Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 253 Stealing Mission, Refusing Individual Training

"Aren't you more interested in soul guide technology?"

"The level of soul guidance technology in the Sun-Moon Empire is much higher than that of the Three Kingdoms of Douluo, and is also much more powerful than the soul guidance department of our academy."

"You will be able to learn better there, which will be beneficial to your study of soul guides."

"Then the teacher has a task for you. You are the best candidate for this task, or even indispensable," Moon said slowly.
"What mission?" Shi Yu asked.
"The Sun-Moon Empire is a huge threat to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. The reason is that their soul guide technology is ahead of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms."

"Although the original Douluo Three Kingdoms tried their best to catch up, they still couldn't catch up."

"We want to learn from the soul guide technology of the Sun-Moon Empire, but they have a strict blockade over the relevant technology and soul guides, so it's difficult for us to get them."

"So, the teacher wants you to go there and try to steal some important soul guides. If you can get the blueprints of the soul guides directly, that would be even better," Moon said.
"That's probably not going to be easy. Those important soul guides, including the blueprints, are definitely kept under strict surveillance by the Sun-Moon Empire. How can I just steal them?" Shi Yu frowned. This was a very risky matter.
Most of the items worth stealing were those of the eighth or ninth level soul guides. Needless to say, these soul guides were strictly guarded, and they might even involve Titled Douluo, so the high risk was self-evident.
"You have unique abilities. This is something that most people would find difficult to accomplish, but I believe you can do it."

"There are still two years until the exchange. During this time, we will provide you with relevant training. By then, your soul power will be further improved, and the possibility of success is still very high," said Moon En.
"The second thing I want to tell you is that I will give you two years of special training."

"The academy has decided to focus on training you as an ultimate individual soldier. We will invest no resources to help you improve and become stronger, so that you can have the combat capabilities comparable to an army by yourself."

Yan Shaozhe then gave Shi Yu a detailed introduction to the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan.
"This..." Shi Yu hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.
"Just say what you want to say," Moon said in a gentle tone.
"I have no problem going to the Sun Moon Empire as an exchange student. I can go."

"But I can't guarantee that I can steal soul guides, blueprints, etc. If I think I can steal them, then I can go and steal them."

"But if the risk is too great and I can't do it, I can only be an exchange student."

"As for the extreme individual soldier, I don't think I'm suitable. The academy should find someone else," Shi Yu said.
Yan Shaozhe frowned, and Moon En was also surprised by Shi Yu's decision.
"The Extreme Individual Soldier Program can train you to become a truly powerful and versatile warrior, and it also involves the investment of substantial academy resources. Why would you refuse?" Yan Shaozhe asked, puzzled.
Moon also looked at Shi Yu in confusion, waiting for his answer.
"There's no particular reason. I simply feel I might not be suited to extreme individual soldier training," Shi Yu explained.
He remembered that the training for the Extreme Individual Combat Plan included some rather abstract items.
He can't stand eating disgusting food or anything raw.
Although this would help him survive in the wild if he were ever in trouble, he was still reluctant to adapt.
Instead of thinking about how to adapt to survive in difficult situations, it is better to think about how to improve yourself faster so that you will not fall into such difficult situations.
Furthermore, the purpose of this extreme individual combat program is to train a future super soldier who can dominate the battlefield.
He didn't really want to get involved in any war. His only trouble might come from Tang San, who was only thinking about becoming a god. He would let someone else be a super soldier.
He would rather use this time to practice and hone himself in battle with stronger spirit masters, rather than training himself on how to disguise himself or survive in the wild.
"How do you know you're not suitable if you haven't even tried it?" Yan Shaozhe said with a hint of displeasure.
"Brother, teacher, please find someone else to be the candidate for this extreme individual combat plan. I am not suitable for it, and I don't want to." Shi Yu's attitude was quite clear.
Yan Shaozhe and Moon En exchanged a glance, both feeling it was a pity. Shi Yu was definitely the best candidate, and after training, he would definitely become the most perfect warrior.
"Think about it again," Yan Shaozhe said, trying to persuade Shi Yu to change his mind.
"Brother, I really don't want to." Shi Yu still shook his head.
"Since you don't want to, then let's put this matter aside for now. However, you should receive some theft training, which will help you steal the soul guides and blueprints later."

"This matter is indeed very risky for you, but in order to prevent the original Douluo Three Kingdoms from being further left behind by the Sun-Moon Empire, the teacher still hopes that you can do your best." "Mu Endao.
Shi Yu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's quite troublesome for the academy to find a spirit ring for me. I am also protected by the academy, so I should do something for the academy."

"But I still say the same thing, I can only say that I will do my best, I can't guarantee anything."

He remembered the kindness the academy had shown him, and would naturally repay it if he could.
He didn't want to be completely tied to Shrek Academy, but he also didn't want to be so selfless as to take without giving back.
"Yeah," Moon nodded, and said a few more words to Shi Yu before letting him leave.
"Junior brother, your sense of belonging to the academy isn't very strong yet," Yan Shaozhe said to Mu En.
He understood that the other party's refusal to become a candidate for the ultimate individual soldier training was actually because he didn't want to be deeply bound to the academy.
"Let's take it slow. I hope he can choose to stay in school and continue his career," Moon sighed.
Although Shi Yu was his disciple, he couldn't force him to do anything.
If he doesn't want to stay in school after graduation, there's nothing he can do.
Shrek is an academy, not a sect. Joining does not mean that the other party will become a member of Shrek Academy in the future.
Judging from Shi Yu's behavior, it's more likely that he will leave the academy for future development.
Shi Yu was not in a good mood after leaving the Sea God Pavilion. He refused this extreme solo combat plan and didn't know what his teacher and senior brothers would think of him.
"Whatever, I'll just find a way to pay off what I owe the academy," Shi Yu thought to himself, trying not to think too much about it.
His attitude towards Shrek Academy has always been clear: it is just an academy.
When you leave after graduation, you will remember the good things about the school, but it is impossible to say that you have devoted yourself to the college.
