Chapter 145: Demon Soul Great White Shark
The Celestial Shadow Empire is indeed preparing for the wedding of Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, which is also what Lu Yuan had agreed with Ning Fengzhi before.
After all, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong's wedding was not only his own marriage, but also related to the stability of the entire Heavenly Shadow Empire.
After all, although Lu Yuan canonized Ning Rongrong as the queen, for so long, they have not had a formal wedding ceremony.
It is inevitable that there will be more thoughts on this from those who have a heart...... For example, sending his daughter and sisters to Lu Yuan's side, tempting him, and replacing Ning Rongrong's position as the queen.
Maybe the henchmen of the empire like the five princely families would not dare to have such an idea of transgression.
After all, their status is high enough, even if they become descendants, it is just a little more powerful.
And once he is angry by the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect, it will be a complete loss.
But those little nobles have a lot of gambler mentality, and if they succeed, they will directly ascend to the sky, such a big temptation, plus they may have luck in their hearts, and they feel that if they get the favor of Lu Yuan, the supreme of the empire, even the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect will not dare to help them.
Therefore, in order to make these people desperate, it is best to complete the wedding ceremony of Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, the empress, as soon as possible.
In fact, even if the big wedding ceremony was held, Ning Rongrong never gave birth to the eldest son of the imperial concubine with Lu Yuan, and there were always people who had the idea of taking a chance to replace him.
Therefore, Ning Fengzhi hoped that Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong would get married as soon as possible, complete the "creation of people" plan as soon as possible, and give birth to a stable eldest son of the emperor.
And the emperor's wedding ceremony, since it is a major event, naturally cannot be hasty.
Therefore, as early as February this year, the Heavenly Shadow Empire and the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect had come up with a plan through a joint resolution of the cabinet and Lu Yuan.
And in the next ten months, from the dress to the venue, from the bride price and dowry, from the empire's direct subordinate region to many kingdoms and principalities, and even the Wuhun Hall and the Star Luo Empire, all arrangements were made.
For this marriage, the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect took out three million gold soul coins, and the Heavenly Shadow Empire also took out five million gold soul coins, highlighting a luxury to the extreme.
Some people also think that it is inappropriate to be so extravagant and wasteful, but this is a major matter that must be done, otherwise Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, the emperor and queen of the Celestial Shadow Empire, would be sloppy and rash, and they would lose the face of the empire.
Moreover, the Celestial Shadow Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect can all take out this money, and it is not said that the Celestial Shadow Empire has emptied the treasury of the entire empire by taking out these five million gold soul coins.
At present, Lu Yuan has successively rectified the financial and tax situation of the empire, plus he has raided the homes of some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he has begun to make some small inventions in his previous life and pull the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect to do business and make money together.
Now the income of the Heavenly Shadow Empire is still very considerable, just this year's income, it is twenty-five million gold soul coins.
The Celestial Shadow Empire itself currently has no place for disaster relief, and all that needs to be used is a large place for finance, that is, the military and political food and salary to support a large number of troops, the repair of the future capital Celestial Shadow City, the scientific and technological research and development of the Celestial Shadow Royal Science and Technology Academy, and the replacement of the replaced Wuhun Hall to help people awaken the martial soul and personally distribute the soul master subsidy.
These places that need to be used for finance, about the end of the year, that is, 13 million gold soul coins are spent, and there is still a lot of surplus in the treasury, so spending 5 million gold soul coins to hold the emperor's wedding is not a waste of extravagance.
And in fact, most of this is used for the bride price, and the dowry returned by the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect is also of equal value, which is about the same as the left hand to the right hand, and it is changed back to the treasury.
It's really not good, Lu Yuan has another big killer move - national debt.
Of course, with the wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect and the Heavenly Shadow Empire now, this trick is not needed.
In short, the Heavenly Shadow Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect are very concerned and confident about this big wedding ceremony, which will definitely shock the world!
However, the Heavenly Shadow Empire and the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect were completing the arrangement of the wedding ceremony in an orderly manner, while Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, the two parties, were still practicing on Seagod Island, and they were about to complete their second god exam at this time.
Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, as well as Lu Qingqing, Yan Zhuyin, Dugu Yan, and the seven brothers of the Shi family, were already standing on the edge of the circular sea at this moment, looking at the circular sea that had been blocked.
They have been resting for three days and can say that they are back to their best.
"We should be able to try this second level, right?" Dugu Yan said, "Let's see if we can make our soul power increase quickly like the Seagod's Light?" ”
The previous purple-clothed sea soul master was right, for them, the Seagod's Light was an excellent experience in the divine examination, and this environment that could speed up the cultivation of soul power had already made Dugu Yan and the others a little reluctant.
But it's a pity that after completing their respective divine exams, the Poseidon Light completely lost its effect, and there was no longer any pressure on them.
But now they have to complete the second god exam and break through the blockade of the Ring Sea, which makes Dugu Yan and the others can't help but liven up their minds.
What if this second level is also the same as the Seagod's Light, which can speed up their cultivation?
Lu Yuan shook his head, relying on a vague memory of the original plot, he said, "Maybe you have disappointed Senior Sister, the assessment of the Seagod's Light is also very rare and rare in the Seagod Trial, otherwise the previous Seagod Soul Master would not have said that the experience of the Seagod's Light is also a good thing for us." ”
Dugu Yan still had some illusions, "Lu Yuan, how do you know?" What if? ”
Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong beside him glanced at each other, raised their hands and said, "Okay, okay, then let's try it, after all, this time it was blocked by sea soul beasts, before we can break through with all our strength, we must first figure out what sea soul beasts in the ring sea can bring us a threat, and what level it is." ”
Lu Qingqing nodded and said, "Then brother, you can arrange it, we will all listen to you." ”
Lu Yuan's status does not need to be said, in terms of status and cultivation, he should not give up.
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much, at least the sea soul beasts in this circular sea should be able to get close to the sea soul master of Seagod Island, so they probably won't fight us to the death." Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "They should only stop us." ”
"So...... Qingqing, you go try it first, Rong Rong assists Qingqing, and says hello to these soul beast friends first. ”
"Good!" Lu Qingqing and the others did not have any objections and responded.
Lu Qingqing nodded, summoned the martial soul and the seven gray soul rings, and pointed her toes on the ground, and her body had already jumped out.
As her cultivation grew, her speed became faster and faster, and it was just like that, but it made her look like she was carrying a faint afterimage behind her.
Ning Rongrong also directly summoned the Martial Soul Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, "The Nine Treasures are famous!" One said: Force! ”
"Er: Speed!"
"Three said: Soul!"
"Fourth: Defense!"
The light of the four amplifications fell directly on Lu Qingqing, making her speed even faster.
After a few dodges, she had already come to the edge of the circular sea, and at the same time she rose up at this moment and rushed straight into the circular sea.
The moment her body pounced, Ning Rongrong's increase combined with Lu Qingqing's extremely fast speed caused her body to jump out like a cannonball, straight into the circular sea.
Boom - just as Lu Qingqing's body jumped out of the land less than five meters, the entire annular sea suddenly boiled, and the already turbulent waves burst out almost instantly, bombarding the golden light barrier ten meters above the sea level.
Strangely, the rising sea water did not splash out of the ring sea in the slightest, neither hitting the ground outside the ring, nor rushing to the sea god mountain.
Lu Qingqing's petite body was completely shrouded in the sea water at this moment.
What everyone on the shore can see is a strange dark blue water world.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong's face changed, and he no longer dared to leave any hands, and the last attack amplification and strongest attribute amplification were also directly launched, piercing through the waves and landing accurately on Lu Qingqing.
However, then, Ning Rongrong's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "The amplification of my Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda is affected by the unknown energy in the seawater, and the amplification effect is weakened by thirty percent, and the actual increase brought to Qingqing is less than sixty percent!" ”
You must know that her current increase should have reached 80 percent, but after being weakened by 30 percent, the actual increase was only more than 50 percent.
"Obuchi!" She couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan at this time.
Now it seems that Lu Qingqing has a problem, and there is no doubt that the only one who can save Lu Qingqing is Lu Yuan, who has broken through the Title Douluo realm.
Although Lu Yuan was now sealed with all his soul rings and soul skills, the same was true of the seven soul rings of the Divine Dragon Venerable.
But he is a Titled Douluo, and Titled Douluo can easily kill a Soul Saint by relying purely on soul power and combat skills.
Even if it is a Contra, if it is not the four single-attribute Contras, or some relatively weak Titled Douluo, then it can be subdued by Titled Douluo.
Not to mention that Lu Yuan also has a series of "self-created soul skills", as well as three major realms.
Moreover, the transformation of the arcane energy and the improvement of soul power have made his current strength extremely terrifying, and now it is conservatively estimated that it has reached a terrifying power of 50 million catties.
So if Lu Yuan wants to rescue Lu Qingqing, it is still very easy.
However......
At this time, Lu Yuan was very calm, he knew what kind of sea soul beast was in the ring sea, the 100,000-year soul beast - Xiaobai, the king of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
This soul beast also had a relationship with Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Lu Qingqing, as the heir of the god of the sea, must have no problem.
can even make Lu Qingqing and Xiaobai get closer, and in the future, Lu Yuan even thinks about letting Xiaobai become Lu Qingqing's soul......
So Lu Qingqing will definitely be fine.
"Don't worry, Qingqing will be fine." Lu Yuan said with a smile.
Hearing what Lu Yuan said, everyone was a little relieved, after all, Lu Yuan had not made a mistake so far.
So although everyone was a little anxious, they still chose to believe Lu Yuan.
In the circular sea, Lu Qingqing's whole body was instantly submerged by the seawater, but under the protection of the Hanhai Qiankun cover, her clothes were not soaked, but she also immediately discovered the problem.
Immersed in the seawater, there seemed to be a special energy in the seawater, which slowed her body and accelerated the consumption of her soul power.
At the same time, the undercurrents continued to impact her body, coupled with the strong buoyancy in the seawater, which suddenly made her body unstable for a while.
In addition, you can clearly feel that the water in this circular sea is different, in addition to the restraining energy, the resistance in the sea water is also surprisingly large.
On top of that, Lu Qingqing didn't know how she was supposed to move forward in the water.
And at this moment, something suddenly happened!
I saw an arrow-shaped fish that came from nowhere, appearing in all directions around Lu Qingqing's body without warning.
Their speed in the water was extremely fast, even faster than some bird soul beasts that Lu Qingqing had seen.
Almost instantly, there was a circle of more than a hundred arrow-shaped fish around her body, blue-purple light surrounding their bodies, and the rich soul power fluctuations were woven into a large net in the sea water, sealing all her forward and backward paths.
Lu Qingqing suddenly held her breath and concentrated, holding a flowing water whip blade, ready to fight at any time.
When she didn't make any movement before, those arrow-shaped fish sea soul beasts just surrounded her body, and when her body moved, those arrow-shaped fish suddenly moved as well, and at the same time launched a charge towards her.
For a while, hundreds of arrow-shaped fish sea soul beasts were like countless sharp arrows attached to soul power, and they shot towards Lu Qingqing.
Look at that posture, don't stop without piercing Lu Qingqing's body!
Everyone on the shore could clearly see that when these arrow-shaped fish launched a charge, their whole bodies turned into the blue-purple that had previously permeated their bodies, like streamers, which were extremely dazzling.
However, Lu Qingqing is not a delicate little girl, and her soul skills cannot be used, but her fighting skills are still there, and the martial soul in her hand is waved, directly repelling all these arrow-shaped fish!
Her speed is extremely fast, even in the circular sea, but the long whip is still like a storm, falling on these sea soul beasts, that is, the body is torn out of a series of openings, although the power has weakened a lot in the sea, but it still knocks them out.
At the same time, a blood-colored mist appeared in the annular sea.
However, although it was only stunned and seriously injured, Lu Qingqing's attack speed was fast!
Within a moment, hundreds of arrowfish were stunned and fell to the bottom of the sea.
Lu Qingqing also knew a little about the abilities of these soul beasts, and began to control their strength, and did not waste their physical strength indiscriminately.
Her combat experience is extremely rich, so she maintains a certain speed and stuns these sea soul beasts.
More than 100 arrow-shaped fish were stunned by her whip successively, and the rest did not dare to charge, only dared to bluff on the periphery, constantly shuttling and interfering in the sea water around her body.
They don't dare to move!
Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and didn't take it lightly, but she continued to move forward.
After shaking off the arrow-shaped fish, Lu Qingqing stabilized her body and began to continue deeper.
At this time, she had only entered the annular sea for more than 20 meters, and she was still far from the opposite shore.
At the moment, while familiarizing himself with the way of moving forward in the sea, he carefully observed his surroundings.
The two sides of the circular sea are only more than 200 meters apart, and Lu Qingqing has already entered one-tenth of them at this time, and there are still 180 meters away from the opposite shore.
One hundred and eighty meters, on land was just a blink of an eye for her.
But although she defeated the arrow-shaped fish in front of her, the remaining 180 meters were obviously not so easy to pass.
She continued to swim forward ten meters, and that's when she did!
A huge shadow came from a distance, and before Lu Qingqing could see its appearance clearly, there was already an irresistible huge force in the seawater, Lu Qingqing only had time to protect his hands on his chest, and before he could make the next move, the whole person had been hit by the turbulent undercurrent and flew out.
With a pop, Lu Qingqing broke through the water and crashed straight into Poseidon Mountain.
Although the Poseidon Light will no longer put pressure on everyone who has passed the first assessment, the mission of protecting Poseidon Mountain has not disappeared, Lu Qingqing only felt that her whole body was soft, as if she was trapped in a pile of cotton, and the next moment, she was already embedded in the Poseidon Light, slowly sliding down against the mountain.
"Qingqing!" Ning Rongrong, Yan Zhuyin, Dugu Yan and others ran over in a hurry.
"Qingqing, you're okay, right?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Lu Qingqing took a deep breath, and at this time, the qi and blood in her body suddenly churned, and her whole body was indescribably uncomfortable, as if every meridian had been shocked.
But at present, there is still no major problem, and these injuries can be recovered after a little meditation.
"I'm fine, just ...... I was hit by something that came out of nowhere...... I didn't see what it was......" Lu Qingqing said a little sullenly.
It was so fast that she could only roughly know that it was a giant sea soul beast.
Yan Zhuyin said at this time, "It was a white shark with a length of about twenty-five meters, but its huge size did not affect its flexibility in the slightest. It's incredibly fast. From the moment it appeared to the time it disappeared, it only took a few blinks of an eye, and you had already been bombarded by the seawater driven by a blue light released from its body, and then it turned and left. ”
As a soul master who uses arrows to attack by martial souls, her eyesight is very good, and she sees the appearance of the sea soul beast that attacked Lu Qingqing.
"That's the King of the Great White Shark." At this time, Lu Yuan came to everyone slowly and said.
"King of the Great White Shark?" Everyone looked at each other, this was the first time they had heard the name.
"The Demon Soul Great White Shark is one of the island protection soul beast races of Seagod Island, they have been friends with Seagod Island for generations, and among them there is a 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark as their patriarch." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "It seems that it is the examiner of our second level sitting in this circular sea." ”
"But how did it come to this circular sea, isn't it a sea soul beast?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.
Lu Yuan said, "There are several inland seas in Poseidon Island, and these inland seas are not fresh water without salt. As you can imagine, this sea water must also come from the sea outside. Therefore, below Poseidon Island, these inland seas may have a passage connecting with the open sea. If so, it's not hard to explain why the King of the Great White Shark is here. It must have been our assessment that drew it to this circular sea and prevented us from completing our mission. But it has absolutely no intention of attacking us, it just prevents us from crossing the sea. ”
"This ...... It's too hard, isn't it? Even if it doesn't mean to harm us, it's a 100,000-year soul beast after all! Shi Mosheng said unlovingly.
"The only one who can complete this second level is Lu Yuan, you pervert." Dugu Yan also said very approvingly.
Lu Yuan's current strength, not to mention withstanding Xiao Bai's attack and completing the Ring Sea assessment, is not a problem at all to directly kill Xiao Bai, the king of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
But he can't do that, even though he's a human racist, he won't take a policy of total extermination of soul beasts.
And it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Xiaobai is not a wild 100,000-year-old soul beast, she is the pet of the sea god, this can't be killed.
Lu Yuan only smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, the sea god can't give you this kind of assessment that absolutely can't be completed, since this Demon Soul Great White Shark King has no killing intent, it is your best actual combat training object!" ”
"As long as you can withstand the obstruction of this Demon Soul Great White Shark King, your actual combat ability will definitely be greatly improved, and you will be able to complete the assessment when the time comes!"
Dugu Yan suddenly glared at Lu Yuan and said, "Hey, hey, hey!" Wait, you don't mean to say, let's fight that Demon Soul Great White Shark, right? ”
Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "What's not to do?" Face a 100,000-year-old soul beast in a sea water that has a lot of restrictions and can't breathe. You can imagine the pressure on us. And this 100,000-year-old soul beast won't really hurt us, is there a better sparring partner than this? And other than that, how do we complete the assessment? ”
"Yes...... That's all it can be. Ning Rongrong sighed and said.
Lu Qingqing also nodded and said, "From this point of view, the assessment of the sea god is not only a test, but also a cultivation opportunity for those who participate in the assessment. The assessment we faced was so difficult, but at the same time, the cultivation method provided to us was also the best. Brother is right, the first test of the light of the sea god is to temper our soul power, and the second test to break through the ring blockade is likely to temper our actual combat ability. And it is also a real combat ability in a sea full of resistance...... It seems that this time we have a chance to learn how to swim. ”
Seeing this, Dugu Yan had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "But it is difficult for my soul skill to play a role in this sea, I just hope that this Demon Soul Great White Shark King will attack us lightly......"
The Shi family brothers also nodded, "Yes...... I hope she doesn't kill her......"
However, over the next two days......
"Ouch!" Dugu Yan, who turned into the Blue Scale Snake Emperor, flew out of the circular sea directly, landed on Poseidon Mountain, and fell into a lot of meat.
Not only her, but also Lu Qingqing, Yan Zhuyin and the Shi family brothers on the side were extremely miserable, and the fall was really a fall.
In the past two days, except for Ning Rongrong, who assisted the soul master, and Lu Yuan, who had extraordinary strength and absolute certainty, the other five people had already begun to try one after another.
However, all of them were suddenly advanced by Xiao Bai, the king of the demon soul great white shark, and arched directly out of the circular sea, without mercy.
And the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark has not yet communicated with Lu Qingqing and the others and officially said hello, but a black shadow flashed directly, and they flew out and fell on the Poseidon Mountain.
