Chapter 210 Move, Zhang Lexuan, why aren't you moving?
Inside the rest area.
Di Ruiqiu stretched comfortably. Although she had previously fused with Huo Yuhao's spirit, most of the energy consumption was borne by Huo Yuhao, so the impact on her was minimal.
She patted Qiu'er's shoulder and leaned a little closer.
He said with a wry smile, in a tone that carried a hint of reminiscence:
"No wonder you like Huo Yuhao so much. So this is what it feels like to use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. I have to say, it's really cool."
"Very...moist?"
Qiu'er's mind went completely blank for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, an unspeakable rage suddenly ignited in her heart.
He slapped away Rachel's hand that was on his shoulder and said angrily.
"Di Ruiqiu, once we get back to the Star Dou Great Forest, I'll make sure you know why flowers are red and why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has three eyes!"
"Oh, don't be so angry. Anyway, you can't fuse your spirit with Huo Yuhao right now. How about next time I let you stay in my body, so you can feel a little involved?"
Di Ruiqiu seemed completely oblivious, instead wrapping her arms around Qiu'er's shoulders even more intimately, still recklessly provoking the other's already incredibly sensitive nerves.
The tuft of hair on its head seemed to sway happily up and down, perhaps because of its owner's joyful mood.
Qiu'er suddenly grabbed Di Ruiqiu's hand, and the terrifying power of the Golden Dragon burst forth in an instant.
But Rachel was no weaker than Qiu'er, and as they struggled, both of their pretty faces turned bright red.
While Qiu'er and Di Ruiqiu were locked in a fierce battle, Zhang Lexuan gracefully moved to Huo Yuhao's side, her beautiful eyes filled with concern.
"Yuhao, are you alright?"
As one of the few who knew part of the truth, Zhang Lexuan naturally knew that most of what had just happened was fake.
How exactly Xuanji Douluo disappeared is probably only known to Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the other person's pale face, it was clear that all of this was not easy for him either.
"Senior Sister, I'm alright."
Huo Yuhao forced a smile, his voice tinged with weariness.
"I probably won't be able to participate in the upcoming matches. But with Rachel and Sister Tao there, I don't think there will be any major problems with the finals."
Compared to her previous life, when Qiu'er secretly slipped out of the Star Dou Great Forest, the sixth soul ring she absorbed was nothing more than a mere 50,000-year-old Blood Red Baboon King.
Now, Di Ruiqiu, relying on her strong physical qualities, the natural bloodline suppression of soul beasts by her martial soul, and with her own personal assistance, is compressing the core essence of the soul spirit.
With all these advantages combined, Di Ruiqiu successfully contracted a 100,000-year-old immortal herb, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, when absorbing his sixth soul ring.
While the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is of a higher grade, it is not enough to cause her Golden Dragon Martial Soul to undergo a second evolution.
However, the abundant earth element essence and the wisp of dragon blood it contains are far more compatible with the golden dragon bloodline than the so-called Crimson Baboon King.
This allows Di Rachel to unleash even greater power in battle.
As for the occasional awkwardness between Qiu'er and Di Ruiqiu, Huo Yuhao wasn't too worried.
Judging from their current situation, Qiu'er is currently using Di Ruiqiu's power.
If the two of them fight, it's just a matter of the left hand hitting the right; at most, they'll just sulk among themselves.
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, her voice filled with unconcealed concern and heartache.
"Even in this situation, why are you still thinking about the competition? Looking at your face, you look like you might collapse at any moment."
"Let me help you back to the hotel to rest first. There are too many people around at the competition venue, and it's not appropriate for you to lie down right there."
"Senior Sister, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback by what he heard, and instinctively wanted to refuse, "Aren't we all still here?"
For some reason, he always had the feeling that being alone with Zhang Lexuan would be dangerous.
Could it be that I'm being too overly sensitive because of what happened to Han Ruoruo before?
But thinking about it carefully, recently, he had only been chatting with Zhang Lexuan sporadically about recent events in the evenings via the communication soul tool.
There was absolutely no overstepping of boundaries in his actions or words; everything was perfectly normal.
"Since you call me Senior Sister, it is my duty to take good care of you, my junior brother."
Without saying a word, Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and helped Huo Yuhao up, her beautiful eyes darkening.
"But tell me yourself, how many times have you tried to be tough in front of me since we met? Every time you've exhausted yourself."
Do I really have to admit out loud that I, as your senior sister, am utterly useless to you?
Zhang Lexuan simply grabbed his arm, and a faint scent of roses instantly filled his nostrils.
Huo Yuhao's body stiffened slightly, speechless at her words, and he could only awkwardly speak.
"Senior Sister, I can still walk by myself now, will this be...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Lexuan's eyebrows shot up, and her voice carried a hint of reproach.
"Hey, why are you always like this? You're wounded now, so act like one."
Don't always think about shouldering everything alone. Do you know how much worry that makes others?
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's genuinely angry expression, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, but ultimately couldn't utter any words of rebuttal.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had finally calmed down, Zhang Lexuan nodded in satisfaction and hugged him even tighter, as if she was afraid that someone else would take him away.
He casually gave a few more instructions to the remaining people, then half-helped, half-pulled Huo Yuhao and walked out of the rest area.
Amidst the brief moment of astonishment, Huo Yuhao felt as if several extremely resentful gazes were fixed intently on him from behind.
One of them was the most melancholic, and also the most fierce.
Without turning around, one could tell that it was Qiu'er's gaze.
Qiu'er was furious, and she knew exactly what had happened.
But being held back by Di Rachel, she could only let out a silent roar in her heart.
This other self is even more despicable than that little girl Wang Dong'er!
Sweeping across Qiu'er's incredibly sharp golden eyes, Di Ruiqiu felt a strange sense of guilt.
But remembering his master's instructions, he still stubbornly said, "Who are you trying to intimidate? Don't think I'm afraid of you. If we really fight, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
"you……"
Qiu'er was so angry at Di Ruiqiu, who was completely clueless about the situation, that she almost fainted.
On the other side, Ma Xiaotao, who had witnessed everything, smiled knowingly and said sarcastically:
"Ling Luochen, it seems that the method Sister Ruoruo taught me before was indeed foolproof. Senior Sister will definitely be included in our future plans this time, so my efforts over the past week have not been in vain."
While Liehuo Xingjiaoshu returned to the Undead Demiplane to chat with other immortal herbs, Ma Xiaotao quickly traveled back and forth to Shrek Academy.
After receiving guidance from Han Ruoruo, a resourceful strategist, she finally devised her meticulously planned scheme.
Judging from the initial results achieved so far, the effects are remarkable.
Zhang Lexuan had clearly been successfully stirred up by herself, and the flame in her heart was just waiting for the right opportunity to ignite completely.
The best news was that, as Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu herself said, there was a way to extract the fire poison from her body.
So after purification and separation, wouldn't I be able to directly obtain a version of the Evil Fire Phoenix version of the Evil Fire Accelerator?
Now, everything is ready except for the final push.
Ling Luochen looked at Ma Xiaotao beside him, who was in a state of inexplicable excitement. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he really didn't know where to start complaining.
Ever since Ma Xiaotao's martial soul successfully transformed into the ultimate fire with Yuhao's help, she always felt that Ma Xiaotao seemed to have become a little abnormal.
Completely different from his original extremely domineering possessiveness, he now seems to have become fond of wearing bright red hats after things have gone to extremes.
Ling Luochen frowned slightly and subconsciously took a few steps to the side, subtly increasing the distance between himself and Ma Xiaotao.
It's best to stay away from this inherently evil woman, lest you catch some strange thing from her.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the city wall of Xingluo Imperial City.
Moon tapped the ground lightly with his wooden cane, making a soft sound.
Upon hearing the sound, Du Busi finally snapped out of his shock and spoke in a deep voice.
"What Huo Yuhao did just now is unbelievable."
His tone still carried a lingering sense of horror.
"The sheer amount and level of that spiritual power is far beyond what even a Limit Douluo could achieve at that moment."
Poison Undying, who was with Mu En, was naturally not dragged into the illusion that covered the entire Star Luo Square.
That's why Du Bu Si was so shocked by what had just happened.
He pulled more than 200,000 people on the scene, as well as high-level Soul Masters including several Title Douluo, into the illusion he created.
Even though the poison didn't kill him, Huo Yuhao cleverly linked the spiritual power of a Super Douluo with a mental attribute, a Soul Douluo, and six Soul Saints together by using the amplification of the Soul Tool.
But in the eyes of the Undying Poison, being able to successfully lead and accomplish such a feat is no different from being a god.
Moon's eyes flickered slightly, and his gentle voice followed.
"Even if you don't die, you should understand that the development speed of soul tools in the last hundred years can only be described as rapid and ever-changing."
The extent to which it will develop in the future is something our generation simply cannot imagine.
Perhaps in the near future, every Soul Master will consider learning and mastering Soul Tools as a compulsory course.
Moon paused for a moment, then slowly revealed the truth.
"Even now, within the Sun Moon Empire, I have personally witnessed a large soul tool that requires multiple people to operate, and the power it unleashed was enough to threaten my life."
"Hmph, of course I understand those principles."
Poison Undying snorted coldly, his tone as stubborn as ever, "Our Body Sect doesn't reject those close-combat soul tools."
"Let's talk about how indispensable soul tools are only relevant when they can truly integrate with martial souls and become part of a soul master's body. Otherwise, for someone at our level, they're ultimately not worth mentioning!"
Upon hearing this, Mu En simply chuckled and didn't offer any further advice.
Traditional Soul Masters are mostly like this, rejecting the vast majority of ranged attack and defense Soul Tools, yet having a special fondness for melee Soul Tools.
However, for these powerful figures who stand at the top of the continent, above the level of Super Douluo, there are only three known close-combat soul tools that have reached the ninth level in the world.
This has led to the vast majority of Soul Masters who, after reaching a high level of cultivation, becoming disdainful of Soul Tools.
However, people can't teach each other everything. But experience teaches people, and once is enough.
Moon believed that once Poisoned Strikes back to where it hurts, he would naturally understand the true meaning behind his words today.
……
Inside Huo Yuhao's room at the Star Emperor Hotel.
Zhang Lexuan stared blankly at Huo Yuhao, whom she had carefully helped to lie down on the bed, unsure of what to do next.
She doesn't have any ability to alleviate injuries or mental fatigue. She can't very well try to help Huo Yuhao fall asleep like her mother sang lullabies to her when she was a child, can she?
The moment this thought crossed her mind, Zhang Lexuan's pretty face flushed slightly, and her eyes darted around, completely unable to look at Huo Yuhao on the bed.
Seemingly noticing Zhang Lexuan's embarrassment, Huo Yuhao said softly, "Senior Sister, I'm really alright now."
"And now that you're our team leader, shouldn't you go back and arrange the finals?"
"what?"
Zhang Lexuan was clearly a little dazed, and it took her several seconds to react before she spoke hesitantly in a weak voice:
"No, it's alright. I've handed over all the matters concerning the competition to Dean Xian. My task now is to take good care of you."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into an eerie silence.
An awkward atmosphere spread through the air. Zhang Lexuan, who was facing this situation for the first time, felt unsure of what to do with her hands and feet, even while sitting on the sofa.
She always seemed so at ease and all-knowing when chatting with Huo Yuhao through the communication soul tool, like a caring older sister. But why was she unable to say anything in real life?
Move, Zhang Lexuan, why aren't you moving?
What are you so nervous about?
