Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

While Liu Erlong was engrossed in reading the letter, Lin Yu leaned over to take a peek.

Because Liu Erlong reacted quickly and pulled the letter back in time, Lin Yu did not see the contents clearly.

However, Lin Yu still caught a glimpse of the words: Nottingham City.

Nottingham City? It's related to Liu Erlong. Who could be in Nottingham City? There's no need to guess.

The purpose of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect in informing Liu Erlong of Yu Xiaogang's location at this time is quite obvious.

However, this is Liu Erlong's private matter and has nothing to do with me. Compared to Liu Erlong's personal affairs, the disposal of this soul bone is what I should be concerned about right now.

"Dean, what should I do with this soul bone of mine?"

When Lin Yu asked her question, Liu Erlong merely glanced at the two soul bones and spoke in a low, languid tone.

"Your soul bone isn't a good match for your martial soul, and its age is too low. With your talent, reaching the Soul Douluo level in the future won't be a problem. For the sake of your future, don't absorb soul bones younger than a thousand years old, unless you encounter an external soul bone."

Hearing Liu Erlong's words, Lin Yu couldn't help but glance at her. In fact, his plan for his soul bones in his earlier years was even more extreme: he would not absorb any that were less than ten thousand years old.

Since Liu Erlong brought up this topic, Lin Yu naturally had to ask about it out of curiosity.

"Dean, what's the difference between a hundred-year-old soul bone, a thousand-year-old soul bone, and a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone?"

Liu Erlong hadn't expected Lin Yu to be so greedy, wanting to know the effects of the ten-thousand-year soul bone.

However, she was unsure of the effects of the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, so she could only express it tactfully.

"You should have experienced the cultivation effects brought by spirit rings, so let me first tell you about the effects of spirit rings of different qualities."

"The lowest grade of white spirit ring is something you'll never have the chance to experience in your lifetime. But I can tell you that the spirit power provided by a white spirit ring is usually a physical technique, a combat skill derived from the spirit and spirit master. It's just a simple fake move."

"The most obvious effect of a yellow spirit ring, also known as a hundred-year spirit ring in the traditional sense, is that the spirit skill it comes with has its own spirit power. You can control the strength of the spirit skill by transferring spirit power."

"A thousand-year soul ring, while providing soul skills to a soul master, also provides a special attribute to the soul master's soul power. For example, my soul power, in addition to the fire attribute, also affects my emotions. This is the effect of subsequent soul rings on soul power attributes."

"If we're talking about which martial soul is the most authoritative in this regard, it's naturally the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, because their dragon transformation officially began after they obtained the thousand-year soul ring."

"The effect of a soul bone is similar to that of a soul ring of the same age. Apart from soul skills, a hundred-year soul bone will only accelerate the cultivation speed of a soul master."

"As for thousand-year-old soul bones, besides accelerating cultivation, they can also provide special attributes to your soul power. Your cultivation speed is sufficient, and you don't lack the extra benefit from soul bones, so I don't recommend absorbing soul bones younger than a thousand years old."

"As for external soul bones, they are a unique branch of soul bones. Because they are extremely rare, I only know that external soul bones have growth potential. As for the others..."

…………

Lin Yu didn't absorb the soul bone of that hundred-year-old fire-attribute dragon-type soul beast. Instead, he sold it to the "First Prince," who often came to Lin Yu's place to slack off.

As for what the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the three forces discussed after Lin Yu left that day, Lin Yu did not inquire.

As for Liu Erlong, she did not go to Notting City as the letter had stated, but continued to stay deep within Blue Tyrant Academy, spending her days either planting flowers or going to other people's homes for meals.

Lin Yu did not neglect his research on Thousand Forging. After mastering the iron smelting technology from the blacksmith shop in Tiandou City, Lin Yu bought a batch of iron ore and brought it to the forging room to study iron smelting.

Because Lin Yu possesses the ability to extend his consciousness outwards, his research on iron smelting techniques has progressed rapidly.

In just one week, he was able to hammer out iron blanks of a higher quality than those made by ordinary hundred-times forging.

As it turns out, his previous failures in the thousand-fold forging were due to him having misdirected his research.

Although he had chosen the right research direction, Lin Yu's weaknesses of being weak and short gradually became apparent during the forging process, which often lasted for several hours.

The increasing amount of exercise eventually led Lin Yu to completely improve the proportions of his medicinal diet: he completely abandoned ordinary soul beast meat and switched to medicinal diets made with the meat of century-old dragon soul beasts.

During Lin Yu's efforts to improve himself, two major events occurred.

One of them is the Spirit Hall.

In this year's selection of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Spirit Hall, because the performance of this year's Holy Son was too poor, the Spirit Hall only selected one Holy Daughter: Hu Liena.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yu no longer harbored the resentment she had when she first arrived in Tiandou City.

After all, he gradually made a name for himself in Tiandou City, and he didn't neglect his cultivation or nutrition.

Besides the Spirit Hall, there is another major event concerning Heaven Dou City.

The Second Prince of Tiandou City was assassinated in the street, but Emperor Xueye exhausted the entire nation's resources and still couldn't find the killer.

After this incident, a discordant voice emerged among the people: the Second Prince was assassinated because the First Prince refused to become a disciple of Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ning Fengzhi felt he had lost face, which is why he ruthlessly killed the Second Prince of Tiandou.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this discordant voice was intended to sow discord between the Heavenly Dou royal family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, was consumed by self-blame because of this incident, and afterwards he became despondent and stopped paying attention to court affairs.

To get away from the capital, the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, moved directly to the Tiandou Royal Academy. He built a house on a hilltop near the academy and began to live in seclusion.

To everyone's relief, when the eldest prince fell into depravity, Xue Beng, the youngest son of Emperor Xue Ye, stepped forward.

However, because Emperor Xueye was getting old, he had devoted most of his attention to the eldest prince in his earlier years.

Feeling that he lacked the mental strength, Emperor Xueye had Xue Beng become a disciple of Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The fact that the eldest prince was allowed to degenerate while the youngest prince was given such attention immediately aroused speculation among the nobles and princes of Tiandou City.

However, both the eldest prince and the youngest prince are too young, and Tiandou City remains relatively stable until the situation becomes clearer.

…………

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, Blue Tyrant Academy is growing ever more magnificent, not only because it is a commoner's academy in Tiandou City, but also because it has a living advertisement.

Lin Yu, disciple of Liu Erlong, the dean of Lanba Academy.

That genius who broke through level 20 at the age of eight, and is expected to reach level 30 before the age of twelve.

In terms of cultivation speed alone, it's not enough to make Lin Yu a living advertisement for Blue Tyrant Academy.

The important thing is that over the years, there has been a constant comparison between Lin Yu and Hu Liena, the current Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

The fact that the Spirit Hall only has one Holy Maiden this year naturally attracts attention.

However, looking at the world of Soul Masters, there is a young man whose age is similar to that of the current Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, but whose cultivation speed is several steps faster than that of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

In this silent contest, besides the two young people as the main characters, there is another interesting aspect.

Those were their teachers. Anyone who paid even a little attention to what happened in the Soul Master world a few years ago would know that their teachers had been competing against each other since they were young.

How could such gossip not stir up among the commoner Soul Masters?
