Watching the sharp blade approach,
Hen Qiutian calmly narrowed her eyes, her second spirit ring flashing beneath her feet.
*Bang!
* "Ah!"
A scream rang out on the arena.
Hen Qiutian's blue silver flying hammer suddenly sprouted from the ground in front of her opponent,
striking him squarely in the face.
The ghost vines lost control, and the blade fell to the ground. Hen Qiutian
's first spirit ring flashed, and lightning crackled around her blue silver flying hammer.
*Crackling sounds!
* In an instant, she shattered the ghost vines on her body.
The chain part of the flying hammer immediately sank into the ground, binding her opponent's feet as they tried to create distance.
Holding the hammer head, she charged forward,
striking her opponent heavily in the chest, rendering him unable to fight, and securing the victory in the soul battle.
Hen Qiutian smiled as she looked towards the waiting area below the stage.
Seeing nothing, she felt a pang of disappointment.
After the referee announced the result, Hen Qiutian quickly left the stage; she didn't want to miss Ye Qiu and his partner's double soul battle.
When she arrived at the waiting area...
The duel between Ye Qiu and his companion was nearing its end.
The two Soul Masters, caught in the constant interplay of seven afterimages, were forced to retreat and carried off the stage.
Ye Qiu, however, remained standing at the edge of the arena, seemingly having never even lifted a finger.
"Senior Ye Qiu... I won! I won!"
Seeing Ye Qiu, Hen Qiutian rushed forward to tell him the result.
"Yes, I saw it all. Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."
Ye Qiu smiled and nodded.
Hen Qiutian's martial soul was quite superior.
It could be used for both offensive and control purposes; combining the two
would be a real headache for any opponent.
"Yes, thank you, Senior Ye Qiu."
Hen Qiutian nodded quickly, seizing the opportunity to grab Ye Qiu's sleeve.
"You're welcome, it was nothing."
Ye Qiu shook his head and chuckled, glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention.
"Alright, I'll take you back now, so it's not too late and you don't disturb Grandma Tom and the others' rest."
"Okay."
Henqiu nodded, looking at Ye Qiu's hand that was about to be placed on his shoulder, and mustered up the courage to offer his soft hand. Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback,
his face burning , but he didn't mind, his other hand was around Zhu Zhuqing's waist. Divine Might activated. The three figures had already disappeared from the Soul Arena. ... After taking Henqiu back to the Tom and Jerry carving shop, Ye Qiu immediately left with Zhu Zhuqing. Tonight was the last night of their time together. It was time to do something serious. Otherwise, not only would Zhu Zhuqing feel regret, but he would too. Even if he didn't want to defeat all seven of them at once and make them roll their eyes and twitch all over, he at least wanted to test those two white and plump cats and let them learn how to use their weapons. Then Ye Qiu would get down to business. After exchanging a few words with Grandma Tom, Henqiu quickly returned to his room. He stared blankly at the hand that Ye Qiu had held. Looking at the faint calluses on her palms, a sense of loss and inferiority welled up within her. But she didn't think about changing anything. Her primary task was to become stronger, strong enough, like the illusion that Senior Ye Qiu had created for her.
One hammer blow could turn the Haotian Sect upside down!
Henqiu Tian grabbed her clothes, quickly washed up, and then sat cross-legged on the bed
to cultivate.
Before starting her meditation, Henqiu Tian took out a piece of fine wood from under her pillow.
She had already carved the outline of a young man onto it.
Holding the carving knife,
she carefully and meticulously made a few cuts based on her memories from the previous night.
Then she put it back under her pillow.
This piece...
she had to make it lifelike! Even if carving just a little bit each time took a long time, she would finish it.
She would firmly remember Ye Qiu's appearance!
...
Hanhai City, by the sea.
Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing were on a long-abandoned fishing boat, spreading out a mat.
The boundless sea, the beach shrouded in night, no one
around, only the sound of the surging waves.
On the deck.
Zhu Zhuqing lay bent over on the edge of the boat, head held high, chest out, legs spread, buttocks raised, looking down at the sea.
Admiring the bioluminescence beneath the sea, her face flushed with excitement, and she sang seaside songs with the waves, each wave higher than the last.
Like a mermaid singing a legendary ballad under the moonlight.
But even near the shore,
the sea's waves never ceased, surging towards them.
The fishing boat swayed from side to side with the crashing waves
…
Time passed quickly.
The stormy night soon ended.
Ye Qiu had only been gone for three days.
Zhu Zhuqing had splashed him with seawater seven times, urging him to go home.
The sun rose.
The morning sun's rays shone on the beach and onto the sea, making it sparkle.
The fishermen had already begun their day's work. But on the abandoned fishing boat where Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing had been the night before , nothing remained. Following the rhythm of the waves,
Zhu Zhuqing , who had sung softly all night, had accompanied Ye Qiu back to Blue Tyrant Academy. Ning Rongrong, already awake, looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still a little sore and weak, being carried by Ye Qiu. "Zhuqing, you didn't just go to the beach to watch the sunrise today, did you?" Zhu Zhuqing buried her head in Ye Qiu's arms, not responding. She never expected that she would be so moved by Ye Qiu's sweet words, agreeing to let him ride the waves in the darkness and the open sea. "Alright, Rongrong, of course we went to see the sunrise. You move aside, I'll take Zhuqing to her room to rest a bit more." Ye Qiu smiled helplessly; once his curiosity was piqued, it wasn't so easy to suppress. "Haha... Of course we saw it, after all, you watched the sunrise all night, didn't you, my husband?" Dugu Yan leaned close to Ye Qiu, giggling. "Yan Yan, you...you guys stop talking!" Zhu Zhuqing looked up, embarrassed and annoyed, the afterglow still lingering on her face. "Alright, Rongrong, come on up, it's time to start cultivating." Sitting on the roof, Liu Erlong's eyes gleamed, urging Ning Rongrong to come up to the roof. Ye Qiu quickly escorted Zhu Zhuqing into her room and settled her in. (End of Chapter)
