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

Chapter 247 Thunder Meiyi
Within Lu Jingming's body, the band of soul power began to spin wildly, its speed increasing rapidly, as if forming a massive vortex of soul power.

Finally, at the center of this vortex of soul power, a crystal-clear object slowly took shape.

The crystals shimmered with a lustrous glow, like a rare treasure.

Upon closer inspection, a miniature Black Abyss Spear can be faintly seen within the crystal.

That was his martial spirit projection. When this spear reached its peak, it would become his companion weapon.

Once he succeeds in becoming a god, this spear will become his divine weapon.

This artifact is completely different from artifacts forged later in life. It has great growth potential and will continue to evolve as Lu Jingming grows, with almost no limits.

In other words, the Black Abyss White Flower that grew alongside him is very likely to surpass the original Black Abyss White Flower and become an even more powerful weapon.

Moreover, because it is a companion weapon, it is perfectly suited to Lu Jingming, as if it were a part of his body, allowing it to exert its power more effectively.

Lu Jingming meditated quietly, focusing on the wondrous changes occurring in his body and martial spirit.

He knew that condensing a soul core meant he was no longer an ordinary human being. Both his life form and lifespan were vastly different from those of ordinary humans.

However, Lu Jingming was not particularly concerned about the extra hundred years of lifespan; he valued the evolution of his martial spirit and the transformation of his physical body more.

Now that he has broken through to become a Soul Saint and successfully condensed his first Soul Core, Lu Jingming's combat power has once again undergone a qualitative transformation.

At this point, even Title Douluos could no longer pose a real threat to him, and even Super Douluos could hardly cause him much trouble.

The only one who can threaten him is probably the Limit Douluo.

But even so, it's just a threat.

In this era, his strength was far beyond what was expected. Compared to Huo Yuhao, who was also a Soul Saint in the original work and had condensed his first Soul Core, he was much stronger.

"Speaking of which, I've already broken through to the Soul Saint level. There are still two years until the next Soul Master Competition held by the Sun Moon Empire. At my current cultivation speed, I'm probably not far from breaking through to the Soul Douluo level, let alone the Soul Douluo level. Is it still necessary to participate? Wouldn't that be bullying people?" Lu Jingming thought with a strange expression.

After condensing the soul core, the soul core will operate automatically, constantly improving his cultivation level.

Furthermore, Haiyuan City possesses abundant cultivation resources, so by the time the next Soul Master Competition is held, he might actually break through to the Soul Douluo level.

Moreover, with his help, Jinxi, Xiadie, and the others will surely condense their first soul core and become soul saints.

Given their current roster and strength, it would indeed be somewhat unfair for St. Freya Academy to participate in the Soul Master Competition in Mingdu.

If the other contestants saw their lineup, they would probably be heartbroken.

"Forget it, with the Holy Grail War already underway, it's uncertain whether the Sun Moon Empire will even hold the Soul Master Competition anymore. At worst, we can just have Wang Qiu'er lead the team to participate." Lu Jingming shook his head, no longer dwelling on the matter.

He's really not that interested in these kinds of matches where it's like stomping on weaker opponents anymore.

Moreover, the current Haiyuan City is no longer what it used to be, and no longer needs the title of Soul Master Competition champion to enhance its influence.

Having this championship is certainly good, but not having it is irrelevant to Haiyuan City.

Unbeknownst to them, he and Haiyuan City had grown into behemoths, exerting a terrifying influence on the entire Douluo Continent.

If his parents, who passed away at a young age, could see this scene, they would surely feel immense comfort.

Although he cannot fulfill his filial duties to his parents in this world, he can carry on the Lu family bloodline and make it flourish.

Just as Lu Jingming broke through to the Soul Saint realm and successfully condensed his first Soul Core, he keenly sensed something amiss.

He subconsciously raised his hand, his gaze falling on the holy mark. Above it, a bright red mark suddenly appeared, shimmering with a mysterious red light.

"Good grief, am I the second one?"

Upon seeing the red mark, Lu Jingming, as the initiator of the Holy Grail War, would naturally recognize the Command Seals he had designed.

At first, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind, but he quickly realized what was going on.

After all, he had been helping Douluo Star to become stronger all along, and in a sense, he had basically replaced Huo Yuhao as the chosen one of destiny in this world.

Therefore, it seems reasonable that he was able to possess this good fortune and be chosen as the Master.

However, Lu Jingming also knew in his heart that the amount of luck one had was not the same as the order in which one was chosen.

Otherwise, Bai Xiuxiu, the fourth-generation heroine, would never have been chosen as the first Master. "Perfect, let's do a gacha pull and try my luck!"

Lu Jingming suddenly became interested.

In his past life, when he played pay-to-win mobile games, his favorite part was drawing cards. That anticipation and excitement for the unknown surged into his heart again, as if it was time to test his "bloodline" once more.

Although he had no intention of actually participating in the Holy Grail War, since he even had the Holy Grail himself crafted by the Black Tower, that didn't stop him from joining in the fun.

Summoning Servants doesn't necessarily mean getting involved in war; simply enjoying the fun of summoning is also a good option.

He was somewhat looking forward to seeing who he could extract from that vast memory bank.

Based on his preferences, he hopes to draw characters such as Kiana, Yomi, Fryna, Ayaka Kamisato, Katya, Guardian, Kurumi, Theresa, Skadi, and so on.

However, since the rules only allow one choice, it all comes down to luck.

Regardless of who he ultimately draws, he is determined to materialize it after the Holy Grail War ends.

In addition, he will also materialize the victor of the Holy Grail War, helping him to achieve reality.

"Come on, let's kill it in one shot!" Lu Jingming accepted the invitation from the Holy Grail without hesitation.

Instantly, the Holy Grail mechanism activated, and a blood-red summoning circle slowly unfolded in the Black Tower's laboratory.

The magic circle emitted a mysterious light and was connecting with the planet's ley lines.

With the successful connection between the magic array and the earth's veins, the planet's negative energy was guided out and began to slowly condense into a memory in a peculiar and indescribable way.

"Wow, the Golden Legend!" Lu Jingming exclaimed with delight as he saw the faint golden light shimmering within the magic circle.

To add some fun, he deliberately added some seemingly unnecessary but actually interesting features to the Holy Grail, and the summoning effect was one of them.

Based on his assessment of the rarity of the characters in his memories, he categorized the summoned memories into three levels: gold, purple, and blue.

Although this classification cannot fully and accurately represent the power difference between the summoned memories, after all, some of the characters he classified as blue are also not to be underestimated.

For example, many of the Heroic Spirits in the Type-Moon universe, or the Operators in Arknights, were assigned to the blue tier by him. However, this does not mean that they are weaker than the gold tier. This is merely a subjective classification made by Lu Jingming based on his own understanding, and can be considered a mechanism purely to satisfy his personal preferences.

Just like now, seeing that dazzling golden light, Lu Jingming's mood instantly soared to the peak of joy.

There are many gold-tier characters, and he feels he can accept whichever one he draws.

Of course, it would be even better if you could draw your favorite waifu (anime character).

Soon, after the light gradually faded, a figure slowly appeared in front of Lu Jingming.

Her purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, a katana was tucked at her waist, and her face bore a striking resemblance to Raiden. These familiar features instantly caught Lu Jingming's eye.

"Yay, it's Huang Quan!" At first, when he saw this familiar appearance, Lu Jingming was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He thought to himself, "Could it be that I really got the best one in one go and drew the top C of the version?"

However, upon closer inspection, he quickly realized that something was wrong.

Why is the color of Huang Quan's clothes different from what I remember?

The person in front of him was wearing armor that was mainly silver-white with black accents, paired with black semi-transparent stockings. This was completely different from the clothing he remembered from Huang Quan, Lei Yingdian, and Raiden Mei.

She clearly has a gentle face like a "housewife", long straight purple hair, and a gorgeous katana at her waist, but this outfit is really something else!
Could it be Mei? But that doesn't seem right either! Lu Jingming froze on the spot, his mind a complete mess.

"You don't seem very satisfied with me?" Just as Lu Jingming was looking bewildered, a mature yet gentle voice rang out, like a spring breeze, yet with a hint of coolness, waking Lu Jingming from his daze.

"Who are you? Aunt Mei!" Upon hearing this mature and gentle voice, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Lu Jingming. He suddenly remembered that there was another version of Mei, dressed exactly like this. That was the mature version of Raiden Mei from Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Whoosh!" Almost instantly, the katana was drawn, its tip crackling with lightning as it pierced towards Lu Jingming, stopping just one centimeter from his nose.

Raiden Mei stared at Lu Jingming with seemingly calm eyes, but with a hint of annoyance in them, her tone clearly questioning: "What did you just call me?"

"Mei! Is something wrong?" Lu Jingming's forehead instantly broke out in a fine sweat as he tried to pretend nothing was wrong and get away with it.

"Never mind, considering your age, it's not wrong for you to call me that!" Raiden Mei suddenly slowly sheathed her long sword, her tone tinged with melancholy.

She was somewhat annoyed. Why was she summoned at this age? She was clearly stronger eight years ago when she hadn't lost most of her power!
