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

Chapter 234 The Same Moves
……

At the same time, Xuanming fell from the spatial vortex. He could have landed steadily on the ground, but Gu Yuena, with quick eyes and hands, rushed forward and caught him in her arms.

"Are you OK?"

Xuanming was slightly taken aback. Feeling the faint warmth and familiar aura emanating from Gu Yuena, his expression became somewhat unnatural. "You've held me before?"

Gu Yuena lowered her head, her purple eyes staring directly at Xuan Ming. She gently shook her head, then nodded, her voice soft but tinged with panic: "No...no, right?"

Xuanming remained silent, then asked in his mind, "Sister Bing, you didn't do anything to me, did you?"

During the six months he spent at the Lake of Life, he spent a long period in a coma. He was beaten unconscious by Di Tian, ​​and due to extreme physical and mental exhaustion, he had no consciousness at all.

But his body was not unfamiliar with this feeling.

It's obvious that Gu Yuena has hugged him before, and more than once!
"Brother, are you doubting me?" the Ice Dragon King asked strangely.

"..." Xuanming.

"Don't you deserve my suspicion?"

"I'm sad, I'm not talking to you anymore." The Ice Dragon King fell silent, as if throwing a tantrum.

But Xuanming could sense that the Ice Dragon King was extremely guilty at this moment!

The Ice Dragon King has a temper; he'll make a scene even when he's wrong, and he won't let it go even when he's in the right!

If this woman is really angry, she will definitely explain everything to him, word by word, until he admits his mistake and tries to coax her back!
If someone suddenly goes silent after throwing a tantrum, it's definitely because they're in the wrong and have run away!
"Um...have you hugged enough?"

Ning Rongrong and her group looked at Gu Yuena and Xuan Ming, who hadn't moved for a long time, with strange expressions.

Xuanming snapped out of his daze and looked at Gu Yuena, who was still staring blankly at him. "Put me down."

"Mm." Gu Yuena nodded gently, slowly released her hand, and placed Xuanming on the ground.

"I basically won't be taking action in the later matches. You guys can discuss it yourselves," Xuanming said.

Dugu Yan nodded, "But we are still lacking a main attacker in our lineup."

Although her poison is powerful, its use in this kind of competition is greatly limited. Although Xiao Wu is a power-attack type, her strength is insufficient to deal with a power-attack type soul master like Yu Tianheng who possesses super strength and explosive power.

Xuanming looked at Gu Yuena, "Can you cooperate with them? You don't need to use your full strength, just think of yourself as a Soul Master."

Gu Yuena thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Okay."

"Let's go to the training ground later and practice together," Xuanming said.

"In the following matches, unless there are special circumstances, I will not take action. You guys will play. Since it is a team competition, don't try to be a lone wolf."

At dusk, at the training ground on the back mountain of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The warm glow of the setting sun outlined the training ground with a soft golden edge. The group had just finished an intense team battle simulation. Although they were all a little out of breath, their eyes were still focused on Xuanming and Guyuena, who were fiercely fighting in the center of the field.

Each collision between the Blood Spear and the Silver Dragon Spear unleashed a deafening roar, and the sparks of soul power that flew out were like dazzling fireworks, blooming wildly in the setting sun.

The surrounding air currents were stirred up by this powerful force, forming gusts of wind that made everyone's clothes flutter and their hair fly wildly.

Xuanming's attacks were as fierce as ever, but Gu Yuena remained calm. The silver dragon spear in her hand moved like a nimble silver snake, skillfully deflecting each of Xuanming's attacks.

Her steps were light and graceful, her figure nimble as she weaved through the attacks of the blood spear, as if performing a beautiful dance. The silver dragon spear emitted a soft silver light, contrasting sharply with the dark red glow of the blood spear.

"She...is too fierce, isn't she?" Dugu Yan's expression was extremely interesting.

Originally, it was Xuanming fighting the six of them, but as the fight went on, Xuanming's attacks became more and more brutal, and they couldn't withstand it anymore, so it turned into a one-on-one fight between Xuanming and Gu Yuena.

This was the first time in all these years that she had seen someone her age fight Xuanming to such an extent!

And Xuanming didn't hold back!

"Sister Bing, why do I feel like she knows me so well?"

Xuanming, who appeared to be evenly matched but was actually being subtly suppressed, was somewhat speechless.

Gu Yuena knew all of his attacks and moves perfectly!

It can even make predictions in advance!
Even if the Silver Dragon King had been watching him from the shadows during his time at the Lake of Life, it would have been impossible for him to have this level of understanding!
"Huh? Really? You must be mistaken?" The Ice Dragon King felt a little guilty.

"Are you sure?" Xuanming hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

This is more than just understanding!
Many of his moves are exactly the same!
He even had the illusion that he was fighting against himself!
Just as Xuanming was distracted, the Silver Dragon Spear suddenly transformed into a silver lightning bolt and pierced towards Xuanming's chest.

"careful!"

Xuanming snapped out of his daze and quickly dodged, the silver dragon spear grazing his shoulder and leaving a shallow wound.

Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly. She quickly withdrew her Silver Dragon Spear, approached, and looked at Xuanming anxiously, "Are you alright?"

Xuanming shook his head. "It's nothing." As he spoke, the wound on his shoulder had already disappeared thanks to the powerful regenerative ability of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

"Have you all rested well?" Xuanming asked, looking at Dugu Yan and her group who were in a daze.

"Now that you've rested, let's continue."

Dugu Yan's eye twitched slightly. "With the way you two are fighting, we... can't get involved, can we?"

A clash between two top-tier Soul Emperors!
Are these newbies going to cause trouble by joining in?
Xuanming looked at Gu Yuena and said, "Use the same strategy you used at the beginning. Suppress the Soul Sect members and cooperate with them. During the match, maintain your Soul Sect status and don't reveal your Soul Emperor cultivation level."

This farce is now directed at him. He doesn't know what the Silver Dragon King is planning, but if a genius like Gu Yuena is exposed, it will make things even more complicated.

Gu Yuena nodded. "I understand."

……

While Xuanming and his group were undergoing training to improve their teamwork, all the Soul Master academies had completed the first round of preliminary rounds and were preparing to begin the second round.

"Canghui Academy?"

Upon entering the rest area, Xue Qinghe stepped forward to introduce their opponents for the day.

"Are they strong?"

Listening to Xue Qinghe's earnest instructions, Dugu Yan was somewhat puzzled.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire region, apart from the Five Elements Academy, there seems to be no one who can pose a threat to their team.
“It’s not that it’s strong, but that it’s special,” Xue Qinghe said.

"I've received some information, but it's not certain yet. Be careful."

“Especially you.” Xue Qinghe looked at Xuan Ming.

"Don't mess around."

Xuanming frowned slightly, vaguely guessing what was going on, but didn't say anything more.

The 28 teams were divided into three groups. The Royal Fighting Team took the stage in the first group. As the representative team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, their match was still arranged on the main stage in the center.

On the competition stage, the matches in all five venues began simultaneously upon the referee's announcement.

What viewers love most is the moment when all the Soul Masters release their Martial Souls together at the beginning, the appearance of each Soul Ring, and the different effects produced by different Martial Souls. The dazzling brilliance can fully stir up the audience's emotions.

At Dugu Yan's call, everyone began to release their martial spirits. Xiao Wu was the first to release her spirit, with two yellow and one purple rings. Following closely behind, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling also released four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple.

Finally, five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—slowly rose from Dugu Yan's body. The audience erupted in cheers, especially when the black spirit ring appeared.

"Soul King?" Salas's expression changed slightly.

"How can this be?"

Aside from the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, is there anyone else who can reach the Soul King realm at this stage?
Seeing Salas's somewhat incredulous expression, Emperor Xueye smiled and looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him, "Sect Master Ning, I never expected that your sect's little princess would have already reached the Soul Sect realm. Congratulations!"

He didn't know much about this temporarily reorganized Royal Fighting Team, and the three education committee members didn't know the details either. Xue Qinghe only told him that there would be a surprise, but he didn't expect it to be such a surprise.

With one Soul King, three Soul Masters, one Soul Venerable, and Xuan Ming, whose strength is terrifying and comparable to a Soul Emperor, and that little girl who came from who-knows-where, she's definitely a Soul Venerable at the very least, this lineup should make winning the championship a piece of cake.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "Your Majesty flatters me."

“However, apart from Xuanming, this team is actually all girls, and they are all stunning beauties.” Xueye looked at Ning Fengzhi meaningfully.

Ning Fengzhi felt a little embarrassed and could only respond with a smile.

Seeing this, Xue Ye didn't say anything more, but turned to Xue Qinghe, who was watching the game from the back row, "However, Qinghe, even if Xuanming doesn't intend to make a move, he shouldn't be so reluctant as to not even release his spirit rings, right?"

"Father, we'll probably only see his spirit rings during the finals," Xue Qinghe said.

"The finals? Why?" Xueye asked in confusion.

"I guess you could say it's a case of hiding your strength," Xue Qinghe said.

Xuanming has reached the Soul Emperor level, a fact known almost exclusively to members of this team. Even the three members of the academy's teaching committee were completely unaware of Xuanming's true strength.

Regarding the previous incident at Shrek Academy, most people believed that there was a hidden Title Douluo behind Xuan Ming. Yu Luomian was secretly attacked by that Title Douluo, not that Xuan Ming had that ability.

In most people's minds, Xuanming is at most a Soul Master now, after all, when he left Tiandou City with the Royal Fighting Team two years ago, he had just reached level 40.

Under these circumstances, some people will definitely have their own ideas.

Although Xuanming said he was just trying to relax, he always felt that the guy had other ideas.

After all, if you really want to relax, why assemble a team that consists entirely of pretty young girls except for him?

Moreover, anyone with eyes can see that every single girl in this group is interested in him!
