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

Chapter 18 The Familiar Princess
A black mist formed by black particles instantly surged out of Lu Jingming's body and quickly enveloped his entire body.

The black fog spread wantonly, and wherever it went, the surrounding flowers, trees, stones and soil began to decompose under the influence of this force, as if all things in the world became extremely fragile in the face of this force.

Feeling this sudden powerful force, the expression of Nebula Douluo, who had been guarding Xu Jiujiu like a shadow, instantly became solemn.

Out of instinctive concern for the princess's safety, she subconsciously dodged and stood in front of Xu Jiujiu, saying in a serious tone, "Your Highness, be careful. Don't touch that black fog!"

Although a hint of surprise flashed across Xu Jiujiu's eyes, her expression was very calm, without the slightest panic.

She shook her head gently and said in a calm tone: "Grandma Manyi, it's okay."

Sure enough, the black fog that seemed to be coming with great force only spread a few meters away, and then it seemed to be restrained by some force and stopped spreading further.

Immediately afterwards, the black fog seemed to be pulled by an invisible giant hand and slowly gathered towards the center.

As the black fog gradually dissipated, Lu Jingming's figure once again appeared clearly.

At this time, Lu Jingming had a completely new look. With white hair and red eyes, he had grown a few inches taller and had a cold temperament.

In his hand, he held a pitch-black spear that was much taller than himself. Black light mist was swirling around the spear, reflecting off a purple soul ring that shone with gorgeous light, making it particularly eye-catching.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Jiujiu's eyes were blurred for a moment. Although the boy was still young, his exquisite face and unique temperament already revealed the charm of a beautiful young man.

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of monster he will be when he grows up and fascinates everyone.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the boy does not grow up to be a bit strange, just like a certain conqueror king, who was originally a stunningly beautiful young man, but eventually turned into a big man with a beard.

Lu Jingming, who successfully absorbed the first soul ring and obtained the first soul skill, showed a satisfied look on his face.

He gently raised his hand and put away the Black Abyss. It must be said that the Cinder Bird was indeed a powerful soul beast with destructive attributes. The soul skills it gave him made him very satisfied.

For Lu Jingming, who was only six years old, the absorption of the Millennium Soul Ring by his first soul ring did indeed bring a huge burden to his body.

However, in the process of absorbing soul rings, the "White Flower" martial soul played a vital role.

Whenever his body's meridians were torn apart by the violent soul power, the creative power released by the "White Flower" martial soul would follow closely, repairing his damaged body in time.

If the creative power of the "White Flower" martial soul was not so strong and powerful, the first soul ring would have absorbed the thousand-year level, which would have been quite dangerous for the young Lu Jingming.

Although the process of absorbing the soul ring was a bit thrilling, everything was within Lu Jingming's expectations.

After all, the Black Tower is well aware of his physical fitness. Since the Black Tower has determined that he can absorb the Millennium Soul Ring, there will definitely be no problem.

In Lu Jingming's heart, he not only regarded these companions he summoned as his closest family members, but also gave them unconditional and absolute trust.

If even they cannot be trusted, then this life will be too sad. When Lu Jingming slowly opened his eyes and saw the princess with a pair of bright blue eyes staring at him, he could not help but be slightly stunned and said in surprise: "Princess, what's wrong with you!"

He was a little confused. Why was Xu Jiujiu still here?

Xu Jiujiu stood up lightly, reached out and gently patted the gorgeous golden skirt on her body, her movements were elegant and natural.

She wore a charming smile and said, "I'm just a little curious. After all, you've pioneered this for the entire Douluo Continent. You shouldn't mind, right?"

Lu Jingming quickly shook his head and said modestly, "Your Highness, you are too kind. The Douluo Continent is vast and boundless, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are countless geniuses emerging one after another. I am just lucky enough to absorb the Millennium Spirit Ring because of my relatively good physical fitness. In front of those truly powerful people, this is really nothing."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but roll his eyes playfully and said in a feigned anger, "You little guy, at such a young age, how come you don't have the arrogance of a teenager at all?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingming just smiled lightly and did not explain too much.

In fact, how could he not have arrogance? After all, as a time traveler who knew the plot well and had a powerful cheat code, he was naturally arrogant.

It’s just that Lu Jingming’s personality in his previous life was more calm and introverted, so his arrogance was never easily revealed.

Moreover, in his opinion, although it was rare for the first soul ring to be absorbed for a thousand years, it was really nothing worth bragging about.

You have to know that the son of luck in this world has a first soul ring that is a million years old. That is a truly astonishing existence.

"Princess, you came to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings, right? Will this waste your time?" Lu Jingming didn't want to dwell on this topic too much, so he naturally changed the subject.

Xu Jiujiu didn't care about it, and continued with a smile: "I'm not like a little freak like you. My first spirit ring is a thousand years old. I only need a third spirit ring that's a thousand years old. In my situation, it's not difficult to find, and it won't take much time. Are you looking for an excuse to drive me away?"

"How could that be? As a citizen of the empire, how dare I show any disrespect to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Lu Jingming hurriedly shook his head with a very sincere attitude.

"You little brat, you appear to be respectful to me on the surface, but in your heart you don't take me, a princess, seriously at all!"

Xu Jiujiu suddenly narrowed his eyes, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

As a princess, she had received too much compliments and flattery in her daily life, so she was very keenly aware that Lu Jingming's respect for her was mostly superficial and not sincere.

Lu Jingming was silenced by Xu Jiujiu's straightforward words and was secretly surprised.

He really didn't expect that Princess Jiujiu's intuition was so sharp, even though he had tried hard to disguise himself well.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you. I am a few years older than you. From now on, you don't have to call me Your Highness the Princess. Just call me sister." A cunning look flashed in Xu Jiujiu's eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Jingming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess was so familiar!
