Are you... alright?
Seeing Xuan Ming being smashed away by her own force, Xiao Wu ran over somewhat guiltily.
"It's nothing." Xuan Ming dusted himself off and stood up.
Xiao Wu's Soft Skill compensate for her lack of strength, and combined with the rabbit's explosive power, it would be quite dangerous for an ordinary person to be kicked by it. However, its body is stronger than most beast Soul Master, and Xiao Wu's strength is not enough to hurt it.
"Why didn't you use more force just now?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.
Although her Soft Skill could allow her to use an opponent's force against them to some extent, Xuan Ming's strength was far greater than hers. She had used this move before, and Xuan Ming had managed to grab her by brute force.
But just now, Xuan Ming didn't use any force at all, letting her throw him away.
"I've been beating you up for so long, it's time to let you win this time," Xuan Ming said.
No one at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would dare to fight him. Even if he did go on stage, it would be a mere touch before his opponent would immediately concede defeat.
But it wasn't because they couldn't beat him, but because they were afraid of him, afraid of the Crown Prince behind him, and afraid of the Poison Douluo behind him.
Those who can't beat him dare not fight him, and those who can beat him dare even less.
During this period, Xiao Wu was basically his sparring partner. No matter how many times she was beaten up, she would never miss the next day. She was so dedicated; she deserved credit for her hard work, even if she didn't achieve anything remarkable.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ming looked at Xiaowu, whose face had turned pale, with Xiao Wu.
"You... you said the Sacrifice was still a long way off?" Xiao Wu asked nervously.
"How could it be now...?"
"Did I say you had to Sacrifice now?" Xuan Ming asked, puzzled.
"What you just said, wasn't it just like a suicide note?" Xiao Wu said, feeling wronged.
"She deserves to win this time," this doesn't sound like a compliment at all!
"What I mean is, I'm leaving," Xuan Ming said.
"Let's go?" Xiao Wu was taken aback.
Where to go?
"There's something I need to discuss in Heaven Dou City," Xuan Ming said.
During his time in Heaven Dou City over the past few years, Qian Renxue helped him a lot with his cultivation, and Snake Lance Douluo also personally taught him a little from time to time.
He had promised Qian Renxue that he would act as a tool for the Crown Prince and would not leave until the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire were over.
Having been away for so long, it's time to go back after obtaining the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone.
A few months ago, Xue Qinghe told him that she needed his help with something in a while, and if he didn't go back soon, Qian Renxue would definitely nag him.
Back in Nuoding City, today is the first day of school at the Nuoding Academy.
Out of curiosity, wanting to meet the legendary Grandmaster and see Tang San, Xuan Ming accompanied Ah Rou and Xiao Wu to report for duty.
At first, he did want to bring Ah Rou and Xiao Wu back to Heaven Dou City together, but considering certain issues, and also the fact that he would be taking their lives in the future, doing too much would make him seem pretentious.
Ultimately, we're going to take someone's life anyway, so we can't restrict their freedom any further.
Moreover, he sensed that the mother and daughter didn't want to see him, so he helped resolve Ah Rou and Xiao Wu's identity issues at the Spirit Hall Branch, and he also took the time to help arrange their accommodations in Nuoding City.
"You... you're not a student at the Nuoding Academy, are you?"
Ah Rou took Xiao Wu to the academic affairs office to register, while Xuan Ming sat by the academy's playground, resting against a big tree.
Suddenly, a man of medium build, slightly thin, led a dark-skinned, skinny boy who looked to be about six years old over.
Xuan Ming opened his eyes, glanced at it, then closed them again. "No."
"Are you Soul Master?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were a little strange, and his voice even trembled slightly, with a kind of inexplicable excitement.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ming opened his eyes.
"Can I see your Martial Soul?" Yu Xiaogang asked excitedly.
"No," Xuan Ming said.
"I meant no harm, I just sensed a strange aura emanating from you," Yu Xiaogang quickly said.
"If I'm not mistaken, your Martial Soul is a Mutated Martial Soul, right?"
Xuan Ming frowned slightly. "Who are you?"
"I am Yu Xiaogang, a resident of the Nuoding Academy..." Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"I have some knowledge of Martial Soul. Can I take a look at your Martial Soul?"
"Sorry, it's not convenient." Xuan Ming closed his eyes.
Yu Xiaogang wanted to say something more, but seeing Xuan Ming's attitude, his pride wouldn't allow him to be subservient any longer. After a pause, he turned around and pulled Tang San away.
"Teacher, how did you know he has a Dragon Martial Soul or Mutated Martial Soul?" Tang San asked.
"There is a bloodline suppression between Beast Martial Soul of the same type, especially for dragon Martial Soul," Yu Xiaogang said.
"I also possess a dragon-type Martial Soul, which is why I can sense a strange aura emanating from him."
"As for Mutated Martial Soul, this involves the Martial Soul of the corresponding Soul Beast. If it's a normal Soul Beast, its bloodline aura is stable, but Mutated Martial Soul, just like a mutated Soul Beast, has a restless bloodline aura."
"That person's Martial Soul exudes an extremely strong and ferocious aura, which should be a benign mutation, but it most likely has some kind of flaw."
"Flaw? Why?" Tang San asked curiously.
"I once investigated 150 Soul Master with Mutated Martial Soul, including those with Beast Martial Soul and Tool Martial Soul Master. Their Martial Soul all had some flaws to varying degrees, and those flaws were related to the strength of the Martial Soul Mutation to some extent," Yu Xiaogang said.
"Most of the time, the greater the difference between the quality of Martial Soul and its pre-mutation state, the more troublesome the corresponding defects become. However, most defects of Beast Martial Soul can hardly be called defects. Strictly speaking, they are more like their bodies being unable to withstand that unstable power."
"Because those defects don't have any direct impact on Soul Beast; the defects are relative to human Soul Master."
"Furthermore, just as a vicious weapon harms both the user and the attacker, so too does a vicious martial Martial Soul."
"Let alone Mutated Martial Soul, even the Martial Soul corresponding to those ferocious Soul Beast often have some dangerous flaws for human Soul Master."
"The most common problem is the loss of control over Beast Martial Soul. Because the Martial Soul is too powerful, the Soul Master's body and mind cannot bear that power. If the Martial Soul's energy malfunctions, it will go out of control."
"However, if the problem of losing control can be resolved, this flaw could also be a special ability."
Chapter 86 Compassion
"What special ability?" Tang San asked.
" Berserk Transformation!" Yu Xiaogang said.
"The essence of Berserk Transformation is a slight loss of control over the Martial Soul. Some powerful Soul Master can release the restraint on their Martial Soul at the mental level, disregarding the backlash caused by the excessive explosion of the Martial Soul. The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the amplification of Berserk Transformation. Some Soul Master can even unleash power far exceeding their normal level."
"The most famous of these is the Berserk Transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul. Once a Soul Saint- level Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master activates Berserk Transformation while in Martial Soul Avatar, even Titled Douluo- level Soul Master wouldn't dare to fight him head-on!"
"That powerful?" Tang San was somewhat surprised.
Among the martial arts techniques he knew in his previous life, there was none of this Berserk Transformation type.
"It's impressive, but Berserk Transformation is also extremely dangerous," Yu Xiaogang said.
"Ultimately, it's a result of overdrawing one's own power. Once the Berserk Transformation mode ends, the Soul Master will fall into an extremely weak state, and their Martial Soul will also be damaged. They may even be unable to use their Martial Soul for a long time to come."
" The Berserk Transformation ability, even if it's controllable, is a trump card that should absolutely not be used unless absolutely necessary."
Yu Xiaogang sighed, "Unfortunately, he doesn't want me to see his Martial Soul."
In order to resolve the defects of his own Martial Soul Mutation, he spent decades researching Mutated Martial Soul. This rare dragon-type Mutated Martial Soul might be able to provide him with some information.
"Perhaps it's because his Martial Soul is special?" Tang San said.
His father also said that his Second Martial Soul must never be seen by anyone else.
"That's true." Yu Xiaogang's regret lessened considerably.
Many Soul Master sects do not reveal their Martial Soul when their Soul Master are out in action.
However, a Mutated Martial Soul... could it be... someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
No, if it's a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, similar to his Martial Soul bloodline, he can sense it.
That person's Martial Soul must be from another dragon species.
Who was that person just now?
Ah Rou returned with Xiao Wu after completing the enrollment procedures at the academic affairs office.
Xiao Wu looked curiously at Yu Xiaogang and Tang San as they walked away.
How dare you take the initiative to talk to Xuan Ming?
What audacity!
"Stay away from a dejected middle-aged man who feels his talents are not being recognized," Xuan Ming said.
"Stay away from that child next to him."
"Why?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.
"There's no reason why," Xuan Ming said.
"Oh." Xiao Wu didn't dare to talk back.
Xuan Ming sighed, "It's not that you should avoid him, just be careful."
"Understood." Xiao Wu nodded, indicating that she had made a note of it.
"How was the enrollment process?" Xuan Ming asked.
"The dean of academic affairs said that even if your home is nearby, you still have to live in the college and be subject to unified management," Xiao Wu said.
"My mom talked for ages, but that person doesn't allow students to commute from school. But I want to live with my mom..."
Xuan Ming paused for a moment, then said, "I'll go talk to him about it."
"Huh?" Xiao Wu was taken aback.
How can you explain that?
"I have my own way." Xuan Ming walked towards the academic affairs office.
Xiao Wu looked puzzled. "Mom, did he go to get into a fight?"
"I don't think so..." Ah Rou was also a little uncertain.
Although she didn't know much about the Dragon Clan, there was only one rule in the world of powerful Soul Beast.
Whoever is stronger gets to decide!
A short while later, Xuan Ming returned from the Academic Affairs Office.
Xiao Wu and Ah Rou were both quite surprised to see the main teaching building intact.
They didn't make a move?
"Alright, you can commute now," Xuan Ming said.
"How... did you do that?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Her mother tried everything to persuade him, but the dean of academic affairs wouldn't budge!
"A little bit of human social etiquette," Xuan Ming said.
Nuoding Academy is essentially a primary Soul Master Academy established by the Heaven Dou Empire. He took out his student badge from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and showed it to the dean of academic affairs, and everything became much easier to discuss.
Although he still had the Pope Token given to him by Bibi Dong and the crown prince's warrant given to him by Xue Qinghe, it wouldn't be good to bring these two things out, so he decided to leave them alone.
After completing their enrollment procedures, Xuan Ming and the other two returned to their lodgings.
The courtyard was neither too big nor too small, but it had everything one would expect from a wealthy family in Nuoding City.
"Take this money; it should last you a long time."
Xuan Ming took out a small pile of Gold Soul Coin from his Soul Tool, which should be more than two thousand.
