Chen Xiaojun looked at the resentment in Xi Xi's expression and could not help sighing inwardly. This girl... why does she love getting stuck on things so much? She's fallen into self-doubt now?
Still, he more or less understood the tendency women had to compare themselves with one another. Though Xi Xi and Xiao Yi were close, Xiao Yi's outstanding performance in battle had undoubtedly placed enormous pressure on Xi Xi, even stirring a trace of inferiority in her.
He gently patted Xi Xi on the shoulder and comforted her. "Xi Xi, you're only Level 34 right now, yet you were already able to hold out against a high-level Soul Emperor with a Top Martial Soul. When you reach rank 44 like Xiao Yi, your strength definitely won't be any worse than hers."
"You have to believe in yourself. Your potential and talent are both top-tier."
When Xi Xi heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed through her eyes, and she looked up at Chen Xiaojun. "Really?"
Chen Xiaojun smiled and nodded. "Really. Truer than real gold."
"Think about it. Leaving aside that Blood Scythe Soul Saint, whom you only exchanged one move with, that Soul Emperor's martial soul was the Mountain Piercing Great Hammer! That's a martial soul even I find troublesome."
When Xi Xi heard this, her eyes widened slightly, then shone with excitement. She asked curiously, "Is the Mountain Piercing Great Hammer really that strong? You're not allowed to lie to me. If you lie to me, you're a puppy."
Chen Xiaojun nodded firmly and replied, "Fine, fine... if I lie to you, I'm a puppy. Happy now, little grandaunt?"
He took a breath, then continued, "This Mountain Piercing Great Hammer martial soul is, of course, strong. You should have been able to feel its extraordinary power.
