She had Cultivated like a madwoman in the Star Luo Empire, reaching Level 27 spirit power by age twelve; even Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuyun of the same age group couldn't compare to her.
She had thought Dai Mubai would also maintain a leading posture, but who would have thought that Dai Mubai had actually fallen behind.
The two of them were young to begin with, and Dai Mubai was lagging behind Dai Weisi at the same age; going from leading to falling behind, the probability of defeating Dai Weisi and her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun had become much smaller, making it hard for Zhu Zhuqing to be happy.
The good mindset she had been forced to develop over the years allowed Zhu Zhuqing to hide her emotions; she continued to carefully read the intelligence, wanting to know what Dai Mubai had been doing all these years.
When Zhu Zhuqing saw that Dai Mubai had spent twenty-three out of the last sixty days staying overnight with a pair of twins at the Rose Grand Hotel, even booking a long-term room for that purpose, her Face instantly turned dark.
Besides the twins, the records also detailed five other women Dai Mubai was involved with, including their names and even detailed home addresses.
In addition to these matters, the records also documented Dai Mubai's general movements in Suotuo City over the past two months; Zhu Zhuqing was very disappointed—while she was desperately Cultivating in the Star Luo Empire to resist her fate, what was Dai Mubai doing here?
Seeing that Dai Mubai was only Level 37, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't disappointed by his level; she felt that if they worked hard from now on, they might still have a chance of winning.
But after seeing Dai Mubai's attitude, Zhu Zhuqing felt the future was pitch black; there was simply no chance of winning at all.
No longer wanting to look at the documents, Zhu Zhuqing placed the stack of papers on the table and helplessly closed her eyes.
"Regarding whether you can defeat Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun, I presume Young Miss Zhu Zhuqing already has a general assessment."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing, who had shown little expression since they met, close her eyes in despair, Yu Yan took the opportunity to press his offensive and ask about her feelings.
Hearing Yu Yan's words, Zhu Zhuqing slightly adjusted her expression and looked coldly at him: "So, what exactly are you trying to say by making me read these documents?"
Having composed herself, Zhu Zhuqing stared at Yu Yan with a cold gaze, wanting to hear what this fellow who had come so abruptly had to say; she absolutely did not believe he had come just to show her these things.
"I can't stand Dai Mubai, so I want to give you a chance—a chance to change your fate."
As Yu Yan's voice fell, six spirit rings appeared one after another on his body, and the aura of a Spirit Emperor radiated from him, filling the room.
At the same time, a martial soul awakening certificate wrapped in spirit power floated before Zhu Zhuqing, hovering at a distance where she could clearly see the text on it.
A Spirit Emperor!
And such a young Spirit Emperor at that.
Seeing the spirit rings floating around Yu Yan, a look of shock appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's usually indifferent Face.
Judging by his appearance, the person before her was at most in his twenties; such a young Spirit Emperor was guaranteed to be a high-level Spirit Douluo in the future, and even a Titled Douluo was possible.
While shocked by Yu Yan's talent, Zhu Zhuqing turned her gaze to the martial soul awakening certificate in front of her.
Spirit: Ice and Fire Twin Fish (Mutated)
Spirit Awakening Date: Year 2637 of the Douluo Calendar.
Wait, Year 2637 of the Douluo Calendar... wasn't that six years ago? Wasn't that the same year I awakened my Spirit?
If this is true, is this six-ring Spirit Emperor before me only twelve years old this year?
A twelve-year-old Spirit Emperor?
The calm expression on Zhu Zhuqing's Face vanished; she looked at the martial soul awakening certificate and then at the six spirit rings circling Yu Yan in stunned silence, for a moment not knowing what to say to express her current feelings.
"Let me reintroduce myself: I am Yu Yan, Spirit: Ice and Fire Twin Fish, Level 66 Power Attack and control system Spirit Emperor. Do you want to change your fate?"
Yu Yan reintroduced himself and once again issued an invitation to Zhu Zhuqing.
As early as over a year ago, he had successfully reached Level 60 and absorbed his sixth spirit ring in the Star Dou Great Forest—a dragon-type Spirit Beast with Ice and Fire attributes of over 99,900 years, named the Cold Vortex Cinder-Hammer Dragon.
The reason Yu Yan hadn't absorbed a hundred thousand year spirit ring was that his mental force could not yet withstand the Soul shock produced after a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast's death.
There is a massive difference between a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast and a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast; a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast possesses complete intelligence, can speak human language, and has combat power equivalent to a Titled Douluo; absorbing its spirit ring grants two Spirit Abilities and will inevitably produce a Spirit Bone.
Because of this, the mental shock one must endure from a hundred thousand year spirit ring is also exceptionally terrifying; Yu Yan's mental force at Level 60 simply couldn't withstand that horrific impact.
By the time he reached Level 70, Yu Yan's mental force would definitely be able to withstand the mental shock of a hundred thousand year spirit ring, and he could naturally absorb one then.
It was worth mentioning that Yu Yan's sixth spirit ring was hunted with the help of Da Ming the Sky Azure Bull Python and Er Ming the Titan Giant Ape; having taken the 800,000-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Worm's shed skin, they felt uneasy and thus helped Yu Yan find this Ice-Fire dragon-type Spirit Beast that was infinitely close to a hundred thousand years near the inner circle of the Heaven Dou Forest.
Just as Yu Yan said, the two of them killed some Spirit Beasts for food every month, so killing a Spirit Beast didn't give them much of a psychological burden.
As for that slight sense of strangeness from helping a human hunt a Spirit Beast, how could it possibly compare to the Heavenly Dream Ice Worm skin sent by Yu Yan and Xiao Wu? That was a treasure that could greatly increase their strength.
Not only did Da Ming and Er Ming feel it was strange, but even Yu Yan, the person involved, felt a bit strange while absorbing the Cold Vortex Cinder-Hammer Dragon's spirit ring.
"I..."
Looking at the six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, two black—shining on Yu Yan's body and then thinking about Yu Yan's age, it was impossible not to be tempted.
"Why not agree? Do you have some doubts?"
Yu Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who hadn't agreed immediately, and asked what her concerns were.
"The rules of the Star Luo Royal Family are that Dai Mubai and I must defeat my sister and Dai Weisi together; the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Dai and Zhu families, the Hell White Tiger, can fight those of a higher level. It won't work if only I become stronger."
Having grown up under the influence of the Star Luo Royal Family, even in this situation, Zhu Zhuqing was still thinking about the Star Luo Royal Family's rules.
Hearing this answer, Yu Yan, nearly laughing in exasperation, asked Zhu Zhuqing back: "Do the Dai and Zhu families have a Titled Douluo?"
"No, but the Emperor and Empress of Star Luo can fight a Titled Douluo after performing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Hell White Tiger."
Zhu Zhuqing answered truthfully; this was common knowledge, and there was no need to hide it.
"As long as I become a Titled Douluo, the so-called rules of the Star Luo Empire won't be able to trouble you; even if I were to write a letter to the Emperor of Star Luo right now, he would give me Face and cancel the battle between you."
"With my help, you too can become a Titled Douluo in the future."
"I've said my piece; make your decision quickly."
