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

Chapter 230 If only there were another girl
……

"Second Uncle, is what you said... true?" Yu Tianheng was also somewhat doubtful.

“Although Xuanming is now an enemy of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I have known him for many years. He cannot be the Fallen One you are talking about.”

"Tianheng, have you forgotten that Xuanming has been participating in the life-or-death soul battles in the Great Soul Arena?" Yu Xiaogang said.

“But that’s a matter of life and death, and it depends on one’s own abilities,” Yu Tianheng quickly replied.

"Since he didn't harm any innocent people, how could he..."

"This is only what you see at the moment, and it's just the surface you're witnessing," Yu Xiaogang said.

"How often is he out of your sight, and how do you know what he's doing in secret?"

"Moreover, this kind of cultivation method often leads one deeper and deeper into it, and the demands become increasingly terrifying. Even if he can barely control himself now and not reveal any flaws, what about the future?"

"Once he grows to the level of Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, or even Title Douluo, who will be able to stop him then?"

"What I'm worried about isn't just the present, but more so the future."

……

"What? Xiao Wu left too?"

In the evening, after discussing things with Tang San and Yu Tianheng all afternoon, Yu Xiaogang returned to the teachers' dormitory area and was led to the dean's office by Qin Ming.

Both Liu Erlong and Flander were present, the former's face showing undisguised fatigue and weariness.

“Xiao Gang, I’m telling you… why are you so stubborn? You… sigh.” Flander shook his head and sighed helplessly.

First Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, and now Xiao Wu has also been taken away.

Xiao Wu and her mother had a special relationship with Xuan Ming. Although it was Ning Rongrong arguing with Yu Xiaogang before, Xiao Wu firmly stood by Ning Rongrong and supported Xuan Ming.

Because of this incident, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing left. Xiao Wu did not leave with the two of them because of Liu Erlong and Tang San. What happened next?
Xiao Wu was also pushed to the limit, so she went to Liu Erlong and said that she really couldn't stay alone any longer.

But what could Liu Erlong say in this situation? Should he advise her to stay and continue to suffer?
“My concerns are not unfounded. Xiao Wu and the others are still young and don’t understand. Don’t you understand that?” Yu Xiaogang said with a solemn expression.

"Fine, do whatever you want." Liu Erlong sighed and slowly stood up.

"Boss, I'm tired."

After saying that, Liu Erlong walked out of the dean's office with heavy steps.

She knew that Yu Xiaogang was stubborn, but in the past she always felt that Yu Xiaogang's stubbornness was because he firmly believed that he was doing the right thing, or at least what he thought was the right thing.

However, after a year, she realized that Yu Xiaogang was just desperately trying to protect his fragile self-esteem.

Previously, she had always thought that Ning Rongrong and the other girls' attitude towards Yu Xiaogang was due to his conflict with Xuanming, but over the past year, she felt that something was increasingly wrong.

Even setting aside Xuanming, Ning Rongrong and the others could still find other things to criticize Yu Xiaogang about, and they were all undeniable facts.

When Xuanming returned that day, she was secretly watching when Zhu Zhuqing attacked Yu Xiaogang and Dai Mubai, and she also heard what Zhu Zhuqing said.

She really hoped that Yu Xiaogang could refute her as confidently as before, at least then she could pretend to be stupid and fool herself.

However, Yu Xiaogang lost to Zhu Zhuqing, a child who had never liked to talk, in his strongest area of ​​debating.

At that moment, her feelings were a hundred times heavier than they were twenty years ago when Yu Luomian forcibly interrupted their wedding and Yu Xiaogang heartlessly abandoned her and ran away alone!
She has held on to a joke for so many years!
I've become a laughingstock myself!
……

"You ran away too?"

Arou's little courtyard.

"I can't take it." Xiao Wu leaned against A Rou's chest, her eyes still a little red.

"Now that you two are gone, even the mistress isn't on my side anymore."

"If you can't stand it, then don't. Don't be angry," Ning Rongrong said, sitting to the side comforting Xiao Wu.

She could naturally tell that Xiao Wu had actually wanted to go with the two of them, but thinking of Liu Erlong, who had always been very kind to her, and Tang San, her childhood friend, Xiao Wu was reluctant to leave.

But Yu Xiaogang actually brought up such a sensitive topic, and even Tang San sided with Yu Xiaogang, so Xiao Wu could no longer hold back her grievances.

"So, are you still going to participate in the Soul Master Competition?" Xuanming asked.

Should I add you in?

"Of course I want to!" Ning Rongrong glared at Xuan Ming and gently patted Xiao Wu's back.

"We'll compete together, win the championship, and slap them in the face!"

"Then I'll go and tell His Highness the Crown Prince later." Xuanming lay down.

"But, will I hold you back?" Xiao Wu asked timidly.

She didn't go with them before because she was aware of her current lack of strength.

Apart from Xuanming, everyone here is basically level 40 or above, while she is only level 37.

"No, just have fun. If any problems arise, I'll take care of them," Xuanming said casually with his eyes closed.

"Winning or losing isn't something you should be thinking about. Just treat it as a game, having fun is the most important thing." "That's true, but it would be nice if there was another girl on the team," Ning Rongrong said inexplicably.

"Why?" Xiao Wu asked, her face full of confusion.

"Since Yu Tianheng withdrew, and Xuanming had to lead a large group of people, His Highness the Crown Prince found it troublesome and simply distributed all the spots, giving him a whole team's worth of spots. He can bring whoever he wants, as long as he wins the championship," Ning Rongrong explained.

"Except for Xuanming, there are only five of us, plus Yanzi and Lingling. We are still one person short."

"Is there no one left at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?" Xiao Wu was even more puzzled.

Ning Rongrong looked strange. "There are some, but His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't allow women in, and men... I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to come in."

Everything was fine before, but now there's only one spot left. Which man would dare to come in?

……

The night is falling and the sky is dotted with stars.

With the competition approaching, and after confirming that Xiao Wu would also join the team, Dugu Yan began to fulfill her duties as vice captain, leading everyone to training camp.

After all, it's a team battle. Although the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's Poison is powerful, it's ultimately too dangerous. The competition also prohibits killing or injuring opponents. Dugu Yan will definitely be somewhat restrained and unable to perform at her full potential. Therefore, teamwork is still very important.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Xuanming. He's just a backup plan and he doesn't know how to cooperate. The only people who can cooperate with him are Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, who stand behind him to heal and buff him.

"Ok?"

Xuanming, who was concentrating on controlling and fusing with the Dark Demon God Thunder, suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at the spatial vortex that had suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

The spatial vortex emitted a deep darkness and rapidly expanded, forming a stable spatial gate.

Amidst Xuanming's puzzled gaze, Ditian stepped out, followed closely by Biji and the others. However, at the very end, there was an unfamiliar figure.

She had long, silver-white hair almost identical to Xuanming's, simply draped down her back, with slightly pale, fair skin, purple eyes, and a simple white dress. Her beauty was beyond words.

Di Tian glanced at Bi Ji, who then looked at the silver-haired girl standing at the back with a slightly bewildered look in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward.

"Um...we happened to meet this child while we were out sightseeing outside the city, she..."

Under Xuanming's strange gaze, Biji's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"Ahem!" Di Tian coughed twice and stepped forward.

"That, this child..."

Faced with Xuanming's rather speechless gaze, Di Tian was immediately at a loss for words, unable to open his mouth or come up with a suitable reason!

Di Tian turned around somewhat guiltily and gave Bi Ji a look, signaling her to continue.

Brigitte's eyes twitched slightly as she looked at Murasaki.

Zi Ji was speechless. She was about to look at Xiong Jun, but found that Xiong Jun had already raised his head high and was pretending not to see anything.

"I'm so glad you didn't utter those lame nonsense." Xuanming raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Otherwise, I'd really start to wonder if I'm some kind of fool in your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the others had no choice but to turn their gazes to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The three-eyed golden lion looked completely bewildered.

Just because you can't make it up, does that mean I can?
With everyone's expectations in mind, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion took a deep breath and pounced on Xuan Ming.

"us……"

"When you were out playing outside the city, you unexpectedly encountered this little girl, and then you discovered that she had amnesia? So you brought her back, wanting me to help her?" Xuanming interrupted the three-eyed golden lion, saying the nonsense that Biji had wanted to say but hadn't finished.

"Yes, that's right!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded.

"You're so smart! You figured it out right away!"

Xuanming's eye twitched slightly. "Sister Bing, why don't you try to fool me with a few words?"

With such a unique dragon aura, and surrounded by so many ferocious beasts, even attracting Di Tian's attention from the Lake of Life, who else could this be?
"This is fate!" the Ice Dragon King said seriously.

"Don't you happen to be short one team member? I think this girl would be perfect!"

Xuanming hesitated, then sighed upon meeting the expectant gazes of Biji and the others, "What cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired girl spoke softly, her voice ethereal and melodious: "Gu Yuena, sixteen years old, a level sixty-three offensive Soul Emperor, with the Martial Soul Silver Dragon Spear."

Xuanming covered his face, inexplicably wanting to laugh. "He has amnesia, yet he can still introduce himself. His age and cultivation level are exactly the same as mine. What a coincidence."

The Ice Dragon King was somewhat embarrassed, but he remained strong and composed, saying, "This is fate!"

"Hmm, fate." Xuanming felt a stomachache.

It was already lively enough, and now this bombshell has dropped. No wonder Qian Renxue is going to explode...
