The Great Sage squirmed and struggled in Huo Wu's arms, his little paws instinctively reaching towards Lu Yu.
It was in tune with Lu Yu's thoughts and could clearly sense the inner turmoil in Lu Yu's heart.
Huo Wu could only gently press down on Great Sage, her face full of coquettish reproach. "Why are you so naughty, you little monkey!"
Huo Zhengyang watched quietly from behind the two, naturally noticing Lu Yu's complicated expression, but paid no attention and continued walking in silence.
After a short while, Huo Zhengyang stopped and said, " Huo Wu, that's enough for now. Quickly return the little monkey to this young friend; we should also go find the Soul Beast."
Huo Wu hugged Great Sage and shrank back a little, looking at Huo Zhengyang with a pleading expression, "Grandpa, can you buy this little monkey? I really like him!"
Huo Zhengyang smiled and nodded. A monkey wasn't worth many Gold Soul Coin. He turned to look at Lu Yu, but before he could ask about the price, he was already looking at Lu Huo Zhengyang.
Huo Wu stepped forward and looked at Lu Yu, "Kid, how much for this monkey? I'll buy it!"
Lu Yu's lips twitched awkwardly as he looked at the two of them. "To be honest, senior, this monkey is my Martial Soul, so I'm afraid I can't trade with you!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhengyang's eyes widened in surprise. He re-examined the little monkey in Huo Wu's arms, thinking to himself, " External Beast Martial Soul? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before..."
Huo Wu was immediately displeased, feeling that Lu Yu was deceiving her, and pointed at Lu Yu fiercely.
"You dare to lie to me, kid? Whose Martial Soul is a monkey? Tell me how much you'd sell it to me for!"
Seeing that the little girl didn't believe him, Lu Yu had a thought, and the Great Sage in Huo Wu's arms disappeared instantly, reappearing on Lu Yu's shoulder.
"Look, I can even put it away. Isn't that a characteristic of Martial Soul?"
"You..."
Huo Wu stomped her feet angrily, intending to continue fighting with Lu Yu for custody of Great Sage, but Huo Zhengyang stopped her.
" Huo Wu, this monkey is indeed your Martial Soul, young friend."
Huo Zhengyang then turned to look at Lu Yu, "If I'm not mistaken, young friend, your Martial Soul is External Beast Martial Soul, isn't it?"
Huo Zhengyang thought for a while and finally remembered where he had seen this kind of Martial Soul before. He became more and more curious about the Great Sage on Lu Yu's shoulder. He never expected that there would be a second Martial Soul of this type in this world.
Lu Yu cupped his hands in greeting, "Senior is right, it is indeed External Beast Martial Soul."
A sly glint appeared in Huo Zhengyang's eyes, and he looked at Lu Yu and slowly spoke, lost in thought.
Have you ever heard of the Grandmaster's name?
Yu Xiaogang is still too authoritative. Whenever the topic of the External Beast Martial Soul Huo Zhengyang comes up, Yu Xiaogang is the first person that comes to mind.
Lu Yu took a deep breath and said:
"Of course I've heard of it. The Grandmaster's Martial Soul, like mine, is External Beast Martial Soul; it's just that I've only heard of his name and don't know who he is."
Not to mention Lu Yu, even Huo Zhengyang didn't know where Yu Xiaogang was, and he sighed slightly.
"What a pity! If you could meet Grandmaster, perhaps he could offer some guidance."
Hearing this, Lu Yu was speechless. He dared to offer advice? His theories were just utter nonsense, plagiarized from all over the place?
A thought suddenly struck Lu Yu, and she immediately realized that asking about the breakthrough point of the Ring Fusion revealed a hint of disdain as she looked at Huo Zhengyang.
"Does the senior truly believe he is Grandmaster of Martial Soul Theory?"
Huo Zhengyang narrowed his eyes. With his cultivation level, Yu Xiaogang's theories were obviously nonsense, but he still wanted to hear what this child had to say.
He immediately asked, "Oh, what do you mean?"
Lu Yu cleared his throat, preparing to use the same words he had used to deceive Tang San to refute Yu Xiaogang's title of Grandmaster.
"With your cultivation level, senior, can you tell how old I am?"
After speaking, Lu Yu spread out her hands so that Huo Zhengyang could examine them carefully.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhengyang was stunned. After regaining his senses, he shook his head with a wry smile. He had naturally read " The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul " and looked at Lu Yu with a hint of admiration.
Lu Yu continued, "I've heard that the Grandmaster is stuck at level 29 his entire life. How do you think he judges the age of Soul Beast with his cultivation level?"
This one point alone shows that his title Grandmaster of Martial Soul Theory is merely nominal; the following nine theories, in my opinion, are also riddled with flaws.
Lu Yu shook her head slightly, her eyes full of disdain.
Seeing Lu Yu's expression, Huo Zhengyang immediately became interested and asked a question.
"Young friend, you also possess External Beast Martial Soul. May I inquire about your Innate Soul Power and current cultivation level?"
"To be honest, senior, I possess innate level one Soul Power..."
Lu Yu paused for a moment before speaking.
"Currently at level 34 Soul Power."
Upon hearing Lu Yu say she was level 34, Huo Zhengyang was still wondering if he had misheard Huo Wu, with her explosive temper, immediately exploded.
"You little liar, you don't look that old, how could you be level 34 with only innate level one Soul Power?"
" Huo Wu." Huo Zhengyang glared at Huo Wu, but disbelief was also in his eyes, and the praise he had shown for Lu Yu just now had vanished.
Lu Yu sighed helplessly, wondering if he could blame himself for leveling up so quickly. Facts speak louder than words. With a thought, three White Soul Ring appeared on Lu Yu's body, leaving the grandfather and grandson stunned.
"Um, Grandpa's getting old and his eyesight isn't what it used to be. Huo Wu, could you help Grandpa check if these Soul Ring are three white ones?"
Huo Zhengyang rubbed his eyes and said.
"Grandpa, I also saw three White Soul Ring." Huo Wu's voice grew softer and softer, and she even began to doubt whether her eyesight was also bad.
Lu Yu coughed twice to bring the two back to their senses, "Senior is not mistaken, they are indeed three White Soul Ring."
Huo Zhengyang snapped out of his daze and rubbed his temples. "You..."
Huo Zhengyang was momentarily at a loss for words. He possessed innate level one Soul Power, and judging from his youthful face, he was probably only around ten years old. He was a level 34 Soul Elder with three White Soul Ring.
These four things combined completely overturned all the Martial Soul Theory he had learned in his life.
But the person in front of me completely shattered this theory.
Huo Wu stood to the side, her small mouth wide open enough to fit an egg.
"Impossible... Absolutely impossible! How could innate level one Soul Power increase so quickly!"
Huo Wu innate level 8 Soul Power, was hailed as a genius since childhood, but she is only a level 20 quasi- Soul Grandmaster now. Lu Yu, with her innate level 1 soul power, is far superior to her.
The huge difference left Xiao Huo Wu completely stunned, and it's likely she won't have much emotion when facing the Huo Mian Blue Silver Grass in the future.
Oh! No, that's not right! With Lu Yu there, the Blue Silver Grass that's Huo Mian won't have a chance to appear.
Huo Zhengyang took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and looked at the boy in front of him again. He had originally thought Lu Yu was just a bold and somewhat clever child, but now he realized that the person in front of him could not be judged by common sense.
"No wonder you dared to question the Grandmaster's theoretical knowledge; it turns out you yourself are the biggest counterexample."
Lu Yu smiled faintly.
It was just a fluke!
Huo Zhengyang nodded slightly, his eyes showing increasing appreciation as he looked at the three White Soul Ring on Lu Yu's body, his interest growing stronger.
"Having lived most of my life, I've finally seen something new today. I see that you have a deep understanding of Martial Soul Theory, young friend. Why don't we go together and I'll discuss it with you?"
Lu Yu bowed respectfully, "I dare not presume before you, senior. This is merely a superficial understanding, and I hope you will offer me your guidance."
