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

At least that's what Lu Yan thinks.

After carefully putting away the gold soul coin, Lu Yan summoned his martial soul clay and casually played with it, shaping it.

They walked towards their house in Nottingham.

A dozen minutes later, after passing by Lu's pottery workshop, Lu Yan saw his own house.

The gate of the house was wide open, and a young maid was sitting confidently in the middle of the threshold.

She held a large, lifeless white cat in her arms with one hand, while munching on a dried fish with the other.

Every now and then, it would wave a small dried fish in front of the big white cat.

Seeing the big white cat extend its paw, it quickly removed the dried fish and stuffed it into its own mouth.

That little girl is really wicked, and she's smiling so slyly.

"You stinky Lu Ling, you're bullying our big white cat again!"

From a distance of about five or six meters, Lu Yan angrily rebuked the little girl.

The big white cat's name is simply Big White Cat, a name naturally given by Lu Yan.

The little girl, who was engrossed in playing with the big white cat, looked up immediately upon hearing the familiar voice.

But the big white cat took advantage of its unpreparedness and snatched the dried fish away in one bite.

However, the little girl ignored the big white cat for the moment, threw it aside, and quickly got up.

"Brother, brother, you're back!" the little girl exclaimed in surprise, and then used "Little Pig Charge" on Lu Yan.

Looking at the little girl rushing towards him, Lu Yan, who had experienced several killings, suddenly felt his heart melt.

It's so nice to have a younger sister like this!

The little girl's delicate face has become much cuter.

However, Lu Yan's expression froze the next moment.

Before the little girl could even pounce on him, she asked, "Brother, you said you'd put on a clay figure fight show for me when you got back, when is that?"

Instantly, Lu Yan swerved to the side, narrowly avoiding the little girl.

However, to prevent the little girl from falling, he casually flicked out his martial soul clay, which transformed into a large clay hand and grabbed the little girl by the back of her neck.

So, the little girl, in a half-falling-forward position, lost her balance and flailed her little hands, babbling in surprise.

Looking at the little girl so fierce and unruly, Lu Yan smiled helplessly.

Sure enough, younger sisters can never be cute.

Immediately, Lu Yan shook his head and helped the little girl regain her balance.

"Sixth brother! You're so mean! You bullied me as soon as you got back! I'm going to tell Mom!" The little girl's eyes reddened with grievance as soon as she stood up.

She had been waiting for her brother to come home at the door since early this morning, but this brat bullied her as soon as he got back!

"Little crybaby, don't cry. Brother will show you a clay figure fight in a bit." Lu Yan reached out and pinched the little girl's cheek.

"Really?" The little girl's face immediately lit up with surprise, and she didn't even care that Lu Yan reached out to pinch her cheek.

He looks exactly like a silly kid who's obsessed with "animation".

"It's fake." Lu Yan rolled his eyes at her.

The little girl immediately broke free from Lu Yan's large hand that was pinching her face, and said indignantly, "I'm four years old now, not a three-year-old anymore. You're not allowed to pinch my face!"

I wonder where this little girl learned to change her expression so quickly.

Lu Yan chuckled speechlessly and teased her, "Then I won't play with you when I have time later!"

"Sigh, there are a few fun things to play with lately, but unfortunately they're for three-year-olds, not suitable for you."

The little girl immediately fell for it, blinking at Lu Yan and asking, "What's so fun about it?"

As she spoke, she reached her little hand into Lu Yan's big hand and then said in a coquettish tone, "Brother, I want to play!"

"Let's go, you'll find out soon enough." With that, Lu Yan took the little girl's hand and walked into the house.

The Lu residence in the city is much smaller than that in Tao Tao Village, with only about 300 square meters of space.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Yan saw his mother Zhang Cui and his second sister Lu Wanqing walking out.

Immediately, Lu Yan grabbed the little girl and hurried to meet them.

"Mom, Second Sister!" Lu Yan greeted softly.

"You're back, that's good. Let Mom take a look at you." Zhang Cui pulled Lu Yan's arm and looked him up and down. "You've grown a bit taller, but you seem to have lost weight..."

"Pfft," Second Sister Lu Wanqing laughed out loud, "Third Sister, Sixth Brother has only been gone for less than half a month and has even absorbed a soul ring, how could he have lost weight?"

"I can clearly see that he's grown taller and stronger!"

Then, the four of them went into the living room together.

The meal prepared by Lu Yan's mother, Zhang Cui, was accompanied by a flurry of concern and care for him, while his second sister would occasionally interrupt with a few words.

The little girl, on the other hand, was clamoring to see the clay figures fight.

The three of them were extremely annoyed.

In the end, Lu Yan still performed for the little girl for a while on the living room table.

Of course, it also included some fabricated anecdotes to accompany the story.

Then, he even molded a bunch of children's toys into petrified shapes, which the little girl played with to her heart's content, praising her brother as being very kind.

Mother Zhang Cui and second sister Lu Wanqing also watched with great interest, finding Lu Yan's petrification ability amazing.

For a moment, the living room was filled with the warmth of home.

Lu Yan preferred this kind of atmosphere to fighting and killing.

Clearly, he is mentally healthy.

The massacre did not leave much of a mark on his heart.

Lu Yan also learned about Lu Daguan and his elder brother's whereabouts from casual conversation.

They were all busy preparing a celebratory banquet for Lu Yan as he became a Soul Master.

Lu Yan thought that Lu Daguan was quite magnanimous.

They didn't even hear about the aftermath of killing the Baron and his party, and they were already busy with other things.

Are you really that impatient?

However, Lu Yan knew that even if Lu Daguan was carefree, he would still talk to him about the outcome of this matter tonight.

It's estimated that Old Su and his two companions, along with Wang Dachui and the others, will also come to review the events.

Tonight, we need to have two tables of food first.

Just as Lu Yan had predicted.

In the evening, Lu Daguan returned with Old Man Su and the other two.

He also brought back Lu Yan's graduation certificate.

Not long after, Wang Dachui and his group also arrived at the door.

Everyone went into Lu Yan's basement to review the events.

Lu Yan naturally recounted the aftermath to everyone, albeit a version he had edited.

However, Lu Yan did not hide from everyone the fact that he had assassinated the Baroness and used this to mislead the investigation.

Then everyone began to re-analyze the whole incident.

They also felt that it definitely wouldn't involve them.

Thus, this matter will be left at that for now, pending further news from Su Yuntao's Martial Spirit Hall to bring a definitive conclusion.

So everyone left the basement and joined the Lu family, who had already gathered in the living room, for a normal celebratory dinner.

During the banquet, the three old men, including Su, discussed the events that had occurred at the academy the previous day.

The Spirit Hall has issued a gag order, but can it really keep quiet?

It's just self-deception; people will still say whatever they want in private.

Lu Yan finally understood why the people from the Spirit Hall looked at him strangely during the Soul Master certification.

It turned out that he had unwittingly become involved in a farce orchestrated by the master.

It even became the most important example among them.

This left Lu Yan somewhat dumbfounded; he never expected that his first public appearance would be in this way.

Lu Yan felt even more disgusted with Yu Xiaogang.

They sneaked into his dormitory and even published Lu Daguan's research results under his name, Yu Xiaogang.

Regardless of the outcome, his actions were already a path to certain death.

Unfortunately, we can't kill him.

Fortunately, Lu Yan and his son were not implicated in this farcical argument.

After hearing the whole story, Lu Yan and Lu Daguan repeatedly toasted Old Man Su.

Although the words were not spoken aloud, Lu Yan and Lu Daguan were both very clear about the effect and purpose of Old Man Su's remarks.

This undoubtedly resolved any potential future problems for Lu Yan and Lu Daguan on the spot.

They even used Yu Xiaogang to spread the news that Lu Yan's martial soul had increased potential after its mutation and evolution.

This completely closed the causal loop between Lu Yan's cultivation speed and growth potential.

This method is far more effective than Lu Daguan's wedding banquet.

From then on, the Lu family truly achieved a small leap in social class.

Especially after news of Lu Yan possessing a mid-to-high-level mutated martial soul spread.

This mid-to-high-level mutated martial soul is truly amazing.

Because it is a mutated martial soul, naturally no one would covet Lu Yan's martial soul bloodline inheritance, as it is too unstable and not particularly advanced.
