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

Chapter 118 The Discovery of Gu Yue

In this competition, as long as no other academy has a Soul Saint-level player, Ma Xiaotao is expected to dominate the field.

Therefore, the key right now is to hold on until Ma Xiaotao recovers, and the time required should not be too long, since Ma Xiaotao's injury is not serious, the main problem is the process of expelling the poison gas from her body.

Seeing Wang Yan's expression, Bei Bei and the others felt a pang of unease, instantly realizing that they could no longer count on any support and would have to rely on themselves.

"What are you afraid of? You are all elite disciples carefully cultivated by the academy. Apart from those top academies, other academies can't threaten you at all. As long as you're not too unlucky, you won't encounter those strong teams in the early stages of the competition."

Seeing that Bei Bei and the others were in low spirits, Ma Xiaotao said in an annoyed tone, trying to cheer them up.

“That’s right. Although there are many participating academies, very few have Soul King level players. Bei Bei, He Cai Tou, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan are all Soul Masters, which is more than enough to handle the early battles.”

Dai Yueheng's face was slightly pale, and he echoed Ma Xiaotao, hoping to boost Beibei and the others' confidence.

They were all participants in the previous Soul Master Competition and were very clear about the intensity of the competition and the strength of each participating team.

Except for the later stages of the competition, most of the main players from the academies who appeared in the early stages were only at the Soul Master and Soul Venerable levels, with Soul Kings being extremely rare.

With the abilities of Beibei, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, there is indeed no need to worry too much.

Moreover, besides the four of them, Xiao Xiao possesses twin martial souls, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong also have powerful martial soul fusion skills. With such a lineup, as long as they don't encounter those few strong academies, they should be more than capable of handling the competition.

After reassuring the reserve team, Wang Yan began to explain the competition rules in detail.

Although the competition venue has been changed from Xingluo City to Haiyuan City, the competition format remains unchanged.

After all, changing the competition format requires the four empires to discuss and reach a consensus.

Meanwhile, while the Shrek Academy students were nervously discussing countermeasures, in the top-floor suite of the Daydream Hotel—Cloudy Realm—Lu Jingming was quietly listening to March 7 recounting his recent trip to the Mingdou Mountains.

As one of the participating teams, St. Freya Academy naturally stayed at the Daydream Hotel.

After all, this hotel was meticulously built by Lu Jingming with a lot of resources, and everyone wanted to experience its luxury and uniqueness firsthand.

"Ah Ming, you have no idea how despicable those evil spirit masters are. They don't even spare babies! If I ever encounter one of those evil spirit masters again, I'll freeze them into ice sculptures!"

March 7th waved her pink fists, her face full of indignation, clearly deeply disgusted by the actions of those evil spirit masters, and her impression of them was extremely bad.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely let you vent your anger when I get the chance."

Lu Jingming smiled helplessly. He had heard about the wickedness of some evil spirit masters, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Given the upright character of March 7th and his companions, they naturally could not tolerate such evil deeds.

However, Lu Jingming really didn't expect that even after being injured by Jing Liu and then severely injured by Mebius, Shrek Academy would still send Xuan Zi to lead the team this time!

He was speechless. Did Shrek Academy really have no one else to rely on? Didn't they know about Xuanzi's shortcomings?

Normally, things are fine as long as nothing unexpected happens, but once an emergency occurs, Xuanzi is definitely the most unreliable person.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao had already broken through to the Soul Saint level, yet she still stumbled in this operation. The title of "Strongest Soul King in History" is truly well-deserved!
However, Shrek Academy was quite lucky this time.

The Mingdou Mountains are relatively close to Haiyuan City, and Haiyuan City possesses the world's top-tier medical soul guide devices.

That was a medical soul tool made by Black Tower based on Lu Jingming's Black Abyss White Flower.

Although it cannot yet achieve the miraculous effect of limb regeneration, it is extremely efficient in treating other injuries, and is in no way inferior to Soul Masters who specialize in healing.

Therefore, apart from Chen Zifeng and Gongyang Mo, who will suffer lifelong disabilities, Xixi, whose injuries seem serious, still has a chance to recover before the end of the competition.

Night fell over Haiyuan City, and as the city lights came on, the entire city resembled a sea of ​​lights.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Lu Jingming, dressed in black, stood tall and straight, cradling a pink-furred fox in his arms.

The little fox curled up lazily in his arms, occasionally rubbing its head against his arm.

Lu Jingming lowered his head slightly, gently stroking the little fox's pink fur. He looked up at the hotel below, where a dense crowd surged like a tide, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

He refused to believe that once these people had visited Haiyuan City, they wouldn't be drawn to the lifestyle here.

Whether it's quality of life, job opportunities, or safety, Haiyuan City is second to none in the entire Douluo Continent.

This place is guarded by titled Douluo, with the Soul Master Legion, the Golden Guard, patrolling and protecting it day and night. There are also all kinds of powerful Soul Guidance Devices, including defensive, offensive, and detection types.

The sense of security built up by these elements far surpasses that of a thick city wall. In Lu Jingming's view, as long as the flow of people continues to rise, it is only a matter of time before Haiyuan City surpasses the Ming capital of the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, there are still many research results of the Black Tower that have not been fully revealed, not to mention that now there is also Möbius.

Although Mebius specializes in biology, she also has some knowledge of other areas of research. Her arrival will undoubtedly be a boost to the development of Haiyuan City.

"It's amazing, this city changes every day." Gu Yue had somehow walked up to Lu Jingming and was also looking down at the city with amazement in her eyes.

She has been in this city for three years. In those three years, she has witnessed the growth of Haiyuan City, its development and transformation step by step, with amazing changes happening every day.

At the same time, she also had a deep understanding of the girls around Lu Jingming; each of them was terrifyingly powerful.

Thinking of Liu Ying, Xia Die, Jin Xi, and others, Gu Yue couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

As the incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, she should be considered a top-tier being among humans in terms of talent and strength, right?

But reality was incredibly frustrating for her; at the same age and level, she couldn't beat Liuying and the others.

Needless to say, Lu Jingming was no match for anyone in that seven-person team except for the support player Robin and the beloved March 7.

Sometimes, she would even lose in simulated battles against March 7th!
This situation often plunged her into self-doubt, wondering whether she was the incarnation of a deity or they were.
"Not bad, right? Do you like it here?" Lu Jingming's gaze fell on the black-haired girl beside him.

Gu Yue's beauty was different from the bright and charming beauty of Zhi Gun Niao and others. Her unique temperament was like a secluded orchid in a deep valley, which attracted him deeply without his noticing.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that the appearance Gu Yue was showing to everyone was not her true appearance. Gu Yue Na was her true appearance, and she was known as the number one beauty in Douluo Continent.

What Lu Jingming looked forward to even more was that Gu Yuena was white-haired, which made him even more eager for the day when Gu Yuena would open her heart to him.

"At least, I don't dislike it!" Gu Yue said calmly.

She harbored deep hostility towards humans, after all, humans had never stopped hunting soul beasts.

However, her interactions with robins and others over the past few years have gradually made her realize that humans cannot be generalized.

Robin and March 7th and others are kind and innocent, and have no prejudice against soul beasts. The development of Sea Abyss City gives her a glimmer of hope.

She often spent time with San Yueqi and others, and Lu Jingming didn't deliberately hide too many things from her. At least regarding Zhi Jinwei, she had already discovered some unknown truths.

Every year, St. Freya Academy has some students with less talent who apply to join the Golden Guard. However, what is shocking is that after joining the Golden Guard, their strength increases rapidly in a short period of time, and some even change their martial soul.

This phenomenon greatly moved Gu Yue, as it meant that Haiyuan City's research on martial spirits had reached an unimaginable level.

Because Lu Jingming would convene a gathering of the high-ranking officials of Haiyuan City every year, even Ji Yingying and Ningguang, who were far away, would come back to participate.

Gu Yue was also fortunate enough to see the Black Tower at the gathering. She understood that this was the core of Haiyuan City's development to this day.

Based on the extraordinary wisdom and profound knowledge displayed by the Black Tower, Gu Yue had already vaguely guessed that the birth of the Golden Guard must be related to her.

This stirred a glimmer of hope in her heart: Could the Black Tower possibly find a way to allow humans to obtain soul rings and break through their cultivation levels without having to hunt soul beasts?
Once this technology is available, even if the relationship between humans and spirit beasts cannot achieve peaceful coexistence, it can at least alleviate the survival pressure currently faced by spirit beasts, allowing them more time to develop and grow stronger, instead of being relentlessly hunted by humans and gradually heading towards extinction.

She has no intention of destroying humanity yet, firstly because the divine realm would never allow it, and with her current strength, she is simply no match for the entire divine realm.

Secondly, she inherited the wisdom and creative power of the Dragon God. In terms of combat strength, she is indeed inferior to the Golden Dragon King, who inherited the power and destructive power of the Dragon God.

Even the Golden Dragon King was suppressed by the God Realm, so it was even less likely that she, who was seriously injured, could resist the God Realm.

Therefore, in addition to her initial goal of exploring the essence of Lu Jingming's power when she first arrived in Haiyuan City, she had a new idea: to find a way to save the soul beast race by using the power of Lu Jingming and the Black Tower.

Lu Jingming's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled softly.

Having spent a long time with Gu Yue, he had already guessed what her purpose was in coming to Haiyuan City.

After all, Gu Yue was always keen to challenge him and fight him, even though he was always beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back.

However, Lu Jingming was certain that Gu Yue was neither a masochist nor a battle maniac, so her persistence must have some other purpose.

After much thought, he realized that he had never revealed his true power to Gu Yue, so Gu Yue's plan was most likely a waste of Hei Yuan's efforts.

Thinking of the Black Abyss White Flower in his hand, those two completely opposite yet harmonious forces, Lu Jingming was already absolutely certain of Gu Yue's purpose.

Despite Gu Yue's true form being a Silver Dragon King at the God-King level, her current situation is not good.
