Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 73 Rules? They're meant to be broken! (Together)

Soto City

Inside a hotel, the decor was simple yet elegant. Sunlight streamed through the half-open curtains, casting dappled shadows on the smooth floor.

Having recovered from the power of abundance, Zhu Zhuqing stepped into the room where the blade was. Her steps were firm and powerful, a result of the abundance.

But when she saw the blade with its eyes closed in meditation, her body trembled involuntarily, and she immediately knelt down, the movement so swift that it seemed as if she were propelled by an invisible force.

Her eyes were filled with boundless gratitude and reverence, glistening with tears. Her hands were clenched tightly, her forehead gently touching the ground as she knelt deeply, her voice choked with emotion yet resolute:

"Master, I bow to you!"

edge:"?"

Ren, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was slightly moved by the sudden kneeling. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, clearly surprised by the scene.

He remembered that when he rescued Zhu Zhuqing, he specifically instructed Lan Yinhuang to keep everything simple and only inform Zhu Zhuqing of the necessary matters.

However, the scene before him was clearly far from his expectation of "simplicity".

What's going on here?

Get up.

Ren said in a low voice, stopping her from kowtowing again. He said that it was better to avoid such troublesome rituals if possible.

"Master, when Zhu Qing came, Sister Lan Yin told me everything. I am very willing to accept that power, willing to become your disciple, and like Sister Lan Yin, I will be eternally loyal to you!!"

Through the detailed introduction of the Blue Silver Emperor, Zhu Zhuqing gained a preliminary understanding of the mystery and power of her master's blade, and her heart was filled with awe and longing.

At this moment, every word her master Ren said was like a sacred decree to her, and she was willing to obey it without hesitation.

The words of the Blue Silver Emperor kept echoing in Zhu Zhuqing's mind; those descriptions of the power of abundance overturned her worldview.

Immortality—a power even the gods crave—is now so close to her.

Her heart raced, her blood boiled, and she could almost feel that power flowing through her veins.

It is said that cats have nine lives, but after she followed her master Blade's path and embarked on a life of abundance, that saying can be changed.

She has countless lives! She's truly indestructible! What is there to fear from being hunted down? What is there to fear from the cruel rules of her family?

Moreover, the Blue Silver Emperor also told her that those eight 100,000-year soul rings only accounted for a percent of her master's [complete power]. Not even a fraction of a percent!

What does this mean? Titled Douluo, that's the realm every Soul Master dreams of, the peak that countless people can't reach even after a lifetime of hard work.

But in front of her master, who was so powerful, that awe-inspiring figure was like an ant, easily crushed? This shock caused a storm to rage in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

The words of the Blue Silver Emperor echoed in her ears, telling her that this 100,000-year soul ring was nothing more than a trick to scare ordinary soul masters, a negligible power he was unwilling to use easily when he was unwilling to use that abundant power.

As for why Master Ren was unwilling to use that power frequently, it turned out that he seemed to be suffering from some kind of illness and needed to deliberately suppress it.

And this secret, this important task, was entrusted to her by her master, who needed her help to completely solve this problem.

When Zhu Zhuqing first heard these words, she was incredibly excited, as if a fire had been ignited in her heart.

She originally felt that being accepted as a disciple by such an unparalleled expert as Ren was already an immense honor, like being in a dream. She was always worried that she was not qualified enough and would disappoint her master's expectations.

But now, knowing that she can not only become her master's disciple, but also have the opportunity to help her master, her heart is filled with pride and determination.

She wished she could dedicate her whole being to him, whether it meant going through fire and water or facing thorns and brambles, she was willing to go through it all for her master.

Her eyes shone with unwavering determination—a promise to the future, loyalty to her master, and a steadfast belief in her choices.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing knew in her heart that from the moment she successfully became an apprentice, she was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, reborn from the ashes.

Her life was no longer one of wandering, being hunted, and being manipulated by others. Those dark days were gone forever.

She will gain immortality; she will become an existence that transcends the limits of power in this world; she will personally create her own rules.

This is an unprecedented power, a power that allows her to stand at the top of the world.

"Master!"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was firm and full of emotion.

"Zhu Qing will always be loyal to you. Whether it's for saving my life or for teaching me, I'm willing to do anything for you!"

Her eyes shone with unwavering determination, a loyalty and gratitude that came from the depths of her soul.

Ren closed his eyes and sighed softly. He remembered that Zhu Zhuqing was a cold person who did not easily show her emotions, but her behavior today was unusually abnormal.

It seems that the Blue Silver Emperor's description of him has deified him to an unimaginable degree, to the point that even the usually calm and taciturn Zhu Zhuqing could not completely suppress the shock in her heart.

Without further thought, Ren remained expressionless as always, but his bandaged right hand slowly opened, revealing an item in his palm that would enable Zhu Zhuqing to become a traveler of abundant destiny.

The prop transformed into a soft, pale green light, while also carrying the unique crimson aura of the blade, slowly enveloping Zhu Zhuqing.

The halo was as gentle as flowing water and as fiery as flames. It flowed around Zhu Zhuqing, as if it were baptizing her and opening a path to a new life for her.

"Close your eyes."

The sound of the blade was deep and powerful, piercing the silence of the room.

"Feel Him."

"Have faith in Him."

Blade's words seemed to carry a mysterious magic.

Zhu Zhuqing obediently replied:

"Um!"

Her voice betrayed a hint of nervousness and anticipation. Then she closed her eyes, her breathing gradually becoming steady, and she immersed herself completely in this mysterious fusion.

Under the watchful eyes of Blade and Blue Silver Emperor, the classic purple color scheme on Zhu Zhuqing's body began to change.

The green and red hues, like a brand, slowly seeped into her skin, becoming completely one with her.

The two colors intertwined on her body, forming a strange pattern, like the work of nature or a reproduction of ancient runes.

Seeing this scene, Ren couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He was both amazed and moved by the fact that he had come to this continent and actually become the abundant star god here.

But he knew that he was not the true Abundant Star God of the Collapsed World.

After all, both the abundant power he is currently embodying and the power he has given to Zhu Zhuqing and the Blue Silver Emperor come from the highest dimension, from the most bug-like system in the world.

However, the power of the Star God is simply incomparable to that of the System Lord.

Therefore, the abundant power obtained by Blue Silver Emperor and Zhu Zhuqing is purer, even more so than that of the Pharmacist.

Moreover, once he has reached 100% completion of his role, the power they gain will no longer have any side effects; they will benefit immensely, and the abundant power they possess will no longer be flawed.

But ultimately, the system is his, and the power is his! Although he didn't feel much, if things continued as they were, he would become the abundant star god of this world, possessing supreme power and might.

He can grant life power, and he can also take back that gift when necessary. Moreover, the power he grants has different levels, from high to low, divided into six, nine, and five grades, each with its own distinctions.

On this continent, everyone who embarks on a path of abundance naturally regards him as the center of their faith. They revere him, worship him, and see him as their guide and protector.

Although Blade didn't have much of a feeling for the abstract concept of faith, he also knew that such an arrangement could save a lot of unnecessary trouble and reduce human speculation and doubt.

For Blade, this arrangement is undoubtedly convenient and hassle-free.

He doesn't need to bother maintaining those complicated emotional connections, nor does he need to guess whether people are loyal or not.

His role is simple and clear—to grant power, complete tasks according to orders, maintain order, and preserve the balance of the continent. This way of life is perfectly suited to him.

Blade's face didn't show much expression, but deep in his eyes, a hint of satisfaction and casualness was revealed.

quickly,

As a vibrant and abundant aura surrounded her, Zhu Zhuqing's body underwent unprecedented changes.

That aura, like a gentle spring rain, seeped into every cell of her body, making her body gradually become fuller and fuller, her skin radiating a healthy glow, as if every inch of her skin contained boundless vitality.

Zhu Zhuqing stood up, spread her hands, and felt the power surging within her body.

That power was so strong and pure that she instantly felt that the soul power she had cultivated in the past seemed so insignificant, even somewhat laughable, in the face of this power.

Her body was like an inexhaustible source of energy, ready to unleash astonishing power at any moment.

After experiencing the internal changes, her eyes were filled with curiosity, eager to witness the external changes in her body.

She carefully examined the slender hands, which had become more powerful and had smoother lines, as if they could grasp anything.

Then, her gaze slowly moved downwards, wanting to look at her lower body.

Suddenly, she realized an embarrassing fact. Compared to before, her view was now even more obstructed by her breasts, which appeared to have grown considerably larger!

Her cheeks flushed slightly; she hadn't expected that this power would cause such a significant change in her figure.

She sighed softly, a mixture of joy at the new power and helplessness at this unexpected change.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt a wave of embarrassment again when she realized what kind of occasion it was. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly raised her head, trying to get rid of that embarrassing gaze.

Her gaze met that of her master, Ren, who was watching her. At that moment, she realized that her master possessed an unparalleled beauty that could be deeply imprinted on her heart at first glance!

When she was rescued, she didn't have a chance to see her master's face clearly. When she first entered the room, she was completely overwhelmed by her utmost admiration for her master, so she didn't carefully observe his appearance.

Upon seeing this, she instantly lost her composure, and even the long, fluffy cat tail behind her began to wag uncontrollably, as if expressing the turmoil in her heart.

However, Zhu Zhuqing quickly told herself that her master was right in front of her, and she couldn't be impolite. She lowered her eyes to hide her panic, and then hurriedly performed a heartfelt gesture of respect for her master.

Her voice trembled slightly with emotion and excitement as she spoke with deep feeling:

"I can never repay my master's kindness!"

"I will absolutely not fail my master's orders!"

Her voice was full of gratitude, every word seeming to flow from the depths of her heart.

At this moment, Blue Silver Emperor, standing to the side, watched this scene with a smile on his face, and chuckled to himself.

Zhu Zhuqing's reaction was exactly the same as when she first saw her master after her resurrection; the shock and reverence were so similar.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Blue Silver Emperor's eyes, and she quickly spoke:

"Zhu Qing, words are useless, actions speak louder than words. You have just embarked on the path of abundance. Although you possess power, if you do not learn how to use it, then this power will be of no use."

She paused, then continued, "Next, Master and I will train you from time to time. After all, the task we're giving you... well, it's not exactly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either." A deeper meaning was lurking in Lan Yinhuang's words, seemingly hinting at the challenges Zhu Zhuqing was about to face.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded repeatedly, making nasal "hmm hmm" sounds, her eyes filled with determination and longing.

Although the Blue Silver Emperor has not yet told her the specific details of the mission, she vaguely sensed that these missions seemed to be related to the Star Luo Empire, and also had intricate connections with the Dai and Zhu families.

Thinking of that place that had caused her so much pain, Zhu Zhuqing clenched her teeth. The wounds in her heart were not like physical wounds; they could not be completely healed in a short time.

A flicker of pain and hatred flashed in her eyes; the family rules and the shadows of her childhood were etched into her memory like branding marks.

She murmured softly, "Family rules, childhood shadows," her voice low but heavy with emotion.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that she had to face the past, but now, with the support of her master and the Blue Silver Emperor, and with new power, she would no longer be a weakling manipulated by fate.

A flame reignited in her eyes, a flame of determination to change her destiny.

Although Zhu Zhuqing's voice was low and soft, almost inaudible, Lan Yinhuang's hearing was extremely sharp, and she still heard it.

Blue Silver Emperor gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, the gesture both gentle and firm, as if conveying strength and comfort.

She knew that this little girl, at her age, was already bearing too many burdens that shouldn't belong to her.

In this world, from birth to the teenage years, there is deceit and treachery, with relatives killing each other. All the struggles are for the so-called imperial power and rule.

A hint of sympathy flashed in Lan Yinhuang's eyes; she understood Zhu Zhuqing's pain and helplessness.

"Don't overthink it. Once you're strong enough, you can change everything, and that's part of your mission."

Lan Yinhuang's words carried a hint of encouragement; her words, like stars in the night sky, guided Zhu Zhuqing in the right direction.

As soon as Blue Silver Emperor finished speaking...

Blade, who had been silent all along, seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up two pixels.

"rule?"

"You remind me of someone."

She always likes to say...

"Rules are meant to be broken."
