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

Chapter 246 The Question is About Talent

……

"Too much trouble, I don't want to answer."

Xuanming turned to leave, but Huowu suddenly reached out and grabbed him. Instinctively, the two black dragons behind Xuanming were about to attack the impetuous woman, but they stopped in front of Huowu.

Xuanming frowned, turned to look at Huowu, and said, "Let go."

Huo Wu felt a chill run down her spine as the two black dragons stared at her so close, but stubbornly she still clung tightly to Xuan Ming's sleeve, refusing to let go. "You won't tell me because you're afraid that if I develop a countermeasure, you won't be my match?"

Xuanming was speechless. "Your little tricks of provocation can only fool little kids."

"Isn't that right?" Huo Wu looked stubbornly into Xuan Ming's eyes.

Xuanming was speechless. Why did he feel that he saw the stubbornness of Qian Renxue in this girl?

“Okay, I can explain, but if you get depressed, don’t blame me,” Xuanming said.

Huo Wu then released Xuan Ming, "Speak."

Xuanming glanced at both sides of the corridor, then turned and walked back. "Come in and talk."

Huo Wu paused for a moment, then followed Xuan Ming into the room and closed the door behind her.

Inside the room, the lingering aura of the Dark Demon Thunder had not completely dissipated, and the wave of evil and rage made Huo Wu frown slightly.

"What were you doing just now?" Huo Wu couldn't help but ask.

“Cultivation.” Xuanming walked to the table and sat down, brewing a simple pot of tea following the steps Yuexuan had learned.

Seeing Xuanming's calm and elegant demeanor, Huowu's expression grew increasingly strange. "You don't quite match the rumors."

“You know that’s just a rumor.” Xuanming poured two cups of tea.

"Please take a seat."

Huo Wu hesitated for a moment, but still sat down as instructed, her eyes fixed on Xuan Ming, waiting for his explanation.

Xuanming took a sip of tea and slowly said, "My domain is quite special; it has an all-around suppressive effect, as you should have felt."

"Mm." Huo Wu nodded.

Although she poured all her soul power into Huo Wuyaoyang at the time, Huo Wushuang and the others still felt a strong suppression even though their own soul power was not greatly depleted.

"As for your Fire Dance Radiant Sun..." Xuanming paused, looking at Fire Dance.

"Set it on fire."

Huo Wu was slightly taken aback, then raised her right hand, and an orange-red flame rose from her palm.

Xuanming beckoned, and the flames in Huowu's palm instantly lost control and fell into his hand.

Huo Wu's eyes widened slightly. "This is it! How did you do that?"

That's what it feels like!

That's how her Fire Dance Radiance was stolen!
"To put it simply..." Xuanming frowned slightly, thinking about how to explain this matter in a simple, easy-to-understand way that wouldn't be discouraging.

“My control over the flames is superior to yours, or rather, far superior to yours. Therefore, when your control is insufficient or you are not focused enough, I can directly take away your flames.”

Huo Wu frowned. "You're not a fire-attribute soul master, how could you possibly have better control over flames than me?"

Xuanming sighed softly, a glint of fire flashing in his eyes. The flames in his palm instantly ignited, turning from orange-red to white.

Huo Wu's eyes trembled slightly. She actually felt a power comparable to her own Huo Wu Yao Yang from this small fireball, which was the size of a palm.

Xuanming paused, tapped Huowu's head with his finger, and gave her something, "Do you understand?"

Huo Wu lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Xuan Ming with a complicated expression, "What about the last black aurora?"

“That black aurora is a special ability within my domain; you can understand it as the fusion of darkness and space.” Xuanming paused, raised his left hand, and a small dark void, less than an inch in diameter, took shape as he continued.

“I created a dark void in the domain, which is like a bottomless black hole that can quickly devour the surrounding energy. Your Fiery Dance of the Sun disappeared because it was swallowed by this dark void.”

Huo Wu was dumbfounded; she had never heard of such a miraculous ability. To merge darkness with space and create a dark void that could devour energy was simply beyond her comprehension.

"This... how is this possible? How could darkness and space possibly merge together?" Huo Wu muttered to herself, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Darkness is a rare attribute, and so is space. These high-level rare attributes are extremely powerful, so how could they possibly be fused together?

"Don't ask me why, the answer is talent." Xuanming clenched his fists, and the fireball and the dark void vanished instantly.

Huo Wu remained silent for a moment, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She had always thought she was already quite outstanding among fire-attribute soul masters, but compared to Xuanming, she realized that she was still far behind.

"Then why didn't you just use Fire Dance Radiant Sun to attack me back then?" Fire Dance raised her head and looked at Xuan Ming with confusion.

Xuanming paused, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "Under normal circumstances, I don't have the heart to make a move on pretty girls."

Huo Wu's cheeks flushed instantly. She hadn't expected Xuan Ming to give such an answer, and for a moment she was at a loss for words. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering, as if something in her heart had been gently touched.

"Just...just because of this?" Huo Wu's voice was a little weak, with a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

"Isn't that enough?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"I'm not a pervert, I don't have that kind of weird fetish."

He might act a bit crazy in the Great Soul Arena, but that's because he's in a life-or-death arena, where he naturally can't show any mercy. Under normal circumstances, however, he's quite normal.

Unless absolutely necessary, I rarely use lethal force, let alone deadly force.

After all, he had been at Yuexuan for quite some years, and Tang Yuehua had taught him everything he needed to know. Although he was usually not very polite, that didn't mean he was truly lacking in manners.

Moreover, the reason he gives people the impression of being rude is because most people are rude when they come into contact with him!
"Then what you just put in my head..." Huo Wu hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"It's a gift for you. Don't ask why. I just wanted to," Xuanming said.

Huo Wu remained silent for a moment, picked up the tea on the table, drank it all in one gulp, then stood up. But instead of leaving immediately, she gave Xuan Ming a deep look. "Thank you for telling me all this. Although I still lost, at least I know where I went wrong now. Next time, I won't lose to you so easily."

"Okay, keep it up," Xuanming said.

Huo Wu nodded and turned to walk towards the door.

As she opened the door and was about to step out, she suddenly stopped, turned back to look at Xuanming, and asked, "Xuanming, don't you... think I'm actually pretty good too?"

Xuanming was taken aback for a moment. "Of course, I also said during the competition that your talent and strength are quite good."

"However, you need to change your temper. You're too impulsive. One sentence from me and you almost got burned. Luckily, this was just a competition. If it were a real fight, you would have been finished."

Huo Wu paused slightly, her cheeks flushing a little. "I'll remember. Goodbye."

After saying that, she quickly walked out of the room and gently closed the door.

Xuanming glanced at the tightly closed door, then turned back to continue condensing the Dark Demonic Lightning.

At the same time, after Huo Wu left the room, Huo Wushuang and the members of the Blazing Fire Academy quickly surrounded her.

"Huo Wu, are you alright?" Huo Wushuang asked with concern, looking at the somewhat flustered Huo Wu.

This was the first time his younger sister had ever shown such a flustered expression in all her life!

Could it be that Xuanming is a wolf in sheep's clothing?

"I'm fine, what are you doing here?" Huo Wu asked, puzzled.

"You were so distraught after the match, how could I be at ease with you?" Huo Wushuang said helplessly.

Why is your face so red?

"Red?" Huo Wu was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched her burning cheeks.

"I drank some hot tea, it was a bit too hot."

"What?!" Huo Wushuang's expression changed.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? You don't feel dizzy, and your body might be a little feverish, do you?"

Huo Wu's face darkened. "Brother! What are you thinking?"

Huo Wushuang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "I was just worried about you. Xuanming is such a mysterious guy, who knows if he'll pull some bad tricks."

Huo Wu rolled her eyes at him. "Brother, don't make wild guesses. Xuan Ming didn't do anything to me. He just explained some things about the competition to me."

"Really?" Huo Wushuang was still somewhat skeptical, his gaze sweeping over Huo Wu.

When has he ever seen his own sister like this?

"Really!" Huo Wu stomped her foot, but faced with the doubtful looks from everyone, she snorted, too lazy to explain, and turned to walk away quickly.

However, in everyone's eyes, this seemed somewhat like a hasty retreat.

"Our opponents tomorrow are from Tianshui Academy. Their ice and snow abilities will also greatly interfere with my control of poison mist. What are your thoughts?"

Just as Huo Wushuang was about to go back and ask Xuanming what had just happened, the voices of Dugu Yan and her group came from the other side of the corridor. Almost instinctively, Huo Wushuang took off running, and the members of the Blazing Fire Academy quickly followed.

"Hmm? Who is it?" Dugu Yan frowned.

This is the top floor, and this floor is the exclusive rest area for the Royal Fighting Team. What are other people doing up here?
"Judging from their team uniforms, they seem to be from Blazing Fire Academy," Ye Lingling said.

"What are they doing here?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.

"..."

"Xuan Ming!"

Seemingly realizing something, Dugu Yan and her group burst into speed and rushed towards Xuan Ming's room, with Gu Yuena, who was in the lead, kicking open the door.

boom!
Xuanming, who was concentrating on gathering dark demonic lightning, was disrupted by this sudden intrusion. The already unstable lightning in his hand suddenly exploded, and the evil lightning danced wildly, directly blasting the entire room into chaos.

"..."

An awkward silence seemed to fill the air.

Xuanming looked at the messy room, then slowly turned his head to look at Gu Yuena and her group, who were standing stunned at the door.

Especially Gu Yuena, whose right foot was still dangling in mid-air when she kicked the door.

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"..."
