Chapter Twenty-One: The Twin Wings of Wind and Thunder! Hunting the Human-Faced Demon Spider! Third Soul Ring—Seal of Dominion!
Wherever the tornado passed, the earth was furrowed deeply, and towering trees were torn into fragments, giving off a mighty and overwhelming force!
Then Lu Yu continued to dart and weave through the air, familiarizing himself with the sensation of flying with wings. Only after a long while did he finally land on the ground.
Satisfied, he folded away the Wind and Thunder dual wings. After a brief trial, Lu Yu had completely adapted to flying with wings.
In his previous life, relying on his powerful qi and the enhancement of talismans, he was able to briefly soar through the air, so flying was not unfamiliar to him. He had also trained in aerial combat techniques, which enabled his rapid adaptation.
“Next, I must focus on finding the third soul ring...” Lu Yu murmured. “And... hunt down the Human-faced Demon Spider!”
Obtaining soul rings was only one of the reasons for his journey to the Constellation Great Forest; his second goal was to hunt the Human-faced Demon Spider!
The golden-red fruit and the external soul bone he found were entirely unexpected gains.
Hunting the Human-faced Demon Spider was naturally to acquire the external soul bone of the Eight-Spider Spear, which Tang San obtained in the original storyline!
Although the Eight-Spider Spear is an external soul bone from the rib area and clashes with the Wind and Thunder dual wings Lu Yu had obtained, external soul bones are rare treasures in Douluo Continent—no one would ever complain about having more of them!
Even if he couldn't use it himself, it could be given to his allies later on.
At the very least, selling it would earn Lu Yu a handsome profit and gain the favor of some faction.
Over the following week, Lu Yu encountered more than twenty Human-faced Demon Spiders with cultivation around two thousand years, yet none dropped the Eight-Spider Spear.
However, he discovered the best target for his third soul ring: a tiger-striped turtle.
Though a turtle-type spirit beast, it was poor at defense but extremely strong in power. It possessed a unique talent ability that allowed it to repel or attract a single target or an area around it.
This repelling and attracting force was extremely strong and was the tiger-striped turtle’s means of survival. In fact, when directed at a single target, this force multiplied!
The soul ring from the tiger-striped turtle didn’t grant power but gave him an enhanced version of the “repulsion talent.”
Lu Yu named it the “Control Seal.”
With the acquisition of the third soul ring, Lu Yu was even more thrilled to discover subtle changes in his martial soul, the Fan Tian Seal!
Firstly, its appearance had transformed; the previous stony lump was gone, replaced by a jade seal. The characters “Fan Tian” on the seal’s surface were now completely clear. The handle had become a large jade pearl, within which a chaotic mist swirled, and mysterious runes covered the surface.
On the seal’s body, three runes representing the three soul rings gleamed brightly.
Beyond the change in appearance, the most crucial development was that the Fan Tian Seal had awakened a talent ability!
Lu Yu named it “Absolute Lock-On”!
Its effect was simple: whenever Lu Yu hurled the Fan Tian Seal at a target, no matter the opponent’s cultivation or speed, it would strike true without fail!
With three soul rings and the transformation of his martial soul, Lu Yu felt somewhat bewildered.
The first soul skill, the Vajra Seal, made the Fan Tian Seal indestructible. As long as Lu Yu could control it from being knocked away, it was practically a god-level defensive soul skill!
The second soul skill, the Thousand-Jin Seal, combined gravity control with armor penetration force, qualifying it as a god-level offensive soul skill!
The third soul skill, the Control Seal, could unleash a repulsive force over a short distance, and even a soul master with three rings would find it hard to resist. When targeting a single individual, even a soul ancestor would struggle to withstand it!
This was unquestionably a god-level control soul skill!
With the addition of his lightning techniques, Lu Yu's speed was lightning-fast, surpassing many agility-type soul masters of his level...
Good heavens!
How should he introduce himself in the future?
“Hello, my name is Lu Yu, master of all soul types?”
After wandering the outer regions of the Star Dou Forest again, Lu Yu slew four more Human-faced Demon Spiders in the Heavenly Circle but still failed to obtain the Eight-Spider Spear.
He no longer obsessed over it, unwilling to waste more time here—after all, Tang San had the protagonist’s aura, and trying to intercept his gains by luck was no easy feat.
Thus, Lu Yu began to move toward the outskirts of the Constellation Great Forest.
But as he reached the forest’s edge, a shadow suddenly leapt down from a large tree, a sharp glint of cold steel flashing straight at him!
Lu Yu’s eyes narrowed, the Fan Tian Seal appearing in his palm. The third soul ring flared, and the terrifying repulsive force instantly sent the attacker flying, followed by an attracting force that dragged the foe back.
Immediately after, the second soul ring lit up, and the Fan Tian Seal was hurled, slamming directly into the opponent!
“Bang!”
A muffled sound echoed. Lu Yu retracted his martial soul to see the Human-faced Demon Spider smashed into a pulpy mess!
In the center of that sludge lay a crystal-clear rib bone!
Lu Yu’s eyes widened, momentarily stunned.
Truly, there was light at the end of the tunnel!
He had spent eight days killing nearly thirty Human-faced Demon Spiders without a single Eight-Spider Spear dropping.
Yet just as he gave up and prepared to leave, fate brought one right to his doorstep...
In high spirits, Lu Yu picked up the Eight-Spider Spear soul bone and stored it in his soul ring.
His spiritual power scanned the ring’s inner space, revealing a pile of items tucked in a corner.
When Du Gu Yan had given him this soul ring, she said the contents inside were hers to keep as well.
Within the soul island ring were dozens of golden soul coins, some ordinary weapons, and several books detailing knowledge about spirit beasts.
These books were far more detailed than the spirit beast knowledge courses taught at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
Besides that, there were various sundries: clothing, jewelry, and some daily necessities.
Without exception, all were items used by girls.
Most notably...
Among the clothes were even several pieces of underwear!
He hadn’t discarded them because, with a mischievous streak, Lu Yu planned to return all these things to Du Gu Yan the next time he saw her...
He was eager to see what expression this little troublemaker would have then!
Putting these thoughts aside, Lu Yu left the Star Dou Forest with light steps.
This trip to the Star Dou Forest had not only yielded a suitable third soul ring but also brought a great opportunity and snatched a prize from Tang San—it was truly a profitable venture.
The only slight regret was that the golden-red fruit was useless to him.
Lu Yu sensed a strong dragon bloodline aura within it, but the energy was extremely diluted.
His martial soul was the Fan Tian Seal; the dragon bloodline was of no use to him, and the sparse energy was insufficient to significantly enhance his soul power cultivation.
It was even slower than his cultivation method of reversing the threefold life to transform his innate qi...
Still, Lu Yu guessed that since the fruit could induce spirit beasts to transform into dragons, it would surely be effective for those with dragon-type or dragon-like martial souls.
Whether sold or traded in the future, it would be a guaranteed profit!
