Douluo Continent: The Five Elements Lock Martial Soul, Five Elements Divine Might Transformation

As he spoke, he pointed at Xiao Chenyu and the others, and sneered, "I can handle opponents of your caliber by myself. All fifteen of you can come at me together."

"If I lose, I don't need you guys to be my underlings. Just give me five gold soul coins every month to treat us work-study students to meals. How about it? Dare to fight?"

Five gold soul coins per month should be achievable for Xiao Chenyu given his family background, especially since he is also a soul master and can receive a subsidy from the Martial Soul Hall every month.

However, upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Wang Sheng, standing behind them, was particularly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Ling Yun, what are you saying? You want to deal with them all by yourself..."

"Don't worry, they're no match for me!"

Before Wang Sheng could finish speaking, Ling Yun interrupted him and then said to Xiao Chenyu, "Do you dare to fight or not? Give me a straight answer."

Of course, if you're scared, I can give you a chance to back out.

"That damn guy, he's even more arrogant than me!"

Xiao Chenyu was furious and said coldly, "Since you're so reckless, then come on! If you can defeat all fifteen of us, let alone five gold soul coins, what's wrong with giving you ten gold soul coins every month?"

"Hehe, you said it yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, Ling Yun had already gathered his soul power, released the Five Elemental Locks, and a bright yellow soul ring appeared beneath his feet.

"Ling Yun, Martial Soul Five Element Lock, Level 12 Control-type Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

"It's a hundred-year-old spirit ring!"

Xiao Chenyu was shocked. He never expected that Ling Yun would have a hundred-year soul ring. He knew that as the son of the city lord, his first soul ring was only a ten-year soul ring.

Not only Xiao Chenyu, but even Wang Sheng and the others were surprised when they saw Ling Yun's hundred-year soul ring, and then their expressions turned to wild joy.

With a century-old soul skill, Ling Yun might be able to defeat Xiao Chenyu and the others!

"A hundred-year-old spirit ring... No wonder you dared to challenge all of us. However, although the spirit skills of a hundred-year-old spirit ring are incredibly powerful, how many times can you use them with your current cultivation level? For a spirit master, spirit power is fundamental, and so is spirit possession!"

His martial soul was also a wolf, but its quality was far inferior to Director Su's Wind Wolf; it was merely a low-level martial soul.

As he released his martial spirit, his followers also released their martial spirits, surrounding Ling Yun completely.

"Don't say we're bullying you, we'll let you make the first move, okay?"

"Hey, thanks a lot then! Five Elements Power, transform!"

In an instant, the Five Elements Locks shone brightly, and wood-attribute soul power poured out, surging into Ling Yun's body like a raging river.

His body suddenly swelled up, eventually transforming into a tall ape that stood before Xiao Chenyu.

Wood-attribute beast-type warrior: Divine Wood Ape!

"What? It actually turned into a monkey? What kind of soul skill is this?"

Seeing Ling Yun transform into a divine wood ape, Xiao Chenyu's expression changed slightly. He was about to call for everyone to attack together, but Ling Yun wouldn't give him that chance!

"The power of the Wood Spirit!"

With a roar, thick green vines shot up from the ground and, in the blink of an eye, tightly bound Xiao Chenyu and the others.

For a moment, Xiao Chenyu and the others also experienced a suffocating feeling as if they were being coiled by a python.

"Oh no, they've been taken into custody."

"It can control all of us in an instant? Is this the soul skill born from a hundred-year soul ring?"

"Compared to my ten-year soul ring, it's like heaven and earth."

For a moment, Xiao Chenyu and the others were terrified, and some of the more timid children even wet their pants in fear.

Besides the group of people, Ling Yun also controlled the vines to wrap around a boulder. Then, with a slight exertion, the boulder suddenly shattered, sending countless fragments of rock flying everywhere.

Looking at the rock that had shattered into countless pieces, Xiao Chenyu's face was filled with terror, as if he could see himself being strangled to death by the vines. He was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Stop! Stop! Stop fighting! I give up! I give up!"

Seeing Xiao Chenyu admit defeat, Ling Yun's lips curled up. He had only intended to make an example of him. Then he looked at the others and smiled.

"Your leader has already admitted defeat, what about you?"

"Surrender, we surrender too..."

Xiao Chenyu had already conceded defeat, and his underlings had lost the will to continue fighting, surrendering one after another. The match ended in victory for the work-study students.

Chapter 6 Yu Xiaogang's Unwillingness

After the match, Ling Yun walked up to Xiao Chenyu and sneered, "You've already lost. So, according to the agreement, from now on, you'll give me ten gold soul coins every month. You won't go back on your word, right?"

In the end, Ling Yun even resorted to a threatening tone.

"Hmph, I, Xiao Chenyu, am not someone who can't accept defeat!"

After tossing Ling Yun ten gold soul coins, Xiao Chenyu and his underlings slunk away.

Immediately afterwards, the work-study students from Dormitory 7 all crowded around, looking at Ling Yun with admiring eyes.

"Ling Yun, no, Brother Yun, from now on you are my elder brother, Wang Sheng's elder brother!"

"Brother Yun, you were so cool just now! I thought we were going to lose for sure, but you defeated them in one move."

"You don't know, Xiao Chenyu's terrified look just now was hilarious. Some of the older students were even so scared they peed their pants. It was so funny, hahaha..."

"Hehe, I already told you, these small fry are no match for me."

As he spoke, Ling Yun put ten gold soul coins into his pocket, thinking to himself: If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Chenyu will give me ten gold soul coins every month in the future. With this money, I can at least buy a few pieces of century whale glue, right?

Thinking of this, Ling Yun chuckled and said, "Alright, now I'm considered a rich man. Let's go to the cafeteria, everyone. Order whatever you want, it's on me!"

"Yay! Long live Brother Lingyun!"

Upon hearing that Ling Yun was willing to treat everyone to a meal, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement. They were all work-study students who usually only ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables. Now that Ling Yun was willing to treat them, they all became his little fans.

The food in the cafeteria wasn't too expensive, and treating everyone to a meal only cost two gold soul coins, which was perfectly affordable for Ling Yun at his current level.

While eating, Xiao Wu munched on a carrot and said with a smile, "Ling Yun, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You defeated so many people in one move. I originally thought that only the two of us, both one-ring Soul Masters, could defeat them together."

"The venue was also chosen to be relatively good."

Ling Yun took a bite of the large chicken leg and continued, "My first soul skill allows me to control plants and fight in the forest, which allows me to unleash my full potential!"

After lunch, Ling Yun left Notting Academy and headed to the Martial Soul Hall in Notting City to register as a Soul Master.

Compared to the dilapidated wooden houses in Five Elements Village, the Martial Soul Palace in Notting City looks more magnificent and sacred.

Upon entering the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, Ling Yun saw an elderly man with white hair and thought to himself: This old man must be Master Matthew.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun walked up to him and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I would like to register as a Soul Master."

Looking at Ling Yun, who was only as tall as his thigh, Matthew frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "Oh? Little friend, you're already a Soul Master? Really? You're not joking with me, are you?"

"How could I joke about something like this with you?" Before he finished speaking, Ling Yun released his martial spirit, and a bright yellow spirit ring floated at his feet.

"A hundred-year-old soul ring?"

Matthew was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Now that you have obtained a spirit ring, you can naturally become a spirit master. Give me your spirit proof."

"no problem."

Ling Yun took out his martial soul certificate, and only after seeing that he had innate full soul power did Matthew nod slightly.

"So he was born with full soul power. No wonder he became a soul master at such a young age."

After helping Ling Yun register, Matthew handed Ling Yun a gold soul coin and said with a smile, "Here, take this, little friend. This is a subsidy from the Spirit Hall."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Ling Yun smiled and accepted the gold soul coins; he was short of money right now.

Then Matthew added, "By the way, little friend, would you like to join the Spirit Hall? If you join the Spirit Hall, Grandpa guarantees you can become a powerful Soul Master."

"Thank you for the invitation, Grandpa, but I'm already studying at Notting Academy. I'll talk about joining the Spirit Hall after I graduate, and I also need to discuss it with my family."

Ling Yun politely declined, knowing full well that the current Pope Bibi Dong was a tigress and a madwoman, and joining the Spirit Hall at this time would make it difficult to guarantee that Bibi Dong wouldn't target him.

He did not want to appear in Bibi Dong's sight until he had the ability to protect himself.

Seeing that Ling Yun refused, Matthew was not discouraged. He simply nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Then I wish you a speedy journey to becoming a powerful Soul Master."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

After saying goodbye to Matthew, Ling Yun returned to Notting Academy to prepare for class. The afternoon class was a theory class, in which the teacher would explain the attributes, characteristics, possible soul skills, and how to determine the age of a soul beast.

Ling Yun listened attentively, while also choosing a suitable spirit beast for his second spirit ring.

After school in the afternoon, Ling Yun unexpectedly ran into Director Su. He immediately went to the cafeteria with Director Su for lunch, and Ling Yun offered to pay the bill, as a way of thanking Director Su for helping him obtain his first spirit ring.

While eating, Ling Yun saw two familiar figures, none other than Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, who had already returned from the Soul Hunter Forest.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang clutching his chest and staggering along with Tang San's support, Ling Yun thought to himself: Yu Xiaogang is injured? Does that mean they encountered the Mandragora Snake?

Ling Yun thought with some regret that he had been wondering what kind of soul skill Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would develop if he absorbed the Ten-Year Lonely Bamboo.

If it were a blue-silver pole vault, that would be so much fun.

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang also noticed Ling Yun, who was eating with Director Su. After buying a lunch, he immediately limped over.

He hasn't given up yet and wants to continue trying to trick Lingyun into becoming his disciple.

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang arrive, Director Su greeted him politely, "Master, are you injured? Are you alright?"

"It's alright. This time we encountered a four-hundred-year-old datura snake and accidentally inhaled the beast's poisonous mist."

Yu Xiaogang omitted the fact that he had almost been bitten to death by the Mandragora Snake, turned to Ling Yun, and asked, "Director Su, what kind of soul beast did you choose for this child?"

"Hehe, we encountered a Green Vine with four hundred years of cultivation. After absorbing its spirit ring, this kid got a pretty powerful spirit skill."

"Greenwood Vine? A spirit ring from a plant-based spirit beast?"

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, then shook his head in disappointment.

"Sigh, you've got it wrong! This child's martial soul is a metal bracelet, so he shouldn't be absorbing the soul ring of a plant-based spirit beast."

If it were me, I would choose a hundred-year-old metal-attribute soul beast as his first soul ring.

Yu Xiaogang's tone carried a hint of pity as he extended the invitation once more.

"Child, although you chose the wrong first spirit ring, it's not a big deal. I will choose a more suitable spirit ring for you, as long as you agree to become my disciple, how about it?"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Master, but it's not necessary!"

Ling Yun flatly refused, and then rubbed salt into Yu Xiaogang's wounds.

"I'll say it again: wait until you become a powerful Soul Master yourself before you guide me. There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. You said that, Master, and..."
