Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 19 I Want Your Sister

It all happened so fast that by the time the remaining two guards reacted, the confrontation with Yun Ming was already over. The two exclaimed in surprise and immediately launched an attack; one fired arrows to provide cover, while the other rushed forward to try and bring him back to the Mad Flame Rhinoceros Soul Sect.

"Captain!" x2

Yun Ming watched as the arrow hurtled towards his heart, casually sweeping his Sky-Piercing Spear horizontally. The spear's sharpness sliced ​​the arrow in two, from tip to fletching, before it dissipated into soul power and vanished into the air.

The Longbow Soul Master was also surprised to see Yun Ming so easily destroy his soul skill arrow in half.

However, as Yun Ming swept his spear across the field and the dust settled, Zhu Zhuyun, who had been distracted by Yun Ming's movements, was shocked to discover that Yun Ming had no spirit rings under his feet.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun, who was "teasing" her younger sister in the distance, stopped and stepped back. Zhu Zhuqing got a chance to catch her breath. Her previous back injury had been too much; if Zhu Zhuyun had been more serious or dragged it out any longer, she wouldn't have been able to hold on!

Zhu Zhuyun's knowledge was far broader than that of her guards. One of her Zhu family's exceptionally talented great-uncles could achieve the feat of "the martial soul appearing but the soul ring not showing," which was a demonstration of an extremely high level of control over the martial soul.

Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Yun Ming, and when she saw that there were really no spirit rings under Yun Ming's feet, her big eyes widened even more.

That's right! Yun Ming did indeed hide his spirit rings. Because he absorbed too many spirit rings beyond his level, and his spirit ring configuration was yellow, purple, and black, he specifically studied how to hide his spirit rings.

Having experienced absorbing spirit rings, Yun Ming discovered that there seemed to be only two key factors: the speed at which his martial soul refined the spirit ring and the strength of his own body. The so-called limit on the lifespan of spirit rings was suitable for most soul masters, but it was too general and crude.

Yun Ming's soul ring refining speed far surpasses that of others of the same level due to the strength of his own martial soul and the power hidden within the Sky-Piercing Spear protecting him.

Regarding physical strength, Yun Ming had heard from his grandfather that even the brutes of the Clear Sky Sect used very primitive methods to train their bodies, which involved pushing their physical limits and then recovering. This method had its limitations; it could bring strength and defense in specific areas, but it also had some shortcomings that couldn't be improved much, such as the meridians, which couldn't provide much help for a Soul Master to absorb Soul Rings. Otherwise, everyone in the Clear Sky Sect would have been able to absorb Soul Rings beyond their level long ago.

Yun Ming is different; he also possesses the internal body-refining technique "Ruling the World".

Yun Ming discovered that the "Reign of the World" body tempering technique works from the inside out, and the slower increase in soul power wasn't entirely without its advantages. The slower increase meant a longer time to reach the soul power bottleneck, which also extended the time Yun Ming spent cultivating his qi and blood—that is, tempering his physical body—through "Reign of the World." With this combined internal and external cultivation, Yun Ming's physical strength increased much faster than his soul power, though it was quite expensive and required a lot of medicinal herbs. This was also a major reason why Yun Ming's second and third soul rings far exceeded their limits.

"stop!"

Zhu Zhuyun reacted quickly upon seeing this and hurriedly ordered her men to stop.

When Zhu Zhuyun saw Yun Ming's Sky-Piercing Spear, she didn't recognize what kind of martial soul the transparent and ethereal spear belonged to. However, to have such a high level of control over a martial soul at such a young age, and to instantly defeat her trusted squad leader despite being of a higher level, such a super genius must come from a top-tier soul master power. Although she didn't know if it was the Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, such a talent must have powerful protectors by his side. She couldn't let the fight continue!

However, Zhu Zhuyun thought again and realized that her plan could be completed more smoothly.

Then, as if changing her expression, Zhu Zhuyun put on a charming smile again and whispered to Yun Ming.

"I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness just now. Please forgive me, young master."

Seeing Zhu Zhuyun's change of expression as easily as flipping through a book, Yun Ming admired the children of these powerful families for their ability to bend and stretch! Seeing this, Yun Ming sheathed his Sky-Piercing Spear and said to Zhu Zhuyun indifferently.

"Miss Zhu, you flatter me. But I really don't want to forgive you so easily today!"

Hearing Yun Ming's pointed remark, Zhu Zhuyun was puzzled. Although it wasn't quite what she had expected, there was still something to talk about. Zhu Zhuyun put on a pitiful expression and asked...

"Then what does Young Master desire regarding Zhu Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming pointed at Zhu Zhuqing and said something quite remarkable for someone his age in a calm tone.

"I want your sister."

The Zhu sisters were stunned by Yun Ming's outrageous words. After Zhu Zhuqing came to her senses, a faint blush rose on her pale face, which had been pale from blood loss, and she spat out a soft "tsk".

"lecher!"

Although Zhu Zhuyun was a little confused at first, she realized that if Zhu Zhuqing could really follow the boy in front of her, it would be a good choice, at least better than her sister going to find that coward. However, she still had to test the boy's determination.

Zhu Zhuyun's face turned cold, and she looked at the boy wearing the ghost mask with a solemn expression, and said sternly.

"Does sir know what you're saying? My sister is the future Third Prince's consort, appointed by the Star Luo Emperor. Aren't you showing a blatant disrespect to Star Luo?"

When Yun Ming heard Zhu Zhuyun mention the Star Luo Empire, his tone remained unchanged, still as calm as ever, and he casually replied.

"Didn't I wear a mask? Isn't that enough to make Xingluo take me seriously?"

Zhu Zhuyun and her guards: "."

Zhu Zhuyun was genuinely angry when she heard the arrogant response from the boy opposite her. With a furious expression and clenched teeth, she asked her final question, word by word.

"What if I don't hand them over?!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Seeing that Miss Zhu across from him looked like she was about to explode, Yun Ming raised his Sky-Piercing Spear, pointing it directly at Zhu Zhuyun, and finally his tone became more serious.

"Then defeat you all, and take her away!"

Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily stunned when she heard the masked man so determined to take her away. Although she felt that the man had no good intentions, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

Zhu Zhuyun, however, laughed in anger. Yun Ming wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that while there was anger in Zhu Zhuyun's smile, there was also a hint of joy mixed in with it. Then Zhu Zhuyun said in a cold voice.

"Hehe~"

"Good! Very good!!!"

"In that case, I'll leave my sister in your care, young master!"

After speaking with Yun Ming, Zhu Zhuyun turned and rushed towards the Star Luo Empire, ignoring even her guards. The remaining two sober guards, seeing their young lady had left in anger, knew they were no match for the masked man, so they silently carried their captain and chased after her.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuyun and the other two had really left, Yun Ming turned to look at another young lady of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing, who was also present.

Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhu Zhuyun had really left, but when she saw the masked man looking at her, her heart, which had just settled, jumped again. She had just escaped one danger only to fall into another! Zhu Zhuqing lamented her tragic fate.

Zhu Zhuqing originally wanted to escape from this place, but the wound on her waist had been bleeding heavily since she was injured. As soon as she put her legs up, she felt a wave of weakness and lost her balance, eventually collapsing to the ground.
