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

Chapter 183 The Arrival of the Exchange Student

"I see. The key is to think about the person you like and have no other thoughts in your mind, then you can make the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red recognize you as its master." Lu Jingming stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao liked Wang Dong'er, but he had also liked Ju Zi before and had feelings for Wang Qiu'er. However, when he was picking the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, he only wanted to save Wang Dong'er and had no other thoughts in his mind, which is why he was able to successfully pick it.

Therefore, it seems that the judgment of the "love-sick heartbreak red" is not so accurate.

Didn't Zhu Zhuqing and Yu Xiaogang fail ten thousand years ago because they had impure thoughts in their hearts?

As long as you keep your mind free of distractions and think about the person you like, he can do it himself!

Lu Jingming couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known the conditions were like this, he would have tried it himself.

If you could really pluck the Acacia Heartbreak Red petal, it would be an excellent tool for gaining favor. As for whose favor you'd gain, that would depend on the specific circumstances.

Lu Jingming has been learning from Jingliu for a long time, and he has some knowledge of controlling his mind.

This trip to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire has yielded fruitful results.

All kinds of immortal herbs have been acquired, and even the Acacia Heartbreak Red, which has extremely demanding harvesting conditions, has been successfully picked. Furthermore, the two dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon King have fallen into Gu Yue's hands.

Thus, this trip to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire has come to a successful conclusion.

Besides these rare immortal herbs and dragon souls, the biggest gain from this trip was undoubtedly the four 100,000-year-old immortal herbs that had already developed sentience.

It is important to understand that the World Tree is essentially a collection of memories, knowledge, and wisdom.

After acquiring the memories and power of these four 100,000-year-old immortal herbs, the World Tree Stigmata underwent another period of growth.

Lu Jingming activated the power of the Holy Mark, and in an instant, a ball of crimson flame ignited in his hand. This flame emitted an extreme high temperature, as if it would turn everything around it into ashes.

However, the next moment, the blazing flames suddenly vanished, replaced by a pervasive, bone-chilling cold.

A crystal-clear ice crystal slowly condensed in Lu Jingming's palm.

At this point, he had mastered the power of extreme ice and extreme fire, which originated from the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, respectively.

For the World Tree Stigmata, memory is equivalent to power. Obtaining the memory of the Immortal Herb means gaining the unique abilities possessed by the Immortal Herb.

In addition to the abilities granted by the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, Lu Jingming also possesses the abilities of the Fragrant Silk Fairy and the Silk Tulip.

However, both of these abilities—one being immune to all poisons and the other being a special perception that can discern the characteristics of spiritual objects in the world—are passively triggered abilities.

The memories of other immortal herbs were also absorbed by the World Tree's sacred mark.

However, because those immortal herbs lacked sentience and their memories were hazy, they were unable to condense new abilities for Lu Jingming.

Even so, all of this is enough.

What Lu Jingming needs is not more complex abilities, but rather these memories that can drive the World Tree's sacred marks to grow continuously.

After all, this is closely related to his next plan, and it can even be said that it has a direct impact on his ability to condense a divine position.

As for the four immortal herbs whose memories and power were absorbed, Lu Jingming will make proper arrangements for them, and has no intention of abandoning them after they have served their purpose.

"Haiyuan City, we're back again." Meng Hongchen slowly descended from the sky, deftly put away her flying soul tool, and then stretched comfortably.

Looking at the familiar Haiyuan City before her, she couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of seeing Lu Jingming soon.

"This is Haiyuan City, it's truly amazing!"

Looking at the various soul-guided structures in the city that were in no way inferior to those in Mingdu, especially the magnificent artificial island he had witnessed on the beach when he arrived—the Eye of the Abyss—he had to admit that the research on soul-guided devices in the Abyss City, at least in terms of civilian applications, had surpassed that of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Master Jing, everyone from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, welcome to Haiyuan City. I am Zhang Lexuan from St. Freya Academy, in charge of matters related to this academy exchange."

A gentle and pleasant voice rang out at the right time. Zhang Lexuan led ten students from St. Freya Academy and walked gracefully to the group from Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy attached great importance to this exchange program. In order to fully demonstrate its sincerity, Jing Hongchen personally led Meng Hongchen and other exchange students to Haiyuan City to carry out the student exchange activities.

Zhang Lexuan's gaze swept over the crowd behind Jing Hongchen, and she instantly understood.

She was familiar with Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, after all, the Soul Master Competition had just ended not long ago.

As for the other trainees who came to exchange ideas, she also had detailed information about them.

These materials come not only from the simulated universe, but also from intelligence information provided by the Impermanent Division.

After all, there was a member named Bai Qi in the Wuchang Division who was also a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and a confidant of Crown Prince Xu Tianran.

Therefore, once the list of students for the exchange program with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was finalized, Zhang Lexuan received the news. "Junior brother, I'll have to trouble you with this exchange program."

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Lexuan for a while, Jing Hongchen turned to look at the middle-aged man with glasses and a thin figure beside him.

"I'll keep an eye on it." Xuan Ziwen nodded gently.

In the past, he had never been interested in such matters, focusing solely on the research of soul tools.

However, since the exchange program was with St. Freya Academy, and he was excited about the possibility of meeting Ms. Black Tower, he volunteered to be the team leader.

"Master Jing, we entrust these students of our academy to you. We believe they will learn more at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Of course, our St. Freya Academy will also do its best to teach your students."

Zhang Lexuan said with a smile, and then nodded slightly to one of the teachers leading the team beside her.

The teacher in charge immediately led the ten St. Freya students toward Mirror Red Dust.

Seeing this, Jing Hongchen nodded to Xuan Ziwen, who then pushed up his glasses and walked towards Zhang Lexuan first.

Because both sides were sincere, the student exchange process went very smoothly.

Watching Jing Hongchen unfold his enormous flying soul tool and leave with the students and teachers of St. Freya Academy, Zhang Lexuan turned to Meng Hongchen and the others, and said with a smile, "Welcome back to you all. Come with me, I'll take you to the academy."

Meng Hongchen and the others followed behind Zhang Lexuan, passing through Haiyuan City and successfully entering St. Freya Academy.

"I will take you to take the entrance test first, and then I will assign you classes, give you school uniforms and arrange accommodation."

As Zhang Lexuan led Meng Hongchen and the others forward, she explained in detail the relevant matters of St. Freya Academy.

"An entrance test?" Meng Hongchen and the others were taken aback. They hadn't expected there to be an entrance test. They couldn't help but wonder if St. Freya Academy was trying to intimidate them with this.

"Hehe, don't misunderstand. The entrance test is not what you think. On the contrary, it is a benefit that the academy gives to new students."

Zhang Lexuan keenly sensed the doubts of Meng Hongchen and the others, realizing that they had misunderstood, and quickly and patiently explained.

According to Lu Jingming, exchange students like Meng Hongchen should simply be treated as normal freshmen.

There is no need to give them too much special treatment, nor is there any need to suppress or discriminate against them.

Therefore, the exchange students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will naturally not lack the same benefits and treatment as students of St. Freya Academy.

After this period of development, the holographic strategy has been updated and transformed, with both the monster designs and the test modes becoming more diverse.

Under Zhang Lexuan's arrangement, Meng Hongchen and the others arrived at the holographic strategic login room. At the same time, they also learned about the rating and classification rules of St. Freya Academy.

Their next assessment will depend entirely on their performance in the holographic strategy.

"May I ask what Lu Jingming and the others' ratings are?" After being taught by Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen's personality had become much more composed.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but ask, even though he had some guesses in his mind, he still hoped to get definite information.

“They’re all S-rank!” Zhang Lexuan replied with a smile.

"Is that so? Then we only have one goal left, don't you think, Meng!" Xiao Hongchen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

He lost to Lu Jingming in the competition, and this time, he definitely didn't want to lose again in the ranking.

“That’s right, brother, I don’t want to be looked down upon by Lu Jingming!” Meng Hongchen said with equal fighting spirit.

"If I become an S-rank student, will I be able to learn swordsmanship from Snow Moon Douluo?"

Among the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, a thin young man with a cold and aloof demeanor, who always carried an iron sword, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"Of course!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but take a deep look at the young man holding the sword.

In an instant, detailed information about the other person surfaced in her mind.

Ji Juechen, at only twenty years old, is already a five-ring Soul King, the top student in the actual control Soul Guidance Department of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, and is known as the "Sword Maniac".

Ji Juechen's innate soul power is only level three. Such talent might not be remarkable in the eyes of most soul masters.

However, he was a man born for the sword. With his extreme love and understanding of the way of the sword, he infused his soul into the sword and forged an ordinary piece of meteorite iron into a unique sword.

Ji Juechen's current soul power level may not be considered top-tier among soul masters of the same age.

But you should know that his innate soul power is only level three!

If it were any other Soul Master with the same innate Soul Power Level 3, by the age of twenty, they would probably still be struggling at the Great Soul Master level, let alone become a Soul King.
