Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

"You little rascal, you still have some trump cards up your sleeve, don't you?"

Zi Ling squatted in front of Xu Tianming, her purple eyes gleaming with a watery, curious light.

She really did have that feeling.

When she first encountered a Soul Master with such an extreme attribute Martial Soul as Xu Tianming, her curiosity was almost uncontrollable.

Xu Tianming looked at Zi Ling, who was staring at him excitedly, and his lips twitched slightly.

Why did he feel that the teacher's eyes were strange?

"So, teacher, are you trying to find out what I'm holding?"

Zi Ling shook her head and said, "I'm not so foolish as to pry into such private matters as trump cards, but there is something I care about very much. That is..."

She leaned forward slightly, her expression serious, and said, "If you go all out, can you beat me?"

She had this feeling while she was being treated.

She saw a hint of confidence in Xu Tianming's eyes—the confidence that he could defeat her!

If it were someone else, she might have thought it was arrogance.

But Xu Tianming felt that it might actually be true!

"There's a 70% chance."

Xu Tianming stood up, brushing the dust off his clothes as he answered.

This is considered rather modest, because if he really did use Light Burst, it would be almost 100% possible!

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling's pupils immediately contracted.

Seventy percent!

"Alright, teacher, class should be over for today, right? We'll be going now."

Xu Tianming waved goodbye to Zi Ling and then walked out of Shrek Academy with Bei Bei.

The academy's cafeteria is certainly nutritious, but it can't compare to the variety of food available in Shrek City.

What's more, this cafeteria doesn't even have tables and chairs; you have to stand and eat with your food bowl in hand.

Well... eating in the cafeteria is fine if you're too lazy to go out or don't have enough time, but it's basically impossible to choose the cafeteria for gatherings or similar events.

As noon approached, the streets of Shrek City were bustling with traffic, and many students in their freshman uniforms came here to eat.

Obviously, not everyone can understand the strange environment of a cafeteria without tables and chairs.

When it comes to dining, unless there are special circumstances, comfort is the most important thing.

Neither Beibei nor Xu Tianming were short of money, but as students, they wouldn't spend money recklessly. They simply found a decent restaurant and started having lunch.

In terms of taste, it's not much different from what you get in the cafeteria, but being able to sit down with tables and chairs makes it a much better experience.

However, during the meal, Xu Tianming could clearly sense that Bei Bei was somewhat absent-minded.

Or rather, Bei Bei was already in this situation when she was battling her homeroom teacher, Zi Ling; otherwise, with Bei Bei's strength, she wouldn't have been eliminated so quickly.

Xu Tianming did not ask any questions.

He doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, as it easily distracts him from his precious time.

He himself had his cultivation slowed down for a period of time due to some reasons in the past few years, otherwise he wouldn't have seized every spare moment to cultivate.

After finishing the meal, Beibei barely ate any food, but she took the initiative to pay the bill first.

This time, Xu Tianming didn't stop him. After all, they had known each other for several days, and he could treat them next time.

After finishing his meal, Xu Tianming, having no classes in the afternoon, decided to go back and continue his cultivation.

But Beibei stopped him, saying she had something she wanted to talk to him about.

So the two returned to Shrek Academy and walked along Poseidon Lake.

Xu Tianming glanced at Beibei, who seemed to want to say something but couldn't quite get it out, and was somewhat speechless.

"What exactly are you trying to say? If you don't tell me, I'm going back to my cultivation!"

Beibei glanced at Xu Tianming, hesitated for a moment, then walked to the grassy area beside her. Looking at the shimmering waters of Poseidon Lake, she whispered, "Xu Tianming, do you...do you like Tang Ya?"

When he said this, his body was visibly tense, and he even looked at Xu Tianming with a nervous expression, wanting to get an answer from him.

However, Xu Tianming looked completely bewildered when he heard Beibei say this.

"what?"

"Who?"

"You like Tang Ya?"

"Me?"

Beibei was also puzzled when she saw Xu Tianming's expression.

"Don't you like Tang Ya? But during the self-introduction this morning, I saw you kept looking at Tang Ya."

From the moment he entered the classroom that morning—or rather, from the moment he had met Tang Ya briefly at the academy a few days earlier—he had a very peculiar feeling towards her.

This morning, when I saw Tang Ya again in class, that feeling became even clearer.

He had an instinctive urge to get closer to this classmate.

I had never felt this way before; I only ever felt this way when I saw Tang Ya.

He felt that he might be starting to feel romantic feelings.

For most of the morning, his gaze was fixed on Tang Ya.

While Tang Ya was introducing herself, he noticed that Xu Tianming's gaze was fixed on Tang Ya, and there was a light in his eyes!

He wasn't the kind of person who would do things in secret; even after discovering this situation, he chose to confront Xu Tianming directly.

"I..."

Xu Tianming was somewhat speechless.

He was looking at Tang Ya... thinking about how to use Tang Ya to turn the Tang Clan into his own power!

I was just lost in thought and didn't look away, I didn't expect to be misunderstood.

But he couldn't tell Beibei the reason.

so...

"When I heard her surname and martial spirit, I thought of Tang San, the ancestor of the original Shrek Seven Devils."

Xu Tianming's mind worked very quickly; he directly fabricated a reason based on his identity.

"Our ancestor Tang San?"

Beibei's attention was immediately drawn.

Xu Tianming nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Tang San's ancestor. That Tang Ya's surname is Tang, and her martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. I kept thinking at the time, could this girl be related to Tang San's ancestor?"

This reason is actually quite far-fetched, after all, there are many Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters on Douluo Continent, and there are also many people with the surname Tang.

"Is that so? Then, you don't have those kinds of feelings for Tang Ya?"

Xu Tianming was speechless: "Why would I have that? Besides, didn't you tell me this morning to read more, meditate more, date less, and fight more? I advise you to focus on cultivation, don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly frowned and abruptly turned to look at the Sea God Lake in front of him.

Suddenly, a streak of fire hurtled across the surface of Lake Poseidon and sped toward the shore.

Wherever it passed, a large amount of steam instantly rose from the lake surface, enveloping the flames and obscuring what was happening inside.

"Holy shit!"

Xu Tianming's pupils contracted.

"Run!"

Although he couldn't see what was happening inside the steam, Xu Tianming already knew who it was!

It's Ma Xiaotao!
