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

If it weren't for having to return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye every night to suppress the toxin riots.

Dugu Bo wished he could just move in here too, and keep an eye on that damned brat Lu Yan every day.

However, Dugu Bo was an old man, and naturally he knew that as an elder, he couldn't interfere in everything.

She was also afraid that her beloved granddaughter would really dislike her.

Even when facing his only blood relative, a powerful Title Douluo like Dugu Bo.

Sometimes, all I can do is anxiously pace around like any other elder, without any good solutions.

It fully expresses the hardships of being an elder.

When he heard Lu Yan, that brat, belittle his ability to teach Yan Yan, he was shocked.

Dugu Bo wished he could show himself immediately, pull out his belt, and let this brat know whether he knew how to "teach" or not.

Fortunately, his beloved granddaughter's protection of her grandfather saved Lu Yan's life for the time being.

Lu Yan's subsequent demonstration of control skills truly impressed Dugu Bo.

It's barely worth watching.

He wanted to see what tricks this brat could pull.

If he's spouting nonsense, don't blame him for using the snakeskin belt in his hand without mercy.

Lu Yan, of course, was unaware that the old man Dugu Bo was secretly spying on him.

In response to the little snake girl's words, Lu Yan smiled slightly: "Yan Yan, look again."

As he spoke, a ball of earth-yellow soul power emerged from his hand.

This clump of earthy yellow soul power, just like clay, quickly took shape before Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's eyes.

In a short while, it took shape like a clay snake girl, and then it came to life as Lu Yan's fingers danced across the paper.

Upon seeing this, the little snake girl opened her mouth wide, as if she could fit an egg inside, and even the mute sister looked surprised.

If their control over the martial soul clay was still within their comprehension, then Lu Yan's control over soul power was something else entirely.

This completely exceeded their expectations; it's amazing!

You should know that soul power has no physical form; it is ethereal and intangible.

To achieve such a level of control is incredibly difficult!

Even so, the image formed by Lu Yan's soul power lacked far more detail than the image of the little snake girl formed by his martial soul clay.

But in their eyes, it was also a horrifying thing!

Even Dugu Bo, high in the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this.

interesting.

As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo naturally possessed the mental strength to achieve what Lu Yan had.

But how could Lu Yan, a mere level seventeen Soul Master, possibly accomplish this?

That's right, Lu Yan reached level seventeen, which he achieved ten days ago when he was under the pressure of Dugu Bo.

Therefore, Dugu Bo naturally discovered his true strength.

However, Dugu Bo naturally didn't take a mere level seventeen strength seriously.

Even Lu Yan himself didn't care at all about his soul power level increasing by one level.

For him, raising his soul power level by just one level was indeed not enough to significantly improve his overall strength.

How could Lu Yan, with his meager strength and far below-standard mental power, achieve such exquisite control over soul power?

Even Dugu Bo's curiosity was piqued.

Not to mention the little snake girl and the mute sister.

With a flick of her tail, the little snake girl wrapped her soft body around Lu Yan.

"Yanyan, this is amazing! How did you do that? Tell me, teach me!"

The little snake girl was first amazed, then immediately started acting coquettishly.

If her control over soul power is greatly improved, it is equivalent to her ability to greatly improve her control over poisonous fog.

The mute girl looked at Lu Yan with anticipation, but also hesitated. What was next?

Should I avoid this situation?

Is this secret of soul power manipulation something I can just overhear?

"Don't shake, don't shake, get down first, I'll tell you something." Lu Yan pulled the little snake girl, who was becoming increasingly clingy to him, off his body.

Then his expression turned serious, and he adopted the demeanor of a "master" who is a role model for students, standing with his hands behind his back.

Who can't be a "master"? You agree, right, Master Yu Xiaogang.

"Yanyan, Lingling, listen up! Lu Yan's Little Classroom is starting!"

Seeing Lu Yan's pretentious posture, the little snake girl also sat up straight in agreement.

Even the mute sister sat up a little straighter.

High in the sky, Dugu Bo's anger, which had been rising because of his granddaughter's intimate behavior with Lu Yan, subsided somewhat.

He wanted to see what profound theories this brat Lu Yan could come up with.

Chapter 86 A Small Lesson, A Huge Impact

Lu Yan coughed twice, feigning seriousness, before speaking.

"I want to know how to achieve such soul power manipulation." After keeping her in suspense for a moment, which earned him a glare from the little snake girl, Lu Yan finally got to the point.

"First, we need to understand what soul power actually is."

"I know, I know, soul power is a kind of energy!" The little snake girl raised her hand to answer, behaving like a good student, and was fully immersed in her "role-playing" with Lu Yan.

The mute girl didn't speak, but nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with the little snake girl's point of view.

"This answer is too general. There are so many kinds of energy, so why is it that only soul power can be controlled and used by soul masters?"

Lu Yan held up one finger and waved it: "But you can't be blamed for this. The current education system is just too rudimentary."

Thinking about the elementary soul master academy, and now that he understands the theoretical courses of the Royal Academy, Lu Yan shook his head.

What a load of rubbish theory class! It rambled on and on without getting to the most important point.

No wonder self-created soul skills are so rare in Douluo Continent; it's entirely because the entire education system is a complete mess.

Over the past ten days, I have been able to access library content, especially quickly read content that requires access permissions.

Lu Yan now had a general understanding of the current level of theoretical research in Douluo Continent.

There is some useful information, but it is completely scattered across various different books.

Discovered or researched by different Soul Masters, there is no complete and systematic knowledge organization.

If Lu Yan hadn't been searching with a specific purpose in mind, he wouldn't have been able to extract any useful information from the massive amount of text.

After lamenting the education system that should have been swept into the dustbin of history, Lu Yan finally spoke, under the expectant gazes of the little snake girl and the mute sister.

"Soul power is a type of energy, but what we need to understand is how soul power differs from other energies, and why we can control soul power."

“I’ve seen some things in the library. Some people think it’s because of meditation, some think it’s because of martial spirit, and some think it’s because of mental power.”

"All of them are correct, but not entirely correct."

As Lu Yan spoke, he created a stone table in front of him, gesturing for the little snake girl and the mute sister to look over.

Lu Yan then created a small clay ball. "Let's assume this ball represents soul power. What are its components?"

"Yanyan, you answer."

"I don't know!" the little snake girl said matter-of-factly.

"You little idiot!" Lu Yan reached out and threw a piece of clay chalk at her.

So the little snake girl grunted angrily like a little pig.

Then, Lu Yan's expression turned serious. "Lingling, what do you think?"

"Is it through the absorption of external energy via meditation of the martial spirit, combined with mental power?" Ye Lingling asked, answering in a clear and melodious voice.

"Yes, but not entirely. However, this is the general consensus among knowledgeable people on the Douluo Continent." Lu Yan nodded, which was considered an affirmation of Ye Lingling.

Then, with a thought, he separated three clay balls from the soul power ball, naming them the spirit ball, the energy ball, and the martial soul ball.

"According to Lingling, that should be the case." Lu Yan gestured for the two of them to look, but then waved his finger.

“However, in my opinion, most Soul Masters may have overlooked one point.” As he spoke, Lu Yan separated another small ball from the energy ball.

"That is the body's own energy, but it's understandable; the more familiar something is, the easier it is for people to overlook it."

"The fact that the body's energy exists within the soul power can be easily deduced from the fact that the body will feel extremely tired after consuming a large amount of soul power."

"However, the consumption of soul power by soul masters is usually accompanied by a lot of physical exercise and mental energy consumption, so this point is often overlooked."

In this way, the energy spheres are divided into external energy and body energy.

Then, Lu Yan spoke again: "In addition to this, after a Soul Master attaches a Soul Ring, there is an additional energy source from the Soul Ring."

Therefore, Lu Yan further divided the Martial Soul Ball into Martial Soul Balls and Soul Ring Balls.

"The influence of martial spirit, spirit ring, external energy, physical energy, and mental power are the components of spirit power that I have currently identified."

"With these five components, I believe you can understand now."

"What's the difference between soul power and other energies? And why can we control soul power? You've got those two questions covered, right?"

After speaking, Lu Yan glanced at the little snake girl and the mute sister, his gaze sweeping over them.

The little snake girl no longer had the heart to play around, and together with her mute sister, she nodded seriously.

Lu Yan's narration is vivid and easy to understand.

"Teacher, teacher, so our ability to control soul power ultimately comes down to mental power, right?" The little snake girl raised her hand and asked, looking like a good student.

"But what is the connection between these five factors and the improvement of soul power control? Doesn't it still rely on mental power?"
