Chapter 53 Lina and Daigo
"Who is it?"
Following a spiritual instinctive warning, Lu Xingchen subconsciously looked up and focused his gaze on the car door that had just been opened.
A young girl bent down and sat down. She looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Her skin was as white as jade, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, and her soft long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Paired with her crisp school uniform, she looked even more lively and charming.
When her gaze swept over Lu Xingchen in the back seat, her bright, lively eyes lit up slightly, as if she had discovered something interesting.
"Oh, what an adorable little brother!"
After closing the car door, the girl showed no awkwardness whatsoever, instead displaying a friendly and familiar warmth. Leaning slightly forward, she asked Lu Xingchen curiously, "What's your name? Are you also going to Tianhai Stadium to watch the competition?"
Faced with the girl's sudden enthusiasm, Lu Xingchen remained completely calm. He simply tilted his head slightly and asked, "Sister, shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone's name?"
"Oh right, hehe~ I almost forgot to introduce myself~"
The girl was taken aback by the question for a moment, then reacted, stuck out her pink tongue, and gave a naive and playful smile, with two shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks, making her look exceptionally lively.
"Little brother, my name is Lina, and I'm a student at Tianhai Academy. Now it's your turn. What's your name?"
As she spoke, she winked gently at Lu Xingchen, her gesture intimate yet respectful, making it difficult for anyone to feel any aversion.
"My name is Daigo, Madoka Daigo."
Without batting an eye, Lu Xingchen fabricated a fake name to fool the person in front of him.
"So it's Daigo, my little brother! What a nice name!" Lina's smile deepened, and she asked in a lighthearted tone, "Are you also going to watch the Sky Sea Alliance Grand Tournament?"
"After all, this is a major event held every three years, so of course we have to go and see it."
"Is Da Gu a Soul Master?" Lina asked in quick succession, her gaze fixed on Lu Xingchen with a mixture of curiosity and inquiry.
"Um."
"Wow, that's amazing! You look so young, yet you're already a Soul Master. You're destined for great things."
"Lina isn't bad either, is she? Judging from your school uniform, you must be a student in the advanced department of Tianhai Academy. Your cultivation level shouldn't be too bad, right?"
Hehe~
Lina covered her mouth and chuckled, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Then, little brother Daigo, how about you guess what ring number I have? If you guess right, I'll treat you to dinner, how about that?"
"I'm guessing you're a Title Douluo, and a Demon Soul Master at that."
Lu Xingchen cursed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. Following her lead, he feigned seriousness and speculated, "Sister Lina seems quite strong; she must be a three-ring Soul Master, right?"
"You guessed wrong~" Lina shook her head gently, her tone playful. "Your sister is a second-ring Grand Soul Master~"
As she spoke, she stretched out her slender finger and gently tapped Lu Xingchen's forehead, her smile bright: "Although I'm very happy that you consider me a genius, if I were that strong, I would have participated in the competition long ago."
The moment Lina extended her finger, Lu Xingchen's mental energy stirred slightly, ready to deliver a head-on blow at any moment. Fortunately, he did not sense any malice, so he withdrew his mental energy.
The girl, '0-01', shifted slightly in his arms, seemingly preparing to write. Clear characters, linked through a hidden mental connection, quietly surfaced in Lu Xingchen's mind, revealing the true nature of the girl before him.
This year, at the age of twenty-two, Nanali finally broke through to the ninth ring, becoming a Title Douluo. This breakthrough not only brought a leap in strength but also filled her with immense joy.
However, what surprised Nanali even more was that the Ghost Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult held her in extremely high regard.
After news of Nanali's breakthrough to Title Douluo spread, the Ghost Emperor immediately ordered that some of the sect's core resources be allocated to her, and appointed her as one of the heads of the eastern region, putting her in charge of some sect affairs in the east coast area.
The joy of breaking through to the Title Douluo level and the attention from the sect's higher-ups filled Nanali with a sense of inflated ego, almost causing her to unleash a massacre in Tianhai City to vent her inner turmoil.
However, she knew that the Holy Spirit Cult was secretly preparing a major event that would shake the entire continent, and all members needed to remain discreet to avoid attracting the attention of the Federation.
Left with no other choice, Nunnally had to forcibly suppress her bloodlust and find other ways to pass this "dormant period."
Despite being a demonic spirit master, Nanali acts with extreme caution.
In her past acts of terrorism, she always ensured that no one was left alive and that all traces of herself were erased. This is why her true identity has never been revealed, and she remains unlisted on the federal government's most wanted list.
Due to the unique nature of her martial soul, Nanali was unable to attend a soul master academy like normal soul masters from a young age, which became a small regret in her heart.
To make up for this regret, she used the power of the Holy Spirit Cult to forge a complete identity file, successfully infiltrating Tianhai Academy and experiencing the daily campus life of a Soul Master Academy under the name "Lina."
News of the Skysea Alliance Grand Tournament naturally didn't escape Nanali's notice, as she was constantly monitoring the situation on the East Coast. She was quite interested in this triennial regional event, wanting both to observe the strength of the young Soul Masters on the East Coast and to take this opportunity to relax.
So she hailed a soul-guided taxi, intending to go to the Tianhai Gymnasium to watch the game, but unexpectedly, a cute-looking little boy was already sitting in the car.
Although Nanali's soul power cultivation had just broken through to level 91, the Title Douluo, her mental strength had already reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, far surpassing other soul masters of the same level. The moment she boarded the vehicle, she used her powerful mental strength to see through Lu Xingchen's identity as a soul master.
[With a slightly teasing mindset, Nunnally struck up a conversation with the little boy she had "bumped into."]
"Twenty-two years old, a Title Douluo, this woman's talent is truly terrifying, it's a pity she's an evil soul master."
On the surface, Lu Xingchen continued his casual conversation with Lina, seemingly nonchalant, but in reality, he was already planning his next move.
Even if a Title Douluo-level evil soul master shows no hostility for the time being, one must not be complacent in the slightest.
While '0-01' excels at creating coincidences, it is also the kind of coincidence it can't defend against.
The premise of "every word spoken will be known" is that the other party's actions are clearly targeted and have a causal relationship with oneself.
If, as it is now, Nanali simply flagged down a car randomly and happened to ride in the same car as him, this pure coincidence would be completely outside the "0-01" prediction range.
