Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Tu Shan Su Su, a tangled web of fate.

Chapter 61: Has she fallen for me, her older sister?

The first exorcism technique involves concentrating all the body's power into a single point and unleashing it suddenly.

It's more like a technique for generating power, similar to exploding rings, burning divine power and mental energy.

It not only includes physical attacks, but also contains destructive power at the soul level.

His previously acquired Soul Bone Skill—Burning Heart Flame—possesses a flexible burning effect.

The physical attack of the flames likely stemmed from the fact that some of the Fire Dragon King's power remained in his body after he finished soaking in the hot pot.

The power of an exorcism technique depends on the degree of control over one's power and one's own strength.

He could clearly feel that he had not yet been able to fully unleash his full power and could only exert a small portion of its strength.

Even so, it's enough to be his trump card.

"Hmm, not bad. You've basically mastered the relevant techniques. As long as you keep practicing, you'll definitely achieve something!"

Tu Shan Honghong gently stroked Xiao Bai in her arms and said in a calm tone.

"This is all thanks to Sister Honghong's excellent teaching!"

Lin Jiuxuan scratched his head and chuckled.

"By the way, I've recently noticed that my soul power cultivation speed seems to have increased significantly. I don't know why. Can Sister Honghong tell what's wrong?"

Lin Jiuxuan asked in confusion,

After acquiring the spirit ring and external spirit bone last time, he didn't consume any immortal herbs or anything like that; he just cultivated normally, which left him somewhat puzzled.

It seems to have started after Tang Chen's surprise attack. Could it be that he was so frightened that he awakened some kind of talent?

Tu Shan Honghong paused, slowly lowered her head, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. "Normal cultivation is fine."

"Even Sister Honghong can't figure out the reason?"

Lin Jiuxuan frowned, feeling uneasy about this inexplicable change.

A brief silence fell over the courtyard.

Only Xiaobai peeked out from Tushan Honghong's arms.

It curiously looked at Lin Jiuxuan with its bright little eyes.

Tu Shan Honghong held it by the scruff of its neck and placed it on the stone table, then walked to Lin Jiuxuan's side.

"You've barely mastered the moves, but your combat skills are still far from adequate."

It seems to be to defuse the awkwardness or to divert attention.

Tu Shan Honghong said calmly,

"I'll teach you some basic moves. Once you've mastered and can use them flexibly, then practice in real combat, and your fighting skills will naturally improve."

As she spoke, Tu Shan Honghong moved.

The clear, ringing bell rang out.

She threw a punch to the side, followed by a sweeping kick and a left hook.

Her every move was powerful and vigorous, while her flowing red dress accentuated her graceful beauty.

Adorned with the fiery red sunset, it resembles an exquisite painting.

Lin Jiuxuan was somewhat mesmerized.

My thoughts drifted back to that sunset, to that resolute figure, that domineering yet exquisite profile.

"What's wrong?"

"You've fallen for me, older sister?"

A cool yet magnetic voice pulled Lin Jiuxuan back to reality from her memories.

I don't know when,

Tu Shan Honghong was already standing in front of him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Tu Shan Honghong is not very tall.

Lin Jiuxuan was not fully developed either; the two were of similar height.

Their eyes met, and Lin Jiuxuan saw her own somewhat dazed reflection through Tu Shan's red and green pupils.

He realized it in an instant.

A sudden panic gripped me, and I hastily turned my head away.

I instinctively took a step back, as if I'd been caught cheating by the teacher.

"No! No!"

Lin Jiuxuan hurriedly waved her hand, her voice tinged with nervousness.

The words had barely left his mouth when

His innate will to survive immediately provided him with a temporary fix.

"No, no, that's not what I meant!"

"I...I..." Lin Jiuxuan was speechless for a moment, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead. She had forgotten how to express herself.

"You'd better not have those thoughts!"

Tu Shan Honghong wiped the smile from her lips and said coldly.

Xiao Bai was originally watching Tu Shan Hong Hong's every move intently.

The cat looked surprised when it was suddenly brought up.

But when it sensed Tu Shan Hong Hong's familiar scent and warm embrace, Xiao Bai calmed down again.

Looking up at that stunningly beautiful face,

I don't know if it's just my imagination,

It could actually sense a touch of sorrow in those glassy eyes.

Lin Jiuxuan stood there, stunned. Could it be that the change in Honghong's attitude towards him that he had felt during this period was all an illusion?

Why was the refusal so decisive?

Then what happened when you desperately tried to save me?

Was their previous scheme exposed?

No one could answer him.

Regarding the increase in cultivation speed

After observing for several days without any other abnormalities,

Even though they were completely baffled, they could only put it aside for the time being and continue their normal cultivation.

Lin Jiuxuan felt immense pressure from the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, Tang San, and the Asura God who was secretly plotting against her.

The old man, Shura God, has definitely discovered that he has transmigrated.

Due to the rules of the divine realm, Old Deng will most likely not make a move openly.

However, even something as simple as moving one's little finger is something one cannot afford to do.

Tang Chen must have been mistaken that time; he didn't realize what was going on with Tu Shan Hong Hong.

What about next time?

Strength! Strength!

Lin Jiuxuan clenched his fists!

"Little Su Su, the red thread I gave your brother Jiu Xuan to subdue the soul beast seemed to work really well. Could you give your sister one for self-defense?"

Outside the training grounds of Tiandou Academy

While Lin Jiuxuan was engrossed in cultivation, Dugu Yan looked at Xiao Susu with anticipation.

Little Su Su tilted her head, looking somewhat hesitant.

"Brother Jiuxuan said we can't use soul skills recklessly!"

A sly glint flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes.

"Of course my sister uses it for self-defense, why would she use it recklessly?"

Little Su Su had no guard up against the older sister she had known for a long time.

In the end, he was swayed by Dugu Yan's sweet words.

A flash of red light appeared in his hand.

A red string, about the thickness of a little finger, appeared.

Dugu Yan was secretly delighted, but she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

She had a little plan in her mind for a long time.

He wanted to use the red thread to get a little revenge on Lin Jiuxuan.

Let him feel his own presence.

Let him like you for an hour.

Who told him to treat himself that way in the Star Dou Great Forest?

Surprisingly, he has absolutely no thoughts about himself.

After obtaining the red rope, they carefully wrapped it with green thread to disguise it.

She knew the power of that red thread.

That was enough to make Lin Jiuxuan develop an irresistible fondness for her.

I also remember Lin Jiuxuan saying,

The magic of this red thread lasts only one day and one night, so you must seize the opportunity.

During a break in training,

Dugu Yan found an opportunity to get close to Lin Jiuxuan.

In the lounge, she approached Lin Jiuxuan in a seemingly unintentional manner.

"Junior, this rope is too long, could you help me cut it into two pieces?"

Her voice carried a hint of pleading, but her eyes sparkled with expectation.

Although Lin Jiuxuan was somewhat puzzled, she still took the green rope.

however,

The instant his fingers touched the rope.

Dugu Yan's eyes underwent a subtle change.

Why would Lin Jiuxuan tell others the effects of his soul skills without reservation?

Therefore, Dugu Yan did not know that the red thread was bidirectional.

Moreover, it had no effect on Lin Jiuxuan himself.

The moment Lin Jiuxuan grabbed the rope,

A pair of slender, jade-like hands grasped his hand as well.

"Junior, do you know? I've actually liked you for a long time!"

Dugu Yan's eyes were emerald green, rippling like blue waves.

"Ahem, senior, please have some self-respect!"

Lin Jiuxuan looked flustered, completely unexpected that she would do this!

Looking into Dugu Yan's expressive eyes and delicate face, feeling the warm touch on the back of his hand,

He felt a little flustered.

This is not how you test veteran cadres!

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself!

He tried to pull his hand away from hers, but Dugu Yan was completely absorbed in her own world.

He wasn't given a chance to struggle at all.

"I remember the first time we met was at the college invitational tournament. I felt at first glance that you were different from others."

And then, you indeed created miracles time and time again.

My heart was repeatedly stirred by you, and in the end, I fell in love with you without any resistance.

"Junior, don't you really have even the slightest bit of affection for me?"

Feeling Dugu Yan's delicate body drawing ever closer,

Lin Jiuxuan could smell the faint, orchid-like fragrance emanating from her.

I could feel the slight, rapid trembling in her palm; it was her heartbeat.

"That senior student."

Just as Lin Jiuxuan was about to offer a tactful explanation, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother Jiuxuan, what are you doing, big sister?"

But then Su Su suddenly barged in.

He watched with curiosity as the two people were about to get close together.

Lin Jiuxuan was afraid that Susu would be led astray, and even more afraid that Honghong, who was hiding in the shadows, would misunderstand. While pulling her hand away, she hurriedly called out.

"Senior, let go! Let go!"

Unexpectedly, Dugu Yan changed her usual behavior and obediently let go of her hand.

Then she stood quietly to the side, looking at Lin Jiuxuan with love in her eyes.

"We...we," Lin Jiuxuan stammered, just as she was about to explain, when suddenly the sound of debris falling to the ground came from outside the door.

"Who's there!" Lin Jiuxuan shouted angrily, his figure flashing like lightning as he instantly appeared outside the door.

"Haha, don't be nervous, I'm just passing by."

Yu Feng chuckled sullenly.

He had already reacted very quickly, but he didn't expect Lin Jiuxuan to be even faster than him, a Soul Master of Agility and Attack.

I had only run a few steps after turning around when I was blocked in the corridor.

"Just passing by? Then why are you running? Did you hear something you shouldn't have?"

Lin Jiuxuan approached Yu Feng step by step, his eyes sharp. This guy just couldn't keep Feng's big mouth shut. If he heard something, what would happen?

Does Dugu Yan still care about her reputation?

Does he even care about saving face?

"Junior, you've misunderstood! I really didn't hear anything!"

Yu Feng raised his hands, feigning innocence as he defended himself.

But his shifty eyes betrayed his guilty conscience.

Without realizing it, she secretly glanced at Dugu Yan again.

"Oh, in that case, senior, make an oath! Oath with your martial spirit!"

Lin Jiuxuan raised his fist, his expression full of threat.

"Junior."

Yu Feng glanced at the clenched fist, swallowed hard, and realized that Shi Mo had already witnessed the power of those fists.

With his small frame, if he gets punched, he'll probably be bedridden for ten days or half a month.

Circumstances are beyond one's control; a wise man doesn't suffer immediate losses.

Forced by circumstances, Yu Feng had no choice but to submit. He clenched his right fist, pressed it to his forehead, and solemnly swore an oath:

"I, Yu Feng, swear by my martial soul, the Wind Chime Bird, that I will never utter a single word about what I have heard before."

"Breaking this oath will result in the shattering of your martial spirit and an inability to advance your cultivation!"

In the Douluo Continent, swearing an oath with one's martial soul is an extremely solemn matter.

Although there is no conclusive evidence that breaking an oath will have any consequences,

However, the Martial Soul is the foundation of everyone; it is sacred and noble.

To swear an oath with one's martial spirit is like swearing one's entire life's honor and reputation.

As a guarantee, no one would easily break the promise unless they were in dire straits.

"Sigh, I believe in my senior, but this is a very important matter!" Lin Jiuxuan patted Yu Feng's shoulder, looking helpless.

"Yes, yes, if there's nothing else, junior, I'll be going now!"

Yu Feng said awkwardly, and then left without looking back. He really couldn't afford to offend them!

"Junior brother." Dugu Yan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Jiuxuan.

"Senior, you... hey!"

Lin Jiuxuan swallowed her words, letting out a heavy sigh.

"Let's just pretend nothing happened."

He went on to say,

"Don't speak yet, let's talk in an hour."

At this point, how could he not see where the problem lay?

It was all that red string that caused the trouble.

fortunately,

The red thread not only increases favorability but also increases his importance in Dugu Yan's heart, giving him a certain influence.

He only hoped to get through this ordeal safely.

"Hmph! Jiuxuan is mine!"

Su Su glared at Dugu Yan with wide eyes and grabbed Lin Jiuxuan's hand.

Previous events,

Coupled with Dugu Yan's undisguised gaze, even the slow-witted Su Su realized something.

This older sister is actually trying to steal Jiu Xuan from her!

Several days ago, someone tried to take away her Jiuxuan brother.

Now even her closest older sister is joining the competition, making Su Su feel incredibly wronged.

Her eyes were red, and she held Lin Jiuxuan's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Heh, what's wrong, you little rascal, are you jealous?"

Lin Jiuxuan picked up Xiao Susu and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, his tone slightly teasing.

"Hmph!" Su Su pouted and stubbornly turned her head to the side, unwilling to look at Lin Jiuxuan.

"Don't worry, I'll always be your Jiuxuan brother, no one can take me away from you!"

Lin Jiuxuan chuckled.

"Really?" Su Su secretly glanced at Lin Jiuxuan out of the corner of her eye. Although she was somewhat shaken, she still refused to believe it completely.

"Really, I swear!"

Su Su looked at Lin Jiuxuan's serious expression, but why did it feel different from what she wanted?

Yu Feng walked out of the lounge looking dejected, feeling as if he had been scratched by a cat.

What did he just hear?

Vice-captain Dugu Yan actually confessed her feelings to her junior, Lin Jiuxuan!

This is an absolutely shocking revelation!

This is a bombshell that will shock Tiandou Academy for half a year!

But Lin Jiuxuan actually gave him a gag order.

For a gossipy young man,

It's even more unbearable than "Three-Second Real Man"!

Whenever he saw someone pass by her, he felt an urge to rush up and vent his frustrations.

But with the martial soul oath binding him, he really couldn't do it!
