Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 101 Pretending requires real strength
……

"I'm saying, shouldn't this room belong to me?"

Just as Xuanming was about to leave and find a place to stay, a tall, blond man with sinister eyes walked into the Rose Hotel with a pair of twin sisters in his arms, bumping right into him.

The man with the evil eyes was instinctively drawn to Qian Renxue, but considering the twins beside him, he said nothing and walked straight to the counter. "Are you new here? Don't you know you always reserve a room for me?"

Xuanming sized up the person in front of him and roughly guessed his identity.

However, he had no interest in paying attention to this guy.

He came to Soto City to check on Arou and Xiaowu, and also to test his self-created soul skill.

"Wait a minute." Qian Renxue pulled Xuan Ming back.

"Are you going to leave me all alone? How can you do that?"

“You’re not a child,” Xuanming said.

Qian Renxue tiptoed and whispered in Xuan Ming's ear, "I went to so much trouble to help you hunt for a soul ring, and you can't even play with me for a few days?"

“But there’s only one room left,” Xuanming said.

"I'm just moving to a different place."

"What if something happens while you're not around? You can't expect me to take action directly, can you?" Qian Renxue said.

Xuanming was speechless for a moment.

Qian Renxue cannot fight outside anymore, and Tang San should have already arrived in Soto City, and Tang Hao is most likely here as well. If her martial soul is recognized, it will be troublesome.

Even the Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't make a move...

“It’s just sharing a room, it’s not like we’re going to do anything. Besides, I’m not afraid of what you might do, so why would you be afraid of what I might do to you?” Qian Renxue said.

Xuanming glanced at Qian Renxue and withdrew his hand. "Hard to say."

Qian Renxue's face darkened, and she reached out and pinched Xuan Ming's lower back hard. "When we're out in public, you'd better give me some face."

Xuanming was somewhat speechless. "Do all women like this trick of twisting their lower back?"

“I can also use a knife,” Qian Renxue said.

"Putting aside your monster-like regenerative abilities, even if you can't recover, your little begonia flower can help heal your injuries."

“You’re being sarcastic and unhelpful. Your persona has collapsed,” Xuanming said.

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black," Qian Renxue said.

"Isn't this because you taught me well?"

Having been subjected to Xuanming's sarcastic remarks for so many years, even if she didn't want to learn them, she was subconsciously infected by them!
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, that room was reserved by Young Master Dai. Please choose another hotel." Just as Qian Renxue and Xuan Ming were whispering to each other, the hotel manager came out, explained the situation to Dai Mubai, and then began to see the guests off.

"Reservation? Why didn't you say reservation just now?" Qian Renxue frowned.

When she doesn't need to play the role of Xue Qinghe, she has no interest in putting on those boring formalities.

“Girl, it’s better to let men handle these kinds of things.” Dai Mubai looked at Xuan Ming, who hadn’t said a word. “Judging from your appearance, you should also be Soul Masters. How about this, let’s resolve this in the way Soul Masters do.”

"If I lose, I leave; if you lose, you both leave, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, the twins beside Dai Mubai readily released their grip and stepped aside.

Xuanming glanced at Qian Renxue, "Whatever you want."

Dai Mubai frowned. "To act like this requires real ability!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wicked glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes. He clenched his right fist, charged forward, and struck at Xuan Ming.

Xuanming didn't make any move, as if he hadn't reacted at all.

However, the next moment, contrary to what the onlookers expected, Xuanming was knocked down with one blow. Dai Mubai's fist was stopped by a colorless and invisible force when it was still nearly 20 centimeters away from Xuanming.

"What kind of ability is this?" Dai Mubai was shocked. He had never seen such a bizarre defensive method before. He felt as if his punch had hit cotton, or as if he had sunk into a bottomless swamp. All his power was quietly dissolved by that colorless and invisible force, and he could not advance any further.

"And then?" Xuanming looked at Dai Mubai, his gaze as calm and unwavering as ever.

"Don't be so arrogant!" Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and roared. His soul power surged, and three soul rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, rose from his feet. His martial soul was attached to his body, and his muscles instantly swelled, his strength skyrocketed, and he threw another punch, trying to forcefully break through that invisible barrier.

However, the colorless wall remained as stable as Mount Tai, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not budge it in the slightest.

“Boring.” Xuanming gently raised his hand and tapped his fingertip. An even more powerful force surged out from the colorless wall, directly causing Dai Mubai to stagger backward and almost fall to the ground.

Dai Mubai steadied himself, his face grim. He hadn't expected to be at a disadvantage in a single exchange.

His twin sisters beside him were also filled with surprise and worry. They had never seen Dai Mubai so disheveled when fighting someone.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!" Dai Mubai shouted, spitting out a blazing white light wave that swept towards Xuanming.

The light waves contained powerful soul energy, and wherever they passed, the air was scorched and distorted.

Xuanming looked at the incoming beam of light with a calm expression. He raised his hand again, and the colorless wall instantly became even thicker, steadily blocking the White Tiger's fierce light wave.

The light waves struck the colorless wall, emitting a dazzling light, but eventually dissipated into nothingness.

"How is this possible!" Dai Mubai's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

His second soul skill was powerful, and even soul masters of the same level would not dare to take it head-on. However, the opponent easily blocked it with just a colorless wall!
There were no spirit rings, which means the opponent didn't even use any spirit skills!

“Dai Mubai, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 37 Battle Soul Venerable.” Dai Mubai vaguely guessed the other party’s identity, but was not sure, so he revealed his Martial Soul and level, hoping to get an answer from the other party.

Xuanming remained silent, his soul power surging, and four soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and purple-yellow—slowly rose and hovered beneath him.

"This... how is this possible?" Dai Mubai stared at the ratio of yellow, purple, and black soul rings, his pupils suddenly contracting, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock, his body trembling slightly from the shock.

The twin sisters standing to the side also stared wide-eyed, their mouths slightly open, their faces filled with astonishment.

Although they were not Soul Masters and did not have a deep understanding of Soul Ring ratios, they knew that the significance of these four Soul Rings was extraordinary and that ordinary Soul Masters could not possess them.

The knowledgeable hotel manager was now deathly pale, deeply regretting his decision.

He didn't want to provoke Dai Mubai, much less provoke such a monster!
