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

Lu Daguan: "Teacher, you're right! I also think what he said is utter nonsense!"

"As for that so-called 'earth' elemental weapon spirit, can I tell him that there are hundreds of clay weapon spirits like that in our village?"

"Most of them don't have innate soul power. Only Xiao Liu awakened the first level. This is clearly luck, not some kind of malignant mutation!"

"Hiccup, a 'useless martial soul' with only level one innate soul power? How can a level one innate soul power be considered a 'useless martial soul'? What level would it take to not be considered a 'useless martial soul'?"

Old Man Su: "Alas, young Lu, after all, we come from different backgrounds. For commoners like us, having one or two levels of innate soul power is already considered lucky."

"And what is their background? I heard they are a disciple of a major sect. How could someone with only level one innate soul power catch their eye?"

Upon hearing Old Man Su's words, Lu Yan added in his mind, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

Then, while scavenging the leftovers, he endured the bombardment of conversations in his ears.

Lu Daguan: "But teacher, I heard that his soul power is not much higher than mine, and it's not even level one."

Old Man Su: "But that doesn't stop people from looking down on commoners with low innate soul power."

"However, I was a little surprised that he came to see you today. It seems that what Teacher Liu said to him a while ago had a big impact on him!"

"Heh, he got excited when he saw our sixth son's martial soul mutated. Do you think I don't know what he's up to?"

"If Xiao Liu really gets his guidance, he'll be ruined!"

Lu Daguan: "That's right, how could I let Xiao Liu accept his fallacies!"

"I would only feel at ease if someone with your experience, like you, taught the sixth graders."

Old Man Su: "Hahaha, don't worry about leaving it to me!"

The two clinked glasses again as they talked.

On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang finally couldn't stand the two's hurtful "slander".

He glared at his neighbor with resentment, unable to accept the blow of reality, slammed a plate of food onto the table, and then stood up angrily.

He left, and no one noticed.

It wasn't that he didn't want to cause trouble for Old Man Su; it was simply because Old Man Su was also a Great Soul Master, and he estimated that he couldn't defeat him.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan's ears were completely filled with the voices of the two old men.

The two old men continued drinking, and speechless, he could only silently find a corner to engage in simple soul power cultivation to digest and absorb the abundant energy from this meal.

At the same time, I hope time will pass quickly so that I can try out the courses at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy sooner.

Chapter 6 The Master's Obsession, Lu Yan's Study Life

That night, Lu Daguan was helped away by Old Man Su.

After all, how could a mere level six Soul Warrior compare to the physical attributes of Old Man Su, a Great Soul Master?

After watching his father get into his family's carriage and leave, Lu Yan was taken back to his dormitory by Old Man Su.

Lu Yan didn't need to worry too much about his father's accommodations for the night, since his family owned a residence in Nottingham City.

The eldest brother, who manages the shops in the city, lives there. When he returns home, he is naturally taken care of by his elder brother.

Back in his dorm, Lu Yan finally had time to take a good look at the room where he would be living for several years.

The space is about 30 square meters, and although the decoration is not exquisite, it is small but complete.

Especially since the dormitory is on the first floor, all that is needed is to dig up a stone brick on the ground, which makes it very convenient for Lu Yan to carry out the earth-burying simulation cultivation of his martial soul.

Lu Daguan probably took this into consideration, which is why he chose to have the dormitory on the first floor. Lu Yan was very satisfied with this.

No wonder it's a dormitory that requires extra money and connections to get a room. If Lu Yan were to live in the dormitory where dozens of people shared in the original story, he wouldn't be able to stand it at all.

After tidying up the clothes in the package and putting them in the closet, and taking care of his personal hygiene, Lu Yan lay on the bed and rolled around a couple of times.

Feeling the fresh scent emanating from the bedding, I became increasingly satisfied with this living environment.

After that, Lu Yan continued his daily training in shaping and controlling his martial soul as usual.

The joy of playing in the mud lasted until his soul power and mental energy were almost exhausted, at which point Lu Yan went to sleep as usual.

Lu Yan had a good night's sleep.

Yu Xiaogang, however, tossed and turned, and whenever he closed his eyes, he could almost hear Lu Daguan and Old Man Su talking behind his back.

"Could my theory really be wrong?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"What do these low-level Soul Masters from small places know about Martial Soul theory!"

"A mere Grand Soul Master dares to question my theory? That's utterly absurd!"

Thinking this way, Yu Xiaogang's mood calmed down a little.

But a moment later, he couldn't help but recall Lu Daguan's words.

“There are hundreds of clay martial spirits like this in our village.”

Unconsciously, a flash of resentment appeared in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

"Damn the Spirit Hall! The data in the records is actually wrong! I've put in so much effort!"

"It's all your fault, Bibi Dong! You made me put in so much effort, only to produce incorrect data!"

"My theoretical analysis cannot be wrong; the only mistake is in the data I obtained!"

"No one understands the theory of martial spirits better than me, no one!"

Resentment and anger churned within him, and Yu Xiaogang recalled how he had repeatedly tried to persuade the father and son to stay.

"They actually dared to play me! Damn it, they really deserve to die!"

"And I even put in the effort to make a training plan for this brat!"

"Utterly foolish! I want to see how far he can cultivate with his mutated, useless martial soul, which has only one level of innate soul power, without my guidance!"

"With such talent and aptitude, I'm afraid he won't be able to reach the Soul Master level even after graduating in six years!"

"This is utterly absurd; he is indeed dull-witted and beyond redemption."

"If I ever hear that your cultivation has gone astray, or that you have chosen the wrong soul ring, then that will be the price you pay for refusing me today!"

The more Yu Xiaogang thought about it, the more he found Lu Yan's childish face repulsive.

"That damned brat, and that old scoundrel surnamed Su!"

"What good are hundreds of Soul Masters you train? They'll all be struggling at the bottom, and how many of them will become true powerhouses?"

"How many people actually know your name?"

"And my master Yu Xiaogang is already famous throughout the entire Soul Master world."

"Moreover, I will be able to train a true powerhouse sooner or later, and just one will far surpass your achievements of decades!"

"One day, I will prove my theory and my ability to the world!"

……

The following day was the official start of the semester for all students.

After going through a series of school opening procedures, and with the passage of time, Lu Yan's academic life got back on track.

Daily morning exercise, two classes in the morning: one general education class and one training class.

The afternoons were free time, as he had already received early education and was literate.

Although incomplete, the basic quality education provided by general education courses is sufficient to gradually make up for the deficiencies.

Lu Yan usually spends half his time cultivating his soul power and the other half in the academy's library.

This perfectly makes up for his lack of knowledge and understanding of the Douluo Continent.

The nights are used to train the development of martial spirit and practice shaping abilities until the spirit power and mental power reach their limit.

The simple and unpretentious school life was by no means boring.

Because general education courses, apart from basic literacy and arithmetic education, can be somewhat boring.

Content related to history, geography, culture, and various aspects of Soul Masters.

For example, how to identify spirit beasts, precautions for hunting spirits, and how to handle emergencies and dangers.

Although the general education courses were relatively basic, they broadened Lu Yan's horizons.

This perfectly complemented what he had read in the afternoon, giving Lu Yan a deeper understanding of the real Douluo Continent.

The training courses focus on students' meditation practice and combat skills training, including physical fitness, unarmed combat, and armed combat.

The main focus is on teaching and training methods, as well as various techniques used during the process.

Furthermore, the teaching content will differ between Beast Martial Souls and Weapon Martial Souls.

Of course, practical training is an essential part of the training program, but Lu Yan is only a first-year student and has no prior experience, so there are no relevant courses scheduled for him.

However, Lu Yan did witness the practical training between senior students.

It can only be said that the skill levels are indeed uneven. Some students are still fighting like complete novices, while others are already able to compete with each other in a very respectable manner, which makes Lu Yan watch intently.

Time flies, and three months have passed.

On this day, Lu Yan was having dinner with Old Man Su, Teacher Li, and Teacher Zhou in a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria.

Teacher Li is Lu Yan's training instructor and also Lu Daguan's old classmate.

Teacher Zhou is in charge of the training courses for the senior students, and is also an old classmate of Lu Daguan.

Lu Yan had met Teacher Li and Teacher Zhou before, at the wedding banquet.

Over the past three months, the three people, including Old Man Su and the two teachers, have shown great concern and care for Lu Yan.

This made Lu Yan's three months of study and life extremely comfortable, without experiencing any setbacks.

"Xiao Liu, I've noticed you've been going to the library a lot lately. You need to be careful with your time; you can't fall behind in your Soul Master training."

While eating, Old Man Su reminded Lu Yan.

"Yes, Grandpa Su, I understand. I'm just too curious and want to know everything, since the content of the general education courses is too general."

"However, I will probably go to the library less often in the future and spend more time on cultivation."
