Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 18: Martial Arts Classes
"Strange, my soul power!"

Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong as she played the melody. Her soul power actually started to flow along with the music.

This song actually contains the mental method of cultivating soul power, and it is much more advanced than the meditation method she learned from the city lord who recommended her to school.

"Yuwen Tuo, what kind of song is this? It's amazing." Xiao Xiao couldn't help but stop and ask.

Yuwen Tuo put down the leaf and said with a smile, "This is called the Su Lv Heart Method. It is a method that relies on music to cultivate soul power. My master's wife taught me this, but I am not good at music, so I have never practiced it in depth."

"You said you... are not good at music? Then what am I?" Xiao Xiao touched her head in a silly and embarrassed manner. Yuwen Tuo's attainments in music are much better than hers.

If he doesn't understand, then she is basically a layman.

Yuwen Tuo said, "You have great talent. It's only a matter of time before you surpass me. There's no need to underestimate yourself."

Xiao Xiao blushed in embarrassment after receiving the compliment. "By the way, you just mentioned your master's wife. So, you already have a master."

"Yes, my master has left me for a long time. He was a very good person, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and very powerful. Although he had killed some people, probably only seven figures at most, he was still quite gentle overall." Yuwen Tuo recalled.

"Yeah, I killed seven people..." Xiao Xiao probably didn't hear clearly. She just felt that killing seven people was nothing. After all, Yuwen Tuo's master must be a soul master. A soul master would kill people in his life. Seven, isn't too many? But she quickly came to her senses, "Wait, did you just say seven... digits?"

As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, one hand not enough. "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million... Your master killed over a million people? Who is he? No, is he still a human?"

Even the most evil soul master couldn't kill so many people. He can't even be called a human being. He is simply an invincible and unparalleled devil.

Even the strongest evil soul master would probably call him ancestor if he saw him.

How did Yuwen Tuo associate this kind of person with the word gentle?

"Haha, just kidding." Yuwen Tuo smiled and waved his hands. He didn't want to really scare Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and patted her undeveloped chest, "I told you, how could such a person exist in this world." She was really afraid that Yuwen Tuo was the apprentice of a big bad guy.

"What about your master's wife? She must be a master of music to be able to teach you such an amazing piece of music, right?"

"Of course!" Yuwen Tuo nodded.

At that time, he was just Xiaotuo, and his master's wife was naturally Dugu Ningke, the incarnation of the daughter of the demon world, who had such strong musical attainments that she could freely control the Fuxi Qin.

Perhaps it was because she loved Xiao Tuo so much that before her true identity was exposed, as Dugu Ningke, she also loved Xiao Tuo very much.

When she was a human, in order to hide her identity, the martial arts she used naturally would not be the magic skills of the demon world, so she learned martial arts from a martial arts sect in the human world, the Tianyin Sect, to deceive others.

That martial arts school relied on the rhythm of music to fight, and it had three sets of martial arts techniques.

There is the "Su Lu Heart Method" which is an entry-level mental method, the "String Sound Without Image" which is an advanced method that can only be practiced by elite disciples, and the "Absolute Heavenly Sound" which is a supreme mental method that can only be practiced by high-level members of the sect.

Dugu Ningke has a special identity. After all, her human identity is that of a princess of the royal family. Therefore, if she wants to learn the skills of a martial arts sect, she naturally does not need to follow such a step-by-step procedure. With an order from the Sui Emperor and a swing of Yuwen Tuo's Xuanyuan Sword, the sect will immediately hand over the three sets of mental skills and other martial arts to Ningke.

Ning Ke said that it was not good for Xiao Tuo to just practice sword every day, as he was too violent. It would be better for him to learn some music to cultivate his sentiments, so she passed on these skills to him.

What Yuwen Tuo passed on to Xiaoxiao today was only the most basic Su Lu mental method.

As for the more advanced "String Sounds Without Image" and "Absolute String Heavenly Sounds," he had no intention of teaching them at the moment. Firstly, Xiao Xiao's skills were too shallow, and her musical attainments were not high enough to cultivate such profound mental methods. Secondly, while he and Xiao Xiao could be considered friends, they were just ordinary friends. Giving small gifts was fine, but giving too much would only cause embarrassment for both parties; too much is as bad as too little.

Thirdly, and most importantly, as Xiao Xiao practices, she will sooner or later feel that this technique is not enough, and she will definitely want to obtain subsequent techniques. Yuwen Tuo thought that he would have his own power in the future, and this loli is the easiest to deceive now, so when would he take action if not now?
Shrek had wasted six years of his life, so it shouldn't be too much for him to kidnap one of their twin martial spirits.

A duet in the woods made Xiao Xiao's affection for Yuwen Tuo increase greatly. She was no longer just obsessed with his looks, but also felt that they were soulmates. At noon, she couldn't wait to drag Yuwen Tuo to the first-grade teaching building.

You can see your class assignments today.

Because there were too many people, Xiaoxiao was squeezed outside. She was too petite and could not see inside at all. She could only jump up and down to see, with her two ponytails swung up to the sky, like a little rabbit.

Yuwen Tuo laughed dumbly, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, stop dancing. I saw your name. You are in the freshman class, and your teacher is Zhou Yi."

He could see clearly because he was taller than most of the freshmen here.

Hearing the name Zhou Yi, many students who had gathered some information about Shrek looked at Xiao Xiao pitifully. How could such a lovely girl be assigned to that old lady?

Someone couldn't help but say, "Student, be careful! I heard that Teacher Zhou was too strict with the third-year students, resulting in only one-tenth of her class making it to the fourth grade. The students also complained to the academy several times, leading to her being demoted to the freshman class. We don't have many freak students in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, but we do have a lot of freak teachers, and Teacher Zhou is the worst of all."

"Really? I don't believe it unless you let me see it with my own eyes!" Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to say.

Everyone immediately made way for Xiao Xiao, who was finally able to squeeze in. However, she didn't even look at her name. Instead, she kept searching for something, muttering to herself, "Yuwen Tuo... Yuwen Tuo... Got it, here it is, Yuwen Tuo, freshman class one, great!!!"

Xiao Xiao immediately jumped for joy, "Yuwen Tuo, did you see that? I'm in the same class with you!"

"I'm in the wrong class!" Everyone's faces were filled with black lines, they were framed by this little girl. It turned out that she didn't care at all which teacher she was assigned to, she only cared about whether she and the boy were in the same class.

They had been so kind-hearted to make way for the girl and let her see her hopeless future. Now they felt that being single made them even more hopeless.

Everyone looked at Yuwen Tuo as if he were an animal, with only one meaning in their eyes.

Of course, kid, you picked up such a cute female classmate right after entering school. But she is obviously a loli-type girl, and you could actually do that to her?
