Chapter 479 Conducting a Practical Exercise

Lu Yu decided to take advantage of the Dark Scale Bear's slow speed and adopt guerrilla tactics to slowly consume its physical strength, and then look for an opportunity to kill it with one blow!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu no longer hesitated, and with a flash of his body, he rushed towards the Dark Scale Bear.

"Roar!"

When the Dark Scale Bear saw Lu Yu rushing towards him, he immediately let out a roar and pounced towards Lu Yu.

Seeing this, Lu Yu turned his body in the air and avoided the attack of the Dark Scale Bear. At the same time, he blasted towards the Dark Scale Bear with a soul skill.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Dark Scale Bear was blasted backwards by Lu Yu's soul skill and fell heavily to the ground.

However, the Dark Scale Bear had extremely strong defense. Although this attack caused it to suffer a little, it did not cause any substantial damage to it.

The dark-scaled bear crawled up from the ground, staring at Lu Yu with eyes full of anger and murderous intent.

Lu Yu looked at the dark-scaled bear, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he said, "Humph, with your speed, you still want to catch up with me?"

After saying that, Lu Yu flashed and rushed towards the Dark Scaled Bear again.

In the following time, Lu Yu and the Dark Scale Bear engaged in a fierce battle.

Lu Yu took advantage of his fast speed and constantly dodged the Dark Scale Bear's attacks, while looking for opportunities to launch a counterattack.

Although the Dark Scale Bear has extremely strong defense, its speed is its weakness. Under Lu Yu's guerrilla tactics, it could not touch Lu Yu at all and was instead beaten back by Lu Yu.

"Roar!"

The Dark Scale Bear roared, as if venting its anger and unwillingness.

However, at this moment, Lu Yu found an opportunity and blasted towards the Dark Scaled Bear with a powerful soul skill.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Dark Scale Bear was severely injured by Lu Yu's soul skill and fell to the ground, with no life left.

Looking at the fallen Dark Scale Bear, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

Although the battle was somewhat difficult, he finally succeeded in killing the Dark Scale Bear and obtained the fourth soul ring!

Next, Lu Yu began to absorb the soul ring.

Accompanied by a flash of light, the Dark Scale Bear's soul ring was successfully absorbed by Lu Yu.

"The fourth soul ring, the thousand-year soul ring, not bad." Lu Yu felt the increased power in his body and nodded with satisfaction.

After obtaining the fourth soul ring, Lu Yu's strength was improved again.

Now, he already possesses four thousand-year spirit rings, and his strength is enough to rival some ordinary soul masters!

"Next, it's time to go back." Lu Yu muttered to himself.

After saying that, Lu Yu turned around and left the Star Dou Great Forest, flying towards Shrek Academy.

……

a few days later.

Shrek Academy.

"Lu Yu, you're back." Flanders said with a smile as he looked at Lu Yu who walked into the office.

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded and said, "Well, Dean, I'm back."

Flanders looked at Lu Yu and asked, "How is it? Did you get the spirit ring smoothly?"

Lu Yu said truthfully: "It went smoothly. I have successfully obtained the fourth spirit ring."

"That's good." Flanders nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Zhao Wuji also walked into the office, looked at Lu Yu, and said: "Lu Yu, I heard that you got the fourth spirit ring. Your strength has improved a lot, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Luckily, I made some breakthroughs."

Zhao Wuji laughed when he heard this and said, "Okay, improving your strength is a good thing.

"Old man, come with me. I will naturally do what I promised you." Lu Yu said lightly to the old man.

The old man nodded slightly and followed Lu Yu towards the interior of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The two came to a relatively empty place. Lu Yu stopped, turned to look at the old man, and said, "Old man, do you have any last words?"

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "My dear friend Lu Yu, I have no regrets in my life to have a successor like you. Let's get started!"

Lu Yu looked at the old man's calm expression, and his heart was slightly moved. Then he took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu's soul power surged, and soul rings appeared. Two yellow and one purple, the three soul rings moved rhythmically around his body, emitting dazzling light.

When the old man saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Lu Yu had three soul rings at such a young age, and the third soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring. This kind of talent was truly terrifying.

However, although he was surprised, the old man did not say much. He just stood there quietly, waiting for Lu Yu's next move.

Lu Yu quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered, "In my name, summon the spirit ring and make a sacrifice!"

As Lu Yu finished speaking, the soul ring above his head suddenly shone brightly, and then a black halo slowly separated from the soul ring and floated towards the old man.

The old man looked at the black halo floating towards him, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and the soul power in his body surged, and he took the initiative to meet it.

The moment the black halo came into contact with the old man, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from the old man, and a black light surged out of his body, enveloping him entirely.

At the same time, a huge tiger-shaped shadow slowly condensed behind the old man, emitting a deafening tiger roar, shaking the surrounding trees.

"This is……"

Lu Yu looked at the changes in the old man with surprise on his face. He didn't expect that the old man would burst out with such a powerful aura, and the tiger-shaped phantom gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

At this moment, the black light on the old man's body suddenly converged, and the tiger-shaped shadow also dissipated. The old man's body reappeared, but this time, he looked even more unreal, as if he would disappear at any time.

"Young friend Lu Yu, let's do it!" The old man looked at Lu Yu and said weakly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded slightly and formed seals with his hands again, preparing to guide the soul ring to merge with the old man's soul.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, a powerful soul power burst out from the old man, and then his body began to expand, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a huge black tiger.

"Roar!"

The black tiger let out a deafening roar, its eyes were red, staring at Lu Yu intently, emitting a strong murderous intent.

"How is this going?"

Lu Yu looked at the old man who suddenly turned into a tiger with an expression of disbelief on his face. He did not expect that the old man would undergo such a huge change at the critical moment.

"My dear friend Lu Yu, my true identity is a thousand-year-old soul beast in the Xingdou Great Forest, the Black Tiger King! The reason why I chose to sacrifice myself is, firstly, to break through my own shackles, and secondly, I am impressed by your talent and character. I hope that you can continue to live for me and protect this forest!"

An old man's hoarse voice came out of the tiger's mouth, and Lu Yu couldn't help but feel slightly moved when he heard it.

It turned out that the old man was not a real human being, but a thousand-year-old soul beast. No wonder he had such powerful strength and momentum.

"Don't worry, I will protect this forest for you." Lu Yu looked at the tiger and said firmly.

When the tiger heard this, a look of relief flashed in his eyes. Then he let out another deafening roar and pounced towards Lu Yu.

Seeing this, Lu Yu did not dare to be careless. The soul power in his body surged and he quickly retreated. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands, preparing to deal with the tiger's attack.

However, what surprised Lu Yu was that the tiger suddenly stopped when it was about to pounce on him, and its pair of red eyes stared at him closely, as if saying its final farewell.

"Young friend Lu Yu, go ahead. I'm ready." The old man's voice came out of the tiger's mouth again.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with his hands, and guided the black soul ring above his head towards the tiger.

The moment the black soul ring came into contact with the tiger, a strong black light burst out from the tiger's body again. Then, its body began to gradually dissipate, turning into points of light and merging into the black soul ring.

At the same time, Lu Yu only felt a powerful force pouring into his body from the black soul ring, and his cultivation level was actually showing signs of breaking through at this moment.

Lu Yu was delighted and immediately sat down cross-legged and began to practice Xuantian Gong, absorbing the power in the soul ring.

Time passed by minute by minute. It was unknown how long it had been. When Lu Yu opened his eyes again, his cultivation had successfully broken through to level 35. Moreover, his fourth soul ring had also been successfully absorbed. It was a thousand-year-old black soul ring.

Lu Yu stood up, feeling the surging soul power in his body, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that this sacrifice has brought me great benefits." Lu Yu murmured to himself.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Lu Yu's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully absorbing the Millennium Spirit Ring. As a reward, the host's spirit power level is increased by one level. The current spirit power level is: Level 36."

Hearing the system prompt, Lu Yu couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He didn't expect that absorbing the soul ring this time could trigger a system reward, and the reward was so generous that it directly increased his soul power level by one level.

"Not bad, not bad." Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction, then turned and walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, Lu Yu relied on his powerful strength and keen perception to avoid many ferocious soul beasts and successfully walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

When Lu Yu walked out of the Star Forest, the sky had gradually darkened. A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting soft moonlight.

"It seems that I can't go back to the college today. I can only find a place nearby to rest for a night and go back to the college tomorrow." Lu Yu looked at the sky and muttered to himself.

Then, Lu Yu found a relatively secluded place nearby, set up a simple defensive formation, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice.

Silent all night.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight fell on the earth, Lu Yu woke up from his practice, packed up, and walked towards the direction of Shrek Academy.

After half a day's journey, Lu Yu finally returned to Shrek Academy.

When he walked into the college gate, he happened to meet Dean Flanders.

"Dean Flanders." Lu Yu looked at Flanders and greeted him with a smile.

Flanders looked at Lu Yu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said: "Lu Yu, you are back? How was it, did the soul ring hunting go smoothly this time?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "It went very smoothly. I have successfully absorbed a thousand-year spirit ring."

"Millennium soul ring?" Flanders' face showed surprise when he heard this. He didn't expect that Lu Yu could absorb a Millennium soul ring so quickly. This kind of talent is really terrifying.

"Good, good, Lu Yu, your talent is indeed extraordinary. I believe that in time, you will become a strong man." Flanders looked at Lu Yu with admiration in his eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled modestly and said, "President Flanders, thank you for your praise. I still need to continue to work hard."

Upon hearing this, Flanders nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and said, "By the way, Lu Yu, the academy will hold a combat exercise in a few days. You and the Shrek Seven Devils should participate then."

"Actual combat drill?" Lu Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Okay, Dean Flanders, I will participate."

Seeing this, Flanders nodded with satisfaction, then patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and said, "Then you go and rest first. I will notify you when the drill starts."

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the dormitory.

In the next few days, Lu Yu stayed in the dormitory to practice and consolidate his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the actual combat exercise arrived.

On this day, many students and teachers gathered on the playground of Shrek Academy, and everyone was looking forward to this actual combat exercise.

Dean Flanders stood on the high platform in the middle of the playground, looking at the students below, and said loudly: "Today, our Shrek Academy is holding a practical exercise. The purpose is to test everyone's training results during this period of time. At the same time, it is also to make everyone more familiar with each other's fighting methods and prepare for future competitions."

"Now, I declare that the actual combat drill officially begins!"

As Dean Flanders finished speaking, the students began to form teams and prepare to participate in the actual combat drill.

Looking at the lively crowd, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little excited. He had never participated in such a combat exercise before, and he didn't know what the scene would be like.

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded in Lu Yu's ears.

"Lu Yu, come with me."

Hearing this, Lu Yu turned around and saw Ning Rongrong looking at him with a smile.

"Okay." Lu Yu nodded with a smile. He didn't have too many requirements about who he would be in a group with. Anyway, his strength was there, and he could exert strong combat effectiveness no matter who he was in a group with.

Seeing Lu Yu agreed, Ning Rongrong showed a happy smile on her face, and then pulled Lu Yu to one side of the playground.

Soon, the students formed teams and began practical exercises.

Lu Yu and Ning Rongrong were in a team, fighting against Oscar and Dai Mubai.

"Lu Yu, be careful, Dai Mubai is very strong." Ning Rongrong looked at Dai Mubai opposite and whispered to Lu Yu.

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I won't be careless."

As soon as the words fell, both sides launched attacks at the same time.

Dai Mubai transformed into a white tiger and pounced towards Lu Yu, exuding a strong murderous intent.

Seeing this, Lu Yu quickly retreated, forming seals with his hands, and muttered: "First Soul Skill, Shadow Clone!"

As Lu Yu finished speaking, his figure suddenly became illusory. Then, countless Lu Yu figures flashed quickly on the playground, dazzling people.

"This is……"

Dai Mubai looked at the countless figures of Lu Yu in front of him.

Lu Yu, Gu Yuena and others were walking on the road to the Spirit Hall. The surrounding scenery passed by quickly, but their steps were extremely firm. Everyone's heart was full of expectations and curiosity about the Spirit Hall. After all, it was the power center of the entire Douluo Continent and the holy land that all soul masters dreamed of.
