Lu Yu, with Lu Fei looking on with great curiosity, walked straight back to the small courtyard they rented in Suotuo City. As soon as they pushed open the door, two familiar figures came into view.
Lin Tian and Oscar heard the door open, turned around, and saw that Lu Yu had returned, so they spoke together.
Lu Yu.
" Brother Yu."
Lu Yu smiled and nodded, then pulled Lu Fei in front of her and introduced them to each other.
"This is my younger brother Lu Fei."
Then, bowing to Lu Fei, he introduced the two men, "These two are Lin Tian and Oscar; they are both my brother's friends."
"Hello, Brother Tian. Hello, Brother Oscar." Lu Fei greeted the two politely.
After exchanging a few casual words, Lu Yu waved his hand and led the three of them to the Green Fragrance Pavilion for a meal.
Nothing more was said that night.
Around noon, Lu Fei and Lin Tian woke up one after the other. Lu Yu got up early and was sitting in the courtyard looking through the Soul Beast Encyclopedia.
Lu Fei rubbed his eyes and moved closer to Lu Yu. Looking at the pages filled with dense descriptions of Soul Beast, Lu Fei asked expectantly.
"Brother, what kind of Soul Beast did you find for me?"
Lu Yu smiled. "You've come at the right time. I've thought of two development paths for you. See which one you prefer."
Lu Yu closed the book and explained in detail the two development directions she had in mind to Lu Fei.
Firstly, like Lin Tian, Lu Fei's Martial Soul Origin is strengthened. Since Lu Fei's Martial Soul is Fire Monkey, he only needs to continue to increase the temperature of the flames.
Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is a good example. Even though it mutated into a chicken, its flames were phoenix flames, which gave Ma Hongjun innate level nine Soul Power. If it were just ordinary flames, it would be at most level three or four.
There is also an advantage to continuously strengthening the Martial Soul Origin: one day in the future, one can purify Lu Fei's flames to the level of Ultimate Fire.
At that point, no matter how bad your Martial Soul is, one Ultimate Fire attack will force you to admit defeat.
Listening to Lu Yu's explanation, Lu Fei nodded knowingly, his brows furrowed as he looked at Lu Yu.
"Brother, what is Ultimate Fire?"
" The Ultimate Fire is about taking the path of fire to its pinnacle. In the future, even if you encounter other fire-attribute Soul Master, your flames will have a suppressive effect on them."
Lu Yu shared the limited knowledge he had in his memory with Lu Fei, and he figured he was right. The Blue Silver Emperor could suppress other Blue Silver Grass; the Ultimate Fire could suppress other flames, so that was no problem either.
Lu Fei nodded, understanding a little that his popularity would surpass that of others in the future. He then looked at Lu Yu expectantly.
"Brother, what's the second one?"
Lu Yu coughed twice, and Lu Fei instantly understood. He got up, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Lu Yu. He drank half of the glass in one gulp, and then Lu Yu continued.
The second development direction is on monkeys, which enhances their strength and size, with fire being merely a secondary attribute.
Lu Fei blinked his big eyes at Lu Yu, expecting her to continue, but seeing that Lu Yu didn't speak for a long time, Lu Fei asked with a puzzled look.
"Brother, is that all?"
Lu Yu shrugged. "That's right, the second option is to increase the strength and size of the Fire Monkey Martial Soul."
"Can't you take both paths at the same time?" Lu Fei asked curiously.
"That's possible, but if you take both paths at the same time, you won't be able to go far on either one, and you'll end up stuck in a stalemate. It all depends on your choice."
Do you want to specialize in one thing, or do you want to develop a balanced approach?
Hearing this, Lu Fei lowered his head to think, but after a while Lu Fei looked up and smiled again. "Brother, I choose the first option. If anyone dares to bully us in the future, I'll burn their house down."
"Huh?" Lu Fei looked completely bewildered and picked at his ear. "I told you to go down the path of Ultimate Fire, and all you want to do is burn down other people's houses?"
Lu Yu smiled gently, assuming that Lu Fei was still reeling from the shock of the house burning down, and patted Lu Fei's head.
Lu Yu also wanted Lu Fei the path of Ultimate Fire, to maximize the power of the flames. With Whale Rubber and Immortal Herb as a base, he might be able to compete for the position of God of Fire God.
If even a lecherous scoundrel like Ma Hongjun can try for the position of God of Fire God, Lu Yu refuses to believe that Lu Fei, whom she personally trained, can't.
Little did they know that Lu Fei's seemingly joking words would later lead to the burning of countless powerful families' houses to ashes by Lu Fei.
The next morning.
Lu Yu Lu Yu preparing the things he would need for this Soul Hunting in the courtyard. He put five wooden buckets, each about the height of a person, into his Storage Soul Tool and filled each bucket with water.
Lin Tian, watching from the side, spoke with some concern, " Lu Yu, do you really not need me to come along? Having another person will provide more support."
Lu Yu waved her hand, a confident smile on her face.
"No need. You know my strength too well. It's just my First Soul Ring; this is nothing."
Lin Tian fell silent upon hearing this. Although he currently Soul Power of level 37, if he were to fight Lu Yu, who was at level 26, Lu Yu could defeat him in no time if they went all out.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn't insist, but simply advised, "Then you must be very careful. After all, that's the Soul Beast Forest; it's always better to be cautious."
"Don't worry, I'm terrified of dying," Lu Yu replied casually.
Lu Fei clenched his fists, his eyes filled with eagerness. During this time, thanks to the constant nourishment of his body by Whale Rubber, his physique had already far surpassed that of other Soul Master of the same level.
Even when Lu Yu unleashed his level 26 Soul Power pressure, Lu Fei only had to kneel on the ground and was still able to withstand it.
However, Lu Yu was very clear-headed. The level 26 Soul Power power pressure was not Lu Fei's limit, but he had personally witnessed the near-death experience of Lin Tian when he forcibly absorbed the Third Soul Ring beyond his age limit. The backlash of that Soul Power almost tore Lin Tian's body apart.
Therefore, Lu Yu had already made up her mind that she would never risk letting Lu Fei absorb Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his First Soul Ring ring.
Furthermore, he hasn't fully matured yet, and having First Soul Ring that's a thousand years old is too conspicuous. Once he absorbs the Soul Ring, it's only a matter of time before he's exposed. Once he's discovered, even death will be a luxury.
Eight or nine hundred years of Soul Ring is enough. Unless you encounter a top-tier expert, not many people can tell the difference between a nine-hundred-year spirit ring and a four-hundred-year one.
After bidding farewell to Lin Tian, Lu Yu led Lu Fei straight towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lu Yu had already chosen the type of Soul Beast: a flame-shaped Soul Beast composed of pure energy, found in the Lava Canyon.
This kind of Soul Beast is a Life flame. Lu Yu was afraid that physical attacks would be ineffective, so he prepared five large buckets of water before setting off.
Since it is a pure energy entity, water must be the nemesis of this kind of Soul Beast.
After most of the day had passed, the brothers Lu Yu and Lu Fei finally arrived at the edge of the Lava Canyon. The further they went in, the higher the temperature became, and the sparser the vegetation became.
Looking at the scorching heat around him, Lu Fei unconsciously raised his hand to fan himself, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Brother, why is it so hot here?"
Lu Yu raised his hand and pointed deep into the canyon, slowly saying, "This is the Lava Canyon. Almost all the creatures inhabiting this area are fire-attribute Soul Beast."
