Chapter 118: Heavenly Dou Great Soul Arena.
"Hey, Xiao San, you're finally back."
Xuan Mo stood in front of the other five Shrek members, arms folded across his chest. He looked at Tang San, who was hugging Xiao Wu with his backhand, with a playful expression on his face, and couldn't help but tease.
At this point, about two months had passed since the Shrek members returned from Sunset Forest.
During this time, with the exception of Ning Rongrong, who had returned to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the rest of them had mostly spent their time at the academy.
Xuan Mo, for example, had even been drafted by the Shrek Academy teachers to serve as a soldier, accompanying the students in practical combat classes.
If it weren't for hearing that Tang San had returned, the stingy Flanders probably wouldn't have given him a day or two off.
Meanwhile, as the saying goes, husband and wife follow each other, Ning Rongrong and Xuan Mo's relationship was essentially clear, and even the two parties involved were fully aware of it.
So, as soon as Xuan Mo finished speaking, Ning Rongrong also teased Xiao Wu, who had thrown herself into Tang San's arms and buried her face in his shoulder, and Tang San, whose eyes were moist. "Xiao Wu, Third Brother, you two really don't care about our feelings! How can you be so affectionate in public?"
Xiao Wu blushed immediately upon hearing this. However, judging by her expression, she had no intention of getting off Tang San's lap.
Instead, she retorted to Ning Rongrong, "You're still blaming me? I haven't seen Third Brother and I in days. But you and Brother Mo are so shameless showing off your affection every day."
Ning Rongrong's face flushed bright red upon hearing this. However, Xiao Wu's words were true, and she couldn't refute them.
Xuan Mo saw the other five people watching the show with playful expressions on their faces, and to avoid the quarrel from escalating, he quickly changed the subject.
"Ahem, Xiao San. I heard from the dean and the others that Dugu Bo also came to the academy with you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces finally became serious.
Although Dugu Bo had defeated them in Sunset Forest and even obtained immortal items from his herb garden, this didn't mean that everyone had no grudges against him. After all, while they were grateful for Dugu Bo, their impressions of him were more marked by the scene at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy when Prince Xuexing forced him and the Shrek people away, a scene that seemed to be about to end.
"Yes, Third Brother. Just now, I saw the teacher leading Teacher Zhao, Master, Teacher Erlong, and our three original Shrek teachers out together."
Ma Hongjun walked out from behind Xuan Mo, his eyes constantly drifting towards the Shrek Academy gates, the worry on his face not easily concealed.
"Don't worry, Fatty. Even if Dugu Bo really attacks, the current strength of the dean and his team can still suppress him."
Xuan Mo couldn't help but offer comfort at Ma Hongjun's expression. However, his gaze remained on Tang San.
"Don't worry about that."
Seeing everyone's wary faces, Tang San quickly shook his head and explained, "I invited Old Poison to our academy as a consultant. He holds no ill will towards us. The dean and his colleagues have also agreed. He's already been taken to the VIP room."
"Xiao San (Third Brother), what did you say?!"
With the exception of Xuan Mo, who already knew him, everyone present exclaimed in surprise, their gazes turning strange. For a moment, everyone stared at each other in bewilderment.
After all, Dugu Bo was a dignified Titled Douluo, and his personality was unpredictable and carefree.
Dugu Bo's previous appearance at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was only at the request of Prince Xuexing.
"Xiao San, are you serious? You're not kidding us, are you?" Oscar swallowed, asking suspiciously.
Before Tang San could even utter a word, Xiao Wu leaped off him, hands on her hips, and pointed at Oscar, shouting, "Bitch, Oskar, don't you trust my Third Brother? Do you want Sister Xiao Wu to teach you a lesson?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's actions, Oscar instantly gave in.
Finally, Dai Mubai spoke up and asked, "Xiao San, are you sure Dugu Bo won't take action? You know, Dugu Bo's reputation in the spirit master world isn't exactly good."
"Don't worry about that," Xuan Mo patted Ning Rongrong's slightly worried and uncertain hand, saying, "Although Dugu Bo always acts according to his own preferences, he's a Titled Douluo after all. He needs to maintain his reputation, so he'll definitely do what he promised."
Upon hearing this, everyone finally put their worries to rest.
...
After lunch.
"Well, now that we've welcomed Xiao San back, I'm leaving now."
Xuan Mo lowered his legs from the table, slowly stood up, eating his chicken drumstick, and walked out.
"Hey, Lao Mo. Where are you going?"
Oscar stopped Xuan Mo as soon as he saw him leaving.
"Where else should I go? Of course I'm going to have some fun." Xuan Mo turned around and rolled his eyes at Oscar, saying helplessly, "That stingy dean dragged me into conscripting men. He finally gave me two days, shouldn't I go have some fun?"
"Oh!"
When everyone who was originally sitting at the dining table heard this, the boys immediately let out a cry, their eyes full of teasing.
Even the girls like Xiao Wu blushed. Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, had a calm face.
"Fuck! What are you thinking!"
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Xuan Mo knew they were definitely up to something. In a rage, he flung a chicken bone, striking Oscar squarely on the forehead.
"Hiss!"
"I'm only going to the Tiandou Great Soul Arena. You guys are stirring up trouble, are you looking for a beating?"
He shook his head and walked out.
Even Ma Hongjun, who wanted to follow, was stopped by Xuan Mo, saying he wanted to stretch his muscles and stretch his body alone, and no one should disturb him.
Watching Xuan Mo leave, Xiao Wu leaned over to Ning Rongrong and whispered, "Rongrong, aren't you worried?"
Ning Rongrong simply picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked, "If it were Third Brother, would you?"
Xiao Wu, without even thinking, said, "Of course not."
"That's it."
...
In Tiandou City.
Holding a wine gourd in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, Xuan Mo strolled slowly to the Tiandou Great Soul Arena. Squinting his eyes, he said, "Hmm, after three years, I'm back again."
He sighed as he gazed at the vast and magnificent structure before him. The scale of the Tiandou Great Soul Arena truly couldn't compare to the Soto City Great Soul Arena.
It seemed as if the Soto City Great Soul Arena's scale was indeed slightly inferior to his own.
As expected of the imperial capital of the Tiandou Empire, Xuan Mo muttered as he entered the arena. "What's the background of this Great Soul Arena? The original novel doesn't seem to mention it, but it certainly seems quite impressive."
Then, Xuan Mo squeezed through the bustling crowd and lined up at the registration point for the 1v1 battle area. He pulled out a different golden Soul Badge from the one he had seen at the Soto City Great Soul Arena and handed it to the staff. He casually said, "Excuse me, I'd like to sign up for a 1v1 match."
The staff member, observing Xuan Mo's gesture, took the badge as usual.
However, when he saw the words engraved on the badge, past memories suddenly flooded back. His face changed drastically, and he gasped.
"You are..."
"Taotie!"
