Tiandou Royal Academy.

"Yanzi, where is Xuan Ming?"

Xue Qinghe, who had just finished his official business and was about to take Xuan Ming to hunt for the second soul ring, found Dugu Yan.

Yesterday morning, Meng Shenji from the Education Committee told him the news that Xuan Ming had broken through to level 20, and that a teacher would be arranged to take Xuan Ming to find a suitable spirit ring. After receiving the news, he specially handed over all matters for the next period of time, and prepared to take Xuan Ming to hunt for spirit rings himself.

As a result, after he arrived at the academy early in the morning, he couldn't find anyone after searching for a long time!

"He went to hunt for spirit rings." Dugu Yan said.

Xue Qinghe was stunned.

"When? Who took him there?"

"Just yesterday, my grandpa came back. After understanding the situation, I took him to Sunset Forest. He left yesterday at noon." Dugu Yan said.

"Originally, I wanted to go, but Grandpa said that hunting for a thousand-year spirit ring is too dangerous, and we don't know how long it will take, so he didn't let me go."

"Poison Douluo..." Xue Qinghe's expression looked a little unnatural.

After coming to Tiandou City for more than a year, the relationship between him and Xuan Ming has not made any progress. It is not known whether it is because he learned a lesson in Wuhun City or because he is wary of him.

Whenever he brings up topics like politics, Xuan Ming just listens and no longer speaks directly like before. When asked what he thinks, he simply says he doesn't understand and doesn't know, and either pretends to be stupid or deaf.

Only when talking about cultivation would Xuan Ming speak nicely and be considered humble and eager to learn.

He originally wanted to use Qian Renxue's identity to make a fuss about hunting spirit rings, but in the end...

"What's wrong?" Dugu Yan asked puzzledly.

"Nothing." Xue Qinghe sighed.

"I was originally planning to take him there myself, but now that Poison Douluo is here to help, I feel relieved."

"I see. I thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was hit hard." Dugu Yan said.

"After all, an eight-year-old Great Spirit Master still seems a little unbelievable to me."

"It's indeed unbelievable." Xue Qinghe looked a little unnatural.

Since the first soul ring is an extreme soul ring, it brings about a huge improvement after absorption, which he can understand.

However, within less than two years, his soul power increased by seven levels, which was truly incredible.

Logically speaking, Xuan Ming's cultivation speed would inevitably decline due to the dangerous devouring properties of the Blood Spear. It would already be quite an effort for him to be able to improve two levels every year.

However, that guy had two thoughts. Ever since he entered Tiandou Royal Academy, he had been sleepless most of the time!

According to Snake Spear Douluo, Xuan Ming seemed to have concealed his psychological fatigue by separating and controlling his two thoughts!

It's not that Xuan Ming doesn't get tired, but he forgets that he is tired! This method of blocking the memory of two thoughts to a certain extent is essentially fiddling with one's own mind.

Even the Titled Douluo dare not do this, because if you are not careful, it is very likely to cause memory confusion, mental disorder, or even become a fool! Even if the Pope taught Xuan Ming how to control his two thoughts, he was playing with his life with that little mental power...

…

Sunset forest.

After an unknown amount of time, Xuan Ming opened his eyes again. This time, he was no longer in the forest where he absorbed the soul ring, but was lying in a tree house.

After successfully absorbing the soul ring of the Shocking Winged Thunder Python, he woke up once, but Dugu Bo suddenly knocked him unconscious again.

"Come out when you wake up."

Dugu Bo's voice sounded outside the house.

Xuan Ming sat up and found that his clothes no longer fit him. It was obvious that this soul ring had a great impact on his body.

"Is there something wrong?" Xuan Ming walked out and saw Dugu Bo sitting cross-legged on a big rock with his back to him.

"You are so smart, why don't you guess it yourself." Dugu Bo said without turning his head.

Xuan Ming paused, "You want to kill me."

"Why?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Although Sunset Forest is dangerous, with you here, it won't matter even if Dugu Yan and the others follow us." Xuan Ming said.

"So, you intentionally didn't let them come with you."

"You are a person who is afraid of trouble. If you are unlucky, it may take me ten days or half a month to find a soul beast. You definitely don't have the patience for that."

"So, you must have some hidden purpose."

"You are quite perceptive, but aren't you afraid?" Dugu Bo said.

"This is out in the wilderness. If I get carried away, maybe you'll end up like this."

"Don't think of using the Spirit Hall to threaten me. You should know very well that the kind of hostage-taking you have created is only useful when the conflict is minor and there is hope of easing it. If it involves a fight to the death, then it will be meaningless."

"Do we need to fight to the death?" Xuan Ming asked.

"I didn't think it was necessary before, but now." Dugu Bo paused.

"Do you remember what I told you when you first encountered the Chrysanthemum and Ghost?"

"I thought you would let go of that thing soon after you spent so much time with Yanyan, but almost two years have passed and I found out..."

Dugu Bo turned around, and his green eyes met Xuan Ming's gaze.

"You don't seem to have changed at all."

distance!

We have known each other for almost two years. Although we are not together day and night, we are friends who see each other quite often.

But he could see that Xuan Ming never let go of that distance, whether it was towards Dugu Yan or Ye Lingling!

Dugu Yan and the others had frequent contact with Xuan Ming and mistakenly thought that this was a character problem of Xuan Ming and they were used to it, but he could see it.

This kid is really like the first time I saw him!

Xuan Ming's expression remained unchanged.

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm thinking about a question." Dugu Bo said.

"You used me to flatter them because you had a grudge against them."

"Then you and I are the same, aren't we?"

"You are very smart. You put yourself in the middle and transferred the conflicts in yourself to the people behind you."

"When I look at you, I need to be wary of them. When they look at you, they also need to be wary of me."

"It seems like it has both sides, but in fact, it has nothing to do with either..."

"Are you worried that I still remember the grudge and will take revenge on you in the future?" Xuan Ming said.

"No?" Dugu Bo asked back.

It has been almost two years, and the two children are not only very close to Xuan Ming, but they also trust him quite a lot.

However, this boy has no intention of getting close to them!

"I said no, do you believe me?" Xuan Ming asked.

"I don't believe it." Dugu Bo said.

"Then why are you still asking?" Xuan Ming asked.

"Because I can't figure it out." Dugu Bo said.

"Are Yanyan and the others treating you badly?"

Xuan Ming took a deep breath and said, "Since you are worried about my revenge in the future, why don't you take action?"

"If you had put even a little thought into it when I was absorbing the spirit ring, I would have been dead without a burial place."

"Because I overestimated my own abilities and absorbed a super-age spirit ring, which led to my body exploding and dying, that was my own fault. It has nothing to do with you."

"Just like you said, it is impossible for the Spirit Hall to completely break off relations with a walking natural disaster like you just for a dead person like me."

"In fact, as long as you are willing to put aside your pride and forget the past, I believe that the Spirit Hall will definitely not refuse your joining."

"After all, to the Spirit Hall, your value is definitely far greater than mine."

Dugu Bo looked at Xuan Ming, "It is precisely because of these things that I cannot understand you. You clearly know everything, so why don't you even pretend?"

"As long as you pretend to be close to Yanyan, I won't think too much about it."

"Because I didn't expect that you, an old man, would play with poison for too long and poison your brain." Xuan Ming said.

Dugu Bo's expression froze, "What do you mean?"

"Didn't we already agree to settle our grudges?" Xuan Ming said.

"Why are you still here, bringing up old issues?"

"Because you are a dark person yourself, you judge others by your own standards and think I am the same?"

"A bitch can't see any strong women?"

Dugu Bo's face darkened, "Don't be so harsh with your words, kid!"

"Isn't it you who did it that looked ugly?" Xuan Ming said.

"Then why after all this time, you don't have any intention of getting closer to me?" Dugu Bo asked.

Xuan Ming took a deep breath, "What does it mean to be close?"

"Pull and tug, cuddle and hug?"

"Do you know how exhausted my two brains are from practicing non-stop? I meditate even when I eat and sleep, and I dare not delay for a moment. I also try my best to absorb spirit rings, just to improve as soon as possible."

"Why do you think I work so hard?"

"I can't even hold on to my own life, and you ask me why I don't get close to Duguyan and the others?"

"I really...are you fucking sick?"

"…"
