Chapter 437 Attempting to launch a counterattack!

Prince Xuexing walked slowly from the other side of the lake. His luxurious robe made him particularly dazzling in the morning light. Although his steps seemed casual, he was invisibly majestic. His eyes fell on Lu Yu, and after a pause, he chuckled.

"Old Poison Man, is this young man the genius you have always mentioned?" Prince Xuexing's voice was low, but it had a unique magnetism.

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, without turning his head, still looking at Lu Yu, "What? You don't believe in my judgment?"

"Of course I believe in your judgment." Prince Xuexing raised his lips slightly, and said in a teasing tone, "But you old man always like to exaggerate. Today I want to see with my own eyes whether this kid is a genius as you said."

Dugu Bo ignored him and said calmly, "Wait a moment. He is consolidating his soul power. When he finishes, you will understand."

Hearing Dugu Bo's firm tone, Prince Xuexing couldn't help but look at Lu Yu a few more times. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "This child is only just fifteen years old, right? The fluctuation of soul power is so pure... Could it be that he has already broken through to the Soul Sect?"

Dugu Bo's mouth curled up into a smug smile, "What's a mere Soul Sect? He broke through to the Soul Sect half a year ago."

Prince Xuexing's eyes suddenly became sharp when he heard this. He stared at Lu Yu's back, a hint of disbelief flashed across his eyes, "He's already a Soul Sect at the age of fifteen? He broke through half a year ago? Old Poison, don't tell me he's close to a Soul King now."

Dugu Bo didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

For a moment, Prince Xue Xing was speechless. As a prince of the Tiandou Empire, he had seen countless geniuses, but Lu Yu's cultivation speed was indeed the only one he had ever seen.

"No wonder you think so highly of this kid." After a moment of silence, Prince Xuexing said in a complicated tone, "With such talent, if nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid he will really make a splash in the future All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

"Humph, not an overnight success." Dugu Bo sneered, "With his talent and growth rate, I dare say that he will definitely be one of the strongest contenders for the championship in the future All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

Prince Xuexing did not refute, but nodded, "That's true." He paused, as if he remembered something, frowned and asked, "But I'm very curious. What is this kid's martial spirit? Or, is he the successor of your poison-type martial spirit?"

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Bullshit! This kid's martial spirit has nothing to do with me. But you have seen a lot of strange martial spirits, guess what?"

Prince Xue Xing's gaze fell back on Lu Yu. He observed him carefully for a moment, but his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "I can't see through it... This child's soul power fluctuations are extremely even, and it doesn't seem to have any attribute tendencies. It doesn't look like an ordinary beast martial soul or weapon martial soul. This martial soul... is a bit interesting."

Dugu Bo smiled even more proudly, "Of course it's interesting. This kid's martial spirit is the 'Hunyuan Combat Body'."

"Hunyuan Combat Body?" Prince Xuexing was stunned for a moment, obviously hearing this name for the first time.

"An extremely rare innate physical martial soul that can perfectly integrate soul skills of various attributes, and can absorb soul power of any attribute to the limit." Dugu Bo said slowly, with a bit of emotion in his tone, "More importantly, his martial soul has a peculiar training characteristic. The more powerful the soul beast, the more it can help him break through his own limits. In other words, his growth space is almost unlimited."

Prince Xuexing was stunned and did not speak for a long time. He looked at Lu Yu with a hint of awe and shock.

At this time, Lu Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed across his pupils. He exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the fluctuations of the soul power around him subsided, and the aura of the whole person seemed deeper and more restrained.

Lu Yu stood up and bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo and Prince Xuexing, "Master, Senior Xuexing."

Dugu Bo nodded, and then asked, "How was the training just now?"

Lu Yu smiled slightly, his tone calm but full of confidence, "I have just broken through to level 46."

As soon as these words came out, Prince Xuexing suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the shock on his face could no longer be concealed. He subconsciously murmured, "Level 46... He's only 15 years old..."

Dugu Bo glanced at him, feeling secretly happy, but he remained calm, "How is it? Do you believe in my judgment now?"

Prince Xuexing ignored his pride and walked straight to Lu Yu, looking at him with complicated eyes, and his tone was a little more serious, "Lu Yu, do you know what your talent means now?"

Lu Yu raised his head, his eyes clear and firm, "Senior, talent is just the starting point, the future depends on your own efforts."

Prince Xuexing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter, "What a talent is just the starting point! It seems that this old poisoner was right about you. Not only do you have an outstanding talent, but your character is also very rare."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly and muttered, "Do you need to tell me that? How could the person I like be bad?"

Lu Yu looked at Dugu Bo helplessly, but didn't say anything.

Prince Xuexing looked at him, and gradually a look of admiration appeared on his face. "Lu Yu, which college are you in now?"

"Shrek Academy." Lu Yu answered truthfully.

"Oh? Is it the small academy famous for its monsters?" Prince Xuexing raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded, "That's appropriate. People like you should really be with those monsters."

Dugu Bo sneered, "Humph, among those little monsters, only Tang San and Dai Mubai can compete with him to some extent, the others can't compare at all."

Prince Xuexing did not respond, but turned to Lu Yu and said earnestly, "Lu Yu, the road ahead is still long, but you must remember one thing, the higher the talent, the greater the pressure. I hope you can stick to your original intention and not be bound by the eyes and expectations of the outside world."

Lu Yu nodded seriously, "Thank you for your teachings, I will keep it in mind."

Prince Xuexing nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at Dugu Bo again, "Old Poison, this child is indeed a treasure. It seems that you, an old man, have found a treasure."

Dugu Bo snorted lightly, but his eyes were full of pride, "Of course."

The three chatted for a while, and Dugu Bo and Prince Xuexing couldn't help but start to make suggestions for Lu Yu's future development, while Lu Yu stood quietly aside, listening carefully to the advice of the two seniors.

The morning sun gradually became brighter, shining on the lake, sparkling, as if adding a layer of soft brilliance to this quiet land. And under this sun, a young man who was destined to set off a huge wave in the world of soul masters was quietly accumulating his own strength.

In the fighting arena, the noisy audience was cheering enthusiastically for the final, and thousands of eyes were staring at the two people in the center of the ring. Lu Yu, dressed in a black combat uniform, stood there calmly and indifferently. His hands fell to his sides, and he didn't seem to be nervous at all. On the other side, Zhang Fang had short silver hair, a slightly arrogant smile on his face, and a provocative look in his eyes.

The referee stood in the middle of the field and announced loudly: "Final! Lu Yu vs. Zhang Fang! Both sides get ready!"

Zhang Fang raised his eyebrows and spoke first: "Lu Yu, right? I heard that you won several games in a row in the previous competitions and defeated several Soul Masters. But unfortunately, you are facing me today, and you are bound to lose this game."

Lu Yu remained calm, looking at the other person calmly, and said in a flat voice: "The result is not something that can be told with words."

Zhang Fang sneered: "Ha, you are quite calm. But you won't have so much to say later."

Seeing that the two had no intention of continuing the conversation, the referee raised his hand high and said, "The game begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fang released his martial spirit without hesitation. Behind him, a pair of transparent wings instantly spread out, emitting a faint blue light. At the same time, four spirit rings rose from under his feet, yellow and purple, extremely dazzling.

"Flying martial soul..." Lu Yu thought to himself. He had known Zhang Fang's martial soul for a long time. It was a rare soul beast martial soul named "Swift Wind Wing Bird", which not only gave Zhang Fang the ability to fly, but also gave him a great advantage in speed.

Zhang Fang jumped lightly, and the whole person quickly rose up into the air. His voice came from the air, with a bit of pride: "How is it? I know you are a close combat spirit master, but unfortunately, I won't fall for your trick. You can't reach me in the air."

Lu Yu's face was normal, and four soul rings slowly emerged under his feet, yellow and purple, the same configuration as Zhang Fang. He did not rush to attack, but lowered his body slightly, ready for battle.

"First soul skill! Wind Blade!"

Zhang Fang's first soul ring suddenly lit up, and he flapped his wings, and several sharp wind blades flew out from his wings, heading straight for Lu Yu. The wind blades broke through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Lu Yu did not dodge or evade. He formed seals with his hands in front of him, and his second soul ring lit up: "Second soul skill! Black Tortoise Shield!"

A light blue translucent shield appeared in front of him. When the wind blade hit the shield, a muffled "bang bang" sound was heard, but the shield did not move at all.

Zhang Fang raised his eyebrows in mid-air and snorted coldly: "Interesting, let's see how long you can hold out! Second soul skill! Wind pursuit!"

His second soul ring lit up, and his wings suddenly spread out. Two thicker wind blades were swung out from the wings. Unlike the previous wind blades, this time the wind blades actually drew an arc in the air and came straight towards Lu Yu as if tracking him.

Lu Yu's expression remained unchanged. He stepped on the ground, his figure flashed, and he narrowly avoided the wind blade that was chasing him. At the same time, his third soul ring lit up.

"Third soul skill! Black Tortoise stab!"

A blue shadow instantly condensed on Lu Yu's fist, and he rushed out suddenly, heading straight for Zhang Fang. However, Zhang Fang was in the air, and he just flapped his wings lightly and retreated, easily avoiding Lu Yu's attack.

"Hahaha, what do you think? Melee soul masters are so powerless against flying soul masters!" Zhang Fang laughed in the air, his tone full of sarcasm.

Lu Yu did not speak, his eyes remained calm. His fourth soul ring slowly lit up: "Fourth soul skill! Xuanwu Waters!"

As the soul skill was released, a large amount of water mist suddenly appeared in the air above the ring. The water mist quickly condensed and formed a small area of ​​water, covering the entire ring. The area of ​​the water was not high, but it was enough to make Zhang Fang feel threatened.

"Is this... a domain skill?" Zhang Fang's smile froze slightly. He could feel that his speed seemed to be slightly affected in this area of ​​water, while Lu Yu's movements became more agile.

The corners of Lu Yu's mouth slightly raised: "Aren't you flying very fast? Keep going."

"Hmph, don't be so proud! Third soul skill! Wind Dance!"

Zhang Fang snorted coldly, and his third soul ring lit up. He quickly circled in the air, forming a tornado-like airflow. This airflow quickly dispersed the mist and even forced Lu Yu to retreat again and again.

"The flying ability is indeed very strong." Lu Yu whispered, "But do you think you can win like this?"

"What?" Zhang Fang was stunned.

At this moment, Lu Yu's figure suddenly disappeared!

"Not good!" Zhang Fang was shocked, and his eyes quickly looked for Lu Yu's figure. However, when he saw Lu Yu, the latter had already appeared above his head, with a deep blue energy condensed in his hands.

"Fourth soul skill! Xuanwu suppression!"

This blow carried a heavy aura, like a huge water-blue rock, smashing towards Zhang Fang.

"Damn it! Fourth soul skill! Gale barrier!"

Zhang Fang shouted loudly, crossed his wings in front of him, and a green barrier quickly appeared, colliding with Lu Yu's attack. However, this collision was not as easy as he imagined.

"boom!"

A huge shock wave erupted, and Zhang Fang's body was shaken and flew backwards continuously, and he even had difficulty keeping his body steady for a while.

"How is this possible?!" Zhang Fang was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Yu's attack to be so powerful that it broke through his defense directly.

Lu Yu looked at him coldly: "Flying soul masters are indeed strong, but your weaknesses are too obvious."

"Weakness?!" Zhang Fang shouted angrily, "What are you talking about!"

"You can indeed dodge attacks easily in the air, but as long as your speed is restricted, your so-called advantage will no longer exist."

Blue energy condensed in Lu Yu's hands again. He stepped on the ground and his figure soared into the sky like a cannonball.

"Xuanwu Waters! Open again!"

The mist filled the air again, and this time, Zhang Fang's movements were even slower. His speed was weakened, and his reaction was also a beat slower.

"Damn it! Get out of here!" Zhang Fang shouted angrily, and his fourth soul ring lit up again, trying to launch a counterattack.

However, Lu Yu was faster and his fist had already hit his chest.

"boom!"

Zhang Fang's figure fell straight down from the sky like a kite with a broken string, and landed heavily on the ring. He tried to struggle to stand up, but just after raising half of his body, he fell down again powerlessly.

The referee stepped forward and announced the result: "Winner! Lu Yu!"

The whole audience was silent, and then burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

Lu Yu stood in the middle of the ring, looked down at the fallen Zhang Fang, and said softly: "Flying spirit masters are indeed powerful, but they are not invincible."

After saying this, he turned and left, leaving the whole audience in amazement and shock.
