Chapter 505: Chapter 392: The Sorrow of Evolving Humanity (6th update) _2

Su Yu summoned them, asked them casually, and learned that their parents were all new humans from inside Black Iron City, previously engaged in the most laborious work. However, because they were chosen to serve him in the palace, the treatment of their parents would also improve. Upon hearing this, the four girls knelt down in fear, afraid that if Su Yu did not accept them, their families would return to their previous circumstances.

Su Yu sighed. He did not actually want any female servants attending to him, but seeing the tearful faces of the four girls kneeling on the ground, he couldn’t refuse. He allowed them to stay, but he still attended to many things himself, such as bathing and changing clothes. He was indeed finding it hard to adapt to being served by others.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of Black Iron City, he summoned Jin Fuhua and asked for his opinion. Su Yu intended to appoint Jin Fuhua as the new third deputy city lord, but if Jin Fuhua wanted to return to Peach Blossom Town, he would, of course, respect his decision.

Su Yu’s appointment of Jin Fuhua as the third deputy city lord was due to the current powers residing in Black Iron City, mainly belonging to Ouyang Nuo and Jiang Hai. Despite his own strength, he didn’t have anyone who truly belonged to him. Although he planned to summon the people of Freedom Village, it would ultimately be difficult to resist the existing forces. His intention was for Jin Fuhua to stay and counter the influence of Ouyang Nuo and Jiang Hai.

After understanding Su Yu’s intention, Jin Fuhua considered it for a while and readily agreed.

Although he could be the leader of Peach Blossom Town by staying, Jin Fuhua was tired of the stagnation of the place. With broader horizons, Jin Fuhua increasingly realized the importance of climbing up the hierarchy. In comparison to Ouyang Nuo and Jiang Hai, Jin Fuhua understood that while he may only be the third deputy city lord now, Su Yu would surely place his trust in him.

After Jin Fuhua agreed to take up the position of third deputy city lord, Su Yu was overjoyed. He summoned the couple Cai Hanbin and handed over the administration of Peach Blossom Town to them. The couple was surprised and delighted, never having expected things to take such a turn. In a blink of an eye, they became the leaders of Peach Blossom Town. Naturally, they were immensely grateful to Su Yu.

With the decision to stay, Jin Fuhua moved all his forces from Peach Blossom Town to the residence of the third deputy city lord in Black Iron City. The forces he brought included two sixth-order powerhouses, Wang Yiping and Yang Shenghua, dozens of level 5 fighters, and nearly 500 level 4 fighters. His Iron Eagle had reached stage five and could form a symbiotic contract with 500 people. All these people owned a symbiotic contract with his Category 5 Lifeform.

On the third day after Su Yu took over Black Iron City, he left the city and personally went to Freedom Village. He wanted to move Freedom Village to Black Iron City. The people in Freedom Village were his true loyal forces.

Su Yu’s return to Freedom Village, leading a group of black-clothed knights, caused a stir. As for the move to Black Iron City, Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui, and the others naturally had no objections. To them, there was no significant difference between Freedom Village and Black Iron City.

This time upon returning, Su Yu finally saw Meng Ting again. After not seeing her for many days, Meng Ting’s spirit had greatly improved. She looked much healthier compared to before. Upon seeing Su Yu, her expression was calm. Su Yu noticed that Meng Ting was at the peak of Level 5. Perhaps in not too much more time, Meng Ting would make another breakthrough.

Upon learning about Su Yu’s decision to relocate to Black Iron City, Meng Ting made a decision that was somewhat startling yet also anticipated. She wanted to stay behind.

Su Yu was not taken aback by Meng Ting’s decision. He had foreseen it from the beginning. After taking a long look at Meng Ting, he left a lot of resources in the Freedom Village for her, and then led his group of nearly 500 people, leaving Freedom Village and relocating to Black Iron City.

With the instantaneous loss of 500 people, Freedom Village reverted to its former state, with only Meng Ting’s faction and over a hundred people who had contracts with her staying behind. However, Meng Ting was full of confidence in Freedom Village. Her Dragon Kid had finally made a breakthrough, reaching stage four of growth, and she could now make contracts with up to 200 people. Meng Ting believed that with their efforts, they would soon be able to restore Freedom Village to its former strength.

With the relocation of Su Yu’s 500 followers to Black Iron City, in addition to Jin Fuhua’s 500 people and the over 1,000 forces original to Ouyang Nuo and Jiang Hai, the number of combatants in Black Iron City rose to nearly 3,000.

In the days that followed, Su Yu placed his people in all the crucial departments, especially the financial and intelligence sectors that he valued the most. Su Yu knew he didn’t have much management capacity, so he handed over complete authority of "Black Iron City" to Jin Fuhua, Qin Jiagui and others to manage. He asked them to coordinate with Ouyang Nuo, Jiang Hai and the "Top Ten Envoys" on specific affairs.

However, Su Yu soon discovered that Ouyang Nuo, just like himself, was devoted to improving personal strength and was not interested in power.

Although Ouyang Nuo was the first deputy city lord of Black Iron City in line, he did barely anything, as long as he could eat and drink every day. Moreover, he stayed in "Black Iron City" only for two days before disappearing. He came back again seven days later, but he returned sighing and looking depressed.

Before Su Yu could grasp what had happened, Jiang Hai laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Ouyang, what’s wrong, did you lose to someone again?"

Observing the puzzled expression on Su Yu’s face, Jiang Hai explained, "Ouyang likes to go to different cities and challenge others. However, he loses seven or eight times out of ten and comes back looking like this whenever he loses."

Only then did Su Yu understand and, surprised, commented, "But Brother Ouyang’s Golden Bone Fire has reached the perfect stage, he’s at least a Level 7 peak powerhouse, who could possibly beat him? How is it possible for him to lose seven or eight times out of ten?"

Jiang Hai smiled and said, "Because he always likes to challenge those whose reputation and strength are stronger than his own. He doesn’t bother with those who are on par with or weaker than him. So, isn’t it only natural that he would lose more than win?"

Su Yu chuckled, but silently admired Ouyang Nuo. He knew that someone like Ouyang Nuo had limitless potential.

Jiang Hai sighed, "Ouyang wants to make another breakthrough. Unfortunately... Level 7 is practically our limit. To break through again... is too hard."

Su Yu understood Jiang Hai’s meaning. Before reaching the seventh level, there are several "doors" in one’s body. Everyone knows that to break through, you have to break these "doors". But once you’ve reached the seventh level, you’ve entered the perfect realm, and there are no more "doors" in the body. Everyone knows that level 7 is not the end, but even though they know, they can’t move forward. It’s like a person has walked to the end of a long road, which may be an endless sea or a cliff. Everyone knows that they haven’t reached the end of the world, that they can still move forward, but they can’t find any tool or method to cross the sea or climb the cliff.

And this is the predicament faced by seventh stage experts.

Ouyang Nuo, Jiang Hai, all faced this predicament, and Su Yu was no exception.

Inspired by Ouyang Nuo’s constant challenge to stronger forces in hopes of breaking through, Su Yu started a retreat. He secluded himself in the palace, even chasing away his four maids - Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter and ordered them to ensure that no one was allowed to disturb him. Then, Su Yu began his seclusion for another breakthrough.

If Su Yu relied solely on his "Lizard Beast Transformation" in addition to various skills, his strength would be around the "Seventh Order Junior" level. Adding on the power of thunder and golden blood, Su Yu estimated that he could enhance his strength to somewhere between the mid and high stages of the seventh level. If he invoked the power of "Dark Heart", he would potentially reach the peak of the seventh level. But to breakthrough, he would need to surpass the peak of the seventh level.

Surpass the peak... All at once, Su Yu realized the path he must take. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com. There are more Chapters, support the author, support official reading!)
