Douluo: Returning Alone, the Heaven-Defying Seal Smashes Tang San to Death

The once delicately carved face had fully grown into its features, losing much of its childishness and becoming increasingly handsome, like an immortal banished to the mortal world.

Lu Yu smiled at Meng Yiran. "Miss, wolf-type soul beasts usually move in packs. You should get out of here quickly! Once its companions arrive, it'll be too late!"

With that, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Having just obtained an External Soul Bone and a mysterious fruit, all he wanted now was to refine them as quickly as possible.

A bird in the hand was worth ten in the forest. Treasures were no different from junk if left unused; turning them into one's own strength as soon as possible was what truly mattered!

Only after Lu Yu's figure vanished into the distance did Meng Yiran come to her senses.

Just as she was about to chase after him, an unusual sound suddenly came from the woods on the other side.

Then, the Peerless Dragon Snake Couple emerged, both wearing unpleasant expressions.

"Grandpa! Grandma!" Meng Yiran called out.

Meng Shu looked at Meng Yiran, then at the wolf-type soul beast corpse lying on the ground. He gave a soft sound of surprise, his expression easing as he smiled and said:

"Yiran! Well done! To kill a two-thousand-six-hundred-year soul beast alone with only two rings—even with hidden weapons—was something very few people could accomplish!"

Meng Yiran blushed deeply and repeatedly waved her hands, recounting what had just happened.

Hearing this, the couple exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of astonishment in the other's eyes.

A youth who looked about the same age as their granddaughter had blown apart this soul beast's head with a single strike without even using a soul ring?

What family had raised such a genius?

Night fell, and atop the crown of a towering tree.

Lu Yu, who sat cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. A flash of blue-purple light flickered through them.

With a thought, Lu Yu felt a tearing pain erupt from his back. Then, with a ripping sound, a pair of broad wings unfurled behind him!

They were unmistakably dragon wings!

One wing was blue and the other purple, light shimmering across their surfaces. Their wingspan stretched nearly three meters. As they flapped, the blue left wing whipped up sharp gusts of wind that tore through the tree trunk.

The purple right wing crackled with lightning, radiating a terrifying presence.

With one beat of his wings, Lu Yu shot into the sky, trailing a blue-purple arc as he soared a hundred meters into the air in the blink of an eye!

"What speed!"

A trace of delight flashed through Lu Yu's eyes!

Then a smile appeared on his face, and his gaze sharpened. Soul Power surged wildly through his body, gathering upon the wings.

The blue-purple glow on the wings became increasingly fierce, while the sounds of wind and thunder rang out without end.

Then, the wings beat violently, unleashing a blue-purple tornado of wind and lightning!

Wherever the tornado passed, it plowed a deep trench into the earth and shredded towering trees into fragments, its momentum overwhelming!

Afterward, Lu Yu continuously darted and maneuvered through the air, familiarizing himself with the sensation of flying with wings. Only after a long while did he finally land on the ground.

He contentedly withdrew the Wind Thunder Wings. After that brief trial, Lu Yu had completely adapted to flying with wings.

In his previous life, he had been able to fly through the air for short periods by relying on his powerful qi and the enhancement of talismans. He was no stranger to flight, and he had trained in aerial combat as well, which was why he adapted so quickly.

"Next, it's time to focus on finding my third soul ring..."

Lu Yu murmured, "And... hunting a Man Faced Demon Spider!"

Obtaining a soul ring was only one of Lu Yu's reasons for coming to the Star Dou Great Forest. His second goal was to hunt a Man Faced Demon Spider!

The golden-red fruit and the External Soul Bone had been entirely unexpected gains.

Naturally, he wanted to hunt a Man Faced Demon Spider for the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone that Tang San had obtained in the original story!

Although the Eight Spider Lances were an External Soul Bone attached to the ribs and conflicted with Lu Yu's Wind Thunder Wings, External Soul Bones were rare treasures on Douluo Continent. No one would ever complain about having too many of them!

Even if he could not use it himself, he could give it to one of his own people in the future!

Even in the worst-case scenario, selling it would still let Lu Yu make a fortune while earning the favor of some faction!

Over the next week, Lu Yu encountered more than twenty Man Faced Demon Spiders with around two thousand years of cultivation, yet the Eight Spider Lances never appeared.

However, he found the ideal target for his third soul ring: a Tiger Stripe Turtle.

Though it was a turtle-type soul beast, it did not excel in defense. Instead, it possessed immense strength and an innate ability that could "repel" or "attract" either a single target or an area around itself.

This attractive-repulsive force was immensely powerful and the Tiger Stripe Turtle's means of survival. When used against a single target, its force multiplied severalfold!

The soul ring granted by the Tiger Stripe Turtle did not give him strength. Instead, it gave him an enhanced version of this "attraction-repulsion talent"!

Lu Yu named it—the Control Seal!

After obtaining his third soul ring, Lu Yu was even more pleasantly surprised to discover that his Heaven-Defying Seal martial soul had undergone subtle changes!

First was its appearance. It no longer bore any resemblance to a lump of stone, instead becoming a jade seal. The two words "Heaven-Defying" on its seal face had become completely clear, while its handle had transformed into a large jade pearl. Chaos swirled within it, and mysterious runes covered its surface.

Three runes representing the three soul rings shone brightly upon the seal itself.

Beyond the changes in appearance, the most important thing was...

The Heaven-Defying Seal had awakened an innate ability!

Lu Yu named it "Absolute Lock"!

The effect was simple: as long as Lu Yu threw the Heaven-Defying Seal toward a target, no matter the opponent's cultivation level or how fast they were, it would strike without fail!

With three soul rings and the transformation of his martial soul, Lu Yu found himself feeling rather strange.

His first soul skill, Diamond Seal, made the Heaven-Defying Seal indestructible. As long as Lu Yu could keep it from being knocked away, it was practically a god-tier defensive soul skill!

His second soul skill, Thousand Jun Seal, possessed both gravity control and armor-piercing force, making it a god-tier offensive soul skill!

And his third soul skill, Control Seal, could make even a Three-Ring Soul Master unable to resist its attractive-repulsive force at close range, even when unleashed as an indiscriminate area attack.

If used against a single target, even a Soul Ancestor would struggle to resist it!

This absolutely counted as a god-tier control-type soul skill!

And Lu Yu also had the enhancement of Thunder Arts. His own speed was like lightning, far faster than even Agility Attack System Soul Masters of the same level...

Good lord!

How was he supposed to introduce himself in the future?

Hello, my name is Lu Yu, an all-system Soul Master?

He wandered around the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest for another two days, successively killing four more Man Faced Demon Spiders, yet still failed to obtain the Eight Spider Lances.

Lu Yu no longer obsessed over it. He did not want to waste too much time here. After all, Tang San had the protagonist's halo; relying on luck to steal his opportunity was no easy task.

Thus, Lu Yu began heading out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

But just as he reached the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, a shadow suddenly leaped down from a large tree, a sharp cold gleam thrusting straight toward him!

Lu Yu's gaze narrowed. The Heaven-Defying Seal appeared in his palm, and his third soul ring lit up. A terrifying repulsive force instantly blasted the attacker away, followed by a burst of attraction that pulled it back.

Then his second soul ring lit up. The Heaven-Defying Seal flew out and smashed directly into the attacker!

Bang!

A dull thud rang out. Lu Yu withdrew his martial soul and saw that a Man Faced Demon Spider had already been smashed into pulp!

And in the middle of that pile of pulp was a crystalline rib bone!

Lu Yu's eyes widened, and for a moment, he could barely process what he was seeing.

Just when it seemed all hope was lost, a new path appeared!

He had searched for eight days and killed nearly thirty Man Faced Demon Spiders, yet had failed to obtain the Eight Spider Lances.

But just when he chose to give up and leave, it had delivered itself right to his doorstep...

In high spirits, Lu Yu picked up the Eight Spider Lances soul bone and stored it in his Soul Guiding Ring.

His spiritual power swept through the inner space of the Soul Guiding Ring, where a pile of items still sat in one corner.

When Dugu Yan had given him this Soul Guiding Ring, she had said that everything inside came with it.

There were several dozen Gold Soul Coins in the Soul Guiding Ring, along with some ordinary weapons and several books containing knowledge about soul beasts.

These books were far more detailed than the soul beast knowledge taught at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

Besides that, there were miscellaneous items: clothes, jewelry, and some daily necessities.

Without exception, they were all things used by girls.

Most importantly...

There were even several pieces of underwear among that pile of clothes!

He had not thrown them away because Lu Yu rather mischievously intended to return every last item to Dugu Yan the next time they met...

He wanted to see just how spectacular that little pervert's expression would be then.

Setting aside those thoughts, Lu Yu left the Star Dou Great Forest with light steps.
