Douluo: Martial Soul Ah Yin, Exposing Tang San's True Colors

Facing the Blazing Savage Bull, Su Yun wanted to unleash all fifty forms of the Prairie Fire Spear Technique.

He wanted to test exactly how much combat power he currently possessed.

The most basic moves of spearplay: thrust, jab, flick, parry, block...

And the fifty forms of the Prairie Fire Spear Technique were all evolved from these thirteen basic moves.

Therefore, Su Yun had always strived to practice these thirteen fundamental moves to their absolute limit!

So, for a time, relying on the agile footwork of his Wind God Leg, Su Yun not only avoided being touched by the Blazing Savage Bull in the slightest.

Instead, he disrupted the latter's pace, leading it into a trap where it stepped onto the leaves of the Lazy Tree.

At this moment, Su Yun would seize the opportunity of the Blazing Savage Bull slowing down to strike decisively, inflicting wounds upon its body.

Even though the defensive power of the Blazing Savage Bull was formidable among soul beasts of the same level, Su Yun kept attacking the same spot on its body.

Like water dripping through stone, he was always able to create a wound.

As time passed, this wound grew larger and larger.

The pain from the tearing wound and the loss of blood gradually caused the Blazing Savage Bull to lose its sanity!

And when the Blazing Savage Bull lost its mind and charged furiously at Su Yun, the latter would consecutively execute defensive spear techniques to neutralize its attacks.

"What an impressive spear technique. When did this little guy, Su Yun, practice such a fine set of spear skills?" Teacher Xiong watched as Su Yun toyed with the Blazing Savage Bull like a butterfly flitting through flowers, unable to help but feel astonished.

He almost even thought that the long spear in Su Yun's hand was his martial soul, rather than that Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power.

Ah Yin, residing within Su Yun's body, saw his offensive and defensive maneuvers becoming increasingly fluid and began to praise him in her heart.

A month ago, when Su Yun first came into contact with the Prairie Fire Spear Technique, he couldn't even hold the spear with a standard posture.

Yet, a month later, through his diligent practice and the combat techniques he had learned, he was able to go one-on-one against a genuine century-old soul beast.

One could only say that this child was a genius!

"Boom!"

A moment later, accompanied by a massive, thunderous crashing sound.

The massive body of the Blazing Savage Bull finally collapsed into the thicket of the Lazy Tree, shaking the foliage to create a path.

Su Yun glanced toward Teacher Xiong's position, and upon receiving an affirmative nod, he walked directly toward the Lazy Tree.

"Sister Yin, choosing this Lazy Tree for my first soul ring shouldn't be a problem, right?" Walking up to the Lazy Tree, he chopped it down with his spear, and looking at the yellow soul ring that condensed and emerged, Su Yun asked in his heart.

"Rest assured, little Su Yun."

Ah Yin's voice carried a hint of confidence as she said, "With me here, your first soul skill will absolutely not be inferior."

Ah Yin's current state was quite special.

As Su Yun's martial soul, she possessed extremely high intelligence and control over the martial soul.

Therefore, during the absorption of the soul ring, relying on her own spiritual power and the top-tier quality of the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin could absorb all the traits from the Lazy Tree's soul ring that were most suitable for Su Yun!

Moreover, with her discernment, the age of this Lazy Tree's soul ring was around 420 years, which was just right for Su Yun's current physical constitution!

"Alright then, I'll begin."

Su Yun whispered, then sat cross-legged beside the yellow Lazy Tree soul ring.

"Hum."

Su Yun's left hand, accompanied by the glowing soul mark, manifested the Gold-Veined Blue Silver Grass (Blue Silver Emperor), and at the same time, he channeled his soul power to draw the century-old soul ring over, causing it to float directly above the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Begin absorption."

Su Yun closed his eyes and, just as he had envisioned, began to continuously absorb the power within the Lazy Tree's soul ring.

Meanwhile, Ah Yin, residing within Su Yun's body, sensed the unique soul power of the Lazy Tree entering Su Yun's meridians and began to intentionally or unintentionally filter out the soul power best suited for the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Let's go, we need to protect Su Yun." Seeing that Su Yun had already begun absorbing the soul ring, Teacher Xiong naturally wouldn't stay where he was, so he stood up and walked toward Su Yun's position.

The reason he hadn't moved earlier was because he had agreed to Su Yun's request to challenge the soul beast alone to obtain his soul ring.

Now that Su Yun had begun absorbing the soul ring, it was his duty as a teacher to accompany him.

A soul master absorbing a soul ring and delivering the final blow to the soul beast being hunted were both the most critical links in the process.

There could not be the slightest mistake.

Otherwise, the soul ring absorption would either fail, or a soul ring would be wasted in vain.

"We're going too." The twin brothers immediately followed in Teacher Xiong's footsteps.

When it came down to it, Su Yun had played a part in the soul rings they possessed, or rather, Su Yun had contributed quite significantly.

They didn't know how to thank him; after all, Su Yun was younger than them, and now it seemed his strength was far greater than theirs as well.

If you really asked them to come up with something to thank Su Yun, they wouldn't know what to offer.

Therefore, staying by Su Yun's side now to prevent him from being disturbed by other soul beasts while absorbing the soul ring was the best they could do.

Su Yun took a bit of time to absorb his first soul ring; after about half an hour, he finally woke from his meditative state.

"How is it, Su Yun? How do you feel?" Seeing Su Yun open his eyes, Teacher Xiong immediately leaned in to ask.

The other two also craned their necks, as they were very curious to know how strong Su Yun had become.

"Su Yun, after my brother and I finished absorbing our first soul rings, our Soul Power Level both reached level eleven. What about you? How much did you go up?" the Twin Brother Younger asked.

Su Yun did not hide anything and said, "Level fourteen."

"Level fourteen?!"

As the words fell, three roars immediately exploded into the air.

Among the three voices, Teacher Xiong's was the loudest and most resonant.

"Su Yun, you aren't lying to me, are you?"

"How could I possibly lie to you?" Su Yun shook his head with a wry smile; why was it that no one believed him when he told the truth?

He held out his hand and said, "If you don't believe me, you can check for yourself."

Teacher Xiong did not hesitate in the slightest; he immediately grabbed Su Yun's hand, and a surge of soul power, forceful yet carrying a hint of gentle probing, entered Su Yun's body.

Su Yun did not react at all, simply standing in place with a smile.

After a long while, Teacher Xiong finally let go of Su Yun's hand, his face filled with shock: It's actually true?! He actually jumped three minor levels immediately after absorbing his first soul ring!

Teacher Xiong remembered that Tang San, who was also a first-year work-study student, had also reached level thirteen in soul power after absorbing the soul ring of a Datura Snake!

Moreover, he and Su Yun were from the same village.

This couldn't help but make Teacher Xiong sigh: Blue Silver Grass really is good; it can absorb a bit more soul power.

"Level fourteen soul power? It actually even surpassed Tang San by one level!"

The Twin Brother Younger cheered, then asked, "Su Yun, what is your first soul skill?"

This question went straight to the point.

After all, according to the examples Teacher Xiong had mentioned, most soul masters who absorbed the soul ring of a Lazy Tree ended up in a very miserable state.

However, upon hearing their words, Su Yun seemed to have been prepared; the Blue Silver Emperor—no, it should be called the Blue Silver Tree Emperor now—slowly floated out from Su Yun's hand.

Originally, Su Yun's Blue Silver Grass was only about a dozen centimeters long and looked extremely thin and small; even after evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor, it had only gained a layer of golden patterns on its exterior.

But the current Blue Silver Tree Emperor was a full one point four meters tall.

The interweaving of pale blue and emerald green, along with the embellishment of golden specks—such a sight of the Blue Silver Tree Emperor martial soul immediately piqued Teacher Xiong's interest!

"Is this... Blue Silver Grass?" Teacher Xiong asked, his eyes widening slightly.

"Of course it is."

Su Yun smiled and explained, "It's just that it has evolved from grass into a tree."

"It can actually evolve?"

The twin brothers spoke in unison and looked at each other; they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes: "It's hard to believe."

Indeed, for work-study students from small places, this kind of thing was beyond their scope of understanding.

However, Teacher Xiong, standing to the side, immediately understood the logic behind it after hearing Su Yun's words.

Simply put, all the martial souls that had absorbed the Lazy Tree in the past had become trash, and the people themselves had become trash too.

Yet Su Yun had not only avoided becoming trash, but his martial soul had actually evolved from grass into a tree!

Even a fool could see that Su Yun had received a massive benefit!

"My first soul skill is to create leaves identical to those of the Lazy Tree. Anyone who steps on the Lazy Tree leaves I create will be slowed for 3 seconds, and the scent will also persist for three minutes."

Su Yun stated his first soul skill: "Moreover, I can create the Lazy Tree leaves in large quantities to control the enemy's positioning, and the soul power consumption is extremely low."

"As for eating the Lazy Tree leaves I create, although I cannot make the Lazy Leaf explode inside the body, I can use my martial soul to directly lock onto its location."

"Hiss—"
