Hu Liena, do you still want it?

The commotion in the Zero Dormitory courtyard immediately caught Hu Li Na's attention within the villa.

She swiftly rose from bed like an arrow released from a bow, hurrying to the glass window to gaze down at the courtyard where Tuoba Yan and Tuoba Xi were facing off.

"That's… Tuoba Xi!"

As students at the academy, studying prominent figures was a mandatory part of the curriculum.

Although Hu Li Na had never met Tuoba Xi before, the person before her was indistinguishable from the portrait in the textbook; she recognized him at a glance.

What exactly had happened just now?

Hu Li Na was filled with confusion. She only saw Tuoba Xi looking slightly disheveled, but still giving a thumbs-up to the boy who shared a dormitory with him.

The soundproofing of the glass window was excellent. Standing by the windowsill, she couldn't hear the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, but she could see that boy facing away from him, occasionally taking out a piece of paper from a Storage Soul Guide Device and sometimes producing a water ball, his actions utterly inscrutable.

Hu Li Na stopped paying attention and turned to get dressed and wash up.

Tuoba Xi broke the silence first.

"Yan'er, what was that Self-Created Soul Skill you used just now? It's quite powerful!"

"Powerful… just quite powerful?"

Tuoba Yan's gaze turned towards the wall where Tuoba Xi's recessed figure remained, seemingly filled with deeper meaning.

Tuoba Xi coughed awkwardly and urged, "Give it a little more credit; you're easily impressed. Tell me, what was that Self-Created Soul Skill?"

"Want to learn it? I'll teach you."

Tuoba Yan then spread the paper on the ground and took out ink and a brush, drawing a black dot on the paper. "Look at the white paper in my hand. I'm sure you're looking at the black dot in the middle, right?"

This question caused Tuoba Xi's expression to falter, and he was secretly shocked. How could Tuoba Yan, who didn't have Mind Reading Soul Skills, know where his gaze was directed?

"When something appears in the blank space, it creates a focus, and your attention naturally concentrates on it."

Saying this, Tuoba Yan put the paper away and took out a rubber ball, filling a basin with water and walking to Tuoba Xi with the water ball, demonstrating and explaining patiently as he went.

"Release your Soul Power, infuse it into the water ball. Remember, it's not just about using your Soul Power to burst the water ball, but about using your Soul Power to swirl the water within it, causing the water ball to rupture on its own. This is the first stage of training."

As Soul Power continuously rotated within the water ball, a "bang" echoed as the water ball exploded.

Considering his grandfather's thoughtful care, Tuoba Yan explained in detail without reservation.

"The trick is quite simple. The Soul Power you release must be in the same direction as the Soul Power flowing within your body. If your body's Soul Power flows to the left, then the Soul Power you infuse into the water ball should also rotate to the left, and vice versa. This Self-Created Soul Skill can be performed as long as you have Soul Power. It's a technique even a fool could learn."

Tuoba Xi muttered in disbelief, "What if I can't learn it…?"

Tuoba Yan teased, "That would mean you're even dumber than a fool. The second stage requires no water ball; simply condense your Soul Power in your palm to form a spiral wind sphere. The third stage is even simpler; use your spiral ball to strike the target directly!"

Having said that, he walked to a tree, raised his hand, and Soul Power condensed into a spiral ball in his palm, launching it forcefully at the large tree.

"Boom!"

The tree split in half, the cut end showing a spiral-shaped indentation.

Tuoba Xi was shocked and quickly asked, "What's the name of this Soul Skill?"

"Rasengan."

"Where did you learn it?"

"I created it."

"Don't be ridiculous. You couldn't possibly create such a refined Self-Created Soul Skill. You've been borrowing a lot of ancient texts from the Martial Soul Hall recently; come on, admit it, you learned it from those texts, didn't you?"

Tuoba Xi looked skeptical.

How old is Tuoba Yan? Only six years old.

A six-year-old child created a Self-Created Soul Skill that could be passed down through generations.

Tuoba Xi didn't believe it. She had heard of those geniuses who created Soul Skills through countless hours of practice, but they were all those who had comprehended related Soul Skills through endless refinement.

Just as Tuoba Yan was about to respond, a captivating voice came from the entrance.

"Hey, are you two trying to tear the house down?"

Looking up, she saw Hu Li Na, having finished washing up, walking towards them gracefully.

Tuoba Xi patted his grandson's shoulder, his eyes full of implication, and deliberately glanced in Hu Li Na's direction, as if saying: Hu Li Na is quite good-looking; Yan'er, seize the opportunity!

"Alright, Grandpa has something to do. I'll leave first. When your Soul Power reaches level twenty, Grandpa will take you to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings!" Having given his instructions, Tuoba Xi turned and left Zero Dormitory.

Tuoba Yan remembered that today was the first day of school and turned to walk towards the entrance.

But just as he took a few steps, he was stopped by Hu Li Na.

He dodged to the left, and Hu Li Na quickly caught up; he dodged to the right, and she blocked him again.

"What's up?" Tuoba Yan's tone was cold.

In his eyes, the Martial Soul Hall had four fools.

And as for Hu Li Na, who was hopelessly devoted to Tang San, he simply wasn't interested.

Hu Li Na smiled, "I wasn't fully prepared last night. I want to have another match with you."

"I refuse."

Tuoba Yan coldly rejected him without hesitation.

This took Hu Li Na completely by surprise.

She always believed she was unmatched, having mastered Charm Arts and attracting numerous admirers at the academy, all of whom were utterly captivated by her.

She was certain that while other women might be more beautiful, none could match her allure.

However, Tuoba Yan was an exception.

Just as Hu Li Na was stunned, Tuoba Yan had already circled past her, gradually increasing his distance.

This ignited a surge of anger within her.

She detested failure, and even more so, being treated with cold indifference.

She clenched her fists, quickly turning around. Two Soul Rings descended from her head as her fox Martial Soul instantly manifested, her eyes filled with a captivating charm and a resolute glint.

"You have no say in the matter!"

Before her words could even finish, Hu Li Na moved like a Ghostly Figure, launching a swift and fierce attack.

Tuoba Yan was caught off guard, and her sudden assault left him somewhat flustered.

Hu Li Na's punches and kicks rained down like a fierce storm, each move precise and intricate.

While hastily dodging, Tuoba Yan felt a growing sense of annoyance. After several exchanges, he was already thoroughly entangled.

Tuoba Yan leaped backward, creating some distance between them. Anger began to swell in his heart as he stared at the relentlessly persistent Hu Li Na, a flicker of murderous intent passing through his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Hu Li Na might be a bit impulsive, but she hadn't done anything wrong yet. Even if she might make mistakes in the future, that was a problem for then.

Future Hu Li Na might deserve to be killed, but killing her now would be unreasonable.

It would be no different than the actions of a madman.

Besides, her parents had perished due to the Spirit Hall's affairs; she was truly pitiable.

He wouldn't kill her, but she was so difficult to deal with. Tuoba Yan felt a headache coming on. What should he do?

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed in Tuoba Yan's eyes as he asked, "Do you really want to spar with me?"

"You can't refuse." Hu Li Na's tone was firm.

"Are you sure?"

"I will definitely win."

As she spoke, Hu Li Na launched another attack.

"Dragon Step."

Tuoba Yan instantly unleashed his speed to its peak, his pupils momentarily turning golden, rapidly enhancing his perception and reaction ability. Hu Li Na's attacks all missed.

In the next second, Hu Li Na felt Tuoba Yan's figure spin, circling behind her, and then a sudden, sharp pain.

"Thousand Year Kill!"

"Ah!"

A scream echoed as Hu Li Na was launched backward like a released arrow.

After landing, she quickly turned around, her face flushed red, one hand covering her injured area, and the other pointing at Tuoba Yan, a mixture of shame and anger in her expression, "You…"

Tuoba Yan, before she could finish her sentence, preemptively laughed, "What's wrong? Do you only allow yourself to use a Low Blow Kick, but not allow me to use Thousand Year Kill?"
