Chapter 44: You don't want outsiders to know your identity, do you?
The leave of absence application was sent to the academic advisor, and Su Yuan didn't continue paying attention.
Because Su Yuan clearly understood that this leave of absence application would definitely be approved.
First, the academic advisor would agree and sign, then it would be sent to the academic affairs office the next day. The academic affairs office leadership would also sign after reading it, and that same afternoon the department leadership would see this leave of absence application and sign after reading it.
Finally, after four days, the leave of absence application would reach the principal's office and be formally approved.
Su Yuan learned about the development process of the above events from the gray mirror's answers - it was a predetermined future.
Unless Su Yuan actively intervened to change it, there would be no unexpected variables.
"It's over."
Su Yuan's thoughts were calm, without any ripples.
So far, everything that had happened was within his plans, including the leave of absence application proceeding step by step according to plan at the right time, ultimately achieving the future Su Yuan wanted.
"Next, it's time to plan for the Southern Ocean nations..."Su Yuan thought to himself.
South of Xia Country was an extremely chaotic region, where small countries stood like forests, warlords carved up territories, and political power was extremely unstable.
Therefore, it was also called the Southern Ocean nations.
Su Yuan's plan for the Southern Ocean nations was aimed at 'Luwu Black Gold'.
This metal was one of the more common metals in the universe, and also one of the raw materials Su Yuan needed to manufacture the technological weapon 'High-Energy Laser'.
'High-Energy Laser' belonged to offensive technological weapons, prepared by Su Yuan specifically for the interstellar colonization ship that would arrive in five years.
As for Luwu Black Gold, one of the raw materials for manufacturing 'High-Energy Laser', currently only the deep underground of the Southern Ocean nations had considerable reserves globally.
Therefore, planning for the Southern Ocean nations was included as part of Su Yuan's plan.
......
Regarding how to plan for the Southern Ocean nations, the gray mirror had long provided detailed steps.
The entry point was 'Aromu'.
Aromu was a greatly renowned grand sorcerer in the Southern Ocean nations, that is, a Level 1 lifeform comparable to an Embracing Elixir Grandmaster.
The sorcery cultivation system was famous for its bizarre sorcery spells and curse witchcraft, extremely cruel and ancient. When cultivated to the grand sorcerer realm, a single gaze was enough to curse a Hidden Force expert, causing them to lose all strength.
Of course, in Su Yuan's eyes, the mysterious ancient grand sorcerer still belonged to the one-dimensional cultivation system, focusing only on the soul dimension, similar to Fusang's Yin-Yang Masters, and couldn't compare to Xia Country's national martial arts cultivation system.
The so-called sorcery spells and curse witchcraft were essentially derivative applications of soul power.
But it had to be said that a grand sorcerer's methods were enough to make an Embracing Elixir Grandmaster not dare to underestimate them.
Back when Aromu dominated the Southern Ocean nations, his sorcery spells were invincible, with extremely far-reaching influence.
But thirty years ago, he was severely injured by his great enemy 'Kunlong', and since then had disappeared without a trace, never appearing again.
However, Su Yuan clearly knew that Aromu wasn't dead, but was barely surviving while hiding in Magic City.
That battle thirty years ago caused irreversible injuries to Aromu, and his sorcery spells had nearly fallen from the grand sorcerer realm.
Su Yuan previously learned through the gray mirror that Magic City had a total of six Level 1 lifeforms, with two hiding in the shadows unknown to others, including this grand sorcerer.
"Aromu..."
Su Yuan fell into brief contemplation.
As long as he could control this grand sorcerer, his plan for the Southern Ocean nations would be almost half successful.
After all, Aromu originally belonged to the Southern Ocean nations. Having him appear to work for Su Yuan and mine the underground Luwu Black Gold would be completely effortless, with no one daring to stop it.
"It's time to meet this grand sorcerer."
Su Yuan collected his thoughts and stood up to leave the basement.
......
Going alone to meet this grand sorcerer who once shook the Southern Ocean nations, Su Yuan naturally had absolute confidence.
First, Aromu's current condition was extremely poor, with injuries from that great battle thirty years ago still affecting him today.
Second, even if Aromu had recovered to peak condition now, he would still be far from Su Yuan's match.
Currently, Su Yuan had already cultivated at the Level 1 lifeform stage for a month, with strength that surpassed even a grandmaster at the perfect Embracing Elixir stage. Aromu's sorcery spells couldn't even get close to him before being dispersed by his vast vital energy.
Of course, most importantly, Su Yuan had long learned Aromu's weaknesses and soft spots from the gray mirror, and had formulated corresponding plans based on these weaknesses.
Dealing with and controlling Aromu didn't require any fighting at all.
......
After leaving Jinshan Villa District and arriving at a remote, deserted street, Su Yuan's appearance and form began to change.
This was also something Su Yuan always did before meeting outsiders - hiding his true appearance.
So far, Su Yuan had only chatted and interacted with Professor Qin using his real appearance.
And Professor Qin was currently far across the ocean and wouldn't return to the country for two years.
Under these circumstances, even if someone knew Su Yuan's true appearance, it wouldn't matter.
Two years later? According to Su Yuan's cultivation speed, two years later he would probably be a Level 5 or Level 6 lifeform, indisputably the strongest lifeform on Blue Star.
......
Forty minutes later.
Su Yuan came to a food street and entered a shop called 'Chiang Mai Cuisine'.
The owner of this shop was a hunchbacked man. Since it was currently afternoon with few people, this 'Chiang Mai Cuisine' shop had no customers, only the hunchbacked shop owner sitting there dozing off.
Su Yuan's entry immediately caught the hunchbacked man's attention.
"What would you like to eat?" The hunchbacked man immediately came forward to serve.
Su Yuan didn't speak, just walked around the shop for a while.
His entry timing was also part of the plan - at this time the entire food street didn't have many people, so there wouldn't be customers coming in later.
Su Yuan's silence immediately alerted the hunchbacked man, who began examining Su Yuan closely.
However.
Before the hunchbacked man could discern anything.
Su Yuan chuckled lightly: "I never expected that 'Aromu', who once dominated the Southern Ocean nations, would be reduced to such a state now."
As these words came out.
The hunchbacked man's pupils contracted sharply, and in an instant an invisible force centered around him enveloped the entire shop.
If there were other customers present at this moment, they would feel chest tightness and suffocation, then faint and collapse to the ground.
The hunchbacked man examined Su Yuan gravely, the invisible forces around him seeming to boil.
The next moment.
The hunchbacked man immediately wanted to retreat and escape rapidly.
What kind of joke was this? He had lived incognito in Magic City for thirty years with no one discovering his identity, and now someone came up and called out his real name, clearly knowing him extremely well.
Under these circumstances, how would the hunchbacked man dare to take initiative to attack?
However.
Just before the hunchbacked man could retreat and escape.
As if predicting this behavior of his, Su Yuan spoke again: "I suggest you don't run."
"After all..."
Su Yuan glanced at the hunchbacked man, "You wouldn't want your identity to be known by outsiders, would you?"
