Chapter 364 The 1st Soul Ring
Lu Yu took a deep breath, then led the team carefully into the cave.
Move forward along the winding passage, carefully avoiding various traps and mechanisms along the way.
Came to a spacious cave hall.
I saw a huge soul beast emitting rich soul power lying there to rest.
Its eyes were closed, and it seemed unaware of its arrival.
Seeing this, Lu Yu had an idea and he quietly made a gesture, signaling the team to get ready.
Then, he waved his hand violently and led his team to launch a fierce attack on the soul beast.
The soul beast was awakened by the attack and let out a deafening roar.
Then, it suddenly jumped up and pounced towards Lu Yu.
A fierce battle broke out again.
Lu Yu and his team members fought a desperate battle with the soul beast with all their might.
Constantly use various skills and attack methods to try to defeat the soul beast.
However, the strength of this soul beast is very strong, and the attack does not seem to cause much damage to it.
On the contrary, the soul beast's attacks became more and more fierce, making it difficult to resist.
At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly came up with an idea.
He quietly went behind the soul beast and used the power of his martial soul and Tongtian Talisman to
Putting away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Lu Yu turned around, took a step forward, and prepared to leave this place.
……
"What? You plan to go to the Soul Hunting Forest alone to get the soul ring?"
In the teaching department, Director Su's voice trembled slightly because of surprise, and his eyes widened involuntarily, as if he could see through Lu Yu.
Lu Yu stood in front of Director Su's desk with a firm expression. He shook his head slightly and said to Director Su:
"Director Su, you misunderstood, I don't plan to go alone.
My grandfather will go with me.”
Upon hearing this, Director Su frowned slightly and asked in confusion:
"Your grandfather? I remember your enrollment information said that you are an orphan, right?"
Lu Yu nodded again, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He had just started school this morning, and because he was a soul master with innate full soul power, Director Su had a particularly deep impression of him.
At this moment, facing Director Su's question, he took a deep breath and said slowly:
“Yes, Director Su, I am indeed an orphan.
But my grandfather is my only relative.
He has been protecting me secretly, but I didn’t tell anyone.”
Upon hearing this, Director Su showed an even more surprised expression on his face.
He didn't expect that Lu Yu would hide such a secret.
He looked at Lu Yu quietly, waiting for him to continue explaining.
Lu Yu was silent for a while, as if he was weighing something.
He took another deep breath and said to Director Su:
“Actually, the reason why I said I was an orphan was because I didn’t want the academy to have prejudice against me because of my identity.
I know that as a soul master without a family background, I may receive some unfair treatment in the academy.
So, I chose to hide my identity and just wanted to prove my worth through my own efforts.”
As Director Su listened to Lu Yu's words, a look of understanding and appreciation gradually appeared in his eyes.
He nodded and said:
"Lu Yu, I'm glad you have such an idea.
However, the Soul Hunting Forest is not an ordinary place.
The soul beasts there are extremely ferocious, and even experienced soul masters dare not set foot there easily.
Are you sure you and your grandpa can handle it?"
When Lu Yu heard this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He said:
"Director Su, my grandfather is a very powerful soul master.
He has extensive experience in hunting soul beasts.
I believe that with his company, I will be able to successfully obtain my own spirit ring."
Director Su nodded slightly upon hearing this.
However, he still said with some concern:
“Even so, the danger of the Soul Hunting Forest cannot be ignored.
Moreover, I heard that to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, three nobles are required as guarantors.
Although your grandfather is a soul master, he is not a noble after all.
How are you going to solve this problem?"
Lu Yu smiled slightly when he heard this.
He took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Director Su.
Director Su took the note and looked at it, only to see the names and contact information of three nobles written on it.
He looked at Lu Yu in surprise and asked:
"This is……?"
Lu Yu explained:
“My grandfather helped me make the connection.
He said that these three nobles were all his friends.
Willing to vouch for me.”
Upon hearing this, Director Su showed a gratified smile on his face.
He said:
“In that case, I’m relieved.
Lu Yu, go back and prepare.
I'll help you arrange everything.
But you must remember that safety comes first.
No matter what happens, protect yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded gratefully.
He said:
"Thank you, Director Su.
I will definitely remember your teachings."
After saying that, Lu Yu turned and left the teaching office.
Director Su looked at his departing figure and sighed inwardly:
“This child is truly a rare genius.
I hope he can successfully obtain his own spirit ring in the Soul Hunting Forest and become a true spirit master."
In the next few days, Lu Yu was preparing to go to the Soul Hunting Forest.
He purchased the necessary equipment and medicines, and also asked the teachers at the academy for some techniques and experience in hunting soul beasts.
Director Su has been busy for him, helping him contact the hiring team, arrange itinerary, etc.
Finally, the day of departure arrived.
Lu Yu and his grandfather arrived at the gate of the academy early, waiting for the arrival of the mercenary team.
After a while, a luxurious carriage slowly drove over and stopped in front of them.
Three young noblemen in gorgeous clothes got off the carriage. They were Lu Yu's guarantors.
"Lu Yu, this is our guarantor."
Grandpa pointed at the three young nobles and said to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu smiled and nodded, saying:
"Hello, I'm Lu Yu.
Thank you for your willingness to vouch for me.”
The three young nobles responded with a smile:
"You are welcome.
We are friends with your grandfather, so it is our duty to help you."
After saying that, they got on the carriage together.
The carriage moved slowly towards the Soul Hunting Forest.
Along the way, Lu Yu had a very pleasant chat with the three young nobles.
They discussed the types of soul beasts, hunting techniques, the experience of soul masters in cultivation, etc.
Lu Yu learned a lot of useful knowledge from him and also felt the enthusiasm and friendliness of the noble youth.
After several hours of bumpy ride, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest.
After getting off the car, I saw a dense forest and a group of ferocious soul beasts.
Lu Yu couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but he still held the weapon in his hand firmly.
"Lu Yu, don't be nervous."
Grandpa patted him on the shoulder and said,
“Remember, the most important things when hunting soul beasts are calmness and patience.
You must carefully observe the actions and habits of soul beasts, find their weaknesses and kill them with one strike."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded.
He took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality.
Then, he, his grandfather, and the three young nobles walked into the Soul Hunting Forest.
The forest is full of dangers and unknowns.
Walk carefully, always alert to the movements around you.
After a while, they encountered a ferocious soul beast - a huge black bear.
The black bear roared and pounced on them, and Lu Yu and his grandfather quickly started fighting.
With perfect cooperation, one attacking and the other defending, they soon subdued the black bear to the ground.
Then, Lu Yu pierced the black bear's heart with his weapon and successfully obtained his first soul ring.
Seeing that Lu Yu successfully obtained the soul ring, the three young nobles congratulated him one after another.
He said:
"Lu Yu, you are truly a genius.
He successfully obtained his own spirit ring in such a short time."
Lu Yu smiled and responded:
“Thank you for the compliments.
This is all because of my grandfather’s good teaching.”
After that, he continued to go deeper into the forest.
In the next few days, we encountered many soul beasts again.
With the help of his grandfather and the three young nobles, Lu Yu successfully obtained his own soul ring.
Deep in the Soul Hunting Forest, a powerful soul beast was encountered - a huge fire dragon.
The fire dragon roared and spewed flames. Lu Yu, his grandfather and others started fighting.
The battle was extremely fierce and dangerous.
Lu Yu, his grandfather and others tried their best to subdue the fire dragon to the ground.
Then, Lu Yu pierced the fire dragon's heart with his weapon and successfully obtained his last soul ring.
Seeing that Lu Yu successfully obtained the last soul ring, the three young nobles congratulated him one after another.
Said:
"Lu Yu, you are such an amazing genius.
In such a short time, he successfully obtained all of his spirit rings."
Lu Yu smiled and responded:
“Thank you for the compliments.
This is all thanks to Grandpa and your help."
After saying that, they walked out of the Soul Hunting Forest together.
The next day, when Lu Yu and his grandfather were walking in the forest, they suddenly heard a cry for help from afar.
He immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
When they arrived at the scene, they found a group of soul masters besieging a ten thousand year old soul beast.
The soul beast was so powerful that it put the group of soul masters in a tough battle.
Looking at the miserable appearance of those soul masters, Lu Yu felt sympathy and anger.
He immediately rushed forward and joined the battle.
In the battle, Lu Yu showed amazing strength.
Relying on his own intelligence and his grandfather's guidance, he successfully defeated the ten thousand year soul beast and rescued the group of soul masters.
The group of soul masters looked at Lu Yu and Grandpa with gratitude, not knowing how to express their gratitude.
Lu Yu's face was filled with a warm smile, and he said softly:
“Although I am an orphan without the love of my parents, fortunately, the village chief adopted me and treated me as his own child.
The love and care he gave me made me feel the warmth of home.”
Upon hearing this, Director Su nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he raised his head, looked at Lu Yu firmly, and said:
"In that case, I will make an exception.
In our college, there are indeed some privileges that do not require the guarantee of a noble.
I can give you a certificate, and with this certificate, you can directly enter the Soul Hunting Forest."
Director Su's words reveal his care and expectations for Lu Yu.
Although the village chief may not be wealthy, he should at least be able to pay for hiring someone to hunt for a ten-year spirit ring.
After all, for a soul master, obtaining a soul ring is a crucial step.
When Lu Yu heard Director Su's words, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He looked at Director Su with gratitude, then took the heavy certificate.
This certificate not only means that he can enter the Soul Hunting Forest, but also means that he is about to embark on the journey of becoming a true soul master.
"Thank you, Director Su.
I will definitely cherish this opportunity.”
Lu Yu said solemnly.
Director Su smiled and nodded, saying:
“Go ahead, kid.
I believe you will be able to find a spirit ring that suits you and become an outstanding spirit master."
Lu Yu left the teaching office happily with the certificate in his hand.
The journey to the Soul Beast Forest is long and full of dangers, but in comparison, the Soul Hunting Forest is undoubtedly a safer and more suitable choice.
“There are no ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, and the number of thousand-year soul beasts is relatively small.
This is a great opportunity for me.”
Lu Yu pondered secretly in his heart.
The dangers of the Soul Beast Forest.
Ten-year soul beasts and hundred-year soul beasts may not pose much of a threat to him, but some powerful thousand-year soul beasts make him feel a little tricky.
And the ten thousand year soul beast is an existence that he cannot match.
Once you encounter it, I'm afraid you can only run away.
Therefore, the Soul Hunting Forest became Lu Yu's first choice to obtain his first soul ring.
Here, he will definitely be able to find a spirit ring that suits him.
Lu Yu left the college holding the certificate issued by Director Su.
He trotted all the way, through the busy streets, and headed straight for the Soul Hunting Forest outside the city.
Lu Yu was thinking about the soul ring in his mind.
The choice of spirit rings is crucial for spirit masters.
Once chosen, it will accompany him throughout his life.
Therefore, he must choose carefully and not make hasty decisions.
"What kind of soul beast should I choose as my first soul ring?"
Lu Yu said to himself.
In Douluo Continent, every soul master's martial soul is unique.
And Lu Yu’s martial soul, the Fantian Seal, is unprecedented.
This left him without any reference when choosing a spirit ring, and he could only rely on his own intuition and judgment.
"Perhaps, I can first understand the characteristics and attributes of different soul beasts."
Lu Yu pondered in his heart.
He began to recall the knowledge about soul beasts he had learned in the academy.
The attributes and characteristics of soul beasts are often closely related to their appearance and habits.
For example, some large soul beasts often possess powerful strength and defense; while some fast soul beasts may have agility and evasive ability.
"It would be great if I could find a soul beast that not only matches the characteristics of my martial soul but can also enhance my strength."
Lu Yu prayed secretly in his heart.
He walked forward while thinking, and soon arrived at the edge of the Soul Hunting Forest.
Looking at the dense woods and lush vegetation in front of him, Lu Yu took a deep breath and then walked in.
After entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Lu Yu became alert.
He moved carefully among the woods, always paying attention to the movements around him.
Although it is relatively safe here, there are still dangers.
"Huh? What is that?"
Suddenly, Lu Yu's attention was attracted by a small animal jumping in the woods.
The little animal was small in size, had light blue fur, and looked very cute.
But Lu Yu keenly noticed that there was a faint fluctuation of soul power emanating from it.
"This is a ten-year soul beast!"
Lu Yu's heart moved.
Although the ten-year soul beast is not very powerful, it is a good training object for a beginner like him.
Moreover, by hunting this little beast, he can also obtain his first soul ring.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu quietly approached the little beast.
He held his breath and moved lightly around the back of the little beast.
Then, he suddenly exerted force, jumped up, and pounced towards the little beast.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Lu Yu fell heavily to the ground.
But the little beast seemed to have noticed it and dodged the attack nimbly.
"Damn it! I actually let it run away!"
Lu Yu got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on his body.
Although the first attack failed, Lu Yu was not discouraged.
He readjusted his state and chased after the little beast again.
This time, he was careful.
He used his agility and keen insight to gradually approach the little beast.
With a clever sneak attack, he successfully captured the little beast.
"Great! I can get my first spirit ring!"
Lu Yu shouted excitedly.
According to what he had learned in the academy, he began to prepare to absorb the soul ring.
