Douluo Dalu: I'm Summoning Game Characters

Gu Yue's gaze involuntarily fell on the black spear in the white-haired young man's hand. Just feeling the dangerous aura emanating from that spear, Gu Yue's pupils sharply contracted.

Lu Jingming looked at the black-haired girl in front of him, whose clothes were a bit dishevelled and revealing. He silently recited to himself "look not at what is contrary to propriety," then calmly put on an "AI projection" facade and began to scrutinize the girl.

Don't misunderstand; his gaze didn't linger on the pale white shoulders or the torn black stockings. He was just a little confused as to who this girl was.

He could tell the girl was young, similar in age to him, yet her strength had already reached the Soul Elder level. That wasn't the main point.

The crucial thing was that while the girl seemed to be in poor condition, she hadn't suffered any severe injuries.

This was somewhat unbelievable. The 'Chariot-grade Honkai Beast' he had deployed in the five-star difficulty assessment would make even a Soul King wary, and a slight misstep would lead to heavy losses.

Yet, this girl had not only successfully killed the Chariot-grade Honkai Beast but also hadn't sustained serious injuries herself.

In the Douluo Continent during the 'Peerless Tang Gate' era, when did such a genius appear? And an "untamed" genius who just popped up!

Lu Jingming was utterly perplexed. Even Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, who were the same age as the girl, might not have passed the five-star assessment so easily. How did this black-haired girl manage it?

Thinking of this, Lu Jingming secretly pulled up the data of the girl in front of him. He wanted to see which family's genius this was, to be so heaven-defying, and if she was a character from the original work that he was familiar with.

"So her name is Gu Yue... Hmm!? Gu Yue!"

Lu Jingming almost lost his composure on the spot. Even his spiritual data body fluctuated slightly due to his inner shock.

This subtle change made Gu Yue frown, a hint of suspicion arising in her heart as she couldn't help but look at Lu Jingming.

Lu Jingming quickly composed himself. He was currently here as an AI projection and absolutely couldn't expose himself.

Despite his shock and the myriad thoughts flashing through his mind, Lu Jingming still managed to maintain a poker face and slowly raised the black spear in his hand.

In an instant, four soul rings—two purple and two black—appeared sequentially, exuding a powerful aura.

Gu Yue instantly entered a state of high alert. Her own three soul rings—one yellow and two purple—also shone brightly, their light illuminating the surrounding space.

"Bang—"

With a soft sound, a gentle breeze swept past. Lu Jingming's figure, like a ghost, instantly appeared behind Gu Yue.

The long spear, with wisps of black mist, pierced straight towards Gu Yue's back, like a black venomous snake.

Gu Yue felt a chill down her spine. A gust of strong wind suddenly burst from her shoulders. The powerful thrust pushed her body rapidly forward, simultaneously causing her to quickly move away from Lu Jingming.

Gu Yue swiftly spun around in mid-air, her hands quickly forming seals. In the blink of an eye, fireballs, wind blades, earth spikes, water bullets—various elemental attacks—surged towards Lu Jingming en masse, with great momentum.

Facing Gu Yue's fierce elemental bombardment, Lu Jingming remained exceptionally calm.

He unhurriedly raised the long spear in his hand and gently pointed it forward.

A miraculous scene unfolded. Whether it was fireballs or wind blades, the moment they touched the spear, they dissipated into nothingness like bubbles, as if these attacks had never existed.

Seeing her attacks nullified by that black spear, Gu Yue's expression instantly became very grim. She could clearly feel that the soul power she had imbued into her attacks was being disintegrated and destroyed.

And once soul power was disintegrated, it meant that soul skills lost their effect. Was this the ability of that black spear? It was indeed the power of destruction.

A gleam flashed in Gu Yue's eyes. Just as she was about to find another opportunity to test him, she suddenly realized that Lu Jingming's handsome face was, at some unknown point, very close to hers.

"Pfft—!"

Gu Yue's body stiffened, followed by fresh red blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

She slowly lowered her head, only to see that the dark spear had, at some unknown moment, pierced her heart.

Feeling her soul power, blood, flesh, spirit, and even her soul being disintegrated by that terrifying power, a hint of bewilderment appeared in Gu Yue's eyes.

Lu Jingming looked at Gu Yue, who was gradually turning into light particles and dissipating, and couldn't help but show a pained expression.

He had never expected that the Silver Dragon King would appear in this era.

According to the normal plot, wasn't she supposed to recover some of her injuries and then take human form ten thousand years later?

Moreover, what pained him even more was that this Silver Dragon King had specifically come to St. Freya Academy.

If she said her target wasn't himself, he wouldn't believe it.

Although filled with doubts, Lu Jingming still shook his head and consoled himself, "Forget it, when the soldiers come, meet them with arms; when the floods come, block them with earth. A mere love-struck Silver Dragon Princess, how could I not handle her?"

Lu Jingming slowly surveyed the Holographic Strategy, which he had created at a huge cost, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Shrek Academy had the Golden Tree as its foundation, and his St. Freya Academy had the Holographic Strategy. Neither was inferior to the other.

The Holographic Strategy is an external upgrade plugin for the Simulated Universe, with its core energy provided by the Gem of Conquest that Lu Jingming supplied.

This gem, originating from the game Honkai Impact 3rd, could continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and soul power from the outside world, converting them into higher-grade Honkai Energy.

During the conversion process, Herta restrained and purified this Honkai Energy, stripping it of its original corrosive properties and transforming it into a pure, high-grade energy.

This harmless Honkai Energy was truly a treasure for Soul Master cultivation, even more potent than the life energy of the Golden Tree.

It could comprehensively enhance a Soul Master's strength, whether it was soul power, mental power, or physical strength—all could be improved.

Even more miraculously, it could also increase the age limit of soul rings and even the quality of martial souls.

As is well known, Honkai Energy is versatile.

However, increasing the age limit of soul rings and the quality of martial souls required a large amount of Honkai Energy.

Lu Jingming currently did not want to expose these two powerful effects in the short term.

His primary purpose in asking Herta to create this Holographic Strategy was to benchmark it against Shrek Academy's Golden Tree, allowing St. Freya Academy to stand on the same starting line as Shrek Academy, or even take a leading position.

This was also why he hadn't been in a hurry to help Zhang Lexuan and Keqing absorb higher-aged soul rings before. After all, with the existence of Honkai Energy, increasing soul ring ages in the future was only a matter of time.

As long as the Honkai Energy was abundant enough, even giving each of them nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings was not a fantasy.

However, at this stage, the efficiency of the Gem of Conquest in absorbing and converting energy still needed improvement. Maintaining the operation of the Holographic Strategy system already consumed most of the Honkai Energy. Achieving those goals would still require time.
