Chapter 377 The Best Years of Spirit Rings

The teacher stood on the podium, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, and announced a piece of news that excited all the students: "Today, I will lead you to obtain spirit rings! This is an important milestone on your journey as a spirit master."

Tang San couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement in his heart.

The importance of spirit rings to spirit masters is self-evident. Not only can they endow spirit masters with powerful abilities, they are also the key to improving their strength.

As a soul master who mainly cultivates the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, his expectations for the first soul ring are beyond ordinary people.

"I wonder what kind of abilities I will have after I obtain my first spirit ring?"

Tang San pondered secretly in his heart.

Although the blue silver grass may seem ordinary, it will surely burst out with amazing power after obtaining the first soul ring that is most suitable for its age.

He was looking forward to taking this opportunity to stand out in the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy and become a leader among his peers.

……

After obtaining his first soul ring, Lu Yu's life rhythm became unusually regular.

His daily life was almost always spent shuttling back and forth between the playground, classroom and dormitory, forming a fixed trajectory.

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone across the campus, Lu Yu had already arrived at the playground.

He was wearing the simple uniform of the Soul Master Academy, with an upright posture and a focused expression.

On the playground, he was running, swinging his sword, or practicing soul skills. Every movement revealed his precise control of soul power and deep understanding of combat skills.

Many times, in order to save time, Lu Yu didn’t even go to the cafeteria, but just asked his roommates to help him get food and bring it back.

The path of a soul master is full of hardships and difficulties. Only by continuous practice can one go further on this path.

Going to the classroom was more like a routine for Lu Yu.

Although he had mastered most of the knowledge the teacher taught, he had to maintain his attendance rate in order to avoid being expelled from the college.

After all, once he was expelled from the Junior Soul Master Academy, his dream of entering the Intermediate Soul Master Academy or even the Advanced Soul Master Academy would become out of reach.

In the classroom, Lu Yu always sat quietly in the corner, listening to the teacher's explanation silently.

Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he looked thoughtful, trying to imprint every point of knowledge deeply in his mind.

However, when it came to knowledge about soul beasts, he would listen attentively, fearing to miss any of it.

"When I was in the Soul Hunting Forest before, I suffered because I couldn't identify the type and age of the soul beasts."

Lu Yu thought to himself, "I must study hard this time to avoid making the same mistake again."

Apart from eating, attending classes and going to the playground to complete his work-study duties, Lu Yu spent almost all his time in the dormitory practicing.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and concentrated, the soul power in his body flowing slowly under his guidance.

The three levels of reverse life, the golden light spell, the thunder method...

These cultivation methods that he carefully selected gradually showed amazing power through his efforts.

His roommates often saw him practicing so hard, and although they all expressed admiration, most people thought he was a loner and rarely took the initiative to contact him.

However, Lu Yu didn't care about it.

The path of a soul master requires loneliness and perseverance. Only by continuous practice can one go further on this path.

And what about Tang San? He is completely different from Lu Yu.

On weekdays, he is always inseparable from Xiao Wu. The two go to the blacksmith shop together to practice the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique, and then follow Yu Xiaogang to learn various martial arts knowledge.

The figure moved around the campus and became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Xiao San, do you think Lu Yu can really become very strong if he stays in the dormitory practicing all day?"

The next day, Xiao Wu asked Tang San curiously.

Tang San shook his head, frowning slightly: "I don't know either.

But I feel that his way of practicing seems a bit extreme.

Although improving your cultivation is important, practical experience is equally indispensable.

If he continues like this, he will probably suffer in a real battle."

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I think so too.

But having said that, his perseverance and persistence are really admirable. "

"Yeah, indeed."

Tang San sighed, "Everyone has his or her own way of practicing.

Maybe he has his own agenda.”

As they talked, they walked into the teaching building and prepared for class.

In the classroom, Yu Xiaogang was explaining the knowledge about soul beasts to the students.

His voice was loud and clear, and every word contained endless meaning.

"Students, there are many types of soul beasts, and each soul beast has its own unique attributes and abilities."

Yu Xiaogang said with a sharp gaze, “The age and quality of a spirit ring are often closely related to the strength and rarity of the spirit beast.

Therefore, we must consider carefully when choosing a spirit ring."

The students listened with great interest, and some nodded in agreement from time to time.

However, when Yu Xiaogang's eyes fell on Lu Yu, his face instantly became gloomy.

"Humph, some people only know how to practice all day long, but ignore the importance of practical experience."

Yu Xiaogang said dissatisfiedly, "Such a soul master, no matter how high his cultivation is, is just an embroidered pillow, good looking but useless!"

There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.

Lu Yu sat in the corner, his expression changed slightly, but he did not refute, just lowered his head silently.

Although Yu Xiaogang's words were harsh, they did make sense.

However, he also has his own difficulties and plans.

After class, Lu Yu returned to the dormitory alone and continued his practice.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and concentrated, the soul power in his body flowing slowly under his guidance.

The first level of the third level of reverse life! Suddenly, a faint light appeared on the surface of his body, which was the manifestation of the soul power in his body.

Then, he began to practice the Golden Light Spell and Thunder Magic. The soul power in his body turned into golden lightning, shuttling through his meridians.

At the same time, on the other side of the playground, Tang San and Xiao Wu were sparring with each other.

The figures flashed on the playground, sometimes as fast as a storm, sometimes as gentle as a drizzle.

The students around were stunned and cheered for the two.

"Xiao Wu, be careful!"

Tang San shouted loudly, and swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand violently, smashing towards Xiao Wu with a whistling sound.

Xiao Wu dodged Tang San's attack with a flash, then jumped up and kicked Tang San.

Tang San turned his body to the side, used his shoulder to block Xiao Wu's attack, and at the same time punched Xiao Wu with his backhand.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.

As night fell, Lu Yu ended his training.

He opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling.

He stood up, stretched his muscles, felt the abundant soul power in his body, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open and a burly student walked in.

"Lu Yu, I heard that you practice very hard, so I came here today to learn from you."

The student said with a smile.

His face was filled with confidence and heroism, and he was confident of winning the competition.

Lu Yu was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Okay, then please give me your advice."

This competition is not only a test of one's training results, but also a refinement of one's fighting skills.

The two came to the open space outside the dormitory and stood still.

The student introduced himself: "My name is Wang Hu, my martial soul is the mighty bear, and I am a level 35 strong attack-type combat soul master!"

As he spoke, his muscles swelled up instantly, like a ferocious beast.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, his eyes became firm: "My name is Lu Yu, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I am a level 29 control-type combat soul master."

Although his cultivation level is slightly lower than Wang Hu's, his eyes reveal an indomitable fighting spirit.

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu launched an attack.

His figure left a trail of afterimages on the spot, which turned into countless blue silver grasses and entangled towards Wang Hu.

Wang Hu snorted coldly and waved his hands. The powerful force directly shattered Lu Yu's blue silver grass.

However, Lu Yu's attack did not end. He turned around and launched a new round of offensive.

"Humph, it seems you do have some skills!"

Wang Hu roared angrily, and his soul power burst out instantly.

His body expanded again, turning into a real giant bear.

He waved his huge fist and pounced on Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's face was solemn, and Wang Hu had become serious.

He dodged Wang Hu's attack with a flash of his body.

However, Wang Hu followed closely like a shadow, punching Lu Yu again and again.

Lu Yu dodged left and right, while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Your speed is good, but your strength is far from enough!"

Wang Hu laughed.

Each of his punches contained tremendous force, forcing Lu Yu to respond with all his strength.

Lu Yu thought to himself, "Wang Hu is indeed powerful, but I can't let him lead me by the nose.

I must find his weakness and deliver a fatal blow."

At this moment, Wang Hu launched another attack.

He pounced on Lu Yu like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Lu Yu suddenly jumped up and cleverly avoided Wang Hu's attack.

At the same time, he seized a flaw of Wang Hu, flashed and came behind Wang Hu.

"Blue silver entanglement!"

Lu Yu shouted.

I saw countless blue silver grass emerging from the ground and tightly wrapping around Wang Hu.

Wang Hu struggled hard, but the Blue Silver Grass was so resilient that he couldn't break free at all.

"Humph!"

Wang Hu roared angrily, and his soul power burst out again.

He tried to use his powerful strength to break free from the blue silver grass.

However, Lu Yu did not give him this opportunity.

He waved his hands, and the blue silver grass tightened instantly, strangling Wang Hu so that he couldn't breathe.

"I surrender!"

Wang Hu couldn't help but shout.

I can't hold on any longer. If I continue like this I will only get hurt more seriously.

Lu Yu let go of the Blue Silver Grass, looked at Wang Hu and said, "You are also very strong. We will have a chance to compete again in the future."

He said it calmly, but his heart was full of insights and gains from this competition.

Wang Hu got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and showed a look of admiration on his face: "Lu Yu, you are really amazing! I lost."

I was convinced of my defeat in this competition.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and nodded to Wang Hu: "You are also very strong.

I believe you will become an outstanding soul master."

He spoke sincerely and firmly, and he had already seen Wang Hu's glory.

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Yu sat on the bed and began to summarize today's combat experience.

Although I won the competition, there are still many shortcomings that need to be improved.

"My cultivation is still too low."

Lu Yu thought to himself, “If I face a higher level spirit master, it will probably be difficult to win.

I must practice harder."

At this moment, the dormitory door was pushed open again.

The one who came in this time was Tang San.

He looked at Lu Yu and said, "I heard

Two years passed in a blink of an eye.

In an office at Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy, Yu Xiaogang gently closed the book in his hand, his eyes fell on Tang San in front of him, a trace of surprise on his face: "Are you saying that Lu Yu just asked for leave from the academy and is going out to get his second spirit ring?"

Tang San nodded, with a barely perceptible solemnity in his expression: "Yes, the academy has confirmed that his spirit power has reached level 20, so his application for leave has been approved.

Now he has set off.”

Having said that, Tang San's palms involuntarily clenched slightly.

Looking back on the past two years, his soul power has only been cultivated to level sixteen, which is still a long way from the level twenty mark. It will take at least half a year to make a breakthrough.

When Lu Yu just got his first spirit ring, Tang San secretly believed that Lu Yu was not as good as himself.

However, now, Lu Yu is far ahead in spirit power level, which makes Tang San feel a little difficult to accept.

Yu Xiaogang seemed to see through Tang San's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said gently: "Xiao San, you don't have to be so obsessed with the spirit power level.

The speed of improving cultivation in the early stage is already relatively fast, not to mention that Lu Yu seems to only know how to work behind closed doors and devote all his time to cultivation.

In addition, he has innate full soul power, so his training speed will naturally be faster."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang paused, as if recalling something: "The last time we went to the Soul Hunting Forest, I heard from the guards there that a child entered the forest alone to obtain a soul ring.

I guess that person is talking about Lu Yu."

“He has just awakened his martial spirit, so there is no way he can be a match for a hundred-year-old spirit beast.

Presumably his first spirit ring was only a ten-year spirit ring.

Such a starting point destined him to have limited achievements.”

Having said that, Yu Xiaogang put down the book in his hand again, with a more confident smile on his face: "Xiao San, when Lu Yu gets his second spirit ring and comes back, you can go and learn from him.

You practice hammering skills in the blacksmith shop every day, which makes your physical fitness far surpass that of soul masters of the same age.

Plus, your first spirit ring is a spirit ring of the best age..."

"Believe me, even if he succeeds and obtains the second spirit ring, he will definitely not be your opponent due to his lack of combat experience!"

After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San's depression was relieved.

He nodded, his expression becoming firm: "Teacher, I'm going to the blacksmith shop."

After saying that, Tang San turned and left the office, walking towards the blacksmith shop.

Along the way, Yu Xiaogang's words kept echoing in his mind. He secretly made up his mind to work harder in his training and strive to catch up with Lu Yu as soon as possible, or even surpass him.
