Seventh Place, God of Speed Zhu Qing! Second update, please vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!

Lu Chen had wanted the Heaven-Pillar Divine Spear, yet they gave him a tiny No-Fly Domain instead.

Oh well, it was still a domain. Lu Chen reluctantly accepted it.

With the No-Fly Domain, probably no flying Soul Master would want to face Lu Chen.

Just as Lu Chen accepted the No-Fly Domain reward, a series of knocks sounded in his ears.

What struck Lu Chen as odd was that the knocking did not come from the upper part of the door, but from below it.

Before Lu Chen could open the door, a voice that carried unquestionable authority rang out.

Seventh place on the Strongest Human Monologue Ranking: God of Speed, Zhu Zhuqing!

Zhu Zhuqing: "???"

The moment she heard her own name, Zhu Zhuqing froze. When her beautiful eyes looked again and again, confirming that the distant Sky Curtain truly bore the three characters Zhu Zhuqing, she was both deeply shocked and overwhelmed with joy and anticipation.

God of Speed, Zhu Zhuqing?

Was it her?

Or someone else with the same name?

Gulp—

Nervous yet expectant, Zhu Zhuyun swallowed and waited for the answer to the question in her heart.

Then, information related to Zhu Zhuqing, the God of Speed, appeared on the Light Screen.

My name is Zhu Zhuqing, and I am the second daughter of the Zhu Clan of the Star Luo Empire.

Every family has its own inherited Martial Soul, and my family is no exception.

My family's inherited Martial Soul is the Hell Spirit Cat, an agility-attack Beast Martial Soul.

Because the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul and the White Tiger, the inherited Martial Soul of the Dai family of the Star Luo Imperial Family, could combine to unleash the Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Netherworld White Tiger, our two families had intermarried for generations.

The empresses of the Star Luo Empire throughout the ages?

They were basically all bearers of the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul!

When I was six, I entered into a Childhood Betrothal with Dai Mubai, the Third Prince of the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Zhu Clan.

"What?!"

"Second Daughter became a god?!"

Upon learning that his second daughter, Zhu Zhuqing, had actually become a Supreme God, an obvious expression of shock—one he could not suppress no matter what—along with utter disbelief immediately appeared on old Zhu Chongba's face.

To be honest, Zhu Chongba had never thought highly of Zhu Zhuqing.

In Zhu Chongba's eyes, if his second daughter Zhu Zhuqing could survive her competition with his eldest daughter Zhu Zhuyun, that alone would be enough to count as defying fate!

But what happened?

Now, the Sky Curtain said that Zhu Zhuqing had become a Supreme God—a god both yearned for and unattainable to countless Soul Masters!

So this was thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never bully a young girl for being poor?

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Imperial Palace.

A host of civil and military officials stood outside the palace gates, alongside the White Tiger Great Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianli.

"Someone, relay my imperial decree!"

As his authoritative tiger eyes stared unblinkingly at the Light Screen in the sky, White Tiger Great Emperor Dai Tianli spoke in a deep voice.

Every word spoken by White Tiger Great Emperor Dai Tianli was forceful and resonant.

As soon as White Tiger Great Emperor Dai Tianli finished speaking, a servant immediately stepped forward.

White Tiger Great Emperor Dai Tianli spoke, issuing his orders. "Bestow upon Third Prince Dai Mubai the title of Star Luo Crown Prince! Bestow upon Third Princess Consort Zhu Zhuqing the title of Star Luo Crown Princess Consort!"

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials exchanged glances. Once they came to their senses, they all spoke in unison, shouting, "Your Majesty is wise!!!"

The throne of the Star Luo Empire had always been won through competition. This rule had never changed.

But now, it had changed!

The reason was simple: Third Princess Consort Zhu Zhuqing had become a god, one not seen on the continent for twenty thousand years!

Rules were dead, while people were alive.

When extraordinary circumstances arose, rules had to change!

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, who were on their way to Shrek Academy, both stopped their horses upon learning that Zhu Zhuqing had become a god.

"Your little sister became a god? We're finished! With Father Emperor's temperament, he'll definitely abandon us outright and focus on grooming my third brother and your sister." As Dai Weisi said this, unwillingness was written across his face.

"What should we do next?" Zhu Zhuyun asked Dai Weisi with a frown.

Facing Zhu Zhuyun's question, Dai Weisi gave no answer and fell silent.

Soon, Dai Weisi spoke, offering Zhu Zhuyun two choices.

"There are two paths we can take now."

"The first is to flee—flee somewhere unknown, somewhere beyond the reach of the Star Luo Empire."

"The second is to fight. With no way back, we can only fight. Either we seize Zhu Qing's opportunity, or we kill Zhu Qing. Only then will we have a way to survive."

As his words fell, ruthlessness bloomed like a flower in Dai Weisi's Blue-Red Heterochromatic Eyes.

Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy, Dean's Office.

"Xiao Ao became a god."

"Rong Rong became a god."

"Xiao San became a god."

"And now Zhu Qing has become a god too."

"There are still six spots left on the Ranking List. Could it be... could three of them be taken by Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu?"

As he thought this to himself, Flender swallowed hard in shock.

All seven students from one academy becoming gods?

Not even a three-year-old would believe it if he told them!

Yet Flender's intuition told him it really was possible!

God of Speed Zhu Qing's monologue continued.

The moment I entered into a Childhood Betrothal with Dai Mubai, the Third Prince of Star Luo, I became part of the Imperial Throne Struggle. Dai Mubai and I were tied to the same rope, and our opponents were my elder sister Zhu Zhuyun and his older brother Dai Weisi.

The victors would become the Star Luo Emperor and Star Luo Empress!

The losers would either die or suffer a fate worse than death.

My elder sister Zhu Zhuyun was seven years older than me.

Dai Mubai was six years younger than his brother Dai Weisi.

Neither Dai Mubai nor I could see any hope of winning this struggle.

Whether from cowardice or despair, Dai Mubai fled the Star Luo Empire and went to the northern Heaven Dou Empire.

When I was twelve, I went alone to the Heaven Dou Empire, solely to find Dai Mubai and have him face fate alongside me.

After asking around, I learned that Dai Mubai was at an advanced Soul Master Academy called Shrek.

So, I went to enroll there as well.

Shrek Academy's admission standards were extremely high. One had to become a Soul Grandmaster by the age of twelve to enter!

Fortunately, I met the requirements and successfully enrolled.

Not long after I entered the academy, our classmate Oscar broke through from a two-ring Soul Grandmaster to a Three-Ring Soul Elder. We then went to the Star Dou Great Forest for a Soul Beast Hunt and Soul Ring Acquisition.

I had thought it would be nothing more than a simple Soul Beast Hunt and Soul Ring Acquisition.

I never expected that trip to the Star Dou Great Forest would nearly cost me my life!
