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

Chapter 85 I have some research on martial spirits
……

After the fight, although Xiao Wu was beaten up quite badly, she was no longer as tense and depressed as before.

Xuanming was careful in his actions; Xiaowu only looked bad, but wasn't actually injured.

In the days that followed, Xiao Wu became attached to Xuan Ming, following him to cultivate from dawn till dusk every day.

For Xiao Wu, Xuan Ming was ultimately the one who wanted her dead, so fighting him from time to time was a form of revenge for her.

Spiritual victory method.

Although Xiao Wu is basically the one who gets beaten up.

Xuanming was also trying to make up for his lack of close combat skills. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy did not have practical combat courses. Only formal students above level 20 would be given a small number of practical combat courses.

After all, there are many uncontrollable factors in actual combat. If someone doesn't know their own strength, they might have to rest for ten days or half a month. It's not an exaggeration to say that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. If the recovery is not complete, it will leave hidden injuries. You may not feel anything now, but you'll suffer for it later.

Soul Masters above level 20 have already developed strong physical abilities and recovery capabilities. Even if an accident occurs, the academy has the ability to cover for them, and they recover quickly.

boom!
"Are you OK?"

Seeing Xuanming being smashed away by her own force, Xiaowu ran over somewhat guiltily.

"It's nothing." Xuanming dusted himself off and stood up.

Xiao Wu's soft skills compensate for her lack of strength, and combined with the rabbit's explosive power, it would be quite dangerous for an ordinary person to be kicked by it. However, its body is stronger than most beast soul masters, and Xiao Wu's strength is not enough to hurt it.

"Why didn't you use more force just now?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

Although her soft skills could allow her to use an opponent's force against them to some extent, Xuanming's strength was far greater than hers. She had used this move before, and Xuanming had managed to grab her by brute force.

But just now, Xuanming didn't use any force at all, letting her throw him away.

“I’ve been beating you up for so long, it’s time to let you win this time,” Xuanming said.

No one at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would fight him. Even if he went on stage, he could only touch the opponent once, and the opponent would immediately admit defeat.

But it wasn't because they couldn't beat him, but because they were afraid of him, afraid of the Crown Prince behind him, and afraid of the Poison Douluo behind him.

Those who can't beat him dare not fight him, and those who can beat him dare even less.

During this period, Xiao Wu was basically his sparring partner. No matter how many times he was beaten up, he would never be absent the next day. He was so dedicated that he deserved credit for his hard work, even if he didn't achieve anything.

"What's wrong?" Xuanming looked at Xiaowu, whose face had turned pale, with a puzzled expression.

"You...you said the sacrifice was still a long way off?" Xiao Wu asked nervously.

"How could it be now...?"

"Did I say you had to make a sacrifice now?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"What you just said, wasn't it just like a dying wish?" Xiao Wu said, feeling wronged.

It's time to let her win this time; this doesn't sound like a good thing at all!

“What I mean is, I’m leaving,” Xuanming said.

"Leave?" Xiao Wu was taken aback.

"where to?"

"There's something I need to discuss in Tiandou City," Xuanming said.

During his time in Tiandou City over the past few years, Qian Renxue helped him a lot with his cultivation, and the Serpent Spear Douluo also personally taught him a little from time to time.

He had promised Qian Renxue that he would act as a tool for the Crown Prince and would not leave until the matter of the Heaven Dou Empire was over.

Having been away for so long, it's time to go back after obtaining the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone.

A few months ago, Xue Qinghe told him that she needed his help with something in a while, and if he didn't go back soon, Qian Renxue would definitely nag him.

...Back in Nottingham City, today is the first day of school at Nottingham Academy.

Out of curiosity, wanting to meet the legendary master and see Tang San, Xuanming accompanied Arou and Xiaowu to report for duty.

At first, he did want to bring Arou and Xiaowu back to Tiandou City together, but considering certain issues, and also the fact that he would be taking their lives in the future, doing too much would make him seem pretentious.

Ultimately, we're going to take someone's life anyway, so we can't restrict their freedom any further.

Moreover, he sensed that the mother and daughter didn't want to see him, so he helped resolve Arou and Xiaowu's identity issues at the Spirit Branch Hall, and he also took the time to help arrange their accommodations in Notting City.

"You...you're not a student at Notting College, are you?"

Arou took Xiaowu to the academic affairs office to register, while Xuanming sat by the academy's playground, resting against a big tree.

Suddenly, a man of medium build, slightly thin, led a dark-skinned, skinny boy who looked to be about six years old over.

Xuanming opened his eyes, glanced at it, then closed them again. "No."

"Are you a Soul Master?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were a little strange, and his voice even trembled slightly, with a kind of inexplicable excitement.

"What's wrong?" Xuanming opened his eyes.

"Can I see your martial spirit?" Yu Xiaogang asked excitedly.

“No,” Xuanming said.

"I meant no harm, I just sensed a strange aura emanating from you," Yu Xiaogang quickly said.

"If I'm not mistaken, your martial soul is a mutated dragon-type martial soul, right?"

Xuanming frowned slightly. "Who are you?"

"I am Yu Xiaogang, a resident of Notting Academy." Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"I have some knowledge of martial spirits. Can I take a look at your martial spirit?"

"Sorry, it's not convenient." Xuanming closed his eyes.

Yu Xiaogang wanted to say something more, but seeing Xuanming's attitude, his pride wouldn't allow him to be subservient any longer. After a pause, he turned around and pulled Tang San away.

"Teacher, how did you know he has a Dragon Martial Soul or a mutated Martial Soul?" Tang San asked.

“There is a bloodline suppression between beast spirits of the same kind, which is especially obvious in dragon spirits,” Yu Xiaogang said.

"I also have a dragon-type martial soul, so I can sense a strange aura emanating from him."

"As for mutated martial souls, this involves the bloodline of the corresponding soul beast. If it is a normal soul beast, the bloodline aura is stable, but a mutated martial soul is like a mutated soul beast, the bloodline aura is restless."

"That person's martial spirit exudes a very strong and ferocious aura. It should be a benign mutation, but it is likely to have some kind of defect."

"Flaw? Why?" Tang San asked curiously.

“I once investigated 150 Soul Masters with mutated Martial Souls, including those with Beast Martial Souls and Weapon Martial Souls. Their Martial Souls all had some flaws to varying degrees, and those flaws were related to the strength of the Martial Soul mutation to some extent,” Yu Xiaogang said.

"Most of the time, the greater the difference between the quality of a martial soul and its pre-mutation state, the more troublesome the corresponding defects become. However, most defects of beast martial souls are not really defects. Strictly speaking, they are more like their bodies being unable to withstand that unstable power."

"Because those defects don't have any direct impact on soul beasts; the defects are relative to human soul masters."

"Furthermore, just as a vicious weapon can harm both the user and the attacker, so too can a vicious martial spirit."

"Let alone mutated martial souls, even the martial souls corresponding to those ferocious soul beasts often have some dangerous flaws for human soul masters."

"The most common problem is the loss of control of the Beast Martial Soul. Because the Martial Soul is too powerful, the Soul Master's body and mind cannot bear that power. If the Martial Soul energy goes wrong, it will go out of control."

"However, if the loss of control can be resolved, this defect can also be a special ability."
