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

Chapter 195 The Black Angel and the Black March (Combined Chapter)

"Dean Flander, are we really going to join in this mess? I heard that the filthy spot is dangerous. Didn't Tianshui Academy already lose a Soul Saint?" Oscar said with a worried expression.

As a food-type Soul Master, he had no combat ability whatsoever. The thought of going to such a dangerous place filled him with dread and made him feel completely insecure.

"What's there to be afraid of, Xiao Ao? So many people are going, and Teacher Erlong and the others are there too. What's there to be afraid of?"

Dai Mubai smiled and patted Oscar on the shoulder.

"Brother Dai, I'm not scared, it's just that the Soul Master Competition is about to start, and I'm afraid that something might happen that could affect the competition."

Noticing Ning Rongrong and the others looking at him, Oscar quickly retorted, not wanting to be seen as a coward by Ning Rongrong.

"Mu Bai is right. As long as I don't encounter a Title Douluo, I've never been afraid of anyone, you, Teacher Erlong."

A beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties with a hot figure patted Oscar on the shoulder and smiled confidently.

After all, with the Golden Trio gathered together, they would be able to fight even against a Title Douluo, so there was really nothing to fear.

"Hey, those are the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's carriages, it's Dad and the others." Just then, Ning Rongrong suddenly caught sight of two carriages in the distance, and her eyes instantly lit up with joy.

At the same time, the two carriages slowly drove towards their direction.

"Rongrong!"

"Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, you're all here!" Ning Rongrong cheered as she saw Ning Fengzhi and the others getting off the carriage, and like a happy little bird, she rushed into Ning Fengzhi's arms.

"Sect Leader Ning, it's been a long time! How have you been?" Yu Xiaogang and the others stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Ning Fengzhi.

The carriage came to a steady stop. Hearing the commotion outside, Xue Qinghe opened the carriage door and calmly stepped down.

"Rongrong, it's been a long time."

"Brother Xue, you're here too!" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but show a surprised expression when she saw Xue Qinghe get off the carriage.

"My little sister was clamoring to come and see the excitement, and so were you all," Xue Qinghe explained with a smile.

"Xue Ke is here too?" Ning Rongrong's gaze fell on the carriage. As the beloved little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she not only knew Xue Qinghe, but was also familiar with Xue Ke.

However, the two had very different personalities and couldn't get along, so they weren't very familiar with each other.

"It's you!" However, when she saw Lu Jingming getting out of the car with Xue Ke, her pupils suddenly contracted and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Ning Rongrong's exclamation instantly drew everyone's attention.

Following her gaze, everyone looked at Lu Jingming. Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others reacted in the same way as Ning Rongrong, all with expressions of surprise.

"What? Rongrong, you know Brother Lu too?" Xue Qinghe was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm also curious about how you all came to know me," Lu Jingming said, feigning a puzzled expression.

He knew perfectly well how Ning Rongrong and the others knew him, but what did the virtual entity in the simulated universe have to do with him personally? He didn't want anyone to know about the proxy gaming.

"This!" Ning Rongrong and the others were speechless for a moment, their gazes towards Lu Jingming filled with strangeness.

Yu Xiaogang, in particular, turned ashen-faced, looking utterly bewildered.

He could still deceive himself into thinking that Lu Jingming was just a false existence in the simulated universe, but now that the real person is standing in front of him, it means that the theory he has always believed in is about to suffer a huge blow.

Under the curious gazes of Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong did not hide anything and recounted exactly what had happened in the simulated universe.

When Ning Fengzhi and the others heard that Lu Jingming in the simulated universe had defeated the Shrek Seven Devils all by himself, and that his spirit ring configuration was beyond the norm, they all looked at Lu Jingming in astonishment.

"Hehe, it seems we're quite destined to meet!" Lu Jingming chuckled, breaking the silence, while simultaneously noticing a slightly hostile gaze.

He followed the gaze and saw Tang San staring at him with a gloomy face. Clearly, the other party was still brooding over what happened in the simulated universe.

Lu Jingming's lips twitched slightly. This guy really likes to play the blame game!

He just killed Xiao Wu in the simulated universe, and in their view, it was the work of the simulation entity, so it shouldn't have anything to do with him personally.

At least Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and others did not have any hostility towards him, and they clearly distinguished between them. Even Xiao Wu did not show any hostility towards him. Tang San was the only exception.

This guy's personality is indeed vindictive and he likes to take his anger out on others.

Not only Lu Jingming sensed Tang San's hostility, but Sword Douluo, Xue Qinghe, and others also noticed that Tang San's gaze towards Lu Jingming was full of hostility.

Recalling what Ning Rongrong had just said, they were all speechless. Was it really necessary to be so petty?

Ning Fengzhi also frowned deeply; he hadn't expected Tang San to be such a narrow-minded person.

If it weren't for Ning Rongrong's ability to evolve her martial soul thanks to the immortal herb Tang San gave her, he would have wanted Ning Rongrong to stay away from Tang San.

At the same time, he began to have some reservations about continuing to invest in Tang San.

With such a personality, can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really gain any benefit from Tang San?
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Tang San realized that his behavior was somewhat inappropriate, and quickly suppressed his hostility, no longer looking at Lu Jingming.

Apart from a few perceptive individuals, no one else noticed anything unusual about the atmosphere.

Ning Rongrong moved closer to Lu Jingming and asked curiously, "Lu Jingming, is your spirit ring configuration really the same as the one in the simulated universe?"

"The simulated universe creates data entities based on real people. What do you think?" Lu Jingming didn't answer directly, but asked in return.

"It's really true! How did you do that?" Although she didn't get a definite answer, it was almost tantamount to an admission. Ning Rongrong couldn't suppress her curiosity and continued to ask.

It should be noted that even if they absorbed the immortal herbs, they could not achieve the same level of absurdity as Lu Jingming.

Tang San's fourth spirit ring was already incredibly powerful, having absorbed a ten-thousand-year-level spirit ring. But Lu Jingming in the simulated universe had two purple and one black spirit rings.

"Rongrong!" Ning Fengzhi frowned, his tone becoming stern.

How could you casually ask others about something like this? Even within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this is a core secret.

"It's very simple, as long as your physical fitness and mental strength are strong enough," Lu Jingming said with a relaxed smile.

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. What difference did it make whether she said anything or not? Everyone knows that absorbing a spirit ring requires meeting certain physical and mental standards.

However, she stopped asking and figured she wouldn't get any answers anyway, so she lost interest.

Because of Ning Rongrong, the Shrek Academy group joined the team.

Given Ning Fengzhi's, Sword Douluo's, and Bone Douluo's affection for Ning Rongrong, they naturally wouldn't feel comfortable letting her out of their sight at the filthy place, so it was inevitable that they would act together.

There were more than a dozen people from Shrek Academy, and the carriage couldn't possibly accommodate them all. However, the Soul Masters themselves were not much slower than the carriage.

Soon, the group moved further and further away from Tiandou City and gradually entered the wilderness area, where the trees became increasingly dense and lush.

Once they reached the wilderness, the carriage could no longer proceed, and everyone had to switch to walking.

As they approached the target valley, a cold and evil aura swept over them, causing everyone to tremble involuntarily.

When they arrived at the valley indicated by the intelligence, most of them fell silent upon seeing the scene filled with black mist.

"Is this the filth spot? It looks so scary!" Ning Rongrong subconsciously moved closer to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. Only when she was with her two titled Douluo grandfathers could she feel safe enough.

"Something's not right, something's very wrong!" Ning Fengzhi frowned. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had cleaned up many filth spots, but none of them had ever given him such a chilling feeling as this place.

Even though there had been Contra-level monsters in the past, and the area of ​​contamination was much larger than this, it didn't feel as terrifying to him.

"How could this be? It wasn't like this when we left!" Not far away, Shui Bing'er and her group from Tianshui Academy stared in disbelief at the drastically changed valley.

It had been less than two days since they escaped back to Tiandou City.

At that time, the area covered by the filth was not nearly this large, but now, the contamination has spread completely beyond the valley, at least doubling in size.

How long has it been? The speed at which the contamination has spread is completely illogical, a stark contrast to other discovered contamination sites.

"No matter what the reason, we have no choice but to go in and take a look. If there is any problem, we must find out as soon as possible, since this place is too close to Tiandou City."

Meng Shenji, the chief of the three teaching committees of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, frowned and spoke in a solemn tone.

With the Poison Douluo in charge, no matter what monsters appear, they won't be able to cause any trouble.

Bai Baoshan, the second-in-command of the three education committees, turned his gaze to the back of the group and saw an elderly man with white hair being linked arm-in-arm with a young girl with short purple hair and emerald green eyes.

Dugu Bo ignored the three education committee members, turned around and looked behind him, and said with a smile, "Little monster, I knew you wouldn't miss this show."

"Old monster, aren't you the same?" Tang San stepped forward and teased with a smile.

Upon seeing this, most of the people present looked astonished.

Poison Douluo is known for his eccentric personality, so it's hard to believe that a Soul Master could communicate with him on such an equal footing, and even joke with him.

The three members of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy looked extremely grim.

It was because Poison Douluo interfered that they were unable to keep Tang San and the others, which led to Tang San leaving the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Now, it's Poison Douluo and Tang San who are getting closer and closer, and they seem to have become the bad guys.

"Your Highness, Sect Leader Ning."

When the three members of the Royal Academy of Tiandou saw Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi and others beside him, they quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Although Ning Fengzhi's cultivation level was inferior to theirs, he was still the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whose status was no lower than that of a Title Douluo, and perhaps even higher. Xue Qinghe, on the other hand, was someone they were loyal to.

It was precisely because they were Xue Qinghe's people that Prince Xue Xing sought out Dugu Bo to drive Tang San and the others away.

"Old Poisoner, it seems your cultivation has improved quite a bit!"

Sword Douluo's gaze fell on Dugu Bo's gray hair. In his memory, Dugu Bo's hair used to be green.

Moreover, he keenly sensed that Dugu Bo's soul power fluctuations were stronger than before, clearly indicating a breakthrough.

At this moment, a group of prominent figures gathered here to exchange pleasantries. Feng Ying from Shenfeng Academy and Huo Shi from Chihuo Academy stood by anxiously, but dared not interrupt.

They were extremely anxious, only wanting to rush into the valley to find Shui Ming'er, but looking at the dark mist that filled the valley, which was as gloomy and terrifying as a demon's lair, they dared not make any rash moves.

"Teacher, we need to speed things up!" Xue Qinghe frowned, pointing to the trees and flowers that were rapidly withering.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the filth was spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, being in this area where negative energy was highly concentrated, Xue Qinghe felt uncomfortable all over. A strong impulse surged in his heart, and he wished he could immediately release his martial soul to purify everything in front of him.

But he knew in his heart that he absolutely could not do that, and this made him extremely distressed.

Not only Xue Qinghe, but everyone else also noticed that the spread of this filth was happening faster than they had imagined.

If this situation is not contained quickly, at the current rate of spread, the filth will reach Tiandou City in just a few months.

If the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire were to become a filthy place, it would be a huge joke, and if it were not cleaned up in time, such a terrible situation could very well occur.

Without further hesitation, everyone released their soul power to protect themselves and stepped into the valley filled with black mist.

Although Xue Ke's combat power is limited, she is still a Soul Master and can resist the erosion of negative energy with her soul power.

As long as she doesn't participate in the battle, she can actually last longer than those Soul Masters who are fighting on the front lines.

Soon after entering the valley, the figures of the black-armored Golden Guards began to appear one after another.

Most of these monsters are not very strong, and students from various academies can easily deal with them using their own abilities.

There were at least a hundred people who came to join in the fun, and the lowest level of cultivation among them was Soul Venerable. Dealing with these mindless Golden Guards was not difficult.

Those who charged ahead and fought the most bravely were from the three academies of Tianshui, Chihuo, and Shenfeng.

After all, these three academies have always had a close relationship, and now that Shui Ming'er from Tianshui Academy is deeply involved, they are naturally the most anxious.

Fengying and Huoshi disregarded their status and personally went into battle to kill the Soul Master-level Jinwei, all in order to speed up the team's advance.

As the group ventured deeper into the territory, in addition to the black-armored soldiers, some figures dressed in white and black robes also began to appear.

These guys are skilled at stealthy ambushes, resulting in injuries to some unsuspecting students.

Fortunately, each academy has teachers at the Soul Emperor and Soul Saint levels leading the teams, so there have been no casualties so far.

If it weren't for the presence of powerful figures from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Poison Douluo, many people would probably have given up long ago.

After all, this is only the outer edge of the valley, and no one knows how great the dangers are lurking deeper inside.

They just wanted to join in the fun, not to become cannon fodder for nothing.

If it weren't for the chance to obtain treasures by killing negative energy monsters, they wouldn't be rushing forward so desperately.

Watching the Jin Guards being killed along the way, as well as monsters resembling the Black and White Impermanence of the Wuchang Division, Lu Jingming felt a strange sensation welling up inside him, making him both laugh and cry.

Just then, a strange yet somewhat sacred prayer suddenly rang out, followed by a huge phantom of an angel appearing out of thin air.

The angelic phantom was holy and beautiful, yet it was surrounded by a black and red aura of killing intent and malevolence, creating a stark contrast with the holy light emanating from its body.

This contradictory existence caused everyone's pupils to shrink sharply, and some couldn't help but exclaim: "Angel Martial Soul!"

Xue Qinghe turned his gaze to the figure enveloped by the angelic phantom. He saw a blonde girl wearing golden armor, radiating holy light, but with blood-red eyes and a face covered in cracks.

The Twin-Winged Angel Martial Soul likely belongs to the ordinary angel race, and most likely comes from the Angel Legion.

Xue Qinghe made a judgment instantly, and upon seeing the five soul rings on the other party's body—two yellow, two purple, and one black—he couldn't help but frown.

Judging from the girl's appearance, she is probably around twenty years old. It's impossible for me to have no recollection of someone so young becoming a Soul King, especially since she is from the Angel Clan.

He couldn't figure out who the prototype was, but how could Lu Jingming beside him not recognize it? It was Yu Mengdi, who had actually appeared as an elite monster!
A Soul King level expert is not someone that ordinary students can contend with. Fire Lion took off without hesitation, and the illusory Flame Lion behind him roared to the sky.

He suddenly threw a punch, the huge fiery fist smashing mercilessly towards the beautiful angel.

The golden sword light collided violently with the fiery fist, unleashing a deafening roar, and a powerful shockwave swept outwards like ripples.

Fire Lion showed no mercy, his soul rings gleaming as he transformed into a blur, instantly appearing before Hei Yumengdi.

His right hand, transformed into a beast's claw, pierced Hei Yumengdi's heart like lightning.

As the black mist gradually dissipated, the angelic phantom also collapsed.

Fire Lion now held a golden holy sword, which was the level-five soul tool that Yu Mengdi had dropped—a soul tool longsword.

But the next moment, a golden tornado carrying a black and red aura swept in like a raging dragon, instantly enveloping the fire lion.

On a nearby hill, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared out of nowhere; it was none other than Hei Ye Wuqing.

“Soul Emperor!” Feng Ying frowned, his figure instantly surrounded by a gentle breeze, and a green longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He suddenly swung his sword, and a huge wind blade sliced ​​through the air like an arrow, making a hissing sound, and went straight for Hei Ye, who had six soul rings.

"Brother, will Teacher Huoshi be alright?" Huo Wu quickly conjured a fireball in her hand and threw it forcefully, blasting a black-robed figure who suddenly emerged from the shadows into dust.

She looked worriedly at the fire lion enveloped in the golden tornado, her heart filled with anxiety.

The golden tornado, shrouded in black mist, was incredibly powerful. Just looking at it made Huo Wu's heart pound with fear. She felt that if she were to be caught in it, she probably wouldn't even be able to leave behind a complete corpse.

This filthy place was indeed fraught with danger. A Soul Emperor suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack, catching even a Soul Saint like Fire Lion off guard.

"Roar, Martial Soul True Form!" Before Huo Wushuang could answer, he heard the Fire Lion roar angrily.

The crimson flames, like raging waves, instantly engulfed the golden tornado, turning it into a fiery red expanse.

A massive fire lion brandished its sharp claws and ripped through the golden tornado, breaking free from its confinement.

The moment the fire lion broke free, it opened its mouth wide and spewed out a torrent of flames, sweeping towards Black Leaf Ruthless.

Having just withstood the wind shadow's attack, Hei Ye Wuqing had no time to react before being completely engulfed by the raging flames.

As the flames gradually died down, only a piece of soul bone radiating golden light remained on the spot.

Upon seeing this soul bone, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.

It's important to know that in most tainted areas, the treasures that drop are usually soul tools, ores, edible elixirs, or crystals that can enhance soul power and mental strength. The probability of soul bones appearing is extremely low.

Although this soul bone is only of a hundred-year quality, it is still a soul bone, and in this era, soul bones are the rarest treasures.

Fire Lion was stunned; he never expected to be so lucky.

A hundred-year-old soul bone wouldn't be enough to cause a fight between Title Douluos and Soul Douluos, and other Soul Saints wouldn't easily offend Fire Lion, since the Elemental Academy has always been closely allied with each other.

So, Fire Lion took the soul bone without hesitation.

Taking advantage of the duration of the Martial Soul True Body, Fire Lion led the charge into the depths of the valley, displaying the word "reckless" to the fullest.

Stimulated by the soul bone, the students from the other academies seemed to have been injected with adrenaline.

The Soul Saint experts, who had previously been somewhat reserved, could no longer restrain themselves and began to use all their skills to search for and kill monsters with negative energy, especially those with cultivation levels above Soul King.

Among these Soul Saints, one can see the figures of Flander and Zhao Wuji.

Flander, in particular, used his speed advantage to steal kills everywhere, and although everyone was angry, they dared not say anything.

After all, Shrek Academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are very close, and one of their students is even on par with Poison Douluo. They can't afford to offend them.

As for Liu Erlong, she always stayed by Yu Xiaogang's side, because with Yu Xiaogang's strength, any black qi monster could easily take his life.

Such a blatant hunting operation naturally attracted the attention of certain beings deeper in the valley.

A pink-haired girl drew her bow and nocked an arrow, and six spirit rings appeared on her body in succession: two purple, three black, and one red.

An ice-blue light arrow shot out instantly, appearing hundreds of meters above the ground in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the ice-blue light arrow exploded, turning into countless icy arrows that rained down like a torrential downpour.

A terrifying chill descended from the sky, accompanied by a rain of arrows and water vapor frozen into ice, forming a dense hailstorm.

"Oh no!" Most people were shocked by the sudden hailstorm.

Whether it's a rain of arrows or hail, the consequences of being hit are unimaginable.
