Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 17: Music of Nine Phoenixes

In the room, Yuwen Tuo sat cross-legged in meditation, practicing the Divine Fire Splitting Body Technique.

A part of his soul power was sucked away by Ma Xiaotao again, but it was no longer as much as before. It was sucked from level 20 to only level 10.

He is now level 19, having only dropped one level.

Perhaps it was because there was not much evil fire left in Ma Xiaotao's body, so there was no need to absorb so much pure fire. Or perhaps it was because most of the remaining nineteen levels of Yuwen Tuo's soul power belonged to innate soul power, which was no longer something that ordinary people could absorb.

After meditating for about an hour, Yuwen Tuo put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Although he doesn't have much freedom now, as long as he doesn't leave the academy, the Shrek people don't seem to interfere with him. Now that he is out, he might as well walk around more.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went downstairs, he saw a little loli looking at him angrily.

"Good job, Yuwen Tuo, you finally showed up!"

"Hey Xiaoxiao, why do you look so angry? You look like you could hang a bottle of oil on your mouth. Did I offend you in any way?" Yuwen Tuo asked.

Xiao Xiao complained, "I'm telling you, didn't we agree to have dinner together last night? I waited for you in the cafeteria for two whole hours, but you stood me up."

Yuwen Tuo then remembered that this seemed to be the case, but Ma Xiaotao suddenly came yesterday and held him to practice for the whole night. Now he couldn't beat Ma Xiaotao and couldn't resist, so he could only stand Xiaoxiao up.

"Sorry, Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean to do that. I practiced all night yesterday and forgot the time."

"You practiced all night on the first day. It seems that you worked very hard. However, you don't have a spirit ring now. No matter how much you practice, your level will not change." Xiao Xiao said.

Yuwen Tuo smiled helplessly, "It has changed. Now I am level 19."

Xiao Xiao was stunned. "Level 19? But I remember you were still level 20 yesterday. You are practicing, are you sure you are not losing your power?"

"Could it be that something went wrong during his training? He was too impatient and went astray, causing his soul power to go haywire, forcing him to disperse some of his power to save his life?"

"That's about right." Yuwen Tuo couldn't possibly tell the truth. After all, it was too embarrassing to be forced to have his power drained by a woman.

"Oh, you look so mature, but how can you actually be so radical? Cultivation requires gradual progress; this is the most basic. Are you okay now?" Xiao Xiao had long forgotten about being stood up. She was now more worried about Yuwen Tuo going astray. Would dispersing his energy be a problem? In this situation, if not handled properly, it could damage the meridians and affect the foundation of his soul power. Even more dangerous was the unstable mind, making it difficult to practice deep meditation in the future.

Yuwen Tuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, it should be fine."

Doesn't he know whether there is a problem or not? Although his current soul power is one level lower than yesterday, his foundation is deeper, and his actual combat power has not weakened. After all, the concentration and purity of innate soul power far exceeds the acquired soul power.

"What do you mean by 'should'?" Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes, and finally her gaze became firm, as if she had made a decision. She grabbed Yuwen Tuo's arm and said, "Follow me!"

After that, she dragged Yuwen Tuo around the academy, looking for places with few people. When they came to a small forest with no one around, she said, "Let's go here."

"What's the meaning here?" Yuwen Tuo asked blankly. Could this seemingly adorable Xiao Xiao actually be a bitch? "Yuwen Tuo, you must keep this a secret. This was originally my secret weapon for the freshman exam, but now, to help you, I have to reveal it early." With that, Xiao Xiao flipped her hand, and a jade flute appeared in her hand, emblazoned with the symbol of a phoenix.

A circle of yellow soul ring revolved around Xiaoxiao.

It turned out that she was preparing to show her second martial soul, no wonder she was so mysterious.

Yuwen Tuo pretended to be surprised and said, "Xiao Xiao, you actually have twin martial spirits."

He knew that Xiao Xiao had no intention of hiding this secret, and the original novel had revealed it very early on. She had even added a hundred-year soul ring to her second martial soul early on, which showed that she had prepared it for use in the admission of new students in advance, in order to achieve good results in the entrance examination and become a core disciple of Shrek Academy.

In fact, Yuwen Tuo certainly does not agree with this approach, as it is undoubtedly a waste of his potential.

"Hehe, that's right, isn't it amazing? This is called the Nine Phoenixes Arriving Xiao!" Xiao Xiao said proudly, "Come, listen carefully, I'll play a tune for you."

Xiaoxiao put the Nine Phoenixes Coming Xiao to her lips and started to play. A melodious melody came out from the flute. It was obviously a song that could calm the mind. It seemed that Xiaoxiao really thought that he was possessed and wanted to help him in this way.

Admittedly, this method is somewhat effective, but firstly, Yuwen Tuo is not really obsessed, so there is no need for him to calm his mind. Secondly, Xiao Xiao's musical attainments do not seem to be very good. He made at least three mistakes in one song.

Yuwen Tuo smiled, picked up a leaf and started playing with her. The song he played was the same song Xiaoxiao had just played, and Yuwen Tuo's performance was even more perfect and beautiful than hers.

Xiao Xiao looked at Yuwen Tuo in shock, obviously not expecting that Yuwen Tuo also knew music.

She did not stop, and played with Yuwen Tuo along with his tune. Under Yuwen Tuo's guidance, she did not make a single wrong note in the second half. It was a perfect meditation song that kept echoing in the woods.

After a long while, the two finished playing the last note. Xiao Xiao put down the jade flute and said excitedly, "Amazing, Yuwen Tuo. I didn't expect your musical attainments to be so high. I tried to use music to calm your mind, but ended up making a fool of myself."

Yuwen Tuo smiled and said, "No, Xiaoxiao, I am very grateful for your help."

It is not always the case that we judge by actions rather than by heart. At this time, Yuwen Tuo judges by heart rather than by actions. Although Xiao Xiao cannot actually help him, he really wants to help him.

"Xiaoxiao, are you interested in playing another piece together? How about you follow my rhythm and I teach you a piece?"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Xiao nodded quickly. With a Xiao-type martial soul, how could she not like music?

It's a pity that she is not from a noble family and has no very good music teacher, so she is only a half-baked one now.

If you want to make good use of a martial soul like the Nine Phoenixes Coming Xiao, which relies on sound to perform soul skills, you must have strong musical attainments.

"Then follow me. This piece of music is one of the Six Songs of Mengchun."

Yuwen Tuo started playing first. After he finished playing once, Xiaoxiao followed Yuwen Tuo and started playing from the beginning. At the beginning, she still made mistakes very easily, but with Yuwen Tuo's guidance, she soon got into the groove.
