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

Although support-type Soul Masters aren't particularly strong individually, their overall buff to the team is crucial. Taking them out disrupts the enemy's formation.

Oscar raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, swallowed the sausage, and waved his hand in rebuttal: "Huang Yuan, there's something wrong with your thinking."

"You're a powerful offensive Soul Master, isn't it a waste to leave you on the flank as a support? In my opinion, you should lead the attack from the front, leave one person to protect Rongrong, and divide the rest into two groups, one to hold off the enemy and the other to launch a surprise attack. That would be much more effective."

He looked at Lu Yu and added, "Huang Yuan's role is a bit awkward. It's a waste of his talents to have a strong offensive Soul Master as a support."

Huang Yuan glared at Oscar defiantly and argued, "What's wrong with being a support? Supports are also a core part of the tactics! Besides, I was just considering the overall situation, wasn't I?"

The two argued back and forth, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Ning Rongrong stood to the side, covering her mouth and chuckling, finding it quite amusing that the two of them were arguing.

Xiao Wu crossed her arms, pouted, and muttered, "You two stop arguing. Just listen to Lu Yu; he always has a way."

As Lu Yu listened to the argument, his brows furrowed even more.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I've heard all your opinions, but we still need to think about this matter some more."

"You all go back and cultivate first, I'm going to the backyard for some fresh air."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the backyard, his steps slightly heavy.

A night breeze swept by, causing the shadows of the trees in the courtyard to sway and rustle.

Lu Yu stood alone under an old tree in the backyard, looking up at the night sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

The importance of tomorrow's competition is self-evident. Although Shrek Academy has a deep foundation, their team is only temporarily formed and their coordination is still somewhat unfamiliar.

In contrast, the opposing team not only had strong individual players, but their teamwork was also seamless.

He couldn't help but think that with the full support of Shrek Academy, their cultivation speed would definitely reach a new level.

However, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and others are also rapidly improving their strength. If they don't widen the gap as soon as possible, they may find themselves in a passive position.

Especially Tang San, whom Lu Yu regarded as the "Son of the World".

The presence of him always made Lu Yu feel a strange pressure.

He recalled how Meng Yiran appeared after he stole Xiao Wu's luck, and how the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny valued him; all of this seemed to subtly confirm Tang San's "protagonist halo."

.

"The world's fortunes are indeed still in his favor."

Lu Yu muttered to himself, a complex light flashing in his eyes, "But I refuse to believe that I can't break through the limitations of this world with my own strength! I will become the true protagonist!"

Amidst a surge of emotions, Lu Yu took a deep breath, and with a thought, entered the system space.

The space is filled with the interplay of light and shadow, resembling a dreamlike sea of ​​stars.

He skillfully opened the shop interface, his eyes scanning the dazzling array of items: Soul Power Potions, Skill Experience Cards, Lucky Treasure Chests... each one tempted him.

He opened his personal page and checked his information: Name: Lu Yu; Title: "Beginner Soul Fighter"

Martial Soul "Azure Sky Sword"

The soul rings are configured as yellow-yellow-purple-purple, and the skills include sword qi slash, swift wind step, Jeet Kune Do, etc. The inventory only contains a few daily necessities, and the soul coin balance is pitifully small, with only a little over a thousand points left.

He frowned, recalling how the previous incident had caused a decrease in the rate of obtaining Soul Coins, making it increasingly difficult to earn them now.

"The methods of later generations..."

Lu Yu muttered to himself, some vague ideas flashing through his mind, such as using information asymmetry to gain resources, or accumulating wealth through certain business means.

But right now, what he urgently needs is to improve his strength.

His gaze fell on the lucky treasure chests, he gritted his teeth, and said to the artificial intelligence, "Buy four lucky treasure chests and open them to see."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system interface flashed with light, and four treasure chests appeared in front of him one after another.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and was about to open it when he heard soft footsteps behind him.

He turned his head and saw Zhu Zhuqing walking over. The moonlight shone on her cool face, revealing a touch of gentleness.

She sat down gently, her skirt swaying slightly in the night breeze, and asked with concern, "Lu Yu, are you still worried about tomorrow's competition?"

Looking into her bright eyes, Lu Yu felt his irritation inexplicably dissipate.

He chuckled and joked, "Seeing you makes my headache disappear."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and scolded, "You're so glib!"

She gently patted Lu Yu's arm, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Lu Yu shrugged helplessly, then took her hand in his. The warmth of her palm warmed his heart, and he said in a low voice, "It's nothing really, I just feel a bit of pressure."

I need to think about tomorrow's plans more.

Zhu Zhuqing did not pull her hand away, but looked at him quietly and said softly, "You have done very well, we all believe in you."

Her words were gentle yet firm, like a warm light in the night breeze.

Lu Yu's heart stirred slightly. He smiled and pinched her cheek, half-jokingly saying, "With you saying that, I'm determined to win a great battle tomorrow."

He turned to look at the system interface, tapped his finger, and the four lucky treasure chests opened one after another.

As the light faded, Lu Yu looked closely and saw that his inventory had several new items: a pack of tissues, 500,000 Soul Coins, 1,000 RMB, and a bright red apple.

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cried at the same time: "What kind of nonsense is this?"

However, the gain of 500,000 soul coins cheered him up.

He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, and a thought flashed through his mind: her aristocratic family background might affect the rewards from the treasure chest.

Could it be that contacting certain characters can increase the probability of getting good items? This thought made his eyes light up, and he felt that he had grasped a little trick of the system.

Zhu Zhuqing saw his expression change, his cheeks becoming increasingly flushed, and his eyes filled with tenderness.

Lu Yu noticed her change, smiled and pinched her cheek, and whispered, "Don't worry, I already have a general idea."

You'll find out when you get to the stadium tomorrow.

He pulled Zhu Zhuqing up and walked into the house, but in his mind he was already planning how to make use of this newly discovered technique.

Back inside, Lu Yu's gaze swept over the group of people who were cultivating, finally settling on Xiao Wu.

He walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, come with me to the backyard, let's continue our competition from last time."

Xiao Wu was taken aback, looked up at him, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but still got up and followed him.

Upon arriving in the backyard, the night deepened, and moonlight spilled onto the bluestone ground, creating a soft halo.

Lu Yu stopped, turned to look at Xiao Wu, and said seriously, "Use the Jeet Kune Do I taught you to attack me, and try to last a hundred moves against me."

Xiao Wu blinked, somewhat puzzled, but seeing Lu Yu's determined expression, she nodded, assumed a fighting stance, let out a delicate shout, and launched a fierce punch at him.

Lu Yu smiled slightly, his figure swaying as he easily dodged her attack. At the same time, he secretly observed her moves, pondering how to further integrate the essence of Jeet Kune Do into the team's tactics.

The training ground was bathed in the afternoon sun, golden rays spilling onto the bluestone ground and casting a warm glow. Lu Yu stood in the center of the field, his black robe fluttering slightly in the wind. His eyes were calm and deep, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tenderness.

Standing opposite him was Xiao Wu, her pink pigtails swaying gently in the breeze, her pretty face full of seriousness and stubbornness.

Several days of hard training made her movements more fluid, her steps light as the wind, and her eyes revealed an eager excitement.

Lu Yu looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and inwardly marveled: Xiao Wu's progress had indeed exceeded his expectations.

"Brother Lu Yu, I won't give up so easily today!"

Xiao Wu clenched her fists, assuming the starting stance of Jeet Kune Do, a sly glint in her eyes, "Don't underestimate what I've accomplished these past few days!"

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and darted out like a nimble rabbit, launching the first attack on Lu Yu.

A hint of admiration flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He slightly shifted his body and easily dodged Xiao Wu's swift punch.

His fist technique was as smooth as flowing water, and his strength was controlled at 60%, which was enough to make Xiao Wu feel pressured without leaving her helpless.

Xiao Wu's intermediate Jeet Kune Do has become quite proficient through her diligent study. Her punches are sharp and her footwork is agile. She tries to use her speed to get behind Lu Yu and find an opening.

However, Lu Yu reacted even faster, moving with ghostly speed, always keeping Xiao Wu's attacks under control.

"The reaction was good, but the force needs to be more consistent."

As Lu Yu threw a punch, he offered his comments, his voice deep yet encouraging.

His punches seemed casual, but each strike was incredibly precise, forcing Xiao Wu to go all out.

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her pink cheeks were slightly flushed.

Her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul granted her extremely high flexibility, but she still felt an invisible pressure when facing Lu Yu's Jeet Kune Do.

Thirty moves later, Xiao Wu's movements remained swift, but her breathing began to quicken.

By the fiftieth move, her steps had slowed slightly, but her gaze had become increasingly determined.

Lu Yu nodded inwardly, deliberately slowing down his punches to give Xiao Wu more opportunities to respond.

"Come again!"

Xiao Wu let out a low shout, her fists flying like the wind, attempting to break through Lu Yu's defense with a side kick.

Lu Yu smiled slightly, blocked her attack with one hand, and at the same time slid his foot to her side and gently punched her shoulder.

Xiao Wu quickly turned around to block, but her movements, though swift, were somewhat strained.

Eighty moves, ninety moves... Time passed second by second, and Xiao Wu's face gradually turned pale. Sweat slid down her cheeks, soaking her clothes.

Her breathing became more and more rapid, and her legs trembled slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Lu Yu's gaze softened slightly, and his punching speed slowed down again, but he still maintained his offensive.

Finally, on the hundredth move, Xiao Wu could no longer hold on, her legs buckled, and she fell forward.

Lu Yu reacted quickly, stepping forward and firmly pulling her into his arms.

Xiao Wu's forehead pressed against his chest, her rapid breathing clearly audible in the quiet training ground.

Her cheeks were pale, and sweat dampened her bangs, but she wore a satisfied smile.

Lu Yu looked down at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and heartache. "Silly girl, you're so tired and you're still pushing yourself. Is it worth it?"

Xiao Wu raised her head, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, "Of course it's worth it! Brother Lu Yu, haven't I improved a lot?"

Her voice was weak, but it couldn't hide her excitement.

Lu Yu chuckled and gently patted her back. "Of course, it's even better than I expected."

However, don't push yourself so hard next time; I don't want you to exhaust yourself.

His tone was somewhat indulgent, which made Xiao Wu's cheeks blush slightly.

"Who's risking their life! It's because you're pushing them too hard!"

Xiao Wu muttered as she pushed Lu Yu away, but her eyes were full of smiles.

She straightened up, trying to hide her exhaustion, but couldn't conceal the satisfaction in her eyes.

Just then, a crisp system notification sounded in Lu Yu's mind: "Ding! Master Teacher Mission Completed: Xiao Wu's sparring has reached one hundred moves, reward has been issued."

Immediately afterwards, another notification sounded: "Ding! The master teacher guidance task is complete. Xiao Wu's strength has improved. The reward has been issued."

Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, his gaze falling on Xiao Wu, a warm feeling rising in his heart.

The system notification then displayed the rewards: Xiao Wu received a Martial Soul Enhancement Box, a Soul Ring Editing Use Box, and a random Soul Ring Box.

Lu Yu's heart stirred, and he secretly guessed that these rewards were mostly related to Xiao Wu's martial soul.

He was closest to Xiao Wu, and the system always seemed to "favor" him in these situations.

The land grants some rewards related to martial spirits.

He looked down at Xiao Wu and said softly, "Xiao Wu, are you tired? Come on, I'll take you upstairs to rest, and we can also take a look at this year's reward."

Xiao Wu blinked, her eyes full of curiosity. "A reward? Brother Lu Yu, what mysterious thing are you up to now?"

Although she said that, she obediently followed behind Lu Yu, unable to hide the smile on her face.

The two went upstairs, pushed open the door, and warm light shone on the wooden floor, with a faint sandalwood scent filling the air.

Lu Yu had Xiao Wu sit on a soft chair, while he sat cross-legged beside her, closing his eyes to communicate with the artificial intelligence in the system.

"System, please explain the effects of the Martial Soul Enhancement Box and the Soul Ring Editing Box."

The AI's voice was cold and clear: "The Martial Soul Enhancement Box can enhance the Martial Soul of a specified object. When using it, three options are provided, and the host can choose one to enhance."

The Soul Ring Editing Box allows you to edit the Soul Rings of a specified object. Options include changing Soul Rings, strengthening Soul Rings, or enhancing Soul Ring skills.

Lu Yu nodded, already having made up his mind.

He looked at Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with anticipation, "Xiao Wu, are you ready? I'm going to help you open these treasure chests."

Xiao Wu tilted her head, a sly glint in her eyes, "Brother Lu Yu, it's your decision, I believe you!"

Her tone was light and cheerful, with a hint of coquetry.

Lu Yu smiled, offered no further explanation, and directly instructed the system to open all the treasure chests.

With a flash of light, the rewards were clearly displayed in his mind: one chance to enhance his martial soul, one chance to edit his soul ring, and a 14,000-year-old Ice Fox Soul Ring.

The Ice Fox Soul Ring comes with two skills: Speed ​​Boost and Ice Domain.

Lu Yu glanced at it, but there wasn't much surprise in his eyes.

His spirit ring's effect far surpassed that of the Ice Fox spirit ring, so he wasn't particularly surprised. However, this spirit ring was a huge boost for Xiao Wu. (End of Chapter)
