The five soul skills were Sunlight Illumination, Ghost Shadow Multiple, Diamond Transformation, Thousand Leaves Dance,
Sunlight Illumination came from the Sun Flower Martial Soul.
It was an auxiliary soul skill and was only effective on Plant Soul Masters.
But its effects were powerful.
It allowed Plant Soul Masters to gain a Sun Power boost. For Soul Masters at Lu Duzhou's level, their Soul Power Recovery Speed doubled, while their Soul Skill Power increased by twenty percent.
A twenty-percent increase in Soul Skill Power had a huge impact on combat power.
More importantly, as Lu Duzhou's level rose in the future, the boost would become even stronger.
It was an excellent soul skill.
Ghost Shadow Multiple came from the Ghost Vine Martial Soul.
It allowed the Martial Soul and Soul Master to split into numerous phantoms. Unless someone specialized in Pupil Technique Soul Skills, even a Soul Master thirty levels higher than Lu Duzhou would be unable to discern his true body.
It was purely an illusion-type soul skill and had little offensive power.
Diamond Transformation came from the Diamond Bamboo Martial Soul.
His body expanded, gaining the enhancement of Adamantine Force. His resistance to abnormal conditions, attack power, defense, and strength all doubled. Its current duration was five minutes.
Thousand Leaves Dance came from the Silverleaf Tree Martial Soul.
It released dozens, or even up to thousands, of leaves that danced like blades within a certain range, continuously attacking targets inside.
The power of this soul skill also depended on the Soul Power infused into it. As long as Lu Duzhou stood on the ground, he would never lack Soul Power.
Clearly, like Vine Dragon, the soul skill he had previously gained from the Green Vine Martial Soul, Lu Duzhou could unleash power far beyond his current level with this skill.
The final soul skill, Wind Blade Massacre, came from the Raging Wind Willow Martial Soul.
This soul skill was similar to Thousand Leaves Dance, except the leaves were replaced by wind blades.
When the two soul skills were used together, they were almost impossible to evade, creating an all-encompassing attack without a single blind spot.
With that, counting the Blue Silver Domain, the number of attack-related soul skills Lu Duzhou had obtained from Planting Martial Souls reached ten.
One had to know that ordinary Soul Masters, even after becoming Title Douluos with nine Soul Rings, only had nine skills.
Yet including his first soul skill and other basic soul skills, he had already mastered more than ten soul skills.
Combined with his practically limitless Soul Power, once he fought, it would be an absolute bombardment. He alone could achieve full fire coverage!
After adding the Martial Souls of those ten people, his One Third of an Acre of Land was basically full.
Half a month later, Lu Duzhou returned to Notting City.
The moment Xiao Wu saw him, she rushed over. Her legs wrapped around Lu Duzhou as she threw her arms around his neck, having missed him terribly.
"Big Brother! You're finally back!"
Since they had met, the longest they had ever been apart was when she and Tang San had gone to obtain their first Soul Ring.
This time, Lu Duzhou had been gone for over half a month. To Xiao Wu, it had felt like an eternity.
Lu Duzhou naturally supported her and smiled.
"You're thinking about the gifts I brought you, aren't you?"
Xiao Wu asked in surprise:
"There are gifts too?"
Holding her, Lu Duzhou said to Tang San:
"Come on, let's talk inside."
Going inside did not mean returning to the academy dormitories. A year ago, Lu Duzhou had rented a detached two-story house near the academy, with four bedrooms in total.
He and Xiao Wu lived upstairs, while Tang San lived downstairs.
When they reached the living room, Lu Duzhou sat down in a chair, patted his buttocks, and said:
"Stop clinging to me. Go sit properly over there."
But Xiao Wu refused to let go, acting cute as she said:
"No!"
"Big Brother has been gone for so long. I'm afraid that if I let go, you'll leave again."
Lu Duzhou chuckled and said nothing more. He first took out a bracelet and handed it to Tang San.
"Xiao San, this is for you."
"This is a Spatial Soul Tool. It only has one cubic meter of space, but it's still extremely valuable."
"Half the Gold Soul Coins I earned on this trip were spent buying this Soul Tool."
"And these things are always in short supply. I had to ask the Soul Sage Dean of Plant Academy to buy it for me."
Tang San had been troubled by having nowhere to store his Hidden Weapons. Seeing this gift, he immediately rose to his feet in excitement.
"Big Brother! This is far too precious."
"I, I..."
He wanted to say he could not accept it, but he truly needed it badly.
Lu Duzhou waved his hand.
"Alright, don't be so wishy-washy. We're sworn brothers. I'm your Big Brother, and as they say, an elder brother is like a father. It's only natural for me to treat you well."
"Just remember me when something good comes your way in the future."
Tang San's thoughts churned.
Though people said an elder brother was like a father, they were not biological brothers after all. Besides, his Biological Father in this life still needed him, a child, to take care of him. His father had not treated him well at all.
On the contrary, Lu Duzhou treated him more like how a real father should.
If Big Brother really were my dad, that would be great.
The thought startled Tang San the moment it surfaced.
Lu Duzhou was only a year older than him. There was no way he could be his dad.
Tang San quickly cast aside those messy thoughts, then solemnly said to Lu Duzhou:
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
After hesitating slightly, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Big Brother, tomorrow I'll teach you one of my Self-Created Soul Skills, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
Lu Duzhou nodded in satisfaction.
"Good. Teach it to Xiao Wu as well. The three of us are family to begin with."
Tang San nodded again.
Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes at Lu Duzhou and asked expectantly:
"Big Brother, where's my gift?"
Lu Duzhou gave a mysterious smile.
"You'll have to go to your room to see your gift."
Xiao Wu could not wait any longer. She immediately got up, grabbed Lu Duzhou's arm, and pulled him upstairs.
Tang San watched the two enter the room and close the door.
He also returned to his own room and began fiddling with his Hidden Weapons.
To him, the Tang Sect and Hidden Weapons were what mattered most.
Even after living together for two years, he had never told them about his Hidden Weapons.
Even now, only after Lu Duzhou had given him a precious Spatial Soul Tool did he intend to teach him a martial skill from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
Though he had clearly betrayed the Tang Sect, he still regarded himself as its inheritor. Or rather, he believed the Tang Sect was his Tang Sect.
The gift Lu Duzhou had prepared for Xiao Wu was simple: a room full of new clothes and shoes.
There were even clothes to wear underneath.
Seeing so many beautiful outfits, Xiao Wu's eyes practically shone.
In her excitement, she stepped forward and kissed Lu Duzhou on the cheek. Then, blushing, she pushed him out of the room.
After that, Xiao Wu wore a new outfit for Lu Duzhou to see every day.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
Shrek Academy.
Flender excitedly pointed at a blond youth as he introduced him to Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiaogang, this is Dai Mubai, a Star Luo Empire Prince. He has the White Tiger Martial Soul and is already a Level Twenty-Seven Battle Soul Master at twelve years old."
"What do you think? How about taking him as your student?"
When Yu Xiaogang heard that Dai Mubai was a prince, his heart began pounding.
This meant that if Dai Mubai became the emperor of the Star Luo Empire in the future, Yu Xiaogang would become the Imperial Tutor!
At that time, even if he was only a Level Twenty-Nine piece of trash, who would dare look down on him?
If some little thing like Lu Duzhou dared disrespect him again, he could simply have someone chop him down.
He nearly agreed immediately, but fortunately, after decades of acting, his skills had reached an award-winning level. He maintained his unfathomable image.
"So what if he's a prince? The struggles within the Star Luo Royal Family are like raising venomous insects. If he can't survive, he'll ultimately be nothing but a dead man!"
Dai Mubai had already listened to Flender brag about him all the way here. Seeing Yu Xiaogang's manner and thinking of his own circumstances, he immediately knelt and bowed.
"Teacher, please teach me!"
