Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 369 Bickering, Zhu Hongxiu's Curiosity

One match after another.

From afternoon until sunset, the light on the dome of the Arena gradually changed from dazzling to golden.

Dai Chengfeng led Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing in a total of six more matches.

In every match, Dai Chengfeng did not use excessive strength; his focus was on cooperating with and guiding the two girls.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing initially fought independently and occasionally faced dangerous situations, but gradually found some tacit understanding later on.

They remained silent and rarely communicated, but in their subtle movements of dodging, defending, and coordinating attacks during the battle, there was a noticeable increase in coordination that they hadn't shown before.

With just a glance, the other person can roughly understand his intentions. Although it cannot be called a meeting of minds, it is far better than before.

And with the final battle of spirits coming to an end.

Dai Chengfeng looked at the two women, who, though slightly tired, had excited eyes and high fighting spirit, and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the intensity of today's battles was not high, the high frequency of combat and continuous practice resulted in decent overall gains.

“Let’s go,” he called out. “That’s enough for today’s battle. It’s time to go back.”

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing had no objections and followed Dai Chengfeng away from the noisy battle arena.

Night fell, turning the sky above Wuhun City in ink.

The three walked back to the Spirit Hall. Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena kept a two-step distance from Dai Chengfeng, separating to their left and right, remaining silent to each other.

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Hu Liena on the other side and spoke in a cold voice.

"Thank you."

The two words were concise and to the point, reflecting Zhu Zhuqing's consistent simplicity.

Dai Chengfeng did not stop walking, but his eyebrows twitched very slightly.

Hu Liena paused slightly, then turned to look at the "little wildcat" beside her.

The silver moonlight outlined Zhu Zhuqing's delicate and aloof profile. Her gaze was fixed straight ahead, as if her words of thanks were just casual remarks rather than deliberate.

"What did you say?"

Hu Liena was somewhat puzzled and asked subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing turned her gaze slightly to the side. "In the later matches today, and in the last match when you blocked that earth spike soul skill, I could see that you were consciously coordinating with my attack rhythm, creating space for me to break through."

"Kitty..."

Hu Liena never expected that Zhu Zhuqing would notice these details, let alone that she would thank her.

After a brief moment of surprise, a strange warmth quietly spread through my heart, and even the embarrassment of being forced to "show each other honestly" seemed to have faded a lot.

She suddenly realized that the little cat in front of her, who always had a stern face and aloof eyes, was actually kind of cute...

At least he's frank, and also insightful and has potential.

A slight smile flashed across Hu Liena's face, but she quickly shook her head: However, this little kitten is still feeling guilty about its own strength...

Thinking this, Hu Liena's red lips curved into a tiny smile. She deliberately raised her chin and snorted, "I did that to defeat my opponent more efficiently, okay? I didn't do it on purpose to take care of you, you... little kitten!"

She drew out the last syllable of "kitty," with a hint of provocation.

Zhu Zhuqing gave Hu Liena a deep look, seemingly understanding Hu Liena's thoughts, and then she gave a cold snort in return:
"Ha, you stubborn fox! Next time, I won't need your help."

"Oh? Is that so? I wonder who was almost hit by that earth-shattering hammer. If it weren't for my mental interference slightly hindering it..."

"Same here! When you were entangled with that stone giant, if I hadn't exploited its weakness in time, would you have been able to break free?"

"That's still better than some reckless fool who tried to force his way in and ended up surrounded by traps!"

"It's better than some people using charm to control the situation, getting distracted halfway through, and almost dragging their teammates down with them..."

For a moment, the only sound on the quiet street was the bickering between the two girls.

Dai Chengfeng walked in the middle, listening to the 'confrontation' around him, and shook his head and smiled.

"It seems my team is developing in a promising direction..."

………… …………

In front of Dai Chengfeng's room at the Spirit Hall.

"Dai Chengfeng, I'll be leaving now..."

Hu Liena looked at Dai Chengfeng, preparing to say goodbye.

Just then, a graceful and elegant figure stepped out of the room.

She was dressed in a magnificent yet elegant deep purple palace gown, with a gentle and refined demeanor. She was none other than Zhu Hongxiu, the Empress of the Star Luo Empire and Dai Chengfeng's mother.

"Mother."

Dai Chengfeng was the first to stop and respectfully bow.

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena immediately composed themselves and bowed slightly in greeting, "Auntie."

"Senior Zhu."

Zhu Hongxiu smiled and nodded, her gaze lingering on Hu Liena for a moment longer.

Then, she looked at her son and Zhu Zhuqing, and the subtle atmosphere between the three of them standing together...

“Chengfeng, Zhuqing, and Miss Hu Liena…”

Zhu Hongxiu smiled and looked at Hu Chengfeng, "Where have you been? Why are you coming back so late for the past two days?"

Zhu Hongxiu originally thought that Dai Chengfeng was cultivating a tacit understanding with Zhu Zhuqing, but she accidentally overheard that Dai Chengfeng had also brought Hu Liena, the future Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, to the Soul Arena, so she waited for him today.

She wanted to know what her son was up to.
It's normal for the future Star Luo Emperor to have a harem, but it can't interfere with important matters!
Clearly, mastering the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Skill is the important thing!
When Dai Chengfeng saw his mother's questioning gaze, he did not hide anything.

"After returning to Mother, we went to the Soul Arena in the city."

"Fighting Spirit Arena?"

Zhu Hongxiu nodded, a slight reproach in her eyes, "Is it for actual combat? To improve teamwork? But Chengfeng, the Netherworld White Tiger is you and..."

"Mother."

Before Zhu Hongxiu could finish speaking, Dai Chengfeng interrupted, explaining, "Going to the Soul Arena, on one hand, was indeed to cultivate synergy with Zhu Qing in battle and to comprehend the Netherworld White Tiger; but on the other hand..."

He paused, a look of eager anticipation in his eyes, "I have an idea, and I want to see if it can be successful."

"idea?"

“Yes,” Dai Chengfeng nodded, “My and Zhu Qing’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill will definitely succeed, but I’m thinking, could we join Hu Liena and try to… create a ‘trinity’ Martial Soul Fusion Skill that can be performed by all three of us!”

"A Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique?!"

Zhu Hongxiu's gentle smile was instantly replaced by shock, and her elegant eyes widened slightly as her gaze swept back and forth between Dai Chengfeng, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena.

Even with her status and knowledge, she knew how astonishing this idea was!

Soul fusion skills are extremely rare, requiring compatibility between souls and a high degree of harmony between soul masters.

And the Trinity...

It exists only in legends, and the conditions and difficulties are beyond imagination.

The "golden triangle" is the only known example, but how special is their relationship? Can these three children handle it?!
But after a moment of shock, the worry in Zhu Hongxiu's eyes as she looked at her son was replaced by a deeper trust and expectation from a mother for her child.

Moreover, no one knows a child better than their mother...

Zhu Hongxiu always knew that her son was calm and decisive, and would not speak without reason.

Although this goal seems unattainable, since he dared to propose it, he must have his reasons and support.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Hongxiu's expression softened again, becoming full of encouragement.

only……

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Hu Liena held a profound meaning.
