With a flash of light, Lin Yuan arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena once more.
His brows were tightly furrowed. To be honest, he was quite dissatisfied with his performance in the battle just now—especially with Shinra Tensei. He had used it far too crudely.
Take Shinra Tensei, for example. If the total power of Shinra Tensei itself remained unchanged, but the attack range shrank?
For instance, when he blasted Ling Yiyi, if Shinra Tensei had compressed all its power into a single point and then struck Ling Yiyi's head, wouldn't it only have taken a few blows to send her head flying?
Universal Pull also needed continued practice. Although he could already use it with precision, it still was not deep enough.
What if he could aim it at a person and directly suck their internal organs out by force?
If he could do that, his combat power would probably rise to another level, right?
I'll still have to train properly after I go back.
Lin Yuan sighed and thought honestly.
He went to the Soul Fighting Arena staff and retrieved the Douluo Coins he had wagered earlier. Looking at the staff member, he thought for a moment and asked, "What's my ranking now?"
"I'll check."
The staff member checked Lin Yuan's ranking in the under-twenty division and entered the three characters [Zoffy].
[7. Name: Zoffy, Battles: 10, Wins: 10, Average Battle Duration: 34 seconds, Fans: 1,000,000+]
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. As expected of me. With just a slight move, I had already approached the limit of this bracket.
"Do you want to continue challenging?"
"Forget it."
Lin Yuan refused.
What if he really got matched with some Title Douluo next time, got hung up and beaten, and word spread that:
The invincible lord had fallen.
That was way too absurd. It would simply damage his glorious reputation!
Not a single matchmaking system had any conscience!
Hearing that Lin Yuan was not going to keep challenging, the staff member immediately looked disappointed.
"You're not fighting anymore...?"
"You're sorry about that?"
"Of course. To be honest, I watched your match. It was simply spectacular. I even bet half my entire net worth on you. I didn't expect you to actually create a miracle." At this point, the staff member chuckled a few times. "Come to think of it, I'm your fan too."
Lin Yuan: ...
Lin Yuan left the Soul Fighting Arena.
After logging out of Douluo World and returning to reality, Lin Yuan began looking for a reference object and started practicing Shinra Tensei and Universal Pull carefully.
At first, Lin Yuan started in the cultivation room with a large reference object.
For example, a table and a balloon. He needed to push only the balloon away without affecting the table.
He cultivated for a very long time, until he could successfully send the balloon flying without affecting the table. Only then did Lin Yuan nod in satisfaction.
Not bad. If I run into Ling Yiyi again, I should be able to interfere with her while she gathers life energy.
After ending his cultivation, Lin Yuan picked up and dropped off Lan Xuanyu from school as usual.
Lan Xuanyu's talent was indeed quite good. Although he still had not burst the ball, he had truly managed to condense water into ice.
Nan Cheng was once again shocked by Lin Yuan's talent.
For a water-element controller to condense water into ice, aside from changes in one's bloodline or martial soul, the only option was precise control over the water element.
Even Nan Cheng could not do that, yet Lin Yuan had done it.
Once, in private, Lan Xiao even gave Lin Yuan a sum of money as thanks, but Lin Yuan refused it.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
The girl named autumn was truly hard to fathom—warm one moment and cold the next. Her colorful moods made people unconsciously swap their short sleeves for coats and hurry toward the coming banquet of frost.
Tianluo Planet, Spaceflight Center. Today was the day Lan Xuanyu returned from his trip to Douluo Planet.
They had agreed that when Lin Yuan returned, Lan Xuanyu would pick up his ship, and when Lan Xuanyu returned, Lin Yuan would pick up his ship.
When Lin Yuan arrived at the Spaceflight Center, countless people stopped in their tracks and looked at him unconsciously.
Over the past half year, Lin Yuan had grown a little taller. He had become even more handsome, and as the autumn wind brushed through his loose hair, he stretched lazily in comfort.
"Bro, I'm back!"
Suddenly, an excited voice rose from the crowd.
A little cannonball charged straight toward Lin Yuan.
Over the past six months, Lin Yuan had lost count of how many times he had been through scenes like this. He had just been about to reach out and flick Lan Xuanyu on the forehead.
"Bro, I'm not the same me I was ten-some days ago!"
Suddenly, Lan Xuanyu slammed on the brakes halfway there. As he used a strange, elusive footwork to rush toward him, he opened his right hand, and the water elements in the air immediately gathered toward him.
As the water elements converged, the moisture content in the air shot up. Lin Yuan frowned slightly. The feeling of his clothes turning a little damp was honestly uncomfortable, but what surprised him even more was Lan Xuanyu's footwork.
Mm, this footwork isn't simple.
Just as Lan Xuanyu was about to strike—
Suddenly, Lin Yuan snapped his fingers.
Almost instantly, the water elements gathering toward Lan Xuanyu let out a creaking sound that seemed tinged with unwillingness, and in the blink of an eye, they were pushed away.
The Water Vortex that had already taken shape in Lan Xuanyu's palm shattered at once.
"Heh, you really are different from ten-some days ago. At least you can dance now. What, don't want to be a soul master anymore and want to debut instead?" Lin Yuan looked at Lan Xuanyu with a cheerful smile.
Lan Xuanyu stared blankly at his empty palm and muttered, "Bro, you got stronger again."
"When did you learn Rasengan?"
Lin Yuan looked at Lan Xuanyu with interest.
Before Lan Xuanyu had left Tianluo Planet, he had not mastered Rasengan. How had he learned it after just one trip to Tianluo Planet?
"There was a beautiful silver-haired teacher helping me practice. Bro, I heard Auntie say she doesn't know how old she is either. She said she woke up from a block of ice."
At this point, Lan Xuanyu paused, then said excitedly, "Teacher kept saying good things about you, Bro. Things like your perfect use of elements, how you're practically a genius, and that when she comes back she must visit you and thank you..."
Lan Xuanyu proudly puffed out his chest, as if the one being praised was not Lin Yuan but himself.
"Mom said that teacher is a Title Douluo."
"A silver-haired teacher?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
How did I forget? In the original work, this was exactly the time the little Dragon God met his mom, Gu Yuena, right?
The Silver Dragon King who inherited the Dragon God's astonishing wisdom and came with a kid from a previous marriage!
"Is that so? Your trip to Heaven Dou really was interesting."
Lin Yuan answered halfheartedly. His thoughts had long since been pulled back to Lan Xuanyu's remark that Gu Yuena was going to bring Lan Xuanyu over to visit.
The two chatted a while longer, then Lin Yuan returned to the family compound together with Lan Xiao and the others.
After saying goodbye to Lan Xuanyu and turning down Lan Xiao's lunch invitation, Lin Yuan went home and continued his fine-control practice of Shinra Tensei.
For his practice location, Lin Yuan did not choose the training room this time, but the living room. He wanted to practice in a noisy environment.
Lin Yuan aimed at a balloon, locked onto the dust on it with his spiritual power, and his gaze gradually grew serious.
"Shinra Tensei!"
An indescribable repulsive force erupted all at once. Yet what was shocking was that under this powerful repulsion, the balloon did not move an inch.
But the dust on the balloon, driven at an extremely high speed, even smashed a tiny hole through the window before flying outside.
Now, even tiny specks of dust in Lin Yuan's hands already possessed considerable killing power!
But Lin Yuan shook his head, his expression somewhat grave.
"I'm still forcing it a little. When will I be able to do it without relying on spiritual power to lock on, and instead blow things away directly at will? That's the result I want most."
For example.
Taking Third Brother's Blue Silver Overlord Spear as an example, if Third Brother used Blue Silver Overlord Spear on him, then during his charge, Lin Yuan could completely use Shinra Tensei to dismantle the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
What Lin Yuan needed to do was achieve true instant activation.
Immediately afterward, Lin Yuan began pondering why exactly he could not activate it instantly.
Maybe I need to push myself to a limit. Because I'm not truly in danger, I always subconsciously use spiritual power instead of instinctive intuition?
Lin Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Lin Yuan took Federation History from the bookcase. This book generally recorded the Federation's developmental history, from the early days when empires stood side by side to the establishment of the Federation.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to flip through it—
But the next second, his gaze fell on the table. When he saw the small pile of dust that had fallen onto the table earlier because of his training, Lin Yuan's brows furrowed hard.
