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

But it wasn't completely successful, because the next moment Lu Yan's first spirit ring lit up.

Rock seals the head!

Shi Yue's head, along with his soul power shield, was sealed into clay and rock by Lu Yan.

If it weren't for the fact that the clay was not large enough at the moment, the only option would be to choose between sealing the head with rocks and attacking with rock spikes, for the sake of stability.

It's not a rock-sealed head anymore, it's a rock spike attack.

But there was absolutely no possibility of any unexpected events.

At the same time, it blocked the spear attack on the part of the clay that had become inhuman and formed the "clay giant".

Like a bursting flood, it surged towards Shi Yue's body, instantly enveloping him.

The rock-sealing of the coffin and the rock spike attack were carried out simultaneously.

In that instant, Shi Yue's body was riddled with holes by the rock spikes.

The next moment, all petrification was lifted, and clay mixed with a large amount of gushing blood slid off Shi Yue's body.

Lu Yan collapsed to the ground, his face pale, even letting blood splatter all over his body.

Everything else is easy to explain, but regarding the upper limit of soul power, Lu Yan still has to play the role.

From the moment the Baron noticed something was wrong and shouted out, to the end of the battle, nothing happened in the blink of an eye.

However, at this moment, Teacher Li also arrived at Lu Yan's side and pulled Lu Yan a few meters away.

To avoid getting splattered with blood, Ah Lang and Ah Bao stood with them.

Soon, the crowd approached and stood nearby.

Finishing blow? No need.

Shi Yue's body was riddled with holes, but he hadn't died yet, only held on by his soul power and willpower.

Shi Yue looked at Lu Yan and spoke in a weak, intermittent voice.

"You...are you really...at least...first-level innate soul power?"

Everyone was surprised. Lu Yan looked at him, nodded in astonishment, and uttered a single word: "Yes."

Upon hearing this, a child's face flashed in Shi Yue's eyes.

"Daddy, touch my head. Am I all grown up now?"

Tears welled up in his eyes in an instant.

He didn't know where the strength came from, but he stretched out his hand as if to touch something, but he couldn't touch anything.

"Little Stone...my...Little Stone...my son..."

Shi Yue finally lost his voice while muttering to himself, and his body slid off the horse's back.

In his final moments, he regretted it.

Is it worth it...? No, it's not!

Throughout his life, he devoted all his efforts to abandoning everything. What did he do, and for what purpose?

His only real son... was Little Stone... but...

"What was he just babbling about?" Wang Dachui frowned as he looked at the three agility-type Soul Masters who were closest to him and probably had the most sensitive senses.

"It seems to be something like a small stone or a son," Ah Bao replied.

"Oh, his son was buried by Xiao Lu last night. He was stripped naked and his head was smashed." Wang Dachui shook his head.

"Little Lu is really cautious. He might have some kind of soul-binding ability to obtain memories from the minds of the dead."

"Better safe than sorry," Old Man Su replied.

"Then let's smash this one's head too," Ah Lang chimed in.

"What are you smashing? Let's collect the spoils first!" Wang Dachui glared at A Lang, then happy Zhizhi ignored the blood and clay all over the ground and began to search for the spoils.

Teacher Zhou and Teacher Li stood on either side of Lu Yan, observing his condition and finding nothing wrong.

Teacher Zhou looked at Teacher Li, who seemed lost in thought, and asked, "Teacher Li, what are you daydreaming about?"

Teacher Li snapped out of her reverie, "It's nothing, I just feel like this person has a story."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“So what if you have a story? Everyone has a story,” Teacher Zhou patted Teacher Li on the shoulder.

"Don't you have a story? Doesn't Old Wang have a story? Doesn't anyone have a story?"

"If someone dies, they die. Who cares?"

"Hahaha"

Everyone burst into laughter, the air thick with the schadenfreude of revenge.

Then everyone teased Teacher Li about his inexplicably profound nature.

As the sun set, its rays stained the ground like blood, yet the crowd laughed and chatted, creating a harmonious scene amidst the clay and blood scattered on the ground.

For most people, blood and corpses mean nothing.

Life and death are nothing more than that; everyone has long been accustomed to them.

The corpses of the enemy bring only joy.

However, the next moment, Wang Dachui's voice interrupted everyone's emotions.

"What are you all doing? Help clean up the mess!"

So everyone busied themselves, including Lu Yan, cleaning up all traces of the battle.

During the process, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the power of Lu Yan's all-out attack.

It can be described as an invincible "first encounter kill" in close combat.

Time flows relentlessly, and the setting sun dips below the horizon.

The group will then separate, each embarking on their own separate paths.

Chapter 45: Taking stock of gains and attempting to develop capabilities.

Night is not always quiet.

Under the cool moonlight, there was a touch of liveliness.

On the official road leading from the Soul Hunter Forest to Karding City, a person rode a small donkey and sang softly on the deserted road.

The woods on both sides of the official road were filled with the chirping of birds and insects, and the occasional roar of wild beasts seemed to accompany him.

"I have a little donkey, which I never ride. One day, I was feeling happy, so I rode it to the market..."

With no one around, Lu Yan let loose and rode his clay donkey, acting wildly and recklessly.

He was indeed in a very good mood.

It wasn't just because he had avenged two near-death experiences.

Furthermore, two storage soul tools were found on the Baron and his son.

There are two storage soul tools, one is a ring, and the other is also a ring.

However, the storage ring on the young baron's body was much smaller than the five cubic meters on the baron's body, only one cubic meter.

However, the total storage space of six cubic meters completely solved the problem of carrying the resonance clay for a long time to come for Lu Yan.

It might even free up some space so that Lu Yan can store some necessary items.

Of course, both storage rings contained many items that were originally stored within them.

However, aside from the baron and his son's identification items, such as badges, seals, tokens, clothing, etc.

And some written materials such as letters, documents, ledgers, notes, and diaries.

Lu Yan distributed all the valuables to everyone except for a few items that he could use.

This even includes tens of thousands of gold soul coins stored in the Baron's ring.

In these two ambushes, everyone made a fortune, earning at least one or two thousand gold soul coins.

Of course, Lu Yan took the lion's share; the value of just these two storage soul guide rings was probably close to or even exceeded 100,000 gold soul coins.

However, no one had any objection to this. On the contrary, the suggestion that Lu Yan take the lion's share was made by everyone together.

After all, the ambush plan was orchestrated by Lu Yan, and the Baron was killed by Lu Yan alone.

Now, Lu Yan has to handle the cleanup work on his own.

According to the distribution of merits, Lu Yan should also take the lion's share.

Moreover, since everyone is optimistic about Lu Yan's potential, they naturally seize the opportunity to establish a closer relationship.

And so the matter was settled. After waiting for an hour on the road and meeting up with Lu Daguan's carriage, everyone embarked on their journey back to Nottingham.

No one was worried about sending Lu Yan alone to Karding City to handle the aftermath.

Lu Yan has proven himself through his strength and facts. Even though he is only eight years old now, people will no longer treat him as a child.

Yes, it's past midnight now, the new year has arrived, and Lu Yan has officially turned eight years old.

Although he is eight years old, he looks somewhat immature, and his height of just over 1.7 meters is remarkable if he were not a Soul Master.

Judging from his appearance, he could easily pass for an ordinary fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

This development is really too fast. Lu Yan is even a little worried that he might grow to be over two meters tall.

However, he noticed that even after absorbing his first spirit ring, his height did not increase much.

Based on this, it can be inferred that he will probably grow to around 1.8 meters tall.

If he were too tall, he would feel a bit awkward.

Regarding the spoils of war, besides the two storage soul guide rings,

Among the baron's ring was an egg-sized piece, with several small pieces cut off. Lu Yan suspected it was whale glue, which was one of his more pleasantly surprising finds.

Judging from its appearance, it was likely a piece of ancient whale glue, but Lu Yan estimated that it weighed only about 800 grams.
