228 Zhu Zhuqing Falls into DarknessIn the viewing area of the Spirit Hall Academy, Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue watched in amazement the entire process of Lü Buliang and Zhu Zhuyun launching their spirit fusion technique, and couldn't help but recall their experience in the Death Canyon.
At that time, because of the trial of Lingyuan Douluo, Hu Liena, Xie Yue and Yan were fighting a desperate battle with a death spider whose cultivation was over ten thousand years. In the critical moment, Lu Buliang suddenly made a move and forced Hu Liena to launch the martial soul fusion skill, Shadow Demon Fox.
Xie Yue and Yan still remember that scene.
"Nana, did you see that?" Xie Yue said solemnly, "This is Lü Buliang's soul skill. At that time, you were just like Zhu Zhuyun, and you somehow merged your spirit with Lü Buliang."
Listening to her brother's explanation, Hu Liena looked at the Shadow Evil Tiger on the ring in disbelief. Because she was unconscious at the time, she had no memory of it at all.
"Xie Yue, it seems that you and Nana's martial soul fusion technique will not be able to be used when we meet Lü Buliang in the finals." Yan said bitterly: "Without the martial soul fusion technique, it will be difficult for us to defeat him. If we lose, the Pope will send us to the Death Canyon to practice for two years!"
Xie Yue's tone was a little extreme. "Lu Buliang is a scoundrel. It's against the rules to participate in the competition as a Soul Emperor, and he even has a trick to deal with the martial soul fusion technique. It seems that he has made sufficient preparations for this elite competition."
The audience was once again filled with heated discussions, exclamations, and sighs.
On the stage, a Phantom Evil God Tiger let out a terrifying roar. No thunderclouds appeared in the sky, but black lightning flashed.
Looking at the eight-meter-tall ghostly evil tiger that appeared before him, Davis was a little numb at the moment. First, he was forced to cancel the martial soul fusion technique, and then he was seriously injured by Zhu Zhuyun, and then he went to fuse with other men.
Davis had to endure a double blow, both physically and mentally. Zhu Zhuyun was his fiancée, the future Crown Princess of the Xingluo Empire!
Apart from the White Tiger Martial Soul of the Xingluo Imperial Family, Davis simply couldn't think of any other family's tiger Martial Soul that could initiate a Martial Soul Fusion Technique with the Nether Spirit Cat. Could it be that Lü Buliang was from the Black Tiger Sect?
"Asshole, I won't forgive you--" Davis didn't care about the injuries on his body. The future Crown Princess betrayed him and merged with another man. This was not only a humiliation to him, but also a disgrace to the Star Luo Empire.
At this moment, Davis just wanted to tear Lu Buliang to pieces.
However, he was seriously injured and had no strength to fight again. His anger made the pain in his chest more intense, and he weakly half-knelt on the ground.
Suddenly, a strong black wind blew up on the ring. The wind attribute and the dark attribute mixed and compressed in front of the jaws of the Shadow Evil God Tiger. A roaring wind blasted out from the tiger's mouth, forming a vortex-shaped black hurricane ray that shot towards Davis rapidly.
Staring closely at the approaching hurricane ray, Davis' pupils shrank slightly. He tried his best to use the White Tiger Shield to block it, but was knocked off the ring by the blow and lost the qualification for the competition.
Lu Buliang cancelled his martial soul fusion technique, and the huge shadow evil tiger turned into black light and disappeared.
The word "shadow" engraved on his forehead faded away, Zhu Zhuyun's white hair returned to its original color, black air no longer came out of his body, and his scarlet eyes returned to normal.
She was no longer in the dark state and was held in Lu Buliang's hand, but she had already lost consciousness.
Lu Buliang threw Zhu Zhuyun out of the ring and deliberately threw her next to Davis.
Davis covered his chest with his hands. The hurricane ray just now had injured his chest, making him unable to utter a sound for a while. He glanced at Zhu Zhuyun who was unconscious beside him, and then glared at Lu Buliang with angry eyes, but was speechless.
Lu Buliang gave Davis a thumbs up and praised: "Your fiancée is awesome."
He was telling the truth. The Shadow Evil God Tiger formed by fusion with the level 47 Zhu Zhuyun was indeed more powerful than when it was fused with the level 38 Zhu Zhuqing, and the sense of comfort produced by the fusion of martial souls was also stronger.
If the hurricane ray had not shown mercy just now, Davis would have been crushed into meat paste.
Davis was able to avoid fainting at first with his strong will, but when he heard Lu Buliang praising his fiancée, he became so angry that he had difficulty breathing. The severe pain in his chest made him lose consciousness, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the ground.
"The game is over. Team 2 of Tiandou Royal Academy is playing against Team Xingluo Royal Academy. Team 2 of Tiandou is the winner and advances to the next round. Team Xingluo Royal Academy is eliminated."
After the referee announced the result of the match, the whole audience burst into applause. The audience, who were surprised by Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's martial soul fusion technique, were once again shocked by Lu Buliang's and Zhu Zhuyun's martial soul fusion technique.
The audience present were all soul masters, so they were even more shocked.
In the elite competition, the only trick that could defeat the Soul Emperor Lü Buliang, apart from the seven-in-one fusion technique similar to that of Canghui Academy, was the martial soul fusion technique. However, Lü Buliang's soul skill could forcibly cancel the opponent's martial soul fusion technique.
With such an invincible existence, is it necessary for the finals to continue?
Watching Lü Buliang leading the members of Tiandou Team 2 to leave the ring, Yan said helplessly: "Xie Yue, what should we do? We should report the situation to the Pope later. Lü Buliang is too abnormal, we can never beat him. Competing with him for the championship, isn't this a joke?"
Xie Yue thought about it and looked at Hu Liena, "Nana, what do you think?"
Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, her eyes moved away from Tiandou Team 2 and returned to her companions, "Brother, Yan, I have estimated it. When we were training in Death Canyon before, we saw Lu Buliang's strength. To be honest, if we don't use the martial soul fusion technique, we can't beat him at all. Perhaps, we should give some advice to the Pope."
"What's your opinion?" Xie Yue and Yan asked almost at the same time.
Hu Liena said seriously, "Let the organizer and co-organizer reach an agreement and temporarily change the rules of the competition. If one team after another competes like this, the final champion will undoubtedly be Tiandou Team 2. Instead of doing this, why not change the rules of the competition from a one-on-one team match to a free-for-all. Let the college teams that advance to the next round compete together, and the winner will be decided in one game. The team standing on the stage at the end will be the champion. If there is a big free-for-all, maybe we can use up Lu Buliang's physical and spiritual strength, and we may be able to win the championship."
"Do you think the organizer and co-organizer will agree to such competition rules?" Xie Yue said thoughtfully: "Even if the organizer agrees, will the participating college teams agree? Will Tiandou Team 2 agree?"
"Why not?" Hu Liena smiled slightly. "In a melee, we might be able to use up all of Lü Buliang's physical strength and soul power and defeat him by fighting in a round-robin manner. As long as the participating college teams make corresponding tactical arrangements, anyone can win the championship. Otherwise, the champion will definitely be Tiandou Team 2. As for whether Tiandou Team 2 will agree, I think they will. Lü Buliang once fought against Tianshui College without using his spirit in the preliminaries. This is enough to prove that he is a very confident, even stubborn person. Since the outcome can be decided in one game, he will definitely agree to the rules of the melee."
Xie Yue pondered for a moment and felt that there was some truth in it.
"That's a good idea." Yan looked at Xie Yue and said, "If it really turns into a big melee, then we just need to wait for Tianshui College to use the martial soul fusion technique to fight Lü Buliang. Xie Yue, you and Nana can use the martial soul fusion technique, then you don't have to worry."
Xie Yue immediately understood what he meant, "You mean that after Lv Buliang forcibly canceled Tianshui College's martial soul fusion technique, he can no longer cancel Nana and I's martial soul fusion technique?"
Yan nodded, "That's right. The martial soul fusion technique consumes a lot of soul power. How could Lu Buliang use it multiple times in one game?"
Xie Yue smiled knowingly and looked at Hu Liena, "Sister, then do as you think!"
"Okay." Hu Liena nodded silently, "Let's go to the Pope's Palace now and propose a big melee to the teacher."
"."
Lu Buliang led the members of Tiandou Team 2 away from the ring and returned to their exclusive lounge to rest.
When passing through the corridor, a person blocked the way of the Tiandou Second Team, "Lü Buliang."
Li Gang frowned when he heard a woman's voice calling his captain. He wondered if it was a beautiful girl from Tianshui College.
What disappointed Li Gang was that the person who came this time was not Shui Yue'er or anyone from Tianshui Academy, but a female soul master from Shrek Academy.
"Your name is Zhu Zhuqing, right?" Li Gang had a preconceived notion and said unhappily, "I remember you were the main player of Shrek Academy. Why are you here to see our captain?"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Lu Buliang and asked, "Can we talk alone?"
Lu Buliang nodded.
After instructing Li Gang and others to review today's battle with Xingluo Royal Academy during their break, Lu Buliang opened the space channel and came to a meadow a thousand meters away from the finals venue with Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing followed Lu Buliang to the center of the grass, hesitating and not saying a word.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lu Buliang stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Congratulations, your Tiandou Team 2 has entered the next round of the finals." Zhu Zhuqing said lightly.
Lu Buliang smiled, "Thank you."
After a moment of silence, the confusion in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned into determination, and she said, "The power you gave me is really useful to me. If it weren't for the help of Shadow Contract, I would have lost miserably. Although I failed to defeat Xingluo Royal Academy, I still defeated my sister. I am satisfied. You can take your power back. I don't need it anymore. Thank you."
"Is it because it is too weak?" asked Lu Buliang.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "No, the power of Shadow Contract is very strong, but I am too weak. Losing to Xingluo Royal Academy in yesterday's game means that I will be punished by the Xingluo Royal Family and my family. Even if I have a powerful force, I cannot resist the fate of my family. This may be my fate."
Lu Buliang looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "In fact, you haven't succumbed to the fate of your family yet."
"Thank you for your comfort." Zhu Zhuqing's cold face showed a hint of calmness, "But I know that I lost."
"The fate you really have to face is not to defeat your sister and seize the right to survive. What you have to face is the sanctions from your family. That is the fate that determines your life or death."
Lu Buliang said: "Before your family's sanctions come, you still have time to become stronger. Strong enough to resist them."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with resentment as she stared at Lü Buliang, "But Davis is already 23 years old, and it's only two years before he turns 25. In two years, no matter how much I practice, even if I can rebel against my family, I won't be able to rebel against the Xingluo royal family."
Lu Buliang thought for a moment and suggested, "I have a place where you can practice. Stay there for two years and you will definitely become stronger. By then, you can use the power of the Shadow Contract and it will be enough for you to face the threat of the Xingluo Royal Family."
Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled, "Where?"
"The dark world. A space filled with dark energy. You can think of it as a simulated training ground." Lu Buliang said, "The Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Spirit is definitely a dark martial spirit. Practicing in a dark simulated environment will be of great benefit to you. You should be able to feel it when you use the Shadow Contract, right?"
"The Nether Spirit Cat and the dark energy of Shadow Contract complement each other. If the Nether Spirit Cat martial spirit can acquire the dark attribute, it will truly awaken into 'Nether'."
At this point, Lü Buliang was also observing the changes in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and continued: "When you have enough strength, you can use your own power to resist the sanctions of the Xingluo royal family and the family. You can live freely and no longer be restricted by the fate of the family."
"You should be able to judge how credible my words are. There is an opportunity in front of you to become stronger and change your fate. If you don't seize it, you have no right to complain."
After hearing what Lu Buliang said, Zhu Zhuqing fell into deep thought. She has never been a person who sits and waits for death. If she can change everything through her own efforts, she will choose to fight for it.
What's more, he would be sanctioned by the Xingluo royal family and clan in two years, and would either be deposed or killed.
Instead of choosing to fall like Dai Mubai and ending his life in a daze, it is better to seize this opportunity to see if he can really become stronger and whether he can really resist the fate two years later.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Buliang with a hint of doubt in her heart, "Why are you willing to help me?"
Lu Buliang smiled, "Because darkness will not abandon anyone."
It was a simple sentence, but it made Zhu Zhuqing stunned. The word "abandon" was like a sharp knife piercing her heart.
Abandoned by her family and abandoned twice by a hopeless coward, Zhu Zhuqing has now lost all hope. She has endured too much pain, so she yearns for the feeling of darkening and longs for the embrace of darkness, so that she can release all the burdens and negative emotions in her heart.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were already filled with tears when she thought of the various tortures brought upon her by the cruel competition in the family. She had never shown such a vulnerable side in front of others, but when she heard "I will not abandon her", her defense was really broken, and the warmth in her heart spread throughout her body. At this moment, she seemed to have found her own place to stay. She was no longer an abandoned stray cat, and she could also have a bright future like everyone else.
Lü Buliang extended his hand to Zhu Zhuqing, his voice calm but full of temptation, "Fall into darkness with me, that is where you belong."
In the endless ideological struggle, a black word "shadow" appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead. Her slender and narrow fingers touched the hand that Lu Buliang extended. After a moment's silence, she decided that she would seize the future with her own hands.
Without any hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing held Lu Buliang's hand tightly and followed him into the dark world.
The moment he tricked Zhu Zhuqing into the dark world, Lu Buliang's goal was achieved. The pair of underworld sisters born from darkness were still missing one person.
