"Giggle." Cao Ying laughed, her smile dazzling enough to make one's heart tremble. "If you can beat me, what would be wrong with me going with you?"
"You said it. Just make sure the Cao Family doesn't go back on its word later," Xiao Ze thought with a cold laugh.
Though he had no idea what she was plotting, underestimating him would come at a price.
"Please, Miss Cao Ying."
At that, the smile on Cao Ying's face grew even more alluring. She covered her mouth and giggled. "Since Mr. Xiao Ze has put it that way, then I'll have to make a fool of myself!"
With that, she slowly extended her slender, fair hand and formed a strange seal. As the seal took shape, a tremendous soul force surged from within her. The space before her twisted slightly, and a handprint flickered into view.
The soul force she gathered was only a little stronger than the Soul Phoenix from before, but its power surged at a visibly astonishing rate.
"A soul technique?"
Having read the script thoroughly, Xiao Ze knew this move came from an ancient alchemist. Its power was immense, but unfortunately, most such techniques had long since vanished.
This was the source of Cao Ying's confidence. She believed her soul technique would make defeating Xiao Ze a piece of cake.
Unless he could use a soul technique too. But was that even possible?
That was why she hadn't taken his earlier words seriously at all.
You want to pursue me? You're still not quite good enough...
Just as her face lit up with a smile, Xiao Ze made his move. He didn't know whatever soul technique this was, but he did know Dou Techniques.
With his current soul strength, condensing it into a Dou Technique wasn't difficult.
