Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

A few days later, Lu Yu quietly left Tiandou City with the help of a soul guide and embarked on a journey to the Xingluo Empire. This trip was not just for sightseeing, but under the guidance of a mysterious person, he went to find a treasure that could affect the fate of Douluo Continent. As for the identity of the mysterious person, Lu Yu had some guesses in his mind, but more details still needed to be revealed by him personally.

The Xingluo Empire, located in the eastern part of the Douluo Continent, echoes the Tiandou Empire. Although there are frictions between the two countries, they generally maintain a delicate balance. The culture of the Xingluo Empire is more martial, and the training system of soul masters is also unique. For soul masters like Lu Yu, it is undoubtedly a brand new world.

Along the way, Lu Yu crossed the vast grasslands, climbed over the mountains, experienced countless hardships and obstacles, and finally arrived at Longyue Town, a small border town of the Xingluo Empire. This is the only way to the capital of the Xingluo Empire, and it is also a popular place for soul masters to exchange and learn from each other.

In Longyue Town, in a hotel called "Fengyun Inn", Lu Yu was sitting by the window, sipping the local spiritual tea, looking through the window at the bustling crowd on the street. Here, the boundary between soul masters and ordinary people is not as clear as in Tiandou City. Soul masters are either in groups of three or five, or like lone rangers, freely shuttling between the streets, showing the unique soul master culture of Xingluo Empire.

"Have you heard? Recently, a ten thousand year old soul beast appeared in Longyue Mountain Range. Many soul masters are eager to hunt it and obtain its soul ring!"

"A ten thousand year old soul beast? That's no joke. If you don't have enough strength, you'll die if you go."

"That being said, that is a ten thousand year spirit ring. Once you get it, your strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds. I heard that even several talented spirit masters from Xingluo Royal Academy have set out for it."

In the inn, several soul masters were talking in low voices, and the topic naturally revolved around the ten thousand year soul beast. Lu Yu was moved when he heard this. The temptation of the ten thousand year soul ring was huge for any soul master, but he was more interested in the soul beast itself. Perhaps it had some secrets that were related to the purpose of his trip.

As night fell, Longyue Town gradually became quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the barking of dogs in the distance breaking the silence of the night. Lu Yu changed into his nightgown, quietly left the inn, and rushed towards the Longyue Mountains.

The Longyue Mountains, winding and undulating, are like a giant dragon lying across the eastern border of the Xingluo Empire. Deep in the mountains, clouds and mists linger, and rare and exotic animals roam, making it an excellent place for soul masters to practice and explore. With his keen perception and excellent body movements, Lu Yu shuttled through the dense jungle and soon approached the area where the ten thousand year soul beast was.

Suddenly, a deafening roar broke the tranquility of the night, and then a powerful soul power wave came from the front. Lu Yu's heart trembled, the ten thousand year soul beast was not far away.

Approaching cautiously, Lu Yu finally saw the true face of the soul beast - a huge flame lion king, covered with red scales, eyes like burning flames, emitting a frightening breath. Around it, there were several corpses of soul masters scattered around. Obviously, there were soul masters who had tried to challenge it before, but unfortunately failed.

Facing such a powerful opponent, Lu Yu was not in a hurry to attack. He quietly observed the Flame Lion King's every move, looking for its flaws. As time passed, the Flame Lion King seemed to have noticed Lu Yu's presence. It suddenly raised its head, locked its eyes on Lu Yu, and let out a deafening roar.

The battle is about to break out.

Lu Yu retreated violently, and at the same time released his martial soul - a long sword emitting a faint blue light. On the sword body, it seemed as if water was flowing slowly, revealing a gentle yet sharp aura. This was his family martial soul, the water-blue long sword. Although it was not a top-level martial soul, it exerted extraordinary power in Lu Yu's hands.

The Flame Lion King roared, and his body suddenly rose up, like a red lightning, and rushed straight towards Lu Yu. Lu Yu jumped up lightly, swung his sword, and a blue sword light cut through the night sky, colliding with the Flame Lion King's claws, making a deafening roar.

The battle quickly entered a white-hot stage. The power and speed of the Flame Lion King were extremely amazing, and each attack was enough to scare ordinary soul masters. But Lu Yu relied on his excellent body movements and superb sword skills to deal with the Flame Lion King. Gradually, he discovered a weakness of the Flame Lion King - every time it launched a fierce attack, there would always be a short breathing time.

The opportunity has come! Lu Yu's eyes condensed, and his figure suddenly accelerated. He appeared beside the Flame Lion King like a ghost, and his long sword burst into a dazzling light, and he killed the lion king with one sword!
The huge body of the Flame Lion King fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust. Lu Yu stood there, panting, with a gleam of victory in his eyes. Although this battle was difficult, he finally won.

Just as he was about to go forward to collect the spirit ring, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "What a wonderful swordsmanship, you really have a good way."

Lu Yu turned around suddenly and saw a young man in black with a stern face standing not far away, looking at him sharply. The soul power fluctuations emanating from this man were even stronger than the Flame Lion King just now!
"Who are you?" Lu Yu asked vigilantly.

"Lu Yu, you are very good!"

Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu with undisguised admiration in his tone.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Lu Yu bowed slightly with a calm expression.

"Lu Yu, your talent is the only one I have ever seen in my life. Even Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan are far inferior to you." Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu and continued.

"Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan?" Lu Yu was slightly stunned and a little surprised.

He didn't expect Xue Qinghe to compare him with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.

You know, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan are geniuses from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and the Green Phosphorus Snake King family, and their future achievements are absolutely limitless.

But he is only a level 30 great soul master now, and there is still a big gap compared with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.

"What? Are you surprised?" Xue Qinghe looked at the surprise on Lu Yu's face and smiled slightly, as if he had expected Lu Yu to react like this.

"It's indeed a bit unexpected." Lu Yu said truthfully.

"Haha, you don't have to underestimate yourself." Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu with encouragement in his eyes, "Your talent is definitely not worse than theirs, and may even be stronger."

"Moreover, you possess twin martial spirits, which is something that many people dream of."

"Twin martial souls?" Lu Yu's eyes focused, and he was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect Xue Qinghe to know his secret.

But soon, Lu Yu felt relieved.

After all, Xue Qinghe is the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, so it is not difficult to know his secrets.

"I won't tell anyone your secret." Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu, with a hint of solemnity in his tone, "I hope you can make good use of your talent and win glory for the Tiandou Empire."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Yu bowed slightly, secretly on guard in his heart.

He didn't believe that Xue Qinghe would be so kind as to suddenly come to him just to encourage him.

"Lu Yu, I want you to be the captain of Tiandou Royal Academy and participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition in two years." Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu with a hint of expectation in his tone.

"What?" Lu Yu's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Xue Qinghe would actually let him participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition as the captain of the Tiandou Royal Academy.

You know, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is one of the most grand soul master competitions on the Douluo Continent.

Every competition attracts countless soul master academies to participate.

These soul master academies gather the most talented soul masters in Douluo Continent.

With his current strength, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to lead Tiandou Royal Academy to achieve good results in the competition.

"What? You don't want to?" Xue Qinghe looked at the hesitation on Lu Yu's face and frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid my strength is not enough to serve as captain." Lu Yu looked at Xue Qinghe and said truthfully.

"Strength?" Xue Qinghe heard this and sneered, "Strength can be improved, but talent and potential are innate."

"I believe that with your talent and potential, you will definitely have enough strength to lead Tiandou Royal Academy to achieve good results in the competition in two years."

"But..." Lu Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xue Qinghe.

"Okay, it's settled." Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu, his tone full of unquestionable majesty, "Here is the token. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly."

As he spoke, Xue Qinghe took out a token from his arms and handed it to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu looked at the token in his hand, feeling a little hesitant.

He didn't know what Xue Qinghe's purpose was in doing this.

However, he could feel that Xue Qinghe had no ill will towards him.

Moreover, Xue Qinghe's status was there, and he couldn't refuse Xue Qinghe's kindness. "Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Yu bowed slightly and put the token away.

"Well, you go back first." Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu and nodded slightly, "Remember, you must get good results in the competition two years later."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Yu bowed again, then turned and left the room.

……

After Lu Yu left the room, he went straight back to his residence.

He sat on the bed, looking at the token in his hand, his thoughts surging.

He didn't expect that he would be chosen by Xue Qinghe as the captain of Tiandou Royal Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition two years later.

This is both an opportunity and a challenge for him.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the mission: Lead Tiandou Royal Academy to win the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

"Mission Reward: A random draw will increase the age of your spirit ring by 5,000 years."

Hearing the voice of the system, Lu Yu felt slightly happy.

He didn't expect that he would trigger the mission.

Moreover, the rewards for the mission are so generous.

A random draw, this is what he has always dreamed of.

As for the soul ring age increasing by five thousand years, it is also of great help to him now.

After all, he now has two thousand-year spirit rings and two hundred-year spirit rings.

If he could increase the age of his soul ring by another 5,000 years, his strength would definitely be greatly improved again.

"It seems that I have to work harder." Lu Yu clenched his fists, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

If you want to complete the task and get the reward, you must work hard.

What he lacks most now is time.

Only if there is enough time can he improve his strength.

"By the way, system, how many points do I have now?" Lu Yu suddenly thought of something and asked in his heart.

"Host's current points: 30,000." The system's voice sounded in Lu Yu's mind.

"Thirty thousand points?" Lu Yu was slightly surprised when he heard that.

He didn't expect that he had already accumulated 30,000 points.

You know, he had spent 20,000 points to exchange for two thousand-year soul rings.

And now, he has accumulated another 30,000 points.

"It seems that I have to think carefully about how to spend these points." Lu Yu looked at the system panel in the void and thought to himself.

He now has 30,000 points, which is enough to exchange for a lot of good things.

However, what he wanted to redeem required 100,000 points.

"Well, let's take it slow." Lu Yu sighed, feeling a little helpless.

It will take some time to redeem what you want.

During this period, he must work hard to improve his strength.

Only in this way can he achieve good results in the competition two years later.

……

In the following days, Lu Yu began to devote himself to cultivation wholeheartedly.

He would go to the academy's training ground every day to exchange ideas and ideas with the students there.

Among these students, there are some very powerful ones.

Lu Yu also benefited a lot from the exchanges with him.

His strength has also been greatly improved through constant competition.

In addition to studying and communicating, Lu Yu would also go to the academy's library to read various soul master books.

He wanted to learn more about soul masters and enrich his knowledge through these books.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

During these two months, Lu Yu's strength has also greatly improved.

His soul power level has increased from level 30 to level 32.

And his first martial soul also successfully attached a third soul ring, a thousand-year-old purple soul ring.

He obtained this spirit ring when he hunted down a thousand-year-old spirit beast during a training session.

"Finally reached level thirty-two." Lu Yu looked at the blue crystal ball in his hand, his eyes flashing with excitement.

With his current strength, he can even fight against some four-ring soul masters.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for improving his strength, triggering the lottery."

Hearing the voice of the system, Lu Yu was delighted.

He didn't expect that his improved strength would actually trigger a lottery.

"System, draw the lottery immediately." Lu Yu said in his heart without any hesitation.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the martial soul fusion skill: Netherworld White Tiger." (End of this chapter)
