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

Chapter 203 Sneak Attack on Mirror Stream
After all, she was Alicia, and Lu Jingming couldn't think of anyone who could refuse to be friends with her.

Just like Mebius, who on the surface dislikes Alicia, isn't he actually a "Alicia fan" himself?

Just like how Liyue only has fans of the Emperor and twisted fans of the Emperor, in the Land of the Dead, there are only "Airi fans" and "twisted Airi fans".

He could even imagine that if Alicia returned to Haiyuan City with him, it wouldn't be long before she could become friends with everyone, including people with different personalities like Jingliu, Heita, and Ji Yingying.

"By the way, Shui Bing'er, are you still participating in the Soul Master Competition?"

Lu Jingming looked at Shui Bing'er with curiosity.

According to the feedback he obtained from the World Tree's Sacred Mark, the Douluo Continent is currently bustling with activity, and everyone is too busy taking care of themselves.

Under these circumstances, do the Spirit Hall and the two great empires really still have the energy to hold the Spirit Master Competition?
Shui Bing'er was slightly taken aback, then shook her head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "I'm not too sure about that either, but judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it can't be held."

After all, that filth spot has already posed a serious threat to Heaven Dou City. Heaven Dou Empire is currently preoccupied with its own problems and has no time to prepare for the Soul Master Competition.

If the filth is not cleaned up in time, Tiandou City may cease to exist.

“That’s true.” Lu Jingming nodded, lost in thought.

The Soul Master Competition was forced to stop, and he had completely messed up the plot.

Without the Soul Master Competition, Xiao Wu's identity would not be exposed, and Tang San and the others would naturally not be hunted down by the Spirit Hall. In that case, would the classic scene of "Resurrect, my love!" still appear?
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

With the full assistance of the three major elemental academies—Tianshui Academy, Shenfeng Academy, and Chihuo Academy—Qunyu Pavilion was quickly completed.

Lu Jingming took out a large number of low-level soul tools and simulated universe login devices from his storage soul tool and placed them in the Qunyu Pavilion for sale.

Of course, there are also holy marks and some high-level soul tools among them, but these are the grand finale products and will be brought out slowly.

In the past two weeks, Alicia has fully adapted to this new world and has become very close with the girls from Tianshui Academy.

Especially Shui Bing'er's team, their affection for Alicia is almost off the charts.

It can be said that Alicia was thriving at Tianshui Academy, and even Huowu from Blazing Academy was captivated by her charm, which made Feng Xiaotian shed tears of envy.

As everyone expected, the Soul Master Competition was forced to be interrupted.

In the past two weeks, the Heaven Dou Empire has amassed tens of thousands of troops and invited Yu Yuanzhen, the Thunder Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, along with other powerful figures such as Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Poison Douluo, to launch another fierce attack on that filthy spot.

They had thought that with their stronger lineup and well-coordinated Soul Master army, they would be able to wipe out the Filth Point in one fell swoop.

However, reality dealt them a cruel blow.

Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen and Sword Douluo were seriously injured, and the Heaven Dou army lost more than half of its tens of thousands of troops, leaving them no choice but to flee in disarray.

It turns out that after these two weeks, the filth point has spawned an even more powerful negative energy monster—Black Zhang Lexuan and Black Keqing, who also possess the combat power of a Title Douluo.

Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen's martial soul was suppressed by Hei Jinxi's Time Dragon and Hei Guyue's Silver Dragon. In addition, the Death Dragon Polyces, which could also suppress him, caused him to be severely injured before he could exert half of his strength.

Sword Douluo endured a direct hit from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Holy Spear Bloom," ultimately losing an arm before narrowly escaping death.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi brought Sword Douluo to Lu Jingming and proposed to exchange a portion of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's property within the Heaven Dou Empire for Lu Jingming to repair Sword Douluo's arm.

After Lu Jingming took over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's assets, the Jade Pavilion instantly rose to become one of the top merchant guilds in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Moreover, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe backing it up, and the three major elemental academies not to be trifled with, naturally no one dared to covet the Jade Pavilion.

After this battle, the entire Heavenly Dou Empire was filled with fear and unease.

Some nobles have already packed their bags, ready to flee Heaven Dou City at any time. Under such a tense situation, who would still have the mind to hold a Soul Master Competition?
The Heaven Dou Empire, having suffered a crushing defeat, did consider seeking help from the Spirit Hall, but unfortunately, the Spirit Hall itself was now deeply mired in difficulties.

The Black Crimson Kite put immense pressure on the Spirit Hall, even prompting Qian Daoliu to consider recalling Qian Renxue and having her undergo the Divine Trial ahead of schedule.

Apart from the Heavenly Dou Empire, the situation within the Star Luo Empire was slightly better, as there were no such powerful taints, but it was also struggling to clean up the taints.

Left with no other option, the Heavenly Dou Empire could only dispatch troops to clear out the negative energy monsters on the outskirts in order to suppress the expansion of the filth.

As long as you don't venture deep into the filth, you won't be attacked by those powerful clones, which is the only good news amidst all the bad news lately.

Although this approach only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause—as long as the core of the filth is not eliminated, the filth will continue to expand—the Heavenly Dou Empire has no other choice.

They had already launched an attack with their top forces, and if they hadn't evacuated in time, they would have been completely wiped out.

Moreover, the filth is constantly growing stronger, and no one knows how powerful it will become in the future.

Therefore, the only thing the Heavenly Dou Empire can do right now is to suppress the spread of the tainted points as much as possible, while preparing to abandon Heavenly Dou City.

By this time, Lu Jingming had already decided to return to Haiyuan City.

He initially came to this parallel world's Douluo Continent just to watch the Soul Master Competition and join in the fun.

But now it seems that this idea has failed.

Even if the Soul Master Competition continues, Tang San probably won't participate.

After all, his father, Tang Hao, was on the verge of death, so he had no mind to participate in the competition. At this moment, he was hiding with Tang Hao in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, racking his brains to find a way to expel the death power of the Black Butterfly.

Without Tang San's participation, the Soul Master Competition lost its appeal for Lu Jingming, and his interest waned considerably.

Lu Jingming then bid farewell to Shui Bing'er and the others, leaving Alicia in this world, and returned home.

Back in the alternate dimension where Qianjie Yicheng was, he casually patted the head of the black tower puppet guarding Qianjie Yicheng, and quickly made his escape before it could pull out the crystal hammer from under its skirt.

"You bastard, you have an annoying aura about you!" As soon as Lu Jingming left the alternate dimension, Mebius suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

She frowned and looked Lu Jingming up and down.

"You summoned her?" Although Mebius asked the question in a questioning tone, judging from her expression, she clearly already had the answer in her heart.

Lu Jingming's lips twitched slightly. Just how deep must his "cooking skills" be? He had only just returned when Möbius found him by following his scent.

"Damn Lovegate! Oh, me too, then it's alright." He muttered to himself.

"You've come at the right time. Here, this is a gift she asked me to bring you." Lu Jingming smiled and took out a pink dress from his storage soul tool.

Judging from the size of the skirt, it fits Möbius perfectly.

When Möbius saw the pink dress, his lips twitched, and he said through gritted teeth, "Keep it for yourself."

After saying that, she turned and left, but Lu Jingming keenly noticed a fleeting smile on her face.

"You say one thing but do another, Snake, being a tsundere isn't fashionable anymore!" Lu Jingming shook his head helplessly.

Mebius was clearly happy inside, but he insisted on putting on a disgusted look.

She probably guessed that Alicia was in a parallel world, but she wasn't in a hurry to meet Alicia.

For her, knowing that Alicia had also come to this world was enough.

Upon returning to St. Freya Academy, Lu Jingming immediately spotted Jingliu sitting alone in the pavilion, holding a pot of wine in his hand.

Lu Jingming stepped forward, snatched the wine pot from Jingliu's hand without hesitation, and, not caring about the indirect kiss, drank directly from the spout.

Jingliu's fingers twitched slightly as he barely suppressed the urge to draw his sword.

Although she didn't care about things like indirect kissing, this disciple was really audacious, making no attempt to hide his intention to 'betray his master and destroy his ancestors'.

Compared to him, Jing Yuan was a respectful and good disciple, even though he once tried to kill her when she fell into demonic possession.

“Teacher, drinking alone is so boring. I’ll keep you company,” Lu Jingming said, wiping the wine stains from the corner of his mouth.

Although he doesn't particularly enjoy drinking, it must be admitted that Jingliu has excellent taste.

“By the age standards of this world, you are still a minor!” Jingliu said, taking back the wine jug.

This wine jug is a soul-guided artifact; it can not only hold a large amount of fine wine, but also has the magical effect of enhancing the quality of the wine.

This soul tool with special functions naturally came from the Black Tower.

Of course, this was something Lu Jingming had begged and pleaded with Black Tower to create, specifically as a tribute to Jingliu.

However, the way Lu Jingming and Heita interact is quite peculiar. Sometimes Lu Jingming asks Heita for help, and sometimes Heita asks Lu Jingming for help instead.

Neither of them cared much about saving face, and they seemed to be secretly competing with each other. Once one of them asked the other for a favor, the other would try every means to make the other ask for a favor in return.

This unique way of getting along has become a kind of game between them.

"Teachers, it's so nice to have you all with me!" Lu Jingming rarely drinks alcohol, so his alcohol tolerance is naturally not very high.

At this moment, he did not use his soul power to dispel the effects of the alcohol, letting the tipsy feeling spread.

Jingliu's lips curled up slightly. She had drunk much more wine than Lu Jingming, yet she showed no signs of drunkenness.

Given the physique of the Celestial Race of the Immortal Boat, even without using soul power to neutralize it, this amount of alcohol would be insufficient to get her drunk.

She was not like a certain victorious general with a low alcohol tolerance but a strong addiction, nor was she a "newbie" like Lu Jingming who rarely drank.

Although Lu Jingming was somewhat drunk, he was still fairly clear-headed, and his words came from the bottom of his heart.

Only in front of older sisters like Jingliu or Changli can he show his truest self.

Being a stranger in a foreign land, as a time traveler, he always felt a sense of alienation and lack of belonging to this world.

If he hadn't been able to summon Jingliu and the others here with his real authority, he couldn't imagine what he would have become. Would he have become someone he wouldn't even recognize, someone like "I don't eat beef"? Although he couldn't be considered a purely good person now, he still held onto his principles.

The robin and others who were summoned along with him, with their ideals and kindness, constantly restrained him, preventing him from completely losing his humanity.

Take this experiment in the parallel world, for example. If it weren't for the presence of the Great Tree King and the Thunder God, why would he have gone to the trouble of giving those who died because of the filth a second life?

To outsiders, it may seem fake, but to those involved, it is the real life they have experienced.

Even if they knew it was all fake, many people would probably still be willing to indulge in it and convince themselves otherwise.

Fueled by alcohol, Lu Jingming grew increasingly daring.

He walked up to Jingliu, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the black cloth covering Jingliu's eyes.

"Teacher, now that you've gotten rid of the torment of the 'ghost body,' why are you still wearing this blindfold?"

Lu Jingming asked, and whether it was intentional or due to the alcohol, he actually said "cute yin body" instead of "demon yin body".

Jing Liu's lips twitched slightly. He wanted to correct Lu Jingming's slip of the tongue, but seeing that Lu Jingming was already drunk, he was too lazy to argue and simply replied, "I'm used to it."

"Can I take it off?" Lu Jingming asked tentatively.

"Whatever." Jing Liu said calmly. She had been wearing this eye mask for so long that she was used to it and it didn't affect her daily life. So even though the demonic body had been removed, she still didn't take it off and kept wearing it.

With Jingliu's permission, Lu Jingming carefully reached out and slowly removed the black blindfold.

When Lu Jingming saw Jingliu's beautiful red eyes, a hint of infatuation flashed in his eyes.

The combination of white hair and red eyes was just as alluring to him as Alicia's charm.

"Teacher, your eyes are so beautiful." Lu Jingming praised the eyes, but his gaze couldn't help but fall on Jing Liu's peerless face.

A look of helplessness appeared in Jingliu's eyes. She had long known that this disciple harbored ulterior motives towards her, and now, fueled by alcohol, he made no attempt to hide it.

I should never have let him drink.

Suddenly, taking advantage of Jingliu's unpreparedness, Lu Jingming lunged forward, attempting a sneak attack.

Jing Liu was incredibly perceptive; his gaze instantly sharpened, and an invisible burst of energy suddenly erupted, sweeping out like a surging storm.

Lu Jingming flew straight out like a cannonball, crashing into and shattering a rockery.

This sudden shock caused his effects of the alcohol to dissipate completely in an instant.

Lu Jingming lay among the rubble, staring blankly at the clear blue sky. He subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

If he wasn't mistaken, he seemed to have touched something soft, though only for a brief moment, but he was convinced his senses were correct.

This sneak attack was, in some ways, a failure, but it seems to have yielded some "gains".

As footsteps drew closer, a figure blocked his view and the sunlight.

"Xiao Ming, you're getting bolder and bolder. Aren't you afraid that your teacher will really chop you up with a sword?" Zhang Lexuan squatted down and gently brushed the dust off Lu Jingming's face, her eyes full of smiles.

"The teacher can't bear to part with it."

Lu Jingming smiled slightly. He had already noticed that Jingliu had left and clearly did not want to see his audacious disciple anytime soon.

"You, I'm afraid you've been planning this for a long time, but unfortunately you still failed in the end." Zhang Lexuan playfully tapped Lu Jingming's forehead with her finger.

She witnessed the entire process of Lu Jingming's sneak attack on Jingliu, and in her opinion, Lu Jingming's sneak attack was unsuccessful.

"It's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities, and besides, there's you, Sister Lexuan." Lu Jingming said with a carefree smile, and then suddenly pulled Zhang Lexuan into his arms.

Before she could speak, he cut her off.

After all, the two hadn't seen each other for a while, and Zhang Lexuan was very cooperative. They had already experienced more intimate things together, so naturally they didn't feel shy.

A few minutes later, the two separated. Zhang Lexuan was slightly out of breath, her hair a little disheveled.

Lu Jingming licked his lips, stood up, cupped Zhang Lexuan's cheeks in his hands, looked into her slightly dazed eyes, and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Sister Lexuan, in two more years, I'll be able to devour you."

He emphasized the word "eat" when he said it.

In two more years, his body will be fully developed, and then he will have no more worries.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient, after all, there was more than just Zhang Lexuan's dish waiting for him to taste.

Zhang Lexuan's face flushed slightly as she nestled gently in Lu Jingming's arms, feeling a sense of anticipation in her heart as well.

After all, she had been waiting for a long time.

The two lingered for a moment, then noticed someone approaching. After all, the commotion had been quite loud, and someone had come to investigate.

So the two got up and left. As for the artificial mountain that Lu Jingming had smashed, the academy would take care of it.

"Boom!" On the training ground of St. Freya Academy, Meng Hongchen retreated rapidly like lightning, barely dodging the powerful blow.

However, the hard rocky ground was not spared. The long, beautiful legs, clad in gold high heels, slammed down, unleashing a tremendous force that created a violent shockwave. The ground instantly cracked like a spiderweb before shattering, forming a shocking crater.

"Clang!" The ice-blue twin swords struggled to block the golden spear, but Meng Hongchen's expression grew increasingly grim.

Her hands trembled uncontrollably, barely able to hold onto the two swords. Under the impact of this immense force, she was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Just as she was about to steady herself, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

In that instant, she had a sudden inspiration. She pretended to be weak and helpless, and fell from mid-air without any warning.

If she were to actually fall, even with her strength, she would probably have to stay in bed for a while.

However, she was certain that someone would catch her.

Sure enough, a figure appeared behind her in an instant and firmly embraced her slender waist.

“Miss Meng, it’s not good to joke about your own health,” Lu Jingming said with a hint of helplessness.

How could he not see through Meng Hongchen's fact that she was fully capable of landing safely? She just pretended to be powerless after seeing him, a gesture that was truly inappropriate for the occasion.

"I knew you would catch me." Meng Hongchen stared straight at Lu Jingming, her face beaming with joy and happiness.

"Crunch!" Just then, a screeching sound of teeth grinding came from the side.

Lu Jingming and Meng Hongchen turned around at the sound, only to see Xiao Hongchen staring at them with a dark face and no words.

"Hey, brother-in-law, you're here too." Upon seeing this, Lu Jingming immediately greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Who is your brother-in-law, Lu Jingming? You bastard, I will never agree to this!" Upon hearing Lu Jingming's address, Xiao Hongchen instantly lost his composure and jumped up and down in anger, cursing loudly.

He didn't have a good impression of Lu Jingming to begin with, but his younger sister was determined to give herself to him, and what's worse, his grandfather even supported her, which made him feel really helpless.

"Next! Are you coming?"

At this moment, on the training field, the blonde girl who had just knocked Meng Hongchen away held a golden spear and pointed it at Lu Jingming, her eyes full of undisguised provocation.

"Forget it, if I make you cry, you'll just go and complain to Gu Yue again." Lu Jingming shook his head with a smile.

"You...!" The blonde girl's face immediately turned red with shame and anger, so angry that she wished she could immediately pick up a gun and stab a hole in Lu Jingming's body.

"I'll do it." Just as the blonde girl was about to object, Ji Juechen, carrying an iron sword, strode onto the training ground.

His eyes were filled with burning fighting spirit as he looked at the blonde girl, and his sword intent emanated from his body as if it were a tangible force.

The blonde girl keenly sensed the sharp sword intent, and her expression instantly turned serious.

She had been at St. Freya Academy for some time and was familiar with Ji Juechen's strength, knowing that the person before her was a formidable opponent.

Looking at the blonde girl and Ji Juechen who were already locked in battle on the training field, Lu Jingming fell into deep thought, ignoring Meng Hongchen who was clinging to him and refusing to get off.

The blonde girl's name is Wang Qiu'er, and it was actually given to her by Lu Jingming.

Of course, to save himself trouble, he simply used the name that the girl was originally destined to have.

That's right, this young girl is none other than the Imperial Beast.

After Lu Jingming and Gu Yue returned from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, Gu Yue went back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Upon seeing the Imperial Beast, Gu Yue keenly sensed something amiss.

She discovered that the Imperial Beast was actually attached to a wisp of divine consciousness that did not belong to it, and the beast also possessed a divine weapon—the Golden Dragon Spear.

It should be noted that the Golden Dragon Spear, like Gu Yue's Silver Dragon Spear, is a divine artifact associated with the Golden Dragon King. Since the Golden Dragon King is sealed in the realm of gods, the origin of the Golden Dragon Spear is self-evident.

Adding to the fragments of divine consciousness that had completely merged with the auspicious beast's soul, Gu Yue instantly realized that someone was secretly plotting against the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

Despite her suspicions, Gu Yue immediately informed Lu Jingming, choosing to rely on the man she had chosen.

Lu Jingming did not disappoint her, as he knew the identity of the person who plotted against the Imperial Beast.

Wang Qiu'er
