Douluo: One Person Returns, Heaven-Defying Seal Smashes Tang San

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating.

Now that he had obtained his Second Soul Ring, his top priority was to break through to the second level of Reverse Birth Triple!

Upon reaching the second level, he would be able to transform his body into qi to a certain extent and use qi to mend flesh and blood, rapidly recovering from external injuries in a short period of time.

On Douluo Continent, that was practically a godlike ability!

Before long, after having lunch together, the students of the Seventh Dormitory gradually returned to their room.

Many of them were rather surprised when they saw Lu Yu on his bed.

However, everyone knew that Lu Yu had left these past few days to obtain a Soul Ring, so they did not think much of it.

Although the academy had previously guessed that Lu Yu might have met with an accident, they had not made it public.

After all, a student dying was not good for the academy's reputation.

There were no classes in the afternoon, and no one was in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, they gathered in small groups and began chatting.

Some talked about the morning's lessons, some discussed martial soul cultivation, while others chatted about interesting happenings around the academy.

Just then, a crisp voice suddenly rang out...

"Brother! Didn't you say Lu Yu had probably died? How did he come back? Don't tell me he rose from the dead?"

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, silencing the entire dormitory.

Although Lu Yu was cultivating, he could still hear the activity around him.

Hearing that, the corner of his mouth twitched. He withdrew from his cultivation state and opened his eyes toward the direction of the "double bed."

Xiao Wu was staring at him curiously, as though she had spotted something novel.

Tang San, beside her, looked somewhat embarrassed. He gave Lu Yu an apologetic smile and said, "Lu Yu, sorry. Xiao Wu has always spoken like that. She means no harm."

Lu Yu ignored them and closed his eyes again.

Just then, Tang San suddenly said, "Lu Yu, I want to spar with you!"

Hearing Tang San's words, Lu Yu opened his eyes again and raised a brow.

Spar?

He did not seem to have offended Tang San, did he?

Xiao Wu had just spoken rudely, and he had not even held it against them. Yet now this guy wanted to spar with him?

Perhaps realizing how abrupt he was being, Tang San added, "Lu Yu, I don't mean anything by it. Among our dorm mates, you were the first to break through to two rings. I want to see the gap between myself and a two-ring Soul Master!"

Though Tang San phrased it politely, how could Lu Yu, who had lived three lives, fail to understand the meaning behind his words?

This guy was clearly unhappy that Lu Yu cultivated so quickly. He wanted to rely on the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques to defeat him with the strength of a One-Ring Soul Master!

Lu Yu also knew that, in others' eyes, he was merely an empty shell who only knew how to cultivate foolishly, with no actual combat experience whatsoever.

Tang San probably wanted to use him, a "two-ring Soul Master with no combat experience," to test his own strength.

If it had been an ordinary two-ring Soul Master, he might really have been no match for Tang San.

And if he lost, with the mindset of an ordinary child, he would likely become disheartened and begin doubting himself.

Tang San truly acted without the slightest regard for other people's feelings!

With that thought, Lu Yu said flatly, "Not interested."

Lu Yu would not do anything that offered him no benefit!

If he lost, then nothing much would happen.

But if he won, and Tang San began doubting himself, who knew whether Tang Hao, who had been lurking in the shadows all this time, would take a shot at him?

Lu Yu remembered that after Tang San went to Shrek Academy and suffered at Zhao Wuji's hands, Tang Hao had beaten that guy and Flender senseless in the middle of the night...

Tang San frowned at his answer, but said nothing more.

Xiao Wu, however, snorted coldly. "Hmph! So what if you broke through to two rings first? What are you being so smug for?"

Lu Yu naturally heard her, but he ignored her. He merely made up his mind...

Sooner or later, I'll turn you into a Soul Ring!

And fuse your soul bone too!

I wonder whether the meat of a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit tastes good?

Would it be better spicy... or five-spice?

Another three years passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Yu's life remained a simple routine, and it took him less than a year to raise his Soul Power cultivation from the peak of level twenty-five to level thirty.

He spent the remaining two years focusing on cultivating the various techniques from his previous life.

The Golden Light Spell reached the peak of minor mastery, with one foot already in major mastery. However, without obtaining a third Soul Ring, it could progress no further.

Reverse Birth Triple entered the second level, but seemingly restricted by the laws of the Douluo World, he could not achieve Qi Transformation of his body.

However, he could make his body incorporeal. While in that state, he could greatly deflect the attacks his body endured. Combined with the Golden Light Spell, the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman, and the ability gained upon reaching the second level of Reverse Birth Triple to rapidly mend flesh and blood with Soul Power...

The current Lu Yu was practically an unkillable cockroach.

Even without using his martial soul or talismans, the enhancement of Thunder Arts, which had already reached the Minor Success stage, allowed him to battle a Three-Ring Soul Master.

If he used his martial soul, he could be called invincible among Soul Masters!

Add in talismans and an External Soul Bone, and with his firepower fully unleashed, he had few rivals even among Soul Ancestors!

In this life, Lu Yu cultivated Yang Five Thunders. His experience cultivating Yin Five Thunders in his previous life could only serve as a reference, so compared to Reverse Birth Triple and the Golden Light Spell, his progress in Thunder Arts was slower. He was still some distance away from completing the Minor Success stage.

His only regret was that he still had not fully comprehended the fifth supreme talisman he had been studying.

In his previous life, he had only comprehended three talismans. After enduring a life-and-death calamity and crossing over to Douluo Continent, he had relied on the insights gained at the brink of death to comprehend the fourth talisman.

But among the nine supreme talismans, this fifth talisman ranked in the top three in terms of difficulty to comprehend!

Yet once he fully comprehended it, Lu Yu would possess at least some ability to protect himself even against the powerful experts of Douluo Continent.

It was worth mentioning that over the past three years, Tang San and Xiao Wu had both reached level twenty Soul Power and obtained their respective Second Soul Rings.

Star Dou Great Forest, deep within the outer region.

Lu Yu had been here for three days already, yet he still had not found a suitable target.

He had encountered several soul beasts whose abilities suited the Heaven-Defying Seal, but their cultivation years were less than ideal.

For his third Soul Ring, Lu Yu needed one that was over seven thousand years old but no more than eight thousand years old!

Soul beasts with such cultivation in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest were already considered powerful, making them difficult to encounter.

In the middle region of the Star Dou Great Forest, however, ten-thousand-year soul beasts appeared frequently, multiplying the danger.

If he encountered a soul beast over fifty thousand years old, one with a supreme bloodline, or a group-dwelling soul beast, even Lu Yu could not be certain of escaping unharmed.

"There are too few high-year soul beasts in the outer region, but the middle region is fraught with danger..."

Lu Yu stopped and looked ahead, somewhat hesitant.

A moment later, he suddenly shook his head and laughed. Muttering to himself, he said, "The path of the strong is fraught with danger to begin with. If I don't dare face danger head-on, how can I ever reach the summit?"

Though he had been reborn, the lessons of his previous life had made Lu Yu cautious and meticulous in everything he did. Now, he had finally untangled the knot in his heart.

Just as Lu Yu was preparing to enter the middle region, he suddenly sensed a violent fluctuation of Soul Power.

Ever since entering the Star Dou Great Forest, he had applied a Pure Sensing Talisman to himself. Combined with the talisman's effect and his powerful spiritual power, his senses were exceptionally sharp.

Moreover, the Soul Power fluctuations were so intense that powerful experts were clearly fighting.

Was it soul beasts killing each other, or were soul masters battling soul beasts?

Lu Yu's heart stirred, and he quietly made his way toward the source of the Soul Power fluctuations.

Since crossing over to Douluo Continent, he had never seen a high-level soul master fight.

He wanted to see the difference between the experts of Douluo Continent and the powerful practitioners of the world of extraordinary people.

While still far away, Lu Yu placed an Evasion Talisman and a breath-concealing talisman on himself.

When he was a hundred meters away, he stopped, leaped onto a large tree, and looked into the distance.

Then Lu Yu froze.

Because he actually recognized one side of the battle!

Dugu Bo!

Although Lu Yu had not met Dugu Bo during his previous visit to the Star Dou Great Forest, when Dugu Bo had appeared behind him, Lu Yu had already "seen" his appearance through his spiritual power.

Dugu Bo's opponents were an old man and an old woman.

The old woman appeared to be in her sixties or seventies. Her full head of white hair was combed impeccably, her gaze sharp, and in her right hand she held a three-meter-long tongue-shaped cane.

Around the old woman, six Soul Rings gleamed brightly—two yellow, three purple, and one black!

Beside her stood a tall, thin old man. He was about the same age as the old woman, with a full head of silver hair. In his hand, he held a bright silver Dragon Head Cane over four meters long.

Around the old man floated eight Soul Rings—two yellow, three purple, and three black!
