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

But he had only sensed the Innate Qi within his body and could use the special method of Reverse Birth Triple to seal and control it. He still could not achieve Inner Sight.

Whether Yin Five Thunders or Yang Five Thunders, Thunder Arts required the qi of the internal organs to be invoked. Without Inner Sight, he naturally had no way to perfectly control the qi of his internal organs.

"Looks like the most urgent matter is obtaining my first soul ring..."

With that thought, Lu Yu rose directly, descended the mountain, and returned to the village.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Just like on the day of the martial soul awakening, Old Jack brought Lu Yu to the entrance of the Blacksmith Shop. However, they did not go inside and merely called for Tang San from outside.

Before long, Tang San came out with a small bundle on his back.

After greeting Old Jack and Lu Yu, he gave the Blacksmith Shop a reluctant glance before following the two of them toward the village entrance.

Along the way, Tang San asked Old Jack about the soul master academy, while Lu Yu kept his head lowered the entire time.

Lu Yu was considering what soul beast he should choose for his first soul ring, and what age it should be.

He had originally wanted to go big and get a thousand-year soul ring for his very first one!

Because when fusing soul rings below ten thousand years, the maximum age a soul master could absorb depended entirely on the strength of their physique.

Only upon reaching the level of ten-thousand-year soul rings would the resentment left behind by a dead soul beast merge into the soul ring and inflict a spiritual assault upon its absorber.

But unfortunately, he had yet to enter the threshold of Thunder Arts. Though Reverse Birth Triple allowed him to continue cultivating beyond the bottleneck, it merely accumulated qi within his body and could not further strengthen his physique.

With Lu Yu's current physical strength, he still could not absorb a thousand-year soul ring.

The beginning was always the hardest. As long as he took that first step and obtained his first soul ring, Lu Yu would be able to break through the bottleneck. Reverse Birth Triple would truly enter the hall, and he would also be able to cultivate Thunder Arts.

Thinking this, Lu Yu stopped obsessing over a thousand-year soul ring.

Besides, having a thousand-year soul ring as one's first soul ring was simply too shocking on the Douluo Continent.

Lu Yu might possess the foundation of his past-life inheritance, but the problem was...

He had absolutely no background on the Douluo Continent!

If the major powers set their sights on him, would he not become meat on the chopping block?

A secret capable of allowing someone to possess a thousand-year soul ring as their first soul ring was enough to drive the leaders of countless major forces mad!

A common man was innocent, but possessing a treasure invited disaster!

Lu Yu understood that principle better than anyone!

Because in his previous life, he had suffered a crushing loss precisely because of it!

Tang San kept asking Old Jack all sorts of questions, and Old Jack patiently answered every one of them.

Seeing the absent-minded Lu Yu beside him, Tang San could not help sighing inwardly. Sure enough, he had the temperament of a child—restless and mischievous.

Having lived two lives, and with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, he would surely make a name for himself on this continent!

He might even carry forward the Tang Sect in this foreign world!

Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy was located west of Nuoding City. After the three entered the city, Village Chief Old Jack asked some passersby for directions and soon confirmed the way.

On the road to Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, Tang San suddenly asked Lu Yu:

"Lu Yu, we both have Innate Full Soul Power. Once we join the junior soul master academy, we'll probably go obtain soul rings right away."

"How about we form a team and go together?"

Tang San wore a faint smile, but his gaze carried the look of a strong person regarding the weak.

At the same time, Tang San thought to himself, "After all, Lu Yu and I came out of Holy Soul Village together. With my hidden weapons at hand, obtaining soul rings should not be difficult."

"I'll lend him a hand while I'm at it. Consider it looking after a fellow villager!"

Having lived two lives, Tang San regarded Lu Yu as nothing more than a little brat.

Lu Yu had lived three lives. In his previous life, he had dealt with people from all walks of life, so with a single glance, he saw the almost pitying look in Tang San's eyes.

Lu Yu felt speechless inside, but outwardly, he simply shook his head and smiled. "No need. I think the teachers at the soul master academy should help the students hunt for soul rings."

Tang San froze for a moment, apparently having never considered that before. He did not say anything else, but his expression turned somewhat ugly.

It was not because Lu Yu had refused him, but because in his view...

Even a little brat like Lu Yu had thought of something that he, a transmigrator who had lived two lives, had failed to consider!

He would not allow himself to make such a low-level mistake!

They soon arrived at the entrance of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, only to be stopped by a young gatekeeper.

After Old Jack respectfully exchanged a few polite words with him, he took out the certificates Su Yuntao had given them.

The young man looked at the two certificates, then at the three of them, who were clearly dressed like country folk, and immediately sneered disdainfully.

"Blue Silver Grass martial soul? Stone martial soul? And both of you have Innate Full Soul Power?"

"What a joke!"

"As far as I can tell, you forged these certificates from Spirit Hall, didn't you?"

Looking at the arrogant young man, whose eyes were filled with contempt, Lu Yu felt something strange in his heart.

Although this sort of snobbery was rather cliché, the young man's doubts were not entirely unreasonable.

After all, on Douluo Continent, no one had ever heard of a useless martial soul possessing Innate Full Soul Power!

Old Jack did not dare argue with the young man. Seeing how adamant the other party was, he planned to go to Spirit Hall in Nuoding City and find someone to vouch for them.

But just as he turned around, the young man suddenly sneered. "Dressed like a bunch of paupers, and you call yourselves Holy Soul Village? You might as well call it Beggar Village!"

The moment those words came out, Old Jack was furious. He turned and glared at the young man. "What did you say?"

The name Holy Soul Village was the pride of everyone in the village.

Because it represented the fact that their village had once produced a Soul Saint!

"What? Not convinced?"

The young man lost his temper too and stepped forward to shove Old Jack.

But at that moment, Tang San suddenly darted out, arriving directly in front of the young man. With a push of his hand and a trip of his foot, he sent the young man sprawling to the ground.

Lu Yu could clearly see Tang San's left hand lift slightly, sunlight reflecting a sharp, cold glint from within his sleeve.

Tang Sect's hidden weapons—the Silent Sleeve Arrow!

Watching Tang San's movements, Lu Yu could not help shaking his head.

Tang San had already developed killing intent. If that young man charged over in humiliation and rage, the Silent Sleeve Arrow would instantly shoot toward his throat.

Good heavens!

This was right outside the gates of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy!

Not to mention how many soul masters there were in the academy, quite a few passersby outside had already noticed the commotion.

If Tang San killed that young man, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar!

Granted, Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power and could be considered a genius.

Soul masters, long accustomed to looking down on others, would not destroy such a genius over the death of some insignificant person.

But the problem was...

A child only six years old, who had just awakened his martial soul, daring to kill someone in the street over a mere verbal dispute—he would surely be seen as naturally bloodthirsty and cold-blooded.

What faction would be willing to nurture someone like that?

Lu Yu curled his lips. Tang San probably had not realized that he had nearly ruined his own future because of a momentary impulse.

And he called himself someone who had lived two lives?

"Enough. Stop it!"

At that moment, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

The young man, who had been about to rush forward, immediately stopped. Tang San also lowered his slowly raised hand.

Everyone turned to look and saw a middle-aged man walking over.

Lu Yu sized the man up and down, his expression somewhat strange.

So this was Yu Xiaogang, the one known as the "Master"?

With that face, even if he had been a dozen years younger, he probably would not have been very handsome, would he?

Yet with looks like that, he had still managed to make Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong lose their heads over him. No wonder, in Lu Yu's previous previous life, he had been called a "PUA Master"!

While Lu Yu's thoughts wandered, Yu Xiaogang had already taken the Spirit Hall certificate from Old Jack, scolded the young gatekeeper a few times, and then said to Jack:

"Sir, leave these two children to me! On behalf of the academy, I apologize for what happened just now!"

Old Jack repeatedly waved his hands and said there was no need. After giving Lu Yu and Tang San a few reminders, he turned and left.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, then at Lu Yu, and frowned slightly.

He could not shake the feeling that there was something strange about the way Lu Yu looked at him.
