Chapter 20: Mysterious Fruit Tree and Golden-Red Fruit! An unexpected surprise!
Looking at the Wind-Thunder Winged Dragon Bat cub, Lu Yu's eyes condensed slightly.
This cub's body had already become highly dragonized — it must have eaten more fruits than the adult Wind-Thunder Winged Dragon Bat!
Only one step away, this cub would have completed its final transformation, sublimated its bloodline, and become a real baby dragon!
Even if it was only the lowest-ranking member of the dragon clan, once it matured, it would become an overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest!
At this time, the Wind-Thunder Winged Dragon Bat cub was rushing at Lu Yu with fangs and claws. As its wings flapped, bursts of wind and thunder resounded, and a blue-purple light swept forth.
Lu Yu raised his hand and summoned the Heaven-Flipping Seal, smashing it forward without any flourish!
"Bang!"
The Heaven-Flipping Seal struck the cub's head. Just as Lu Yu was about to follow up, he froze in place.
Because the Wind-Thunder Winged Dragon Bat cub's head instantly exploded upon impact. Blood and brains splattered everywhere!
Looking at the purple soul ring that slowly rose, Lu Yu was momentarily dazed.
After a brief silence, he finally reacted.
In prehistoric novels, the Heaven-Flipping Seal was a "head-exploding artifact"!
He had actually forgotten that feature!
The casual strike just now shouldn't have been strong enough to kill a thousand-year-old soul beast — let alone one with such rich dragon blood.
Lu Yu estimated that the blow, since it had struck the head, had been at least five times more powerful!
While feeling surprised, Lu Yu stepped forward, pulled the last fruit from the tree, and placed it into his soul guide ring.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a flash of light from the Wind-Thunder Winged Dragon Bat cub's wings.
Lu Yu's pupils shrank slightly. He had seen this scene before!
Back in the Soul Hunting Forest, after killing the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, he had caught the same light — which had led him to obtain an external soul bone!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu's heartbeat quickened!
He rushed forward, took out a dagger from the soul guide ring, and quickly dissected the cub.
Moments later, a crystal-clear bone rested in his hand, a purple-green glow flowing through it.
"It's really an external soul bone! Looks like a rib!"
Lu Yu's Adam's apple bobbed. He stowed the soul bone and rushed out of the cave, fleeing in a specific direction.
He ran for nearly an hour before he stopped.
It wasn't due to exhaustion — he had sensed soul power fluctuations not far ahead!
Lu Yu cautiously crept closer to investigate.
"Puff…"
He saw a beautiful figure fly out of a clearing in the forest. Blood sprayed from her mouth, and her face was pale as paper.
She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Wearing a fitted outfit, with a curvy figure, she was very beautiful. Her large dark-brown eyes and dark-purple short hair gave her a sharp yet graceful look.
In her hand was a snake-headed cane, and two yellow soul rings floated around her.
"Is that... Meng Yiran?"
Recognizing the cane, Lu Yu immediately identified her.
It was the same martial spirit as Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang — just shorter than her three-meter cane.
Lu Yu guessed that the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple must have feared for their granddaughter's safety while fighting Dugu Bo, so they had sent Meng Yiran away in advance.
But Meng Yiran, being only a second-ring spirit master, was still vulnerable in the outer depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
She was now battling a wolf-like soul beast with a cultivation of over two thousand years. Although she had experience and could use hidden weapons, she was still being pushed back.
"I obtained this opportunity thanks to the Peerless Dragon and Snake, so I'll save her life…"
Lu Yu was in a great mood and didn't hesitate.
He rushed out.
As he neared the wolf-like soul beast, Lu Yu leapt high into the air.
The Heaven-Flipping Seal appeared in his palm, swelling in the wind into a massive, one-meter square seal.
Without using any soul ring, thunder technique, or Golden Light Curse, Lu Yu directly smashed the Heaven-Flipping Seal down!
His speed was lightning fast — the wolf-like soul beast didn't even have time to react before it was struck in the head.
"Bang!"
The soul beast's skull burst open like a watermelon.
Lu Yu landed calmly as his martial spirit dissipated.
Meng Yiran was frozen in place, eyes wide with disbelief.
Although Lu Yu was only eleven, he had developed quickly — tall and lean, looking more like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old.
His previously delicate features had fully matured, and now his handsome appearance made him look like an exiled immortal.
Lu Yu smiled at her and said,
"Girl, wolf-type soul beasts usually travel in packs. You'd better run quickly! When its companions arrive, it'll be too late!"
After speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation.
He had just obtained an external soul bone and a mysterious fruit, and all he wanted now was to refine them quickly.
One bird in hand is worth more than ten in the forest.
A treasure that's not used is just a waste — turning it into his own strength was the true opportunity!
Meng Yiran didn't react until Lu Yu had already vanished into the forest.
Just as she was about to chase after him, a strange rustling noise came from another side of the forest.
Then, the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple appeared, looking grim.
"Grandpa! Grandma!" Meng Yiran called out.
Meng Shu glanced at her, then at the corpse of the soul beast nearby. He gave a soft exclamation, his expression easing somewhat. He smiled and said:
"Yiran! Well done! Killing a 2,600-year-old soul beast with just two rings — even with hidden weapons — is no small feat!"
Meng Yiran's pretty face flushed, and she waved her hands quickly, explaining what had really happened.
Hearing her words, the couple exchanged glances, a flicker of shock in their eyes.
A boy about the same age as their granddaughter, who didn't even use a soul ring, had blown up a soul beast's head in one hit?
What kind of genius was this?
---
Night fell, atop a towering tree.
Lu Yu, sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. A blue-purple light flashed within them.
With a thought, Lu Yu felt a tearing pain in his back — until finally, with a hiss, a pair of wide wings extended from his back!
They were dragon wings!
One wing blue, one purple, glowing with halos. The wingspan stretched nearly three meters.
When he flapped them:
The blue left wing conjured fierce wind, tearing through trees.
The purple right wing sparked with thunder, radiating immense power.
With one powerful flap, Lu Yu soared into the sky, leaving a blue-purple arc trailing behind him — in the blink of an eye, he had risen a hundred meters!
"So fast!"
A flicker of astonishment passed through Lu Yu's eyes.
Then a smile curved on his lips. His eyes sharpened, and soul power surged within him, channeling into the wings.
The blue-purple light intensified. Wind howled, thunder roared.
Then — the wings snapped forward, unleashing a blue-purple Wind-Thunder Tornado!
