"Bring him back first!" Xue Qinghe said coldly.
"I want to hear his explanation. He put on such a show of loyalty and integrity, saying he would do what he promised and wouldn't agree to do what he wasn't willing to do. He promised to cooperate with me to complete the Heaven Dou Empire's plan, and I believed him and helped him. Now he's found an opportunity to run away!"
"Is this what he means by keeping his word?"
"Ridiculous!!"
Xue Qinghe clenched his fist and smashed it down, shattering the stone table in front of him into pieces.
"If anyone's going to be killed, it will be me!"
"Understood." Snake Lance Douluo dared not say anything more and quickly left.
Xue Qinghe, his face grim, looked towards the direction of the Balak Kingdom, " Xuan Ming..."
Anyone who dares to mess with her will pay the price!
Chapter 88 Returning to the Academy
"Young Master, the person has been found!"
Not long after Qian Renxue issued the order, Snake Lance Douluo returned to the Crown Prince's residence with news of Xuan Ming.
"Where was it caught?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"Uh... he came back on his own," said Snake Lance Douluo.
Xue Qinghe was taken aback. "You came back by yourself?"
He was missing for several months, and now he's come back on his own?
Are you kidding me?
"Young Master, what about the Elder Hall..." Snake Lance Douluo hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
After Qian Renxue relayed the message back to Spirit City, two elders from the Elder Hall were already on standby. As soon as the Spirit Hall below found out about the information, they would immediately set out to arrest the person.
"Send the message back; there's no need for that for now." Xue Qinghe stood up.
Where is he?
" The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is located just outside the city."
Meanwhile, Xuan Ming, who had returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy after several months, went straight to the cafeteria.
If there's anything about Heaven Dou City that he truly misses, besides a few friends, it's only the food.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Upon receiving the news, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling rushed over immediately. Seeing Xuan Ming's stronger but obviously thinner body, they felt somewhat sorry for him.
They spent almost two years fattening Xuan Ming up, but he's lost so much weight in just a few months!
How many meals must they have gone hungry outside?
Xuan Ming ate for almost half an hour before finally stopping.
He really hadn't eaten much during that time, because the food on the road was really unpalatable, and he was busy running away from Tang Hao, traveling back almost day and night.
In addition, the Ice Dragon King would occasionally half-possess him and carry him for a while, and relying on his sense of the dragon bones in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could travel in a straight line and did not get lost at the border for two months as before.
"Where have you been all this time?" Dugu Yan asked.
"When Grandpa came back, he said you had gone out. I thought you would be back in a few days, but it turns out you've been gone for more than three months."
"I'm going out for a walk," Xuan Ming said.
"Walk? Well, you've walked quite a distance." Xue Qinghe walked straight over and sat down opposite Xuan Ming.
"I've heard that you've even gone to the Star Luo Empire."
" Star Luo Empire?" Dugu Yan was taken aback.
What are you going over there for?
"Holy crap..."
"Could they be lost?" Ye Lingling wondered.
Xuan Ming's expression froze for a moment. "I'm not lost, I just misread the map."
"..." Ye Lingling.
"..." Dugu Yan.
"..." Xue Qinghe.
Looks like we're really lost!
"How did you get lost... how did you take the wrong turn and end up in the Star Luo Empire?" Xue Qinghe asked.
Heaven Dou City is far from the border. Even the fastest carriage would take at least half a month to reach the border. Even if Xuan Ming got lost, he wouldn't get lost that far.
"I... I'll go back and take a look," Xuan Ming said.
"Go back?" Xue Qinghe was taken aback.
" Aolai City?"
Xuan Ming didn't speak. When he passed through the Balak Kingdom, he did make a special trip back to Aolai City and White Feather Village to take a look. He also helped the village chief's family cancel their household registration.
After all, he should thank them for taking care of him and his mother over the years.
"..."
Seeing that Xuan Ming's mood was off, Xue Qinghe didn't say anything more. Even if he was brainless, he should realize by now that he had said the wrong thing.
Xue Qinghe glanced at Dugu Yan, signaling her to find a way to change the subject.
Dugu Yan understood immediately. Knowing Xuan Ming's personality, she pretended nothing had happened and pulled Xuan Ming, saying, "Don't sit after you finish eating. Go for a walk to help digest."
Ye Lingling also stood up, picked up the Blue Silver Emperor that Xuan Ming had brought back from the table, and the three of them walked out of the cafeteria together.
Training ground.
After taking a walk in the back mountain to relax, Dugu Yan dragged Xuan Ming along to satisfy her curiosity.
"Grandpa said your Second Soul Ring is almost three thousand years old, and your Soul Skill are particularly insidious... particularly powerful!" Dugu Yan quickly corrected herself.
"Let me see it."
She had never heard of Second Soul Ring that existed in a thousand years before, let alone one that was nearly three thousand years old.
Moreover, the Startling Wing Thunder Python is an extremely rare and powerful Soul Beast!
"How can I see it?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Just put it in?"
"This..." Dugu Yan looked at the people on the training ground.
I'll find you a rival.
" Yu Tianheng!"
Dugu Yan waved to a tall, slender man in the distance, over 1.8 meters tall, wearing the uniform of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Hearing the voice, Yu Tianheng turned around and looked over. "What is it?"
Dugu Yan beckoned, "Come here, I'd like to introduce you to someone."
Yu Tianheng glanced at Xuan Ming, Xuan Ming peculiar figure, beside Dugu Yan, and seemed to have guessed his identity.
Rumor has it that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has a strange combination: a venomous snake, a dull dragon who doesn't like to talk, and a little invisible begonia flower.
The venomous snake must be Dugu Yan, the crabapple blossom is Ye Lingling, and this silly dragon... that's quite fitting, he doesn't look very smart at all.
Yu Tianheng walked over. "You are Xuan Ming?"
"Hmm," Xuan Ming responded.
"Your body..." Yu Tianheng's eyes changed slightly.
"Aren't you cultivating Tool Martial Soul?"
Is this kind of terrifying blood and energy Tool Martial Soul Master could possess?
Just kidding!
"Isn't that amazing? Aren't you curious? Come on! You two have a fight and see what happens," Dugu Yan said.
"Me and him?" Yu Tianheng hesitated.
"Don't worry, Xuan Ming is also Soul Grandmaster," Dugu Yan said.
"Besides, you might not be his match."
With the First Soul Ring in eight hundred years and the Second Soul Ring in three thousand years, she felt that Yu Tianheng couldn't even withstand a single Soul Skill from Xuan Ming!
"I'm no match for him?" Yu Tianheng frowned.
" Xuan Ming, you see? He's really not happy about it!" Dugu Yan patted Xuan Ming on the shoulder.
Xuan Ming glanced at Dugu Yan speechlessly, "If you want to fight, why don't you fight him?"
"You think I didn't fight him? He came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy last month, and I fought him once then, but I lost," Dugu Yan said.
"Now that you're back, aren't you going to help me get revenge?"
Xuan Ming sighed, "Alright."
Yu Tianheng was already proud and arrogant. Provoked by Dugu Yan and seeing Xuan Ming accept the challenge, he no longer hesitated.
The two quickly stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform. Hearing the commotion, the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy gathered around. Xue Qinghe also stood at a distance, together with the three education committee members.
"After not seeing him for several months, his vitality has become even stronger," Zhi Lin said.
Although Xuan Ming only cultivated the Tool Martial Soul, his Beast Martial Soul became powerful because it was so closely integrated with his body.
The stronger one's Qi and Blood, the greater the power and explosive force of that Soul Master.
Such fluctuations in qi and blood are extremely rare, even among beast Soul Master.
"Who do the three education commissioners think is stronger, him or Yu Tianheng?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"Judging from the quality of the Soul Ring, Xuan Ming has the advantage, but..." Meng Shenji paused.
" Yu Tianheng has cultivated for several more years and has more combat experience, so it's hard to say who will win or lose..."
Before, Xuan Ming was below level 20 and not a formal student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so he naturally didn't receive much combat training.
In battles for Soul Master, stats are important, but experience is just as crucial.
" Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level 27 Battle Soul Master, please enlighten me."
As he spoke, Yu Tianheng circulated his Soul Power, lightning crackled around him, and two Soul Ring rose from his feet, their yellow hues reflecting each other, a standard feature of a two-ring Soul Grandmaster.
" Xuan Ming, Blood Spear Martial Soul, Level 23, please enlighten me." Xuan Ming circulated his Soul Power, summoning the Blood Spear, and two Soul Ring, one yellow and one purple, rose from his feet.
" Thousand-Year Soul Ring?!"
The crowd erupted in disbelief as the students stared intently at the purple Soul Ring hovering beneath Xuan Ming.
"A thousand years... the second ring?" Yu Tianheng's calm expression could no longer remain calm.
Are you kidding me?!
Is this definitely not a hidden Soul Ring?
Chapter 89 Incomprehensible
The impact of the second ring of the millennium seemed a bit too great, so much so that even before the fight began, the students below the stage were already speculating about the outcome, with many believing that Yu Tianheng was destined to lose.
How do you fight between a hundred-year-old Soul Skill and a thousand-year-old Soul Skill?
On the Soul Fighting stage, Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
