Douluo Dalu: Beginning with Signing in with Yan Lingji

Chapter 177: The Undying Underworld Armor

"Boss, congratulations!" As they exited the Great Battle Arena, Oscar and the others surrounded Zhao Ming and Ning Rongrong, looking at the two with envy. From today onwards, their names would likely go down in history. In the future, their influence on the continent would probably surpass even that of Flender and the others.

Xiao Wu and the others also looked at Zhao Ming with eyes full of admiration. In their hearts, Zhao Ming was unmatched, one of a kind.

Back at Shrek Academy, Zhao Ming eagerly returned to his dormitory.

He was eager to see what kind of reward this mission would bring.

Currently, whether it was soul bones or other items, he lacked none of them. What he truly desired was a stylish, impressive piece of equipment that could also enhance his strength and be used to show off.

Anything produced by the system would at least be on par with the divine artifacts of the God Realm. If he could obtain one, his strength might enable him to directly contend with some of the renowned experts of the continent.

"System, I want to draw my reward," Zhao Ming took a deep breath and said.

As soon as he spoke, a giant roulette wheel, about two meters in diameter, appeared before his eyes.

The Eternal Flame Ruler, Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, Ancient Demon Blade, Great Xumi Demon Pillar, Eight Ancestors Glazed Bowl... Various powerful weapons from different worlds appeared on the wheel, making Zhao Ming's head spin.

Each of these pieces of equipment was extraordinary. If any of them were brought to the Douluo Continent, they would rival any divine artifact, and some might even surpass them by far.

"Let's begin," Zhao Ming said excitedly, taking a deep breath.

Following Zhao Ming's command, the pointer at the center of the roulette started to spin slowly.

After a few seconds, a voice sounded.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Radiant Fire Underworld Armor."

"Ah!" Zhao Ming exhaled deeply and opened the equipment description.

"Radiant Fire Underworld Armor: Originating from the Saint Seiya universe, it is the battle armor of the Celestial Bird Bennu's Radiant Fire. Forged from the Underworld's unique black gemstones, the Radiant Fire Underworld Armor boasts immense combat and defensive capabilities. After system enhancements, it also possesses high growth potential."

"In addition, the Radiant Fire Underworld Armor comes with a special skill, Dark Solar Flare.

Dark Solar Flare: A black sun rises into the sky, instantly turning the surrounding area into a scorching hell, similar to a deadly sun rising in the desert. Opponents within the range of the attack will have their moisture rapidly absorbed until they perish."

Initially, Zhao Ming thought he had drawn a less valuable item, but after reading the system's explanation, he was thrilled.

"An armor that comes with a built-in finishing move?" Zhao Ming's eyes lit up.

"This was originally the powerful skill of Bennu from Saint Seiya. The system has replicated this skill onto the armor, enhancing its show-off factor while also making the equipment more formidable."

"That's really impressive," Zhao Ming laughed.

"By the way, the Radiant Fire Underworld Armor seems quite similar to my ancient Undying Phoenix, doesn't it?" Zhao Ming felt excited.

"The Radiant Fire Underworld Armor originates from the Underworld's Sun Bird in Saint Seiya. The Sun Bird shares many similarities with the Phoenix, but since they exist in different worlds, it's hard to compare them directly. However, both are powerful avian beings," the system explained.

"Is that so?"

"But since this armor now belongs to me, it can't keep its original name. I'll call it the Undying Underworld Armor." Zhao Ming smiled and, with a thought, the Undying Underworld Armor appeared in his hands.

Although it was called underworld armor, it actually resembled a battle suit.

The battle suit was pitch black, emitting an endless aura of heat and darkness.

It was crafted from the Underworld's black gemstones, giving it a dark sheen. A pair of black wings made of special material extended from the back of the armor.

With a thought, the Undying Underworld Armor transformed into countless black lights and surged toward Zhao Ming.

In an instant, it attached itself to Zhao Ming's body.

As the armor enveloped him, Zhao Ming felt an overwhelming surge of power. The Undying Underworld Armor wrapped tightly around his entire body. Behind him, the Undying Wings unfurled, merging seamlessly with the wings of the armor.

The armor seemed tailor-made for Zhao Ming, blending with him perfectly.

Black flames flickered on the surface of the armor. The intense heat distorted the air around Zhao Ming.

The black energy of the Undying Underworld Armor enveloped Zhao Ming, shrouding him in a mysterious aura.

Mysterious and powerful, wearing this armor made Zhao Ming resemble an ancient flame demon, exuding an intimidating presence.

"True to the system's reputation, it's remarkable." Feeling the immense power the Undying Underworld Armor granted him, Zhao Ming beamed. With this armor, his strength would increase by several levels.

Now, his combat strength could probably rival that of a Soul Douluo.

Moreover, the armor came with a powerful skill—he couldn't wait to see how strong it truly was. Given that the Undying Underworld Armor was on par with the divine artifacts of the Douluo Continent, its skill must have terrifying effects.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming willed the armor to disappear. The black light vanished from his body.

The system task was complete, and he had acquired this extraordinary piece of equipment.

Now, it was time to head to the Star Luo Empire.

On this trip, he planned not only to acquire the beautiful Yun Yun, his fourth puppet but also to help Dai Mubai secure the position of crown prince and eventually the throne. By then, he would be able to control the entire Star Luo Empire through Dai Mubai.

Once he had full control of the Star Luo Empire, he would deal with Dai Mubai.

As for the future ruler of the Star Luo Empire, he had already made up his mind—it would be Zhu Zhuqing.

In the Star Luo Empire, the two most influential families were the Dai and Zhu families. By overthrowing the Dai family and placing the Zhu family in power, everything would fall into place. Besides, by that time, the Zhu family would likely be more than willing to cooperate. After all, a martial soul fusion is nothing compared to a nation's throne.

Of course, the future ruler could only be his Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was his woman and would never betray him, which gave him peace of mind. She would probably be thrilled to know that he was gifting her the power of the Star Luo Empire. What kind of reward would she give him then? It would surely be generous.

But before all that, he needed to take Zhuqing to annul the engagement.

This time, he would completely sever the final ties between his precious Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.

How would Dai Mubai feel about that? He would likely be devastated.

Being the first prince to have his fiancée annul the engagement—such humiliation would follow him for the rest of his life until his death.

After all, in Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Yan felt immense shame when Nalan Yanran annulled their engagement. Now, as a prince, Dai Mubai would be even more despairing when Zhu Zhuqing did the same.

But Zhao Ming wouldn't pity him. As a scoundrel, he deserved no better.
