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

Chapter 250 I'm Sleeping
……

After leaving the Great Soul Arena, Xuanming returned to the hotel alone to rest.

Blocking the Ice Phoenix was not difficult for him; in fact, if he wanted to, he could shatter it with a single slap.

After all, his control over ice elements was incomparable to that of Shui Bing'er.

However, he first stabilized the Ice Phoenix by infusing it with a large amount of ice energy, and then forcibly took control of it. This operation consumed a great deal of his mental energy.

Because of the dragon bone and the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, his soul power recovers very quickly, but his mental power recovery remains at a normal level.

This was the first time in so many years that he had expended so much mental energy in such a short period of time.

My mind is completely blank; I feel a little out of sorts...

dong dong!

I had barely lain down when there was a knock on the door.

"I'm sleeping."

As he spoke, Xuanming covered his head with a pillow.

"it's me."

Shui Bing'er's cold voice came from outside the door.

Xuanming sighed and got up to open the door.

The door opened, and Shui Bing'er stood there, her face still somewhat pale. She looked up at Xuan Ming, who seemed to have just woken up, opened her mouth, and hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say, "Um, I..."

Xuanming squinted at Shui Bing'er, paused, turned around and went back to the sofa, where he buried his head in the large soft pillow.

"If you need to talk, come in and please close the door."

"???"

Seeing Xuanming's lazy demeanor, which was remarkably similar to that of her younger sister at home, Shui Bing'er was stunned and a little bewildered.

Why are you acting like a child?
Shui Bing'er hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked into the room, closing the door behind her.

"Sit wherever you like." Xuanming kept his head buried in the pillow, while the two black dragons behind him watched Shui Bing'er intently, their gazes following her every step she took.

"Um... I'm sorry to bother you." Shui Bing'er felt a little flustered by his gaze.

"Is something the matter?" Xuanming asked in a muffled voice.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and said softly, "I came to thank you in person."

"Thank you for not being too harsh on us on stage just now."

At that time, her Ice Phoenix had completely gone out of control, but Xuanming was able to forcibly stabilize it and even take away control of the ice and snow. Not to mention that Xuanming did not let them suffer the consequences of their own actions, even without the Ice Phoenix, Xuanming had the strength to severely damage Tianshui Academy.

She acted impulsively today and almost caused this year's Soul Master Competition at Tianshui Academy to come to an end.

"No need to thank me, I just couldn't bring myself to do it." Xuanming finally lifted his head from under the pillow, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Shui Bing'er.

"Besides, you didn't intend to kill me back then, so I naturally had no need to kill you either."

"I don't... really have the heart to do it?" Shui Bing'er was slightly taken aback.

Xuanming looked at Shui Bing'er with a puzzled expression. "Is this so hard to understand?"

Shui Bing'er lowered her head slightly, her expression somewhat unnatural. "But I still don't understand why you chose to inject ice energy to stabilize the Ice Phoenix instead of directly destroying it. Wouldn't that have been easier with your abilities?"

Xuanming sat up straight and stretched. "Directly defeating them would damage the Soul Arena and affect the later matches. Besides, I wanted to test whether my control over ice energy was stable enough. I've never had this opportunity before."

Shui Bing'er raised her head, "Then... how did you seize control of the Ice Phoenix?"

Although the Ice Phoenix at that time was an effect produced by a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it was infused with the power of her Martial Soul's origin! That was practically her Martial Soul itself!

Her martial spirit has been controlled!

This plunged her into unprecedented panic!
Xuanming picked up the teapot on the table and began brewing tea again. "This is related to the characteristics of the martial soul and the perception and control of energy. During the fusion process of your martial soul fusion technique, the flow of energy is not without flaws. I found those tiny gaps, injected a large amount of ice energy, changed the direction of energy flow, and thus seized control."

"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill is ultimately a fusion of two forces, and your fusion degree is not particularly high. If you were to activate the Martial Soul Possession yourself, it would be perfectly fused with your own body, and I would not be able to control it. You don't need to worry."

Shui Bing'er was slightly taken aback, a faint blush rising on her cheeks, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the match, she disregarded her exhausted body and rushed over after only a short recovery, all because of the fact that the Ice Phoenix had been taken over.

If Xuanming can easily seize control of her martial soul, wouldn't that mean he can control her actions? That's terrifying!

"Then... is this ability very difficult to cultivate?" Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask. A strong desire for knowledge welled up in her heart. If she could also master such exquisite control over energy, her strength would definitely reach a higher level.

“Difficulty…” Xuanming paused, “I don’t know. I’ve been practicing for so many years, but I haven’t felt it was too difficult.”

His Black Dragon Martial Soul simply lacked an attached Soul Ring, but his cultivation of power control had never stopped, not only in terms of domain but also in his control over ice and fire abilities.

He learned almost everything the Ice Dragon King taught him, and didn't find anything particularly difficult.

“It’s not difficult at all…” Shui Bing’er’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at Xuan Ming’s nonchalant appearance. She was speechless, but more than that, she felt envy and admiration.

She knew that behind these seemingly casual words lay countless days and nights of diligent training and in-depth exploration of her own martial spirit.

"Can you... teach me?" Shui Bing'er hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask the question.

She knew this request was somewhat abrupt, after all, the two belonged to different teams and were opponents on the field, but her desire to improve her strength made her disregard all that.

“I’m not talking about now, I mean after the competition is over,” Shui Bing’er added.

Xuanming paused slightly, and instead of answering immediately, he poured two cups of tea. "I won't be available after the competition ends."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes, but she quickly cheered up. "I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."

“Now I can teach you.” Xuanming took a sip of tea.

Shui Bing'er was slightly taken aback. "Huh?"

“I can teach you, but you have to do me a favor,” Xuanming said.

Shui Bing'er's heart tightened, and she subconsciously asked, "What kind of help?"

She was a little worried that Xuanming might make some unreasonable demands, but then she thought that Xuanming's performance on the field was upright and honest, and he probably wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her.

"Your next opponent seems to be Shrek Academy?" Xuanming said.

Shui Bing'er nodded. "It's them."

“There’s a guy at Shrek Academy named Tang San. He’s also a control-type Soul Master. Use as much force as you can, and try to make him depressed,” Xuan Ming said.

Shui Bing'er was slightly taken aback. "You have a grudge against him?"

"He made my little rabbit cry." Xuanming finished the tea in his cup.

"I can't do it myself. Not only would it be bullying, but he also wouldn't fight me."

"But if the Tianshui team encounters the Shrek team, it would be perfectly justifiable for them to fight. I hope you will go all out and make him depressed once in terms of his martial soul. Later, when the Blazing Academy encounters Shrek again, Huo Wu can make him depressed again. That should be enough to make him depressed."

Shui Bing'er hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Okay."

Giving your all in a match is a sign of respect for your opponent, as long as you control your strength and don't actually injure them.

"But why are you so determined to make him depressed?" Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that we necessarily want to make him depressed, it's just to force someone out of it," Xuanming said.

The inheritance of a martial soul usually comes from one's parents, but sometimes there are unexpected events. It is neither a mutation of the martial soul nor a bloodline reversion, but the sudden awakening of a powerful martial soul. This situation is not uncommon.

However, twin martial souls are different. They must originate from the parents, and the quality of the martial souls of both parents must be extremely similar, otherwise twin martial souls cannot be formed.

His situation is special. Both of his parents have useless martial souls, but both of his martial souls have mutated, making them mutated twin martial souls.

A normal twin martial soul master is like Bibi Dong, whose two top-tier beast martial souls, Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, came from her parents, both of whom were high-level soul masters, which is why she was able to possess twin top-tier martial souls.

But Yu Xiaogang didn't know that the guy still thought Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul was just ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

In the past, most of the Soul Masters Tang San encountered were commoners whose Martial Souls were of average quality. Therefore, Tang San never had any negative emotions because of his weak Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

However, in the Soul Master Competition, when a low-level martial soul like Blue Silver Grass collides with other high-level or even top-level martial souls, Tang San will inevitably have the idea of ​​giving up due to the absolute difference between the martial souls.

After all, he had better options. The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was the number one weapon Martial Soul in the world, and its quality was extremely high. Otherwise, it would not have been able to compete with a super Martial Soul like the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't persuade Tang San about this matter; Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, would surely reveal himself.

Ah Yin's matter can't be delayed any longer; he needs to resolve it as soon as possible before the competition ends.
