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

But what Lu Yan wanted was not just these things.

"Uncle Wang, how about we have a match?" Lu Yan invited Wang Dachui.

"Haha, Little Lu, I'm a level 29 Power Attack type Great Soul Master, don't get cocky."

Wang Dachui laughed heartily, but he didn't refuse, treating it as a sparring match for the younger generation.

Thus began the battle between Lu Yan and Wang Dachui.

Then, to everyone's utter shock, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Wang Dachui was instantly killed by Lu Yan.

The process is simple: the moment the two people close the distance and get closer.

A large amount of yellowish-brown clay surged out from in front of Lu Yan like a torrent, instantly enveloping Wang Dachui, leaving only his head sticking out.

At the same time, Lu Yan activated his first soul skill, petrifying the clay encasing Wang Dachui in an extremely short time.

During the process, Wang Dachui briefly attempted to break free from the not-yet-fully-petrified clay, but ultimately failed.

So he was completely sealed inside a large rock made of clay petrified.

But the next moment, Lu Yan began his performance.

He swayed and fell to the ground, and then the glowing spirit ring went dark.

At the same time, the petrified clay returned to its original state, and Wang Dachui broke free from the petrification blockade.

But Wang Dachui knew that if Lu Yan was an enemy, he was already dead.

You can use clay to petrify him and completely control him, or you can choose to use countless stone spikes to strangle him like a sieve.

Wang Dachui stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

He was instantly killed by a child who was only a fraction of his age and had the strength of a level thirteen Soul Master?

too suddenly!

However, Wang Dachui wasn't the only one who felt suddenly stunned; everyone stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

In the end, it was Old Man Su who was the first to react. He rushed forward to check on Lu Yan, who had fallen to the ground.

"Xiao Liu, how are you? Are you alright?" Old Man Su looked at Lu Yan, who was hanging his head helplessly, and was very worried.

"Grandpa Su, I'm fine. I just used up almost all of my soul power and need to rest."

Lu Yan didn't look up, but kept his head down and answered in a somewhat weak voice.

Old Su breathed a sigh of relief. "Then you should rest for a while, rest for a while."

Lu Yan rested for a good ten minutes before standing up, but his face still looked rather pale.

He slowly walked to the fusion of Martial Soul Clay and Resonance Clay not far away and began to recycle.

Of course, the resonance clay is recycled first, followed by the martial spirit clay.

At this moment, everyone gathered around, asking all sorts of questions about what had just happened.

Wang Dachui, in particular, was the one who was instantly killed, so he was even more concerned.

"Actually, it's because my martial soul mutated and evolved, so it's quite large, isn't it? About three or four cubic meters." Lu Yan began to explain the pre-prepared content to everyone.

"I want to try summoning them all at once and using their first soul skill, Petrify, to see the effect. I feel like it would be quite effective for ambushing people."

"As a result, all the soul power was consumed at once, leading to this outcome."

After hearing Lu Yan's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

They could understand once all their soul power was consumed at once.

Everyone marveled at Lu Yan's extraordinary soul skill, which was able to support such a high output of soul power.

They naturally couldn't imagine that if it weren't for the need for authenticity, Lu Yan wouldn't have needed to expend much of his own soul power.

With the twelve-fold soul power boost from the resonant clay, Lu Yan could do this "rock-sealed coffin" ten more times without any problem.

After their initial shock, they also recalled the size of Lu Yan's "Martial Soul Clay" when he absorbed the Soul Ring.

Thinking about it this way, they found it quite reasonable. They had considered what kind of power such a large size would have if it were controlled.

Now I've seen it for myself.

However, the way they looked at Lu Yan changed completely once again.

They seemed to see Lu Yan, who had already become a Soul Venerable, Soul Master, and even a Soul King!

Lu Yan knew that he had achieved his goal and gained control over the team.

So he began asking everyone how to resolve the issue of Baron Shi Yue's subsequent retaliation.

When Lu Yan asked this question, everyone seemed to be thinking about it and asked him in return what he was thinking.

At that moment, they understood why Lu Yan was going to such lengths to reveal his skills.

As expected, Lu Yan offered his opinion and plan.

Divide the Baron and his party, then surround and kill them!

Chapter 41 Lu Yan: I lack nothing.

After completing the breakthrough of the first spirit ring, he had a better understanding of his own strength.

The first thought that came to Lu Yan's mind was that the Baron's kill line had been reached.

Especially now, Lu Yan has a clear understanding of his own strength level.

After using the Resonance Clay, his strength is definitely no weaker than that of an ordinary Soul Master.

However, it may not reach the level of a top-tier martial soul with high-end soul rings and a soul master.

For example, Dai Mubai, the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils in the original novel.

Lu Yan was no match for him at all, even though he had just broken through to the Soul Venerable realm.

Dai Mubai's soul skills, strength, defense, and attack power completely counter Lu Yan's.

Unless Lu Yan can kill him before he activates his soul skill defense.

Otherwise, Lu Yan estimated that Dai Mubai, at full power, wouldn't be able to control the rock-sealed coffin.

But Shi Yue is not Dai Mubai. He has a white ring, and his martial soul is definitely not top-tier.

Moreover, Shi Yue's weakness is particularly obvious. As long as we deal with his third soul skill, the petrification ray, we can overcome it.

His first two soul skills will be half-useless.

Having nearly died at Shi Yue's hands twice, Lu Yan was deeply impressed by the Baron's attack methods.

In a sense, both Shi Yue and Lu Yan's fighting styles are quite underhanded.

The "First Encounter Kill" technique is very powerful, but Lu Yan's weakness is not obvious; currently, his speed is simply not up to par.

Even without using the Resonating Clay, Lu Yan's attack, control, and defense capabilities are top-notch among his peers.

To defeat Lu Yan, one would either need to completely overwhelm him in every aspect, or launch a surprise close-range attack at extremely high speed.

After all, Lu Yan's close combat skills, excluding his martial soul, are just so-so, considering he has only been training for two years.

But targeting Baron Shi Yue would be much easier.

Lu Yan began to explain his plan to everyone.

First, to sow discord among their group.

Although Lu Yan was confident that he could defeat the Baron in a one-on-one fight, he could also surround and kill the Baron's group even if they didn't split up.

After all, the real Baron's party consisted of only one Soul Master, three Great Soul Masters, five Soul Masters, and one Soul Warrior.

But it's always better to be safe than sorry, as it also makes it easier to avoid future problems.

The key to this division lies with the Spirit Hall, or with Su Yuntao.

That depends on how strong Lu Daguan's connections are.

If Su Yuntao is willing to help, differentiation will be simple.

Secondly, they surrounded and killed Baron Shi Yue.

The strength of a typical Soul Master is equivalent to that of three to four top-tier Soul Masters who work well together.

Lu Yan's group consisted of six Great Soul Masters. Although they weren't top-tier, they could effectively counter Shi Yue's third Soul Skill.

With Wang Dachui, Teacher Zhou, and Old Man Su joining forces to gang up on Shi Yue in close combat, they could basically secure a victory.

A crucial point is that the Baron's martial soul has been injured by Yu Yun's attack, and his condition may be very poor.

It's basically a guaranteed kill.

After hearing Lu Yan's plan, everyone nodded in agreement, but also expressed some doubts.

Regardless of whether Lu Daguan and Su Yuntao have a close relationship, let's leave aside the question of whether their relationship is strong or not.

How to deal with the Baron's third soul skill?

Lu Yan suggested that he could act as bait to lure out the Baron's third soul skill.

Firstly, he demonstrated to everyone the clay barrier that opened instantly.

Although it's a thin layer, everyone has personally experienced the petrification rays and feels that blocking them shouldn't be a problem.

Secondly, if the Baron hadn't used the petrification ray, Lu Yan would likely have been able to dodge the first and second soul skills if he had focused his attention.

If a mistake is made, a powerful agility-type Soul Master hiding nearby can provide assistance.

If ranged combat doesn't work, then if the Baron chooses melee, Lu Yan asked Wang Dachui, who had personally experienced it.

He wondered if Shi Yue could be instantly killed. Wang Dachui replied that it was not certain that he could be instantly killed, but he could definitely control Shi Yue for a certain period of time.

Then, once the others come up to surround and kill them, the battle will be over.

Everyone thought Lu Yan's plan was too risky, but after Lu Yan's eloquent explanation, everyone agreed.

So everyone prepared to leave the Soul Hunter Forest immediately to find Lu Daguan to confirm if it was feasible, and if not, they would make other plans.

However, along the way, everyone continued to chat and add more details to the plan.
