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

This was precisely Ning Fengya's purpose in taking out the painting.

With Lu Yan's constant rewriting, the entire picture had almost completely changed its appearance in just a few minutes.

After digesting Lu Yan's explanation for a moment, Ning Fengya looked at Lu Yan with a resentful gaze.

It's as if it's saying, "This is the great progress you were talking about, and it's guaranteed to be authentic?"

Faced with Ning Fengya's resentful gaze, Lu Yan smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

He thought to himself that he had actually restrained himself quite a bit.

If Ning Fengya knew that he could go even further in his paintings and reach a level of hyperrealism, it might just blow her mind.

Of course, Lu Yan would never reveal his true painting skills, especially his application of color.

Otherwise, with his own sculpting ability, plus his hyper-realistic painting and color skills, he could achieve great results.

It's easy to imagine that he could easily change his appearance and switch identities at will.

Thinking this way, Lu Yan continued to revise the subsequent works for Ning Fengya at her request.

After all the works had been revised, the luxurious carriage the two were riding in stopped outside the Great Soul Arena of Heaven Dou City.

This was naturally the destination that Lu Yan had instructed the driver to take when he got into the carriage.

After letting Ning Fengya get off the car first, Lu Yan also changed his makeup and appearance, putting on a set of combat-ready clothes.

He transformed from a master sculptor exuding artistic flair into a young Soul Master wearing an earthy yellow clay mask.

Since arriving in Tiandou City, he has made sure to come to the Great Soul Arena every two or three days to participate in Soul Battles and hone his combat experience.

Now, he has risen from the Iron Soul Master level to the Bronze Soul Master level under the name "Ou Nijiang" and has gained a certain popularity among Soul Masters of the same level and Great Soul Masters.

His points have accumulated to over nine hundred, and if all goes well, he can get the Silver Douluo Badge tonight.

Of course, besides honing his combat experience, Lu Yan also had other purposes for participating in Soul Battle.

After becoming familiar with the Great Soul Arena, Lu Yan obtained a piece of important information that was very useful to him.

At the level of Bronze Douluo, there was also a popular young female Soul Master named "Purple Mist and Jade Phosphorus".

Lu Yan: Dugu Yan, you might as well just give me your ID number.

Purple hair, poisonous mist, and a jade-green snake—this isn't Dugu Yan. I'll eat it.

In fact, to confirm his identity, Lu Yan even talked to Ning Fengya about this "Purple Mist and Azure Phosphorus".

Ning Fengya also mysteriously revealed that this person might be the granddaughter of Poison Douluo.

Getting to know Dugu Yan in the Battle Soul was also one of Lu Yan's goals.

Especially when he inquired about the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy from Ning Fengya.

There has been no news of Poison Douluo's granddaughter or a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

If Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng have already joined the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Given their identities, there would inevitably be related news circulating, especially since Lu Yan obtained intelligence through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Given the presence of someone at the Title Douluo level, or even the movements of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't possibly be completely unaware of it.

After receiving this news, Lu Yan carefully calculated that, according to the original novel, Dugu Yan should be two to three years older than him.

They are only ten or eleven years old now.

Thus, considering Dugu Yan's background, the defects in her martial soul, and her innate talent of level seven soul power, Lu Yan deduced that she probably had not yet reached the level of a Great Soul Master.

It's reasonable that he didn't join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, since the academy's admission level is above level 21, and it focuses on courses for those above the Great Soul Master level.

Although those below the Great Soul Master level can also join the academy early and become students of the Heavenly Micro level if they wish, provided they meet the requirements of talent or background.

But clearly, neither Dugu Bo nor Dugu Yan had such thoughts.

Lu Yan had also heard that this "Purple Mist and Azure Phosphorus" Soul Master had not come to fight for two or three months.

Lu Yan guessed that Dugu Yan might have reached level 20 and gone to hunt for a soul ring.

What a coincidence!

Although I missed the chance to get to know Dugu Yan in the game.

However, Lu Yan felt that Dugu Yan might also break through to become a Great Soul Master and return soon after he joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Perhaps, they might even become his classmates.

Of course, this also means that Yu Tianheng is very likely to become his classmate.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan frowned again.

Yu Tianheng's purpose in joining the Tiandou Royal Academy is as clear as day.

Undoubtedly, it was for Dugu Yan's sake, so that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could also gain the participation of Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo.

This is a very clever scheme.

Lu Yan could understand the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's behavior.

After all, how is his behavior any different from that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan?

However, if he tries to get close to Dugu Yan, he will inevitably face Yu Tianheng's targeting.

Furthermore, if he were to make progress with Dugu Yan, he might face direct assassination by the powerful members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

But there's no way around it, everyone says Dugu Yan is the top must-eat on the Douluo Continent list.

But not everyone can seize such an incredible opportunity.

He wanted to win over Dugu Yan and gain Dugu Bo as his powerful backer.

First, you need a powerful backer to deal with the threat from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan.

If you want to find a powerful backer, you first need to have a backer of the same level yourself.

The logic is flawed and closed.

Lu Yan sighed inwardly, wondering why Ning Fengya had disguised herself as an outer disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Can it withstand it?

It feels like it's completely sealed up.

So, with mixed feelings, Lu Yan and Ning Fengya entered the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena together.

Just a short while after Lu Yan, an old man with green hair and blue eyes arrived outside the Great Soul Arena with a pretty girl with purple hair.

Chapter 55 Battle Opponent: "Purple Mist and Azure Phosphorus"

"I really don't understand why you work so hard?"

The Heavenly Battle Arena, One-on-One Battle Zone, Arena Number Three.

Lu Yan had just won a battle against a level 19 offensive weapon spirit master and stepped down from the stage.

Ning Fengya, who was in the audience, walked over and looked at Lu Yan, who had many injuries. She sighed.

"With your current achievements in the arts, you are no less than ordinary Soul Masters or even some Soul Kings in terms of income and status."

"And with your talent, even if you fight to the death, you'll only ever become a Soul King in the end. What's the point?"

In response to Ning Fengya's nonchalant remarks, Lu Yan rolled his eyes at him, "Brother Ning, you're making it sound like Soul Kings are cheap."

"No, it's just that don't you think that Soul Master cultivation, which can be seen to have no end at a glance, is quite boring?"

"It's not that I don't practice cultivation, but there's absolutely no need to work as hard as you do."

"And you could have completely avoided these injuries."

As Ning Fengya spoke, she and Lu Yan walked to the seats next to them and sat down.

“Strength is paramount, Brother Ning.” Lu Yan didn’t care at all about his minor injuries.

In order to hone his close combat skills and improve his combat experience, he suppressed the use of clay martial soul, using it only as a backup.

Injuries are inevitable, and they are also part of combat experience.

Of course, it wasn't that Lu Yan had masochistic tendencies, but rather that he wanted to hone the rudimentary Thick Earth Fist technique he had recently figured out.

It's called Thick Earth Fist, but it's actually just Lu Yan combining some fist and foot routines from his previous life and this life with Thick Earth Guiding Exercise and Thick Earth Technique.

The integration of soul power and qi and blood force forms the prototype of "self-created soul skills".

This is all thanks to a piece of ancient whale glue that I recently obtained through other channels.

These other channels naturally refer to channels other than Ning Fengya's.

After all, there were still some things he needed to hide from Ning Fengya, such as his own soul power level. To outsiders, he was at level fourteen, but in reality, he was already close to level seventeen.

For example, the role of whale glue might be revealed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future, after assessing the risks, in order to properly absorb the second soul ring at the thousand-year level.

But that's definitely not the current situation.

During the process of refining whale glue, the boiling state of his blood and qi gave him a deeper level of control over the application of blood and qi.

The rudimentary form of Houtuquan (a style of Chinese martial arts) originated from this.

Furthermore, through the free fusion and transformation between Qi and Blood and Soul Power, Lu Yan can disguise his Soul Power level within a certain range, with almost no flaws.

After all, qi and blood can be integrated into the flesh and blood.

In addition, the minor injuries also gave Lu Yan a good excuse to contact Ye's Medical Clinic.

Although I have never met Ye Lingling, nor the owner of the legendary Ye Family Medical Clinic.

That was a high-level Soul Master of the Healing type, at the Soul Douluo level.

However, Lu Yan had already learned from Ning Fengya that the Soul Douluo's Martial Soul was the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

Given such a legitimate and open opportunity to get to know Ye Lingling, how could Lu Yan possibly miss it?

Unfortunately, despite visiting many times, I have yet to have the chance to meet that Soul Douluo or Ye Lingling.

However, this is quite normal. It's just a minor injury to a Soul Master, which can be easily treated by a low-level healing Soul Master sitting in the clinic.

Ning Fengya scoffed at Lu Yan's perfunctory "strength is paramount" response.

He had witnessed Lu Yan's shaping abilities firsthand.
