Chapter 654 Demonic Great White Shark

The Tianying Empire is indeed preparing for the wedding of Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong. This is what Lu Yuan had agreed with Ning Fengzhi before.

After all, the wedding between Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong is not only about his own marriage, but also about the stability of the entire Tianying Empire.

After all, although Lu Yuan canonized Ning Rongrong as queen, they have not held a formal wedding ceremony for so long.

It is inevitable that some caring people would put more thought into this... such as sending their daughters and sisters to Lu Yuan to seduce him and replace Ning Rongrong as the queen.

Perhaps the empire's confidants, like the five princely families, would not dare to think of such a transgression.

After all, their status is already high enough. Even if they become descendants, they will only have a little more power.

But once the Qibao Glazed Sect is angered, everything will be lost.

But those little nobles tend to have a gambler's mentality. If they succeed, they will directly reach the sky. Such a huge temptation, and they may have luck in their hearts. They feel that if they get the favor of Lu Yuan, the supreme emperor of the empire, they will also be the master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Don't dare to do anything to them.

Therefore, in order to make these people happy, it is best to complete the wedding ceremony of Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong as soon as possible.

In fact, even if the wedding ceremony was held, Ning Rongrong never gave birth to Lu Yuan's eldest son, and there were always people who thought of replacing him by luck.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi hopes that Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong will get married as soon as possible, complete the "human creation" plan as soon as possible, and give birth to a stable eldest son of the emperor.

Since the wedding ceremony of the emperor and empress is a major event, it cannot be taken lightly.

Therefore, Tianying Empire and Qibao Glazed Sect decided on a plan as early as February this year through a joint resolution of the cabinet and Lu Yuan.

And in the next ten months, everything from the dress to the venue, from the betrothal gifts and dowry, from the direct areas of the empire to many kingdoms and principalities, and even the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire, were all arranged.

For this marriage, the Qibao Glazed Sect spent three million gold soul coins, and the Tianying Empire also spent five million gold soul coins, highlighting one who was extravagant to the extreme.

Some people think that it is inappropriate to be so extravagant and wasteful, but it is a major event that must be done. Otherwise, if the marriage between Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, the empress of the Tianying Empire, is done carelessly and rashly, it will bring disgrace to the empire. .

Moreover, the Tianying Empire and the Qibao Glazed Sect were able to pay for this money. It does not mean that the Tianying Empire used these five million gold soul coins to empty out the entire empire's treasury.

Currently, Lu Yuan has been rectifying the empire's finances and taxation, and he has raided the homes of some corrupt officials. He has also begun to make some small inventions from his past life and bring the Qibao Glazed Sect together to do business and make money.

Now the Tianying Empire's income is still very considerable. This year's income is 25 million gold soul coins.

The Tianying Empire itself currently has nothing to provide for disaster relief. The major areas where finance is needed are military and political food and salary to support a large number of armies, the repair of the future capital Tianying City, the scientific and technological research and development of the Tianying Royal Science and Technology Academy, and the replacement of the The replaced Wuhun Palace helps people awaken their Wuhun and personally distributes soul master subsidies.

These will be used for financial purposes, probably all year round, that is, 13 million gold soul coins have been spent, and there is still a lot left in the treasury, so spending 5 million gold soul coins to hold the emperor's wedding is not considered extravagant. Extravagant and wasteful.

And most of this is actually used for betrothal gifts. The dowry returned from the Qibao Glazed Sect is also of equal value, which is equivalent to turning the left hand into the right hand and returning it to the treasury.

If that doesn't work, Lu Yuan has another big move - national debt.

Of course, with the wealth of Qibao Glazed Sect and Tianying Empire, this trick is not yet needed.

In short, Tianying Empire and Qibao Glazed Sect are very concerned about and confident about this wedding ceremony, which will definitely shock the world!

However, the Tianying Empire and the Qibao Glazed Sect are completing the arrangements for the wedding ceremony in an orderly manner, while the two parties involved, Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, are still practicing on Poseidon Island and are about to complete their second wedding ceremony. Divine test.

Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, as well as Lu Qingqing, Yan Zhuyin, Dugu Yan, and the seven brothers from the Shi family, were now standing on the edge of the circular sea, looking at the sealed circular sea.

They have been resting for three days, and it can be said that they have returned to their best condition.

"Should we try this second level?" Dugu Yan said, "See if it can quickly improve our soul power like Poseidon's Light?"

The previous purple-clothed sea soul master was right. For them, the Poseidon's Light was an excellent training for the divine test. This environment, which could speed up the cultivation of soul power, already made Dugu Yan and others reluctant to leave.

But unfortunately, after completing their respective divine examinations, the Poseidon's Light completely lost its effect, and there was no longer any pressure on them.

But now they have to complete the second divine test and break through the blockade of the ring sea, which makes Dugu Yan and others' minds become more active.

What if this second level is the same as Poseidon's Light and can speed up their cultivation?

Lu Yuan shook his head, and relying on some vague memories of the original plot, he said, "Senior sister, you may be disappointed. The Poseidon's Light assessment is also very rare and rare in the Poseidon Trial. Otherwise, the previous Poseidon Spirit Master would I won’t say that the experience of Poseidon’s Light is also a good thing for us.”

Dugu Yan still had some illusions, "Lu Yuan, how do you know? What if?"

Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong next to him looked at each other, raised their hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's give it a try. After all, there is a sea soul beast blocking us this time. Before we can break through with all our strength, we must first figure out what's going on in the ring sea." What are the sea soul beasts that can pose a threat to us, and what level are they approximately?"

Lu Qingqing nodded and said, "Brother, you can make arrangements. We will all listen to you."

There is no need to say much about Lu Yuan's status. In terms of status and cultivation, he does his best.

"Actually, there is no need to worry too much. At least the sea soul beasts in this circular sea should be able to get close to the sea soul masters on Poseidon Island, so they probably won't fight us to the death." Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "They should It will only stop us."

"So... Qingqing, you go and try first. Rongrong will assist Qingqing and say hello to these soul beast friends first."

"Okay!" Lu Qingqing and others responded without any objection.

Lu Qingqing nodded, summoned the martial soul and the seven gray soul rings, tapped her toes on the ground, and jumped out.

As her cultivation level increased, her speed became faster and faster. Even with such exertion, she seemed to have a series of faint afterimages behind her.

Ning Rongrong also directly summoned the Wuhun Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, "The Nine Treasures are famous! One is: Power!"

"Second: Hurry!"

"Three: Soul!"

"Fourth: Be on guard!"

The four amplifying lights fell directly on Lu Qingqing, making her speed even faster.

After a few dodgers, she had reached the edge of the ring sea. At the same time, she stood up and rushed straight into the ring sea.

The moment her body jumped out, Ning Rongrong's increase in speed combined with Lu Qingqing's extremely fast speed caused her body to jump out like a cannonball, straight into the ring sea.

Boom - Just when Lu Qingqing's body jumped out of the land less than five meters, the entire ring sea suddenly boiled, and the already turbulent waves broke out almost instantly, slamming heavily into the golden light barrier ten meters above the sea level. superior.

The strange thing is that the rising sea water did not splash out of the ring sea at all. It neither impacted the ground outside the ring sea nor rushed to the sacred mountain in Shanghai.

Lu Qingqing's petite body was completely enveloped in the sea water at this moment.

What everyone on the shore could see was a strange dark blue water world.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's expression changed, and she no longer dared to hold anything back. The final attack boost and the strongest attribute boost were launched directly, piercing through the waves and landing on Lu Qingqing accurately.

However, Ning Rongrong's face suddenly turned ugly, and she said in a deep voice: "The increase rate of my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was affected by the unknown energy in the sea water. The increase effect was reduced by 30%, and the actual increase rate it brought to Qingqing was less than Sixty percent!”

You know, her current growth rate should have reached 80%. After weakening by 30%, the actual growth rate is only more than 50%.

"Xiao Yuan!" She couldn't help but look at Lu Yuan at this time.

Now it seems that something is wrong with Lu Qingqing, and the only one who can save Lu Qingqing is Lu Yuan, who has broken through the realm of Titled Douluo.

Although Lu Yuan now has all his soul rings and soul skills sealed, including the seven soul rings of Venerable Shenlong.

But he is a Titled Douluo. Titled Douluo can easily kill a Soul Saint purely by relying on his soul power and combat skills.

Even if it is a Contra, if it is not one of the four single-attribute Contras, or some relatively weak Titled Douluo, it can still be subdued by a Titled Douluo.

Not to mention that Lu Yuan also has a series of "self-created soul skills" and three major fields.

Moreover, the transformation of arcane energy and the improvement of soul power have made his current power extremely terrifying. It is conservatively estimated that it has reached a terrifying power of fifty million kilograms.

Therefore, it was very easy for Lu Yuan to rescue Lu Qingqing.

However……

At this time, Lu Yuan was very calm. He knew what kind of sea soul beast was in the ring sea, a hundred thousand year soul beast - Xiaobai, the Demon Soul King of Great White Sharks.

This soul beast also had a relationship with Poseidon, the god of sea. As the heir to the god of sea, Lu Qingqing would definitely have no problems.

It can even bring Lu Qingqing and Xiaobai closer together. In the future, Lu Yuan even thinks about letting Xiaobai become Lu Qingqing's soul...

So Lu Qingqing will definitely be fine.

"Don't worry, Qingqing will be fine." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

After hearing what Lu Yuan said, everyone felt a little relieved. After all, Lu Yuan had not made any mistakes so far.

So although everyone was a little anxious, they still chose to believe Lu Yuan.

In the circular sea, Lu Qingqing's whole body was instantly submerged in the sea water, but under the protection of the Vast Sea Universe Cover, her clothes did not get soaked, but she immediately discovered the problem.

When she was immersed in the sea water, there seemed to be a special energy in the sea water, which was slowing down her figure and accelerating the consumption of her soul power.

At the same time, undercurrents continued to impact her body. Coupled with the strong buoyancy in the sea, her figure suddenly became unstable.

And you can clearly feel that the seawater in this ring sea is different. In addition to the restricted energy, the resistance in the seawater is also surprisingly large.

The most important thing is that Lu Qingqing doesn't know how to move forward in the water.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

I saw arrow-shaped fish coming from nowhere, appearing in all directions around Lu Qingqing's body without warning.

Their speed in the water is extremely fast, even faster than some of the bird soul beasts Lu Qingqing has seen.

Almost in an instant, there were more than a hundred arrow-shaped fish surrounding her body. Blue-purple light surrounded their bodies, and the rich soul power rippled into a large net in the sea water, sealing the fish. Dead in all her ways forward and backward.

Lu Qingqing immediately held her breath and concentrated, holding the flowing whip blade, ready to fight at any time.

When she didn't make any movements before, the arrow-shaped fish and sea soul beasts just surrounded her body. Now when she moved, the arrow-shaped fish immediately started to move and charged at her at the same time.

Suddenly, hundreds of arrow-shaped fish and sea soul beasts shot at Lu Qingqing like countless sharp arrows attached to the soul.

Look at that posture, he won't stop until Lu Qingqing's body is pierced!

Everyone on the shore could clearly see that when these arrow-shaped fish launched a charge, their entire bodies turned into the same blue-purple color that had previously diffused around their bodies, like streaks of light, extremely dazzling.

However, Lu Qingqing is not a delicate little girl. She cannot use her soul skills, but her fighting skills are still there. She waves the martial soul in her hand and directly repels all these arrow-shaped fish!

Her speed is extremely fast. Even in the ring sea, the long whip is still like a storm. When it falls on these sea soul beasts, it tears holes in their bodies. Although the power is weakened a lot because of being in the sea, it is still It's to knock them out.

At the same time, blood-colored mist appeared in the ring sea.

However, although she was only knocked unconscious and seriously injured, Lu Qingqing's attack speed was very fast!

In less than a moment, hundreds of arrow-shaped fish were knocked unconscious and fell to the bottom of the sea.

Lu Qingqing also knew a little about the capabilities of these soul beasts, and began to control the power without wasting her physical strength.

She has extremely rich combat experience, and she can maintain a certain speed and stun these sea soul beasts.

Nearly half of the more than a hundred arrow-shaped fish were knocked unconscious by her whip, and the remaining ones no longer dared to charge. They only dared to bluff on the periphery, constantly shuttled and interfered with the seawater around her body.

They don't dare to move anymore!

Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and did not take it lightly, but she continued to move forward.

After repelling the arrow-shaped fish, Lu Qingqing stabilized her body and began to go deeper.

At this time, she had only entered the ring sea for more than twenty meters, and was still far away from the other shore.

At the moment, while getting familiar with the way forward in the sea, he carefully observed his surroundings.

The two sides of the ring sea were only more than 200 meters apart. Lu Qingqing had already entered one-tenth of the way and was still 180 meters away from the other shore.

One hundred and eighty meters, on land, was just a blink of an eye for her.

But although she defeated the arrow-shaped fish in front of her, the remaining 180 meters was obviously not so easy to pass.

She continued to swim ten meters forward, and that's when!

A huge shadow came from a distance. Before Lu Qingqing could see its appearance clearly, an irresistible force came from the sea water. Lu Qingqing could only protect her chest with her hands. Before she could do anything, With the next movement, the whole person was already flying out due to the impact of the turbulent undercurrent.

With a pop, Lu Qingqing broke out of the water and crashed straight into Poseidon Mountain.

Although the Poseidon's Light will no longer bring pressure to everyone who has passed the first test, the mission of protecting Poseidon Mountain has not disappeared. Lu Qingqing only felt that her whole body went soft, as if she had fallen into a pile of cotton. The next moment, she was already As if embedded in the light of Poseidon, it slowly slid down against the mountain.

"Qingqing!" Ning Rongrong, Yan Zhuyin, Dugu Yan and others ran over anxiously.

"Qingqing, are you okay?" Ning Rongrong asked.

Lu Qingqing took a deep breath. At this time, the energy and blood in her body suddenly surged, and her whole body felt indescribably uncomfortable. It seemed that every meridian was injured.

But for now, it's nothing serious. These injuries will be recovered with a little meditation.

"I'm fine. Just now...I was hit by something that came out of nowhere...I didn't see clearly what it was..." Lu Qingqing said gloomily.

That thing was so fast that she could only roughly tell that it was a huge sea soul beast.

Yan Zhuyin said at this time, "It was a white shark, with a length of about twenty-five meters, but its huge size did not affect its flexibility at all. It was extremely fast. From appearing to disappearing, it only took a few times. In the blink of an eye, Qingqing, you were bombarded by the sea water driven by the blue light it released, and then it turned around and left."

As a soul master whose martial soul uses arrows to attack, her eyesight is very good, and she saw the appearance of the sea soul beast that attacked Lu Qingqing.

"That's the Demon Soul Great White Shark King." At this time, Lu Yuan slowly came to the crowd and said.

"King of Demonic Great White Sharks?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion. This was the first time they heard this name.

"The Demon Soul Great White Shark is one of the races of island-protecting spirit beasts on Poseidon Island. They have been friends with Poseidon Island for generations, and among them there is a 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark as their clan leader." Lu Yuan He smiled and said, "It seems that it is sitting in this ring sea, our examiner for the second level."

"But how did it come into this ring sea? Isn't it a sea soul beast?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

Lu Yuan said, "There are several inland seas in Poseidon Island. These inland seas are not fresh water without salt. It is conceivable that these seawaters should also come from the sea outside. Therefore, perhaps these inland seas under Poseidon Island are similar to There are connected passages in the outer sea. If this is the case, it is not difficult to explain why the Demon Soul Great White Shark King appears here. Our assessment must have attracted it to this ring sea and prevented us from completing the mission. But it They definitely didn’t mean to attack us, they just blocked us from crossing the sea.”

"This...is this too difficult? Even if it doesn't mean to harm us, it is still a hundred thousand year old soul beast!" Shi Mosheng said helplessly.

"The only one who can complete this second level is a pervert like you, Lu Yuan." Dugu Yan also said in agreement.

With Lu Yuan's current strength, not to mention being able to withstand Xiao Bai's attack and complete the ring sea assessment, even directly killing Xiao Bai, the king of demonic great white sharks, would not be a problem at all.

But it is impossible for him to do this. Although he is a human being, he will not adopt a policy of complete killing of soul beasts.

Moreover, when beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Xiaobai is not a wild 100,000-year-old soul beast. She is the pet of Poseidon, so she cannot be killed.

Lu Yuan just smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Poseidon can't give you such an absolutely impossible test. Since this Demonic Great White Shark King has no murderous intentions, he is your best practical training target! "

"As long as you can withstand the obstruction of the Demonic Great White Shark King, your actual combat capabilities will definitely be greatly improved, and you will be able to complete the assessment by then!"

Dugu Yan immediately glared at Lu Yuan and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute, you don't mean to say, let us fight that demonic great white shark, do you?"

Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "What's not possible? Facing a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast in sea water with a lot of restrictions and unable to breathe. The pressure on us can be imagined. And this hundred thousand-year-old soul beast The Nian Soul Beast will not really hurt us. Is there any better sparring partner than this? Besides, how can we complete the assessment?"

"That's right...that's the only way it can be." Ning Rongrong sighed and said.

Lu Qingqing also nodded and said, "It seems that Poseidon's assessment is not only a test, but also a practice opportunity for those who participate in the assessment. The assessment we face is so difficult, but at the same time, the practice method provided to us is also the best. .Brother is right. The first test of Poseidon's Light is to temper our soul power. The second test to break through the ring blockade is probably to temper our actual combat ability. And it is also the actual combat ability in a sea full of resistance... It seems that this time we have a chance to learn how to swim."

When Dugu Yan saw this, he could only smile bitterly and said, "But it's difficult for my soul skills to work in this sea. I just hope that the Demon Soul Great White Shark King will be gentle on us..."

The Shi brothers also nodded, "Yes... I hope she won't kill her..."

However, within the next two days...

"Ouch!" Dugu Yan, who transformed into a green-scaled snake king, flew directly out of the ring sea and landed on Poseidon Mountain, where he fell to pieces.

Not only her, but also Lu Qingqing, Yan Zhuyin and the Shi brothers on the side were all extremely miserable. That was a real fall.

In the past two days, except for Ning Rongrong, an auxiliary soul master, and Lu Yuan, who was extremely powerful and absolutely sure, the other five people had begun to try one after another.

However, all of them ended up with Xiaobai, the Demonic Great White Shark King, thrusting forward suddenly and thrusting out of the circular sea without any mercy.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King has not yet communicated or formally greeted Lu Qingqing and others. A black shadow flashed past, and they flew out and fell on Poseidon Mountain.
