Chapter 480: Fierce Fight
Suddenly, Lu Yu paused for a moment, and he felt an evil aura approaching quietly. This aura was cold and cunning, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
"Everyone be careful, something's happening." Lu Yu reminded in a low voice, his eyes became sharp and he began to observe his surroundings vigilantly.
Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing and others immediately became alert upon hearing this. They released their own soul power and formed a solid protective shield.
At this moment, a black shadow rushed out from the woods next to him, so fast that it was like a ghost. The target of this black shadow was Lu Yu. He held a bead emitting a strong dark aura in his hand and rushed straight to Lu Yu's forehead.
"Humph, you want to plot against me?" Lu Yu snorted coldly, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind the black shadow. He grabbed the black shadow's shoulder, swung it hard, and slammed it heavily to the ground.
"Ah!" The black shadow screamed and rolled on the ground for several times before stopping. He struggled to get up, revealing an old and hideous face.
"Who are you? Why are you plotting against me?" Lu Yu looked at the old man coldly, his tone full of chillness.
The old man raised his head, his eyes flashing with resentment: "Boy, you shouldn't have such a powerful martial spirit. Today, I will make your martial spirit mine."
Hearing the old man's words, Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Just you? You also want to take over my martial soul? What a fantasy."
The old man's face became more ferocious when he heard this: "Boy, don't be complacent. It took me decades to refine this dark bead, and it contains endless dark power. As long as I inject it into your body, your martial spirit will become my puppet."
As he spoke, the old man rushed towards Lu Yu again, the dark bead in his hand flashing with a strange light.
Seeing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a nameless fire rising in his heart. He snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and a golden light instantly burst out from his palm and went straight to the old man.
"boom!"
The golden light collided with the dark bead in the old man's hand, making a deafening noise. The powerful force spread out in all directions, shaking the surrounding trees to the ground.
The old man was shocked by this force and retreated repeatedly, his face turned extremely pale. He looked at Lu Yu in disbelief, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness: "You...how can you be so powerful?"
Lu Yu did not answer, but just looked at the old man coldly. At this moment, he suddenly found that the Fantian Seal in his hand began to tremble slightly. The trembling became more and more intense, as if something was stirring inside.
"Huh? What's going on?" Lu Yu was shocked and quickly focused his attention on the Fantian Seal.
At this moment, he was surprised to find that the dark bead that the old man used to plot against him had been integrated into the Fantian Seal without him noticing. The dark power in the bead and the golden light of the Fantian Seal intertwined to form a strange picture.
"This...what's going on?" Lu Yu looked at the Fantian Seal in his hand, his heart full of confusion and shock.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful force burst out from the Fantian Seal. This force was pure and powerful, as if it could wash away all darkness and evil.
"This... this is..." Lu Yu felt this power, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart. He understood that this was a qualitative change that occurred after Fan Tian Yin swallowed the dark bead.
"Boy, don't even think about escaping!" At this moment, the old man rushed towards Lu Yu again. There was a crazy light flashing in his eyes, and he had obviously made up his mind to seize Lu Yu's martial spirit.
However, Lu Yu was not panicked at all. He felt the powerful force coming from the Fantian Seal and was full of confidence.
"Hmph, you think you can take over my martial soul? Today I'll let you see how powerful I am." Lu Yu snorted coldly, and the Fantian Seal in his hand instantly burst into a dazzling light.
"boom!"
Following Lu Yu's order, the Fantian Seal instantly transformed into a huge golden shadow and slammed heavily on the old man. The old man let out a scream, and his body was instantly swallowed by the golden light.
When the golden light faded, the old man's body had disappeared, leaving only a pool of black liquid on the ground. This pool of liquid exuded a strong stench, and was obviously the residue left after the old man was completely destroyed by the Fantian Seal.
"Huh...finally solved." Lu Yu looked at the black liquid on the ground and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He understood that this time he was able to escape danger, all thanks to the qualitative change of the Fantian Seal.
At this time, Gu Yuena and others also rushed over. They looked at the black liquid on the ground and the Fantian Seal in Lu Yu's hand, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
"Lu Yu, what's going on? How come your martial soul suddenly became so powerful?" Gu Yuena couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yu smiled slightly and briefly recounted what had happened before. When he talked about the qualitative change of the Fantian Seal, Gu Yuena and others showed envy in their eyes.
"It's amazing. Lu Yu, your martial soul can actually undergo a qualitative change. This is simply incredible." Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed.
Oscar also nodded: "Yes, Lu Yu. Your talent and strength have surprised us. It seems that we all have to work hard to practice and try to catch up with you in the future."
Hearing Oscar's words, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile: "No, no, everyone is also very good. As long as we work hard together, we will definitely achieve greater success in the future."
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the sky in the distance. The roar was deafening, as if something was exploding in the sky.
"Huh? What's going on?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yu and others looked up at the sky.
In the distant sky, a bright light was approaching rapidly. This light was like a meteor, cutting through the sky and heading straight towards them.
"Is this... the direction of the Spirit Hall?" Lu Yu looked at the light and couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
At this moment, the light was approaching them. When they saw what was in the light, they couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.
It turned out to be a huge palace! This palace was magnificent and spectacular, emitting rich energy fluctuations. It was like a giant that fell from the sky, shrouding all of them in shadow.
"This... is this the palace of the Spirit Hall?" Gu Yuena looked at the huge thing in front of her, her voice trembling a little.
Lu Yu also took a deep breath, feeling the strong pressure coming from the palace. He understood that this palace was definitely not an ordinary building, but the symbol of the Spirit Hall and the source of its power.
"What...what should we do?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the palace in front of her and couldn't help feeling a sense of fear in her heart.
Lu Yu looked at everyone, his eyes flashing with determination: "Don't be afraid, everyone come in with me. No matter what dangers are inside, we must face them together."
As he spoke, Lu Yu took the lead and walked towards the palace gate. Seeing this, Gu Yuena and others followed him.
When they walked into the palace gate, a strong energy wave instantly hit them. This energy wave was pure and powerful, as if it could wash away all distractions and evil.
"Here... is this the interior of the Spirit Hall?" Oscar looked at the surrounding scene, his eyes full of amazement and curiosity.
The interior of the palace was magnificent, with dazzling gems and gorgeous decorations everywhere. These gems and decorations sparkled brightly in the sun, as if decorating the entire palace like a fairyland.
"Everyone be careful, there may be hidden dangers here." Lu Yu warned. He looked around vigilantly, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
At this moment, a figure walked out from the depths of the palace. This figure was tall and majestic, emitting a strong energy fluctuation. He was wearing a golden robe and a golden crown on his head, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in golden light.
"Huh? Who are you?" Lu Yu looked at the figure and couldn't help feeling wary.
The figure looked at Lu Yu and the others, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You...you can actually come here? It's really beyond my expectation."
Lu Yu looked at this figure and couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you? Where is this place?"
The figure smiled slightly: "I am the master of the Spirit Hall. This place is naturally the core area of the Spirit Hall."
Hearing this figure's words, Lu Yu and the others couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. They didn't expect to meet the master of the Spirit Hall here.
"Palace Master, we..." Lu Yu was about to say something but was interrupted by the Palace Master.
"You don't have to say more. I know why you are here. You are here to participate in the Soul Master Competition, right?" The Palace Master looked at Lu Yu and others, with wisdom in his eyes.
Lu Yu and the others nodded when they heard this. They understood that since they had come here, there was no need to hide anything.
"Very good. Since you are here to participate in the Soul Master Competition, I will give you a chance." The Palace Master said, waving his right hand. A golden light instantly burst out from his palm and headed straight for Lu Yu and others.
"This is..." Lu Yu and others looked at the golden light and couldn't help but feel alert.
However, to their surprise, the golden light did not attack them, but turned into golden runes and merged into the body.
"This is the Spirit Hall's trial rune. As long as you can pass the trial, you will be qualified to participate in the Spirit Master Competition." The Hall Master explained.
Hearing the words of the Hall Master, Lu Yu and the others couldn't help but show excitement. They understood that this was an opportunity given by the Spirit Hall, an opportunity to prove themselves.
"Thank you, Palace Master." Lu Yu and others bowed and saluted to express their gratitude to the Palace Master.
The hall master nodded slightly: "You don't have to be polite. As long as you can show your strength and talent, the Spirit Hall will naturally make use of you."
As he spoke, the hall master waved his hand, and a beam of light instantly enveloped Lu Yu and the others. When the light faded, they had arrived at a huge martial arts arena.
"Is this the place for the trial?" Lu Yu looked at the training ground in front of him, and a fighting spirit rose in his heart.
In the martial arts arena, figures are fighting fiercely. These figures are fast or slow,
"Hmm? My cultivation..."
Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power in his body, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Although I didn't get the fourth soul ring, my three soul skills have all been improved, especially the first soul skill, Diamond Seal, which actually increased the speed attribute!"
Lu Yu's mind moved, and the soul power in his body surged. The Vajra Seal instantly condensed and appeared in his palm.
I saw that the Vajra Seal was more solid than before, emitting a faint golden luster, and a heavy yet sharp aura permeated it.
"This Vajra Seal actually has a hint of the artistic conception of wind!"
Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling the artistic conception contained in the Vajra Seal, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
You know, the artistic conception can only be comprehended by the strong people at the Titled Douluo level, and he is just a Soul Master now, but he can actually feel the existence of the artistic conception. This is undoubtedly extremely incredible.
"It seems that this should be the influence of the wind power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
Lu Yu guessed secretly in his heart.
When he absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring, he felt the power of wind contained in it. Now, this power actually resonated with his Vajra Seal, causing the Vajra Seal to evolve.
"However, although this Diamond Seal has increased the speed attribute, its power does not seem to have increased much."
Lu Yu frowned slightly, feeling a little regretful.
Although the speed of the Vajra Seal increased, its power did not increase much, which made him a little disappointed.
After all, his current strength is already strong enough, and ordinary soul skills can hardly be of much help to him.
"Forget it, it's better than nothing."
Lu Yu shook his head slightly, dispersed the Vajra Seal, then stood up and prepared to leave the forest.
Now that three days have passed, he must return to the academy as soon as possible, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble.
"Huh? Someone is coming?"
At this moment, Lu Yu's brows suddenly frowned and he looked into the distance.
I saw a figure rushing towards this side at a very fast speed, emitting a strong murderous aura.
"This is... someone from the Spirit Hall?"
Feeling the aura emanating from that figure, Lu Yu's face suddenly became gloomy.
He didn't expect that he would meet someone from the Spirit Hall here.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to be able to escape from the Dark Demon Evil Tiger alive. You are quite capable."
At this moment, the figure had come in front of Lu Yu, looking at Lu Yu with a sneer on his face.
This person is a middle-aged man, wearing the uniform of the Spirit Hall, and exuding the aura of a Soul Emperor.
"who are you?"
Lu Yu looked at the middle-aged man with a slightly cold gaze and asked in a deep voice.
"Hmph, Spirit Hall, under the seat of Chrysanthemum Douluo, is Soul Emperor Zhao Quan!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and revealed his identity.
