Yu Xiaogang's voice was hoarse with excitement. "Xiao San! This Lu Ming... could he... could he be that person?!"
Tang San's expression turned utterly grim. He nodded heavily and forced out a few words through gritted teeth.
"It's him!"
Tang San said in a low voice, "What kind of figure is Gu Yuena? The legendary Silver Dragon King, the Co-lord of Soul Beasts! How could someone favored by such a woman possibly be an unknown nobody?"
"In this world, apart from that man, there cannot possibly be a second Lu Ming!"
Boom!
The confirmed news exploded over the heads of everyone from Shrek like a bolt from the blue!
Yu Xiaogang staggered back a step, his face filled with shock.
"Lu Ming again?! Why is his shadow everywhere?!"
"He saved the First Generation Angel God, severely wounded the Sea God, and now... even Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena is his wife?!"
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others were so shocked that their mouths hung wide open, unable to close for a long while.
"My god... he killed the Evil Emperor... severely injured Sea God Poseidon... and he's the Silver Dragon King's husband..."
"Who exactly is this Lu Ming?!"
The entire Heaven Dou Camp fell into dead silence.
Everyone was shaken to their core by that mysterious name, which spanned the ages and seemed to be everywhere at once.
Only after a long while did they gradually recover from the tremendous shock.
Looking at the incomparably generous rewards on the Sky Screen, Xiao Wu could not help muttering, "What abundant rewards... Eight levels of Soul Power, directly reaching the realm of a God King... Doesn't that mean she's stronger than my brother now?"
Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, stared fixedly at the words "Life Ancient Tree Seed," his gaze filled with yearning and gravity.
"There's even a seed of the Life Ancient Tree... This is an extraordinary treasure, said to be the origin of all life!"
He paused before adding, "Unfortunately, it is only a seed. Who knows how many years it would take for it to grow?"
Zhu Zhuqing sighed again. "No matter what, this Senior Gu Yuena truly deserves to be called the legendary Silver Dragon King. Her foundations are far too terrifying."
Ning Rongrong also chimed in, "Exactly! She actually suppressed Third Brother's Asura God Sword and claimed second place on the Exotic Treasures Ranking! She's incredible!"
Every word of praise was like a steel needle stabbing into Tang San's heart.
His expression grew increasingly displeased, his heart filled with frustration and indignation.
The Shrek group discussed fervently, all wondering what kind of heaven-defying divine object could possibly take first place on the Douluo Exotic Treasures Ranking when even the Eternal Life Pendant could only rank second.
Only Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed strangely at this moment.
He pushed up his glasses, a confident smile appearing on his face.
"The treasure in first place..."
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself that the Spirit Master theory he had painstakingly researched was a great innovation unprecedented in history and unmatched by any who came after.
If it made the ranking, it might not be without a chance to contend for the top spot!
He had already made up his mind. When his theory rose to first place, he would certainly deliver a fine acceptance speech before the entire continent!
At the same time.
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
Above the center of the lake, Gu Yuena felt the surging power within her body, yet a trace of confusion appeared on her peerless face.
She raised her head and looked toward the image appearing on the Golden Ranking in the sky.
Within the image, a peerlessly beautiful silver-haired figure stood with her back to all living beings, seemingly admiring something.
"The person on this Sky Screen... why does that back look so familiar?"
Gu Yuena murmured softly.
The next moment, the figure in the image slowly turned around, revealing a flawless face beautiful enough to make heaven and earth lose their color.
On the lakeshore, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the other Fierce beasts all turned to stone the instant they saw that face.
"Th-this is Master?!" Di Tian cried out in shock.
"Why is Master on the ranking again?!" Zi Ji's beautiful eyes were full of confusion.
"That's right! Even Master's natal Divine Weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear, could only rank fourth on the Exotic Treasures Ranking. Does Master possess a treasure even more precious than the Silver Dragon Spear?"
The beasts discussed animatedly, while Gu Yuena, floating above the lake's center, was now completely stunned as well.
"This is... me?!"
She froze.
Why was she on the ranking again?
Gu Yuena's gaze locked tightly onto the hand of that "herself" in the image on the Sky Screen.
The woman in the image carefully cradled an emerald-green pendant, her face brimming with a happy, joyful smile.
A pendant?
The instant Gu Yuena saw it, her heart jolted violently.
She instinctively reached into the clothes against her body at her neckline and pulled out an identical pendant!
The emerald-green pendant lay quietly in her fair palm, radiating a gentle sheen and dense Life Aura.
"This is... the pendant Husband gave me!"
Gu Yuena's breathing immediately quickened.
"The Eternal Life Pendant? And it's ranked second on the Exotic Treasures Ranking?!"
She was utterly stunned.
She had always thought it was merely an ordinary token of love Lu Ming had given her, an ordinary accessory.
She treasured it and wore it close to her body day and night only because it was a gift from the husband she deeply loved.
She loved the sentiment behind it, loved the affection it represented.
But she never could have imagined that this "ordinary pendant" she had thought it was would actually be a Super Divine Artifact that surpassed both the Asura God Sword and the Silver Dragon Spear?!
Though Gu Yuena was somewhat puzzled as to why her husband possessed such a precious treasure, the next moment, that trace of doubt was drowned by boundless emotion and heartache.
So...
So what he had given her was such a heaven-defying supreme treasure.
Gu Yuena's eyes instantly reddened.
She had never expected that her husband would give something so precious to her without the slightest hesitation.
"Husband..."
she murmured, her voice choked with sobs.
"You... you're far too good to me..."
Di Tian, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and the other Soul Beasts on the shore also understood what was happening, and every one of them was utterly shocked.
"Heavens! What Lord Lu Ming gave Master was actually the treasure ranked second on the Exotic Treasures Ranking!"
"He treats Master far too well!"
"The value of this treasure far surpasses the Silver Dragon Spear and that Asura God Sword!"
"Lord Lu Ming is truly a man of deep love and profound loyalty!"
Listening to her subordinates' discussion, Gu Yuena's heartstrings were deeply stirred.
She tightly gripped the pendant at her chest, its warm, smooth feel seeming to retain the lingering warmth of his body.
At last, a crystalline tear slipped from her violet eyes, rolling down her flawless cheek and falling onto the lake, sending ripples spreading across its surface.
"Husband!"
She could no longer restrain her emotions. Her tears fell like pearls from a snapped string.
To obtain this treasure, her husband must surely have paid countless efforts and prices.
Yet he had left the very best thing for her.
