Chapter Eleven: Solidifying the Domain! A Custom-Crafted First Soul Ring Technique! Tang San's Regret!

At this moment, the Fan Tian Seal no longer resembled a mere stone lump; it gradually took on the shape of a jade seal, and the originally blurred characters "Fan Tian" became increasingly clear.

Most notably...

On the seal itself, a dark golden rune appeared!

At the same time, a ring of dark yellow soul rings materialized around Lu Yu.

As the soul rings lit up, the dark golden rune on the Fan Tian Seal flickered.

Immediately after, the Fan Tian Seal rapidly expanded to a meter square, its entire surface shifting from jet black to dark gold, exuding an indestructible aura.

"Vajra Seal!"

Lu Yu’s expression grew somewhat peculiar, as if he was envisioning his future battle style.

He named this first soul ring technique the Vajra Seal. Its effect was simple...

It bestowed a “buff” upon the Fan Tian Seal martial soul!

The effect of this buff was to make it indestructible!

And in an absolute sense!

In other words, even a Title Douluo could not damage the Fan Tian Seal while it was under the Vajra Seal state!

Soul masters must rely on their martial souls to fight, but at the same time, the martial soul is the very foundation of a soul master.

If the martial soul is damaged during combat, at best it causes backlash or severe injury to the soul master; at worst, it inflicts irreversible damage to their foundation and cultivation, making further progress nearly impossible and even risking their life.

But with the Vajra Seal, Lu Yu need never worry about his martial soul being damaged in the future.

However, aside from absolute indestructibility, the Vajra Seal offered no other enhancements and had no offensive capabilities.

Placed on other soul masters, this skill might seem somewhat useless.

But for Lu Yu, this skill was practically tailor-made for him!

Lu Yu’s physical constitution far surpassed that of his peers, allowing him to wield the Fan Tian Seal in its Vajra Seal state as a weapon!

With the added strength from the golden-haired mastiff’s right palm bones, a single strike would be overwhelming; under three rings, even defensive soul masters could not withstand it!

After retracting his martial soul and soul rings, Lu Yu glanced at the sky, which was already tinged with the pale light of dawn.

He had fought fiercely against numerous soul beasts last night, then contended with the golden-haired mastiff, and spent time absorbing soul rings and soul bones. Unconsciously, the entire night had passed.

This soul beast hunting trip to the forest had been immensely rewarding, and it was time to leave.

Following the path he came, Lu Yu took half an hour to reach the exit. The guard outside gave him a glance but paid no further attention.

By the time the sky was fully bright, Lu Yu had returned to Dormitory Seven of the Nottingham Junior Soul Master Academy.

He moved quietly, not waking his roommates, yet with his strong spiritual power, he noticed that Tang San was already awake the moment he entered, secretly observing him.

Lu Yu paid no mind, immediately collapsing onto his bed and falling asleep.

After a night of exertion, though his spiritual power had mostly recovered, the fatigue from continuous fighting could not be dispelled.

Looking at Lu Yu lying on the nearby bed, Tang San frowned.

He had already learned from Yu Xiaogang that Lu Yu had taken leave that afternoon to go to the soul beast forest to obtain a soul ring.

Tang San planned to go there with Yu Xiaogang today, with the teacher’s help, to acquire a soul ring of the best age.

He had intended to invite Lu Yu along but had not expected that Lu Yu chose to go alone.

Though Yu Xiaogang told Tang San that Lu Yu said Village Chief Jack would accompany him, the villagers of Holy Soul Village were poor, and old Jack surely could not afford to hire help to obtain a century-old soul ring.

As for going alone to battle soul beasts—

Tang San, with memories from a previous life and mastery of Tang Sect’s ultimate techniques, was not confident in defeating a hundred-year-old soul beast.

He presumed Lu Yu had only obtained a ten-year soul ring.

At this thought, Tang San felt a twinge of regret.

Lu Yu possessed innate full soul power, making him a genius and a fellow townsman, so Tang San had planned to assist him.

Then he would bring Lu Yu into the Tang Sect, helping to expand its influence in this other world.

But Lu Yu was content with mediocrity, impatiently acquiring just a ten-year soul ring, causing Tang San to abandon his original plan.

Putting his thoughts aside, Tang San rose and opened the window, gazing eastward, his eyes flickering with a faint purple light.

After a moment, he turned and left.

Today, the teacher would take him to obtain his soul ring!

Tang San was also somewhat eager to see what kind of ability he would gain after acquiring his first soul ring.

Even though his main martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, surely acquiring the best-age soul ring would make him far stronger than his peers at Nottingham Junior Soul Master Academy.

After acquiring his first soul ring, Lu Yu began a routine revolving between the playground, classroom, and dormitory.

He often skipped the canteen, having his roommates bring him meals instead.

He went to the playground to fulfill his work-study duties and earn some copper soul coins.

Attendance in the classroom was mostly for appearances; although he already knew much of the knowledge taught, failure to attend would soon result in expulsion.

Being expelled from the Junior Soul Master Academy would make it extremely difficult for Lu Yu to attend the Intermediate or Advanced Soul Master Academies later.

Before fully growing, Lu Yu understood the need to keep a low profile.

However, he listened very attentively during lessons on soul beast knowledge.

Previously in the soul beast forest, he had suffered due to his inability to distinguish soul beast species and ages, resorting to the crude method of fighting to judge.

The remainder of his time was devoted to cultivating Reverse Threefold, the Golden Light Curse, and Thunder Techniques, while also studying the "Complete Collection of Talismans."

Thus, apart from eating, attending class, and fulfilling his work-study duties, Lu Yu spent nearly all his time training in his dormitory.

Over time, most people considered him reclusive and rarely approached him.

Tang San, on the other hand, was frequently seen alongside Xiao Wu, practicing the Wild Cloak Hammer technique at the blacksmith’s shop and studying various martial soul knowledge with Yu Xiaogang.

Most roommates greatly admired Lu Yu’s steadfast training, but Yu Xiaogang scoffed upon learning of it, regarding Lu Yu as a negative example for Tang San.

In Yu Xiaogang’s view, Lu Yu was simply practicing in isolation!

While cultivation is important, practical combat experience is even more so!

Wherever there are people, there is conflict. Though most students at the Junior Soul Master Academy were young, as soul masters, friction was inevitable.

The teachers often turned a blind eye, deliberately allowing students to spar to learn combat and accumulate experience.

As long as incidents did not escalate, the academy usually did not intervene.

But Lu Yu was like a breath of fresh air—never causing trouble or conflicts, solely focused on training in his dormitory.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
