"What's wrong?" the Ice Dragon King asked, puzzled.
Xuan Ming had told her before that the Snake Lance Douluo's fighting style was not suitable for him; he had no interest in that kind of convoluted attack.
Soul Master's fighting style must match their personality; otherwise, they will be unable to unleash their true power.
Therefore, the only person truly suitable to teach him is Clear Sky Douluo, who is known as the strongest among the Titled Douluo.
Of course, this kind of teaching isn't about step-by-step instruction; it's about combat!
Xuan Ming's combat intuition is terrifying; he can improve his fighting style through the clash of Martial Soul and the collision of powers.
He only needs to have a serious fight with Tang Hao to roughly understand how his opponent unleashes his full power.
Just like before, under the intimidating and suppressive power of Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain, and the collision with the power of the Clear Sky Hammer, the extreme excitement of his body and mind allowed Xuan Ming to successfully fuse his spirit with the Blood Spear, truly controlling that burst of power.
Now, he has truly gained control of the Ring Devouring.
Chapter 116 If you can't beat them, slander them
" Tang Yuehua," Xuan Ming said.
He could argue that he forced Blue Silver Emperor to buy his Soul Bone Soul Bone, and that if he managed to bring that person back to life later, it wouldn't be too unethical of him.
But now, Tang Hao is doing it again because of Tang Yuehua...
"How about I get her some flowers and plants to eat?" Xuan Ming suggested.
"I don't think she needs flowers and plants," the Ice Dragon King said strangely.
"If you could just... get a little closer, I think she would be very happy."
After all these years, she's finally seen through Tang Yuehua.
At first, she felt sympathy for Xuan Ming, but later, it almost turned into pure affection. After all, no one could dislike such an obedient, intelligent, and handsome child.
Furthermore, that woman has been single all this time, so her maternal instincts have overflowed and fallen on Xuan Ming's head.
Unfortunately, Xuan Ming wasn't very receptive to this kind of maternal love. He would subconsciously resist anything he wasn't comfortable with, regardless of whether it was good or bad.
An ordinary person would definitely not be able to stand such an unyielding block of ice, but Tang Yuehua is a woman who can see through people's hearts. The more Xuan Ming resisted, the more she liked to get closer. Through pure goodwill, she forced Xuan Ming to feel embarrassed to refuse anymore, just like an adult teasing a child.
"Let's talk about getting closer later." Xuan Ming took out two more pills and swallowed them.
The first two Soul Ring were fine, but the Fourth Soul Ring's burst was too terrifying. Now his body is in a state of extreme overexertion, and he can't use the Blood Spear for a while, otherwise this thing will really devour its master!
The next day, after dark, Xuan Ming leisurely returned to Suotuo City.
He didn't go back to the Shrek Academy. After all, he had already finished what he needed to do, and there was no need to stay there. It was uncomfortable and unpleasant to stay there.
Although he hadn't been pampered during his years of cultivation, he also had no interest in deliberately experiencing any hardship.
It's not like he hasn't experienced hardship.
Moreover, he needs to rest; if the conditions become any more difficult, he might actually end up in jail.
"You'd better be careful this next month. If anything goes wrong with you in this weakened state, I'll have to take action," the Ice Dragon King said.
The Ring Devouring technique is ultimately an over-exploitation of Soul Power and Martial Soul. Blood Spear is currently in a state of extreme hunger and will need a month to calm down. During this period, Xuan Ming cannot use Blood Spear again; otherwise, he would truly be feeding Blood Spear with his own flesh and blood.
During his time at the Moonlight Pavilion, Xuan Ming learned self-control and self-calmness, but the Blood Spear was anything but restrained, let alone calm!
This thing won't stop devouring until it's full!
"I know, I don't have anything else to say..." Xuan Ming stopped in his tracks.
No, he still needs to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to see if he can get his hands on the Eight Spider Lances.
Tang Yuehua's favor is Tang Yuehua's responsibility. At most, he will give Tang Hao some face and not lay a hand on Tang San. He still has to try the Eight Spider Lances.
Are you alright?
A Bingbing yet worried voice suddenly rang out. Xuan Ming came to his senses and found that Zhu Zhuqing had come to his side at some point, along with Tang San and his group, all standing in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Your complexion doesn't look right," Zhu Zhuqing said.
Although Xuan Ming looked Bingbing, it wasn't the sickly pale kind, but rather a simple repression. But right now, both his unstable aura and his slightly pale face indicated that he was in very poor condition!
"It's nothing, I just got into a fight," Xuan Ming said.
"Fighting?" Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised.
Who could possibly have beaten Xuan Ming to this state?
"Where is your mother?" Xuan Ming asked.
"She went back to the hotel, the one we used to stay at," Xiao Wu said.
"I'll take you there."
"No need, I can go by myself." Xuan Ming turned to leave, but suddenly a cold aura surged within him. Caught off guard, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Xuan Ming's vomiting of blood caused everyone present to change their expressions.
Zhu Zhuqing reacted quickly, rushing forward to support him. Her brows furrowed, her voice tinged with anxiety, "You're in this state and you still say you're fine?"
"Men all like to show off, right?" Xiao Wu helped Xuan Ming and couldn't help but complain.
Xuan Ming was speechless, but he forcibly activated his domain to suppress his injuries, while mentally asking the Ice Dragon King, "What are you doing?"
The aftereffects of the Ring Devouring are troublesome, but he can use the suppressive power of his domain to forcibly suppress the backlash of his Soul Power and slowly recover.
But just now, the Ice Dragon King suddenly bumped into him, disrupting his Soul Power circulation and aggravating his injuries.
"True friendship is revealed in times of trouble. I want to see their reaction," said the Ice Dragon King.
"What genuine feelings do I have for them?" Xuan Ming was somewhat speechless.
"It's hard to say," said the Ice Dragon King.
Xuan Ming is a rather slow-to-warm-up person because he is very guarded and doesn't easily trust others, but once he trusts someone, he won't easily doubt them.
However, the feelings between people often don't need time, but rather the right opportunity; the so-called love at first sight is a good example.
The development of a relationship is a long process, but falling in love can happen in an instant.
But Xuan Ming didn't believe in such things. He believed that a momentary impulse was just that—a momentary impulse—and that everything that came about would disappear once the passion cooled.
It comes quickly and goes quickly; he's not interested in that kind of thing.
However, not everyone is like him.
"I'm fine." Xuan Ming barely managed to control his injuries and straightened up.
"Just need a rest."
Zhu Zhuqing did not let go of Xuan Ming's hand, continuing to support him, "I'll take you to the hotel."
"Yes, it would be so dangerous if you got dizzy on the way," Xiao Wu said.
I'll take you to your mother's.
Xuan Ming looked at Xiao Wu with some confusion, "Have you lost your mind?"
Zhu Zhuqing's concern for him can be understood as a result of their acquaintance over the past few days, which could barely be considered friendship.
But Xiao Wu, this little rabbit probably wishes he would die sooner, right?
"Stop being so hesitant. Everyone says it's fine, yet you still insist on going up to them." Dai Mubai sneered, his voice filled with barely concealed anger.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced coldly at Dai Mubai, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust. "Still cleaner than you."
"You!" Dai Mubai clenched his fist, a strong white light flashing on his hand.
I have the utmost contempt for men who pretend to be weak and pitiful in front of women!
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and glared at Xuan Ming, transferring all his anger onto Xuan Ming as if Xuan Ming was the culprit who had caused him so much humiliation.
Xuan Ming frowned slightly, speechless. What kind of ghost fire was this? How did it end up burning him for no reason? He was only slightly injured, so how did he become the "pretending to be weak and pitiful" man Dai Mubai was talking about?
Some say he's stubborn, others say he's brainless and reckless, but this is the first time someone has said he's feigning weakness to gain sympathy.
Could this jealousy be any more blatant?
So you resort to slander because you can't compete?
"Why did I have to throw up now, of all times, but I had to run into you guys?" Dai Mubai sneered.
"What did you say?" Xiao Wu looked at Dai Mubai with some anger.
"Stop." Xuan Ming raised his hand to interrupt.
"Stop with this nonsense, just say you want to take action."
"You really think I'm afraid of you?!" Dai Mubai was also enraged.
Zhu Zhuqing's coldness and indifference towards him was already enough to infuriate him.
But then, turning around, she actually showed concern for another man right in front of him!
Isn't this a provocation?
Chapter 117 Taking advantage of someone's misfortune
"Hey! Dai Lewd Tiger, are you trying to take advantage of someone in distress?" Xiao Wu said.
Anyone with eyesight should be able to see that Xuan Ming's condition is very serious!
They were so timid and submissive during the day, but now that they see someone is seriously injured, they're all puffed up again?
"Stop talking nonsense." Xuan Ming was a little impatient. The tranquil white light suddenly exploded, and a heavy pressure instantly fell on Dai Mubai.
Faced with this cold, oppressive feeling, Dai Mubai's anger instantly subsided, but if he backed down now, he would truly become a laughingstock!
With a flash of purple Soul Ring, Dai Mubai instantly completed the Martial Soul Possession, his evil eyes turned blood red, his body swelled up to an extreme, and his entire body was enveloped in a layer of intense golden light.
"Don't think you're invincible just because you're in this field!" Dai Mubai said coldly.
Under normal circumstances, this guy's domain does indeed have an absolute suppressive effect on him. However, with the Thousand-Year Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, during the half-hour transformation period, his resistance to abnormal statuses, as well as his attack power, defense power, and strength, all double simultaneously.
He's no longer as helpless as he used to be!
"What a nuisance." Xuan Ming frowned, and a cold light flashed in the Black Dragon's eyes to his right rear. Instantly, a chill rose within the White Light Domain, the temperature dropped sharply, the air seemed to freeze, and a thick layer of frost quickly formed on the ground.
Dai Mubai felt a bone-chilling cold creep up from the soles of his feet, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to show weakness in front of everyone.
" Dai Mubai, calm down!" Tang San rushed forward to try to dissuade him, but Dai Mubai pushed him away.
"None of your business! Today I'll show him that I, Dai Mubai, am not someone to be trifled with!" Dai Mubai roared, the golden light around him growing even brighter. He charged forward with an indomitable spirit, fiercely attacking Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming stood still, his expression indifferent, watching Dai Mubai charge towards him. He simply raised his hand, and the Black Dragon to his right rear let out a deafening roar. The chill within the White Light Domain instantly condensed into sharp ice spikes, shooting towards Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai dodged the ice spikes with a flash, using the increased agility from the White Tiger Vajra Transformation. However, the ice spikes were numerous and extremely fast, making it very difficult for him to dodge, and he still suffered several cuts on his body.
"Hmph, is that all you've got?" Although Dai Mubai was injured, he remained defiant. He exerted his strength again, his speed suddenly increasing, and he instantly appeared in front of Xuan Ming, delivering a heavy punch to Xuan Ming's chest.
Xuan Ming neither dodged nor avoided, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Dai Mubai's body suddenly stiffened, and a layer of fine ice mist had already enveloped him.
The chill suddenly contracted, and the layer of icy mist instantly transformed into countless sharp ice spikes, like thousands of steel needles, which pierced into Dai Mubai's body.
"Ah!!"
Dai Mubai let out a painful scream. The golden light on his body flickered erratically under the attack of the ice spikes, making him appear to be on the verge of collapse.
The ice spikes continued to grow, digging deep into Dai Mubai's flesh, freezing his blood and imprisoning him firmly.
"Show mercy!"
Sensing the commotion, Flender grabbed Ma Hongjun and plummeted down from the sky.
Xuan Ming glanced at Flender, "For Qin Ming's sake, I'll spare your life."
Buzz!
As the domain receded, the bone-chilling cold dissipated abruptly, and the ice spikes embedded in Dai Mubai's body melted instantly.
The Ice Domain is the power that came from the Ice Dragon King's dragon soul power being integrated into his Beast Martial Soul. Its essence is a powerful control over water and ice elements. Over the years, under the Ice Dragon King's tutelage, he has also mastered this power and integrated it into this domain.
He was confident that he could absolutely defeat Soul Master of the same level without using the Blood Spear, and this was a large part of the reason.
