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

The students in the distance saw this scene and cast jealous eyes. They were attracted by Lu Yu's aura before and almost ignored the existence of Luo Shen. But now it seems that Luo Shen is also a rare genius.

"Shen Luo, choose me! I am the most experienced staff instructor in the academy, and I will definitely help you make greater progress in your practice!" An instructor in a gorgeous robe said eagerly, his soul ring flickering, revealing his powerful strength.

"No, Luo Shen, you should choose me! My martial soul is most compatible with yours, and I can teach you how to better realize your potential!" Another mentor was not to be outdone. He waved the staff in his hand to show off his cultivation.

Luo Shen looked at these mentors vying for her and felt helpless. She knew that her strength was far from enough and she needed a mentor who could really help her grow. But how should she choose?
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded beside Luo Shen's ears. "Luo Shen, don't be anxious, take your time to choose. Choosing a mentor is a very important thing, you need to find a mentor who is really suitable for you."

Luo Shen turned her head and saw Lu Yu standing not far away, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes. She felt warm in her heart, as if she had found someone to rely on. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Thank you all for your kindness, but I still need some time to think about it." Luo Shen said politely. Although her voice was soft, it revealed a firmness.

The instructors all looked disappointed when they heard this. But they also knew that choosing an instructor was a very important matter and could not be forced. So, they all restrained their breath and waited for Luo Shen's decision.

The atmosphere in the courtyard returned to calm again. The students began to discuss, and they were curious and admired Luo Shen's strength and attitude. They knew that although Luo Shen was not as amazing as Lu Yu, she was also a genius worthy of respect.

Luo Shen stood in the middle of the courtyard, feeling the gazes and discussions from all around. She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She knew that she needed to find a mentor who was truly suitable for her in order to go further on this path of cultivation.

So, she began to observe each mentor carefully, trying to find the one who could really help her. She looked at the mentors' eyes, temperament and cultivation, and silently compared and evaluated them in her heart.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the courtyard became increasingly tense. The students held their breath, waiting for Luoshen's decision. The instructors showed off their own strengths and characteristics, trying to attract Luoshen's attention.

Finally, after careful consideration, Luo Shen slowly spoke. "I have decided to choose..." Although her voice was soft, it was clearly heard throughout the courtyard.

The students cast curious glances at him, while the instructors pricked up their ears, waiting for Luo Shen's answer. They knew that the decision at this moment would determine Luo Shen's future path of cultivation.

"...I choose the very old mentor." Luo Shen's voice sounded again, and her finger gently pointed at the old mentor who stood up and asked her questions at the beginning.

There was an uproar in the courtyard. The students started talking about it. They were surprised and curious about Luo Shen's choice. The teachers showed complicated expressions, some disappointed, some surprised, and some admired.

Lu Yu stood aside, watching this scene, and felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart. He knew that Luo Shen had made a wise choice. In the courtyard, the sun shone on the bluestone slabs. As Luo Shen's words fell, an uproar suddenly arose. The students whispered to each other, talking a lot, their eyes wandering back and forth between Luo Shen and the old teacher, full of surprise and confusion.

"Shen Luo, you actually chose... him?" A mentor with a staff martial spirit asked in disbelief, his spirit ring flickering inadvertently, revealing his inner fluctuations.

Luo Shen smiled slightly, her eyes were firm and clear, as if she had made the most thorough preparations. "Yes, I chose him." She said softly, her finger still gently pointing at the old mentor.

The old mentor himself seemed a little surprised. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Shen with a sharp gaze, then slowly said: "Luo Shen, are you sure of your choice? I am not one of those young, strong and energetic mentors."

"I am sure of my choice." Luo Shen said firmly, "I know who you are. You are an old Titled Douluo at level 97, and your martial spirit is also a staff. In Tiandou Royal Academy, you are a veteran. I believe that you can be my best mentor."

The atmosphere in the courtyard became heated again, and the students cast admiring glances at him. Although they were surprised at Luo Shen's choice, they had to admit that Luo Shen's vision was indeed unique.

The instructors who possessed staff spirits looked at each other in bewilderment. They originally thought they had the greatest advantage, but they did not expect that Luo Shen would actually see through the old instructor's true strength. They could not help but secretly admire him, but at the same time they were also a little disappointed.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Luo Shen, your vision is indeed unique. However, you must know that I haven't accepted a disciple for several years. If I accept you as a disciple this time, it means that you will inherit my legacy. Unless you are extremely outstanding, I will not easily accept you as a disciple."

Luo Shen's heart tightened when she heard this. She knew that this was a rare opportunity and also a huge challenge. She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and then said, "I am willing to accept your test. I believe that I have the ability to become your apprentice."

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen's determined eyes and couldn't help but waver in his heart. He was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Okay, then I will give you a chance. But you must pass my test. If you fail, it means you are not good enough, and I will not accept you as my disciple."

Luo Shen nodded to show her acceptance. She knew that this was a test that would affect her future, and she had to give it her all.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He waved the staff in his hand, and a bright light suddenly burst out from the staff, illuminating the entire courtyard like daylight.

"Shen Luo, my test is very simple. You just need to hold on in this light for one minute, without being confused by the light, and without being swallowed by the light. Then you will pass the test." said the old mentor.

Luo Shen was shocked when she heard this. She knew that this light seemed simple, but in fact it contained great power. She had to concentrate and go all out to pass the test. She took a deep breath, then slowly closed her eyes and began to feel the fluctuations of the light. Her mind gradually sank into it, as if she had merged with the light.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more and more tense. The students held their breath and watched the battle between Luoshen and the light. The instructors all showed solemn expressions, knowing that this test was not easy.

Finally, a minute passed. When the light gradually dissipated, Luo Shen still stood firmly in the same place, her eyes were clear and firm, as if she had just experienced a baptism.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Luo Shen slowly opened her eyes and began to carefully observe every detail in the illusion.

She noticed that although the scenes in the illusion were ever-changing, there were always some subtle details that revealed a sense of unreality, such as the interweaving of light and shadow, and the matching of colors.

Luo Shen used his soul power to sense the surrounding space and discovered that there was a powerful soul power fluctuation in the illusion. This fluctuation was the key to maintaining the existence of the illusion.

She understood that in order to break the illusion, she had to find the source of this soul power and destroy it.

Luo Shen followed the direction of the soul power fluctuations, passed through the fog and illusions, and finally came to a seemingly ordinary but extremely critical node. This is the gathering point of the illusion soul power and the hiding place of the creator.

Facing the enemy who created the illusion, Luo Shen was not in a hurry to attack. She knew very well that the reason why the illusion was difficult to break was largely because the creator could control everything in it.

In the courtyard, the light faded away and everything returned to calm. Luoshen opened her eyes, with a determined look in them, as if she had just experienced a spiritual baptism. The old mentor was surprised beyond words. He leaned forward slightly, tapped the ground with his staff, and asked inquiringly: "Luoshen, how did you break free from my illusion in such a short time? This illusion is difficult to break even for many senior students."

Luo Shen smiled slightly, with a hint of indifference and confidence in her smile:

"In the illusion, I experienced countless times of getting lost and finding myself again. Every attempt gave me a deeper understanding of the illusion. I began to try to touch the boundaries of the illusion with my own will, imagining myself as a god, above all illusions. At that moment, I felt a wonderful resonance, as if a subtle connection had been established between me and the illusion. I tried to use my will to guide the energy in the illusion and let it flow according to my wishes."

"At first, the illusion seemed to resist my will. Those bizarre scenes became more intense, trying to swallow me up. But I didn't give up. Instead, I focused my mind more firmly, condensing my will into an invisible force that slowly penetrated into every corner of the illusion. Gradually, I found that the illusion began to tremble slightly. Those originally indestructible illusions began to become fragile under my will."

"Just before the illusion was about to collapse, I felt an unprecedented force surging in my body. It was an awakening from the depths of my soul, a complete release of my potential. I used this power and struggled hard, and the illusion was like fragile glass, instantly shattering into countless pieces and disappearing into the air."

"Later, I tried to imagine myself as a god, imagining that no illusion could trap me."

The old mentor's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this. He nodded, as if he was quite satisfied with Luo Shen's answer: "Your mental strength is indeed beyond my expectations. You can stay awake in the illusion and even use your own will to influence the illusion. This ability is rare among the younger generation."

After hearing this, the surrounding mentors showed expressions of surprise and admiration. Among them, there were many strong people who had a deep understanding of illusions, and they could naturally understand the difficulty and wisdom of the method that Luoshen said. A middle-aged mentor couldn't help but sighed: "The young are really formidable. If we had this mind and courage back then, perhaps we could have achieved different results."

The students were talking about it, they were curious and envious of Luo Shen's strength and wisdom. Some students even approached quietly, trying to catch more secrets about the illusion from Luo Shen's expression. Luo Shen felt the gazes around her, and just smiled faintly without saying much.

The old mentor looked at Luo Shen, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes. He slowly said: "Luo Shen, I am very satisfied with your performance. However, to become my apprentice, it is not enough to just pass this level. You still need to prove your strength and potential."

Luo Shen's expression froze when she heard this. She knew that the real test had just begun. She straightened her back and looked at the old mentor with a firm gaze: "I am willing to accept any test, as long as it can prove that I am qualified to be your apprentice."

The old mentor nodded, waved his staff, and a brilliant light burst out from the staff again, but this time the light was completely different from the previous illusion. There was a strange fluctuation in the light, as if it could touch the depths of a person's soul.

"This time, I want to test your ability to control your martial soul and soul power. You need to merge your martial soul with my light in this light to form a new light. If you can do it, it proves that you have excellent martial soul control ability and soul power cultivation." said the old mentor.

Luo Shen's heart tightened when she heard this. She knew that this test was much more difficult than before. However, she did not retreat, but took a deep breath and began to concentrate her martial spirit and soul power. She slowly raised her hands, and a light blue light overflowed from her palms, intertwining with the light of the old mentor.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more and more tense. The students held their breath and watched the light contest between Luoshen and the old mentor.

This scene made everyone nervous, and the atmosphere in the courtyard seemed to freeze. One instructor couldn't help but explain in a low voice: "The old instructor has reached an extremely fine level of control over his soul power. The soul power he releases contains countless tiny soul power threads that are as thin as a hair. These soul power threads are intertwined to form such a unique and complex light pattern. If Luo Shen wants to successfully connect with the old instructor's soul power, he must also control such fine soul power threads. The difficulty can be imagined."

After hearing this explanation, the courtyard immediately started to discuss. One student exclaimed: "How is this possible? Controlling soul power to such a fine degree is just like carving a piece of art!" Another student shook his head and said: "It's too difficult. I'm afraid even seniors can't do this level of control." (End of this chapter)
