Chapter 453: Mid-Soul King Level!

On the other side, after Dugu Yan washed Lu Yu's clothes, she sat alone in the room in a daze.

Recalling what just happened, a blush appeared on her face.

In fact, she had already developed feelings for Lu Yu, but due to her face and status, she had never revealed it.

When she saw Lu Yu drunk yesterday, she felt a little sorry for him, so she wanted to take this opportunity to do something to help him.

But I didn't expect that he would wake up just after I helped him take off his coat, and even misunderstood me...

"Oh, I hope he doesn't hate me."

Dugu Yan sighed softly, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

……

Time flies, and soon it is night.

After Lu Yu changed his clothes, he went to the cafeteria to eat.

As soon as he walked into the cafeteria, he saw Dugu Yan sitting in the corner.

At this moment, she was eating with her head down, looking a little lonely and depressed.

"Sister Yan, why are you eating here alone?"

Lu Yu walked over to Dugu Yan and sat down, asking with concern.

"Huh? Oh, nothing, I just..."

Dugu Yan looked up at Lu Yu and was about to say something, but didn't know how to start.

"Are you still mad at me because of what happened this morning?"

Seeing Dugu Yan hesitant to speak, Lu Yu immediately understood something.

"Nothing happened. Don't think too much about it."

Dugu Yan shook her head and forced a smile.

"Actually, I didn't take what happened this morning to heart, so don't blame yourself too much."

As Lu Yu spoke, he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Duguyan's bowl, "Come on, eat more meat, you are too thin."

"Um……"

Seeing that Lu Yu did not blame her, Dugu Yan's mood suddenly improved a lot.

She looked at the braised pork in the bowl and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that Lu Yu was comforting herself in his own way.

"By the way, Sister Yan, are you free tonight? I'd like to ask you for a favor."

After finishing the meal, Lu Yu suddenly spoke to Dugu Yan.

"Help? What are you doing?"

Dugu Yan looked at Lu Yu with some confusion.

"Well, I've been researching a new herb lately, but I'm lacking some materials, so..."

"Okay, no problem, I'll go and help you prepare it."

Without waiting for Lu Yu to finish his words, Dugu Yan agreed immediately.

She knew that Lu Yu was deliberately looking for topics to chat with her in order to ease the awkward atmosphere between them.

So she cooperated and took over the topic and started chatting with Lu Yu.

The two walked and chatted, and soon arrived in front of the college's warehouse.

"Wait here for me, I'll go get the materials."

Dugu Yan said something to Lu Yu, then walked into the warehouse.

After a while, she came out of the warehouse with a package in her hand.

"Here, this is the material you requested. See if it's enough."

Dugu Yan handed the package to Lu Yu and looked at him expectantly.

"That's enough, thank you so much, Sister Yan."

Lu Yu opened the package and took a look. He found that the materials inside were exactly what he needed, and he couldn't help but feel touched.

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you."

Duguyan smiled, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what herb are you going to study?"

"Oh, this..."

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell Dugu Yan the truth, "Actually, I'm researching a kind of herb that can improve the cultivation of soul masters."

"What? A herb that improves a soul master's cultivation?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Dugu Yan couldn't help but widen her eyes.

You know, on Douluo Continent, it is extremely difficult for a soul master to improve his cultivation.

Apart from obtaining soul rings and soul bones through cultivation and hunting soul beasts, there are almost no other ways to improve one's cultivation.

And now, Lu Yu actually said that he had developed a medicinal herb that could improve the cultivation level of soul masters. How could she not be shocked?

"Yes, and the effect of this herb is quite good. I have tried it myself."

As Lu Yu spoke, he demonstrated his cultivation to Dugu Yan.

"This...this is actually true!"

Seeing that Lu Yu's cultivation had actually improved, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a little bit unbelievable.

You know, she saw with her own eyes how Lu Yu grew from an ordinary person to where he is today.

And now, his cultivation has actually improved again. How could this not shock her?

"Sister Yan, don't worry. Once I research more medicinal herbs, I will definitely help you improve your cultivation."

Lu Yu patted Dugu Yan's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Well, I believe you."

Dugu Yan nodded heavily, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She knew that Lu Yu was never a boastful person.

Since he said that he could research herbs that could improve the cultivation level of soul masters, then he would definitely be able to do it!

……

In the following days, Lu Yu devoted himself to the study of medicinal herbs.

Dugu Yan was not idle either. She came to help Lu Yu every day and did things within her ability.

As the two spent more time together, their feelings gradually warmed up.

Although neither of them said it explicitly, they already understood each other's intentions in their hearts.

However, just as their relationship was heating up, an accident suddenly happened.

That night, Lu Yu was studying herbs in his room when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

He frowned, walked out of the room and saw that it was Dugu Bo who brought a group of people to cause trouble for him.

"Boy, are you Lu Yu?"

After seeing Lu Yu, Dugu Bo looked him up and down, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Yes, I am Lu Yu. What do you want from me?"

Lu Yu looked at Dugu Bo and asked calmly.

"Hmph, I heard that you have researched a kind of herb that can improve the cultivation of soul masters. Is that true?"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

"It's true."

Lu Yu nodded and admitted it.

"Okay! Then hand over this herb and I can spare your life!"

Dugu Bo was overjoyed when he heard this and reached out to grab Lu Yu.

"Humph, you think you can steal my herbs?"

Lu Yu snorted coldly and dodged Dugu Bo's attack with a flash of his body.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

Seeing that Lu Yu dared to hide, Dugu Bo became furious and attacked Lu Yu again.

However, Lu Yu is no longer the same person as before.

His cultivation had risen to the Soul Master level, and coupled with his knowledge of various herbs, he had an absolute advantage in battle.

After several rounds, Dugu Bo was beaten back by Lu Yu.

"Huh, you think you can steal my herbs with just this little ability?"

Lu Yu looked at Dugu Bo lying on the ground and sneered disdainfully.

"You...how dare you hurt me!"

Dugu Bo got up from the ground and looked at Lu Yu with eyes full of resentment and anger.

"So what if I hurt you? Today I will let you know what it means that there are always people who are better than you!"

As Lu Yu said this, he attacked Dugu Bo again.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of Dugu Bo.

"stop!"

The person who came was Dugu Yan!

"Sister Yan, you..."

Lu Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Dugu Yan suddenly standing in front of him.

"Lu Yu, I beg you, don't hurt my grandpa."

Dugu Yan looked at Lu Yu, her eyes full of pleading and pleading.

"But, he..."

Lu Yu wanted to say something, but after seeing Dugu Yan's pleading eyes, he finally swallowed his words back.

"Forget it. I'll spare his life today for your sake."

Lu Yu snorted coldly and retracted his attack.

"Thank you."

Dugu Yan was relieved when she saw that Lu Yu was willing to let her grandfather go.

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

"Humph, this is ridiculous! None of you will leave alive today!"

Everyone was startled when they heard the words and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a woman in black clothes and a black veil walking slowly.

"Lu Yu, your performance in the Soul Master Competition this time was very good. Our academy has specially prepared a reward for you." The person at the academic affairs meeting said to Lu Yu.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel curious and wondered what kind of reward the academy would give him.

"Oh? I wonder what the reward is?" Lu Yu asked.

The person at the academic affairs meeting smiled and said, "You won the championship in the Soul Master Competition this time. Our academy has decided to reward you with 100,000 gold soul coins. In addition, you will receive 10,000 gold soul coins as a training subsidy for this month, for a total of 110,000 gold soul coins."

"One hundred and ten thousand gold soul coins?" Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that.

He didn't expect that the academy would reward him with so many gold soul coins. This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him.

You know, although he had earned a lot of gold soul coins before, most of them were used to buy cultivation resources and medicinal materials, and he didn't have much savings.

And these 110,000 gold soul coins are enough for him to buy more cultivation resources and medicinal materials, allowing him to further improve his cultivation.

"Thank you, academy." Lu Yu said gratefully.

The person at the Academic Affairs Meeting waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. This is what you deserve. In addition, the college also plans to let you serve as a tutor for the senior class of the external college. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Serve as a mentor?" Lu Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the academy would let him be a mentor. After all, he is still just a student.

However, Lu Yu changed his mind and understood the academy's intention.

The academy let him be a mentor, on the one hand, it was a recognition of him, and on the other hand, it was also hoped that he could pass on what he learned in the Soul Master Competition to other students.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Lu Yu.

After all, although his current cultivation has reached the Soul King level, there is still a big gap compared to those strong men of the older generation.

Serving as a mentor not only gives him more opportunities to interact with other students, but also allows him to consolidate his own skills in the process of imparting experience.

"I do." Lu Yu said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, the people at the academic affairs meeting nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, then you can report to the advanced class tomorrow. In addition, this is your reward and training subsidy, please keep it."

As he spoke, the person from the academic affairs meeting handed a storage bag to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took the storage bag, scanned it with his mind, and found that there were indeed 110,000 gold soul coins inside.

"Thank you." Lu Yu thanked again.

The person at the academic affairs meeting smiled and said, "You're welcome. Go back and prepare. You can report to the advanced class tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, then turned and left the academic affairs meeting room.

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Yu took out the gold soul coins from the storage bag, counted them, and found that there were exactly 110,000 gold soul coins.

"Combining my previous savings, I now have a total of 120,000 gold soul coins." Lu Yu said to himself.

One hundred and twenty thousand gold soul coins is already a huge sum of money for an ordinary soul master.

But for Lu Yu, this is far from enough.

After all, if he wanted to improve his cultivation, he would need to purchase a large amount of cultivation resources and medicinal materials.

These cultivation resources and medicinal materials often require a large amount of gold soul coins.

"It seems that I need to find a way to earn more gold soul coins." Lu Yu said to himself.

However, Lu Yu also knew that earning gold soul coins was not an easy task.

After all, gold soul coins are very precious currency in Douluo Continent.

If you want to earn gold soul coins, you need to pay the corresponding price.

"Forget it. Things will work out when the time comes. I'd better think about how to spend these gold soul coins first." Lu Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about earning gold soul coins.

Lu Yu put away the 110,000 gold soul coins, and then took out the medicinal herbs and cultivation resources he had purchased before.

These medicinal herbs and cultivation resources were specially purchased by Lu Yu in order to improve his cultivation.

However, since Lu Yu did not have much savings before, he did not buy many medicinal herbs and cultivation resources.

But now, Lu Yu has 120,000 gold soul coins, so he can buy more medicinal herbs and cultivation resources.

Lu Yu looked at the medicinal herbs and cultivation resources in front of him and couldn't help feeling excited.

As long as he can absorb all these medicinal herbs and cultivation resources, his cultivation will definitely be improved again.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu no longer hesitated. He took out all the medicinal herbs and cultivation resources and began to practice.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, quickly forming seals with his hands, refining all the medicinal herbs and cultivation resources.

As Lu Yu practiced, the energy of heaven and earth in the room began to become richer.

All of these vital energies of heaven and earth were released by Lu Yu in the process of refining medicinal materials and practicing resources.

Lu Yu, on the other hand, used the vital energy of heaven and earth to improve his cultivation.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

Lu Yu also woke up from his training. He felt the surging power in his body and couldn't help feeling excited.

"My current cultivation level should have reached the middle stage of Soul King, right?" Lu Yu said to himself.

Lu Yu knew that the reason why he was able to reach the middle stage of Soul King so quickly, in addition to his own extraordinary talent, was also closely related to the medicinal herbs and cultivation resources he took.

After all, those medicinal herbs and cultivation resources were all purchased by Lu Yu at a huge price.

Their medicinal effects are naturally very strong.
