Because the Nine Nether Profound Underworld Skill that Xiao Tian imparted not only contained the cultivation method itself, but also came with corresponding martial skills.
With these, she currently no longer needed offensive Spirit Abilities, except for special Spirit Abilities; what she needed most now, like Xiao Tian, was merely to enhance herself, which was enough.
Moreover, since she had successfully condensed her sixth spirit ring, her cultivation progress could be fully displayed in the next four months.
Her spirit power had already risen to sixty-two ranks, which was an excellent achievement for her!
Now, she could continue to stay in the Spirit Time House for another four months, and if nothing unexpected happened, she should be able to raise her spirit power by about two more ranks.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing showed a sly smile to Xiao Tian and Ah Yin and said, "Xiao Tian, Ah Yin, let me show you my new ability."
As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful Domain spread rapidly from Zhu Zhuqing, centered on her. Xiao Tian and Ah Yin, who were within the Domain, suddenly felt the arrival of night, and the surroundings instantly became pitch black.
Moreover, they felt that their five senses seemed to have become much weaker, and at the same time, wisps of cold air continuously eroded their bodies.
Xiao Tian did not break Zhu Zhuqing's Domain immediately. He wanted to see if there were any other special features besides the abilities currently displayed.
Hey!
Suddenly, Xiao Tian only felt someone gently pat his back. He quickly turned around and reached out his hand to grab in that direction, but he caught nothing.
Xiao Tian, relying on his Sword Pupil, saw that what he had grabbed was merely an illusion, and this illusion instantly re-merged into the darkness.
"Zhuqing, besides being able to reduce my five senses, allow Netherworld energy to invade my body, and enhance your own strength, your Domain should also allow you to merge into the darkness, right?"
"Within your Domain, you can constantly change your position with your consciousness, which is somewhat similar to Xiao Wu's Teleportation."
Although similar, it was only outwardly similar. Xiao Wu's Teleportation distance would be affected by the opponent's strength. If Xiao Wu's own strength was insufficient, and the opponent's strength was much higher than hers, then Xiao Wu's Teleportation distance would become very short.
But Zhu Zhuqing's ability, if he hadn't guessed wrong or seen wrong, was that as long as the Domain existed and the opponent couldn't quickly lock onto Zhu Zhuqing's true position while she was invisible, then Zhu Zhuqing was invincible.
The Zhu Zhuqing who patted his back just now was merely an illusion condensed from Netherworld power, and her true position had been found! The next moment, Xiao Tian appeared one meter behind Ah Yin and directly embraced the air!
Ah—
Zhu Zhuqing only felt her body being embraced by a large hand, a warm large hand around her waist, and it even mischievously pinched her lightly.
This made her subconsciously cry out. That spot was a bit itchy; she just felt a current flow through her whole body, a tingling sensation.
Zhu Zhuqing simply dispelled her Domain, looked up at the bad guy who was looking at her with a smile, her watery big eyes staring at him. She broke free from Xiao Tian's embrace, extended her two small fists, and hammered Xiao Tian's chest, saying in a spoiled tone, "You're bad, you're bad, you didn't even let me finish demonstrating, hmph!"
Xiao Tian couldn't help but be amused in his heart. This Zhu Zhuqing, who acted spoiled and had a slightly high-pitched voice, was truly endlessly captivating, and her voice was a great enjoyment for him.
Again, Xiao Tian pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, "Then tell me, was I right just now?"
"Hmph!" Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft snort, then said, "I guess you were right~ In the Netherworld Domain, I can indeed appear anywhere. It's just that I didn't react in time and was caught by you just now, otherwise I would have moved away."
Zhu Zhuqing's kind of movement had no cooldown. In fact, even when she was caught just now, she could have still transformed into Netherworld power, merged into the air, and then appeared in another place, which was equivalent to having a Netherworld Substitute. However, such a transfer was not without cost; it required a significant amount of spirit power.
This could be considered one of her life-saving skills.
As long as the opponent's strength was not powerful enough to break her Domain, she essentially had several lives.
Ah Yin stood quietly in place, watching the interaction between Xiao Tian and Zhuqing, with a somewhat complex look in her eyes.
Eight months had passed, and she still hadn't taken that step. She felt like an outsider, a third wheel, now.
Just as Ah Yin felt a little lost, Xiao Tian suddenly said to Ah Yin, "Ah Yin, why are you standing so far away? Come here quickly."
Saying that, Xiao Tian took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and walked towards Ah Yin.
He could actually feel Ah Yin's emotional changes, but he hadn't quite figured out how to deal with it. It seemed like both of them were just missing that one opportunity.
Zhu Zhuqing sniffed the air with her nose. Actually, she also felt that the atmosphere was a little off, and Ah Yin's gaze towards Xiao Tian was also a bit unusual.
She was familiar with that look! Because it seemed that before, she herself was discovered by Xiao Wu and Rongrong due to such a complex look, and then interrogated!
She didn't expect that what the little devil, who had forced her to make up her mind to tempt Xiao Tian several months ago, had said would actually come true. Ah Yin had indeed developed feelings for Xiao Tian.
It was just that Ah Yin now, like her before, had too many concerns.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood something. Ah Yin was Xiao Tian's contracted Spirit Soul, so Xiao Tian should be able to sense some of Ah Yin's emotional changes. That meant that what they two were actually lacking now was an opportunity to be honest and alone.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing paused, directly aiming her right foot, which was about to land on the ground, and precisely stomped on Xiao Tian's left foot!
Hiss!
Xiao Tian never expected Zhu Zhuqing to suddenly step on him. He gasped in pain, looking at her with some confusion.
Zhu Zhuqing gave Xiao Tian a look, her eyes darting towards Ah Yin's direction, and then Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said, "Oh, I want to try the cultivation speed brought to me by the Netherworld Empress now. Xiao Tian, Sister Ah Yin, then I'll go cultivate first!"
After speaking, Zhu Zhuqing ran towards the gravity zone at an extremely fast speed, as if she was escaping.
Xiao Tian:
Ah Yin:
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's behavior, both of them seemed to understand something. Xiao Tian secretly cursed himself for being a scoundrel. Zhuqing had seen Ah Yin's abnormality, and now she was intentionally leaving them alone. He must seize this opportunity well.
