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

Chapter 142 Invincible Golden Body
……

Bypassing the bustling brothel area, Xuanming walked towards a dark alley.

The alleyway was filled with a damp, musty smell, and the walls were covered with moss.

Xiao Wu was being followed furtively by a middle-aged man in his forties.

The middle-aged man had a lewd look in his eyes and a malicious smile on his face.

Sensing Xuanming's presence, Xiaowu instinctively turned around, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Xuanming? How come you..."

The cold white light suddenly exploded outwards. Bu Le, who had just reached out with a lewd expression, was enveloped by this sudden pressure of death. His mind went blank instantly, and he froze on the spot.

"Does your mother know that you're out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Xuanming asked.

"Um...I..." Xiaowu lowered her head guiltily, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to cover this up.

Xuanming glanced at the lewd-looking Bule and said, "You have rather heavy tastes."

Xiao Wu's expression froze for a moment. "It's not what you think!"

Not wanting to be misunderstood, Xiao Wu quickly explained to Xuan Ming why she was there.

During this time, Bu Le finally recovered from the pressure of death, but his legs were still too weak to stand, and his face was full of terror.

"So, he's going to attack you?" Xuanming said.

"Yes, I was just about to teach him a lesson, but then you..." Xiao Wu grabbed Xuan Ming's hand guiltily, looking at him pitifully.

"Can we not tell Mom?"

Xuanming raised his hand and flicked Xiaowu on the head, making her crouch down with her head in her hands. Then, he threw out the blood spear, and with a flash of blood, it pierced through Bule's chest.

“You…” Bu Le stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with fear and resentment, before he even had a chance to activate his martial soul.

Xuanming frowned, and the devouring power of the Blood Spear suddenly erupted, causing a surge of scarlet blood mist to flow out and invade Bule's body. Without giving him a chance to resist, it devoured his soul power in just a few breaths, and most of his blood energy was also plundered. Bule's body visibly withered.

Crimson lightning surged, and a terrifying explosion spread directly from the inside to Bu Le's entire body, instantly turning him into a bloody mist.

Immediately following, a flash of fire incinerated the blood mist in the air.

Nothing was left.

"..."

The air fell silent. Seeing this smooth and skillful operation, Tang San and his companions, who were hiding in the shadows, were extremely stiff.

It wasn't because they were afraid of witnessing a vibrant life disappear before their eyes, but because they could clearly sense that if it were them, the outcome wouldn't be much different; it would just take a few more breaths!

A murderous intent suddenly arose, and a single blow was fatal!
There wasn't a single moment of delay!
They wouldn't doubt for a second that this person is a professional killer!
"Get some rest. It's the middle of the night. Don't go to places like this. It's not safe."

Xuanming said something and turned to walk away.

Xiao Wu then came to her senses, waved to Tang San and the others in the shadows, and lowered her voice, "I'm sleeping with my mother tonight, Xiao San, you guys go back first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu jogged up to catch up with Xuan Ming.

"Where have you been these past few months? I haven't heard from you at all!" Xiao Wu asked.

“I went back and went into seclusion,” Xuanming said.

"She's in seclusion." Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Xuanming asked.

"I thought you left because of Rongrong and Zhuqing," Xiaowu said.

"What does it have to do with them?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"Because of the fight between you and Dai Mubai," Xiao Wu said.

“Rongrong and Dai Mubai don’t get along, and Zhuqing and Dai Mubai’s relationship is also a bit strained. Every time you are mentioned, they start arguing.”

"Furthermore, since you left without saying a word, Rongrong suspects that you have a falling out with some people in the academy. After all, you said that you were planning to wait for someone here."

"But Dai Mubai and the others said that you went to become a son-in-law of the Dragon and Snake family."

"You know Rongrong's temper; they've started arguing again."

“When Rongrong is arguing, I can’t just stand by and watch. I have to step in and say a few words to help. The mistress is worried that I will do something wrong, so she will also join in as a peacemaker.”

“Every time they argued, Dean Flander had to step in to stop it, and after each argument, the master would increase the training tasks we were given. By last month, even if we argued, we didn’t dare to argue in the academy anymore.”

"You guys are really bored." Xuanming was speechless.

"Isn't it because you left without saying a word?" Xiao Wu complained.

If Xuanming had said something before leaving, it would have been fine, but he just disappeared like that. If she didn't know Xuanming's abilities, she would have suspected that he had been kidnapped and locked up in a dark room by that Dragon and Snake family!

……

Led by Xiao Wu, Xuan Ming arrived at A Rou's residence.

In the past few months, Arou has stopped staying in hotels and instead rented a small courtyard in Soto City. When Xiaowu has time to rest, she will bring her friends over to play.

"Why don't you get a bigger one?" Xuanming asked. "The money I gave you is more than enough to buy a hotel."

“This is enough,” Arou said.

"I usually live alone. It would be difficult to manage and inconvenient if it were too big."

“Alright, whatever you like is fine, no need to save money,” Xuanming said.

"There's no use keeping that money."

Arou nodded. "I know, you're so late. Have you eaten?"

“No,” Xuanming said.

"Then I'll go make it for you now." Arou stood up and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

"No need for anesthesia..."

"It'll be ready soon, just wait a moment."

"……Thanks."

……

For the next few days, Xuanming simply stayed here.

Having just spent three months in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he cannot enter that place again for the next six months. Otherwise, he will suffer the consequences, and he cannot bear the feeling of being in prison.

At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, no one dared to fight him, especially after he obtained the Diamond Soul Badge, making it impossible for him to even fight in the Grand Soul Arena.

Here, Arou can also practice with him.

"Invincible Golden Body!"

"Invincible Golden Body!"

"Invincible Golden Body!"

"..."

"Do you have to be so shameless?"

Watching Arou withstand his attacks with her invincible golden body every time, only to be slammed away by him, Xuanming felt for the first time what it meant to be helplessly disgusted!
"Me, a scoundrel?" Arou looked puzzled.

"Isn't your field even more unscrupulous?"

Her invincible golden body is a one-time skill, and it's a time-limited single-target defense, while Xuanming's domain is a crowd control and area-of-effect attack!

It can also create colorless walls with terrifying defensive capabilities!

How dare you call her a scoundrel?

“I…” Xuanming was speechless for a moment.

"Come again."

Arou didn't hesitate and immediately activated her martial spirit, rushing forward.

She had actually wanted to try it out when Xiao Wu fought Xuan Ming before!

The feeling of personally throwing Xuanming out like this...

"Brother Xuanming!"

The courtyard gate suddenly opened, and Xiao Wu rushed in with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Just then, they saw Xuanming being kicked into the sky by Arou, flying nearly fifty meters away.

Seeing someone approaching, Arou, who was about to teleport to pursue them, stopped, and Xuanming slowly descended from the sky.

The domain has been removed.

Seeing Xuanming looking rather disheveled, Xiaowu and the other two all showed strange expressions.

This was the first time they had ever seen Xuanming like this!
Is this someone being abused?

"What's wrong?" Xuanming's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"Well, Master has arranged the next round of training for us. He said it will be held at the Great Soul Arena. We don't need to stay at the academy anymore, so I came back." Xiao Wu wisely didn't delve into the matter, otherwise she felt her rabbit head would grow a bump again!
"And you two?" Xuanming looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

“We want to stay here with Xiaowu, so we can look after each other,” Ning Rongrong said seriously, linking arms with Zhu Zhuqing.

"There's no room here, you should find somewhere else," Xuanming said.

“There’s enough room.” Arou pointed to the empty room in the courtyard.

"That room is big. I'll tidy it up, and it'll be easy for two people to stay there."

"Xiao Wu and I will share a room, which is just right."

"..."
