Dou Technique Delivered to His Door

"What kind of Dou Technique are you looking for? Why not tell me?" A clear voice came from beside the bookshelves.

"Why are you?" Feng Wu looked at the newcomer, surprise showing on his face.

Dressed in a long green tasseled gown, with a yellow ribbon at her waist, autumn-water eyes, and willow-leaf brows... the moment Xiao Xun'er arrived, she drew ninety percent of the attention in the room.

"We don't seem to have much of a relationship, do we?" Although Feng Wu had been taken in by Xiao Yu and had grown up in the Xiao Clan compound.

He had never had much contact with Xiao Xun'er, who had always revolved around Xiao Yan. They merely knew each other, and Feng Wu seemed to have offended her during the Dou Qi test that day.

This woman isn't here to cause trouble for me, is she? Thinking this, Feng Wu looked Xiao Xun'er over several times, growing more suspicious the longer he looked.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Xun'er grew annoyed under Feng Wu's wary, doubtful gaze and asked.

She had always disliked the lecherous looks people gave her. Xiao Xun'er had never expected to be thrown off balance by a completely different kind of look today.

"I was just wondering why you suddenly appeared in front of me for no reason." Leaning against the bookshelf, Feng Wu looked at Xiao Xun'er as he spoke.

He was no naive fool. He knew Xiao Xun'er's background. There was no reason for her to have anything to do with a minor character like him, someone who did not even count as a nameless extra in the original story.

Nor did he foolishly fantasize about some divine script where the protagonist's halo made every woman fall to her knees at first sight.

"If I said it was because you stood up for Brother Xiao Yan a few days ago, would that count as a reason?"

Xiao Xun'er looked at the youth sitting on the ground and fiddling with scrolls without even glancing at her, as though Xiao Xun'er did not exist. A hint of interest arose within her.

This person was somewhat different.

"By standing up for Xiao Yan, I helped you. Then you felt that you owed Feng Wu a favor and wanted to repay it. Is that what you mean?"

After hearing Xiao Xun'er's words, Feng Wu thought for a moment and waved the Dou Technique Scroll in his hand as he asked.

"You can understand it that way. So, what kind of Dou Technique do you want to choose? I think I can help." Xiao Xun'er spoke seriously.

"All right. Though I don't think it was a big deal, there's no reason to turn down a favor that fell into my lap."

Feng Wu knew what kind of power stood behind Xiao Xun'er. If he left the Dou Technique to her, it would definitely work out.

"I need a Dou Technique that can control and blow a forceful wind outward." Feng Wu explained his requirements to Xiao Xun'er in greater detail, then asked, "Well? Can you do it?"

Feng Wu was not some rigid old-fashioned man. He did not care about saving face or whether he was taking advantage of a woman.

Besides, given the strength behind Xiao Xun'er, wasn't it just a little Blowing Palm? The principle was not difficult.

Even if the Ancient Clan did not have one, they could create one for Feng Wu overnight.

"Fine, leave it to me. Once I find it, I'll personally deliver it to you." Xiao Xun'er accepted without the slightest hesitation.

"All right. Once you bring me the Dou Technique, we'll be even. You won't need to feel that you owe me a favor anymore."

Feng Wu's tone made it clear that he did not want to become too entangled with her. Xiao Xun'er, who had just turned to leave, paused in her tracks.

"In the future, it would be better to let Xiao Yan repay this kind of favor himself. He's a man!"

"Hmph! That's none of your concern. Rest assured, Brother Xiao Yan will definitely rise again!" Xiao Xun'er snorted coldly at Feng Wu's words, then turned and left.

"Hehe, ah, I didn't expect the complementary Soul Technique for Absorption Palm to be settled so easily. Xiao Yan has such a little rich girl by his side and doesn't know how to live off her. What a waste."

With the matter resolved, Feng Wu patted his backside and left. As for those last words that lowered Xiao Xun'er's favorability, he had said them deliberately.

It was better to keep some distance from a clever woman like her.

Otherwise, who knew when Xiao Xun'er might pull Feng Wu into Xiao Yan's trench and make him work his life away for Xiao Yan.

"My cheap big sister, whose left brain had been replaced with a bear and right brain with a leg, is still better." Perhaps it was the lingering will of this body, but Feng Wu had found himself missing Xiao Yu from time to time these past few days.

Five more days passed before Feng Wu slowly circulated his Dou Qi and finished his training. The old tree in the courtyard was now riddled with long, narrow pits.

Feng Wu had just made those.

Just as Feng Wu was about to tidy up and make lunch.

"Knock, knock, knock!" A knocking sound came from outside the courtyard.

"Who is it?" Feng Wu was puzzled. Ever since Sister Xiao Yu had gone to Canaan Academy, hardly anyone came here besides Xiao Ning, who was Xiao Yu's biological younger brother.

"It's me, Xiao Xun'er!"

So soon? Only then did Feng Wu remember the little private deal he and Xiao Xun'er had made in the Dou Technique Hall a few days ago. He had not expected it to happen this quickly.

Her efficiency was rather high. She had already found it.

Since she had come bearing a gift, Feng Wu hurriedly opened the gate. Xiao Xun'er stood outside, holding a green scroll in her hand.

The moment she saw Feng Wu, she did not waste any words. She directly tossed the Dou Technique Scroll to him and said, "Here's what you wanted. No need to see me off."

With that, she turned and left without looking back.

"Quite proud, aren't you?" Feng Wu did not try to stop her. He closed the courtyard gate and opened the scroll to inspect it.

"Whoa, what a generous gift! As expected of the Ancient Clan's little princess—she really is lavish!"

The description of the Dou Technique read: Profound Rank Mid Grade Dou Technique—Cloud Dispelling Hand. It was even a rank higher than the Fire Blowing Palm Yao Lao had given Xiao Yan!

Feng Wu sighed inwardly. "Having a powerful backer really is great. You can give away Profound Rank cultivation methods and Dou Techniques however you please."

Thinking of the other things Xiao Xun'er had done, she had given Xiao Yan the Profound Rank High Grade cultivation method Flame Manipulation Art and the Earth Rank High Grade Dou Technique Emperor Seal Technique...

"Xiao Yan has a rich woman supporting him. Why would he still need to work hard for cheat abilities?"

Feng Wu fully unfolded the Dou Technique Scroll, and every movement and key point of the Cloud Dispelling Palm appeared before his eyes.

Cloud Dispelling Palm: Profound Rank Mid Grade Dou Technique

When trained to Major Completion, a wave of the hand creates wind; when unleashed, it can scatter clouds! When wind strikes, it may travel a hundred and eight thousand li!

This was the description written on the Dou Technique Scroll itself.

According to the system's assessment, Cloud Dispelling Palm had potential similar to Absorption Palm, placing it around the middle-to-upper range.

Yet the requirements for raising a Profound Rank Mid Grade Dou Technique to Profound Rank High Grade were even more terrifying. Feng Wu needed a full 200 experience points!

Cloud Dispelling Palm was not especially difficult to cultivate. With his experience training Absorption Palm, Feng Wu had roughly mastered this Soul Technique in only around two hours.

"Absorption Palm!" Feng Wu activated the Soul Technique toward an Apricot Tree in the distance. The tree swayed and tilted toward him.

"Cloud Dispelling Palm!" Next, Feng Wu changed the movement of his hand, and the palm wind that had originally been suction suddenly transformed!

It became a far more violent blast of wind in the opposite direction!

All he heard was—

"Bang! Crack—!"

The Apricot Tree snapped in half at its waist, spraying out splinters and wood chips!

Its power could not be mentioned in the same breath as before!

"Hahaha, good!" Feng Wu was overjoyed as he looked at the power of Absorption Palm combined with Cloud Dispelling Palm. "This power isn't any weaker than the Mountain Splitting Palm that just advanced to Profound Rank Low Grade!"
