The last day of the elimination rounds is also the first day of the round-robin tournament. Su Yu, using his deductions on the draw results, began his exploration of the Power of Destiny.
"Besides the draw results, I can also deduce others' Soul Power."
Su Yu deduced Long Aotian's Soul Power.
After five consecutive attempts, he determined the Soul Power as Level 73 three times, Level 72 once, and Level 71 once.
"It's most likely Level 73. However, as a Soul Saint, the difference isn't significant."
For his estimation of Long Aotian, he categorized his strength at the Soul Saint tier, using a conservative approach with a slight upward estimation. This was Su Yu's overall assessment of him.
Su Yu also deduced the Soul Power levels of the other members of the Essence Sect and obtained rough results.
Subsequently, he started deducing the members of other teams.
Not just anyone could be easily deduced successfully.
"Clearly just a Soul King Level Soul Power fluctuation, yet unable to deduce the specific Soul Power Level?"
Su Yu opened his eyes, looking at the captain of an ordinary Advanced Academy, falling into contemplation.
"So, I need to have a destiny-related connection for it to possibly succeed in deduction?
Or rather, it's information I might be able to obtain effortlessly in the future, so I can deduce it?"
If that's the case, can the risk of Cultivation techniques not be preemptively avoided using this method?
"No."
"Deduction and destiny itself are not separate concepts. Deduction itself is an application of the Power of Destiny."
Gazing at the rune in the Sea of Spirit, which almost accounted for seventy percent but now reflects, Su Yu realized that his understanding may have been flawed.
Perhaps destiny is not predetermined, but it is a power intertwined with all beings.
"Destiny exists."
Su Yu's insights seemed contradictory, yet not truly contradictory. Destiny doesn't have a fixed path, but it undeniably exists. Several people may be interlinked, having a tendency towards future encounters or confrontations, which is highly unlikely to change.
Or rather, it can be changed, but their destinies are certainly interconnected...
"If I have to say it, it should be cause and effect."
There's cause and effect between Long Aotian and me. Perhaps in the upcoming matches, we're destined to meet, so I can use this correlation to deduce his Soul Power Level.
And that Soul King captain may soon be eliminated.
...
Su Yu corrected his understanding, supplementing the concept of cause and effect, and the use of the Power of Destiny indeed became more proficient. The "destiny" rune in the Sea of Spirit expanded and grew once more, and the structure dominated by "reflection" was modified, now occupying about forty percent of the whole.
...
Exploring the use of the Power of Destiny is quite mentally exhausting. Even though Su Yu borrowed a method akin to absorbing Soul Rings through Martial Soul to fortify himself from the source, consolidating a Qi Blood Soul Ring through the Refinement of Bloodline Power, gaining the means to wield the Power of Destiny, he also found tapping into this high-level power quite consuming.
Even the origin of Bloodline Power, the Emperor's Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, mastered the Power of Destiny slowly, with assistance from the Silver Dragon King.
...
Having worked hard all day, Su Yu returned to Mingde Hall. Without a moment's rest, he had to attend the underground Soul Guide tournament.
"There are plenty of resources in the Soul Guide tournament, and there's also Ye Yulin's Sun Divine Needle as a prize. It would be a waste not to take advantage."
Su Yu also needed to find ways to accumulate some assets for himself.
He himself wasn't lacking, as a substantial amount of resources handed over to Kong Deming and Mirror Hongchen wouldn't be exhausted in such a short time. In the long run, Su Yu wouldn't face resource shortages in terms of Soul-guiding Devices.
Importantly, Huo Yuhao was also beginning to grow. I estimate after this tournament, Huo Yuhao, who enlisted in the army, would have his own experiences, and whatever valuable items this child of destiny brings back, Su Yu would certainly get his share.
Therefore, Su Yu himself wasn't lacking in resources.
However, his disciple was.
After all, he had accepted Bai Feng as a disciple, and naturally, he wanted to teach well. An Innate Full Soul Power talented Soul Master, whose Martial Soul brings a Demon Slaying Realm, Su Yu had high expectations for him and intended to seriously cultivate him.
"The Rakshasa God perished on the Douluo Plane, and even if the divine position hasn't crumbled, it has suffered severely. The laws involved caused the Evil Soul Masters on the Douluo Plane to run rampant. To alleviate this situation, either consolidate these laws and create a new Rakshasa God or conjure a new deity to govern these specific laws. Xiaofeng is quite suited for this role."
The Demon-Slaying God.
This could also be a divine position with significant potential.
"And the Angel Race should have one bloodline left. Finding her could make Xiaofeng's growth smoother with her assistance."
...
Sun and Moon Royal Hotel.
Room 404.
"Elder Xuan, your injuries are more serious than expected."
Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er looked troubled. She had already employed nearly all her methods, yet saw little effect in treating Xuanzi.
It wasn't that there was no effect at all, but the soul injury in Xuanzi seemed to involve some profound level of trauma.
Given that this was Mingdu, she also needed to conceal her identity. Even though Yan Shaozhe appeared openly during the day, she could not act as blatantly as he did.
