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

Chapter 120 Self-taught without a teacher

……

In the afternoon, Xuanming led Arou to a small town a hundred kilometers away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Flander had to ensure the students' safety, so he stayed at the back of the group with Yu Xiaogang, unlike Xuanming who flew to the front early.

Judging by Xiao Wu and the others' speed, they should arrive here in the evening. Xuan Ming first found a hotel to eat, while A Rou went out for a stroll.

"what happened?"

A short while later, Ah Rou returned to the hotel, looking rather unhappy.

"I encountered a little trouble, but it's been resolved." Arou's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"Are you getting into trouble?" Xuanming asked.

"Mm." Arou nodded.

"I originally wanted to buy Xiaowu some gifts, but the shop owner... tried to touch her inappropriately."

“I never encountered anything like this back in Nottingham…”

“Notting City is only so big. Even if you don’t reveal your cultivation level, those people know that Xiao Wu is studying at Notting Academy. In such a small place, who would dare to offend the family of a Soul Master?” Xuan Ming said.

"But this is the border, and it's right next to the Star Dou Great Forest. It's no exaggeration to call it a lawless zone. Most of the people who live here are Soul Masters. You know what kind of people Soul Masters are. They bully the weak and it's common to see them everywhere."

"Don't think too highly of the human world. What you think is an isolated case is actually the norm."

"You... have you encountered this problem too?" Arou asked in confusion.

"From what you're saying, it seems like you're quite experienced in getting into trouble like this."

Xuanming looked at Arou and said, "You've been a bit presumptuous."

"Uh..." Arou was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Xuanming didn't seem to want to talk about it, she didn't ask anymore.

“When you’re outside, either be a little fierce, or don’t hide your soul power fluctuations too much. That will save you a lot of trouble,” Xuanming said.

"Otherwise... you look like someone who's easy to bully."

"...Really?" Arou asked, her face full of doubt.

Xuanming sighed, "Xiaowu looks more formidable than you."

Xiao Wu has a spoiled air about her, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that she's not someone to mess with. A Rou, on the other hand, seems to have a very good temper! In fact, she's the kind of person who's easy to bully!

Most people are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They don't hesitate to kick someone when they see someone who is easy to bully, even if they have no connection with them.

There is no such thing as avoiding trouble in this world. The strong can trample on the weak at will, and the weak believe that all of this is justified. The world of Soul Masters is no different from the world of Soul Beasts.

Strength is the truth, power is the law, savagery and violence—this is the most authentic world of Soul Masters.

There is no right or wrong among Soul Masters, only strength and weakness.

……

That evening, Shrek and his friends also arrived in the town, and Xiao Wu immediately ran to find her mother.

Because Arou has always been by her side, Xiaowu's personality has been greatly influenced. She is definitely arrogant, after all, her talent is absolutely top-notch. She hasn't worked hard all these years, yet she has already reached the top among her peers. If she really worked hard to cultivate, her cultivation level would definitely be much higher than it is now.

Despite her arrogance, with Arou's guidance, she wouldn't cause trouble easily. After all, human society is unsafe, and the reason why weak soul beasts like them can cultivate for 100,000 years is because of one word: survival!

Soul beasts with powerful bloodlines always love to fight, and their powerful soul rings make them easy targets for human soul masters, making it difficult for them to grow stronger.

Arou has been in human form for a longer time and has been active on the border of the Star Dou Great Forest. She has learned about humans, so her vigilance has never diminished. In addition, she has to take care of children, which has made her personality more composed. But Xiaowu, who used to have the support of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest, and with Arou taking care of everything, still has the mentality of a child.

"Ning Rongrong is looking for you, why aren't you showing yourself?" Xiao Wu sneaked into Xuanming's room.

"Troublesome." Xuanming sat by the window, looking at the night view.

If he were to intervene, Ning Rongrong would most likely throw a tantrum at him, and might even need him to help her vent her anger.

It’s troublesome just to think about it.

He didn't want to bother with Qian Renxue, who was always causing trouble, and naturally, he wouldn't bother with Ning Rongrong, who was throwing a tantrum. He didn't have the skill to coax people, nor the patience to serve them.

"What about Zhu Zhuqing?" Xiao Wu asked.

"What does she want from me?" Xuanming asked.

"What else could it be? They don't get along with Dai Mubai, that's all." Xiao Wu sat down next to him.

"After you taught him a lesson, the atmosphere between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing became even more tense. That lecherous tiger now seems to be blaming Zhu Zhuqing for his misfortune."

"Speaking of which, do those two know each other? Even if that lecherous tiger is brainless, he wouldn't be so stubborn knowing he's no match for you, would he?"

“Zhu Zhuqing is his fiancée,” Xuanming said.

Xiao Wu looked completely bewildered, "Fiancée?!"

"Then wouldn't you be stealing someone else's love?"

Xuanming turned around and looked at Xiaowu, "Keep your voice down, it's too noisy."

"Oh..." Xiao Wu quickly regained her composure.

"No, isn't this a bit inappropriate? She already has a fiancé, and you're still..."

"Is your butt itchy?" Xuanming frowned.

"Good job!" Xiao Wu's expression turned serious.

"I could tell Dai Mubai didn't seem like a good person at first glance!"

"..." Xuanming.

"Who taught you to change your expression like that?"

"Of course, I'm self-taught!" Xiao Wu felt a little proud for no reason.

Xuanming's eye twitched slightly. "It's not what you think."

"Don't worry, I understand!" Xiao Wu said.

"Zhu Zhuqing is definitely more suitable to be with you!"

Xuanming is cold and aloof, and Zhu Zhuqing is also cold and aloof. Moreover, the two of them have very similar personalities and often speak in the same way!
"You know nothing!" Xuan Ming's face darkened.

Not wanting Xiao Wu to get her thoughts all over the place, Xuan Ming briefly explained the situation between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to her.

"What?!" Xiao Wu jumped up immediately.

"He left that girl alone at home and secretly ran away?"

"Is that lecherous tiger even a man?!"

"Keep your voice down, don't startle me, you're giving me a headache," Xuanming said.

His senses are very sharp, but this sharpness comes at a price. Shouting and making a fuss like this really hurts his brain!

"I'm going back right now to expose his ugly mask!" Xiao Wu turned and left the room with a resentful look, running towards the hotel where Shrek and his group were.

He's capable of abandoning his fiancée and running away on his own, and he still has the nerve to throw a tantrum!
It's as if he's the one who's been wronged!
shameless!
"What's going on?"

Arou, who came up from downstairs and missed Xiaowu, didn't quite understand what was going on.

Who has provoked this girl and made her so angry?
"When you see injustice, speak out; when it's time to act, act." Xuanming leaned back in his chair, looking at the night view outside the window.

The Shrek group's relationship was still just so-so, but now that they know about these things, there's no room for tolerance anymore.

I wonder what Xiao Wu will do to me.

There's no need to worry about safety. After all, if something really happens, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San—at least three of them—would definitely stand by Xiao Wu's side.

With Tang San backed by Haotian Douluo and Ning Rongrong by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Flander knew how to handle the situation.
