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

Chapter 23 Carving the cat

Hearing the change in Yan Shaozhe's way of addressing Jing Liu, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise and looked at her teacher in disbelief.

She really couldn't understand why the usually proud teacher suddenly changed his attitude so much.

But Yan Shaozhe had no time to pay attention to the gaze cast by Ma Xiaotao. He still lowered his head slightly, maintaining a humble posture, and his tone was full of sincerity.

Lu Jingming, who was standing by, saw this scene and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

All of this was actually within his calculations. He intended to let Jingliu show his powerful strength.

After all, two years have passed, and Jingliu's strength has reached a higher level compared to two years ago.

In his opinion, the stronger Jingliu's performance was, the more absolute initiative they would have in the negotiations with Shrek Academy, and the more benefits they would gain from Shrek Academy.

"You guys negotiate the terms, and I'll make the move later."

Jing Liu was obviously not interested in these trivial matters of bargaining. She had a cold expression and said this lightly without saying anything else.

When Yan Shaozhe heard this, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his originally tense face.

In his opinion, as long as the other party is willing to sit down and negotiate terms, it means that there is still hope and everything can be negotiated.

Yan Shaozhe's gaze slowly turned to Lu Jingming. Although the boy in front of him was still young and immature, he was the lord of Haiyuan City after all. From Jingliu's attitude towards him, it was not difficult to see that Lu Jingming could not be treated as just an ordinary child.

Seeing this, Lu Jingming spread his hands helplessly, then looked at Changli who was slowly walking towards him.

"Dean Yan, let me discuss the specific matters with you. Please come this way."

Changli had a gentle smile on his face, walked lightly, and spoke in a leisurely and relaxed tone.

Yan Shaozhe narrowed his eyes, then smiled and said, "Obedience is worse than respect!"

He was prepared for heavy bleeding. Judging from Chang Li's temperament, he knew that this phoenix-like woman was not easy to deal with.

However, for Ma Xiaotao, as long as it does not endanger Shrek Academy, paying some price is within his acceptable range.

Without any hesitation, he followed the leader away, as if he had forgotten his disciple.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but open her mouth, speechless.

But she soon realized that this was a good opportunity to get back at him. She looked at Lu Jingming provocatively, raised her chin and said, "It's boring just waiting like this. How about we have a soul battle?"

In Douluo Continent, fighting spirits is an extremely popular activity. Simply put, it is a battle between spirit masters.

Many soul masters are keen to go to the fighting arena to participate in the fighting. On the one hand, it is to hone their own combat skills and make themselves continue to grow in actual combat. On the other hand, it is also one of the effective ways to improve their strength.

Compared to fighting with ferocious soul beasts, fighting with souls is relatively safer. Most regular fighting arenas will have powerful masters in charge to maintain order, and explicitly prohibit participants from killing their opponents.

Both sides of a fighting spirit will mostly abide by the agreement and stop when the time is right. Although there will inevitably be some accidental deaths in the battles between spirit masters, overall, the mortality rate is not high.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao proposed a soul battle, obviously wanting to take this opportunity to teach Lu Jingming a lesson and let him know how powerful he was. Lu Jingming couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this. He knew very well that he was just a great soul master, while Ma Xiaotao was a true soul master. To fight her soul was just asking for trouble.

Although he had been practicing swordsmanship with Jingliu since he was young and his swordsmanship skills were quite advanced, actual combat was different from simple swordsmanship after all.

He was a homebody in his previous life, and he rarely had any experience of fierce fighting with others in this life. Although he did have combat experience, it was not rich at all, not to mention that he was only eight years old.

"If you want to fight with your spirit, I'll accompany you."

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan walked forward slowly with elegant steps, holding the cute pink-haired little fox.

She looked at Ma Xiaotao calmly, with a faint smile on her delicate face.

Ma Xiaotao first looked at Lu Jingming, then turned her gaze to Zhang Lexuan and said thoughtfully, "Okay, let's have a demonstration."

She looked Zhang Lexuan up and down, thinking that she looked only a few years older than herself and probably wasn't much stronger.

Moreover, Zhang Lexuan's obvious protection of Lu Jingming just now made her feel inexplicably unhappy, and now she couldn't wait to defeat her in the fighting spirit.

The beach at the seaside is extremely vast, making it the perfect venue for fighting spirits.

Zhang Lexuan gently put down the little fox in her arms, letting it run happily towards a purple-haired girl in the distance, and then turned around and stood opposite Ma Xiaotao.

The sea breeze blew gently, ruffling their hair, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

"You are truly Le Xuan's treasure. For you, she is willing to bully the weak!"

The one who spoke was the purple-haired girl, who was holding the pink-haired little fox in her arms. She looked about the same age as Zhang Lexuan, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Her head was uniquely decorated with a cat head-shaped hair accessory, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a carefully tied double ponytail hairstyle, which made her look playful, cute and lively.

She wore a purple and white dress that cleverly combined the oriental classical charm with modern fashion.

The combination of purple and white complements each other, and the skirt flutters in the wind like a flowing painting.

The combination of black stockings and high heels adds a different kind of charm to her. This seemingly contradictory yet harmonious dressing style is eye-catching and makes people unable to help but take a few more glances.

"Huh? Are you jealous? Cat." Lu Jingming blinked his eyes, with a mischievous smile on his face, and teased deliberately.

"You big-headed ghost, you have no respect for your elders. You should call Keqing sister." Keqing rolled her eyes in annoyance and reached out to gently pinch Lu Jingming's cheek. The action was a little intimate.

Then, she put the eager little fox on Lu Jingming's head. The little fox lay there obediently, looking very cute.

Keqing is a character from the popular mobile game "Genshin Impact". In the game, she is the Yuheng Star of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

In the past two years, he was materialized into this world by Lu Jingming and was responsible for the planning and construction of the entire Haiyuan City.

This stunning sea cliff villa is the work of Keqing. Of course, she is mainly responsible for the planning and design work. Keqing has made an indelible contribution to the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Haiyuan City in the past two years.
