Chapter 566 Another Massacre

Lu Yu and Wang Sheng walked side by side on the stone road with brisk steps, behind them was the noisy crowd and the occasional sound of horse hooves.

The defeat in the team match last night did not seem to leave too much gloom on the two men's faces. Lu Yu's expression was as calm as ever, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Wang Sheng lowered his head, thinking about something, his brows slightly furrowed, and in his hand was a piece of dry food that he had not finished eating last night, which was slightly deformed.

In last night's team competition, Team Thanos unexpectedly lost to the Puppet Team, which was not top-notch in strength.

After the game, everyone gathered at the wooden table in the dormitory, around a dim oil lamp, but the atmosphere was not heavy.

Meng Yiran sat on a wooden chair by the window. The moonlight outside the window shone on her face, making her look a little pale.

Her eyes were lowered, and her slender fingers were unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes, making her look a little embarrassed.

Xiao Wu sat beside her, her soft hands gently resting on Meng Yiran's shoulders, her eyes full of concern.

"Yan'er, are you okay?"

Xiao Wu's voice was gentle, with a hint of worry, "We were all terrified when you were captured by those people. You must be very scared, right?"

Hearing this, Meng Yiran shook her head slightly and forced a smile, "Sister Xiaowu, I'm fine, really...it's all over."

She paused and lowered her voice, "It was only because of me that Brother Lu Yu was unable to play in the competition, causing everyone to lose the game... I really feel bad."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes swept across everyone at the table, stopping on Lu Yu with deep apology.

Lu Yu was drinking the hot soup in the bowl with his head down. He looked up when he heard the words. A smile flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Don't take it to heart. Winning and losing in competitions is a common thing. It's impossible to win every game."

His tone was relaxed, as if losing the game was just a trivial matter.

Meng Yiran frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Brother Lu Yu, are you really not angry? With your strength, if you were here, we would definitely win..."

Ning Rongrong, who was sitting on the left side of Meng Yiran, chuckled and patted the back of her hand, "Yiran, you think too much! In a competition, if you lose, you lose. You can win it back next time.

It’s not like our team has never lost before, look, everyone is doing fine, right? "

Ning Rongrong's voice was crisp and playful. She turned her head to look at Lu Yu, a sly look flashing in her eyes. "Besides, when has Lu Yu ever taken winning or losing so seriously? Look at him now, isn't he eating happily?"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

Meng Yiran looked at everyone's smiling faces, and her originally tense heartstrings relaxed a little, but the guilt in her eyes still had not completely disappeared.

She lowered her head, bit her lip, and murmured, "You really don't blame me?"

Xiao Wu gently squeezed her hand and said softly, "Why should I blame you? If you want to blame someone, blame the people who arrested you. Humph, I'll take care of them next time I see them!"

She waved her little fist, looking cute but a little serious, which caused everyone to laugh again.

Lu Yu put down the bowl of soup, turned his gaze to Wang Sheng beside him, and changed the subject, "Wang Sheng, didn't you say last night that you refined a new thing? Take it out and let me see it."

His voice was somewhat teasing, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Wang Sheng was biting a piece of dry food. He was stunned when he heard the words. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he smiled and took out a small glass bottle from the soul guide.

The bottle contains a lavender liquid that glows slightly under the light, like flowing starlight, mysterious and alluring.

"Brother Lu Yu, this is the potion I made last night. It's called Negative Potion."

Wang Sheng scratched his head, and said uncertainly, "I don't know what the effect will be. I'm not sure, so I want you to help me take a look."

He gently placed the potion bottle on the table. The bottle collided with the wooden table, making a slight "ding" sound.

The sound attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, reached out to pick up the medicine bottle, shook it pretentiously, and a golden light flashed in his eyes. It was his identification technique quietly activated.

The next moment, the information about the potion emerged clearly in his mind: negative potion, which can increase the soul master's level by one level after taking it, and the duration is half a month, but the side effect is that the soul master's level will decrease at a rate of 3% per day, and will return to the original level after half a month. It is only effective for soul masters at Soul Sect and below.

Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was filled with waves.

The effect of this potion is very strong. It can instantly increase soul power by one level. For soul masters at the Soul Sect level, it is almost a qualitative leap. Even if it only lasts for half a month, it is enough to turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment.

However, the side effects cannot be ignored either. A drop in level in half a month means that the soul master's strength will continue to weaken. If taken during a period of frequent battles, the risk is extremely high.

He calmly placed the potion bottle back on the table, but his mind began to work rapidly.

His fusion skill can refine potions and eliminate side effects. If he can refine this potion on a large scale, he might be able to save the expense of purchasing experience cards and directly improve his strength through potions.

But the prerequisite is that there are sufficient medicinal materials and the difficulty of refining is controllable.

He looked at Wang Sheng and asked calmly, "How many more doses of this potion can you make?"

Wang Sheng made a bitter face and sighed, "Brother Lu Yu, I made this potion by accident. The family didn't give me many medicinal materials, especially the main ingredient, the wood flower, which is very rare.

My father finally bought one with great difficulty. You can’t pick it in the outer part of the Star Forest, only in the deep part.”

He paused, his tone somewhat helpless, "With just this one bottle, I don't even know if I can make another one."

When Lu Yu heard this, his brows slightly frowned, and the original plan in his mind instantly fell through.

He originally wanted to ask Wang Sheng to refine a few more potions, use the fusion skill to refine them to the point where there were no side effects, and then create some waves in the fighting spirit arena, but now it seems that the scarcity of medicinal materials has made this idea a bubble.

He sighed softly and patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder. "Don't worry, this medicine is already very good. If it can solve the side effects, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price."

Wang Sheng scratched his head and chuckled, "That depends on your ability, Brother Lu Yu. My skills are not as good as yours."

Lu Yu smiled and said nothing more, but his eyes fell on the bottle of lavender potion, and he was secretly thinking of a new plan in his mind.

The next morning, Lu Yu and Wang Sheng got up early, walked through the bustling streets of Soto City, and came to a simply decorated inn.

There was a faded sign hanging on the wooden door of the inn, and two waiters were standing in front of the door, greeting the guests lazily.

Lu Yu pushed the door open and saw Wang Yuan sitting at the wooden table in the lobby, holding a bowl of hot tea in his hand and looking at them with a smile.

"Lu Yu! I haven't seen you for a few months, but you look a lot stronger now!"

Wang Yuan stood up, smiled heartily, and patted Lu Yu on the shoulder.

His eyes swept over Lu Yu, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, "Wang Sheng is a treasure for following you.

Our Wang family's status has risen rapidly in recent years because of you!"

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said modestly: "Uncle Wang, you are too kind, I am just luckier.

I heard that you came to Soto City, so Wang Sheng and I came to see you, and by the way, I want to ask you for help with something."

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of intimacy, yet still polite.

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said generously: "We are brothers, why be polite! If you have any problem, just tell me, Uncle Wang will definitely help if he can!"

He sat down again and motioned Lu Yu and Wang Sheng to sit down as well, with some anticipation in his eyes.

Lu Yu didn't beat around the bush. He lowered his voice and told what he wanted to investigate.

After hearing this, Wang Yuan's expression gradually became serious, his brows knitted, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Yu, this matter is not simple. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, and I can't help much."

There was a hint of worry in his tone, and it was obvious that the seriousness of the matter was beyond his expectations.

Lu Yu looked determined and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Wang, I know it's not a simple matter, but it's very important to me. Please help me check it out."

He paused and added, "No matter what the result is, I have to try it."

Wang Yuan stared at Lu Yu for a moment, then finally sighed and nodded, "Okay, I promise you.

Three months later, I will tell you what I have found out."

Wang Sheng, who was standing aside, lowered his head with a solemn expression as well. He seemed to know the importance of the matter, but he did not interrupt.

Coming out of the inn, Lu Yu and Wang Sheng walked side by side towards the fighting arena.

The streets were bustling with people, and the noise was endless, but Lu Yu seemed to be worried, and kept thinking about Wang Yuan's reaction in his mind.

Just then, a burst of shrill laughter came from the front, breaking his thoughts.

"Hey, aren't these the losers from Team Thanos? They weren't taught a lesson hard enough yesterday, but they still dare to come out and hang around today?"

The two people who spoke were two young men wearing gray battle robes with a ferocious puppet embroidered on their chests. They were the members of the Puppet Team that defeated Thanos' Team yesterday.

They stood at the entrance of the fighting arena, with their arms folded and mocking expressions on their faces.

When Wang Sheng saw the two men, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "It's them! They beat us up yesterday without any chance of fighting back!"

There was anger in his voice and fire was almost spitting from his eyes.

Lu Yu just glanced at the two of them calmly, his tone as calm as if he was talking about something insignificant, "Let's go."

He patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder and turned to enter the fighting arena.

The two men were not willing to give in. One of them said in a sharp voice, "What, pretty boy? You don't even dare to say a word? Team Thanos? Bullshit!"

Their laughter was shrill, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Lu Yu stopped and turned around slowly. He glanced at the two of them coldly, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "You're being tough, huh? See you on the field."

Lu Yu stood in the preparation area of ​​the fighting arena. The sunlight shone through the tall dome, shining on the ground, outlining areas of interlaced light and shadow.

Beside him, Wang Sheng was sorting out his soul guide with his head down, with a look of excitement on his face.

The surrounding noises rose and fell, the shouts from the audience, the whispers of the team members, and the shouts of the referee announcing the results of the game in the distance, interweaving into a sea of ​​​​livelyness.

Lu Yu's eyes remained calm and somewhat indifferent, as if all this noise had nothing to do with him.

"Brother Lu Yu, those guys from the Puppet Team are so arrogant, but why don't they have any real skills on the field?"

Wang Sheng raised his head, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and his tone was full of curiosity, "You were provoked by them just now, why are you not angry at all?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

He patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, speaking in a calm and steady voice that made people believe: "The confidence of a soul master lies in his strength, not his eloquence.

Arguing with them wastes time, disturbs your mood, and does not benefit the game at all.

Want to shut them up? Then beat them up on the field with your fists until they admit their mistake."

After hearing this, Wang Sheng's eyes lit up and a flame seemed to ignite in his pupils.

He nodded vigorously, clenched his fists, and whispered: "I understand, Brother Lu Yu! Let's show them today how powerful the Thanos team is!"

Lu Yu chuckled and said nothing more, but his gaze turned to Zhao Wuji who was not far away.

Zhao Wuji was standing next to Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and the others, whispering something to them, with a serious look on his rough face.

Obviously, he attaches great importance to today's game.

Lu Yu walked over with Wang Sheng. Ning Rongrong came to greet them immediately, with a bit of complaint on her pretty face: "Lu Yu, Wang Sheng, where did you two go so early in the morning? We thought you would miss the game!"

Lu Yu rubbed Ning Rongrong's hair and said with a smile: "I went to see Wang Sheng's father and was delayed for a while, but I finally got back.

Don't worry, the game will start soon and we have to get ready."

Xiao Wu stood aside, crossed her arms, snorted, and said with a playful tone: "Humph, Lu Yu, don't forget, today is our day to be proud! We lost a game yesterday, and we have to get back at him today!"

Lu Yu looked at Xiao Wu, a soft light flashed in his eyes.

He walked forward, patted Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong on the shoulders gently, and said in a low but powerful voice: "Don't worry, we won't give our opponents a chance today.

Let’s go, play!”

Led by Lu Yu, the members of the Thanos team walked towards the arena with firm steps.

In the audience, all eyes were focused on them.

In yesterday's game, Team Thanos became famous with its stunning performance, especially Lu Yu's almost overwhelming strength, which made many soul masters look at him with admiration.

Seeing him on stage again today, there was an immediate murmur among the audience.

"That Lu Yu, his performance yesterday was too horrible, I guess it will be another massacre today?"

"Who are the opponents? It seems to be... the Fierce Wind Team? Tsk, with a level 46 Soul Master leading the team, I'm afraid they can't even last ten minutes."

On the field, the captain of the Fierce Wind Team was a tall and thin young man with a sinister look in his eyes. His spirit rings lit up under his feet, and his configuration of four yellow and two purple was considered excellent among ordinary spirit masters.

He stared at Lu Yu, trying to overwhelm him with his momentum, but found that Lu Yu just glanced at him indifferently, with eyes as calm as if he was looking at an insignificant ant.

The whistle for the start of the game sounded, and the Fierce Wind Team took the lead.
