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

Chapter 37 I Wasn't Sold

……

"Is the news accurate?"

"I investigated it all myself, there can be no mistake."

"So tragic..."

Looking at the information about Xuanming that the ghost had collected in her hand, Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

No wonder he was so indifferent to a six-year-old child.

Before she was even born, her father was conscripted into the army and never returned.

When he was five, his mother died, and his home was taken over by others.

He awakened his martial spirit at the age of six, only to be sold off by the patrolling deacon the very next day.

He later escaped from human traffickers, met Dugu Bo, and then suffered misfortune.

Upon arriving in Tiandou City, they encountered Barak's brain-dead prince and nearly lost their lives.

After only a few days of peace, Yue Guan kidnapped him from Sunset Forest in the middle of the night...

This bumpy and tortuous life story would be considered a tragedy even in a traditional storybook.

"To verify its authenticity, I followed that mountain path and indeed found two Soul Master corpses near the edge of a forest," Ghost said.

"Although the bodies had been decomposed for a long time, one of them still clearly showed a fatal wound in the chest, which was caused by a spear or similar weapon. The force was so great that it shattered the bones."

"What that kid said should all be true."

Bibi Dong sighed and placed the information that Gui Mei had gathered on the table. "What about that patrolling deacon in Aolai City?"

“I’ve brought him back; he’s already been locked up in the Hall of Punishments,” the ghost said.

"Should I send the person over there?"

Bibi Dong thought for a moment, "Let's keep them locked up for now. Sending them over now won't do any good."

Having gone through all that, suspicion had taken root in that child's heart and could not be changed.

Even if the patrol officer were given to Xuanming, his vigilance would not lessen in the slightest; on the contrary, it would only intensify.

We need to think of another way...

"Let's send that child to the Spirit Academy first, and then we'll talk about it after he's calmed down a bit," Bibi Dong said.

The child has just been forcibly brought back from Tiandou City by Yue Guan, and his guard is at its peak. Getting close to him at this time will only backfire.

The more anxious you are about being wary, the harder it is to overcome; you can only take it slowly.

"By the way, how is Nana doing?" Bibi Dong asked.

"I just acquired my second spirit ring a while ago," Ghost said.

“The second spirit ring…” Bibi Dong thought for a moment.

"Let Nana and the other two take care of him, so that no one can bully him."

"Bully?" Ghostly seemed to want to say something but then stopped himself.

According to Yue Guan, that kid's first soul ring was eight hundred years old, and its power was comparable to a thousand-year soul skill!

Add to that his shameless domain, and even a few Great Soul Masters wouldn't have the ability to bully him, right?
“Do you think there won’t be few people in the Martial Soul Academy who will cause him trouble, given his unique appearance?” Bibi Dong said.

"Have Nana keep an eye on him, and make sure he doesn't become too wary."

Xuanming, with his peculiar appearance, will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble once he enters the academy. Among the students in the Martial Soul Academy are even some descendants of titled Douluo elders. Only Hu Liena, the Pope's disciple, can keep those troubles in check.

……

"So miserable?"

Hearing the ghost explain Xuanming's background, Yue Guan couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

"You're just as good as me."

The ghost's fate was also quite tragic. He died once when he was young, but by chance, his soul was able to re-enter a body, thus awakening his martial spirit.

This also gave him an extremely special martial soul situation, namely, a ghost. In a sense, the ghost's soul is his martial soul, while he himself is a living dead.

“I wasn’t sold,” Ghost said speechlessly. “Then no one will buy you either,” Yue Guan joked.

Even without that peculiar martial soul mutation, Xuanming's appearance was still top-notch, and many people liked this kind of child.

But what kind of bizarre fetish would someone have to have to want to buy a living dead?

"Alright, the Pope ordered me to send him to the Martial Soul Academy." Ghost was too busy to waste time with Yue Guan's idle chatter.

"I'll go, you'll just scare people if you keep acting like this," Yue Guan said.

"Also, the Pope has instructed Nana and the others to take care of this kid," Ghost said.

"Nana?" Yue Guan raised an eyebrow.

"I'm afraid it's a bit risky."

"What's a bit risky?" Ghost asked, puzzled.

"A honey trap," Yue Guan said.

"You didn't see how cold that kid was, colder than you, you living dead!"

"Nana probably doesn't have the ability to win him over."

Ghost looked at Yue Guan speechlessly, "The Pope sent him to the Martial Soul Academy to interact with his peers in order to stabilize his emotions and lower his guard. What are you thinking?"

Using a honey trap? How old is a child to be using a honey trap?
……

Wuhun Academy.

Yue Guan brought Xuan Ming over directly and found Hu Liena, who was in class, and explained the situation to her.

"So tragic?" Hu Liena looked at Xuan Ming, who was standing in the shade of a tree not far away, with some pity.

"Take good care of him, and don't let anyone in the academy bully him," Yue Guan said.

Hu Liena nodded. "I understand."

Are there any other things we should be aware of?

Yue Guan thought for a moment, "Nothing for now... No, there's one thing you need to be careful about, don't touch those two dragons on his back."

"What's wrong?" Hu Liena asked, puzzled.

"Be careful not to get bitten," Yue Guan said.

"Huh?" Hu Liena looked bewildered.

"Those two dragons on his back aren't very bright, and they're not entirely under his control. Don't try to touch them just because they're new and exciting, or you'll get bitten," Yue Guan said.

Hu Liena looked puzzled. "How did you know? Could it be...?"

"Ahem! This is his Soul Master certificate." Yue Guan coughed heavily twice and handed the documents to Hu Liena.

"I'll leave the enrollment to you. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, Yue Guan leaped into the air and flew away.

Goodbye, Grandpa Ju.

Hu Liena waved goodbye to Yue Guan and walked towards Xuan Ming under the shade of the tree.

"Hello, I'm Hu Liena. You can call me Sister Nana. I'll take care of you from now on."

"Hmm," Xuanming responded without saying anything more.

Having just learned about the situation, Hu Liena didn't mind the coldness and pulled Xuanming up, saying, "I'll take you to complete the enrollment procedures first, and then I'll take you to the dormitory."

Xuanming followed silently behind.

He tried many times in the past few days, activating the White Light Domain and using the Blood Spear at the same time. As a result, the stinging pain became more and more obvious, especially when he activated his soul skill while the domain was covering him. He could already sense that his soul power was slightly clashing. In fact, the more powerful Blood Spear Martial Soul had begun to devour his Black Dragon Martial Soul through that part of its entanglement.

In other words, most of what Bibi Dong said was true.

Moreover, due to the mutation of his Black Dragon Martial Soul, which caused a change in his body, he could almost say that he lived and died with his Black Dragon Martial Soul!

If he had cultivated the Black Dragon Martial Soul first, it would have been fine. At worst, he could have let the Blood Spear Martial Soul be devoured and only cultivated one Martial Soul.

But now, if this problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, when the Blood Spear Martial Soul becomes stronger and stronger enough to devour the Black Dragon Martial Soul, it will be his death day.

Blood Spear will devour him and the Black Dragon Martial Soul together!
