Douluo Dalu: Beginning with Signing in with Yan Lingji

Chapter 184: Zhu Zhuyun, So Impressive

After about an hour, the energy around Dai Mubai finally stabilized.

His soul power had reached level 40.

"I'm a level 40 soul master now," Dai Mubai exclaimed in excitement. Now, he only needed to absorb a soul ring to break through to the Soul Ancestor level. He could still feel a residual amount of energy within him, enough to push him to level 42 after absorbing his fourth soul ring.

Davis was currently estimated to be around level 45, which meant the gap between them had significantly narrowed to just three levels. Moreover, Davis was six years older than him.

Dai Mubai, at fifteen, was about to reach level 42, while Davis, at twenty-one, was only at level 45. The comparison was clear: who was stronger was evident at a glance.

Originally, his talent had been slightly better than Davis's, but it wasn't enough to overcome their age difference. That was why many people supported Davis. But now, if the news spread that he had reached the Soul Ancestor level at fifteen, the entire royal family and the higher-ups of the empire would have to reconsider their stance.

He, Dai Mubai, had achieved the Soul Ancestor level at fifteen.

Such talent was a once-in-a-century phenomenon in the royal family.

What could Davis possibly do against him?

Clearing his mind, Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Ming again, and the fear in his eyes dissipated significantly.

With his strength now elevated, he could return to his prince's mansion. Once he obtained his fourth soul ring, he would secure a place within the royal family. At that point, those who had enmity with Davis's faction would support him wholeheartedly. He would no longer fear Davis.

"Congratulations," Zhao Ming said with a smile, his tone calm and casual as he looked at Dai Mubai.

"Thank you for today," Dai Mubai said, frowning. Although Zhao Ming had given him a great opportunity, he felt no gratitude. The hatred for stealing his fiancée was something he could never forgive. However, he knew he had to bow his head for now, as he was still under Zhao Ming's influence.

"It's nothing. Just remember your promise. From now on, you have nothing to do with Zhuqing," Zhao Ming said with a faint smile.

"Don't worry." Dai Mubai frowned, his tone somber.

After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, seeing her cold expression, and felt a twinge of bitterness.

Zhuqing was so beautiful—her figure, her face, her long legs, and her delicate fragrance. One day, he vowed to take all of it back from Zhao Ming.

With that thought, Dai Mubai strode out of the room.

He was heading back to his prince's mansion.

With his current talent and cultivation, even Davis would have to bow to him. The position of the Star Luo Empire's crown prince would undoubtedly be his.

He, Dai Mubai, would eventually prove everyone wrong and become the ultimate winner.

…

At the Zhu Family Estate.

Today was the day for the younger generation of the Zhu family to have their soul power tested.

Many young boys and girls had gathered at the testing grounds.

Soul power testing was a routine event for the Zhu family's disciples, conducted every three months. The tests allowed them to compare their strength with others of their age and to see their soul power progress each month.

In the center of the square was a testing platform with a one-meter-wide blue crystal. This blue crystal was used to measure soul power. When children in Douluo Continent underwent martial spirit awakening at age six, they used a similar blue crystal, but much smaller. The one used for awakening only needed to measure up to ten levels of soul power.

The young members of the Zhu family were full of anticipation. Their soul power results would be recorded in their files, and those who performed well would receive recognition from the elders and better training opportunities.

On the platform stood a middle-aged man in a black robe—the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Zihao.

Zhu Zihao attended almost every test, as these young disciples represented the future of the Zhu family. The state of the family's younger generation was crucial to him. Recently, he had noticed that the young members of the Zhu family had been inconsistent in their progress. It had been a long time since a truly exceptional talent had emerged, aside from his two daughters, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing. No other member of the younger generation stood out.

However, thinking about Zhuyun and Zhuqing brought a sense of heartache. Both were his beloved daughters, and he hated to see them at odds like enemies. Yet, as the head of the family, some things were beyond his control.

"Forget it, no point dwelling on it. I wonder if any of our Zhu family children have made progress today," Zhu Zihao muttered to himself as he looked at the young people below, a hint of worry in his eyes.

The crowd remained quiet, but soon a gasp of surprise echoed through the square.

Everyone's attention was drawn to one person—the pride of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Zhuyun stood tall, dressed in tight black leather pants and a fitted top. Her outfit highlighted her stunning, voluptuous figure. Her perfect, exaggerated curves were accentuated by the form-fitting clothes, making her a captivating sight. Her legs, slim and toned under the leather pants, were enough to make anyone's mouth water.

The moment Zhu Zhuyun appeared, she became the center of attention.

Everyone stared at her, some with envy, others with admiration, and a few with jealousy.

However, they dared not reveal these emotions openly, keeping their feelings hidden. Zhu Zhuyun was not only the eldest daughter of the Zhu family but also Davis's fiancée. It was almost certain that she would become the queen of the Star Luo Empire in the future—a position destined for her.

Zhu Zhuyun walked gracefully toward the testing platform, her every movement elegant and seductive.

She walked slowly, occasionally glancing through the crowd, as if searching for someone.

After a moment, she retracted her gaze, a mix of disappointment and joy flashing in her eyes.

"Zhuyun, you're here?" Zhu Zihao greeted her with a smile of satisfaction. His daughter's strength had progressed again—she had now reached level 42. And she was only nineteen years old.

"Father," Zhu Zhuyun nodded lightly, her expression calm.

"Go ahead and test. Let the younger members of the Zhu family see where they stand," Zhu Zihao said with a smile.

"Alright." Her melodious voice rang out as she ascended the platform, drawing everyone's attention.

"Zhu Zhuyun, soul power level 42," came a voice from the testing platform.

Everyone was stunned—Zhu Zhuyun, the pride of the Zhu family, had broken through again.

This time, she had reached the Soul Ancestor level.

Nineteen years old and at level 42. In the future, she had a real chance of becoming a Soul Douluo.

Zhu Zhuyun was undoubtedly the Zhu family's talented prodigy.

Within the Zhu family, perhaps only one other young prodigy, Zhu Zhuqing, could rival her talent.
