First Soul Skill, Azure Thunder Tyrant Body

Azure Thunder Tyrant Body, this was the soul skill he obtained from the Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion.

Upon activation, a layer of thunder patterns would emerge on his skin, increasing his strength and speed by 100% each, while also boosting his efficiency in channeling lightning by 100%.

Furthermore, for the duration of this first soul skill, his susceptibility to crowd control effects would be significantly reduced. This effect would fluctuate based on the disparity in Soul Power Level between him and his opponent, and with no time limit, it could be maintained as long as his soul power held out.

One soul skill providing three types of buffs, accompanied by a prestigious anti-interruption effect, all without a time limit.

It could be said that Yu Tianchen was quite satisfied with the first soul ring he had acquired.

He stomped one foot, lightning flickering beneath his sole, and his figure surged toward Yu Yuanzhen at an incredible speed. Almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Yu Yuanzhen's side and threw a punch.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled thud.

Yu Yuanzhen's broad palm caught Yu Tianchen's punch steadily.

Feeling the power transmitted through his palm, as well as the sudden surge in speed when Yu Tianchen rushed over, even Yu Yuanzhen could not help but feel slightly surprised.

"Good lad, is this your first soul skill, boosting both your strength and speed?"

"That's not all!"

Yu Tianchen took a step back to distance himself from Yu Yuanzhen and raised his hand in a beckoning gesture.

The five drums floating behind him rang out in unison.

High above in the sky, dark clouds gathered at a rapid pace, and over a dozen thick bolts of lightning suddenly descended, striking fiercely toward Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, his internal soul power surging to directly disperse all the incoming lightning.

"Not bad, not bad. The amount of lightning you can channel has also increased quite a bit compared to before."

"I didn't expect that this thousand-year Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion would actually grant you three different types of buffs!"

"This thousand-year soul ring is worth it!"

Yu Yuanzhen said with admiration.

During their journey, he had already witnessed Yu Tianchen's method of using the Five Thunder Shock Drums to channel celestial lightning to temper his physical body.

Compared to that time, the lightning Yu Tianchen summoned now was significantly more powerful.

"It's not just three different buffs, Grandpa."

Yu Tianchen had finished demonstrating everything he wanted to show and chose not to continue the attack.

While retracting his martial soul, he also explained to Yu Yuanzhen about the effect of his first soul skill that significantly reduced crowd control.

"In that case, if you reach the Title Douluo realm, wouldn't the crowd control from soul masters below the Title Douluo level be no different from being immune?!"

After hearing Yu Tianchen's explanation, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened.

As a Title Douluo, he understood almost immediately just how much this first soul skill would benefit Yu Tianchen in the future.

Even Yu Yuanzhen himself couldn't help but feel a bit envious of the effects this soul skill provided.

"Theoretically, that should be the case, though for those with cultivation higher than mine, the existing control effects would be weakened significantly."

"But if they are too strong, I suspect it won't have any effect."

"That is already quite impressive."

Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile.

For a first soul skill to have so many buffs, it was already a monstrously powerful ability.

By comparison, those minor flaws were completely insignificant.

"Alright, Xiaochen, recover your soul power where you are. We'll rest for a bit, and then we'll prepare to return to the sect."

"I've had your second and third grandfathers prepare a specialized mimetic cultivation ground for you. Once we return to the sect..."

Yu Yuanzhen had just intended to tell Yu Tianchen about entering the mimetic cultivation ground after returning to the sect.

But just then, a panicked cry rang out from not far away.

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianchen both frowned and turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

They saw that in the forest nearby, a bird-type soul beast with a body of deep azure, shimmering with faint traces of frost, was flapping its wings in a panic as it rushed out. Whether its wings were injured or something else was wrong, it was unclear.

The creature didn't flap more than twice before it flew straight toward Yu Tianchen.

But before it could even get close to Yu Tianchen, a surging pressure of soul power instantly pinned it to the ground.

"A mere four-hundred-year soul beast, and you dare to act presumptuously in front of me?"

"You truly have a lot of nerve!"

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes brimmed with cold killing intent:

"Xiaochen, rest easy and recover your soul power."

"Grandpa will roast some bird meat for you in a moment."

"Grandpa, it seems to be injured."

Yu Tianchen noticed that the bird-type soul beast's wings appeared irregularly bent and reminded Yu Yuanzhen:

"Could it be that someone hunted this soul beast, causing it to panic and crash over here?"

"Whether it was hunted or not doesn't matter."

Yu Yuanzhen spoke indifferently:

"Since we caught it, grandfather and grandson, it belongs to us now."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, raised his hand to grab the bird-type soul beast by the neck, and lifted it up.

Hearing Yu Yuanzhen say this, Yu Tianchen didn't say anything more; he found an empty spot, sat cross-legged, and began to recover his soul power.

Seeing Yu Tianchen enter a state of meditation, Yu Yuanzhen also began to prepare to process this ice bird.

Although it was an ice-attribute soul beast and its taste wasn't particularly good.

It was still food, after all.

Neither Yu Yuanzhen nor Yu Tianchen had very high standards when it came to their appetite.

Just as Yu Yuanzhen raised his hand, preparing to end the ice bird's life.

From the direction of the forest where the bird-type soul beast had rushed out, a hurried voice suddenly rang out.

"Your Excellency, please show mercy!"

Immediately after, a middle-aged man appeared, bringing a delicate and cute blue-haired girl as they flew out of the forest and landed on the ground.

The middle-aged man cupped his hands in a salute toward Yu Yuanzhen and said:

"I am Shui Wusheng, the City Lord of Skywater City. This is my young daughter, Shui Bing'er. She is six years old this year and has just cultivated to level ten."

"The soul beast in your hand is very suitable for my daughter's first soul ring, so we have been hunting it all the way here."

"I never expected to clash with you. Please, let it go, and Shui Wusheng will owe you a favor."

"Oh? So it is City Lord Shui."

Originally, Yu Yuanzhen was somewhat displeased because Shui Wusheng had interrupted him.

However, Shui Wusheng's manners were impeccable, which caused his expression to soften somewhat.

"If I recall correctly, the City Lord of Skywater City should be at the Soul Saint cultivation level, right?"

"You, a dignified Soul Saint, were hunting a century-level soul beast and yet let it escape?"

"That excuse doesn't hold water. Bring out some substantial evidence."

"Otherwise, don't even mention this soul beast."

"Today, you two will have to leave something behind before you can leave."

As he finished speaking, nine soul rings appeared in sequence beneath Yu Yuanzhen's feet.

The pressure belonging to a Titled Douluo surged directly toward the two people opposite him.

"Ti... Titled Douluo..."

The moment they saw the nine soul rings, the faces of both Shui Wusheng and Shui Bing'er turned deathly pale.

They truly had not expected to encounter a Titled Douluo in this place.

A visible layer of fine cold sweat broke out on Shui Wusheng's forehead.

He hurriedly shielded Shui Bing'er behind him, then bowed respectfully to Yu Yuanzhen once more:

"Please, Your Excellency, calm your anger!"

"To tell you the truth, although this soul beast is a century-level one, it possesses special life-saving methods."

"At the time, I thought I had already suppressed it and was letting my daughter prepare to obtain the soul ring."

"I never expected it to counterattack at the last moment, break free from control, and escape."

"Your Excellency can examine its wings; there should be signs of them being broken, and on its underside, there are also several wounds."
