Douluo: I Have a Red Bean Bun Chapter 19

The two of them set out once more.

However, it seemed their good luck had run out. For three days straight, they failed to find a Soul Beast suitable for Lu Fei. Either its age was insufficient, or its quality was lacking.

It was not until the evening of the third day that they finally encountered a suitable plant-type Soul Beast: an Evergreen Ivy around seven hundred years old.

This had originally been one of the Soul Beasts Lu Fei had envisioned. Both its quality and age were highly suitable, and with Lu Yu making a move, it was easily taken down.

In the end, it truly gave Lu Fei a Soul Power amplification skill.

And the amplification was quite substantial.

"Come on, make one for me to try." Once Lu Fei had absorbed the Soul Ring, Lu Yu could barely wait to taste his bun.

Lu Fei did not hesitate and immediately chanted, "I Have a Red Bean Bun."

Hearing that chant, Lu Yu's face darkened.

It reminded him of Oscar, as well as another support Soul Master from the Douluo series.

He simply could not understand it.

Why were all their chants so bizarre?

Still, looking at the steaming hot bun, Lu Yu could not help but accept it and take a bite.

Mmm... the texture was pretty good.

More importantly, the Soul Power amplification had actually reached a terrifying fifty percent.

This amplification effect was simply monstrous.

Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was no better than this, was it?

Although their amplification ratio increased alongside their level, their Martial Souls ultimately had flaws. Furthermore, due to talent limitations, very few of them could truly cultivate to the level of Soul Saint.

So if they were really compared, there were already very few Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters whose Soul Skills could match Lu Fei's.

Worthy of being a seven-hundred-year First Soul Skill.

The quality was absolutely top-notch.

Then there was his Soul Power. Lu Fei's Soul Power Level had reached level thirteen as well, though he had only just entered level thirteen and still had a long way to go before level fourteen.

This was not difficult to understand.

First, Lu Yu had reached level ten a month before him, and Lu Yu had not idled away that month. Second, there was the nature of their Martial Souls.

Support-type Martial Souls were inherently slower to cultivate Soul Power.

But regardless, their Soul Power Levels had caught up with genius Soul Masters like Tang San, officially placing them among the first echelon.

At this point, their trip to the Soul Hunting Forest could be considered a perfect conclusion. Overall, Lu Yu was quite satisfied.

After resting in the Soul Hunting Forest for a night, the two left early the next morning and hired a carriage to head back.

They had already spent nearly seven days on this trip, and the journey back would waste another day and a half. Who knew what the academy was thinking?

They would not think the two of them had already croaked, would they?

They did not waste their time on the road either, devoting all of it to cultivating Soul Power. They were still very weak, and every second was precious.

Soul Master Registration

Nuoding City, Spirit Hall.

In order to complete their new task as quickly as possible, Lu Yu and Lu Fei did not hurry back to Notting Academy after returning to Nuoding City. Instead, they came to Spirit Hall.

"Grandmaster Su Yuntao!"

The moment they reached the entrance of Spirit Hall, Lu Yu spotted Su Yuntao from afar and hurriedly called out.

"Little ones, so it's you two. What brings you here?" Su Yuntao turned around and was momentarily stunned when he saw them.

He thought for a long while before remembering who they were.

The two had left a decent impression on him back then, but more than half a year had passed. It was already impressive that he could remember them at all.

As for their names, forget about it.

Lu Yu hurried forward and said, "We're here to register as Soul Masters."

"Register as Soul Masters?" Su Yuntao looked somewhat confused. "If I remember correctly, your Innate Soul Power was level five, right?"

Lu Yu nodded. "That's right."

Su Yuntao immediately fell silent.

What in the world was going on with this world?

Their Innate Soul Power was level five, yet they had cultivated to level eleven in just over half a year? Was that not ridiculously outrageous?

"Um... little one..."

Lu Yu quickly interrupted, "Grandmaster Su Yuntao, my name is Lu Yu."

"Cough, cough..." Su Yuntao awkwardly corrected himself. "Um... Lu Yu, this isn't something to joke about. Are you sure you've already reached level eleven?"

"Not exactly," Lu Fei rushed to say.

"Whew..."

Only then did Su Yuntao let out a breath of relief. It seemed he had misunderstood. Perhaps they had heard somewhere that registered Soul Masters received subsidies, so they had come to try their luck.

Lu Fei added, "We've both reached level thirteen."

"What?"

Su Yuntao could not stop himself from crying out.

Level thirteen?

Nine months... no, they probably did not know how to cultivate before entering the academy. More accurately, they had increased their Soul Power by eight levels in just eight months.

One level a month?

What kind of joke was that?

Su Yuntao looked at them seriously. "Are you serious?"

"Wouldn't a test tell you?" Lu Yu knew that this news might be difficult for Su Yuntao to accept.

So he did not offer any further explanation.

"Fine, come with me," Su Yuntao said.

With an uneasy heart, Su Yuntao led the two to the door of an office on the second floor of Spirit Hall and pushed it open without ceremony.

"Who is it, barging in so recklessly?"

The instant the door opened, an elderly voice sounded from within the office.

This should be Ma Xiunuo, Lu Yu thought as he looked at the man.

Su Yuntao said somewhat resentfully, "Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, please stop nagging. These two children are here for advancement appraisal."

"Oh?"

Looking at Lu Yu and Lu Fei, Ma Xiunuo suspiciously turned to Su Yuntao. "Are you sure these two children are here for advancement appraisal rather than Martial Soul awakening?"

Su Yuntao smiled bitterly. "Of course I'm sure. I personally awakened their Martial Souls, and they have both obtained their First Soul Rings now, so I'll have to trouble you."

In truth, he was not entirely sure either, but he figured these two brats would not come all the way to Spirit Hall just to fool him.

However, he did not leave in a hurry, because he wanted to see whether Lu Fei had been telling the truth.

Eight levels in half a year was simply too absurd.

Even that Tang whatever, with Innate Full Soul Power, had not been this outrageous.

Ma Xiunuo did not waste words and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you for your advancement appraisal."

After saying that, Ma Xiunuo walked out of the office first. Lu Yu and the other two followed close behind, and they soon arrived at the Appraisal Room.

Since they were officially registering as Soul Masters, they first had to test their Martial Souls and then their Soul Power Levels. Ma Xiunuo asked, "Which of you will go first?"

Lu Fei, who loved showing off, immediately stepped forward. "I'll go first."

Ma Xiunuo nodded. "Then release your Martial Soul."

Lu Fei nodded, raised his right hand, and calmed his mind. As his Soul Power circulated, a steaming hot bun appeared in his right hand, accompanied by a deep yellow Soul Ring.

Upon seeing the Soul Ring, Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao's expressions stiffened.

Yellow—a hundred-year Soul Ring.

And its color was so deep. That meant the Soul Ring had to be at least five hundred years old, but how was that possible?

Everyone knew that the limit for a First Soul Ring should be four hundred and twenty-three years. Even for a genius, the gap could not possibly be this great.

Su Yuntao anxiously asked, "Little one, may I ask how many years old was the Soul Beast that produced this Soul Ring?"

Lu Fei frowned slightly. He had not expected the other man to see through it at a glance. As he hesitated, he could not help looking toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu said calmly, "Seven hundred years."

He had not come here merely to register. More importantly, he wanted to attract the attention of Spirit Hall's higher-ups. And how could he do that?

He thought that nothing would draw more attention than a First Soul Ring that was seven hundred years old.

"What? Seven hundred years? How is that possible?"

As Lu Yu's words fell, Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao cried out in unison, their faces filled with shock.

"Child, can you tell me how you managed it?" Ma Xiunuo's eyes burned with excitement, and there was even urgency in his voice.

Lu Fei frowned again.

This old man really did not know his place.

Lu Yu frowned as well. "Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, I'm very sorry, but we can't answer that question."

"Uh..." Only then did Ma Xiunuo realize he had lost his composure and hurriedly apologized. "Sorry, I got a little carried away."

Lu Yu nodded. "It's fine. Please continue with the testing."

Only then did Ma Xiunuo nod, taking out the Soul Power testing crystal and beginning to test Lu Fei's Soul Power Level.

As for Su Yuntao, he had long since been dumbfounded.

No matter how hard he racked his brain, he could not understand how Lu Fei had broken the long-standing limit on the age of Soul Rings one could endure. It made no sense.

Level thirteen Soul Power was no surprise. And with the seven-hundred-year First Soul Ring as a precedent, Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao were not particularly shocked.

Soon, it was Lu Yu's turn.

Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao were both extremely expectant when it came to Lu Yu, because they could tell that Lu Fei followed Lu Yu's lead.

And if Lu Fei's First Soul Ring could reach seven hundred years, then what about Lu Yu's? Would his be seven hundred years as well, or perhaps even higher?

If that was the case, their branch hall might truly soar. This was news that could change the fate of Soul Masters across the entire continent.

Once it was reported, the rewards would certainly be substantial.

Moreover, as the ones who had awakened their Martial Souls and registered them, the two of them might even be promoted directly to work at a higher-level Sub-Hall.

Promotion and wealth were right before their eyes.

"Child, come on, it's your turn," Ma Xiunuo said, his voice trembling slightly.

Lu Yu did not dawdle. He directly summoned his Eight-Faced Han Sword. Seeing the deep yellow Soul Ring pulsing above and below it, Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao both felt their bodies tremble.

A Title Douluo Is Nothing

That was right, this was the feeling.

Promotion and wealth were guaranteed.

But to make sure there were no surprises, Ma Xiunuo still probed, "Little one, your Soul Ring is also..."

Lu Yu naturally understood what he meant, but he merely nodded faintly without explaining further.

"Right, little ones, I still don't know your names." Amid his excitement, Ma Xiunuo hurriedly asked again.

Lu Yu said, "My name is Lu Yu, and this is my younger brother, Lu Fei."
