Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 5 Phantom Dragon and the First Soul Skill
Shu Junyou acted quickly. In just five days, he returned to Qinghai City with a group of family shadow guards, escorting a strange-looking soul beast.

The reason why this soul beast has a strange appearance is because of its mirror-like scales.

At first glance, this scale armor has a water-like texture, which can easily refract light and even distort it. However, if you use mental power to feel it, it gives people a feeling of nothingness, as if mental power cannot detect this thing.

Shu Yan came closer, Shu Junyou glanced sideways slightly, and then began to introduce:

"This is a thousand-year-old phantom dragon."

"As the name suggests, its ability is to create all kinds of illusions to confuse its opponents. But at the same time, it is also one of the few powerful dragon soul beasts like the Thorn Dragon that possesses spatial attributes."

"The old man used Shrek Academy's channels to determine that this type of soul beast still thrives in the frozen mountains bordering the far north. Unexpectedly, the search went smoothly. It turned out to be a mature female phantom dragon with a cultivation base of over 50,000 years. This little fellow is its offspring."

Shu Yan nodded slightly and looked into the magnificent eyes of the thousand-year-old phantom dragon. In just a moment, he felt dizzy.

Shu Junyou supported Shu Yan and then said:
"This guy's scales are all treasures. They can distort light to create illusions and confuse people's perception. Sometimes, it is even more powerful when used in conjunction with the power of space. Your mental strength is not yet at the level to see through such illusions at a glance, so it's best to be careful."

Shu Yan nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, and no longer looked into the guy's eyes. Instead, he inserted a long sword made of the legs of the Death Demon Spider directly into the brain of the thousand-year-old phantom dragon, completely ending its life.

The purple soul ring emitting brilliant light slowly floated up. Shu Junyou took a step back and finally said:

"Everything should be done on a case-by-case basis. If you find something wrong, stop absorbing it immediately. Don't play with your life."

Shu Yan nodded, then sat down cross-legged on the spot, using his soul power to pull the thousand-year soul ring to cover himself from top to bottom...

……

Although there were some minor incidents in the absorption process, it was generally smooth.

After completing the absorption, Shu Yan stood up, and his bones once again made a crackling sound. Then, his body began to grow again, and his height increased by several centimeters.

"How does it feel?"

Shu Junyou also had a smile on his face. His cultivation had reached above level 85, so he could naturally see that Shu Yan's cultivation had reached level 15. This was the benefit of the first soul ring absorbing the thousand-year soul ring, and even the huge expense he had previously spent to refine Shu Yan's body. He was promoted to level five in one fell swoop, and his foundation was solid. Within a year, Shu Yan would definitely be able to use the residual medicinal power in his body to promote another five levels and become a great soul master.

A seven-year-old great soul master, how amazing, not to mention, at that time Shu Yan's soul ring ratio should be two purple, this configuration is enough to make him proud of any genius of the same level, even for a genius one level higher than him, it would be extremely difficult to defeat him.

"Very good, but my first soul skill is indeed surprising."

Shu Yan also had a smile on his face, and he was obviously in a very good mood.

Without waiting for Shu Junyou to answer, he continued:

"My first soul skill combines the powerful illusion-creating ability of the phantom dragon with the power of space. It is a range-type soul skill similar to a domain. Within the range of this soul skill, the enemy will not only be confused and attacked by the distorted spatial illusion, but I will also suffer a certain degree of amplification."

Shu Junyou was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Very good, but Ayan, I still have to warn you."

"If you go out to gain experience in the future, never reveal your soul skills to others at will. Soul skills are a soul master's biggest trump card. Unless you absolutely believe in and trust the other party, it is best to hide it if you can." Shu Yan nodded, indicating that he had taken note.

Shu Junyou had the phantom dragon's corpse carried away. Just as he said, the phantom dragon's body was a treasure. This corpse, which contained a large amount of dragon meat, dragon tendons and dragon scales, would naturally not be wasted. Everything would be put to good use.

"Oh, A'Yan, we're going back to Lingdou City in the next two days. Coincidentally, the little girl from the Han family has also returned. She's waiting for you in Lingdou City. Didn't you love sticking to her the most in the past? It's been a while since we last met, so this is a good time for you to reunite."

Shu Junyou added casually.

This time it was Shu Yan's turn to be stunned.

He and Han Ruoruo have a very good relationship. They are not biological siblings, but they are better than biological siblings.

Han Ruoruo watched him being born and had a very complicated feeling towards him. Most of the time she was busy with her studies and not in Lingdou City, but she would still ask people to bring various toys or Shrek City specialties to Shu Yan.

As soon as the holidays came, Han Ruoruo would immediately return to Lingdou City and take him to various places to play. To be honest, Shu Yan's childhood in this life was simple, but also very wonderful, and most of the wonderfulness was presented to him by Han Ruoruo.

To put it simply, they are like each other's only playmates, accompanying each other and growing together...

When Shu Junyou saw Shu Yan was stunned, he just smiled and left.

When Shu Yan came back to his senses from his memories, there was no one around.

He was in a very good mood at the moment and did not stay here for too long. He had gained a lot of insights in the past few days and he needed to meditate for a while to digest them. There was no doubt that these insights would be of great help in his future cultivation life.

……

The day of leaving Qinghai City came quickly. Shu Junyou and Yu Bingyan were both high-level soul masters and could fly, so they were naturally too lazy to take Shu Yan on a slow journey in a carriage.

As we headed south, the temperature gradually rose, especially after we flew over the Jingling Mountains. The scene before our eyes switched directly from a gloomy and rainy day to a sunny day. It really seemed like two different seasons separated by a mountain.

Lingdou City is located in the southwest of the Douling Empire and is not too far from the Xingdou Great Forest.

Although the Douling Empire was the weakest of the four great empires, this did not mean that Lingdou City, an ancient city that had existed on the continent for thousands of years, was backward. On the contrary, Lingdou City was extremely prosperous, the largest city in the eastern part of the continent and the economic, cultural and political center of the entire eastern continent.

The Shu family manor is located in the south of Lingdou City, not far from the Douling Palace. The area around the palace has always been a gathering place for dignitaries, and the Shu family is the leader among them.

Returning to the familiar environment, Shu Yan couldn't help but feel comfortable. Pushing open an elegant bamboo door, Shu Yan saw the familiar figure.

"Sister Ruoruo, long time no see..."

Shu Yan greeted her with a smile and sat down opposite Han Ruoruo.

Han Ruoruo put down the jade teacup in her hand, and a gentle smile appeared on her face, which was as beautiful as a spring mountain. Her every move was as elegant and refreshing as the meltwater from the snow-capped mountains. It was always a pleasure to stay with Han Ruoruo.
