"Chubby, do you know why I'm telling you all this?"
"Because I feel that you have your own thoughts.
You didn't refute me just now, which means you haven't been brainwashed.
You still have reason, able to see through all this."
Not Much Money didn't say internally shaken, but had to admit many facts Su Yu stated, Shrek indeed has some shortcomings...
"Shrek Academy is just a bunch of hypocrites waving the flag of 'for everyone's good' to protect their own interests."
Not Much Money actually wanted to refute, but Su Yu's hand slapped on his shoulder made him swallow his words.
"Chubby, I'm not asking you to betray Shrek Academy, I'm just helping you see the truth.
Shrek isn't the Shrek you have in mind, it's long since gone off track.
At this time, it needs you all to correct it more."
"You don't even need to change anything, no need for bloodshed or sacrifices, or to take action against the upper echelons of Shrek.
I just hope, as a truly qualified Shrek student, you can correctly view the relationship between the Sun and Moon Empire and the original Three Great Empires.
After all, the merged Douluo Continent is still the Douluo Continent.
The Sun and Moon Empire is also an empire concerning millions of livelihoods."
Not Much Money finally had a bit of wavering.
Yeah, I'm not betraying Shrek.
I'm just walking the path I believe is right.
Since I was little, I've heard the elders say Shrek is fair and just, absolutely neutral, so I have to achieve that.
"Chubby, don't think I'm deceiving you, or tempting you."
Su Yu felt it wasn't enough and continued adding fuel to the fire.
"With your experiences, your insights, I ask you, what's good about Shrek?
Are there any aspects in soul master cultivation where the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy doesn't compare?"
"Resources? Or cultivation experience? Or materials?"
"Or soul ring matching ability? Ask yourself honestly, is the soul ring matching guided by the academy? I think most are originally planned by the students themselves."
Not Much Money didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He recalled his nearly year-long experiences, compared the differences between Shrek and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, and fell silent.
"Although I haven't been to Shrek Academy, I've heard, that's the most traditional soul master teaching model. Traditional to the point of rigidity, lacking adaptability."
Not Much Money couldn't refute, the facts were indeed that way; Shrek Academy truly was like that.
Without experiencing the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy's cultivation, merely hearing about the different teaching methods, he might still refute, defend Shrek, insist Shrek's teaching is effective, and that these claims were just to tarnish Shrek.
But having truly cultivated in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, experienced it, Not Much Money genuinely couldn't refute.
"Tell me, without those exceptionally talented students, is Shrek still Shrek?"
Su Yu asked a death question.
"You don't have confidence either, do you?"
"Because you've seen it, in teaching models, Shrek is far behind, able to grow strong, only relying on a large number of exceptionally talented students."
Not Much Money listened to Su Yu as if reading his inner thoughts, his expression turned bitter.
Indeed.
It's not just in cultivation.
In terms of concepts from Shrek's teachings, he also discovered many errors and omissions.
In the learning life at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, he also gradually discovered the differences. Shrek's conceptually speaking, was like a group of ruffians.
"It's undeniable true top soul masters come from Shrek; although many exceptionally talented soul masters waste away within Shrek, those who stand out are indeed strong.
Take the holders of Extreme Martial Souls as an example; who have cultivated their Extreme Martial Souls to the level of Titled Douluo, even Super Douluo, or Extreme Douluo, these are only Shrek students!"
"But why is it that only Shrek can cultivate Extreme Attribute Martial Souls?"
"Because Shrek has the Tree of Gold!"
"The Tree of Gold, the core of the entire Douluo Continent!"
"Why does Shrek cultivate powerful individuals, is it because they're good at cultivating people?"
"No!"
"It's because they have the Tree of Gold."
"Given the same resources, the same geniuses, any academy might do better than Shrek."
Su Yu's analysis left Not Much Money speechless.
Possessing the best resources, yet not achieving the maximum.
"Merely occupying resources by force, fine. But how did Shrek obtain these conditions?"
Hypocrisy.
"This situation can be perfectly summarized with one word."
Su Yu paused, looked at Chubby Qian, and said.
"Virtue without position."
Not Much Money's back was completely drenched in cold sweat.
"Shrek has reached this point, without change, it's bound to perish!"
"Chubby, give it some thought."
Su Yu didn't continue speaking.
He had said enough.
Bam!
The dormitory door was kicked open.
Xiao Hongchen barged in.
"Is it you? Shrek's spy?"
He assessed Not Much Money, expressing doubt.
This little chubby was harmless, could he still be a spy?
But since Su Yu had already conveyed the message, he certainly was.
"Senior Xiao, just keep him locked up; Chubby Qian is a good comrade, don't abuse him."
Su Yu whispered in Xiao Hongchen's ear.
"Alright." Xiao Hongchen agreed.
Not Much Money was bewilderedly dragged away by Xiao Hongchen.
No!
You tell me all this, and at the end, I still get caught?
How am I supposed to report intel like this?
...
Su Yu didn't plan to completely bring Not Much Money over with one persuasion; he first gave Not Much Money a psychological hint.
Once he digested what was said today, Su Yu had a second segment.
"With connections to Qian Duoduo, there's always a chance to encounter Qian Duoduo."
What good is persuading a little chubby?
By the time he grows useful, Su Yu himself might already become a god.
The most important thing is to connect from the little chubby to the big chubby.
...
Su Yu finished the medicinal meal he hadn't consumed, then started cultivating.
Refining the soul power within the medicinal meal, he began attempting the Meditation Technique.
The Meditation Technique taught by Elder Yi, according to Su Yu, should be called the Sensing Technique.
Sensing the heavens, adjusting one's spiritual power accordingly, to better align with the heavens, nurturing the spirit through the heavens.
At present, Su Yu was attempting this Sensing Technique. (Cough cough, changing it to Sensing Technique to avoid confusion)
Empty his mind, sense the primordial energy in the heavens.
"Feel the fluctuation of primordial energy."
Su Yu's spiritual power had reached a high level, easily achieving the first step.
"The next is meditation, integrating oneself with the heavens."
Following Elder Yi's teachings, Su Yu began to meditate.
The Sea of Spirit rolled violently.
Su Yu's spiritual structure began to change.
The entire spiritual space turned upside down.
Two runes burst forth with a purple aura, enveloping the Sea of Spirit, stabilizing it.
