Bah, Grandfather's Meddling with Matchmaking

The girl, hearing Tuoba Yan's explanation, immediately flew into a rage, a surge of fiery anger rising in her heart.

The first Soul Ring beneath her feet suddenly flared, emitting a dazzling light.

"First Soul Skill? Eerie Foxfire!"

With a flick of Hu Li Na's delicate hand, three vibrant pink Foxfires shot towards Tuoba Yan like arrows leaving a bowstring, instantly filling the air with scorching heat.

"Dragon Step!"

Tuoba Yan roared, his footwork suddenly accelerating, and his figure darted through the air in graceful arcs, skillfully dodging the Foxfire's attacks.

However, no matter where he dodged, the three Foxfires seemed to possess intelligence, relentlessly pursuing him.

He leaped into the air, and the Foxfires rose with him; he weaved around the sofa, the Foxfires following closely behind.

"I've been marked!"

Tuoba Yan was suddenly startled, a realization dawning on him.

He must have unknowingly been marked by her Soul Power during their previous fierce battle, or perhaps some kind of tracking technique had been used on him.

Faced with the Foxfires that clung to him like a persistent parasite, Tuoba Yan saw that dodging was futile, so he resolutely steeled his heart and stopped evading.

A yellow Soul Ring slowly descended from his head, and he abruptly halted, opening his mouth to unleash a torrent of scorching flames. The flames collided with the Foxfires with a resounding boom.

In an instant, intense energy exploded in the air, and the three pink Foxfires were consumed entirely.

"Oh!"

A captivating, soul-stirring voice drifted through the air.

Hu Li Na lightly placed a finger on her red lips, her posture alluringly graceful, and she giggled, "Little brother, I didn't think you had some skills!"

The voice was sweetly seductive, enough to make anyone's heart flutter.

Tuoba Yan stood frozen for a moment.

He saw that Hu Li Na's second Soul Ring, located on her waist, began to pulse rapidly. A confident smile curved her lips, as if she held all the cards, a smile that seemed to silently proclaim: I don't believe I can't handle you, you little rascal!

"Second Soul Skill? Fox Charm!"

Hu Li Na exclaimed sweetly, unleashing a Soul Skill derived from a pink fox.

When this skill was used, it could bewitch opponents with captivating language and gaze, unless the opponent's Spirit Power far surpassed hers, they would inevitably fall into a three-second forced stun.

She glided towards Tuoba Yan with a flirtatious gait, her mind drifting back to her own experiences.

At just eleven and a half years old, her Innate Soul Power had already reached level nine, and a few months ago, she had successfully obtained her second Soul Ring.

Thanks to the unparalleled advantages of the Simulated Training Grounds, her Soul Power Level had reached an astonishing twenty-five, far surpassing her peers.

She was full of confidence about her future, firmly believing that she would break through to the Soul Elder realm upon graduation.

Since moving into Zero Dormitory, Hu Li Na had not lost a single battle, all challengers falling before her charm.

Hu Li Na approached Tuoba Yan and suddenly clenched her fist, aiming it directly at his eyes. She gritted her teeth in her mind: Dare to "peek" at me bathing? You'll pay a painful price!

"Whoosh!"

The force of her fist tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and it seemed as if her fist was about to strike Tuoba Yan's eyeball.

At the critical moment, Tuoba Yan was quick and nimble, swiftly raising his hand and firmly grasping Hu Li Na's fist.

Having received charm training since childhood, Hu Li Na's skin was delicate and soft, and this sudden touch caused a slight tremor in Tuoba Yan's heart.

"Little brother, you're quite something!"

Hu Li Na once again employed her charm techniques, her voice sweet as honey, while her free left hand also mercilessly swung towards Tuoba Yan's eyes.

However, the same situation unfolded again, and Tuoba Yan effortlessly caught her fist with his left hand.

Hu Li Na widened her eyes, unable to remain composed, her face filled with shock and disbelief as she exclaimed, "How can you be alright? It's impossible, how could you resist my charm?"

Tuoba Yan curved his lips in a smug smile.

It was all thanks to having previously consumed a millennium-old Saint Soul Grass. Although its age wasn't exceptionally high, as a celestial herb, it not only greatly benefited the enhancement of Spirit Power but also strengthened Tuoba Yan's soul resilience.

It was because of this that Tuoba Yan's Spirit Power surpassed Hu Li Na's, almost completely immune to her charm.

At this moment, he had already touched the peak of the Spirit Yuan Realm, his Spirit Power cultivation equivalent to the first realm of the Tang Clan's secret technique, Purple Extreme Divine Eye—Survey.

Without the help of the Saint Soul Grass, relying solely on the Spirit Power he had cultivated through a period of intense training and beatings, he would likely have had to struggle to win this battle today.

"Sorry, I'm your counter." Tuoba Yan smiled smugly, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Want to continue?"

This slight smile, in Hu Li Na's eyes, seemed like blatant mockery.

Hu Li Na was fiercely competitive and would not tolerate failure. She immediately burst into anger, raised a foot, and kicked towards Tuoba Yan.

Tuoba Yan was quick and nimble, drawing his knees together to barely block the kick, and then roared angrily, "You're using a low-class move like a sweeping leg kick? Do you want me to castrate you?!"

After her impulsive action, Hu Li Na looked at the almost erupting anger in Tuoba Yan's eyes and felt a little dazed.

She had never experienced such a fierce battle and was a little flustered by this gaze.

"What are you going to do?"

Tuoba Yan seized her moment of vulnerability, exerted force, and knocked the defenseless Hu Li Na to the ground.

Hu Li Na lay face down, her back towards the sky, just about to struggle to her feet, when Tuoba Yan reacted quickly, plopping down squarely on her lower back and firmly pinning her.

Hu Li Na panicked, her voice rising in pitch: "Hey, what are you doing? I warn you, don't act rashly. If you dare do anything to me, I…"

"Slap!"

A crisp sound shattered the silence.

Hu Li Na's threatening words were cut short by the sharp pain.

The anger that had been building in Tuoba Yan's heart finally erupted. He slapped her repeatedly while angrily scolding, "A child with no upbringing! I said it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Can't you understand human speech? Not only do you refuse to listen to an explanation, but you resort to such a malicious tactic – you deserve this!"

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

The punishing slaps continued to fall, each one carrying Tuoba Yan's frustration and resentment.

A strange, pleasant sensation compelled Tuoba Yan to continue his reprimand.

The next morning, Tuoba Yan finished washing up and stepped out of the villa, just in time to see Tuoba Xi arriving.

"Grandfather, do you need something?"

"How did things go last night? Did you notice the surprise I gave you?"

"Is your surprise referring to Hu Li Na?"

"You really are my grandson, Tuoba Xi, haha, you guessed it." Tuoba Xi no longer concealed anything, explaining with a smile, "I've already inquired about this. Hu Li Na attends the East Academy Junior Soul Master Academy. The Zero Dormitory currently houses only her and her brother, Xie Yue. As the saying goes, those near the water get the first chance to draw it. Yan, I can only help you this far; you must seize this opportunity!"
