A Promising Future

Seeing this, Chen Xing was truly speechless.

What on earth was this? Sneaking in just to catch a glimpse of him?

And doing it while he was taking a bath, no less!

Chen Xing really couldn't fathom Hu Liena's train of thought; he wondered if the woman was missing a few screws in her head.

With her status as the personal disciple of Bibi Dong, she actually stooped to such an unseemly act.

It simply redefined his understanding of "absurd."

However, it seemed she truly held no malicious intent, though the reason she gave was ridiculous, and he didn't fully believe it.

But the current awkward situation was certainly not conducive to further entanglement.

After a moment of contemplation, he took the initiative to disperse the Purple Imperial Bamboo Forest.

The girl, losing her support, collapsed to the floor in an instant, letting out a dull thud.

Hmm... it looked like she had taken quite a solid fall.

But Chen Xing didn't care about that; he didn't even want to look at Hu Liena again.

He merely furrowed his brows, the remnants of his anger still lingering between them, and coldly squeezed a single word from his throat.

"Get out!"

The short word carried an unquestionable finality.

As the fallen Hu Liena looked up, she met Chen Xing's icy gaze.

She seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back down.

Realizing that he was truly letting her go, she hurriedly braced herself against the cold floor tiles to stand up.

Perhaps the shock she had just received was too intense, or perhaps she had been bound by the Purple Imperial Bamboo for too long, but her muscles weren't obeying her; her arms trembled slightly, and she nearly fell again several times.

As the girl struggled to rise, her light brown dress was soaked with water, clinging tightly to her delicate frame.

Chen Xing subconsciously glanced over, and upon clearly seeing the exquisite curves outlined by the fabric, his cheeks inexplicably heated up, and he quickly jerked his gaze away.

Do not look at what is improper! Do not look at what is improper!

What the hell, she's only 15...

Fortunately, she didn't notice his abnormality and just stumbled toward the bathroom door.

It wasn't until her disheveled figure completely vanished from sight and the door was slammed open and hastily shut with a "bang" that Chen Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, raising a hand to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Phew~"

"There isn't a single normal person in Martial Soul Hall!"

He cursed under his breath, his tone filled with helplessness.

First it was Yan's provocation, then this inexplicable intrusion by Hu Liena; he hadn't had a moment of peace since moving in two days ago.

Putting away the Purple Imperial Bamboo, he lay back down in the bathtub.

The warm water enveloped his body, and his previously tense nerves finally began to relax.

But a slight wave of dizziness struck him again, and his head felt heavily clouded.

He rubbed his sore brow with his right hand; where his fingertips touched, he could still feel a faint trace of residual pink soul power.

The spot where he had been hit by her soul skill was clearly still uncomfortable.

It was fortunate that the bracelet given by Ah Yin had activated at the critical moment, otherwise, he really would have fallen victim to this little vixen.

After this ordeal, the medicinal power of the Whale Rubber had been mostly consumed, and the side effects were slowly diminishing.

Chen Xing lay in the bathtub, frowning slightly, and closed his eyes.

This Martial Soul Hall really didn't let anyone rest.

He had only officially moved in for two days, and so many things had already happened.

Thinking about having to go see that woman Bibi Dong later, Chen Xing felt a wave of mental exhaustion.

He didn't know what kind of schemes she would come up with to torment him next.

He really didn't know if coming here was a blessing or a curse...

On the other side.

Hu Liena stumbled back to her dormitory.

As soon as she entered, she collapsed onto the sofa, her entire body drained of all strength.

The stinging pain in her neck remained very distinct, making her believe that everything she had just experienced was not a dream.

She had truly almost been killed just now...

That bastard Chen Xing! He actually dared to lay a hand on her!

After the fear came a sense of extreme grievance.

Although she had been an orphan since she was young, she had been well protected by Xie Yue.

After awakening her Martial Soul, she also had the care and concern of her teacher.

It could be said that she had never experienced any setbacks.

Who would have thought she would be lectured by a six-year-old child who had just arrived at Martial Soul Hall.

Especially that word "scram" he said at the end; what did he take her, Hu Liena, for?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more aggrieved she felt, the more she thought about it.

In the end, she slumped onto the sofa and began to cry again.

Her charm techniques, which had never failed before, had also lost their effect...

No! Her Second Soul Skill had clearly hit him, so why was that guy not affected?

Recalling the moment Chen Xing was hit by Bewitching, Hu Liena gradually stopped crying.

The Demon Fox Martial Soul belonged to the top-tier mental-type beast Martial Souls, and coupled with her unique constitution, the Bewitching skill was always effective; even Bibi Dong held this skill in high regard.

Unless the opponent was a Soul Master whose mental power far exceeded her own, it would never miss.

Moreover, if Chen Xing truly possessed very powerful mental power, her skill would not have just failed, but would have backfired on her.

This point left her extremely confused.

She had heard that Chen Xing was only six years old and had already reached level 30 shortly after awakening his Martial Soul.

She had originally thought he just had a bit more soul power.

As a result, he had taken down Yan in one move yesterday, and today, even in that state of extreme weakness, he was still able to...

And in the end, he even immunized himself against her control soul skill!

This person... he couldn't be a monster, could he!

Inside Chen Xing's dormitory.

The medicinal power of the Whale Rubber had been completely refined, and the side effects had ended.

With that, he could finally put on his clothes in peace.

After drying his body, he took out a dark green robe from his storage ring and put it on.

He raised his arms to stretch his muscles and bones, which emitted a faint "crackling" sound.

After the medicinal power of the Whale Rubber was completely refined, a faint warmth permeated his limbs and bones, and the sense of emptiness caused by the exhaustion of his soul power had vanished completely.

He walked to the window and pushed it open.

The fragrance of green grass drifted into his nostrils, and he closed his eyes contentedly.

Chen Xing took a deep breath, feeling the increasingly abundant soul power within his body, and a faint arc curled at the corners of his mouth.

This scent of nature was the most comfortable thing of all.

Although the current hundred-year Whale Rubber did not have an ideal effect on enhancing his physical fitness, it was better than nothing.

After all, there were almost no impurities in his body, and each time he took it, he only needed to endure the side effects for a short while.

Most importantly, if Bibi Dong continued to train him like this every day in the future.

Then presumably, it wouldn't be long before Chen Xing would completely undergo a transformation.

Personal instruction from a level 99 Peerless Douluo...

Coupled with the Whale Rubber to nourish his body, and his own innate skills Wild Growth and Photosynthesis.

He dared not imagine how fast his growth rate would be!

Thinking of this, the annoyance brought about by Hu Liena just now was swept away, replaced by a heart full of hope for the future.

Once he grew up, he would definitely find that old woman and settle the score!

And that piece of trash Sword Douluo too!

Secretly clenching his fists, the youth's dark purple eyes occasionally flashed with golden light, looking extremely confident and magnificent.

Heh~

Ye Lanyi! Just you wait!
