Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 6 The first meeting with Wu Siduo

As dusk fell, a cool evening breeze stole into the bedroom through the cracks in the window. It brushed across the table, gently shifting a haphazardly placed map, revealing a spot circled in red.

Donghai City.

Nan Liujing sat on a chair, the light from the computer screen illuminating his handsome face which he had inherited from his father, but he was still young and looked a little immature.

With deft fingers, he typed in a URL and clicked.

'Mingdu', 'Tiandou City', 'Xingluo City', the names of the regions appeared in Nan Liujing's eyes. He ignored these top cities and kept searching, and finally stopped at a red box called 'Donghai City'.

Mouse click.

The scene changed, and various soul master academies under the jurisdiction of Donghai City came into view. The first one was the introduction of 'Donghai Academy', and its dean was called Yu Zhen.

If you click in, you can see a more detailed introduction and the location of the college.

But this was not Nan Liujing's goal, he dragged the mouse downwards.

Finally, his eyes fell on an academy called Hongshan.

Within the Sun-Moon Federation, the academies in different regions have different school start and holiday dates each year. A typical example is that Mingdu starts school two months earlier than Tiandou City, and similarly, the holidays are also two months earlier, so the dates are staggered.

This is naturally the case for Donghai City, which belongs to the Tianhai Alliance.

Nan Liujing's deep, dark blue eyes flickered slightly as he scanned the introduction to Hongshan College. He leaned back, crossed his arms around the back of his neck, and looked up at the ceiling.

He didn't know what timeline he was in, so he thought about going to Aolai City in person. If he could meet the person he wanted to meet, it would be more convenient for him to make plans earlier.

There are still a few days left before the new semester, enough time for him to go there after awakening his martial soul.

...

Under the astonished gazes of countless pedestrians, a suspended soul-guided vehicle, whose appearance and performance far surpassed those of the surrounding vehicles, drove past quickly.

Nan Liujing sat in the back row, looking calmly at this city with a history of over 20,000 years, but after looking a few more times, he lost interest.

Compared to Tiandou City, which actively preserves ancient culture and has almost no skyscraper-style buildings, Xingluo City is completely the other extreme.

At a glance, this city seems to have no fewer skyscrapers than Shrek City, and humans are like busy worker ants, shuttling back and forth in this huge steel world.

There are almost no ancient buildings.

The suspended soul guide vehicle drove smoothly out of the bustling city, and after a few turns, it arrived at a manor with a beautiful environment.

The gate of the manor was open, and there were more than fifteen guards around, all of them carrying powerful soul guides.

The driver had been here many times with Sun Kong and was very familiar with the route. Under the respectful gaze of the guards, he drove straight in and finally stopped in front of the gate of a luxurious villa.

In front of the door, there were several people who had been waiting for a long time. They looked to be about the same age as Sun Kong.

When Nan Liujing got off the car, he saw a side of Sun Kong that was completely different from usual.

The old men hugged each other as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time. They no longer had the calmness and dignity they usually had when they were in high positions.

"Liu Jing." After a brief exchange with his four old friends, Sun Kong called out to Nan Liujing who was standing beside him.

Nan Liujing walked forward, attracting everyone's attention.

Today, he was wearing a simple white and gray sportswear, with his short, smooth black hair neat and clean. Although he was still young, which made his handsome features look immature, his dark blue pupils and the faint smile brought by the naturally raised corners of his lips seemed quite gentle, which was eye-catching.

His mental strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, and these people were unlikely to be on guard against a child like him. This led to Nan Liujing keenly noticing that one of them looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, which made him quite puzzled, but he did not say anything.

"Is this the nephew you were talking about?" Wu Jingru looked at Nan Liujing and asked with interest.

"Yes." Sun Kong nodded. Nephew?

There was a look of surprise in the eyes of the other three middle-aged men of distinguished status.

In their understanding, this old brother of theirs had no wife or children and was devoted to cultivation. He was only in his forties, but he had already reached the Titled Douluo realm. But under such circumstances, a nephew suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Liu Jing greets all the uncles." Not knowing what they were thinking, Nan Liu Jing stepped forward and saluted sensibly.

As elders, no matter how curious they were, they couldn't ask directly. Everyone just smiled and nodded as a response.

After Sun Kong gave a brief introduction, Wu Jingru led everyone into the villa, ready to start her daughter's martial soul awakening ceremony.

As he walked through the hall, Nan Liujing's eyes paused for a moment.

On the wall directly in front of me hangs a very special portrait.

The painting contained a lifelike white tiger, but if that were all, it wouldn't have stopped him in his tracks. To the side of the tiger, there was a phantom animal figure, somewhat similar to a cat, but much larger, with dark purple fur. Perhaps due to the paint, it looked a bit hazy.

Only when you go deeper do you realize there is another world.

A corridor gradually appeared in front of Nan Liujing's eyes, leading to an unknown place. After walking forward for dozens of meters, a hall that looked like a church came into view.

The decoration of the hall is not as luxurious as that of the villa hall, but it has a solemn feeling of time.

There are two animal statues on the left and right.

Just like the portrait Nan Liujing saw in the hall.

They are the white tiger and the ghost cat.

The identity of this dancer is obvious.

At this time, there were already about thirty people standing in the hall, and all their eyes were fixed on a girl who was kneeling on the ground with her hands clasped in front of her and her eyes closed in prayer.

Yinan Liujing looked over and was attracted for just a second.

As if the prayers had been answered, the stained windows above the hall slowly let in thousands of tiny rays of light, all of which fell on the girl in the white dress. The surroundings were dim, but she was the only one emitting a holy white light, as if she was the only one left in the world.

The entire hall fell into silence for several minutes. Finally, the girl opened her clasped hands, stood up, and turned around.

This time, Nan Liujing saw the other person clearly.

It was a very delicate and fair face, and it was hard to find any flaws in it. Her hair was brown-red, shoulder-length, and slightly curled at the ends. This, combined with her facial features, gave her a coolness that didn't belong to her age. But the most eye-catching thing about her were her eyes, which were a pair of heterochromia.

The left eye is platinum and the right eye is dark purple. Surrounded by the fragmented light falling through the colorful windows, they are as gorgeous as gems.

Before Nan Liujing could take a closer look, a tall old man came out and said to Wu Jingru, "Jingru, the time has come."

"Yes, Second Uncle." Wu Jingru was very respectful to the old man. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the girl and said, "Qiming, Chengyu, come here."

Two children who looked about the same age as Nan Liujing quickly walked out of the crowd. Both were boys. What was interesting was that compared to the girl, they were so nervous that they were shaking.

Nan Liujing followed Sun Kong and his group and stood on one side, watching with interest.

Especially when looking at that girl, because he vaguely guessed her name.

After the three children were in place, white soul power quickly emerged from Wu Jingru's body, like an arrow, and hit the stained glass window above the hall. After receiving the soul power, the stained glass window seemed to come alive, and under the distortion, the broken light originally revealed in it gathered into stripes, spreading along the ceiling to the floor.

Finally, it fell at the feet of three children.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the three of them.
