The entire Chat Group's activity had reached an unprecedented peak.
Blue Tyrant Academy, Lu Ming's dormitory.
Watching the furious curses continuously scroll across the Light Screen, a satisfied smile curled at the corner of Lu Ming's mouth.
Just then, a mechanical notification sounded in his Sea of Consciousness.
[Ding! Chat Group activity has met the required standard. Issuing this mission's rewards!] [Calculating rewards...] [Congratulations, Group Leader. You have received the following rewards:] [1. Soul Power Level increased by 8!] [2. One Experience Card Gift Pack!] [3. Top-tier Breath Concealing Art, Great Evolution God Hiding Art!] [4. Compendium of Medicinal Knowledge!]
The string of reward notifications immediately lifted Lu Ming's spirits.
The next moment, a vast and pure torrent of Soul Power appeared out of thin air within his body, washing through his limbs and bones.
Lu Ming immediately sat cross-legged and began guiding the power.
His Level 36 Soul Power bottleneck was as fragile as a sheet of thin paper before that force, and it was shattered in an instant.
Level 37!
Level 38!
Level 39!
His Soul Power surged forward unstoppably, smashing through every barrier until it reached the peak of Level 44, where it finally began to slow.
Feeling the unprecedentedly surging power within him, Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Level 44 Soul Ancestor..."
He clenched his fist, savoring the solid fullness brought by his newfound strength.
How many days had it even been?
His Soul Power had soared all the way from Level 26 to Level 44.
If word of such cultivation speed got out, the entire Douluo Continent would probably be shaken.
He settled his mind and began taking stock of his other gains.
First was the Experience Card Gift Pack.
[Titled Douluo (Level 91) One-Week Experience Card ×1] [Super Douluo (Level 96) Three-Day Experience Card ×1] [Limit Douluo (Level 99) One-Day Experience Card ×1]
Seeing those three glittering golden cards, Lu Ming's heart could not help but beat faster.
These were his true life-saving trump cards!
With these three Experience Cards, his safety was greatly assured.
He knew very well what sort of person Tang San, who had come to Blue Tyrant Academy, truly was.
Those who obeyed him prospered; those who defied him perished.
At the slightest disagreement, Tang San would declare, "You have entered the Path of Seeking Death," before striking to kill.
Not to mention that behind Tang San stood Tang Hao, an utterly shameless hypocrite who allowed his own son to murder and commit atrocities, yet would not permit anyone else to touch a single hair on his son's head.
Before this, Lu Ming had been considering whether he should avoid Tang San's edge for the time being.
But now, with these three Experience Cards, he no longer had any reservations.
"Now I can finally travel around boldly."
A relaxed smile appeared on Lu Ming's face.
"I can also put on my beloved Happy Superman Mask and go have some fun."
Next, he turned his attention to the third reward.
Great Evolution God Hiding Art.
The name alone sounded incredibly impressive.
With a thought, an abstruse formula flooded into his mind.
The Cultivation Technique's effect was simple, yet immensely powerful.
After cultivating it, he could perfectly conceal all his aura. Unless someone was vastly stronger than him, no one would be able to see through his true cultivation.
To outsiders, he would either appear to be an ordinary mortal or an impenetrable fog, unfathomably deep.
"Good stuff."
Lu Ming nodded to himself.
This Cultivation Technique was practically tailor-made for him.
It could conceal the secret of his explosive growth in strength and spare him unnecessary trouble, while also preserving his image as an unfathomable expert before others. It was perfect.
Last was the Compendium of Medicinal Knowledge.
After receiving that information, all knowledge of known—and even lost—herbs, immortal-grade treasures, and poisons across the Douluo Continent was imprinted into his mind.
From identification and harvesting to medicinal analysis and refinement ratios, there was nothing he did not understand and nothing he was not proficient in.
The information stated clearly that, so long as he had sufficient materials, he could concoct medicine to heal any injury and cure any poison.
"The Beryl Snake Emperor Poison in Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's bodies..."
At least three perfect solutions instantly surfaced in Lu Ming's mind.
"In that case, I can pay an early visit to that treasure land in Sunset Forest as well."
A gleam flashed through his eyes.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, with immortal herbs growing everywhere.
That was the starting point of the Shrek Seven Devils' meteoric rise in the original story.
Now, Lu Ming was determined to claim that opportunity for himself.
With his plan set, Lu Ming rose to his full height, and a string of crackling pops rang from every joint in his body.
Level 44 Soul Power surged through his meridians, giving him an unprecedented sense of strength.
He stretched his limbs, moving the body that felt slightly unfamiliar due to his sudden increase in power.
His mind sank into his Sea of Consciousness once more. The Chat Group on the Light Screen remained in an uproar, and the verbal condemnation of Ma Hongjun showed no sign of stopping.
Clearly, the aftershocks of the bomb Lu Ming had dropped were still spreading.
The fury in the group had already merged into a sea of flames.
At that moment, a message carrying a sacred yet resolute aura popped up.
[I Have No Mother: Evil Fire Phoenix? He is clearly an Evil Fire beast! If I ever encounter him, I will use Holy Light Purification to cleanse his filthy soul!]
Heaven Dou City.
Prince's Mansion, inside the study.
Sandalwood incense drifted through the air, and the atmosphere was tranquil.
A young woman dressed in luxurious court robes sat behind the desk.
She possessed a head of radiant golden long hair that draped smoothly behind her like flowing sunlight.
Her skin was fairer than snow, and her features were as exquisite as the most perfect masterpiece created by a deity, without the slightest flaw.
At that moment, however, a thin layer of anger covered that breathtakingly beautiful face.
In her eyes burned flames called disgust.
She was none other than Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Her long, straight legs crossed slightly beneath the desk, outlining a breathtaking curve. Beneath her skirt, a pair of delicate, fair jade feet tensed gently, revealing her inner unrest.
"Purification..."
She murmured in a clear, cool voice.
Buzz—
A sacred and vast aura quietly spread from within her body.
Behind her, the illusory image of a Six-Winged Angel martial soul flashed and vanished. Holy radiance illuminated the entire study as brightly as day.
The pressure originating from a deity gave her the urge to immediately set out for Blue Tyrant Academy and completely erase the sinner named Ma Hongjun.
In Qian Renxue's eyes, a creature ruled by desire did not deserve to live in this world at all. His very existence was a desecration of the world itself.
Yet reason ultimately suppressed her impulse.
She took a deep breath and slowly withdrew her aura.
The plan had not yet succeeded. She could not expose her identity over such a trivial matter.
Within the Chat Group, Qian Renxue's message immediately received support from an unexpected person.
[Pontiff: @I Have No Mother, although you are very annoying, I support you this time!]
