Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

"We can't let it succeed!" Luo Shen shouted, and her body shot up instantly, rushing towards the soul beast like an arrow. She quickly formed seals with both hands, and the soul power surged around her body, preparing to perform a secret technique that could seal the soul power.

However, the speed of the soul beast's self-destruction was beyond imagination, and the soul power fluctuations in its body became stronger and stronger, like a bomb about to explode. Luo Shen knew that he had to speed up, otherwise he would not be able to prevent this disaster.

"Soul Seal!" Luo Shen shouted, and pushed out her hands suddenly. A complex soul power seal condensed in her palms. This seal contained a powerful sealing force, enough to temporarily seal the soul power fluctuations in the soul beast.

At the moment when the soul beast was about to explode, Luoshen slammed the soul seal on the soul beast's forehead. As the seal merged, the soul power fluctuations in the soul beast's body instantly weakened, and the destructive force that was about to explode was slowly sealed.

"Roar—" The soul beast roared unwillingly, but its self-destruction was finally stopped by Luo Shen. Its body gradually lost its vitality and eventually turned into a pool of meat paste, completely losing its threat.

Luo Shen stood there, panting as she watched the scene in front of her, feeling both relieved and scared. She knew that if she hadn't acted in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. At the same time, she also realized that her calmness and decisiveness in the face of desperation were an important manifestation of her continuous growth in battle.

"You did a great job, Luo Shen." Lu Yu walked to Luo Shen and said approvingly.

Luo Shen looked at the soul beast corpse that was gradually losing its vitality. The tension and fear in her heart were gradually replaced by an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. She turned to look at Lu Yu, with a questioning light in her eyes: "Teacher Lu Yu, what should we do next?"

Lu Yu smiled slightly, walked forward, glanced at the soul beast corpses, and said slowly: "First, we need to deal with the corpses of these soul beasts. The armored rhinoceros and this tiger soul beast are both rare sources of materials. Their scales, bones and even some internal organs are all valuable materials for making equipment and potions."

As he spoke, Lu Yu took out a small and sharp dagger from his soul guide, squatted down and began to work on the armored rhinoceros. While cutting the scales skillfully, he explained: "The scales of the armored rhinoceros are extremely hard. After special treatment, they can be embedded in the armor, greatly increasing its defense."

Seeing this, Luo Shen also excitedly joined the work of dealing with the soul beast. She picked up another knife and carefully peeled off the fur of the tiger soul beast. "This fur looks shiny and smooth, and it is perfect for the lining of soft armor." She said to Lu Yu excitedly.

The two of them worked together in tacit understanding. After a while, the scales of the armored rhinoceros, the fur of the tiger, and some useful internal organs were neatly collected. Luo Shen wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "I didn't expect that dealing with soul beasts is also a physical job."

Lu Yu smiled and nodded, "That's true, but this is also part of the training. Behind every piece of equipment and every bottle of potion, there is the hard work and effort of the maker."

After dealing with the soul beast corpse, Lu Yu brought Luo Shen to an open space, spread out a huge piece of cloth, and neatly arranged the collected materials one by one. "Now, let's talk about the use of these materials." Lu Yu pointed at the materials on the ground and said, "The scales of the armored rhinoceros can be used to make the outer shell of the armor, and the fur of the tiger can be used as the lining. As for these internal organs, we can try to extract the essence from them and use them to make enhancement potions."

Luo Shen listened attentively, nodding her head from time to time to show her agreement. "What about these spirit rings?" She pointed at the two shining spirit rings left by the spirit beast and asked, "What are they used for?"

Lu Yu explained: "Soul rings are the essence left behind after a soul beast dies. They contain the power and skills of the soul beast when it was alive. For soul masters, absorbing soul rings is an important way to improve their strength. These two thousand-year-old soul rings are priceless. They can not only enhance your soul power, but may also give you new soul skills."

Luo Shen's eyes lit up, "Then can we sell them in exchange for some materials to make equipment?"

Lu Yu nodded approvingly, "That's a good idea. However, before selling it, I suggest you learn about the market conditions to ensure that you can get the most benefit."

Luo Shen immediately perked up, "Then let's go to the city now! I can't wait to see how much these spirit rings can be sold for."

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, we still need to make some simple samples and show them to the buyers, so that it will be easier to negotiate a deal."

So, the two returned to the training base and began to prepare a list of materials for making soft armor. Lu Yu took out a pen and paper and wrote down the required materials while thinking: "We need refined molten iron, flexible silk thread, strengthening potions and some special adhesives..."

Luo Shen looked at the list carefully and offered his own opinions from time to time: "I think we can also add some magic runes to increase the magic resistance of the soft armor."

Lu Yu's eyes lit up, "Good idea! Magic runes can indeed greatly improve the defensive performance of equipment. Then let's prepare the materials according to this list."

In the next few days, Luo Shen and Lu Yu rushed between various markets and workshops, carefully selecting every material needed to make soft armor. With Luo Shen's keen intuition and Lu Yu's rich experience, they could always find the most cost-effective option.

Finally, after everything was ready, the two returned to the training base and began to make soft armor. Luo Shen personally inlaid the scales of the iron-armored rhinoceros piece by piece on the outer shell of the armor, and each piece was carefully polished and arranged to ensure that it was both beautiful and practical. Lu Yu was responsible for cutting the tiger fur into a suitable shape, carefully sewing it on the lining with flexible silk thread, and embedding magic runes to enhance defense.

During the production process, the two exchanged ideas and corrected each other from time to time, creating a tense yet harmonious atmosphere. Whenever they encountered a problem, they were always able to find a solution through wisdom and teamwork.

After several days of hard work, a set of exquisite soft armor finally appeared in front of them. Its surface shone with a faint luster, and it was both tough and light; the lining was soft and comfortable, like a second layer of skin. Luo Shen excitedly put on the soft armor, feeling the sense of security and strength it brought, and her heart was filled with pride and gratitude.

"This is more than just a piece of equipment," Luo Shen said to Lu Yu, "it is the result of our joint efforts and a testimony to our friendship."

Lu Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, there is a story behind every piece of equipment. Now, let's take this set of soft armor to the market and see what kind of surprises it can bring us."

"Teacher Lu Yu, where should we find the materials after we get to the city?" Luo Shen looked at the gradually clear city outline in the distance, feeling both excited and nervous. Lu Yu smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence. "There are many material shops in the city, each with its own merits. However, in my opinion, there are two places that are particularly worth visiting." He paused and continued to explain, "First, there is the material shop opened by Tiandou Royal Academy. Not only are the prices there fair, but more importantly, they have many rare materials that are hard to find on the market, and they support exchange with credits or contribution points. This is a rare and good place for young soul masters like you."

When Luo Shen heard this, a trace of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes. "Tian Dou Royal Academy? That's really a desirable place. If we can find the materials we need there, we can also get to know the academy by the way, which is really killing two birds with one stone."

Lu Yu nodded in agreement, "Indeed. However, there is another place that cannot be ignored, and that is the material shop opened by the City Lord's Mansion. The variety of materials there is also rich, but the prices are often higher, and the inventory may not be as sufficient as that of Tiandou Royal Academy. But for buyers who pursue high quality and don't mind spending, it is also a good choice."

Luo Shen lowered his head and thought for a moment, his eyes wandering between the two. "Teacher Lu Yu, where do you think we should go?"

Lu Yu smiled and gave the choice to Luo Shen. "It depends on your needs and budget. If you want to get as many and good materials as possible at the most reasonable price, then the material shop of Tiandou Royal Academy is the first choice; if you have higher requirements for the quality of the materials and don't mind spending more gold coins, then the material shop of the City Lord's Mansion is also a good choice."

After Luo Shen pondered for a moment, his eyes became firm. "I think we should go to the material shop of Tiandou Royal Academy first. After all, what we need most at the moment is cost-effective materials, and I also want to take this opportunity to learn more about the academy and prepare for possible enrollment in the future."

Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you have foresight. Then we will go straight to Tiandou Royal Academy."

As the two quickened their pace, the outline of the city became clearer. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of shops, and the hawking sounds were one after another, making it very lively. Luo Shen looked around curiously, feeling fresh about everything in this city.

"Look, that's the landmark building of Tiandou Royal Academy - the Tower of Wisdom." Lu Yu pointed to a towering tower in the distance and said, "The academy's material shop is nearby, let's go."

Luo Shen looked in the direction of Lu Yu's finger and saw the tower shining in the sun, like a bridge leading to the palace of knowledge. She couldn't help but feel a surge of yearning in her heart, and her pace quickened accordingly.

Soon after, the two arrived at the material shop of Tiandou Royal Academy. Although the shop was not ostentatious, it exuded a calm and elegant atmosphere. Walking into the shop, a faint herbal fragrance hit my nose. Various materials were neatly placed on the shelves: from precious ores to rare herbs, from exotic animal bones to exquisite rune scrolls, everything was available.

"Welcome." A young clerk in a college uniform greeted us with a smile, "How can I help you?"

Luo Shen handed the list to the clerk and briefly explained the purpose of the visit. The clerk took the list and looked at it carefully, then nodded with a smile, "We have all the materials you need. However, some of them are relatively rare and require you to exchange them with credits or contribution points to the academy."

Hearing this, Luo Shen secretly rejoiced at her choice. She turned to look at Lu Yu, who was smiling and encouraging her to go forward and negotiate with the clerk. So she mustered up her courage and began to discuss the exchange with the clerk.

After some bargaining and careful selection, Luo Shen finally gathered all the materials needed to make soft armor. She held the heavy package in her hands, feeling a sense of accomplishment and joy in her heart. Lu Yu nodded silently to the side, praising her performance.

"Thank you so much." Luo Shen thanked the clerk and turned to leave, "We will come again next time."

The clerk smiled and nodded as he bid the two farewell. "We look forward to seeing you again. If you have any questions about the academy or need further assistance, please feel free to let us know."

Walking out of the material shop of Tiandou Royal Academy, Luo Shen hugged the fully loaded package tightly, her face filled with unconcealable joy and satisfaction. She stopped and carefully counted the materials in her hands. Each one was as precious as a treasure, carrying her infinite vision for the future.

"Teacher Lu Yu, all the materials are ready. What should we do next?" Luo Shen looked up at Lu Yu, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Lu Yu smiled and touched his chin, then slowly said, "Next, we need to process these materials into the equipment you want. This is not just a simple production process, but also a comprehensive test of material properties, craftsmanship and design concepts."

When Luo Shen heard this, a mixture of excitement and nervousness flashed in his eyes. "Then...what should we do?"

"First, we need a furnace to melt the metal, as well as various other professional tools to polish and carve these materials." Lu Yu explained, "However, these tools and equipment are not easy to find. Fortunately, Tiandou Royal Academy has a first-class forging department. They are not only well-equipped, but also the craftsmen are superbly skilled and can ensure the quality of each piece of equipment."

Luo Shen's eyes lit up, "Then can we give these materials to them to make?"

"Of course." Lu Yu nodded in agreement, "Moreover, with their help, the quality of your equipment will be greatly improved."

Luo Shen made the decision without hesitation, "That's settled! Let's go to the Academy's forging department now!"

The two of them set out on a journey to the academy again, and this time, their destination was the academy's forging department. Along the way, Luo Shen kept asking about the details of equipment production, and Lu Yu patiently answered them one by one. The conversation between the two was full of curiosity about the unknown and passion for exploration.

Soon after, they arrived at the forging department of the academy. This place was completely different from the material shop. The air was filled with the smell of hot metal and a faint smell of engine oil. Busy figures of craftsmen shuttled back and forth in the huge workshop. The sound of hammers hitting metals came one after another, forming an exciting hymn of labor.

An experienced craftsman came forward and took a sharp look at the materials in Luo Shen's hand, then showed an approving look. "These materials are good. It seems you have good taste." (End of this chapter)
