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

Chapter 42: Return to the Star Dou Great Forest

The poor pink-haired fox finally met its "natural enemy".

The two little girls liked it from the bottom of their hearts, but they were young and didn't know how to control their hands and feet, so they often pulled out the little fox's fur.

So now, whenever the pink-haired fox sees the two little lolis, he will run away as if by reflex.

Leisurely and happy times always pass quickly.

There is only half a month left before the 2023rd Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition held by the Tianhun Empire.

During this period, all the soul master academies in the Douluo Continent have been secretly preparing for this top event in the soul master world.

Changli completed the registration for the competition for St. Freya College early on.

The seven members of the college's participating team have also been determined.

Except for Zhang Lexuan and Keqing, the other five members are all students admitted by St. Freya Academy in recent years.

However, these five people have mediocre talents and are destined to have little success on the path of becoming soul masters.

So, they decisively chose to sell themselves to Lu Jingming and underwent fusion warrior surgery.

After this competition, they will bid farewell to St. Freya's College, abandon their original identities, and join the Golden Guard and the Impermanence Department respectively.

However, before that, they must go all out to participate in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition. After all, it is because of this competition that they have obtained the precious opportunity to undergo fusion warrior surgery.

Due to limited resources and the fact that they had not yet made any achievements, they ultimately only underwent Soul Master-level fusion surgery.

But it doesn't matter. They are just supplementary forces. The real main forces are Zhang Lexuan and Keqing.

The two of them practiced diligently in the golden tree of Shrek Academy for a whole year and had already successfully broken through to the Soul Saint realm.

When he returned, with the help of Jingliu, he successfully obtained the seventh soul ring.

In this way, with two powerful Soul Saints leading the team, St. Freya Academy is almost certain to win this competition. With a flying dragon riding on their face, how can they lose?

The Haiyuan was left in Shrek City for Ningguang to use, and the second flying soul guide battleship had not yet been completed.

In desperation, Zhang Lexuan and the others could only rely on flying soul guides to reach the Tianhun Empire.

In addition to the seven participants, the team also included Jing Liu and Lu Jing Ming, making a total of nine people. Oh! We also have to count the pink-haired little fox.

Lu Jingming just needed to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his third soul ring. He was also very curious about this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition and planned to go and watch it.

After all, this is a world-class event, so lively, he doesn't want to miss it.

In fact, Lu Jingming has always been full of desire to explore this world. Previously, his understanding of this world was limited to textual descriptions and lacked real feelings.

Because he is still young, he has never set foot in any other place except Haiyuan City. This time he can take the opportunity to appreciate the charm of Tiandou City.

Because they wanted to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, they had to take a long detour.

But there is still half a month before the opening of the competition, which is still plenty of time for Lu Jingming who only needs to obtain the third soul ring.

At first, Lu Jingming was limited by his thinking and thought that he was the same as the ordinary soul masters in Douluo Continent. The acquisition of soul skills was closely related to the type of soul beast. So when he obtained his first soul ring, he focused on looking for soul beasts with the attributes of destruction and death.

But it was not until he obtained the second soul ring that the Black Tower told him that his Black Abyss White Flower was completely different from other people's martial souls.

Regardless of the attributes of the soul rings absorbed, the soul skills gained are the power contained in the Black Abyss White Flower itself. Absorbing soul rings and improving cultivation is essentially just unlocking the true power of the Black Abyss White Flower.

Therefore, what really determines the strength of his soul skills is not the attributes of the soul beast, but the age of the absorbed soul ring. The higher the age, the stronger the soul skills obtained.

In this way, Lu Jingming no longer needs to go to great lengths to hunt soul beasts with the attributes of death and destruction.

After all, soul beasts of this kind of attributes are extremely rare, and his requirements for the age of the soul rings are quite high.

Take his third soul ring for example. When ordinary soul masters reach the Soul Master realm, most of them only absorb thousand-year soul rings, but he set his sights on the ten-thousand-year soul ring.

In terms of physical fitness, as long as he can endure the severe pain when absorbing the soul ring, he can get through it with the help of the creative power of the white flower.

As for the spiritual level, a flash of red light flashed in Lu Jingming's eyes, which was a manifestation of extremely concentrated mental power.

He has been practicing sword since he was young, and what he learned were not ordinary sword moves. What Jingliu really taught him was to temper his spiritual will into a sharp sword and condense the sword intent.

Once the sword intent is fully developed, no matter what weapon is used, it can exert powerful power.

Although Lu Jingming has not yet mastered the sword skills, his mental strength has increased significantly during the long-term sword practice.

Now, his mental power far exceeds that of spiritual soul masters of the same level.

Because of this, he is still confident about absorbing the soul ring of a ten thousand year soul beast.

There is no need to worry about being killed by the violent soul power, nor is there any need to worry about being hurt by the residual soul of the ten thousand year soul beast.

Although there are other ways to increase the age of soul rings in the later stages, the soul power feedback obtained by absorbing the age of soul rings beyond the level can save him a lot of training time.

After arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhang Lexuan and Keqing led the team to wait outside the forest.

Only Lu Jingming and Jingliu entered the Star Dou Great Forest, and the little fox was left behind to be taken care of by Keqing.

Because the target was a ten thousand year old soul beast, Jing Liu took Lu Jingming directly into the core area.

The soul beasts surviving in the core area are extremely powerful, regardless of age or bloodline.

Even so, finding a soul beast with a cultivation base of about 10,000 years was not an easy task, and it took them a lot of time.

Along the way, they also encountered several soul beasts, but the cultivation levels and years of these soul beasts were too high, far exceeding the upper limit that Lu Jingming could absorb.

At this moment, Jing Liu sensed a soul beast moving rapidly.

This soul beast exudes the aura of light and fire. It has been cultivating for about 15,000 years, which just meets the conditions for Lu Jingming to absorb it.

After receiving Jing Liu's reminder, black mist filled Lu Jingming's hands, and a pitch-black spear appeared in his hands.

He took a few steady steps forward, came to an open area, and quietly waited for the soul beast to arrive.

A ten thousand year old soul beast has already initially possessed the combat power of a soul king level.

According to common sense, such a powerful opponent is definitely not something that a small Soul Master like Lu Jingming can contend with.

But Lu Jingming was not afraid at all. He was not an ordinary soul master. His strong physical fitness, mental strength far exceeding that of his peers, and the Black Abyss Spear in his hand all gave him the confidence to challenge opponents of higher levels.

In his opinion, it was just a ten thousand year old soul beast, whose intelligence had not yet been fully developed and whose animal nature dominated. How could he be afraid of it?
