Chapter 175 Ning Rongrong: Lu Ming, you are the group leader of Emperor Lu!
"Lu Ming?"
Huo Wu looked Lu Ming up and down, her eyes filled with a hint of criticism and disdain. "He does look decent enough, no wonder he could beat that good-for-nothing Tang San from Shrek Academy."
Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Ning Rongrong beside him objected.
"Hey, Huo Wu, are you out of your mind? Don't you know a good dog doesn't block the way?"
Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips, exuding the aura of a little witch.
"Ning Rongrong, this is none of your business."
Huo Wu snorted coldly, her gaze fixed on Lu Ming. "I've heard that idiot Feng Xiaotian praise you to the skies. But in my opinion, you're just lucky."
If you encounter our Blazing Academy, I'll show you what true fire is.
Ever since she inexplicably joined a mysterious chat group a couple of days ago, Huo Wu has been completely out of control.
Although she didn't speak in the group and just lurked and spied on the screen, seeing the so-called "spoilers" and "rewards" in the group made her feel like she was the chosen one.
As long as we stick close to the big shots in the group, what is a mere Blue Tyrant Academy?
In her mind, Lu Ming was nothing more than a pretty boy with some talent, and he was not qualified to be compared with her, who had "fortuitous encounters".
Lu Ming looked at the woman in front of him, who was bursting with confidence, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
This woman probably thinks that having a chat group will allow her to defy fate?
Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that the real owner of that chat group was standing right in front of her.
"Good luck?" Lu Ming smiled faintly. "I hope your flames will be as hard as your mouth on the field."
"You!" Huo Wu's eyebrows shot up, and she was about to lash out.
Ning Rongrong spoke first, saying in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh dear, some people start dreaming before they've even won."
He doesn't even look in the mirror to see his own worth, yet he thinks he can defeat Lu Ming?
Don't end up crying after losing and then having to go to Feng Xiaotian for comfort.
"Ning Rongrong! Do you want to fight!" Huo Wu's soul power surged, and faint flames could be seen flickering around her.
"Fine, I'll fight you. Are you scared of me?!"
Although Ning Rongrong is a support type, she is not afraid at all at this moment, after all, there is a true god standing next to her.
"Alright."
Lu Ming reached out to stop Ning Rongrong, and glanced at Huo Wu indifferently, "The auction is about to start, I don't have time to waste with this kind of clown."
After saying that, he grabbed Ning Rongrong, walked around Huo Wu, and strode away.
"Lu Ming! You just wait! I'll make you regret this on the field!"
Fire Dancer's furious roar came from behind.
Ning Rongrong turned around, made a face, and then looked at Lu Ming with admiration.
"Lu Ming, you were so cool just now! That Huo Wu deserves to be taught a lesson. She always acts like she's the best in the world, it's so annoying."
Lu Ming smiled but didn't say anything more.
For someone who loses sight of reality after gaining a bit of a silver spoon in their mouth, reality will soon teach them a lesson.
...
Tian Dou Auction House.
This is the largest den of iniquity in the entire Heavenly Dou Empire, and also a gathering place for rare and precious treasures.
Lu Ming did not go directly into the venue, but instead led Ning Rongrong to the appraisal room.
"Sir, is there anything that needs to be tested?"
A young female appraiser with a graceful figure, dressed in a cheongsam, came forward with a professional smile on her face.
Lu Ming didn't waste any words. He simply flipped his wrist and took out two items from his soul tool, placing them on the table.
One was a black, oddly shaped metal cylinder, and the other was a metal sphere that emitted a faint blue light.
"This is a set of hidden weapons called the 'Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Tube,' which contains thirty-six poisoned tungsten steel needles. It is launched silently and can break through the defenses of Soul Masters below the fourth ring."
Lu Ming pointed to the black iron cylinder and explained.
This was a gadget he casually crafted by combining techniques from "The Divine Machine Refinement," but its power far surpassed Tang San's so-called "hidden arrow."
"As for this..."
Lu Ming picked up the metal ball and infused it with a trace of soul power.
Buzz!
The metal sphere instantly floated in mid-air, cracks appearing on its surface, and a pale blue energy shield instantly opened, enveloping Lu Ming and the appraiser.
"This is a level one defensive soul tool. Although it is not a high level, it has the advantage of not needing soul power to maintain it. It can be used as long as it is charged. It can withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Master."
"What?!"
The beautiful appraiser's smile froze instantly, replaced by disbelief and shock.
Hidden weapons are one thing, although they are ingenious, they are not uncommon on the market.
But this soul tool...
In the present Douluo Continent, the method of making soul tools has long been lost, and what has been passed down are all ancient relics, each one used is one less available.
People who can create soul tools are extremely rare!
"This...this was made by you?" The appraiser's voice trembled.
"I guess so," Lu Ming said noncommittally.
Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at Lu Ming as if he were a monster.
Born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she naturally had extremely high standards.
The hidden weapons that Tang San sold to their sect before were not bad, but compared to the one Lu Ming took out, they were as crude as children's toys.
Moreover, soul tools!
Lu Ming can actually make soul tools!
A flash of lightning seemed to strike Ning Rongrong's mind, and countless details connected in that instant.
The extremely rare and high-end ingredients that Lu Ming brought out during the barbecue that day.
Immediately afterwards, people in the group started discussing the ingredients.
Yesterday's group task was to collect ingredients. In order to complete the task, I specially made an extremely hidden soul power mark on the crab I gave to the group leader.
And that mark... she sensed it when Lu Ming was making fried crab pieces!
In addition, Zhu Zhuqing's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and the technologies that Lu Ming just showed us are ones that even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't have...
If it's all just coincidence, then there are far too many of them.
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, suppressing her wildly beating heart, and waved for the still-shocked appraiser to go out and complete the formalities.
Only the two of them remained in the room.
"Lu Ming..."
Ning Rongrong turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Ming, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"Tell me honestly, is that 'Emperor Lu Tian'... you?"
Lu Ming paused slightly as he drank his tea, then put down his teacup and looked at her with a half-smile.
How do you know?
Stop pretending!
Ning Rongrong walked up to him, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared intently into his eyes.
"That crab! I left my soul power mark on it!"
And then there's Zhu Zhuqing. She used to be indifferent to men, so why is she suddenly so devoted to you?
You must have given her something in the group!
And these hidden weapons and soul tools are simply not something an ordinary soul master could produce!
The little witch's intelligence prevailed at this moment.
Looking into those large, intelligent eyes before him, Lu Ming shook his head helplessly.
