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

Chapter 89 Unreasonable
……

The impact of the second ring of the millennium seemed a bit too great, so much so that even before the fight started, the students below the stage were already speculating about the outcome, with many believing that Yu Tianheng was bound to lose.

How do you fight between a hundred-year-old soul skill and a thousand-year-old soul skill?
On the battle stage, Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He knew the power of the thousand-year soul ring, but how could he, with his pride and arrogance, easily admit defeat?

"Hmph, so what if you have a thousand-year soul ring? Battle isn't just about soul rings!" Yu Tianheng shouted, launching the first attack. His figure was like lightning as he rushed towards Xuan Ming. Lightning gathered on his right hand, and his dragon claw resembled a lightning blade, slashing down fiercely at Xuan Ming.

Xuanming remained calm, flicking his blood spear, the tip of which gleamed with crimson light as he met the dragon's claw.

With a clang, the blood spear collided with the dragon claw, sending sparks flying.

Xuanming felt a powerful electric current travel along the blood spear, and his arm went slightly numb, but that was all. He circulated his soul power and shook it off with a forceful jolt.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Yu Tianheng flashed around to Xuan Ming's back and kicked out with his left foot, creating a gust of wind as he aimed for Xuan Ming's waist.

Xuanming reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack with a sidestep, while simultaneously sweeping his blood spear back towards Yu Tianheng's back.

Sensing the danger behind him, Yu Tianheng quickly lunged forward, narrowly avoiding the attack.

At this moment, Xuanming's first soul ring lit up, and black lightning erupted.

Yu Tianheng sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the blood spear, and his expression became extremely solemn. He quickly unleashed his first soul skill, "Thunder Dragon Claw," with lightning flashing across his hands, transforming them into two enormous dragon claws that crashed towards the blood spear.

With a deafening roar, the Blood Spear and the Thunder Dragon Claw collided, unleashing a burst of lightning and sending powerful energy waves spreading outwards.

The ground on the fighting platform was so shaken that cracks appeared in the air, and the students below instinctively stepped back, afraid of being affected.

Under the impact of the blood spear, cracks gradually appeared in the Thunder Dragon Claw, and it finally shattered with a "bang".

The blood spear, its momentum undiminished, continued to stab towards Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng was greatly alarmed and quickly unleashed his second soul skill, "Thunderous Might," which caused bolts of lightning to erupt from his body, weaving into a massive lightning net in the air and enveloping Xuanming.

The blood spear collided with the lightning net, but Xuanming remained expressionless. His soul power surged within him, and the black lightning that had been extinguished erupted once more.

The second thunderstorm collided with Yu Tianheng's thunderous power, and the two forces canceled each other out.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng was stunned.

His first soul skill destroyed his second soul skill?!

Yu Tianheng felt a chill in his heart; he hadn't expected Xuanming's attack to be so powerful.

Just as the blood spear was about to pierce him, his body suddenly shifted to the side, the spear grazing his shoulder and leaving a long gash in his clothes.

Seeing that his attack had missed, Xuanming flicked his wrist, and the blood spear drew an arc in the air, stabbing towards Yu Tianheng again.

Yu Tianheng was already struggling to keep up, constantly dodging the attacks of the blood spears, looking quite disheveled.

After all, he was a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master. The lightning attack attached to Xuanming's Blood Spear did not do much damage to Yu Tianheng. Even the paralysis effect that would cause others had no real effect on Yu Tianheng.

However, the Blood Spear's own devouring ability also attached itself to the exploding lightning, tearing at Yu Tianheng.

Lightning can be resisted, but this devouring attack cannot.

"enough!"

Just as Xuanming was about to launch another attack, Meng Shenji, who was in the distance, suddenly spoke up to stop him.

He flashed and appeared on the Soul Battle Stage, standing between the two.

"This exchange of skills ends here."

Upon hearing this, Xuanming and Yu Tianheng both stopped what they were doing.

Yu Tianheng, panting heavily, looked at Xuan Ming with mixed feelings. "I lost. You are very strong."

His first soul skill alone has already pushed him to this point. If he were to use his thousand-year soul skill, wouldn't he be instantly killed?

"However, why don't you use your second soul skill?" Yu Tianheng asked.

“You may die,” Xuanming said.

Yu Tianheng frowned. "Even if my thousand-year soul skill is powerful, you're still underestimating me too much, aren't you?" Xuan Ming didn't say anything more. His purple soul ring flashed, and lightning wings formed. He released his hand, and the blood spear instantly shot out towards the stone wall on the side of the training ground.

boom! ! !
After the collision, a huge crater was carved into the hard stone wall, and the faces of the students present became extremely stiff.

Yu Tianheng, in particular, turned deathly pale.

If that soul skill had been used at close range on him...

"You flatter me." Xuanming sheathed his blood spear, said nothing more, and turned to walk off the Soul Battle Platform.

“Your Highness, it seems you’ve been giving him a lot of extra help,” Zhilin said.

Xuanming's combat experience just now is not something an untrained child could have; it is clearly the result of long-term practical training.

His offensive methods were swift and decisive; the person who taught him was a master of the spear.

"It's also because he proved himself capable," Xue Qinghe said.

Xuanming wouldn't listen to any long-winded explanations; the only thing he could communicate with properly was about cultivation.

Naturally, he had no choice but to let Serpent Spear Douluo take action himself.

Having a titled Douluo personally coach you is a privilege few people on the entire continent possess.

……

As evening fell, Xue Qinghe brought Xuanming to the Crown Prince's residence.

After placing Xuanming in the backyard, Xue Qinghe left, and a short while later, Qian Renxue appeared.

"Since you were going on a long trip, why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Qian Renxue asked.

"You made me worry for nothing these past few months."

"Are you afraid I'll run away?" Xuanming said.

"Shouldn't I have this worry?" Qian Renxue said.

“Since you don’t believe me, there’s nothing more to say,” Xuanming said.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath. "You ran away without a word for several months, and now that you're back, if I ask you a few questions, it's like I'm the one in the wrong?"

“When you helped me before, I already said that I would fulfill my duties as a tool,” Xuanming said.

"But you clearly think I'm all grown up now and want to fly on my own."

"Since you think I'm the kind of two-faced person, why bother talking nonsense with me?"

“You’re the one who can’t bear to part with my talent, and my attitude has never changed. It’s clearly you who’s been forcing me all along. Just because I don’t act according to your wishes, I’m being accused of being ungrateful.”

“I said I would do what I promised, but you obviously don’t believe me.”

"You don't trust me at all, yet you think I should be devoted to you?"

"You always say I'm ungrateful, but aren't you the most unreasonable one?"

His attitude has been clear from the beginning and has never changed; it is quite straightforward.

Qian Renxue had some inexplicable expectations, and when she actually did it and found that she didn't get the effect she wanted, she blamed him.

Was his explanation unclear?

"You'd better stay this tough forever!" Qian Renxue said coldly.

"You called me here just to spout this nonsense?" Xuanming asked.

"If that's the case, I have other things to do."

He hasn't absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone yet, because it takes a long time to fuse after absorption, at least three days of seclusion. He didn't have that opportunity on the road, so he'll have to jump into the pool to absorb it after returning to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before he can feel at ease.
