Chapter 212 Why is there such pressure all of a sudden?

Lu Yu looked at Luo Shen helplessly: "Stop being naughty, okay? How are we old?"

"In this world, we are just so small, and we still need to grow!"

"Okay, let's get down to business - if we succeed in getting your first spirit ring."

"My advice to you is that you must not waste every minute of your time now."

"Because you have never walked the path of a soul master, unlike me who has experience, I will definitely be able to practice faster than you."

"So you must be more careful to truly control your own destiny on this continent."

Luo Shen was very surprised that Lu Yu would say that, but after thinking for a while, she seemed to realize something, so she looked at Lu Yu and asked, "Could it be that there are many more powerful people on this continent?"

"Or to put it more bluntly, these more powerful people don't seem to be easy to get along with?"

Lu Yu had always known that Luo Shen was a very smart person, and he did not want to hide it from Luo Shen. After all, there was nothing to hide, so he told Luo Shen.

"We are now just the bottom of the soul master training, and those Douluo seem to be unattainable."

"But believe me, as long as we practice diligently, we will soon become one of them."

“When you stand at that height, you will find that there are even more powerful people at higher places.”

Luo Shen asked in confusion: "It has become even more powerful. Who are you afraid of hurting me?"

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, lowered his voice, and whispered in Luo Shen's ear: "The place that recruited you yesterday."

These words made Luo Shen a little stunned. After all, the elder Sad yesterday looked very kind... But behind the elder Sad, there are even more powerful upper-ups...

Thinking of this, Luo Shen understood everything instantly, but he still didn't want to become an opposing party with the not-so-bad Elder Sad.

In order to avoid being eavesdropped, Lu Yu brought Luo Shen to a relatively spacious place and stood there. After making sure that there was no one around, he lowered his voice.

He explained to Luo Shen: "The Spirit Hall is a force on Douluo Continent that can compete with the two great empires."

"Although the Spirit Hall will help ordinary people awaken their spirits, as long as you register as a spirit master there."

"They can receive a certain amount of income every month. This method helps them to virtually recruit many soul masters."

"Because they belong to a third party, they can balance the relationship between the two empires and prevent a war between them."

“It harms innocent people and creates unnecessary chaos… Overall, it appears to be a very just organization.”

After listening to Lu Yu's words, Luo Shen understood in her heart. It seems that the top leaders of the Spirit Hall have extremely strong ambitions, otherwise how could they recruit so many soul masters?

But Luo Shen was still a little puzzled: "There is no free lunch in the world. Asking soul masters to register their information and giving them income is definitely not free, right?"

A smile appeared on Lu Yu's lips: "You are right, when something happens to the Spirit Hall, just call them."

"They cannot refuse with any reason or excuse. They must all join the Spirit Hall camp."

"Helping Spirit Hall to fight until the war is over... this is their price."

Luo Shen was dumbfounded when he heard this: "What? How dare they be so blatant and plan for me?"

"Hasn't anyone ever suspected that their motives were not pure? Are those other two empires you mentioned just sitting there doing nothing?"

Lu Yu shook his head slightly: "How could no one see through their intentions? But let alone those who dare to openly challenge them."

"People who cannot join the Spirit Hall due to some reasons and go against their will will be killed by them for various reasons."

"After all, they have always maintained their image as a righteous army, making people who are not aware of the situation trust them very much."

"So it has been safe and sound for all these years, and it has become even stronger..."

"It turns out that the mother of the male protagonist in Douluo Continent and his girlfriend were both killed by people from the Spirit Hall."

These news about Lu Yu made Luo Shen unable to calm down for a long time. No wonder, no wonder Lu Yu had always rejected Elder Thade's invitation. It turned out to be like this - let alone Lu Yu, even if she knew, she would not be willing to join the Spirit Hall.

"We rejected Elder Sad so decisively. Won't they attack us?"

Lu Yubei shook his head: "First of all, I have observed Sade. I think his character is pretty good. He would not do such a cruel thing."

"Besides, you are too old for them, unless you can show your full strength and value."

"They will definitely make various infiltration invitations to you. If you refuse to agree, you will probably get into trouble."

"So I'm very glad that you didn't reveal your innate full soul power that day, otherwise, we would definitely not be at peace now."

Seeing Luo Shen's lingering fear, Lu Yu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much. After all, these things are still some distance away from us for the time being."

"We just need to practice well now. Do you have any idea about the defensive and speed spirit rings I just mentioned?"

"Which aspect of the first spirit ring do you want to strengthen first? Once we have a direction, we can go look for the spirit beast."

Hearing Lu Yu mention the issue of his soul ring, Luo Shen became quiet and started to think seriously... There was silence between the two of them for a while. Lu Yu took Luo Shen's hand and continued to walk towards the Sunset Forest.

After a while, Luo Shen suddenly spoke: "I want to choose a speed-type spirit ring. The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed."

"If my Luoshen Sword is coupled with speed, I believe that under normal circumstances, no one can defeat me!"

"Of course, it would be best to have a speed spirit ring, but if you don't have one, then the next best option is to choose a defense spirit ring."

"Lu Yu, what do you think of my arrangement? Is it okay?"

Lu Yu's eyes were full of admiration and tenderness. He liked independent and strong girls like Luo Shen, who had a clear understanding and plan for their lives.

She will not follow the crowd or be indecisive. Instead, she will choose the best decision for her based on the current situation.

"What a coincidence, your idea is the same as mine. I also hope to choose a speed-type spirit ring for you."

"If you really can't defeat the opponent because of insufficient soul power, at least you can speed up and escape, successfully saving your life."

"As for revenge, it's easy to deal with now that you've saved your life. As the old saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Luo Shen listened to Lu Yu's words and nodded obediently... The two of them walked forward and soon arrived at the Sunset Forest. Because they had planned it in advance, Lu Yu took Luo Shen and began to walk gradually towards the central area of ​​the Sunset Forest.

Prepare to find a more suitable soul beast for Luo Shen here - after walking for an afternoon, both of them were tired and hot. Lu Yu was fine, after all, he already had soul power, so walking was not that difficult.

But Luo Shen was different from him. Luo Shen didn't have a soul ring yet, and couldn't use her soul power for the time being. She had to walk purely on her feet. Lu Yu felt sorry for her, so the two of them found an open place and prepared to take a rest first.

After regaining his strength, he began to look for a suitable soul beast. Lu Yu considerately took out a few snacks from the space soul guide. When Luo Shen saw the food, she smiled and praised him: "Lu Yu, you are so nice and considerate!"

Afterwards, Luo Shen and Lu Yu happily feasted on the meal. After finishing the meal, they sat for a while. Lu Yu saw that it was getting late, so he dealt with the remaining garbage.

Just as he was preparing to take Luo Shen away, suddenly a huge sense of oppression came towards them, causing the hairs on Lu Yu's body to stand up and his whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

Luo Shen, who was standing by, naturally also felt the pressure keenly. Her reaction was even more intense than Lu Yu's. After all, her soul power was not as strong as Lu Yu's. Her body seemed to be completely out of her control, and her whole body was shaking violently.

Luo Shen couldn't remember how many years it had been since she had felt this way. She looked at Lu Yu beside her in panic: "There is danger. What's going on?"

Lu Yu was also very surprised. After all, bringing Luo Shen to the Sunset Forest alone to look for soul beasts was a rather dangerous thing. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't dare to come here alone.

Normally, when searching for spirit rings, a team would come together, but Luo Shen’s situation was special now, and Lu Yu didn’t have a suitable person around him. Moreover, according to his plan, if it was just a spirit beast of a few thousand years old, it would be no problem for him to deal with it.

So after he arrived at the Sunset Forest, Lu Yu was always cautious and alert. He had already cast a Shangqing Sensing Talisman on himself. Coupled with his own strong mental power, he was always aware of the vigilance of the people around him, which made his perception extremely sharp.

It's just to guard against the sudden appearance of some soul beasts. It's okay for me, but it's difficult for Luo Shen to escape... Lu Yu has always been very cautious, but he didn't feel any soul beasts around him at all. How come there was such pressure suddenly?

Lu Yu's thoughts were surging as he quickly analyzed the situation in front of him. Soon he came to a conclusion that this pressure might have come from a soul beast over ten thousand years old.

The strength of this soul beast is extremely terrifying, but according to my current strength, I am not without the ability to fight this guy. After all, I have obtained an external soul bone in my first soul ring.

This external soul bone comes with the Dominant Domain. Whenever he uses the soul bone skills, the Dominant Domain will be integrated into his unleashed attacks, creating a terrifying power. This soul bone also provides Lu Yu's right hand with a three-fold increase in power.

His second soul ring was a mutated Earth Bear. Although this mutated Earth Bear did not provide him with too many attack skills, it was an expert in defense with innate advantages.

He has thick skin and immense strength, which greatly increases Lu Yu's defense and strength. Even with his two soul rings, if he is alone, he can compete with ten thousand year level soul beasts.

However, now he has Luo Shen by his side, and Luo Shen needs his protection. Lu Yu is always worried that Luo Shen will be accidentally injured or targeted by other soul beasts when he is not paying attention. That would be a bit troublesome.

This made Lu Yu a little troubled... Lu Yu didn't know how this soul beast targeted him and Luo Shen, even in the Sunset Forest.

It's impossible for a soul beast that's tens of thousands of years old to appear just as we walked into the central area of ​​the forest, right? Lu Yu always felt that this guy's appearance was a little strange, but he didn't have the heart to check what was strange.

The most important thing now is to escape. Lu Yu lowered his voice and said to Luo Shen beside him: "We are in danger now. The soul beast in front of us should be a soul beast of tens of thousands of years old."

"It's a bit tricky to deal with him, and you don't have much soul power right now. The sound of our fighting will easily attract other soul beasts to come over."

"You will be in danger by then, so the best plan is to run away!"

After hearing Lu Yu's explanation, Luo Shen immediately realized that it was his own existence that was holding Lu Yu back, otherwise Lu Yu would not have said, "The sound of fighting can easily attract the attention of other soul beasts."

This means that Lu Yu is not incapable of fighting this soul beast, but because of himself... This realization made Luo Shen feel instantly disappointed, as this was also what she had been worried about.

Finding a soul bone that suits her so that she can cultivate her soul power is obviously an urgent matter. Luo Shen's eyes flashed with ambition - she must become stronger!

He became someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Lu Yu, and would no longer be easily threatened by these soul beasts, instead of being a burden to Lu Yu.

At this time, Lu Yu no longer cared about Luo Shen's thoughts. He grabbed Luo Shen's arm, mobilized all his spiritual power, and ran away with her.

Although Luo Shen was trembling all over, she still tried hard to control the fear in her heart. This fear was forced upon her by the rules set by this world.

But Luo Shen had a strong willpower and she would not allow herself to become like this... Soon the two of them were a thousand meters away from their original location.

But it was not enough, this was not enough, because Lu Yu realized that the murderous aura did not end with their departure, but instead locked onto them tightly and moved quickly towards him.

Lu Yu first sacrificed the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman and hit Luo Shen's body, making her whole body embedded in the six-layer protective shield, but his feet did not stop moving.
