Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 100 One Against Seven, the Advantage Lies With Me

"Don't rush." ​​Yu Xiaogang said calmly and slowly, "This time you will enter the simulated universe and choose the team challenge mode. Flander and I will be watching. If you don't perform well, you will have to double your training after you come out."

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned deathly pale.

The intensity of their daily training is already enough to make them complain endlessly; they simply can't imagine what it would be like if it were doubled.

The thought of the even more brutal training ignited a fierce fighting spirit in Tang San and his companions. No matter how difficult the challenge mode in the simulated universe was, they absolutely could not lose.

Soon, under Ning Rongrong's guidance, everyone put on blindfold-type soul tools.

The soul-guided device adhered to the face, emitting a slight coolness.

As a slight dizziness washed over them, their consciousness gradually blurred, and they successfully entered the simulated universe.

Yu Xiaogang and Flander also took out their login devices and put them on; these were all generously sponsored by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This shows how much Ning Fengzhi went to for Ning Rongrong.

After all, the number of simulated universe login devices is limited, and the Spirit Hall is collecting them extensively, so the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can only snatch a very small number.

The team challenge mode chosen by the Shrek Seven Devils will gradually increase in difficulty from the lowest level. You will receive rewards for clearing the levels, and the rewards will become more generous and tempting as you progress.

The Shrek Seven Devils, as the young talents of this era, how could they have entered Shrek Academy, a bizarre academy that only accepts monsters, if they didn't have some skills?

The first few levels were not difficult for them.

From the initial encounter with a thousand-year-old soul beast to a seven-person soul master team of the same level, they relied on teamwork and outstanding strength to overcome all obstacles, easily defeat their opponents, and successfully obtain the completion rewards.

Although the reward wasn't particularly generous, Tang San still keenly sensed the changes within himself.

Whether it's mental strength, physical fitness, or soul power, everything is quietly improving, like parched land receiving sweet rain, every inch of it is absorbing nutrients.

Although you can challenge a level that you have already cleared, you will only receive one reward.

This rule completely eliminated everyone's desire to farm rewards, leaving them with no choice but to focus on more difficult levels.

Feeling that both the Purple Demon Eye and the Mysterious Heaven Skill had improved, Tang San was very much looking forward to the rewards for the subsequent levels.

Soon, the blue lights gathered again like fireflies.

Tang San and the others understood that this was a signal that a new opponent was about to appear, since all their previous opponents had made their debut in the same way.

"Huh! Why is there only one?" Xiao Wu's bright eyes were full of doubt. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the gradually appearing figure.

"Everyone be careful, something's definitely up." Tang San frowned slightly, his eyes instantly turning serious.

As someone from an assassin sect, he knew better than anyone that behind the seemingly illogical often lurked deadly dangers.

“The mistress is right. Everyone, cheer up, Xiao Ao, Rongrong.” Dai Mubai’s expression was solemn, and his voice was low.

At the same time, his tall and strong body stood firmly at the very front of everyone. As the strongest offensive-type Soul Master in the team, he should rightfully stand at the front.

"I have a big sausage, I have a small sausage, I have a mushroom sausage." Oscar reacted quickly, releasing his soul skill immediately.

As he uttered that unique and amusing incantation, he moved his hands rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, several large restorative sausages, small detoxifying sausages, and flying mushroom sausages appeared in his hands. He quickly handed them to his teammates with practiced ease.

"Seven treasures emerge from the glazed tile, firstly, power, secondly, speed." A magnificent and dazzling glazed tile pagoda slowly rose from Ning Rongrong's right palm, with two yellow soul rings shining brightly.

She multitasked, simultaneously unleashing amplifying soul skills on Dai Mubai and Tang San, her main combat teammates, providing them with powerful strength and speed boosts.

Although they won the previous round, it wasn't easy. So when only one person appeared in this round, they didn't let their guard down at all. On the contrary, their nerves were even more taut, like an arrow about to be released from a bow, ready to go.

While releasing his martial soul and soul rings, Tang San opened the information about the gatekeeper.

This is a perk offered to players in Challenge Mode.

Name: Lu Jingming
Martial Soul: Black Abyss, White Flower
Soul Power Level: Level 37 Soul Master

The information was limited, consisting only of names, martial spirits, and spirit power levels, but it was enough for them.

Upon seeing the level 37 soul power, Tang San felt a huge weight lifted from his heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his soul power level of thirty-seven was higher than most of the seven people, it was still within the range of Soul Venerables, and he was at the same level as Dai Mubai among them.

From this perspective, it seems there's nothing to be afraid of.

However, he was quite concerned about that martial soul; it felt like two different martial souls.
But Tang San immediately shook his head, denying his guess.

His teacher once told him that he was the only person in the world, besides the Pope of the Spirit Hall, to possess twin martial souls.

In his mind, how could there be anyone else who possessed such a rare twin martial soul as him?

The spiritual consciousness, like a light bird, gracefully descended into the simulated universe, easily replacing the virtual data body.

Lu Jingming felt his soul power being restricted to level 37, as if there was an invisible shackle around his body.

Looking up, he immediately saw Tang San and the others who were on high alert, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, in an instant, he received a message from the simulated universe that Tang San and the others were currently tackling the challenge mode, and in this level, they had randomly been assigned their own data body.

As for why he was the only opponent in the team challenge, it was because the AI ​​of the simulated universe calculated and simulated Lu Jingming's Soul Venerable level data body, which perfectly matched the difficulty required for this level.

After receiving the information and understanding the reason, Lu Jingming immediately became interested.

The original Shrek Seven Devils had all successfully ascended to godhood in his era, forming the original protagonist group. Their statues still stand at Shrek Academy to this day. Now, standing before him are their counterparts from a parallel world. Lu Jingming wants to test the current protagonist group's capabilities.

“One against seven, the advantage is in my hands.” Lu Jingming’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident and slightly provocative smile.

In an instant, thick black mist emerged from his body, and a black spear appeared steadily in his hand.

He slowly raised his spear, the tip pointing precisely at the Shrek Seven Devils who were waiting in full battle array opposite him. He looked like a proud king looking down at his subjects, his provocation evident in his expression.

"What an arrogant guy! Let your sister Xiaowu teach you a lesson." Xiaowu, who has a fiery temper, instantly bristled when she heard Lu Jingming's arrogant provocation.

In her mind, she was always the one who was arrogant in front of others. When did it become her turn to be so presumptuous in front of her?

The Shrek Seven Devils weren't too surprised when Lu Jingming spoke.

After all, in this simulated universe, the simulated characters will be given the personality traits of the original characters.

The virtual beings they fought against before also included those that could speak and displayed distinct personalities.

"Xiao Wu, don't be impulsive." Tang San thought to himself that something was wrong. He was about to speak up to stop her, but Xiao Wu's movements were too fast. Like an arrow released from a bow, before Tang San could react, she was like a pink lightning bolt, rushing straight towards Lu Jingming. Her fierce appearance seemed to want to devour Lu Jingming alive.

Xiao Wu's martial soul is the Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit, which grants her amazing jumping ability. At this moment, she is like a nimble yet aggressive rabbit.

The moment she got close to Lu Jingming, she suddenly exerted force with her legs, and her whole body sprang high into the air. Her two long and straight legs drew a beautiful arc in the air, aiming directly at Lu Jingming's neck. She clearly wanted to wrap her arms around Lu Jingming and unleash her first soul skill - Waist Bow.

Although the rabbit's first soul skill seemed to be giving him a benefit on the surface, Lu Jingming had no interest in it at all.

He merely shifted his body slightly, the movement seemingly casual, but with just a light turn, he passed by Xiao Wu like a ghost.

At the same time, the black spear in his hand, like a black dragon, instantly turned into a blur, whistling through the air, and slammed fiercely towards Xiao Wu.

A dull thud resounded, as if a heavy hammer had struck everyone's hearts.

Xiao Wu couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard in the abdomen. She couldn't help but groan, and her whole body flew back like a kite with a broken string.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's expression changed instantly, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry.

He was extremely anxious and instantly unleashed his first soul skill, Entanglement.

In an instant, several sturdy blue silver grasses sprouted from the ground and caught Xiao Wu as she flew back.

"Third Brother, be careful! His strength is incredible, even stronger than Boss Dai!" Xiao Wu clutched her lower abdomen, her face contorted in pain, a trickle of bright red blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. She endured the pain and spoke in a strained, low voice.

Seeing Xiao Wu injured, Tang San's eyes flashed with barely suppressed anger, but when he heard Xiao Wu's words, his pupils shrank sharply, and he was shocked.

Is he even stronger than Dai Mubai? You have to know that Dai Mubai's martial soul is the top-tier beast martial soul of the power attack type - the White Tiger. This martial soul has always been known for its strength and has few rivals among those of the same level.

Lu Jingming's martial soul is merely a long spear, clearly a weapon martial soul. Logically speaking, how could it possibly compare to the White Tiger martial soul in terms of strength? Moreover, their soul power levels are the same.

"I'll do it." Just as everyone was in shock, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhu Zhuqing rush out like a black lightning bolt, her speed reaching its limit, leaving behind a series of illusory afterimages as she moved.

"Netherworld Thrust, Netherworld Hundred Claws." As the two yellow soul rings on Zhu Zhuqing's body shone with dazzling light, she released two soul skills at the same time.

In an instant, her speed doubled, and she moved like a ghost, closing in on Lu Jingming in a flash.

She spun rapidly, her speed dazzling, her sharp claws flashing through the air, tearing it apart with ear-piercing explosions. Countless claw shadows flew like a dense raindrop, wildly slashing at Lu Jingming.

"Powerless, unwise, and reckless!" Lu Jingming said calmly, watching Zhu Zhuqing's fierce attacks.

Despite Zhu Zhuqing's seemingly fierce attacks, his body moved with extraordinary agility, like a feather fluttering in the wind, skillfully dodging all the attacks without even letting Zhu Zhuqing touch the hem of his clothes.

Tang San's expression instantly turned serious. He was secretly amazed. This movement technique seemed to be even more advanced than his own Ghost Shadow Step.
Zhu Zhuqing was only a second-ring Great Soul Master after all, and her soul power and physical strength would eventually be exhausted.

As the effects of her soul skills gradually weaken, her attack frequency also decreases.

In that instant, Lu Jingming clenched his left fist and, with a whooshing sound, punched Zhu Zhuqing in the lower abdomen.

But the next moment, a blue-silver vine suddenly burst from the ground beneath his feet, wrapping around his body with lightning speed and abruptly stopping his movements.

At the same time, a tall figure instantly appeared in front of him. It was Dai Mubai. His second soul ring shone with a dazzling yellow light, and he spat out a thick white beam of light.

"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave."

Not only that, a fat man with red hair also appeared to Lu Jingming's side, spitting a blazing line of fire at him.

"Phoenix Fireline".

In an instant, Lu Jingming was caught in a pincer attack, and his body was also tightly bound by the Blue Silver Grass, making him unable to move.

In that instant, he felt as if he were caught in an invisible net, unable to escape.

"Well done!" Seeing this, Ning Rongrong's face turned red with excitement, and she waved her pink fists fiercely, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.

"Not bad." Yu Xiaogang, who was watching the battle, nodded slightly, a satisfied look on his face.

This is what team challenges should look like. No matter how many or how few the opponents are, teamwork is the key to victory. Only when everyone works together and gives full play to their respective strengths can they defeat strong enemies.

Just as he was about to be hit by two powerful ranged soul skills, Lu Jingming suddenly smiled and murmured, "That's more like it, otherwise it would be too boring."
