A cold white light suddenly exploded outwards. Bu Le, who had just reached out with a lewd expression, was enveloped by this sudden pressure of death. His mind went blank instantly, and he froze on the spot.
"Does your mother know that you're out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Um... I..." Xiao Wu lowered her head guiltily, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to cover this up.
Xuan Ming glanced at the lewd-looking Bu Le, "You have rather heavy tastes."
Xiao Wu's expression froze. "It's not what you think!"
Not wanting to be misunderstood, Xiao Wu quickly explained to Xuan Ming why she was there.
During this time, Bu Le finally recovered from the pressure of death, but his legs were still too weak to stand, and his face was full of terror.
"So, he's going to attack you?" Xuan Ming said.
"Yes, I was just about to teach him a lesson, but then you..." Xiao Wu grabbed Xuan Ming's hand guiltily, looking at him pitifully.
Can we not tell Mom?
Xuan Ming raised his hand and flicked Xiao Wu on the head, making her crouch down with her head in her hands. Then, he threw out the Blood Spear, and with a flash of blood, it pierced through Bu Le's chest.
"You..." Bu Le's eyes widened, filled with fear and resentment, before he even had a chance to activate his Martial Soul.
Xuan Ming frowned, and the devouring power of the Blood Spear suddenly erupted, causing a surge of scarlet blood mist to rush out and invade Bu Le's body. Without giving him a chance to resist, it devoured his Soul Power in just a few breaths, and most of his blood energy was also plundered. Bu Le's body visibly withered away.
Crimson lightning surged, and a terrifying explosion spread directly from the inside to Bu Le's entire body, instantly turning him into a bloody mist.
Immediately following, a flash of fire incinerated the blood mist in the air.
Nothing was left.
"..."
The air fell silent. Seeing this smooth and skillful operation, Tang San and his companions, who were hiding in the shadows, were extremely stiff.
It wasn't because they were afraid of witnessing a vibrant Life disappear before their eyes, but because they could clearly sense that if it were them, the outcome wouldn't be much different; it would just take a few more breaths!
A murderous intent suddenly arose; a single blow would be fatal!
There wasn't a single moment of delay!
They wouldn't doubt for a second that this person is a professional assassin!
"Get some rest. It's the middle of the night. Don't go to places like this; it's not safe."
Xuan Ming said something, then turned and walked away.
Xiao Wu then snapped out of her daze, waved to Tang San and the others in the shadows, and lowered her voice, "I'm sleeping with my mom tonight, Xiao San, you guys go back first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu jogged up to catch up with Xuan Ming.
"Where have you been these past few months? I haven't heard from you at all!" Xiao Wu asked.
"I went back and went into seclusion," Xuan Ming said.
"She's in seclusion." Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I thought you left because of Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing," Xiao Wu said.
"What does it have to do with them?" Xuan Ming asked, puzzled.
"Because of the fight you had with Dai Mubai," Xiao Wu said.
" Rongrong and Dai Mubai don't get along, Zhu Zhuqing's relationship with Dai Mubai is also somewhat strained. Every time you're mentioned, they end up arguing."
"Plus, you left without a word, so Rongrong suspects that you're at odds with some people in the academy. After all, you said you were planning to wait for someone here."
"But Dai Mubai and the others said that you went to become a live-in son-in-law for the Dragon Snake Family."
"You know Rongrong's temper; they've started arguing again."
"If Rongrong gets into a fight, I definitely can't just stand by and watch; I have to step in and say a few words to help. The Xiao San, worried that I'll cause trouble, will also join in as a peacemaker."
"Every time they argued, it took Dean Flender to intervene and stop them. And after each argument, the Grandmaster would increase the training tasks we received. By last month, even if we argued, we didn't dare to argue in the academy anymore."
"You guys are really bored." Xuan Ming was speechless.
"Isn't it because you left without a word?" Xiao Wu complained.
If Xuan Ming had said something before leaving, it would have been fine, but he just disappeared like that. If she didn't know Xuan Ming's abilities, she would have suspected that he had been kidnapped and locked up in a dark room by that Dragon Snake Family!
Led by Xiao Wu, Xuan Ming arrived at Ah Rou's residence.
In the past few months, Ah Rou has stopped staying in hotels and instead rented a small courtyard in Suotuo City. Xiao Wu has time to rest, she will bring her friends over to play.
"Why didn't you get a bigger one?" Xuan Ming asked.
"The money I've given you is more than enough to buy a hotel."
"This is enough," Ah Rou said.
"I usually live alone, so a larger place would be difficult to manage and inconvenient."
"Alright, whatever you like is fine, no need to save money," Xuan Ming said.
"There's no use keeping that money."
Ah Rou nodded. "I know, you're so late. Have you eaten?"
"No," Xuan Ming said.
"I'll go make it for you now." Ah Rou stood up and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
"No need for anesthesia..."
"It'll be ready soon, just wait a moment."
"... Thanks."
For the next few days, Xuan Ming simply stayed here.
Having just spent three months in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he cannot enter that place again for the next six months. Otherwise, it would be too much, and he couldn't bear the feeling of being in prison.
At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, no one dared to fight him, especially after he obtained the Diamond Soul Fighting Badge, making it impossible for him to even compete in the Great Soul Arena.
Here, Ah Rou can also practice with him.
" Invincible Golden Body!"
" Invincible Golden Body!"
" Invincible Golden Body!"
"..."
"Do you have to be so shameless?"
Watching Ah Rou withstand his attacks with her Invincible Golden Body every time, only to be slammed away by him, Xuan Ming felt for the first time what it meant to be utterly disgusted and helpless!
"Me, a scoundrel?" Ah Rou looked puzzled.
Isn't your field even more unscrupulous?
Her Invincible Golden Body is a one-time skill, and it's a time-limited single-target defense, Xuan Ming's domain is a crowd control and area-of-effect attack!
It can even create Colorless Wall with terrifying defensive capabilities!
How dare you call her a scoundrel?
"I..." Xuan Ming was speechless for a moment.
"Again."
Without hesitation, Ah Rou immediately channeled her Martial Soul Possession and charged forward.
She had actually wanted to try it out when Xiao Wu fought Xuan Ming before!
The feeling of personally throwing Xuan Ming out like this...
"Brother Xuan Ming!"
The courtyard gate suddenly opened, and Xiao Wu rushed in with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Just then, they saw Xuanming being kicked into the sky by Ah Rou, Xuan Ming nearly fifty meters.
Seeing someone approaching, Ah Rou, who was about to Teleportation to pursue them, stopped, and Xuan Ming slowly descended from the sky.
Domain removed.
Seeing Xuan Ming looking rather disheveled, Xiao Wu and the other two all wore strange expressions.
This was the first time they had ever seen Xuan Ming like this!
Is this someone being abused?
"Is something the matter?" Xuan Ming's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Well, Grandmaster has arranged the next round of training for us, saying it will take place in the Great Soul Arena. We don't need to stay at the academy anymore, so I came back." Xiao Wu wisely didn't delve into the matter further, otherwise she felt her rabbit head would grow a bump again!
"And you two?" Xuan Ming, looking at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
"We'd like to stay here with Xiao Wu, so we can look after each other," Ning Rongrong said earnestly, linking arms with Zhu Zhuqing.
"There's no room here, you should find somewhere else," Xuan Ming said.
"There's enough room," Ah Rou said, pointing to the empty room in the courtyard.
"That room is quite large. I'll tidy it up; it'll easily accommodate two people."
" Xiao Wu and I will share a room, which is perfect."
"..."
Chapter 143 The Star of the Great Soul Arena
As night fell, at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's urging, Xuan Ming reluctantly followed them to the Great Soul Arena.
Xuan Ming felt extremely uncomfortable as soon as he entered the hall.
It wasn't just because of the gazes gathering from all directions, but also because there was a statue in the center of the main hall of this Great Soul Arena.
His statue!
Moreover, posters featuring his image are displayed in prominent locations throughout the Great Soul Arena!
"What's going on?" Ah Rou, who had come to watch the commotion, couldn't help but ask.
"The boss behind the Soto Great Soul Arena is a fan of Brother Xuan Ming," Ning Rongrong said.
"Not only that, the city lord of Suotuo City is also a fan of his. I heard before that the city lord of Suotuo City originally planned to build a large statue for Brother Xuan Ming in the city center as a landmark building, but the plan was canceled due to strong opposition from someone."
Xuan Ming is the most dazzling star in the Great Soul Arena of this era! Without a doubt!
He has fans all over mainland China!
Before Xuan Ming obtained the Diamond Soul Fighting Badge, every match at the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena would attract spectators from all over the continent!
Sometimes, a VIP ticket can fetch tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coin!
Because of this, after Xuan Ming obtained the Diamond Soul Fighting Badge, the Seven Great Families directly gave Xuan Ming 10% of the annual profits from the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena as a dividend!
"A 10% profit? How much is that?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, "At least twenty million Gold Soul Coin."
"Twenty million?!" Xiao Wu screamed in shock.
Even if she has no concept of money, 20 million Gold Soul Coin is still an astronomical figure!
"This is just a minimum estimate, and it only applies to the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena," Ning Rongrong said.
"In addition to that, he also receives a share of the profits from advertising endorsements, such as the statues and posters at the Soto Great Soul Arena, which are all part of the advertising campaign. Adding them all up, it should amount to around ten million."
Xiao Wu looked completely bewildered, her eyes wide. "You mean, even if he does nothing but lie at home and sleep, he can still earn 30 million Gold Soul Coin every year?"
"Okay!" Ning Rongrong nodded.
"His income alone is equivalent to the total income of the entire Suotuo City!"
