Is the First Soul Ring a Domain-Type One?

Lu Jun finally understood what Leng Yaozhu meant when she said he had company.

He looked at the silver-haired girl standing beside Leng Yaozhu.

Hmm...

His head felt itchy.

Was his brain about to grow in?

Although in the original story, the Silver Dragon King had also taken Leng Yaozhu as her master... that part was true.

But wasn't this way too early?

Weren't you supposed to have amnesia?

What happened to the amnesia-and-split-personality plotline?

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Gu Yue Na. Her Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon, a true dragon-type Martial Soul that controls the elements. Like you, she also has Innate Full Soul Power." Leng Yaozhu introduced the silver-haired girl to Lu Jun.

"Though she doesn't possess an Ultimate Attribute, she's still very strong. You two happen to be the same age and are both my students, so you must get along well."

Gu Yue Na looked at Lu Jun, walked over to his side, and unexpectedly abandoned her previous aloof attitude to speak first.

"Hello."

"Mm." Lu Jun remained expressionless.

For a moment, he had no idea how to even begin making fun of this.

Watching the two children interact, Leng Yaozhu truly hoped they could have a happy childhood.

However, Lu Jun's behavior surprised her somewhat.

"Is it because the other party is a girl his own age? Is he feeling embarrassed? He's even talking less."

Leng Yaozhu looked at the two children of the same age.

"Next, I'll explain the Meditation Cultivation Method of the Spirit Pagoda, as well as the Second Profession you'll need to choose for the path of becoming Battle Armor Masters."

"You both have excellent talent. Becoming Battle Armor Masters is inevitable for you, and I also hope that in the future, you can become the pillars of the Spirit Pagoda."

As long as it wasn't the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Lu Jun silently thought to himself.

He was still very curious how a single Mysterious Heaven Skill could remain in use from ten thousand years ago all the way to this era twenty thousand years later.

The people of Douluo Continent really didn't know how to improve.

Using one Mysterious Heaven Skill until the end—were they really just living off the achievements of their ancestors?

"Also, the two of you will both be Core Disciples cultivated by our Spirit Pagoda. This is the treatment afforded to Core Disciples."

Leng Yaozhu took out two Storage Soul Tools and handed one each to Gu Yue Na and Lu Jun.

"Of course, this will only last for three years."

"Once those three years are up, if you don't cultivate diligently and fail to prove your outstanding talent to the Spirit Pagoda, then even if I am your teacher, I won't be able to preserve your status as Core Disciples."

Lu Jun briefly checked what was inside the Storage Soul Tool.

There were Pills such as Soul Ascension Pills that could significantly raise one's Soul Power Level.

There were also Marrow Cleansing Pills and Pills that could raise one's Innate Soul Power Level, improve one's physique, and so on.

There was even Whale Rubber.

Whale Rubber was good stuff. It had been widely circulated ten thousand years ago and could improve a Soul Master's physical strength, meridians, and provide all-around benefits to the body.

It was an excellent tonic.

Of course, the most important thing was—

It also enhanced virility.

Considering that one effect alone, it was absurd that whale-type Spirit Beasts hadn't been eaten to extinction.

"Don't rush to take the Pills inside." Leng Yaozhu specifically reminded them, "First become proficient in the cultivation method and meditate on your own for a month. Then take the Pills alongside your cultivation."

"Of course, you can take the Marrow Cleansing Pills and physique-improving medicine first. Take them one at a time. Only after you've fully absorbed the remaining medicinal effects in your body should you take the next one."

"Yes, Teacher."

"Mm, I'll first take you to your respective training rooms." Leng Yaozhu nodded in satisfaction.

"As Core Disciples, you can enjoy the Simulated Training Rooms specially created by the Spirit Pagoda for various types of Soul Masters."

"Training rooms are also divided into lower and higher grades. There are dedicated private training rooms, where cultivation will certainly be twice as effective with half the effort. Of course, using one for an entire night costs quite a lot of points."

"Come take a look."

She first brought Gu Yue Na to a training room filled with all kinds of elements, then took Lu Jun to a training room blanketed in ice and snow.

"This is the training room most suitable for you. We've simulated the environmental conditions of the Extreme North. Try cultivating here and see whether your cultivation speed increases."

Lu Jun nodded. After sitting cross-legged and meditating, he found that his cultivation speed had indeed increased.

Technology really did improve life.

Lu Jun opened his eyes, a wisp of Ice Mist gathering at his fingertips.

Within the Mimicry Environment, the speed at which his Soul Power circulated had increased by nearly thirty percent.

Leng Yaozhu stood before him with her arms folded, watching Lu Jun in the center of the training ground with interest.

"By the way, I still haven't asked you—what is your First Soul Skill?" She smiled faintly. "Don't worry, it's just the two of us here. Why don't you use your Soul Skill on me? There's no need to hold back."

"If someone experiences your Soul Skill firsthand, you'll naturally gain a clearer understanding of its exact effects."

"Thank you, Sister Leng. Then I won't hold back."

Lu Jun nodded and loosely clenched his right hand. A dark-blue longsword appeared out of thin air, and a yellow hundred-year Soul Ring slowly rose from its blade, radiating faint Soul Power Fluctuations.

Following Leng Yaozhu's instructions, Lu Jun circulated his Soul Power and began activating his First Soul Skill, driving the Ice Abyss Sword fiercely into the ground!

"Crack..."

Centered on the sword tip, thick Ice Crystals surged outward like a tide at astonishing speed, covering the entire ground almost in the blink of an eye.

The ice layer was deep blue, its surface covered in fine frost patterns and radiating bone-piercing cold.

Leng Yaozhu remained where she stood, allowing the Ice Crystals to climb over her boots. Yet when she saw that Lu Jun's First Soul Skill was actually an area-of-effect ability, she was greatly surprised.

"A Domain Type Soul Skill? His First Soul Ring is already such an incomparably precious Domain Type?"

Could this be... an Innate Domain that came with a Super Martial Soul?

Feeling a chill beneath her feet, Leng Yaozhu lowered her gaze. The ice layer had swiftly spread to her ankles, then continued upward, freezing both her feet firmly in place in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm?"

Leng Yaozhu raised her brows slightly, a trace of surprise flashing through her eyes.

She tried to lift a foot, only to find that the ice was far sturdier than she had expected.

This was absolutely not an effect an ordinary hundred-year Soul Skill could achieve.

"Interesting. No wonder those Soul Masters earlier couldn't shatter the Ice Crystals right away."

She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the freezing power around her feet. The cold contained in the ice not only immobilized her, but was also slowly eroding her Soul Power, attempting to spread further.

"Is this a characteristic of Ultimate Ice?" Leng Yaozhu was inwardly shocked. "But how could that be..."

She opened her eyes, her gaze toward Lu Jun gaining a deeper meaning. Then she gave a soft laugh and lightly turned her right palm.

The ice around her feet shattered at once, scattering countless Ice Crystals in every direction. Leng Yaozhu easily stepped forward, leaving a thin layer of frost beneath her sole.

"Sister Leng..."

When Leng Yaozhu shattered the ice around her feet, Lu Jun felt the Soul Power in his body rapidly drain away, and then his skill was broken by her.

As a result, he no longer had enough Soul Power to sustain his First Soul Skill.

"Not bad." Leng Yaozhu nodded approvingly. "Let me briefly explain the specific effects of your First Soul Skill."
