"Lu Jiang, let's break up."
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a girl in a long white dress looked down at the boy before her.
The words from her lips were utterly cold.
The boy called Lu Jiang raised his head and looked at the porcelain-doll-like girl before him.
He was incomparably calm at that moment, merely nodding silently.
A look of disbelief appeared on Ning Rongrong's face.
She had originally thought ending this relationship would be troublesome, that Lu Jiang would chase after her and desperately cling to her in order to preserve his position.
Now, it seemed that he knew his place. It saved her quite a bit of trouble.
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly and said to Lu Jiang with some disdain:
"You at least know how to behave. You haven't made things too ugly for us."
"You know yourself that there can be no future between us."
"With your talent, it'll be difficult for you to remain at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as even a servant in the future."
"If someone discovers our relationship, things won't go well for you."
"Let's leave it at that."
Ning Rongrong sighed, then turned and left.
Under the cold moonlight, Lu Jiang was left standing alone in the pavilion atop the mountain.
He merely watched Ning Rongrong's departing back and let out a helpless sigh.
So this was a world where strength reigned supreme. Weaklings without power would only be discarded like trash.
Lu Jiang had come to the world of Douluo Continent more than ten years ago.
At first, he could hardly believe that he had actually transmigrated into this ancient webnovel.
Although he had mostly forgotten the plot, he still recognized the major factions.
Not long after transmigrating, he learned that he had been reborn into the body of an Outer Disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
That was right, the clan of Ning Rongrong, one of the Shrek Seven Devils from the original story.
And somehow, he was even Ning Rongrong's childhood boyfriend?
He and Ning Rongrong had grown up together as childhood sweethearts.
Although she was the sect master's precious daughter while he was merely an Outer Disciple,
Ning Rongrong had never cared about that. They had even sworn to become husband and wife and bow before Heaven and Earth once they grew up.
However, that beautiful fantasy changed after Ning Rongrong went to Shrek Academy.
Ever since entering Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong had deliberately avoided him.
Whenever she returned during breaks, she would always mention that his Soul Power had yet to reach level ten.
She even said that Third Brother had possessed Innate Full Soul Power from the moment he awakened, and that he and Lu Jiang were simply people from different worlds.
Lu Jiang shook his head and left as well.
He had never been the sort of sissy who cried at the first sign of trouble.
Since they had broken up, he would stop thinking about it.
That Eldest Young Lady was ultimately not someone he could afford to handle.
After returning to his residence, Lu Jiang carefully shut all the doors and windows.
To be safe, he even checked them once more.
The reason he was being so cautious was because what he was about to do was a secret that absolutely could not be revealed.
Lu Jiang extended his hand and summoned a panel before himself.
[Ding! The Star Rail Pioneer System is at your service!]
That was right. He was not merely a transmigrator; he also possessed a system!
Lu Jiang deeply understood the principle that an innocent man could be punished for possessing a treasure.
In a world where the strong devoured the weak, staying hidden was the invincible path.
Therefore, after discovering that he had a system, he had told no one.
Instead, he cultivated in secret by himself.
However, his system was rather special.
It could not directly help him cultivate. Instead, it was bound to the gacha system from a game he had played in his previous life—Honkai: Star Rail.
After fulfilling certain conditions, he could summon characters from Honkai: Star Rail.
Lu Jiang opened the system panel.
[Honkai: Star Rail Gacha System] [Character Slots: 0/3] [Unlocked Characters: None.] [Slot Value: 99.9%]
Lu Jiang stared at the 99 percent slot value at the bottom of the panel.
As long as he raised the slot value to 100 percent, he would gain one chance to draw.
The draw pool included every character in Honkai: Star Rail.
In other words, he might draw anyone from little Hook to an Aeon.
Aeons stood at the pinnacle of power in the Honkai: Star Rail universe.
Every Aeon was born from a Path and possessed combat power nearly equivalent to that of a conceptual god.
If he could summon one to Douluo Continent, then forget the mere Douluo world—even the God Realm could be slaughtered with a single finger!
Even if he could not summon an Aeon, drawing an Emanator would still be excellent.
Emanators were agents chosen by Aeons. Since Aeons were deities from a higher dimension, it was inconvenient for them to interfere with mortal affairs directly.
Thus, they bestowed their power upon certain people, allowing them to wield the Aeons' power under the influence of their will.
Every Emanator possessed planet-destroying combat power.
In the Douluo world, they would be invincible.
Unfortunately, the conditions for accumulating slot value were extremely demanding.
He either had to feed it various precious soul bones, soul rings, or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Or he had to use the Soul Power he cultivated himself.
That was why his Soul Power had never broken through level ten all these years.
All the Soul Power he cultivated had been used to fill the slot value.
And according to his calculations, today was the day it would be filled for the first time.
For the first time in ages, Lu Jiang felt that anticipation before a draw.
What kind of character would he get from his first draw?
Lu Jiang found it hard to calm his emotions.
However, he quickly steadied himself.
Then he continuously poured his Soul Power into the system.
At that moment, the energy within the orb on the panel rose bit by bit.
Finally, under Lu Jiang's watch, the number changed from ninety-nine to one hundred.
Finally!
Lu Jiang's breathing began to grow rapid.
Then he saw a massive train pass before him before coming to a steady stop in front of him.
The train door loosened and released a cloud of steam.
At last, golden light shone throughout the entire carriage.
Wow! A golden legend!
The moment the train door opened, a pale green figure appeared before him.
Firefly!!!
When Lu Jiang saw the girl appear on the screen, even his breathing stalled for half a beat.
Wasn't this the Trailblazer's girlfriend?
A girl who embodied both a man's romance and a man's tenderness.
The most popular female character in the entire game, the official designated wife!
Lu Jiang opened Firefly's panel.
[Name: Firefly] [Introduction: Former Glamoth Iron Cavalry soldier AR-26710, now a member of the Stellaron Hunters. A girl who wears the mechanical armor "Sam." I will set the seas ablaze!]
Summon?
Lu Jiang did not hesitate and directly selected confirm.
The next moment, yellow-green fluorescence filled the entire room.
A holographic girl slowly appeared before him.
As the girl's image gradually became corporeal, Lu Jiang could even smell a faint scent of oak.
That ash-white hair was as pure and flawless as moonlight.
Paired with a neat green short dress and a headband made from cloth torn from a ruined flag.
Although she appeared gentle and lovely on the surface, he could sense the girl's steadfastness from her.
Firefly slowly opened her eyes. The expression in them was impossible to describe as either joy or sorrow, while the tears at the corners of her eyes fell like fireflies.
Then he heard her slowly speak to Lu Jiang:
"Trailblazer, I finally found you."
