Chapter 107 Zhu Zhuqing is numb! Lu Ming is a humanoid beast, terrifying beyond belief!
The huge granite block that was usually used to decorate the artificial mountain was now suspended in mid-air.
Beneath that boulder, there was only one hand.
Lu Ming's hand.
That boulder, which would have taken five or six strong men to encircle, weighed at least five thousand catties, but in Lu Ming's hands, it felt like a light cotton ball.
He even had the leisure to toss the boulder upwards and catch it steadily without his body swaying at all.
Most importantly, Zhu Zhuqing did not sense any fluctuations of soul power from him.
There was no martial spirit attached to him, and no spirit rings flashing.
Pure physical strength?
Zhu Zhuqing's usually cool eyes were wide open at this moment, and her rosy lips were slightly open, unable to close.
"Is this even human?"
She murmured to herself unconsciously.
Hearing the noise, Lu Ming turned around and saw Zhu Zhuqing standing at the door in a daze. He then casually flipped his wrist.
"Boom!"
He casually tossed the massive boulder, weighing several thousand kilograms, aside, and it crashed to the ground with a dull thud.
The ground of the entire courtyard trembled three times, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Lu Ming patted the dust off his hands, his expression unchanged, as if he had just thrown away an apple core.
"Do the clothes fit?" Lu Ming asked.
Zhu Zhuqing finally came to her senses, looked down at her leather jacket, and felt her cheeks burning slightly, but she couldn't help but glance at the boulder out of the corner of her eye.
She swallowed hard, suppressing the shock in her heart, and said:
"It fits...it fits perfectly."
"Lu Ming, you... didn't use your soul power just now?"
Even though she saw it with her own eyes, she still couldn't help but want to confirm it.
Lu Ming casually walked to the stone table next to him, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Yeah, just practicing a bit, stretching my muscles."
Just practicing casually?
Zhu Zhuqing felt as if her understanding of the world was being trampled on.
She walked quickly to the boulder and tentatively reached out to push it.
It remained completely still.
The weight of this stone is undeniable; it's a solid 5,000 jin or more.
"A monster..."
Zhu Zhuqing turned around and looked at Lu Ming's slightly thin frame, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Soul beasts are known for their physical strength. Even a power-attack type soul master of the same level is far less powerful than a soul beast without using soul skills."
"But your physique... it's even more like a soul beast than a soul beast itself!"
Lu Ming smiled but didn't explain further.
If I told this girl that my current physical abilities are comparable to those of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she'd probably be too scared to sleep tonight.
"Alright, stop studying the rocks."
Lu Ming put down his teacup and stood up.
"Today is a full moon day. I heard that Tiandou City is very lively. Put away your naive and ignorant attitude, tidy yourself up, and let's go out for a stroll."
...
Night falls in Tiandou City.
The moon is exceptionally round tonight, like a giant white jade plate hanging in the sky, its cool moonlight bathing the entire city.
As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City has completely transformed into a city that never sleeps tonight.
The streets were lined with all sorts of colorful lanterns, some shaped like rabbits, some like coiled dragons, and others like lotus flowers, which floated slowly down the moat.
Countless Kongming lanterns rose from every corner of the city, twinkling like stars, reflecting the full moon in the sky.
The cacophony of voices, vendors' cries, and children's laughter blended together, creating a torrent of "human warmth and life."
Lu Ming walked along the wide bluestone road with his hands in his pockets.
To his left was Zhu Zhuqing, who had a hot figure and a cool temperament.
To his right was Ning Rongrong, dressed in a light blue silk dress, with a quirky and clever demeanor.
This combination is incredibly eye-catching.
Ning Rongrong held a string of candied hawthorns in one hand and a delicate rabbit lantern in the other. Her bright, lively eyes darted around excitedly.
Wow! This full moon day is so lively!
"Zhuqing, look! The jugglers over there seem to be breathing fire!"
Ning Rongrong pointed to the crowd in the distance and excitedly tugged at Zhu Zhuqing's sleeve.
Ever since leaving Shrek Academy, everyone has been holding their breath, and the atmosphere has been very tense.
Now that she's in the bustling Tiandou City, and with Lu Ming, this "tycoon," protecting her, Ning Rongrong's playful nature has been completely unleashed.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's happy expression, Zhu Zhuqing's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
She took a deep breath of the air, which smelled of food, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"It's quite lively."
She turned her head and glanced at Lu Ming beside her.
Although he said he was bored, he still came out with them and helped them fend off a lot of unwanted suitors along the way.
"Rongrong," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Ning Rongrong took a bite of the candied hawthorn, her cheeks puffed out.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her voice and said mysteriously:
Do you know what I saw in the yard before I went out?
Ning Rongrong's curiosity was instantly piqued, and she leaned closer to ask:
"What did you see? Did you catch Lu Ming peeping at you while you were showering?"
Lu Ming, who was walking beside him, stumbled and rolled his eyes helplessly.
This little witch, what kind of nonsense is in her head?
Zhu Zhuqing blushed and glared at Ning Rongrong in annoyance.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"I saw... Lu Ming lifting stones in the yard."
"What's so strange about lifting stones?" Ning Rongrong pouted. "Teacher Zhao Wuji lifts stones every day too."
"no the same."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, the shock in her eyes not yet completely gone.
"That was a landscape stone weighing over 5,000 kilograms, which Lu Ming… lifted with one hand."
"Moreover, I didn't sense any fluctuations in soul power. He didn't use any soul skills at all, and he didn't even activate his martial soul."
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then burst out laughing.
She reached out and poked Zhu Zhuqing's forehead with her finger.
"Zhuqing, did you wash your brain into water while taking a shower?"
"Here we go again with this kind of joke."
Zhu Zhuqing panicked, "I'm not joking, it's true!"
"Okay, okay, really, really."
Ning Rongrong nodded perfunctorily, clearly not believing a single word.
"A five-thousand-pound boulder, lifted with one hand without using soul power?"
Anyone who believes that is an idiot!
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes dramatically, looking at Zhu Zhuqing as if she were an idiot.
"Even a titled Douluo, even my grandfather Bone, could not achieve this level of strength with just his physical body without using his soul power."
"The human body has its limits, unless Lu Ming is a Titan ape in human skin."
After saying that, Ning Rongrong didn't forget to turn to Lu Ming and tease him:
"Hey, you big monster Lu, Zhu Qing said you're a Titan Ape in disguise, is that true?"
