The other side.
After leaving the Great Fighting Soul Arena, Zhu Zhuqing did not walk towards Arou's courtyard, but walked aimlessly in Soto City.
She knew that her decision today was very irresponsible to the team, but she really couldn't accept it.
Seeing Dai Mubai's fighting spirit being aroused by Xuan Ming, she was actually quite happy at first. At least this guy did not completely sink into despair and give up.
But, adulterer and adulteress!
She didn't expect Dai Mubai to say such a thing!
She took such a huge risk, chasing him all the way from Xingluo to Shrek, hoping to work with him, but the result was such misunderstanding and insult...
"Little sister, it's so late, why are you coming to such a remote place alone?" A sudden voice interrupted Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts. The voice was magnetic and deep, but with a hint of ill intention.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly came back to her senses and saw a tall middle-aged man with a face that looked particularly strange because of a pair of ridiculously small eyes standing not far away. Next to him was a thin and wretched man with greed and malice in his eyes.
"Get out!" Zhu Zhuqing shouted in disgust.
"Hmm?" The tall man frowned, his already ugly face looking even more distorted by anger.
"Little sister, you are so rude."
"Tonight, uncle will teach you what good manners are!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the spirit rings on the two of them vibrated simultaneously, releasing powerful spirit power fluctuations. They were obviously two spirit masters at the Soul Sect level.
Zhu Zhuqing's face suddenly changed. She was about to leave, but the thin man moved like lightning and blocked her retreat in an instant.
Almost at the same time, Zhu Zhuqing completed the spirit possession, and two yellow spirit rings rose from under her feet, emitting a faint light.
Feeling the strong fluctuation of Zhu Zhuqing's soul power, both of them changed their expressions.
At this age and with this level of cultivation, could he be the heir of some great sect?
For a moment, both of them felt a little regretful, but when they thought about the possibility of being retaliated by the other party, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in their eyes.
Just dispose of it after playing with it and you won't have any trouble!
"You really shouldn't be walking around alone at night."
At this moment, a cold voice came from not far away, like the cold wind in winter, which made Zhu Zhuqing's eyes red. It was a familiar and reassuring voice.
"Kid, don't meddle in other people's business!" The tall man threatened coldly, his tone full of threats.
"No!" The thin man's face suddenly changed, and his yellow eyes suddenly showed some red, as if he remembered something terrible. "If I'm not happy, then I'm..."
The cold white light suddenly exploded, the deep black soul ring flashed slightly, and blood light burst out, cutting through the night sky like the scythe of the god of death.
Zhu Zhuqing felt her eyes go dark, and when she came to her senses again, the two wretched figures had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a faint smell of blood and a biting cold.
Xuan Ming retracted the blood spear, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
"...Yeah." Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently, a warm feeling surged in her heart, as if all the haze had disappeared at this moment.
…
After the soul battle ended, Xuan Ming rested in Soto City for two days. As expected, Qin Ming invited Shrek, hoping that they could join Tiandou Royal Academy.
Three Soul Saints and two Soul Emperors are a powerful force for any high-level soul master academy.
Although Flanders was somewhat reluctant, he finally agreed after being persuaded by Yu Xiaogang.
"So, we're classmates from now on?"
At lunch time, Xuan Ming and his group had a meal at the Soto Hotel as usual, except that there were a few more people.
After listening to Ning Rongrong's information about Shrek, Dugu Yan's expression became a little tense.
She had originally thought that the three girls were in Soto City and Shrek after all, and they would be returning to Tiandou City next, so they would meet less often in the future.
But, Shrek is actually going to be merged into Tiandou Royal Academy?
Then won't we see each other every day from now on?
"Isn't your teacher... too careless?" Dugu Yan asked.
"I think this is a very serious matter. You should consider it carefully!"
"That's something the dean should consider." Ning Rongrong shrugged.
"I don't mind."
The atmosphere in Shrek now seems like it's about to fall apart at any moment.
If it weren't for the fact that her two friends, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, were here, and if it weren't for the hidden weapons in Tang San's hands, which were of great value to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she would have run away long ago if she hadn't wanted to establish further cooperation with Tang San and preferably win people over to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
At first, she just wanted to go out for a walk and relax. Joining Shrek was just a whim. If Xuan Ming and the others had not left Tiandou City at that time, she would have gone to Tiandou Royal Academy.
"When do you plan to move?" Xuan Ming looked at Arou.
"Would you like to come with me?"
"I..." Arou subconsciously looked at Xiao Wu.
"Aunt Rou, we are all adults now, there is no need for you to keep watching over us." Ning Rongrong said.
"Yes, Mom, you go first, we will follow slowly." Xiao Wu said.
"Okay." Arou nodded.
"I'll go over and settle them down first. Xiao Wu, don't make any trouble while I'm away. Be good and listen to the teacher."
"I understand." Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue.
"Then let's pack up and set off tomorrow." Xuan Ming said.
After hiding for more than a month, Qian Renxue should have almost figured out the situation in Wuhun City. From now on, she probably won't bother him anymore.
…
Shrek Academy.
"Xiao Gang, do you have any other purpose?"
Under Ma Hongjun's guidance, Flanders felt much better and found Yu Xiaogang and asked him about his doubts.
Last night, Qin Ming's invitation to him was just a joke. The kid knew very well what Shrek meant to him. He said that just to express how much he valued these younger students. After all, they were all on the minds of the teachers at Tiandou Royal Academy.
However, Yu Xiaogang actually took over the conversation afterwards. Qin Ming did not expect this, and neither did he.
Yu Xiaogang was actually the mastermind behind Shrek joining the Tiandou Royal Academy.
If it were before, he would not doubt what Yu Xiaogang said last night. However, during this period, because of Xuan Ming, not only did Shrek's teaching have problems again and again, but the little ancestor Ning Rongrong would find an opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.
The key point was that what she said was reasonable and well-founded. Although he had Ning Fengzhi's letter, she only asked him to help correct Ning Rongrong's arrogant temper. As for the things she did to Yu Xiaogang, he really couldn't get a word in.
"Flanders, do you think Xuan Ming's strength is normal?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
Flanders was stunned. "Normal?"
"According to Qin Ming, both of his martial souls have serious mutation defects, and one is even more dangerous than the other. In this case, not only has his cultivation speed not slowed down, he is even far ahead of his peers, and his strength is beyond the standard. Don't you have any doubts?" Yu Xiaogang said.
"This..." Flanders was a little confused.
"What can be doubted?"
"His Blood Spear Martial Soul must have an unknown way of cultivation!" Yu Xiaogang confirmed.
"Haven't you always wanted to solve Ma Hongjun's martial arts defect?"
"If I go to Tiandou Royal Academy, I can intervene in Xuan Ming's teaching and training, and naturally I can find out how he did it."
According to Qin Ming, Xuan Ming's beast spirit had a very high risk of getting out of control at the beginning, and even got out of control at the training ground of Tiandou Royal Academy. His blood spear spirit was even more dangerous, and would even devour and plunder his own soul power and blood!
Under such circumstances, Xuan Ming's cultivation speed should be far behind his peers, but not only is he not behind, he is even far ahead of them, and he also has that terrifying soul ring ratio. This is definitely a problem!
