Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 97: Divine Beast Suzaku
"Old Eagle?" Xu Jiawei noticed that Sky Eagle Douluo had a strange expression, and quickly reminded him softly, his eyes full of confusion.

Given Sky Eagle Douluo's age and experience, why did he lose his composure like that?
"Greetings to His Majesty, His Majesty the Sky Eagle." Lu Jingming stepped forward and saluted respectfully. This was not only a respect for the elder, but also a respect for the Titled Douluo.

Moreover, as the Earl of the Xingluo Empire, he was originally a subject of Xu Jiawei, the Xingluo Emperor.

"You are Earl Haiyuan. It is true that heroes emerge from youth. No wonder the imperial sister often mentions you in front of me." Although Xu Jiawei had already known Lu Jingming's information, he still couldn't help but admire Lu Jingming when he saw him in person. The young man in front of him was indeed heroic and lived up to his expectations.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words." Lu Jingming responded modestly, but he was secretly wondering in his heart, why did he feel that the look Xu Jiawei gave him was somewhat similar to that of Nebula Douluo Manyi?

"I have already told you the purpose of your visit a long time ago. Come, sit down and talk. Lord Li Huang, please take a seat as well." Xu Jiawei patted Lu Jingming's shoulder affectionately and personally pulled him to sit next to him.

At the same time, he also extended an invitation to Changli, and Xu Jiujiu naturally sat next to Lu Jingming without any intention of avoiding suspicion.

Lu Jingming smelled the faint fragrance coming from Xu Jiujiu, and glanced at Xu Jiawei's hand on his shoulder. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these brother and sister were really too passionate.

Looking at Xu Jiawei again, he did not have the majesty of an emperor at all. He even personally made tea for everyone present.

This is the stark difference between the extraordinary world and the ordinary world. We must maintain sufficient respect for the strong, even if they are the powerful rulers of a country.

Lu Jingming’s own strength may not be strong, but behind him stand powerful men like Heita, Jingliu and Changli!

"Sir Li Huang, is your martial spirit the True Phoenix Martial Spirit?" At this moment, Sky Eagle Douluo Song Ying finally couldn't help but ask. This abrupt question made Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu feel very surprised.

Although a person's martial spirit is not a secret and there is no need to deliberately conceal it, it is really inappropriate to ask about it in such an occasion.

However, Xu Jiawei seemed to suddenly remember something, and combined with the question from Sky Eagle Douluo, a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face, and he also looked eagerly at Chang Li.

Chang Li picked up the teacup elegantly and took a sip. Looking at the expectant eyes of Sky Eagle Douluo and the slightly surprised expression of Xu Jiawei, he understood what was going on.

"There's nothing to hide. My martial soul is Suzaku." Changli stated his martial soul very straightforwardly.

"The divine beast Suzaku!" Upon hearing this, everyone present, except Lu Jingming, suddenly changed their expressions and were filled with shock.

The martial soul is Suzaku, not a certain Suzaku, which means it is pure blood, a divine beast martial soul that is even rarer than the True Phoenix martial soul.

"No wonder, now it finally makes sense!" Sky Eagle Douluo muttered to himself.

As soon as Changli appeared, he realized that his martial soul was inexplicably affected, and he had an instinctive sense of submission, which almost affected himself.

At first, he thought Changli possessed the True Phoenix Martial Soul and had a stronger Phoenix bloodline, but he never expected that it was actually the Vermillion Bird.

The phoenix is ​​the king of all birds, and the Vermilion Bird is a pure-blooded phoenix. As a southern divine beast, it is also an extremely powerful existence among pure-blooded phoenixes.

Sky Eagle Douluo's martial spirit is the six-winged sky eagle, both of which are birds, so it's no wonder that he is suppressed.

Moreover, not only was Chang Li's martial soul suppressed, but his soul power level was also higher than his. It would probably be easier for Chang Li to deal with Sky Eagle Douluo than to deal with some ordinary Titled Douluo.

Although he met his nemesis, Sky Eagle Douluo did not show any fear, but was overjoyed instead.

He, Xuan Zi from Shrek Academy, and Du Bu Si from the Benti Sect are almost contemporaries.

But now, he has been stuck at level 97 for more than 50 years, while Xuan Zi and Du Bushi broke through early and even have the possibility of going further.

On the other hand, his own potential has been exhausted. It would be extremely difficult for him to make another breakthrough in this lifetime. Level 97 seems to be the limit of his life.

The Xingluo Empire has no shortage of rare treasures, and he has used up all that he should have over the years. Without a great opportunity, there is no hope of a breakthrough.

But Sky Eagle Douluo never gave up on finding a way to break through. After decades of dedicated research, he finally found a way to evolve his martial soul, which was to obtain the blood essence of a pure-blooded phoenix.

However, there was no trace of the phoenix on the Douluo Continent, let alone a pure-blooded phoenix. In desperation, he could only settle for the second best and look for a soul master with a phoenix martial spirit.

According to his investigation, the descendants of Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix God ten thousand years ago, are most likely to possess the True Phoenix Martial Soul and have a relatively strong Phoenix bloodline.

Unfortunately, Ma Xiaotao of Shrek Academy has impure blood and cannot meet his requirements. Even the Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe's Bright Phoenix cannot satisfy him.

After years of searching, Sky Eagle Douluo had become disheartened and was about to give up, but unexpectedly, Chang Li's appearance gave him hope again.

Xu Jiawei naturally knew everything about Sky Eagle Douluo's situation. After all, Sky Eagle Douluo had used a lot of the Star Luo Empire's resources in the process of searching for the Phoenix's blood essence.

Xu Jiawei also wanted to help Sky Eagle Douluo achieve a breakthrough. In the current Douluo Continent, the most powerful beings are undoubtedly Taotie Douluo of Shrek Academy and Du Bu Si of the Body Sect, both of whom are awe-inspiring Level 98 Super Douluos.

Once Sky Eagle Douluo successfully breaks through, even if his strength is slightly inferior to these two strong men, he will inevitably become a deterrent force that cannot be underestimated.

In this way, the Xingluo Empire will be able to have more say in the Douluo Continent.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiawei had already made a decision in his heart.

He originally wanted to have in-depth discussions with Lu Jingming to see what kind of bargaining chips the other party could offer in exchange for the opportunity to hold the Soul Master Competition in Haiyuan City.

He was extremely optimistic about the development prospects of Lu Jingming and Haiyuan City. Ms. Black Tower, who created the simulated universe, and Xueyue Douluo, whose strength was unfathomable, were both worth winning over by him in any case.

In addition, because of the close relationship between Xu Jiujiu and Lu Jingming, he had originally intended to help Lu Jingming in this matter.

The importance of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is self-evident, but the Star Luo Empire has hosted this competition quite a few times over the years.

The potential benefits of this harvest have already been pocketed. As for the gold soul coins earned from hosting the competition and the noble forces involved in the event, as long as Haiyuan City can offer sufficiently attractive benefits, it is not impossible to persuade those forces to take a step back.

In fact, considering the value of Haiyuan City itself and the relationship between Lu Jingming and Xu Jiujiu, it is actually the easiest to persuade Xu Jiawei.

Although the Xingguan clan is the royal family of the Xingluo Empire, its current situation is much worse than before and has been on a downward trend. Beneath the seemingly glorious surface, there are actually many hidden difficulties.

Take the Star Crown Martial Soul for example, in this generation, only Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu and Xu Yun possess this martial soul.

Such a scarce inheritance directly led to the weakening of the Xingguan Sect's strength and influence.

On the other hand, the lineage of Duke White Tiger has been gaining momentum in recent years and has become extremely powerful.

Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger firmly controls most of the Xingluo Empire's military and holds great power.

Later, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin joined Shrek Academy and showed their potential to become Titled Douluo.

In addition, within the empire, there are several Titled Douluo who support the White Tiger lineage, as well as the strong support of military forces. The current situation is that with just a suitable opportunity, the Xingguan Sect will most likely be forced to abdicate and return the throne to the White Tiger Duke.

Although Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao have a good personal relationship, even if he really returns the throne, he can still obtain the title of Duke of Star Crown, but who would be willing to be a duke if he can't be the emperor?

Xu Jiawei naturally did not want to easily give up the throne that his ancestors had fought for and passed down through untold hardships.

In addition, in recent years, the ambitions of the Sun-Moon Empire have gradually been revealed, its military power has continued to expand, and frictions have frequently been created in border areas. Xu Jiawei keenly realized that a huge crisis was quietly approaching.

The Sun-Moon Empire's evil ambitions kept him awake at night, and every time he thought about the threats the empire might face, he got a headache.

In this precarious situation, seeking powerful allies became his top priority.

Before emerging in Haiyuan City, Xu Jiawei's original ally of choice was Shrek Academy.

With the power and influence of Shrek Academy, if we can reach a cooperation with Shrek Academy and use the power of the academy, it will undoubtedly provide powerful support in the fight against the Sun-Moon Empire.

He had already begun secret preparations at that time, trying to establish contact with Shrek Academy through various channels, hoping that the two sides could work together in the future.

However, the sudden rise of Haiyuan City completely changed Xu Jiawei's plan.

This emerging city rose rapidly under the leadership of Lu Jingming. The existence of powerful figures such as Black Tower and Jingliu behind it made it possess a strength that could not be underestimated.

Xu Jiawei realized that there was no need to look far away. Lu Jingming and his Haiyuan City were the most ideal allies of the Xingguan Sect at the moment.

Xu Jiawei's idea was very simple. Xu Jiujiu and Lu Jingming already had a good relationship. If he could bring the two together and let them get married, then Haiyuan City and Xingguan Sect would be closely connected and become a community of shared destiny.

In this way, it will not only add powerful support to the Xingluo Empire, but also consolidate the position of the Xingguan Sect in the empire.

If this game can be played well, whether it is to deal with the threat of the Sun-Moon Empire or to counter the power of the White Tiger Duke's lineage in the country, we will be in a more advantageous position.

This is the fundamental reason why Xu Jiawei is particularly enthusiastic about Lu Jingming today. He not only wants to obtain the power of Haiyuan City, but also wants to obtain Lu Jingming as a person and make him a member of Xingguan Sect.
