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

Chapter 148 Harmony in the Harem
Lu Jingming was quite confident in his control over his power.

After all, he had already mastered the basic power control techniques during his time learning swordsmanship from Kagami-ryu.

The force he just used was at most enough to break Meng Hongchen's soul skill, and it wouldn't even cause her any real harm, so how could it be said to paralyze her?
However, since Meng Hongchen herself had no objections, Lu Jingming, who was holding this soft and delicate body, naturally had no objections either. In any case, he was not the one who would suffer a loss.

"boom!"

On the other side, Xiao Hongchen was desperately dodging Liu Ying's attacks.

However, misfortune never comes singly. The next moment, a purple blade of light ripped through the void, carrying a chilling aura of death, heading straight for him.

Xiao Hongchen's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes filled with helplessness. With no other choice, he had to use his trump card. His fifth soul ring shone brightly, and his fifth soul skill, Golden Affection, was activated.

In an instant, he transformed into a pool of golden liquid, cleverly dodging the fatal strike in a bizarre form, and then quickly retreated away from Liu Ying and the other two.

Just as Xiao Hongchen, who had just regained his physical form, looked up wearily, he saw Meng Hongchen lying in Lu Jingming's arms with her arms wrapped around his neck, looking shy.

"boom!"

This scene was like a bolt from the blue for Xiao Hongchen, instantly striking his heart.

He stared blankly at Meng Hongchen, pointing at her with his finger, his lips trembling. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a few words, his voice trembling: "Meng...you!"

The next moment, Xiao Hongchen's vision went black. Due to the continuous high-intensity battle that consumed his soul power, coupled with the fact that he had just used his life-saving fifth soul skill, he was already exhausted both physically and mentally.

Seeing his younger sister in this state, he was doubly devastated and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Brother!" Meng Hongchen exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this, and quickly jumped down from Lu Jingming's arms. Her movements were so nimble that she showed no signs of being paralyzed.

She quickly ran to Xiao Hongchen's side and anxiously helped him up.

Lu Jingming looked at the fallen Xiao Hongchen, a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Hongchen was not defeated by Liu Ying and the others, but was so angry at the scene in front of him that he fainted.

"The match is over. St. Freya Academy wins the semi-final team battle!" Dan Heng calmly glanced at the messy competition stage, his expression serene, and announced the result clearly.

The cheers from the audience erupted instantly, and the enthusiastic atmosphere seemed to shake the entire stadium.

Amidst thunderous cheers, Ma Rulong and the others, exhausted and wounded, were carried off the competition stage.

Lu Jingming led the team members from St. Freya Academy away from the arena in an orderly manner.

As their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, the memory metal device beneath the competition platform was quietly activated.

The originally dilapidated competition stage seemed to come alive and began to repair itself.

The broken stone slabs were slowly pieced together, and the cracks gradually healed, as if the fierce battle had never happened.

After all, the team battle between Shrek Academy and Di'ao Academy is about to take place, and the competition stage needs to be in perfect condition for the next showdown.

"Ah Ming, Meng must feel comfortable hugging you!"

As soon as she returned to the lounge, March 7th stood there with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks, her big eyes full of dissatisfaction, staring straight at Lu Jingming.

"Hmm? Is Xiao Sanyue jealous?" Lu Jingming was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on his face.

In his memory, March 7th was always lively and carefree. What's wrong with her today? Has she finally become enlightened and knows how to "protect her food"?

"Eat my ass, you heartbreaker!" March 7th was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said with a speechless expression.

In her opinion, Lu Jingming was surrounded by a large group of beautiful women, yet he was still "playing the field" outside, making him a complete scumbag.

Lu Jingming shook his head helplessly. He had never deliberately hidden his thoughts. He wanted to build a huge harem. After all, these girls were his virtual wives, each one so cute and charming. Choosing just one was too difficult for him.

"Alright, Little March, don't you also like that Meng classmate? I see you two get along quite well."

Seeing this, the robin quickly stepped in to smooth things over, gently comforting March 7th.

"How can that be the same, Sister Robin!"

March 7th felt even more helpless. She really couldn't understand why Lu Jingming wanted to start a harem, but the key issue was that most of the girls around him actually accepted this situation, which made her feel extremely depressed.

"Sigh, I'm out of options!" March 7th sighed deeply and finally gave up struggling.

Since she couldn't change the situation, she decided to just let it be and give up completely.

Seeing that even March 7th had given in, a hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Yue's eyes. March 7th, March 7th, can't you be a little more assertive? Hurry up and keep this scumbag in check!

At this moment, Jinxi was silently observing everyone's expressions and reactions.

The robin showed a tolerant attitude, March 7th was throwing a tantrum, Firefly was focused on "fighting" with the little cake, but her attention would occasionally fall on Lu Jingming, and Xia Die seemed indifferent. Gu Yue, like March 7th, was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Jingming's behavior, but felt helpless and could only accept it.

Meanwhile, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and Ye Guyi, who were standing by, were still outsiders, only interested in watching the show and gossiping.

As for Jinxi herself, after a moment's thought, she thought to herself, "Hmm, just like my master, I'll let things take their course!"

After thinking it over, she opened the insulated lunchbox, took out a basket of steaming hot xiaolongbao (steamed buns), and began to enjoy them.

After all, they had just played a fierce match, and they were a little hungry.

In her opinion, what's the point of worrying so much about those troubles? There's still a long way to go; this is just the beginning.

If we really take it seriously, wouldn't those who came first be "cheated on" every time a new person appears?
So, just relax, do your best, and let the rest take its course.

As expected, Shrek Academy emerged victorious in the team battle between Shrek Academy and Di'ao Academy, thanks to their superior strength.

During the match, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen all took to the field at the same time. Compared to Di'ao Academy, their advantage was far too obvious.

Although Jiang Peng of Di'ao Academy is also a force to be reckoned with, his martial soul, the Heaven-Shaking Axe, is a top-tier weapon martial soul and is quite famous throughout the entire soul master world.

Even so, he could only be considered equal to Dai Yueheng in terms of strength at best.

When facing Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Saint, Jiang Peng quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and ultimately suffered a defeat.

The first day of semi-final team battles quickly came to a close in a lively atmosphere, and next up was the individual elimination rounds.

The next morning, the sunlight gently bathed every corner of Haiyuan City, draping this vibrant city in a golden glow.

Lu Jingming led his team back to the Eye of the Abyss early on, preparing to participate in the upcoming individual elimination rounds.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy suffered a disappointing defeat in their specialty, team battles, yesterday. They knew very well that this meant their journey in this competition would most likely end in the semifinals.

However, as the long-established "perennial runner-up" in the Soul Master world, they possess an indomitable spirit and can withstand such a blow. They did not give up on themselves and still decided to participate in the individual elimination tournament.

Among them, Xiao Hongchen specifically challenged Lu Jingming by name.

In his heart, Lu Jingming, the man who "seduced" his sister, was simply unbearable, and he did not want to lose to Lu Jingming no matter what.

However, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

Lu Jingming accepted Xiao Hongchen's challenge without hesitation, but the result of the battle greatly disappointed Xiao Hongchen, who suffered a crushing defeat.

During the match, Xiao Hongchen's prized metal handling skills were perfectly countered by Lu Jingming.

Lu Jingming's decomposition power could easily destroy the metal soul cannon controlled by Xiao Hongchen, while his electromagnetic manipulation ability restricted Xiao Hongchen's use of metal, making him unable to fully utilize his abilities.

In the end, when Xiao Hongchen was knocked off the stage by Lu Jingming's spear, his eyes were still filled with disbelief.

He never expected that Lu Jingming would be so disrespectful, completely disregarding the feelings of his "future brother-in-law".

He made up his mind; he was absolutely against this "marriage"!
Lu Jingming was unaware of Xiao Hongchen's chaotic thoughts. He showed no mercy in the match, cleanly defeating the next contestant from the Sun and Moon team.

When it was Meng Hongchen's turn to play, she thought for a moment and then immediately chose to concede defeat.

After all, she knew in her heart that even if she was not tempted by his beauty and went all out, she would still be no match for Lu Jingming.

She didn't want to suffer another defeat like her brother, Xiao Hongchen.

And so, the individual elimination rounds concluded successfully, and St. Freya Academy advanced to the finals.

In the afternoon's matches, Shrek Academy also performed exceptionally well, decisively defeating Di'ao Academy with an absolute advantage and securing their place in the finals.

Similar to the previous Soul Master Competition, this year's competition will once again see two strong teams, St. Freya Academy and Shrek Academy, clash in the finals.

However, in the previous competition, St. Freya Academy had a Soul Saint, while in this competition, Shrek Academy has become the one with a Soul Saint.

This has made the audience eagerly anticipate the upcoming finals. Will St. Freya Academy be stronger, or Shrek Academy?
