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

Although from the perspective of the family's long-term interests, this direction doesn't seem wrong...

But Old Deng, do you want to see how old your son is this year?

I'm only seven years old! You old fool!

If you're talking to me about this at a time like this, you must have something seriously wrong with your head!

Is Douluo Continent the place where "the God of Love fell," and not just a story made up by readers?

In the end, Lu Yan couldn't stand being pressured to get married even after transmigrating and being reincarnated, so he changed the subject.

"Dad, I have something to show you." With that, Lu Yan opened the package he always kept by his side and placed it between the two of them.

Inside the package was a lump of pale yellow clay, about half the size of a water basin.

"Why are you carrying such a big lump of clay around with you?"

In fact, Lu Daguan had noticed the package long ago, but he was distracted by something else just now, so he asked a question.

"Hehe, Dad, watch closely." Lu Yan smiled mysteriously.

Then Lu Yan reached out and beckoned to the lump of clay, and the lump of clay actually moved as if it were alive, slowly wriggling towards Lu Yan.

Then, accompanied by Lu Yan's gestures, her fingertips danced, slowly changing into various shapes.

"You didn't use your soul power? What's going on?" The words were almost out of his mouth, but Lu Daguan swallowed them back.

Because he saw Lu Yan make a shushing gesture to him.

Lu Daguan was shocked. This lump of clay was clearly not Lu Yan's martial soul, and he could also sense that Lu Yan was not using his soul power.

But Lu Yan was able to control this lump of clay and make it move, which shocked him greatly!

"Hehe, I carry this big lump of clay with me so I can play with it anytime!" Lu Yan smiled mysteriously again.

Hehehe.

Old Deng, I told you to urge me to get married, you've been holding it in all this time!

Chapter 9 "External Martial Soul" Storage Soul Guidance Device

Sure enough, Lu Daguan spoke much less and seemed somewhat absent-minded throughout the rest of the journey.

Lu Yan couldn't help but chuckle as he watched him wrap that lump of clay tightly around himself, placing it beside him and touching and pressing it every now and then.

The carriage was not the place to talk, and Lu Yan naturally understood this from the beginning, so he made a shushing gesture.

Lu Daguan obviously understood, so he didn't ask any more questions along the way. After casually asking a few more questions about Lu Yan's academic performance, he fell silent.

He lifted the carriage curtain several times along the way, making Lu Yan feel like he was about to tell the driver to get off so he could drive off at breakneck speed.

Time flew by, and the carriage stopped in front of the Lu family mansion in Tao Tao Village.

Lu Daguan got off the bus quickly with his package, while Lu Yan followed slowly behind him, greeting his second sister and third brother whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

She casually brushed the slightly red nose of her younger sister, Lu Ling, who was being held in her mother's arms.

"Sixth brother, sixth brother." Lu Ling called out to Lu Yan in the tender voice unique to human cubs.

The second sister and third brother chuckled to themselves.

"Call me brother!" Lu Yan glared at her fiercely.

"Stop teasing her. You'll be the one to comfort her if she cries. This little crybaby." His mother, Zhang Cui, glared at him. "Your father's gone in. You'd better catch up."

"Alright, alright, I'll comfort this little crybaby later." With that, Lu Yan quickly followed after her.

Lu Daguan walked quickly, and by the time Lu Yan arrived at the study, he had already dismissed everyone else.

As soon as Lu Yan closed the study door, Lu Daguan pointed to the package on the desk.

The package had now been opened, revealing a large lump of clay inside.

"Tell me, what happened?" Lu Daguan asked Lu Yan impatiently.

"It's the burial simulation cultivation method." At this moment, Lu Yan naturally stopped keeping Lao Deng in suspense; if he kept Lao Deng in suspense any longer, he would have to pull out his belt.

As he spoke, Lu Yan waved his right hand at the large lump of clay.

Suddenly, five thin clay threads extended from his fingers, were flung in mid-air two or three meters away, and then plunged into the lump of clay.

Immediately, the clump of clay, as if alive, rushed rapidly towards Lu Yan's right hand along the five thin clay lines.

Before long, Lu Yan's right hand, including his upper arm, was covered with a huge clay glove.

The gloves even began to change rapidly, gradually becoming more angular and adorned with detailed decorations.

When Lu Yan walked to the chair by the desk and sat down, the huge clay glove already had the texture of leather.

Lu Daguan stared blankly at the visually striking scene, lost in thought.

After a long silence, Lu Daguan sighed, "Xiao Liu, your ability to manipulate clay has far surpassed mine."

The emotions in his voice were extremely complex, including shock, joy, and helplessness, which ultimately turned into a silent sigh.

Earlier, when he saw the sculpted head at the entrance of the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, Lu Daguan was already marveling at his son's ability to sculpt heads.

Once again on the bus, and now once more.

Lu Daguan had to admit that Lu Yan's ability to shape and manipulate objects far surpassed his own.

“Want to learn? I’ll teach you!” Lu Yan said, patting the huge clay glove on his right hand. “But let’s talk about this first.”

"What do you mean by the 'earth-entry mimicry cultivation method' you mentioned?" Lu Daguan frowned.

"Dad, you forgot, it's resonance and assimilation!" Lu Yan was speechless. This earth-entry mimicry cultivation method was something Lu Da Guan had researched himself, and he had already forgotten about it.

"You mean you resonated and assimilated, creating this lump of stuff?" Lu Daguan's eyes widened. The more he understood the Burial Mimicry Cultivation Method, the more incredible it seemed to him.

"How is this any different from our clay martial soul? No, it's even more outrageous than a martial soul, as it can be controlled without soul power!"

"And it lasted for such a long time, are you telling me this is a result of resonance assimilation?"

Lu Yan nodded: "Yes."

In fact, the appearance of this lump of clay was beyond his expectations; he had anticipated developing the "resonance and assimilation" ability.

Unexpectedly, before he could even develop it, he accidentally entered the "Advanced Martial Soul Mimicry Resonance State" and discovered that his resonance assimilation ability seemed to have undergone a special qualitative change.

The volume of the temporarily assimilated external clay has increased several times, and its duration has also been enhanced dramatically.

Because the assimilated external clay had not yet completely "deactivated," Lu Yan entered cultivation again, once again entering the "advanced martial soul mimicry resonance state."

Thus, the clay that had been assimilated from the outside world was assimilated again.

This process was repeated for two months, eventually creating a lump of "resonance clay" that could almost be called an "external martial soul".

It even has an advantage over Lu Yan's own martial soul, namely that this lump of resonant clay contains several times the amount of the same-origin soul power that Lu Yan currently possesses.

It can not only be used for control, but also as an external "blue bar" for Lu Yan to restore his soul power.

The soul power contained within was enough to fill Lu Yan's soul power limit at least three times; he didn't try to go any further.

He feared that once the soul power was depleted, the resonant clay would be ruined.

He also took the time to replenish all the soul power he had consumed.

After Lu Daguan listened to Lu Yan's description of the resonant clay...

He stood up in surprise and paced back and forth in the study. After a long while, he asked Lu Yan a question.

"Xiao Liu, can this resonant clay last forever?"

A soul power cap increase of more than three times, and an "external martial soul" that can be freely controlled—if it could exist permanently, its value would be immense.

No, even if it cannot exist forever, its merits outweigh its flaws, as long as it exists for a long enough time.

Moreover, judging from Lu Yan's words, this thing can be produced in an endless stream!

“It’s impossible for it to exist forever. I’ve estimated that if we don’t replenish its soul power, it will naturally run out of soul power in about a month.”

"However, there is no need to supplement it deliberately. Just resonate and assimilate with it during my normal cultivation."

"Not only will it not be consumed, but it will also continue to grow and increase in size."

This was the biggest unexpected surprise that the "Advanced Martial Soul Mimicry Resonance State" gave him!

Compared to this, the slight increase in cultivation speed is nothing.

"As it gets bigger and bigger in the future, it will be inconvenient to carry around."

Lu Yan pointed out the only drawback he could think of at the moment, but it wouldn't be a problem once he had a storage soul tool in the future.

"By the way, Dad, I also comprehended a soul power meditation method while in that 'advanced martial soul mimicry resonance state'. I think you can practice it."

Lu Yan then taught Lu Daguan the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Soul Power Cultivation Method, which was a reversal of cause and effect, but it also served as a convenient excuse.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't say it, Lu Daguan will never know the truth, even if Lu Daguan masters the "Advanced Martial Soul Mimicry Resonance State" in the future.

After sculpting a delicate human figure from clay, he taught Lu Daguan the method of cultivating the Lesser Heavenly Cycle of Soul Power.

Lu Yan also had Lu Daguan try linking his clay martial soul with the resonant clay to see if he could control it in the same way.

Unfortunately, it didn't work, and Lu Daguan's attempt revealed significant resistance, so some of Lu Yan's ideas had to be abandoned.

Lu Yan then discussed the issue of his soul power level increasing too quickly as a result.

The "Advanced Martial Soul Mimicry Resonance State" undoubtedly needs to be kept secret from the outside world, and this ability can be passed down as a family's most treasured secret.

Therefore, Lu Yan needs a reason to justify the growth of his soul power level.

After all, he couldn't possibly hold back his level from hunting for spirit rings. As long as his first spirit ring didn't cause any problems, it would be a huge qualitative leap in his strength and combat power.

Once he reaches level 10, he will immediately begin the Soul Hunting Operation.

Even before that, Lu Daguan had already been collecting information about the relevant soul beasts.

After discussing reasonable arrangements with Lu Daguan for a long time, just as things were about to end and Lu Yan was preparing to leave.

Lu Daguan called out to him.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a small box containing a ring from a hidden compartment in the study.

"Little Six, take this storage soul tool. Find a rope, string it together, and hang it around your neck. Be careful not to flaunt your wealth." Lu Daguan reluctantly stroked the ring a few times before finally handing it to Lu Yan.

The ring is entirely silver with an extremely delicate pattern, and is set with a pale blue crystal, making it even more eye-catching.
