Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is Ray, I come with the storm!

Page 3

The previously unseen Lei Yi Martial Soul is probably suited for the agility-based attack path, since agility-based attack paths on the continent generally focus on attack and speed.

"Now that you have an idea, we'll set off for the Soul Hunting Forest in three days to help you obtain your first soul ring."

Director Su believed Lu Yuan and thought to himself that he needed to find more people, preferably those who could help Lu Yuan obtain a good soul ring.

After all, this might be my only chance to latch onto a powerful figure; if I don't seize this opportunity, I might never have another chance.

"Thank you, Director Su. I will remember this kindness!"

Lu Yuan bowed slightly. Director Su had helped him so many times because he valued his talent and invested in him.

He had no reason not to remember this kindness, and besides, he was not an ungrateful person.

If we can successfully obtain the immortal herb in the future, at least Director Su will get a share.

Seeing that Lu Yuan's grateful expression seemed genuine, Director Su couldn't help but smile.

"What gratitude or not? You are a student of Notting College, and I am a teacher of Notting College."

"With such an outstanding student as you in the academy, we should naturally support you."

"Okay, let's go back."

Lu Yuan nodded, and after saying goodbye to Director Su, he headed straight for his dormitory.

Yu Xiaogang stormed back to his dormitory and slammed the door shut.

His chest heaved violently, and his eyes were bloodshot!

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to unleash his fury, a voice rang out, and Tang San, with his unremarkable face like a passerby, walked over and asked curiously.

Chapter 5 Hunting Soul Rings

"I just encountered an impudent brat, yet he dared to use his tongue to mock his master. He's utterly clueless."

Yu Xiaogang immediately embellished the story and told Tang San the whole thing.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang being mocked by Lu Yuan, a murderous glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.

Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher—how dare someone mock their teacher? This is practically courting death!

"Teacher, is that person named Lu Yuan? I will make him pay the price."

Tang San sneered inwardly. Since they dared to mock his teacher, they would have to pay the price!

Foolish brat, so what if you awaken the same innate full soul power as me? You don't understand the importance of knowledge at all. Your future achievements are destined to be limited. You are not worthy of being my opponent.

"Let's talk about it later. Little San, get up a little earlier tomorrow, and I'll take you to get your first spirit ring."

"The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is not as good as the Clear Sky Hammer after all. Only by adding the poison attribute can you maximize your benefits."

Tang San thought about his Blue Silver Grass, which could break with a single tear, and nodded in agreement. Besides, as a disciple of the Tang Clan, using poison was his first choice.

Yu Xiaogang's suggestion was quite in line with his wishes.

"Thank you teacher!"

"Then I'll head back now, teacher."

In the following days, Lu Yuan spent his time either in the cafeteria or the library. In fact, Yu Xiaogang was right about one thing: Soul Masters do need to learn knowledge. Even in this world where the strong are respected, it is ultimately not easy for an illiterate person to get by.

This is why there are so many Soul Master Academies on the Douluo Continent.

Time flies, and three days later it was already time to go.

Early in the morning, Director Su arrived with several teachers from Notting Academy. He had specially gathered these people to help Lu Yuan obtain his first spirit ring.

Lu Yuan expressed his gratitude to each of the teachers who were willing to help him obtain a spirit ring.

In the Douluo Continent, many Soul Masters, after reaching level ten, are forced to hastily acquire a ten-year Soul Beast as their Soul Ring due to a lack of money and power, and many of these Soul Rings are simply unsuitable in terms of attributes.

"Xiao Yuan, what kind of soul beast are you targeting? We're heading to the Soul Hunting Forest this time. Although the Soul Hunting Forest can't compare to the Star Dou Great Forest, it still has most kinds of soul beasts."

The Soul Hunting Forest was established by the Spirit Hall specifically for low-level Soul Masters. It contains many Soul Beasts suitable for low-level Soul Masters, and it is even rumored that there are many high-level Soul Beasts among them.

"Ideally, we can get the Thundercloud Leopard, but the Purple Thunder Scorpion can also be considered as an alternative."

Of the three soul beasts he chose, the Thundercloud Leopard was the best choice, followed by the Purple Thunder Scorpion, and finally, of course, the Swift Thunder Rat.

"Thundercloud Leopard? Don't worry about that. There are such soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest. This time, I will definitely get you a hundred-year soul ring."

Director Su patted his chest with a smile, as if to say that he would leave everything to me from now on.

"Then it all depends on Director Su. Teacher Zhao and I will be watching from behind to see your heroic demeanor!"

A teacher named Mohen joked with Director Su with a smile.

“Xiao Yuan, when we arrive at the Soul Hunter Forest, stand between us.”

A gentle female teacher reached out and patted Lu Yuan's head before speaking.

Lu Yuan nodded. Although the Soul Hunting Forest wasn't considered dangerous, it was still a gathering place for soul beasts, and they might suddenly encounter an attack from some kind of soul beast.

By standing in the center, his safety is at least guaranteed; otherwise, others might have to be distracted to protect him.

The Soul Hunting Forest is located 400 miles northeast of Notting City. In order to conserve their energy, Director Su took the initiative to rent two carriages and carry everyone towards the forest in a grand procession.

Director Su is a Soul Master, and the other six teachers who accompanied him are all Great Soul Masters. With such cultivation, they can be said to be almost invincible in the Soul Hunting Forest.

Even if you encounter some thousand-year-old soul beasts, it's not like you can't fight them. Besides, the probability of encountering a thousand-year-old soul beast in the Soul Hunting Forest is almost the same as encountering a fire-attribute soul beast in the far north.

Upon arriving at the Soul Hunter Forest, Lu Yuan was immediately struck by the towering trees, with layers upon layers of iron fences blocking the forest's perimeter.

This steel fence is not only to stop poachers, but also to prevent soul beasts from escaping and harming the civilians on the continent.

Director Su presented the order in his hand and was then allowed to proceed.

Upon entering the Soul Hunter Forest, the fresh air that rushed towards him made Lu Yuan feel refreshed and invigorated.

"The Thundercloud Leopard uses elements as its means of attack and, according to records, prefers to live in locations with dense thunder."

"Looks like we'll have to head towards Thunder Canyon."

Although the Soul Hunting Forest is just a small gathering place for soul beasts, it contains many kinds of soul beasts. These soul beasts have different living habits, and over the years, they have naturally been divided into many areas.

Thunder Canyon is a location within the Soul Hunter Forest, inhabited by a large number of thunder-attribute soul beasts. The Thundercloud Leopard is one of them.

Now that they had decided on their destination, no one said anything more and headed straight for Thunder Canyon.

The Thundercloud Leopard is a rather fierce and territorial spirit beast, the kind that doesn't travel in packs. With the strength of Lu Yuan and his group, hunting it wouldn't be a big problem at all.

Given the chance, even without concentrated fire, Director Su alone could easily take him down.

After all, as a level 35 Soul Master, taking down a mere hundred-year-old Soul Beast is a piece of cake.

Led by Director Su, a Soul Master, the group quickly headed towards Thunder Canyon.

Under the protection of everyone, Lu Yuan began to look forward to his first spirit ring.

The group walked and stopped frequently, taking a full day to reach Thunder Canyon.

Upon arriving at Thunder Canyon, Lu Yuan sensed that this place seemed perfectly suited for his cultivation.

Looking at the gloomy sky and feeling the rather strong lightning element, he couldn't help but show an expression of enjoyment.

So this is Thunder Canyon? It seems that my soul power circulation speed has increased a lot here. If I could cultivate here for a period of time, my soul power would definitely improve a lot.

Unfortunately, there are indeed some dangers here.

"Next, we're going to enter Thunder Canyon. Be careful, I'll lead the way, and you guys protect Xiao Yuan."

Director Su gave a word of advice, and everyone nodded, becoming serious and attentive.

A flash of azure light appeared, and instantly a bow and arrow radiating a scorching heat appeared in Director Su's hand. This was Director Su's martial soul, the Blazing Flame Bow. At the same time, three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, shining with brilliant colors, also appeared beneath him.

Chapter 6 Lei Peng

Looking at that perfect spirit ring configuration, Lu Yuan clearly saw envy in the eyes of the teachers around him.

For a commoner Soul Master to achieve a standard Soul Ring configuration like Director Su, it's no exaggeration to say that they are one in a hundred.

It should be noted that even Qin Ming, who is the second youngest Soul Emperor on the continent, does not have a standard Soul Ring configuration.

It's clear that this is quite difficult, so it's understandable that it's envied. Even if Director Su saw it, he would just pretend not to.

They searched all the way through Thunder Canyon, and half a day quickly passed.

During this half-day, the group encountered many soul beasts and even suffered two attacks from them.

However, thanks to the intervention of Director Su, a Soul Master, the group did not suffer any major damage, except for a significant depletion of their soul power.

"Logically, after searching for so long, we should have found the Thundercloud Leopard by now. Does this mean there are no more Thundercloud Leopards in the Soul Hunting Forest?"

After searching for a while, Director Su stopped and said with a frown and a troubled expression.

"Whether we can find the Thundercloud Leopard is another matter; the main issue is that our soul power is starting to give out."

"If we keep searching, our soul power will probably be completely exhausted."

"Why don't you find a Purple Lightning Scorpion, Xiao Yuan?"

Mo Yuan stood at the back of the group, his brows furrowed, and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue helping Lu Yuan search, but his soul power was somewhat insufficient. In this Soul Hunting Forest, if a Soul Master lost their soul power, it would be a rather terrifying thing.

"If we really can't find the Thundercloud Leopard, the Purple Thunder Scorpion is also an option!"

Although the Thundercloud Leopard was the best of the several soul beasts he had chosen, the Purple Thunder Scorpion was not unsuitable either. There was no point in forcing it if he couldn't find one, so he might as well hunt one.

"Purple Lightning Scorpions? There seemed to be a nest of Purple Lightning Scorpions where we just passed by, including one that was four hundred years old. It's perfect as your soul ring, Xiao Yuan!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Director Su's face immediately showed some relief.

Shortly after entering Thunder Canyon, the group encountered a group of Purple Thunder Scorpions, the leader of which was even a four-hundred-year-old Purple Thunder Scorpion.

According to Yu Xiaogang's theory, a four-hundred-year-old soul beast has almost reached the limit of a soul master's first soul ring.

However, this is actually somewhat misleading; Yu Xiaogang's theories are just like him.

There's something there, but really not much.

I don't know where Yu Xiaogang got the information from.

Disciples of noble and powerful families have a constant supply of resources before acquiring a soul ring, so four hundred years is certainly not a problem.

However, if a commoner Soul Master who can't even afford to eat every day tries to absorb a four-hundred-year-old Soul Ring, he will definitely explode and die in the end. Even if he doesn't die, his Martial Soul will be shattered, and he will never be able to cultivate again.

In Lu Yuan's view, his theory was completely impractical and even led ordinary soul masters down the wrong path.

Soon the group returned to the location where they had just encountered the Purple Lightning Scorpion. However, as soon as they arrived, a surge of soul power caused by the battle alerted everyone!

"Damn it, did someone beat us to it?"

Everyone's faces darkened. They had only come to obtain a spirit ring, so why was their luck suddenly so bad?

Just as everyone was filled with resentment, a large golden bird flew over their heads.

This large bird is three meters long, and its wingspan is a massive seven or eight meters. Its golden feathers, like golden divine iron, gleam brightly in the sunlight.

More importantly, as the large bird flew, it generated a large amount of electricity, and even a dark cloud gathered above its head.

The large bird was currently holding a purple scorpion over a meter long in its claws. It was none other than the four-hundred-year-old Purple Thunder Scorpion, which was Lu Yuan and the others' target.

Looking at the large golden bird in the sky, even Director Su, who was a Soul Venerable, couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

"That's Lei Peng! This kind of soul beast actually appeared here!"

Lei Peng is a soul beast with the bloodline of the legendary Kunpeng. It is extremely fast, and its wings can generate electricity when it flies. It also has the ability to summon dark clouds and control thunder.

Looking at the Thunder Roc in the sky, Lu Yuan blinked, feeling the tremor from his martial soul, and instantly understood.

This Thunder Roc is the most suitable soul beast for his first soul ring.

"Director Su, I can sense that this Lei Peng is a perfect fit for me. Don't let him get away!"

Although Lei Peng is powerful, this one in the air is only three or four hundred years old. With the strength of Director Su and the many teachers, capturing this Lei Peng is not difficult.

"Alright, then it'll be this Thunder Roc. It stole our prey, so it'll pay with its life!"

This Thunder Roc is quite old, but since Lu Yuan has spoken, there's nothing more to say, just shoot it down!

After Director Su finished speaking, the three spirit rings behind him lit up one by one.
