Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 30 Breaking Free from Shackles, Reborn

Wherever the Sky-Piercing Spear passed, the claw-like rays vanished without a trace, creating an extremely bizarre scene. Yun Ming's Sky-Piercing Spear clearly didn't encounter many claw-like rays, yet wherever the spear passed, all the claw-like rays above, below, and in all directions were shattered, as if Yun Ming wasn't wielding a Sky-Piercing Spear, but rather a shield.

And the facts were indeed quite similar. Yun Ming's sweeping spear technique was just a basic spear technique. The key to breaking the move with one spear was that the space above and below the Sky-Supporting Spear was restricted. The claw-like light was not a physical object. After being restricted and suppressed, its soul power structure was destroyed, so it would dissipate directly.

Dai Mubai was shocked to see Yun Ming so easily break his supposedly deadly tactic, but Yun Ming didn't give him a second chance this time. The Sky-Piercing Spear swept away the surrounding claw-like energy and continued its trajectory towards Dai Mubai's legs, golden light illuminating the spear – it was the "Reign Supreme" technique!

Although the ordinary "Ruling the World" is not as powerful as "Royal Power", "Ruling the World" has its advantages, namely that it does not require charging up!

As Dai Mubai saw the Sky-Piercing Spear getting closer and closer, he initially wanted to resist. However, just as he was about to move, he felt a resistance in the space restricting his movements—it was an "anti-air" effect! Before he could break through the resistance, the Sky-Piercing Spear had already slammed into his legs.

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

Dai Mubai's legs were broken by Yun Ming's spear. Even though Dai Mubai was under the protection of the White Tiger Barrier and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he still could not withstand the Heaven-Piercing Spear of "Reigning Supreme".

The instant he was struck by the Sky-Piercing Shot, Dai Mubai's already crumbling mental defenses, which were nearly broken by Yun Ming, were shattered, and he passed out, not even feeling the pain of his broken leg. Of course, having one's mental defenses so brutally shattered was far more intense than the pain of a broken leg.

Zhu Zhuqing watched as Yun Ming so easily defeated Dai Mubai, a look of surprise appearing on her usually cold face. Although she knew from the beginning that Yun Ming was strong, she was still somewhat astonished to see him defeat a Soul Master of the same level so easily, as if it were as easy as eating and drinking.

After Yun Ming finished fighting, he turned around and saw Zhu Zhuqing's surprised expression. He found the contrast rather endearing and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Upon seeing Yun Ming smile at her, Zhu Zhuqing quickly composed herself, turning her head to look at the scenery, as if she hadn't been the one who had just been laughing. If Yun Ming hadn't noticed Zhu Zhuqing's ears turning red, he might have truly believed she could pretend nothing had happened!

Yun Ming didn't expose Zhu Zhuqing's secret. A yellow soul ring appeared under his feet, and upon closer inspection, some silver patterns could be seen. The soul ring shone brightly, and Yun Ming activated his first soul skill, "Source of Void"!

Although Yun Ming's three soul skills have been practically useless these past few years, rarely used against others, he's been able to easily dominate opponents and clansmen using only his soul power to enhance his spear techniques! However, Yun Ming hasn't given up on developing his soul skills, especially his first soul skill, "Origin of the Void." Now, Yun Ming has not only developed the two signature abilities of the Void God Leopard, "Void Rift" and "Etherealization," based on "Origin of the Void," but also some others, such as the representative space-type soul skill, "Teleportation"!

After activating 'Source of the Void', Yun Ming's body flashed with silver light, and then he disappeared from the spot.

Zhu Zhuqing caught a glimpse of Yun Ming disappearing out of the corner of her eye, and her heart skipped a beat. Although she didn't know why, Yun Ming had obviously left on his own, so she could only wait patiently.

The onlookers dispersed when the fight was over. The twins who had come to the hotel with Dai Mubai, seeing that the renowned Soul Master genius of Soto City, Young Master Dai, had offended that person and been easily defeated, even having his leg broken, hurriedly tried to escape while Yun Ming had vanished without a trace, fearing that Yun Ming would also punish them.

Zhu Zhuqing saw them, but ignored them.

Not long after, the silver light reappeared where Yun Ming had left, and Yun Ming reappeared in the same spot. Zhu Zhuqing saw that Yun Ming's clothes were still the same as before, and he did not seem to be injured. She felt relieved and asked.

"What happened?"

Yun Ming said casually.

"It's nothing!"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss. Before she could ask any further questions, Yun Ming, with a kind smile, spoke to the still-shocked hotel receptionist.

"Hello?! Can you help me with something?"

Upon hearing Yun Ming's invitation to help, the receptionist snapped out of her daze and cautiously sized up the handsome young man before her. She was astonished! This smiling, kind young man was so ruthless; he could break a leg so easily! She replied respectfully.

"Please speak?"

Yun Ming spoke calmly.

"Send someone to Shrek Academy to tell them to send someone to pick up the person. I'll wait for them here."

That's right. When Yun Ming saw Dai Mubai start to recklessly attack him, he had already decided on a plan: to have Shrek Academy come to him. Why not take advantage of a ready-made opportunity instead of having to go looking for it himself?

Hearing Yun Ming's "arrogant" attitude and the fact that he was waiting for Shrek Academy to come and pick him up, the receptionist was also taken aback and hurriedly spoke up to advise him.

"Sir, these Shrek people... they're not so easy to get along with!"

"Oh?"

Yun Ming was surprised to see that the receptionist seemed to know something about Shrek Academy. Was he really that lucky? He'd just arrived in Soto City and already run into Dai Mubai and the insider?!

In fact, although Yun Ming was lucky, the probability of encountering Dai Mubai or someone in the know about Shrek Academy at the hotel entrance was still relatively high.

Shrek Academy has been rooted in Soto City for twenty years, and it remains quite unconventional. For the locals of Soto City, regardless of whether it's good or bad, their reputation is still quite high. As for encountering Dai Mubai at the entrance of the grand hotel, given how frequently the young master Dai enters hotels, it's not surprising at all, especially since Yun Ming is staying at a well-known couples' hotel in Soto.

After the initial surprise, Yunming continued his sermon.

"It's alright, go and make the arrangements!"

After saying that, Yun Ming left a small bag of gold soul coins as a reward.

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

The receptionist saw that Yun Ming had paid directly and didn't argue anymore. She quickly found someone to carry Dai Mubai to his usual residence and then arranged for someone to report the news.

For a moment, only Yun Ming and Zhu Zhuqing remained at the entrance of the Rose Hotel. Yun Ming asked Zhu Zhuqing a question.

"Now that you've seen that person, how does it feel?"

As Zhu Zhuqing recalled everything that had happened these past few days, the icy expression on her face melted away, revealing a bright smile. This was the first time Yun Ming had seen Zhu Zhuqing smile in so long. He only saw her speaking from the bottom of her heart.

"Great! Very easy!"

If Dai Mubai had truly escaped to cultivate properly, Zhu Zhuqing would still be somewhat conflicted. Would it be selfish for her to leave? But the truth is, Dai Mubai is indulging in debauchery. Judging from the receptionist's words, he still has a permanent residence in the hotel. What he's using that residence for is quite obvious from everything that just happened. Therefore, now that her obsession has completely dissipated, Zhu Zhuqing truly feels relaxed and free from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's radiant smile, Yun Ming's lips also curved into a beautiful smile as he spoke to her.

"Zhu Zhuqing, congratulations..."

"Break free from shackles and be reborn!!!"

P.S.: Zhu Zhuqing is one of the most marginalized members of the main cast in the original novel, and one of the few female characters in the Douluo series that I personally don't dislike. However, she's later completely reduced to a plot device, with pitifully little screen time. But honestly, I'm a little disappointed but also a little relieved, otherwise, if she had been written to have more screen time... *cough cough* Those who know, know.

The reason for choosing to write about Zhu Zhuqing connecting Yun Ming and Shrek Academy is to give the strong and independent Zhu Zhuqing who first appeared a new future!
