Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

However, he always felt that something was off, as if he had overlooked something.

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Inside Lu Yan's dormitory room, he lay on the bed, rolling around, trying to suppress his laughter, but he was almost laughing so hard he was about to burst.

"He believed it, he believed it, he's making me laugh so hard."

Master, oh master, your initial feeling was absolutely right; I was indeed mocking you.

I just thought you were funny, like a clown, and I couldn't help but laugh.

Why don't you go back to Gotham? I'll tell Batman to stop hitting you.

"Pfft!" The joke flashed through Lu Yan's mind, and he laughed even harder.

Then he wondered when the master would be able to react.

However, even if he realized it, he couldn't confirm it and could only suspect it.

Without sufficient emotional stimulation, given his cowardly nature, he would most likely just choose to back down.

At most, I'll just keep this suspicion to myself.

After tonight's exchange, combined with past experiences and the original work, Lu Yan has gained a deeper understanding of the master Yu Xiaogang.

Moreover, he will graduate immediately after this Soul Hunt.

Without his continued provocations and antics in front of Yu Xiaogang, the conflict between them would naturally not have escalated further.

Unless, of course, something unexpected happens again.

However, Lu Yan felt that there probably wouldn't be any more.

The two will inevitably grow to dislike each other in the future.

Yu Xiaogang realized that he might have been tricked, and naturally he would feel disgusted with him.

Even if she has any other thoughts, she probably wouldn't want to have any more contact with him.

As for Lu Yan, he now has a genuine aversion to Yu Xiaogang.

Even when Yu Xiaogang harbored murderous intent towards him, wasn't he also harboring murderous intent?

Unfortunately, he cannot be killed.

Bibi Dong must have known that Yu Xiaogang was in Notting City, otherwise, in the original novel, Tang San's innate soul was filled with Blue Silver Grass.

This situation is undoubtedly like "revealing one's identity," yet nothing happens to them.

It's hard to say that it wasn't Bibi Dong's intervention that gave Yu Xiaogang the opportunity to "prove" his "invincible" theory.

Moreover, although Yu Xiaogang is an outcast of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he is also Yu Yuanzhen's son. If he dies, the impact will definitely be significant.

Without sufficient strength, one must feign compliance with the attitude towards someone like the "master," no matter how disgusting or how much one desires to eliminate him.

Lu Yan was very clear about this.

So Lu Yan began to pack up and prepare for his departure the next day, and then rested briefly.

Chapter 18 Soul Hunting, A Few Things to Note Before Departure

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Lu Daguan had already arrived at Lu Yan's dormitory. As for Lu Yan, he had actually woken up quite early.

He is about to acquire his first spirit ring, which will have a qualitative change and leap effect on his strength.

He had been waiting for this day for nearly two years.

My heart is filled with anticipation for the Soul Hunt and how much improvement I will receive after obtaining my first Soul Ring.

And the expectation that some of his conjectures about himself would be verified after the first spirit ring was attached.

At the same time, there are also concerns.

Worrying that one's predictions are wrong will not achieve the desired qualitative leap.

His own martial soul origin and martial soul quality have not been improved enough.

They worry that they won't be able to find the target soul beast they envision, or that the age of the soul beast will limit the soul skills they obtain.

Or perhaps some of my own conjectures turned out to be wrong after verification.

There is a fear that the hunter might encounter an insurmountable danger during the Soul Hunting expedition, and die before achieving his goal.

Amidst a mix of thoughts and emotions, Lu Yan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Even though he knew he should rest and recharge.

Lu Yan didn't sleep well at all last night, and Lu Da Guan was no better off than Lu Yan, in fact, his situation was even worse, as he didn't sleep at all last night.

So, early in the morning, the father and son, both sporting panda eyes, stared at each other in Lu Yan's dormitory.

Lu Daguan: Xiao Liu, you look like you didn't sleep well.

Lu Yan: Dad, you look like you haven't slept all night?

The father and son then smiled at each other and comforted one another.

Just like the tense and anxious feeling on the eve of the college entrance examination in his previous life, the father and son finally relaxed a bit as they comforted each other and chatted.

After waiting until the time was more suitable, the father and son went to visit Old Man Su.

Meanwhile, Old Man Su was also well prepared, and even Teacher Li and Teacher Zhou had already gathered in Old Man Su's teacher's dormitory.

"Old Lu, you and your son didn't sleep well last night, did you?" Teacher Zhou asked, looking at Lu Daguan with Lu Yan.

Both father and son looked rather unwell, and couldn't help but tease their old classmate Lu Daguan and their student Lu Yan.

“That’s right, Lao Lu, Xiao Liu, I thought you would arrive earlier.” Teacher Li chimed in at this point.

Although they could understand Lu Daguan's mentality, and even though they themselves had gone through Lu Yan's psychological process back then.

But that didn't stop them from teasing Lu Daguan and Lu Yan.

"Haha, there's no other way. After all, acquiring the first spirit ring is no small matter; it's extremely important to us." Lu Daguan smiled awkwardly, speaking frankly.

Lu Daguan then greeted Old Man Su before explaining to Teacher Li, "I was just worried that it was too early and would disturb your rest."

"Enough with the nonsense. Have you prepared all the supplies needed for this Soul Hunt?" Old Man Su asked.

“Ready, I’ve been preparing for a while. Just take it with you when we pass by our ‘Lu’s Pottery Workshop’ later.” Lu Da Guan nodded in response without hesitation.

"Alright, let's set off then. We'll talk about it on the way." Old Man Su gave the order directly.

So, the group left the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy and boarded the carriage that Lu Daguan had prepared in advance.

It was shortly after Lu Yan and his group left.

At the entrance of the academy, Yu Xiaogang stared at the direction the carriage had gone for a moment before heading towards the dormitory manager's residence.

This dormitory manager is a veteran of the college; he was already a staff member when Lu Daguan was a student there.

At the same time, he also had backup keys to all the dormitories in the college.

……

"Brother, brother, I miss you."

When Lu Yan and his entourage's carriage arrived at the entrance of Lu's Pottery Workshop.

As soon as Lu Yan got out of the car, he saw his younger sister Lu Ling, who was almost four years old, running towards him.

Looking from the direction she came from, several people were craning their necks to look. Who else could they be but her mother, her eldest brother, her third brother, her eldest sister, and her second sister?

"You've only been gone for two months, and you already miss your brother?" Lu Yan quickly squatted down and caught Lu Ling who was running towards him, then pinched her little face.

"Don't pinch my face anymore!" the little girl immediately protested. "I'm almost three years old now, you can't pinch my face anymore."

"Pinch me, pinch me!" Lu Yan even used both hands to pull the little girl's soft cheeks, which made the little girl angry. She kicked Lu Yan and ran back to complain to her mother, Zhang Cui.

Lu Yan greeted Lu Daguan and Old Man Su, who were checking to make sure no supplies were left behind, and then walked over to his mother Zhang Cui and the others.

He ignored Lu Ling, who was hurriedly grabbing her mother's hand to complain, and instead greeted his mother, his eldest and third brothers, and his eldest and second sisters first.

Then he looked at the little girl and saw that there seemed to be tears glistening in her big, round eyes.

Goodness, Lu Yan finally understood that this little girl wasn't a "crybaby," but a "little drama queen"!

"Knowing your brother would bully you, why did you cry and insist on coming along today?" Zhang Cui rolled her eyes at the little girl, too annoyed to bother with her.

Her two children, when things are going well, are incredibly close; the little girl can't wait to stick to her brother's side.

But when they get rowdy, they really are, especially this little girl, she's incredibly annoying.

“But I miss my brother!” the little girl retorted, tilting her head back.

"Pfft," Lu Wanqing, the second sister standing to the side, laughed. "Little crybaby, do you miss Lao Liu more, or do you want Lao Liu to perform a clay puppet fight for you?"

"I'm not a crybaby!" the little girl retorted instinctively, but after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I want Lao Liu more!"

"Haha, Sixth Brother, she hesitated, she hesitated." Lu Wanqing pointed at the little girl and joked with Lu Yan.

"I think you'd rather see a clay puppet show!" Lu Yan bluntly exposed the little girl's thoughts.

"No way!" the little girl retorted, tilting her head back.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you." Lu Yan made a face at the little girl, and then indeed ignored her.

"Mom, look at Lao Liu..." The little girl complained to her mother Zhang Cui about Lu Yan, but unexpectedly her mother grabbed her ear.

"What do you mean, 'sixth brother'? You're the youngest in the family, you should call him 'brother'." The little girl was being lectured.

Lu Yan and his second sister, Lu Wanqing, exchanged a knowing smile.

Then the siblings took a few steps away.

"Sixth Brother, you've grown up." The eldest brother, Lu Chengye, patted Lu Yan's arm, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Soul power is truly amazing."

In less than two years, Lu Yan had grown to be only a head shorter than him.

Now, he is about to become a Soul Master.

"Big brother, you're getting old." Lu Yan could sense the complex emotions in his older brother Lu Chengye's heart, but he still joked, "When are you going to find me a sister-in-law?"
