Silver Dragon Spear!

"Golden Dragon Princess!"

"Golden Dragon Princess!"

"Golden Dragon Princess!"

The cheers in the stands rose like waves, each one louder than the last.

Lu Ming spun around, his pale green dress swaying as he smiled.

That's how irresistible I am. Men and women alike will fall at my feet!

Xiao Wu skipped along behind him as they left the Soul Arena together.

The moment they stepped outside, Lu Ming's stomach growled.

It was time for Lu Ming to eat again.

"If I don't come to see you, will you never come to see me?"

A golden-haired beauty stood beside the fountain, her long hair cascading over her shoulders.

Her defined jaw framed a delicate face, and her faintly flushed cheeks were as lovely as cherry blossoms.

It was Qian Renxue. She had dropped her spirit bone's concealment.

She had no need to hide from Lu Ming. Xiao Xiao's strength was already beyond anything she could imagine; seeing through that disguise would be easy for her.

And Lu Ming was so close to Xiao Xiao that he must have known long ago.

There was another reason, too. Appearing here as Xue Qinghe would be inconvenient.

"Xue, Senior Snake Lance, it's been a long time."

Lu Ming greeted them with a smile. Qian Renxue's cheeks reddened further.

People called Qian Renxue a beauty who could bring down kingdoms, but beside Lu Ming, the difference was plain to see.

The Golden Dragon Princess was the true beauty who could topple a city with one smile and a kingdom with the next!

"Hahaha! Young Lu Ming, you really are... remarkable in more ways than one! If the young mistress hadn't told me herself, I wouldn't have recognized you even face-to-face."

Snake Lance Douluo sighed. In all his years, he had never seen anything like it.

"Heh."

Lu Ming laughed awkwardly. Being seen like this by someone he knew made even his thick-skinned face flush.

"Little Lu, what are you grinning about?"

"You still haven't answered my question!"

Qian Renxue rose onto her toes, wobbling as she tried to stand just a little taller than Lu Ming.

"Then why didn't you come to see me?"

"Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, I came to see you first. I made the first move!"

"But you've never once come to see me."

"Haven't you heard of equality between men and women? I'm a man!"

Lu Ming held his head high. Men shouldn't always have to be the ones giving everything.

Lu Ming's argument left Qian Renxue stunned for a moment.

Did that time in the Star Dou Great Forest even count? Didn't he only come looking for me because his stomach was growling?

Qian Renxue's brilliant mind worked itself into a frenzy. She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

"Come on. You're meeting my grandfather!"

Qian Renxue reached out and grabbed Lu Ming's hand, wings unfurling behind her.

Qian Renxue wore gold, while Lu Ming wore green.

Both were breathtakingly beautiful. As they swept across the sky above the imperial city together, the sight seemed almost dreamlike.

Xiao Wu wanted to say something, but held back. From her lord's expression and tone, she could tell the two were very close!

Qian Renxue's hand held his tightly. It felt warm.

"Xue, where is your grandfather?"

Lu Ming had already followed Qian Renxue some distance beyond the imperial city.

He still had to return to the arena tomorrow and make the Golden Dragon's might famous once more.

"At the Worship Hall in Spirit Hall, of course!"

"What?"

"You're joking, right?"

Lu Ming pulled free of Qian Renxue and spread his Flying Thunder Wings!

"Xue, I'm busy!"

Lu Ming's Flying Thunder Wings were so fast that Qian Renxue could barely keep up, even with her Angel Martial Soul.

"Come back! Why did you join Heaven Dou Royal Academy but refuse to enter Spirit Hall? Do you think I wouldn't feed you?"

Qian Renxue called after him. She genuinely wanted to recruit a talent like Lu Ming.

She would even accept him as an equal!

Lu Ming stopped. Delighted, Qian Renxue thought he had decided to go back with her.

"Come out!"

Lu Ming suddenly shouted at the ground below and unleashed his Self-Created Soul Skill, Heavenly Frost Immortal Sword.

Gripping the Heavenly Frost Dragon Roar Sword in his right hand, he sent a flash of icy sword light straight down.

Clang!

The attacks collided with a metallic crash.

A slender figure emerged from the darkness. He wore clothes adorned with gold-colored metal pieces.

Dark makeup framed his brows and eyes. He looked so drained that Lu Ming could have sworn his kidneys were failing.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo? Why are you following us?"

Qian Renxue glanced at Lu Ming first, her gaze shifting.

Only then did she question Chrysanthemum Douluo, displeasure in her voice.

"Haha..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo gave an awkward laugh. Bibi Dong had ordered him to investigate Lu Ming, and he had found the perfect chance.

Xiao Xiao, the Peerless Douluo, was absent. With his strength as a Super Douluo, following a Soul Ancestor should have been effortless!

Yet somehow, Lu Ming had discovered him.

How embarrassing!

"I came on the pontiff's orders to see the young mistress and ask about... the progress of that matter."

He dared not admit he had come specifically to investigate Lu Ming. He might end up dead for it.

Bibi Dong did ask about Qian Renxue's progress from time to time. The excuse was flimsy, but it was the best he had.

Qian Renxue stared coldly at Chrysanthemum Douluo and lowered her voice.

"Tell her I know what I'm doing. She needn't concern herself!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded at once. Just as he turned to leave, Qian Renxue spoke again.

"If there's a next time, I won't let you off lightly!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo clasped his hands before him. Fine beads of sweat covered his forehead.

The young mistress held such a lofty position that a single word from her could cost him his life—or at least a layer of skin!

"Wait!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo kept walking, then kicked off the ground and flew into the sky.

Hah.

I'm a Super Douluo. As if I'd let some nobody push me around!

"I said... stop!"

Lu Ming's voice rose sharply, carrying the Golden Dragon's might!

"Boy, who do you think you are, speaking to me like that?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo refused to back down, though he kept the pressure from his Soul Power restrained.

Lu Ming's gaze sharpened. He put away the Heavenly Frost Dragon Roar Sword...

Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo thought his pressure had worked. Surely Lu Ming now understood what a Super Douluo was.

A junior like him had no right to act so brazenly.

But in the next instant, the smugness vanished from Chrysanthemum Douluo's face.

A silver spear appeared in Lu Ming's hand, and the aura around him changed.

He became cold, still, and deadly.

Lu Ming's black hair turned silvery white. Against the night sky, he seemed as untouchable as an iceberg.

"Silver Dragon Spear, go!"

Lu Ming's voice was beautiful. If he had been the "Golden Dragon Princess" before, he was now the "Silver Dragon Princess"!

The Silver Dragon Spear flew with blinding speed, reaching its target in an instant!

It drove forward with unstoppable force, three elements swirling around its shaft.

The moment it pierced Chrysanthemum Douluo, terrifying elemental power surged into his body.

"How... could this..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo had no time to scream. His pupils slowly lost focus, disbelief still in his eyes.
