Chapter 279
But Meng Ningdie is different. As a Magic Card Master who has only just stepped into the path of Magic Cards, Meng Ningdie is much easier to deal with than the Night Queen.
If one could resolve Meng Ningdie, then even if it couldn't cause substantial harm to the Night Queen, it would be enough to disgust her.
However, everyone who has made a move against Meng Ningdie, including Long Ni, has failed in the end.
But this also sounded an alarm for the Night Queen. Therefore, this time when she took in Lu Li as a student, she did not make any public announcement. Even in the Eastern Region, the number of people who know that Lu Li is her student is extremely limited.
Although Li Wei and Tan Huan also felt regret, they nodded in agreement. As Magic Card Masters in the Northern Region whose strength and status are second only to Gongshu Zhengqing, they also know some of the inside story regarding Meng Ningdie's initial encounter.
If Lu Li hadn't said it himself this time, they would never have imagined that only such a short time after taking in Meng Ningdie as a student, the Night Queen would take in another student.
As for whether Lu Li might be deceiving them, Li Wei and Tan Huan did not even consider this possibility.
Not to mention what benefits there would be for Lu Li to refuse Gongshu Zhengqing, as a Magic Card Master from the Eastern Region, if one had no relationship with the Night Queen but went around using her name to stir up trouble, then one would really not want to live.
If Gongshu Zhengqing really wanted to get to the bottom of it, verifying it with the Night Queen would only take a few sentences. The risks involved are not something just anyone can bear.
Shrugging his shoulders, Lu Li was also very clear about the inside story that Gongshu Zhengqing and the others knew. In fact, he knew even more than Gongshu Zhengqing and the others.
After all, he spends a lot of time with Meng Ningdie, and their relationship is not ordinary. Naturally, Meng Ningdie has also mentioned it to him.
However, every time, Meng Ningdie has always been able to turn danger into safety, which forces Lu Li to sigh that the Daughter of Destiny is nothing more than this.
Of course, if Lu Li were to run into Long Ni again, he would not hold back at all. Not only because of Meng Ningdie's encounter, but he himself had also been targeted by Long Ni.
If they were to meet again this time, it could be said that new grudges and old hatreds would come together.
……
"Alright, since you are the student of that girl Nichang, then I, an old man, cannot take what others love," besides, he doesn't have that ability anyway.
Taking a deep breath, Gongshu Zhengqing quickly adjusted his mindset and patted Lu Li on the shoulder: "After the Supreme, you are the second Magic Card Master to conquer the one-hundredth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. This point alone shows that your talent and potential surpass that of an average Magic Card Master."
"Therefore, work hard and strive to improve your own strength as soon as possible. After all, none of us can predict what kind of changes will come in the future."
"Only by constantly improving your own strength can you adapt to the various changes in the future, and only then can you keep yourself in an advantageous position and not be easily eliminated."
Gongshu Zhengqing seemed to be implying something, with words within words: "I hope you will not live up to our expectations."
Although he is not clear about Lu Li's encounter in the Ancient Battlefield, this does not exclude the possibility that he can make a certain degree of conjecture.
After all, this involves the Supreme, and there are not actually that many things that can attract the attention of the Supreme.
"Rest assured, Domain Lord Gongshu," having witnessed the truth of the destruction of the Titan home planet and having spoken with Sun Zhu Zhao, Lu Li naturally understood the hidden thoughts behind Gongshu Zhengqing's words: "Even if you didn't remind me, I would still improve my own strength as soon as possible."
"Since you have such thoughts, I won't say anything more." Seeing this, Gongshu Zhengqing nodded.
"Then, if there is nothing else, we will take our leave first." With matters mostly handled, Lu Li had no intention of lingering here.
Although the people before him were a City Lord, the President of the Magic Card Association, and a Domain Lord, having already met two Supremes, Lu Li indicated that this was all a small matter.
However, for Su Xueyi, this still carried quite a bit of pressure; the young lady still had a very reserved expression even now.
"I look forward to seeing how far you can grow by the next time we meet." Gongshu Zhengqing watched Lu Li and Su Xueyi walk away and said silently.
525, Imperial Long Jiashou · Dragon Form
"Lu Li, where are we going next?" After bidding farewell to Gongshu Zhengqing and the others, while walking on the streets of Shuangdu, Su Xueyi did not pursue the question of his encounter in the Titan Temple, but instead changed the subject.
Although Su Xueyi was also very curious, she ultimately restrained herself. If Lu Li was willing to talk about it, even if she didn't ask, he would say it.
Conversely, if Lu Li didn't mention it, then he must have his own plans and considerations. If that was the case, then even if she asked, Lu Li might not necessarily say it.
Since that was the case, it was better not to ask, so as not to create a rift between the two of them.
"I remember that in two days, Shuangluocheng, another city in Shuangdu, will hold a three-day Fireworks Festival. Let's go to Shuangluocheng to take a look next." Regarding the upcoming itinerary, Lu Li already had a plan.
Although they encountered quite a few accidents on this trip to the Titan Sanctuary, in reality, it didn't take as much time as imagined. In fact, the entire process finished much faster than expected.
Therefore, this left them with quite a bit of time. With enough time reserved to return to the Eastern Region, Lu Li planned to fulfill his promise to Su Xueyi and take her to have a good time in the Northern Region.
"Shuangluocheng, a Fireworks Festival?" A trace of intense interest flashed in her cold silver eyes. Regarding Lu Li's proposal, Su Xueyi was clearly very interested: "Then shall we set off now?"
This was a rare opportunity to have Lu Li all to herself. No matter how cold Su Xueyi's temperament was, in this regard, she was not much different from an ordinary woman.
What's more, it was also because of Lu Li that she was able to meet her biological parents at the very last moment.
In Su Xueyi's mind, Lu Li's status was absolutely at the very pinnacle of the pyramid.
"Sure, let's set off now." Gently pinching Su Xueyi's delicate nose, Lu Li waved his hand amidst the young lady's coquettish protest.
Magic power surged, and the Lei Long appeared at Lu Li's summon. This blue-black dragon beast had almost become Lu Li's exclusive mount on the ground.
Although the Lei Long only had five-star strength, with the enhancement of its skills, its sprinting speed was not inferior to a six-star Cold Cloud Sparrow.
It's just that the Cold Cloud Sparrow is, after all, a flying-type Magic Card spirit. Being able to fly is the Cold Cloud Sparrow's greatest advantage, as it can ignore the influence brought by many terrains.
For Lu Li, it was just a matter of traveling, and the Lei Long was enough. Besides, if they really encountered terrain that the Lei Long couldn't overcome, it wouldn't be too late to summon other Magic Card spirits.
Anyway, they were not short on time now.
However, looking at the Lei Long beside him, Lu Li was still slightly distracted.
Although it was an armored body, it didn't mean the Lei Long couldn't evolve further, and the Lei Long could directly evolve into the Imperial Long Jiashou Dragon Form, which could be said to be the terminal point of direct evolution!
"Lu Li?" Su Xueyi was also very familiar with the Lei Long, but she didn't understand why Lu Li was distracted, so she called out softly.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some things," hearing Su Xueyi's soft call, Lu Li came back to his senses and picked up the young lady to sit on the back of the Lei Long: "Let's go, we shouldn't waste any more time."
Patting the back of the Lei Long, the blue-black dragon beast let out a low roar, turned into blue lightning, and charged into the distance, disappearing in an instant.
……
"This girl, she really played quite wildly today," looking at Su Xueyi who had already fallen into a deep sleep beside him, Lu Li couldn't help but shake his head. Then his gaze swept to the other side, where there was another Queen with a cold temperament no less than Su Xueyi's, as well as the Frost Archer with an equally explosive figure waiting.
Spending three days, Lu Li and Su Xueyi finally arrived at Shuangluocheng. Of course, this was also because the two of them were not just purely traveling along the way, which was why it took much longer than expected.
Therefore, when they arrived at Shuangluocheng, the Fireworks Festival had already begun. It could be described as a sea of people, and the terrifying level of human traffic reached the level of a capital city.
In fact, it took them quite some time to find a place to stay. And next, naturally, was to join in the Fireworks Festival.
And so, Su Xueyi had already spent quite a bit of energy experiencing the Fireworks Festival in the morning, and now she had encountered another round of "crusade" from Lu Li.
Even a Magic Card Master couldn't withstand this dual consumption of physical and mental energy, and in the end, she could only fall into a deep, muddled sleep.
However, although Su Xueyi had already lost her fighting ability, it didn't mean that she had lost.
She was a Magic Card Master, and besides herself, there were also Magic Card spirits participating in the subsequent battle.
"Lord Lu Li, please leave the rest to us," looking at each other, a beautiful blush rose on the fair faces of the Snow Crystal Queen and the Frost Archer.
However, this was not the first time they had encountered such a situation. After all, as Su Xueyi's Magic Card spirits, they often advanced and retreated together with their Magic Card Master.
It was just that this time, their Magic Card Master seemed to have exited the field a bit too quickly, catching the Snow Crystal Queen and the Frost Archer off guard.
Raising their bodies, although Su Xueyi, as the Magic Card Master, had already been "slain" by Lu Li, they, as Magic Card spirits, could still continue to fight.
After all, as long as there is a continuous supply of magic power, Magic Card spirits can fight continuously. Therefore, in terms of endurance, it can be said that they are one step ahead of the Magic Card Master.
It's just a pity that even though they had tried to counterattack countless times, the final result remained unchanged.
The Snow Crystal Queen and the Frost Archer overestimated their combat power every time, and this time was no exception.
A moment later, these two ice-type Magic Card spirits also closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep, just like their master.
Even with Su Xueyi's magic power support, they couldn't withstand Lu Li's bombardment, not to mention that the Magic Card Master was now asleep, and the magic power supplied to them could only maintain their existence.
As for wanting to get support from Su Xueyi, that was out of the question. In fact, even if they got Su Xueyi's support, the result would not change.
What a joke, having experienced the wheel battles of those girls in the Eternal Land, especially with Lilithmon, the Demon Lord of Desire, this level of intensity was just a drop in the bucket for Lu Li.
Seeing this, Lu Li did not disturb the three girls' rest, but closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the Eternal Land.
526, Awakening
These past few days, although Lu Li spent most of his time accompanying Su Xueyi, it didn't mean he hadn't been dealing with other matters.
For example, the Eternal Land and the Eternal Day; Lu Li had also been paying attention to the changes within them during this period.
The appearance of Xihe undoubtedly had the greatest impact on the Eternal Day, but besides the Eternal Day, the Eternal Land had also been affected quite a bit.
Not to mention that the Eternal Land had also been promoted from its original dimensional plane to its current small world, and many subtle changes could only be discovered with the passage of time and exploration.
For example, now.
In the past, when entering the Eternal Land, Lu Li basically entered directly through his physical body. Even like when he was in the Ancient Battlefield, although he could transmit his own consciousness, he did not actually enter the Eternal Land, but was observing from the outside.
But now, as the Eternal Day ascended to a micro-world and the rules within it became increasingly perfected, Lu Li no longer needed to rely on entering with his physical body; he could enter the Eternal Land simply by passing through with his soul.
Of course, this way of entering the Eternal Land through the soul was still quite different from entering directly with the physical body.
At the very least, when only in the form of a soul, whether it was Lu Li or Celestin and the others, they could not touch each other and could only carry out simple communication.
Moreover, the big reason he entered the Eternal Land this time was because he noticed the changes in the Eternal Day.
Xihe, who had fallen into a deep sleep due to the naming, seemed to show signs of waking up after the passage of these few days.
Therefore, although Lu Li entered the Eternal Land, he did not disturb anyone this time, but entered the Eternal Day directly in the state of a soul.
This was also the difference between soul entry and physical entry. If he had entered the Eternal Land with his physical body, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Eternal Day so easily.
The current Eternal Day had been further improved because it absorbed the power of the sun, but it still hadn't become a true sun.
This was mainly limited by the fact that the Eternal Land was still only on the scale of a small world, not a true world. The current Eternal Day had only reached the limit that a small world could accommodate. ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
