The royal concubine was indeed quite beautiful, with snow-white skin and a graceful figure; she was truly an absolute beauty.
Unfortunately, it wasn't very bright and was eventually marginalized, becoming nothing more than a so-called "keyboard cat".
"Wake up! If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to leave you here all alone."
Lu Yuan spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.
Since Zhu Zhuqing has spoken, it means that she has regained a lot of consciousness.
He should wake up soon. He came to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his fifth spirit ring, not specifically to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
Besides, he already has quite a few women around him. His junior sister and senior sister Dugu have become increasingly clingy to him over the years, which is so annoying that it has slowed down his cultivation speed.
"No...no, I'll get up right now."
A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz came from Zhu Zhuqing's mouth, and she opened her eyes in fear.
She looked around hopefully, and finally her gaze settled on Lu Yuan's face.
"Thank you sir for saving my life."
Lu Yuan looked at the pale-faced girl who had hurriedly gotten up, his expression unchanged, and simply shook his head slightly.
"It wasn't me who saved you, you were just lucky."
"Alright, now that you're awake, I'll take my leave."
Lu Yuan was too lazy to explain anything further, and even less inclined to get involved in the sisters' rivalry.
His fifth spirit ring is far more important than these meaningless things.
"Young master, please don't leave. Could you please protect me for a while? I'd like to meditate a bit."
Zhu Zhuqing quickly spoke up and reached out to grab Lu Yuan.
"No need. Don't come near me. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. I'll protect you for a while."
"Also, don't call me 'Young Master,' just call me Lu Yuan."
At least for now, Lu Yuan didn't want Zhu Zhuqing to get close to him.
However, his concession immediately surprised Zhu Zhuqing.
Then her gaze softened. As the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing had seen many noblemen, and she knew that most men were inherently lustful.
Lu Yuan's actions truly impressed her, and she even developed a certain fondness for him.
She was confident in her appearance and believed she was definitely a beauty.
"Thank you very much, sir."
Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then sat down on the ground.
As soon as she sat down on the ground, she couldn't help but frown slightly, her face showing a mixture of pain and confusion.
Why does my butt hurt so much? It feels like I've been kicked dozens of times.
I shouldn't have been injured while I was running away, so how did this happen?
Although she was filled with confusion and bewilderment, she could only suppress the thought for the time being and focus on restoring her soul power.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Zhuqing finally regained her soul power. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Lu Yuan holding water and thin porridge.
"Come and wash up when you wake up. I made you some porridge, so have some yourself."
"Your body is a bit weak from traveling for so long. It would be best to rest and recuperate for a while."
"I'll keep an eye on things around here for you, and I'll leave once you've recovered."
Lu Yuan shrugged, placed everything in front of Zhu Zhuqing, and then strode away from her sight.
Seeing his actions, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes softened even more, and her usually cold face showed even more joy.
"Lu Yuan is truly a strange man..."
Chapter 57 Fifth Soul Ring: Kui Niu!
After wiping her body, Zhu Zhuqing changed into a purple dress.
As she walked out slowly, Lu Yuan couldn't help but nod.
Wearing a purple dress, she had a unique charm at that moment, and even he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Now that you have recovered enough, young lady, I should take my leave."
"The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, we will have a good chat."
Lu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing at this moment and immediately spoke.
He still had some goodwill towards Zhu Zhuqing, who hadn't yet become a mere accessory; after all, being good-looking was always pleasing to the eye.
"Lu Yuan, my name is Zhu Zhuqing. You saved me, and I will repay you in the future."
When Zhu Zhuqing heard that Lu Yuan was about to leave, her face immediately tightened, and she spoke very seriously.
"There's no need for that. Actually, I wasn't the one who saved you."
"I'm just a passerby. Think about it carefully, consider the difference between your own strength and the group that's chasing you, and you'll probably be able to deduce something."
Before leaving, Lu Yuan casually said something, and before Zhu Zhuqing could ask any questions, his figure disappeared in a flash of lightning.
Watching Lu Yuan disappear before her eyes, Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for a moment.
As a mere Great Soul Master, could I really escape from the clutches of a Soul Sect Master and several Soul Venerables?
Did my sister never intend to kill me at all?
Upon arriving at the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, Lu Yuan immediately channeled his soul power into Di Tian's Reverse Scale!
As time went by, the air suddenly became hot and dry. Looking up, he immediately saw a ball of fire rushing towards him!
As the flames crashed down in front of him, Lu Yuan finally saw clearly who was at the center of the fire.
The three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, a ferocious beast with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation, is the Crimson King!
"Lu Yuan, Di Tian sent me to pick you up. It's only been a little over two years, and I never expected you to have already become a Soul King!"
The Crimson King landed on the ground, glanced at Lu Yuan, and immediately spoke with some surprise.
As a ferocious beast, time is completely worthless to him; two years is just a blink of an eye.
"For the sake of my lord, I must diligently cultivate myself."
"Only in this way can I live up to the trust and high regard that the Lord has for me."
When dealing with these ferocious beasts, as long as you steer the conversation towards "for the sake of the master," these beasts will become a little too naive.
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the Crimson King happily squatted down his massive body, indicating that he could jump up.
He did not refuse, and sat on the back of the Crimson King, and the two of them rushed towards the Lake of Life.
As Lu Yuan arrived at the Lake of Life, several figures immediately looked over.
"You've arrived. In just two years, you've raised your cultivation to level fifty. It seems you haven't let down the Lord's kindness."
“This time, I will still be in charge of your fifth spirit ring, so you can tell me your needs and I will do my best to help you achieve them.”
Di Tian's lifelong dream was to revive the Dragon Clan and lead the Soul Beasts back to the God Realm, so even though Lu Yuan was a human, he was still willing to help.
Lu Yuan was invited by the Lord, received the Lord's approval, and was a genius who had received the blessings of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings. He was a promising candidate to become a god in the future.
Suppressed by the Douluo Continent, Di Tian knew that he had almost no chance of becoming a god. In the future, when his lord attacked the God Realm, he would need to have helpers by his side.
In his opinion, Lu Yuan was a good candidate. At least, apart from being a bit annoying, he was fine in every other way. He was also hardworking in his cultivation. Despite having the highest attributes, he was still able to reach level 50 at the age of twelve, which was enough to make him a serious person.
"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Di Tian. My fifth soul ring requires a soul beast that is at least 70,000 years old. If possible, I'd like a soul beast with a strong bloodline."
In the world of spirit beasts, race can almost determine future growth and strength. For spirit masters, the spirit skills produced by low-race spirit beasts with high age may not be as good as those produced by high-race spirit beasts with low age.
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
Di Tian nodded, and then his figure disappeared.
Lu Yuan didn't even have to wait long before Di Tian returned safely.
He was dragging a Kui Niu that was tens of meters long in his hands. Lu Yuan recognized this kind of soul beast at a glance.
It had pale blue skin, no horns, and only one foot.
With its body brimming with extreme lightning, Lu Yuan could only say that it truly lived up to its reputation as a Kui Niu with the bloodline of a divine beast.
In Douluo Continent, the Kui Niu is a top-tier soul beast, no weaker than the True Dragon and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
"Lu Yuan, let this Kui Niu be your fifth spirit ring!"
"He should be able to provide you with a decent soul skill."
"This Kui Niu once fought against one of your human titled Douluo. Although it escaped in the end, it was seriously injured as a result."
"I helped him kill that Title Douluo, and it said it would thank me. I asked it if it would be willing to become your spirit ring, and it agreed without hesitation. I hope you will not let it down."
Di Tian gave Lu Yuan a deep look, his expression somewhat complicated.
Although the soul beast race believes in the survival of the fittest, the fact that they obeyed his orders to become human soul rings still made Di Tian feel somewhat strange.
"I will not let you down. In the future, if I have the ability, I will never let you down."
Lu Yuan stepped forward hastily, looked down at the Kui Niu in front of him, who was clearly on the verge of death and whose eyes were filled with the intent of death, nodded and spoke solemnly.
When Lu Yuan finished speaking, the Kui Niu's lifeless eyes clearly showed some fluctuation, and then a large amount of soul power surged from its body.
This soul power surged directly into Lu Yuan's body, and upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, it actually began to sacrifice itself.
This scene immediately made Di Tian sigh.
If this Kui Niu hadn't been severely injured a hundred years ago, it would have had the chance to live for over 100,000 years, or even survive the heavenly tribulation and become one of them.
What a pity!
At this moment, Lu Yuan closed his eyes as his soul power broke through to level fifty.
Once again, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and dense lightning struck repeatedly, hitting Lu Yuan's head time and time again.
This tribulation was much stronger than before; Di Tian even felt that it was no weaker than the tribulation of an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast.
A golden, winged phantom of thunder reappeared behind Lu Yuan. Although it was not the thunder god seen in ancient times, this phantom made Di Tian even more aweful, and even believed that it had strength far exceeding that of the thunder god!
"The king of lightning, a true spirit formed from condensed elements, this is a powerhouse no less than the Dragon God!"
“Lu Yuan’s future is limitless, and he may even surpass me.”
Gu Yuena appeared quietly, muttering to herself, her face full of curiosity.
Chapter 58 Fifth Soul Skill: Instant Thunder Flash!
"No matter how outstanding Lu Yuan's talent is, it's unlikely he could surpass you, my lord. You are the Dragon God..."
Di Tian didn't believe it. The Dragon God was the greatest being in his heart and the leader of the Dragon Clan. Gu Yuena, as half of the Dragon God, inherited the Dragon God's elements and was an existence that could rival the five God Kings of the God Realm.
No matter how talented Lu Yuan is, how could he possibly compare to such a lord, let alone surpass him?
"No, his future will surpass mine, because I can't see through his martial spirit at all!"
"If I could stay by his side for an extended period, I might be able to notice, but I'd rather not."
Gu Yuena shook her head. She hadn't completely made up her mind about rebuilding her martial soul yet. Besides, although she was somewhat interested in Lu Yuan's martial soul, she wasn't that interested; it was still within her tolerance range.
As long as Lu Yuan is on her side, there are no problems for Gu Yuena.
Di Tian pursed his lips, looking at Lu Yuan who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes. How unfair was Heaven to the Soul Beast race? The suppression of the plane even prevented him from becoming a god.
As the current patriarch of the Black Dragon King clan, Di Tian once followed the Dragon God and held a high position. He was hailed as the most promising candidate to become a Dragon King-level powerhouse, but now it is truly a pity.
"Your subordinate will assist Lu Yuan diligently and ensure that he does not slack off in his cultivation so that he can help you as soon as possible. However, are we being too lenient with Lu Yuan?"
Although Di Tian had already considered Lu Yuan as one of his own, he was still somewhat wary of Lu Yuan because of his human identity.
"I believe in the Water and Fire Dragon King, and besides, a genius who can surpass me would not stoop to lying."
Gu Yuena shook her head. Although most humans often break their promises, true geniuses never go back on their word. Since he promised her, he would stand by her side in the future. Gu Yuena firmly believed in this principle.
Under Gu Yuena's watchful gaze, Lu Yuan's absorption of the soul ring finally came to an end. The lightning tribulation and heavenly might in the sky slowly dissipated, and the storm surrounding Lu Yuan also gradually disappeared.
"Lightning Flash, so this is my fifth soul skill? It's not unexpected!"
