Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

Zhang Lexuan glanced at her best friend with a hint of helplessness.

Wu Ming is like that; he's arrogant in words, but in reality, he keeps his distance from any male students, and if anyone gets close, he immediately fires a fireball at them. Purely just talking big.

Zhang Lexuan thought to herself, but then glanced one last time in that direction before suppressing that inexplicable concern and following her two friends through the bustling gates of the Mingmeng Chamber of Commerce.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the chamber of commerce, Kong Ming'an, who was being pestered by Xu Tianzhen with endless questions, seemed to sense something. His gaze swept lightly over the direction of the chamber's entrance before slowly returning to his own.

It seems like we can dig them all up?

It's true that when it comes to poaching someone's partner, there's only one option: zero times or countless times. It's truly addictive.

Chapter 31 Classic Joke Ghost

After spending a day with Xu Tianzhen in Shrek City, the two returned to Mingdu in the evening using the help of the undead demiplane.

Her Highness was having a great time, and even her purple eyes seemed to brighten, making her inexplicably beautiful.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Xu Tianzhen didn't mention asking Kong Ming'an to take her out to play again next time.

She has a carefree and unreliable demeanor, yet she maintains just the right sense of propriety. To be honest, it's really hard to feel any dislike for someone like Xu Tianzhen.

After seeing Xu Tianzhen off, Kong Ming'an, as usual, made a schedule for the many things that would follow. Afterwards, his daily routine gradually became more regular.

He spends most of his time in the laboratory with Electrox, researching and discussing the nature of spirit rings and their potential applications, while continuously optimizing his own spirit rings in the process.

It is safe to say that research related to spirit rings will remain a key focus for a long time to come.

In addition, he would take time to visit the military camp to observe the training progress of the latest batch of soldiers who were practicing the improved version of the "Body Tempering Method," and then go to the Hall of Worship to collect training samples about the ninth-level Soul Masters who had practiced the "Ring Tempering Method."

Both of these are long-term projects that require frequent data optimization, patience, and the accumulation of a large number of samples.

Overall, his daily life was excessively fulfilling.

……

A few months later.

On the way to the military camp on the outskirts of Mingdu, a soul-guided car sped by. Kongming sat quietly in the back seat, while in the driver's seat in the front was Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin, who was acting as the driver.

Compared to a few months ago, Ye Yulin's aura is now much deeper, clearly indicating that he has successfully broken through, reaching level ninety-five in soul power, making him a top-tier combatant.

The fact that a newly promoted level 95 powerhouse was assigned to provide close protection and even act as his driver demonstrates the increasingly outrageous level of importance the Sun Moon Empire places on this individual.

With a calm gaze fixed on the scenery outside the window, Kong Ming'an took advantage of this brief moment of free time to let his thoughts wander freely regarding recent events.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's cultivation progress was astonishing. Before they were even ten years old, they had both obtained their third soul ring, with each ring exceeding six thousand years in age. They truly lived up to their reputation as Soul Kings at the age of fifteen in the original story, their talent terrifyingly strong.

The princess, however, somehow easily integrated into their small circle, especially her inexplicably harmonious relationship with Meng Hongchen. They often huddled together whispering, occasionally casting glances at him, leaving him puzzled.

To be honest, the way Miss Meng and His Highness were interacting was completely different from what he had expected, and he found it hard to understand.

It can only be said that a girl's thoughts are even harder to fathom than the differences in the parameters of her spirit rings.

Meanwhile, in the imperial court, Xu Tianran had been formally appointed as the crown prince several months prior.

However, he held the position of crown prince for less than two months before he was assassinated in a meticulously planned attack.

This time, without the appearance of the orange from the original story, Xu Tianran's fate is even more tragic than in the original novel.

—At the same time, his legs were shattered, and his left side was almost destroyed by the violent soul power. Although he was saved by the imperial physician, his left arm could not be saved and four of his limbs were severed.

Surprisingly, Xu Tianran did not become discouraged by this; instead, he displayed astonishing resilience, continuing to handle government affairs despite his weakened state.

The emperor was extremely pleased with this, praising him highly and ordering people to search for rare and precious medical resources, determined to spare no expense to cure him. It seems his position as crown prince has actually become more secure.

——At least on the surface.

In addition to that, there are others.

"squeak--"

The Soul Guided Car suddenly braked, veered off course, and came to a stop on its side on the road.

Kong Ming'an's thoughts froze, and he subconsciously raised his eyes, only to see a towering figure appear without warning in the middle of the road ahead.

Kong Ming'an was slightly puzzled, but the next moment...

A suffocating sense of oppression suddenly descended upon that person!

An intense killing intent locked onto him in the oppressive aura, almost sealing off the surrounding space.

Ye Yulin's expression was solemn, but she flashed forward and took a step without hesitation. Nine soul rings appeared around her, and then seven of them shattered one by one, causing her aura to surge!

"Young Master, run! It's a Super Douluo!"

Ye Yulin spoke loudly, standing in front of Kong Ming'an and blocking all the oppressive aura.

Kong Ming'an's pupils contracted slightly. Without hesitation, the portal to the undead demiplane instantly opened behind him.

However, just a moment before he was about to escape into the demiplane—

"Hey!"

Beside him, the void was suddenly torn apart by an extremely pure force!

Another figure appeared like a ghost, its palm transforming into a claw, silently yet precisely grabbing towards his back!

A second attacker!

A level 98 Super Douluo was holding back Ye Yulin, who had just entered the Super Douluo level, while another Limit Douluo was attacking Kong Ming'an, whose soul power level was not even level 20, without holding back!

This is not just a simple case of the strong bullying the weak; it's utterly shameless!

However, at this moment, Kong Ming'an had no time to think about or complain about these things.

Just before the other figure's all-out attack landed, Kong Ming'an's Eye of Life between his brows seemed to sense something, and then instantly opened, bursting out with a monstrous emerald-gold light!

A surge of immense life force, mixed with a deathly yet sacred power, erupted forth, instantly forming an incredibly resilient life shield around his body.

At the same time, the inconspicuous silver bracelet on Kong Ming'an's wrist was activated, and a silver moon-like barrier unfolded layer upon layer, completely enveloping Kong Ming'an's body and isolating him from everything inside and outside.

“Buzz—Boom!!”

The second attacker's hand slammed down on the defense, a tapestry of emerald gold and silver. Terrifying energy erupted, shattering the soul-guided car, causing the ground to crumble and cave in, cracks spreading outwards like a spiderweb.

The emerald-gold life shield rippled violently, and half of the layers of silver moon shield shattered instantly, yet Kong Ming'an inside was completely unharmed!

This all-out attack at the extreme level was completely and utterly blocked!

The second attacker. Or, the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Da Ming frowned slightly, an uncontrollable sense of absurdity rising in his heart.

What the hell is this thing?!

Even though he was a priest, under the suppression of the plane, he couldn't use god-level power and could only use power at the Limit Douluo level; otherwise, he would be directly targeted by the plane.

However, his attack just now was undoubtedly a full-force attack at the Limit Douluo level!

He was confident that, in the entire Douluo Continent, apart from the top few on the Ferocious Beast Ranking, there was no one else who could stop him!

However, despite using such a full-force attack, and under the premise of a sneak attack, it was actually blocked by a kid with low soul power who wasn't even a Great Soul Master, using just two external objects.

Are you kidding me? !

What exactly was that Tang San ordered him to kill?!

Chapter 32 The Ming Dynasty: Tang San, you bastard!!!

In Da Ming's original plan, the key to this assassination was not the process of killing the target, but the subsequent escape.

They had even prepared to use the numerous spatial rifts surrounding Qiankun Wenqing Valley, which was not far from here, to leave the Douluo plane and escape.

But now you're telling me the process is stuck at the step of killing the target?

Without time to delve deeper, and knowing he didn't have much time to hesitate, a cold glint flashed in Da Ming's eyes as he prepared to continue his attack and break through the so-called defense before him.

However, just as he was about to continue his attack, he saw someone calmly take out four more silver bracelets from their storage soul guide ring and put two on each of their left and right wrists.

Da Ming: "..."

besides? !

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

The two locked eyes, yet the boy remained completely calm, displaying a composure unlike that of a typical teenager.

The next moment, with a slightly amused look, the young man chuckled.

"So...you were sent by Tang San?"

"?!"

Da Ming's pupils contracted slightly, and he instinctively sensed something was wrong.

He didn't know why they were suddenly exposed. He hadn't said a word in just a few seconds since the attack started, yet they had already given themselves away.

Da Ming was puzzled, but he also knew that there was no time for him to hesitate.

Raising his hand, he condensed his soul power and struck out with his palm once more.

But the next moment.

"boom--!"

There was light in the heavens and on the earth.

Endless silence and holy light descended simultaneously; gray streams of light fell from the sky, coalescing into a gray phantom before Kong Ming'an.

He held the gray staff in one hand, and nine eerie gray soul rings slowly rotated. A vast sea of ​​soul power mixed with a soul power infinitely close to that of a god crashed down, locking onto Daming and enveloping the area in a domain intertwined with light and death.

Electrolux, descend upon the battlefield!

"Are you alright, Ming'an?"

"It's nothing, Old Yi, he was just a little frightened."

Kong Ming'an's gaze was calm. He made a slight attempt to open the gate to the undead demiplane, only to find that the space was sealed off, and long-distance teleportation was a pipe dream.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Yulin was already locked in battle with Erming.

However, how could someone who had just been promoted to Super Douluo possibly be a match for Er Ming?

Ye Yulin's all-out attack landed, but Erming simply threw a single punch, the pure power shattering countless starlight and sending Ye Yulin flying backward, coughing up blood.

Erming pounded his chest with both hands, and the phantom of the Titan Ape appeared behind him, grinning maliciously as its enormous hand reached out to grab Kong Ming'an and Ilex.

But the next moment,

"Go away!"

A furious roar, like a thunderclap, ripped through the sky with a silver streak, and a figure plummeted to the ground like a meteorite, shielding Kong Ming'an behind him.

Kong Deming, descend upon the battlefield!

Without the slightest hesitation, Kong Deming's Sun Martial Soul suddenly appeared, and all seven of his 10,000-year soul rings, each with an age of over 90,000 years, shattered one after another!

A surge of violent energy instantly flooded into Kong Deming's body, causing his aura to increase dramatically!

His martial soul instantly switched to Silver Moon, and nine spirit rings appeared, forcefully restraining and guiding the terrifying energy that was about to burst his body.

The next moment, Kong Deming ripped off his research robe, revealing his incredibly strong physique!

Without using any soul tools, just a simple punch, the silver moonlight and blood energy intertwined on the fist light, directly blasting out at the palm that Erming grabbed!

"Boom!"

A punch landed squarely on Erming's outstretched hand.

A surge of air erupted, and Erming's iron tower-like body was struck by a punch that contained the combined explosive power of twin martial souls and the ultimate physical strength honed through countless trials by "body cultivators," causing him to stagger backward repeatedly, a look of disbelief on his face!

With the same level of 98 soul power, he, a soul beast and a Titan Giant Ape known for its strength, was actually inferior to Kong Deming, who was defined in the collected information as having a high soul power level but being just a clerical researcher.

There's something dirty inside!

Erming's expression was grim, but Kong Deming remained calm.

He stood beside Kong Ming'an, his silver hair flying, his muscles bulging, his blood surging through his body like a furnace, and faint steam rising from his skin's pores, scorching the surrounding air.

His gaze flashed like lightning as he glanced indifferently at Da Ming and Er Ming, then spoke softly:

"Ming'an?"

"It's okay."
