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

Chapter 155 The Arrival of Sweet Rain
After a period of great excitement and commotion, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament has finally come to a successful conclusion.

As the participating teams gradually departed, the once bustling Haiyuan City slowly returned to its usual tranquility.

The streets and alleys were no longer as crowded as during the competition. The noisy hawking and heated discussions gradually subsided, and the whole city seemed to awaken from a grand carnival and return to its daily rhythm.

According to the established rules of the competition, the top three academies will receive corresponding rewards, all of which will be prepared by Haiyuan City.

However, since St. Freya Academy won the championship, the most precious reward originally prepared for the champion was saved.

Lu Jingming was extremely generous and magnanimous this time. He awarded three 10,000-year-old Sacred Marks to Shrek Academy, which won the runner-up title, as a reward, while Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which won the third place, also received a 10,000-year-old Sacred Mark.

This is not only a reward, but also a promotion of the Stigmata.

Lu Jingming had already made up his mind to use Qunyu Pavilion as the core and gradually expand the business of selling Sacred Marks to the entire Soul Master world.

He plans to launch Sacred Marks covering different years, such as ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years, and ten thousand years, to meet the needs of Soul Masters of all levels.

As for the extremely rare 100,000-year-old Sacred Mark, given its scarcity and preciousness, it will only be displayed at the Tianquan Auction held once a year, in order to attract the attention of many Soul Masters and enhance the popularity and influence of Qunyu Pavilion in the Soul Master world.

In the process of advancing the Stigmata Project, Lu Jingming realized that it was really difficult for Ningguang to handle so many complicated matters on her own, and her energy was inevitably scattered.

Moreover, the appearance of the Stigmata will inevitably cause waves in this world and attract attention from all sides, requiring more manpower and energy to deal with it.

At this moment, Lu Jingming was not lacking in real power. After careful consideration, he decided that it was you, Wang Xiaomei.

When Keqing and Ningguang learned that Lu Jingming was going to summon Gan Yu, the two of them rushed over with great interest.

As the wisps of true power slowly dissipate, the true authority quietly activates.

In an instant, a tremendous force that could transform the illusory into the real descended, causing strange ripples to spread through the space.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure gradually emerged clearly from nothingness, transforming from blurry to real.

Gan Yu appeared with her long, smooth blue hair neatly tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, hanging naturally down to her waist. It swayed gently with her movements, exuding a kind of lively beauty.

The tuft of hair on her head trembled slightly, adding a touch of cuteness and playfulness to her cool and aloof temperament.

She wore a white short cheongsam, exquisitely tailored, with gold patterns carefully decorated on the collar and cuffs, exuding an elegant and luxurious aura.

The ice-blue gemstone worn at the waist complements the overall outfit, while a unique headdress resembling a folding fan adorns the black unicorn horn.

The white gradient blue arm sleeves she wore, along with the black pantyhose and gold patterned garter belts, perfectly showcased her elegance and beauty.

Looking at Gan Yu in front of him, Lu Jingming couldn't help but admire her inwardly. He had to admit that the woman's taste was truly exceptional.

Gan Yu's overall elegant, tranquil, and pure temperament is as pristine as ice and snow, a quality that is in no way inferior to Gu Yue's.

"Gan Yu, how are you feeling?" Lu Jingming smiled as he looked at Gan Yu, who had just arrived in this world, and then turned to look at Ke Qing, who was also beaming with joy. A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

At this moment, he was secretly delighted. He had finally put together the "Heartfelt Wishes" combination that he had been longing for. It was truly a "sweet and meaningful" combination, which made him feel very gratified.

"It feels very strange. Is this another world?" Gan Yu slowly opened her clear blue eyes, which were full of curiosity.

Her voice was tranquil and gentle, like a clear mountain spring flowing through the air, extremely approachable, and seemed to be able to soothe the restlessness in people's hearts instantly.

While there is no shortage of visitors from other worlds on the continent of Teyvat, this is the first time Gan Yu has set foot in another world.

This completely new experience felt both wonderful and novel to her.

However, during the process of being materialized into this world, she received detailed information about it, so she wasn't entirely unfamiliar with everything around her.

Moreover, she could see Keqing and Ningguang, two familiar people, here, which gave her some comfort and at least she wouldn't feel lonely and helpless in this strange world.

"That's great! With Gan Yu, our work efficiency will increase at least tenfold!"

Ke Qing truly lives up to her title of "Queen of Scrolls"; her first reaction upon seeing Gan Yu is to boost her work efficiency.

She said this with great confidence, and the fact that she said it would increase tenfold made Lu Jingming's lips twitch slightly.

He summoned Gan Yu, hoping she would help him with the affairs, but more so because of his affection for her, not simply because he wanted her to be his servant!
"Well, there's no need to rush into work, Ah Qing, you should think more about others too!" Lu Jingming advised softly, sounding a bit of a headache.

In his view, rather than making them work themselves to the bone, he hoped that Keqing and Ganyu could live a more leisurely and carefree life and enjoy its beauty. "Hey, work? Don't worry about it, leave it to me!" Upon hearing the word "work," Ganyu responded almost reflexively.

This scene left Lu Jingming both amused and exasperated, his heart filled with helplessness.

"Hehe!" Ningguang couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she saw this.

She had guessed early on that Ke Qing and Gan Yu meeting would inevitably trigger such an interesting chemical reaction.

She came here partly to welcome Gan Yu, and partly to witness this hilarious scene firsthand.

For Gan Yu, the moment Lu Jingming summoned her, a contract had already been formed between them.

Since it was Lu Jingming who expended his precious power of reality to bring her from the illusory world into reality, she will wholeheartedly fulfill the contract and work diligently for Lu Jingming.

Seeing that Gan Yu hadn't waited to ask about work-related matters as soon as she appeared, Lu Jingming felt quite helpless.

After all, the business of selling Sacred Marks centered around the Jade Pavilion will inevitably attract the covetousness and greed of some unscrupulous outlaws.

To ensure the safety and stability of Qunyu Pavilion, a stronger force is needed to guard it.

Ningguang's current strength is relatively weak, making it difficult for her to cope with various crises on her own.

Therefore, when Lu Jingming summoned Gan Yu, he did not hesitate to consume a large amount of true power, in order to give Gan Yu enough power in this world.

In this way, Gan Yu can not only share the heavy workload of Ke Qing and Ning Guang, but also use her own powerful strength to deter those with ill intentions and protect Ning Guang and the safety of Qunyu Pavilion in all aspects.

Gan Yu possesses the Ice Qilin Martial Soul, and she is currently at the level of a level 98 Super Douluo, possessing the ultimate ice attribute.

As an auspicious beast, Gan Yu's arrival will undoubtedly bring a continuous stream of good fortune to Haiyuan City.

The reason Lu Jingming did not directly elevate Gan Yu to the level of a 99th-level Limit Douluo was because condensing a second soul core would increase the consumption of true power many times over.

In contrast, he preferred to let Gan Yu break through the bottleneck and condense a second soul core through his own talent and hard work.

In this way, Lu Jingming can save a lot of precious real power, and Gan Yu can better adapt to this world and improve her own strength in the process of self-breakthrough.

After all, with Gan Yu's exceptional talent, breaking through to level 99 is not difficult. At least compared to most Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent, her chances of success are much greater.

The same applies to Danheng; Lu Jingming hopes they can achieve a breakthrough through their own abilities.

They possess such talent and potential, and the strength of a level 98 ultimate attribute Super Douluo is not to be underestimated. It is no less than that of a Limit Douluo, and may even be stronger. For the current situation, such strength is sufficient.

Suddenly, a pink figure abruptly leaped up from the side and, with lightning speed, pounced straight into Gan Yu's arms.

"Eh! Divine Child? What happened to you?" Gan Yu's body stiffened at first, clearly stunned for a moment, but then she quickly realized that the pink-furred fox in her arms was none other than Yae Divine Child, based on the familiar aura.

Seeing this, Lu Jingming touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly, a look of awkwardness appearing on his face.

All of this stemmed from his whimsical moment when he summoned Yae no Miko. Due to a lack of true power at the time, Miko remained in her fox form after appearing, and he did not help her regain her original intellectual and elegant appearance.

Looking back now, it's time to take this opportunity to restore the divine child to its original state.

"Um, Gan Yu, when we summoned the Divine Child before, there was a slight accident because we didn't have enough true power. Now that the time is right, let's take this opportunity to restore the Divine Child to normal!"

Lu Jingming hurriedly explained to Gan Yu, and as he spoke, he reached out and took the pink-furred fox from Gan Yu's arms.

He then channeled his true power into the little fox's body to replenish her strength and help her return to her original form.

As strands of true power continuously flowed into the little fox's body, purple lightning began to flicker and leap across her body, circulating around her.

The next moment, the pink fox's originally silly and innocent eyes changed instantly, and a glint of light flashed in them.

She transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning and vanished without a trace from Lu Jingming's embrace in an instant.

Before everyone could recover from this change, the Eightfold Divine Child reappeared before them.
