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

Chapter 9: The Fox

In order to build this St. Freya College, Lu Jingming invested a huge amount of money and spent hundreds of millions of gold soul coins.

After all, most of the building materials used by the academy were purchased from the Sun-Moon Empire through special channels.

Especially the mimicry training room, which is expensive, has extremely high technical content and is priceless.

It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of college environment alone, St. Freya College is not inferior to other well-known colleges.

It was a sunny day and Lu Jingming was strolling in the academy holding a pink-haired little fox.

As he walked by the crystal clear lake, he sprinkled some food to feed the tamed golden carp in the lake.

The carps swam happily, competing for food, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake. Then, Lu Jingming came to the pavilion by the lake.

At this time, Jingliu was sitting on the railing of the pavilion, staring quietly at the sparkling lake, his eyes a little absent-minded, as if thinking about something.

Changli and Zhang Lexuan were sitting at the stone table in the pavilion playing chess. Zhang Lexuan had a frown on his face, and it was obvious that he was in trouble and at a disadvantage in the game.

This is normal. After all, the one who taught her how to play chess is Changli, who is playing against her at the moment. Changli is quite accomplished in chess and has done in-depth research.

Lu Jingming walked to Zhang Lexuan and just took a look at the chessboard. He immediately realized that Zhang Lexuan had been forced into a desperate situation. The situation was precarious and there was almost no possibility of a comeback.

Zhang Lexuan reluctantly put down the chess piece in her hand, sighed softly, and said with emotion: "As expected of you, Sister Changli. Compared to you, I am still far behind."

Chang Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and said: "Your chess skills are not weak, it's just that I have studied it for a longer time and have a deeper understanding of the chess game. Compared to some people, you are already quite good." At the end, she looked at Lu Jingming meaningfully.

Lu Jingming suddenly felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously looked away.

Changli had tried to teach him how to play chess, but his mind was not on it at all. He only learned the basic rules. As for his chess skills, it was really hard to talk about.

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She naturally understood who the "certain people" Chang Li was talking about were.

At this moment, Jing Liu had quietly come to Lu Jing Ming's side and said lightly: "It seems that you are ready, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan quickly warned, "Xiao Ming, the choice of your first spirit ring is crucial. You must be careful and pay attention to your safety when you are outside."

In fact, she knew in her heart that with Jingliu by Lu Jingming's side, there was no need to worry about his safety. She was giving such instructions only out of habitual concern.

Changli also smiled and waved, saying with a smile: "Go early and come back early."

She was full of confidence in Jingliu's strength, so she didn't worry at all. The powerful aura and sense of security emanating from Jingliu made everyone feel extremely at ease.

"嘤!" The little fox seemed to realize that Lu Jingming was about to go out, and jumped out of his arms in an instant, landing lightly in Zhang Lexuan's arms.

She didn't want to leave with Lu Jingming. After all, there was no delicious fried tofu to eat outside, so she didn't want to step out of her comfort zone!
Seeing the little fox abandon him without hesitation, Lu Jingming couldn't help but twitch his lips, secretly complaining in his heart: "As expected of you! Son of God, you are really a scumbag to the core. Whoever feeds you is your mother!"

Normally, obtaining the first soul ring is not difficult. According to common sense, you only need to find a soul beast with suitable attributes in a small soul beast forest and hunt it.

However, Lu Jingming's situation was different. The first spirit ring he planned to absorb required a thousand years of age. In ordinary spirit beast forests, thousand-year-old spirit beasts were already rare, and finding one with the attributes he needed was even more difficult.

If you are looking for a larger gathering place for soul beasts, there are not many places to choose from. Haiyuan City is a coastal city of the Xingluo Empire, quietly located at the westernmost part of the empire.

To the north is the border between the Xingluo Empire and the Tianhun Empire, where there is a border city of the Tianhun Empire, Maple Leaf Mansion.

To the west is a vast ocean. By crossing the ocean, you can reach the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire.

To the south is the Mingdou Mountains, the boundary between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

This mountain range is steep and undulating, like a sleeping dragon lying between the two countries.

For many years, this place has been the frontier position where the border guards of the two empires confront each other, and small-scale conflicts have occurred one after another without interruption.

Soldiers from both sides were fighting back and forth, as if they wanted to beat each other's brains out.

To the east is the heart of the Xingluo Empire - Xingluo City. This magnificent capital carries the glory and splendor of the Xingluo Empire for thousands of years.

Starting from Haiyuan City and heading east, crossing Xingluo City, you can reach the Star Dou Great Forest in the center of the continent.

This vast forest is home to countless powerful and mysterious soul beasts. It is the place where soul masters dream of obtaining soul rings.

If it were an ordinary world, Haiyuan City should have had an infinitely bright development prospect due to its unique geographical location.

It has rich marine resources and is close to two major empires. It has unique conditions for conducting trade and cultural exchanges. It seems not difficult to develop on this land.

However, due to various contradictions left over from history, although a large-scale full-scale war has not yet broken out between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, small-scale frictions in the border areas have never stopped.

The border guards of the two empires have been in a long-term standoff in the Mingdou Mountains, with constant conflicts.

This tense situation made it impossible for Haiyuan City to establish normal maritime trade relations with the Sun and Moon Empire.

The neighboring Maple Leaf Mansion of the Tianhun Empire is also facing the same dilemma. The two cities can only rely on the ocean to make a living.

On the Douluo Continent, the number of sea soul beasts far exceeds that of land soul beasts. Most of these sea soul beasts live in groups and are rarely found alone.

Once they appear, they often appear in large groups with great momentum. Therefore, the coastal cities of all the empires on the Douluo Continent are often harassed by sea soul beasts and suffer terribly.

Faced with these ferocious sea soul beasts, the city residents were busy dealing with them and had no time to obtain resources from the ocean to promote the development of the city.

Six years ago, Haiyuan City was a city struggling in dire straits.

It is not valued among the many cities of the Xingluo Empire, and has long suffered from frequent invasions of sea soul beasts, making urban development difficult.

Moreover, this city lacks powerful sects and families, and its overall strength is relatively weak.
