Lu Yu no longer hesitated and decided to try her own approach first, just in case she succeeded by sheer Haozi!
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Yu suddenly encountered a problem as he thought about it. Three White Soul Ring appeared. Looking down at the Soul Ring, Lu Yu was in a dilemma.
I have the idea, but how do I get this Soul Ring to vibrate?
Directly input Soul Power?
Lu Yu first tried to input Soul Power Soul Power, but then suddenly stopped. When Lu Yu continued inputting Soul Power, the Soul Skill was activated.
"This isn't right. Where did things go wrong?" Lu Yu muttered to herself.
As night deepened, it became the latter half of the night.
Lu Yu stared intently at the Soul Ring with dark circles under his eyes. He noticed that Lu Yu's third Soul Ring was trembling slightly, but the tremor was so subtle that it was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
Lu Yu suppressed his excitement and continued to control the vibration of the Soul Ring, gradually increasing the intensity.
At dawn, Lu Yu, who hadn't slept all night, arrived next door with dark circles under her eyes and knocked on the door, carrying two breakfasts in her hands.
Huo Wu rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door. When she saw that the person in front of her was Lu Yu, she was stunned and instantly became more and more awake.
"You... you didn't sleep all night?"
Lu Yu forced a smile and nodded. "This is breakfast for you and your senior."
" Huo Wu, who is that?" Huo Zhengyang's voice came from the inner room.
"Grandpa, it's Lu Yu here!"
Hearing Huo Zhengyang's voice, Huo Wu ran into the house and pulled Huo Zhengyang out.
Huo Zhengyang was stunned when he saw Lu Yu's haggard appearance. "What happened to you?"
Lu Yu waved his hand, his eyes bloodshot but his spirits unusually high, with an uncontrollable gleam flashing in his eyes.
"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep all night, it's nothing serious."
Looking at Lu Yu's appearance, Huo Zhengyang frowned slightly, already guessing most of what was going on in his mind.
"You didn't sleep all night, were you researching Ring Fusion?"
Lu Yu didn't hide anything and nodded frankly.
"Yes, I've found a lead."
Huo Wu to the side, looked utterly bewildered, her mouth agape as she stared blankly at Lu Yu.
This person has truly gone mad!
Even though everyone was saying that the Ring Fusion was an innate talent that couldn't be learned through practice, he actually stayed up all night to work on it!
"You're being way too stubborn!" Huo Wu couldn't help but complain. "I've told you countless times, you can't learn the Ring Fusion technique! You can't stop even if you stay up all night!"
Lu Yu smiled faintly and said:
"If others can't learn it, that's their problem. How do you know I can't learn it if I haven't even tried?"
Huo Zhengyang gave Lu Yu a deep look and sighed softly.
"Young friend, heed my advice and turn back. For millennia, countless geniuses and Titled Douluo have failed to replicate the Ring Fusion. This path is a dead end!"
Lu Yu didn't say much. After putting down breakfast, he summoned his Soul Ring and displayed the results of his research over the past night.
"Senior, look, when Soul Ring Fusion, they vibrate together. Now my Soul Ring can do that too."
Lu Yu's third Soul Ring was trembling rhythmically, much more intensely than the one he had last night.
"Even if your Soul Ring can tremble, that doesn't prove anything. Does trembling like mine mean you can use the Ring Fusion technique?"
Huo Wu immediately stood up and loudly refuted Lu Yu.
"Why not? At least I've taken the first step. Let me see the Ring Fusion process again, and I'm sure I can..."
Before Lu Yu could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and his body went limp as he fell backward. Huo Zhengyang Lu Yu him and carried him to the bed to rest.
"Grandpa, what are you doing! Will he be alright?!" Huo Wu exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.
"It's nothing, he just fainted. Let him get some rest."
After tucking Lu Yu in, Huo Zhengyang turned and left the room.
"Let's have breakfast first! It'll get cold later." Huo Zhengyang patted Huo Wu on the shoulder and took the lead in sitting down at the table.
Huo Wu sat at the table, constantly poking at the breakfast in front of her with her chopsticks, showing no appetite whatsoever.
He would occasionally turn his head to look at the room where Lu Yu was sleeping.
He whispered to Huo Zhengyang, "Grandpa, should we leave?"
"Go? Where to?" Huo Zhengyang swallowed the food in his mouth and asked in return.
"Let's go back to the Blazing Academy!"
"You don't want to learn the Self-Created Soul Skill anymore?" Huo Zhengyang looked at Huo Wu with a half-smile.
"Grandpa, have you forgotten I have the Ring Fusion? With the Ring Fusion, even Self-Created Soul Skill are nothing compared to mine!"
Huo Wu waved her hand dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhengyang immediately burst into laughter.
"Oh, Grandpa! What are you laughing at? I just think it's unnecessary to learn it, not that I can't learn it!"
Huo Wu's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
Huo Zhengyang didn't say much; he thought so too. Self-Created Soul Skill wasn't really that rare.
With diligent cultivation, any Soul Skill that takes 50,000 to 60,000 years to develop will be more powerful than Self-Created Soul Skill.
"Let's head back tomorrow. Once that kid wakes up, you can show him the Ring Fusion process again."
Huo Zhengyang touched the back of Huo Wu's head and said.
Upon hearing Huo Wu tugged at Huo Zhengyang's arm and began to whine, "No, Grandpa, let's go today, okay!"
Huo Wu looked at Huo Zhengyang with a pleading expression.
Huo Zhengyang chuckled, "If you don't show it to him, I reckon that kid will be searching for you all over the continent. Believe it or not!"
"How can this be...?"
Before she could even utter the word "can," Huo Wu remembered that Lu Yu hadn't slept all night, spending the entire night researching the Ring Fusion.
If I run away now and don't let Lu Yu see the Ring Fusion process again, Lu Yu might really search the whole continent for me.
The thought of this possibility made Huo Wu rub her arms, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
"Um, Grandpa, I think we should leave tomorrow! I can also ask Lu Yu about his Self-Created Soul Skill."
Huo Wu smiled sheepishly.
"Hahaha..."
The last rays of the setting sun shone through the window onto Lu Yu's eyelids. Lu Yu turned over and gently rubbed her eyes.
Where am I?
Ouch! My neck hurts so much!
Lu Yu sat up and looked around; every movement of her neck caused pain.
Suddenly, Lu Yu slapped his forehead.
"I remember now, wasn't I going to find Huo Wu to watch the Ring Fusion process? How did I fall asleep!"
Lu Yu threw off the covers and got out of bed. When she opened the door, she saw Huo Wu and Huo Zhengyang playing around.
Hearing the noise, the two looked over and saw that Lu Yu had gotten up. Huo Wu put her hands on her hips and spoke.
"You can really sleep! It'll be dark soon!"
Lu Yu scratched her head sheepishly, "Sorry, I don't know how I suddenly fell asleep. Thank you for your help!"
Hearing that Lu Yu had been knocked unconscious by her grandfather and was now apologizing to her, Huo Wu covered her mouth and chuckled.
hey-hey...
Huo Zhengyang shook his head helplessly. He meant well and couldn't bear to see Lu Yu looking so haggard, worried that Lu Yu would get stuck in a rut.
Huo Zhengyang pointed to the chair next to him, indicating that Lu Yu should sit down.
After Lu Yu sat down, Huo Zhengyang slowly spoke, "Young friend, we will be returning to the academy tomorrow. Thank you for your hospitality these past two days."
Lu Yu was startled upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Where did I fail to make proper arrangements? Could you please tell me, senior?"
Huo Zhengyang shook his head. "It has nothing to do with you. The academy suddenly had something to tell me to go back."
After saying that, Lu Yu nodded easily, then looked conflicted.
I wanted to see the Ring Fusion process again, but I didn't expect Huo Wu to be leaving tomorrow.
Seeing Lu Yu's hesitant expression, Huo Zhengyang patted Lu Yu's shoulder and said, "There's still time, isn't there? If you want to watch, do it now!"
Lu Yu looked at Huo Zhengyang with gratitude on her face.
"Thank you so much, senior!"
