperor said a lot about their team.
By now, Wang Dong'er had fought four matches, eliminating one Soul King and three Soul Elders.
As another Soul King stepped onto the stage, Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes narrowing.
"Begin!"
With the referee's order, the Beast Sect's Soul King unleashed his martial soul.
A crimson light erupted, a beastly roar sounded, and the young man's body rapidly transformed.
Red fur grew out, a thick mane formed around his neck, and his hands turned into sharp claws as his body grew taller.
A crimson lion's phantom appeared behind him—two yellow, two purple, and one black ring, the perfect five-ring combination, shone brilliantly.
Across from him, dazzling blue light rose up—Wang Dong'er's brilliant wings unfurled.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—six soul rings circled her, shining.
Wings spread, Wang Dong'er immediately soared into the air, golden blades of light raining down.
In the rest area:
Su Yu sat with his legs crossed, watching the match calmly.
Facing a power-attack soul master, Wang Dong'er was making full use of her flying advantage, employing a kiting strategy to slowly gain the upper hand.
If nothing unexpected happened, this Soul King would be exhausted to defeat.
"Using altitude to cut and wear down the enemy—this girl has learned to use her brain in a fight. Impressive," Xue Di commented, a bit surprised.
Su Yu chuckled. "She's never been stupid. After all this time training, she should have grown."
"Didn't you always call her a silly butterfly? How come she's not stupid now?" Xue Di teased.
Su Yu replied calmly, "Being silly and being stupid are different things.
She just doesn't understand schemes or tricks, is careless, and thinks slowly—but she's not hopelessly dumb."
Xue Di then asked, "Do you think she'll successfully finish her 1-vs-7?"
