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

Chapter 221 The competition ends
Ultimately, the final circle of the PUBG tournament devolved into a fierce and chaotic battlefield.

As the safe zone continued to shrink, all teams were drawn into the battle.

On the narrow battlefield, all sorts of soul skills flew everywhere, and weaker contestants were instantly eliminated.

For example, Ye Lingling from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, although relatively weak, is a crucial healer in the team. Even with San Yueqi's full protection, she was still targeted by multiple enemies and forced to leave the field.

This great battle was chaotic yet full of exciting events.

Long Aotian of the Body Sect, Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall, and Hu Liena and Xie Yue, who used the Spirit Fusion Technique, all demonstrated powerful combat strength close to the level of a Soul Saint, making them extremely dominant on the battlefield.

Compared to the Body Sect and the Spirit Hall chosen by Liu Ying and Xia Die respectively, the alliance formed by Jin Xi and Gu Yue, although outnumbered, was slightly weaker overall.

Liu Ying and the others kept each other in check and refrained from making any rash moves against the teams chosen by the other side.

However, as the battle intensified, Shrek Academy was the first to be eliminated.

Following that, Nan Qiuqiu, Xu Tianzhen, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and others also left the scene one after another.

With their teammates tied down and unable to offer assistance, Jinxi and Guyue had no choice but to withdraw from the match.

The firefly and the butterfly exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's intention—to eliminate the robin and March 7th first.

These two are skilled in support and defense. Even though Wang Qiu'er and the others had previously suffered a fierce bombardment from soul tools, they still managed to hold on until the end with their assistance and protection.

"No way, you two are so uncivilized!" March 7th looked on in astonishment as he looked at Firefly and Butterfly blocking his way.

The Spirit Hall and the Body Sect worked in perfect harmony, launching a joint attack on Wang Qiu'er and her companions.

Even though the Robin's ability boosted Wang Qiu'er and the others' strength by a level, they were still in poor condition after going through many battles and being bombarded by a level seven soul tool.

Under these circumstances, Robin and March 7 were successfully contained, and St. Freya Academy's second team unfortunately lost.

"That's fine, at least it won't ruin Ah Ming's plan." Robin shook her head helplessly.

She knew in her heart that Lu Jingming's intention in organizing this PUBG tournament was not to let the people of St. Freya Academy win the championship.

After all, if they participated in the competition themselves, the outcome of the championship would be a foregone conclusion.

Even if St. Freya Academy's second team wins, it's essentially no different from them winning the championship themselves.

These 100,000-year-old soul bones and 100,000-year-old holy marks were not originally prepared for them, but were part of Lu Jingming's World Tree Project.

So, Firefly made the wrong choice this time.

The robin looked at the firefly and shook its head again.

While it's not impossible for the Body Sect to win the championship, Lu Jingming clearly hopes that the Spirit Hall will take the title.

In this light, it seems that Xia Die, who usually appears unassuming and unassuming, is the one who truly understands Lu Jingming's thoughts.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have directly sought to collaborate with Qian Renxue.

Unlike Xia Die, who stayed at St. Freya Academy, Robin, March 7, and Firefly were outside the academy and did not have a deep understanding of Lu Jingming's plans, which led to their failure.

As expected, after eliminating Robin, March 7, Wang Qiu'er, and others, Firefly decisively unleashed her sixth soul skill, "Super Starfall," intending to also eliminate the Spirit Hall.

At this point, the final circle was extremely small, with only a few dozen meters in radius remaining outside the safe zone.

Faced with the incredibly powerful meteor kick from Liu Ying, no one could hide and had to take the hit head-on.

As a massive shockwave of fire swept outwards, everyone was subjected to the baptism of the high-temperature explosion.

To ensure the Body Sect's ultimate victory, Liu Ying specifically reminded Long Aotian to hide at the very edge so that he could survive until the end.

Her main targets were Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and others.

However, as the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, things did not go as Firefly had hoped.

Long Aotian survived thanks to his activated soul skill "Undying Golden Body" and the invincible golden body shield.

Surprisingly, the members of the Spirit Hall were also unharmed.

Looking at the dark purple aura surrounding Qian Renxue and the others, as well as the countless dark butterflies fluttering in the sky, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Seeing this, Lu Jingming, who was watching from the sidelines, shook his head helplessly.

Although Liu Ying and the others knew Xia Die quite well, they were unaware that she possessed an extremely powerful ability—to grant her teammates immunity to one death.

Given Xia Die's personality, she would neither deliberately hide it nor bring it up on her own initiative.

In addition, since the people around her have not usually encountered near-death situations, only Xia Die and Lu Jingming know about this ability.

Thus, Liu Ying miscalculated; her original plan to clear the field instead handed the championship to the Spirit Hall.

With Long Aotian being defeated by Qian Renxue and Hu Liena and Xie Yue, who transformed into demons using their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the first PUBG tournament in the simulated universe officially came to a close. Lu Jingming was very satisfied with the results of the competition.

He hoped the Spirit Hall would win from the beginning, because only if the Spirit Hall obtained the 100,000-year-old soul bone and the 100,000-year-old holy mark could they maximize their effectiveness.

Lu Jingming was well aware of the Spirit Hall's situation; it was impossible for both the Holy Mark and the Soul Bone to be handed over to Bibi Dong.

Given Bibi Dong's situation, she would definitely choose the 100,000-year-old soul bone, while the holy mark would be handed over to Qian Renxue.

After obtaining the 100,000-year-old soul bone, Bibi Dong was able to further advance the Rakshasa God Trial, shorten the time to become a god, and thus have enough power to cleanse the increasingly powerful filth and "work" for Lu Jingming.

Qian Renxue will refine the 100,000-year-old sacred mark, and her own strength will be significantly enhanced.

Coupled with the threat of the filth, Qian Daoliu will inevitably make Qian Renxue undergo the divine test ahead of time, and in this way, the Angel God will also appear in the world ahead of schedule.

With two deities in charge, even though they had only recently become gods, they were able to suppress the ever-growing corruption and prevent the situation from worsening.

After all, Lu Jingming's goal was to help the planet evolve, not to actually let the filth destroy the world.

If that's really the idea, wouldn't it be simpler to just release unfiltered Honkai energy?
After all, with the Honkai energy filtering mechanism that has become stronger along with the development of civilization, destroying the world is not difficult.

Moreover, civilization is not just about technological civilization; isn't cultivating one's own civilization also a form of civilization?
How can a civilization that lacks technology but possesses strong individual and collective strength not be considered a civilization?

The more cultivators there are, the stronger they become, and the more prosperous the cultivation civilization becomes, the stronger the power of collapse should also be, right?

Of course, Lu Jingming wouldn't create an Endless Cocoon for no reason.

After all, given the high value of the Cocoon of the End, the amount of real power consumed to materialize it is probably no less than that consumed by directly summoning a messenger.

Lu Jingming plans to make the PUBG tournament an annual event.

Of course, he has no intention of competing again.

This competition is not only a boost to the overall strength of the planet, but also an opportunity to expand the influence of the simulated universe.

After this competition, everyone will surely pay more attention to simulated universes.

As long as the simulated universe continues to expand its influence until every civilian can enter it, Lu Jingming will be able to reap the greatest benefits.

At that time, the rewards such as the 100,000-year-old soul bone will become insignificant.

As the competition came to an end, looking at the slightly disappointed Liu Ying and the equally sullen San Yue Qi, Lu Jingming smiled and said, "It's alright, it's just a loss. How about this, I promise to grant each of you one wish, okay? Of course, Xia Die can have two wishes."

"Really!" Upon hearing this, March 7th's spirits lifted instantly, and her previously dim eyes regained their brilliance. Firefly also blinked her bright eyes and looked at Lu Jingming with surprise.

"Of course, Xia Die, you don't have any objections, do you?" Lu Jingming nodded, then turned his gaze to Xia Die and asked.

After all, Xia Die was the ultimate winner of this competition, so he naturally had to ask for her opinion.

Xia Die gently shook her head. What could she possibly object to? Originally, one wish had now become two; she was overjoyed.

"Yay, Xia Die, you're amazing!" March 7th cheered excitedly, instinctively wanting to rush over and give Xia Die a warm hug.

Fortunately, Lu Jingming reacted quickly, grabbing March 7's collar and pulling her back in time.

If March 7th and Xia Die were to actually hug, given Xia Die's special constitution, March 7th would suffer a great loss even if he didn't die.

March 7, who had been pulled back by Lu Jingming, suddenly remembered Xia Die's special constitution. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and then looked at Lu Jingming with gratitude.

If Lu Jingming hadn't pulled her back, she probably would have really suffered. Just thinking about the feeling of death is unbearable.

"Come find me again when you've decided what your wishes are." After saying this, Lu Jingming exited the simulated universe.

Watching Lu Jingming's figure gradually disappear, Robin turned to March 7th and Firefly and said, "We should go back too."

"Of course, I'm waiting to go back and ask A-Ming to fulfill my wish!" March 7 said with anticipation, clearly thinking about what kind of wish she wanted to ask Lu Jingming to grant.

After all, Lu Jingming, who possesses real authority, is indeed capable of fulfilling wishes as long as his real power is sufficient.

The firefly and the robin exchanged a knowing glance and smiled, but said nothing.

In their view, the Little March is really not competitive and there is absolutely no need to be wary of it.

"Black Tower, I'm thinking of revising the plan."

Lu Jingming went straight to the Black Tower after leaving the simulated universe, and at the same time awakened the Great Kindness Tree King and Thunder True, and then expressed his thoughts.

After conducting experiments in a parallel world, he increasingly felt that the World Tree Project was still very crude, with unexpected situations occurring frequently.

It was as if he had never anticipated that the planet's will would act on its own, actively gathering a large amount of negative energy, causing the intensity of the tainted points to exceed expectations, bringing great pressure to the Soul Master world.
