I really am a Titled Douluo

Inside the academy!

Evil Moon, who won the duel, wiped a minor wound on his cheek, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Flame, it seems I'm still stronger than you!"

Upon hearing this, Flame was obviously a bit frustrated, "Evil Moon, don't get too smug. I was just distracted this time; otherwise, how could you possibly have won!"

"If we go again, I will definitely win overwhelmingly!"

Evil Moon showed a doubtful expression in his eyes, "Alright then, let's fight again. But do you dare?"

Flame shivered all over, "I... I'm not in a good state right now. Let's do it later. Then you'll lose convincingly!"

He's no fool; just from the recent duel, he realized the opponent had figured out his fighting style. Even if they fought again, he'd most likely still lose!

Rather than that, he might as well endure for a while!

Evil Moon mercilessly exposed his lie, "Heh, no matter how many times we fight again, the result will be the same."

Flame pouted, "You... I can't be bothered with you!"

Then, he moved next to Hulena, complaining, "Nana, tell Evil Moon to stop being so cocky just because he won once!"

Hulena was a bit speechless and couldn't help but remind him, "Flame, you've sparred with my brother dozens of times, and you've lost more than half of them..."

"If you don't change your fighting style, it seems like you can't win against my brother no matter what you do."

Evil Moon nodded in agreement...

Flame looked a bit aggrieved, "I do want to, but Xu Sheng went to the Worship Hall and hasn't returned yet. Who can help me?"

Evil Moon covered his forehead, "Just because Xu Sheng isn't here, you can't rely on yourself?"

This guy, since when did he become so lazy!

Even though Xu Sheng's guidance helped before, cultivation is a personal matter!

If Xu Sheng leaves the Martial Soul Hall in the future, will he stop cultivating?

Flame crossed his arms, "I'm too lazy to, with such a strong boost from Xu Sheng, why rely on myself? Who knows when that would be achieved?"

At this moment, their conversation was interrupted by a familiar voice...

"What are you all talking about, so lively, can you tell me?"

It was Xu Sheng, who had just arrived at the Pope Hall!

Everyone suddenly came to their senses, glanced toward the source of the voice, and all showed a look of delight...

Hulena spoke first, "Xu Sheng, welcome back!"

Evil Moon waved to indicate, "Xu Sheng, you're finally back. I didn't expect you'd be gone for so long this time!"

"Flame was just saying that without you here, he couldn't improve his fighting style. Now, there should be no excuse!"

Xu Sheng looked at Flame in surprise, "Oh? Is that so?"

Flame immediately moved closer, patting him on the shoulder, "It's just that I think you have rich experience, Xu Sheng. Besides, Evil Moon has figured out my fighting style. Although I'm not weaker than him, I always lose badly. I'm not reconciled!"

"You're back just in time. You must help me later and beat that guy hard!"

But before Xu Sheng could respond, Hulena unceremoniously interrupted, "Alright, Xu Sheng just got back. Let's talk about cultivation later!"

Then, she looked at Xu Sheng again, full of curiosity, "Xu Sheng, tell us what you've been doing during these days at the Worship Hall?"

"After all, since we joined the Martial Soul Hall, the three of us have almost never left the Pope Hall and don't know much about the outside world!"

Being away for so long, something must have happened at the Worship Hall!

Xu Sheng shook his head, "Actually, not much. Just went to talk with the Grand Elder and guided the guest elders in their cultivation."

Flame took a deep breath, incredulous, "Wow, guiding the guest elders in cultivation? I thought you being able to teach us was impressive enough, Xu Sheng, but even those guest elders..."

Evil Moon rolled his eyes, "Flame, why are you so surprised? You and I both know Xu Sheng's experience in cultivation. Some things, even those guest elders probably have never heard of!"

Hulena, however, changed her expression, lowered her head, "Xu Sheng, being able to guide the guest elders is indeed impressive, but... I'm a bit worried."

Seeing this, Xu Sheng immediately understood what she meant, "Nana, you're worried that this might lead to conflict between me and Your Holiness, the Pope?"

Hulena nodded, affirming, "That's right. The teacher and that Grand Elder don't get along, and the Worship Hall and Pope Hall are at odds. By teaching the guest elders cultivation, you undoubtedly strengthen their overall power!"

"This could impact the Pope Hall, and the teacher might be displeased."

Evil Moon and Flame exchanged glances, clearly thinking there was some truth to this...

"Rest assured, my relationship with Your Holiness isn't as fragile as you imagine,"

Xu Sheng smiled, reaching out to ruffle her hair, "Besides, I'm merely imparting some cultivation experience. Even if the Pope Hall and Worship Hall are at odds, for the overall sake of the Martial Soul Hall, they wouldn't act rashly!"

This gesture suddenly startled her, making her quickly take two steps back...

Then, seemingly afraid Xu Sheng might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "It's just... Xu Sheng, could you stop patting my head in the future? Everyone's around, it's a bit embarrassing."

Although she quite enjoyed the feeling, as the Martial Soul Hall's goddess, she still needed to maintain her image!

Xu Sheng was a bit taken aback but quickly composed himself, "Sorry, I was out of line!"

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "By the way, here are some things I brought back from the Worship Hall for you all."

After speaking, he produced a box...

This immediately aroused everyone's curiosity...

"Xu Sheng, what's inside??"

Xu Sheng opened it, revealing the bones inside, glimmering with light...

"These are three soul bones. I have no use for them now, so I'm giving them to you."

"Although they aren't the topmost soul bones, I'm sure they will still provide a significant boost for you."

They were given by Qian Dao Liu, but since they didn't match with him, he hadn't absorbed them!

Flame was dumbfounded, "What?? Soul bones? Who gives soul bones as gifts like they're regular gifts?"

Xu Sheng looked confused, "Flame, are you saying you're not satisfied with this gift?"

Flame shook his head vehemently like a rattle drum, "Of course not, it's too extravagant! Even a Titled Douluo may not have a single soul bone, yet here you are giving us one each!!"

Evil Moon hesitated for a moment before making a decision, "Xu Sheng, we appreciate your kindness, but giving away soul bones is too extravagant. You should keep them."

Hulena naturally shared the same thought, agreeing, "Yeah, Xu Sheng, while we're very grateful for the incredibly precious soul bones, precisely because they're so precious, we should probably decline."

"Besides, at our current power level, we wouldn't be able to absorb them."
