Tushan Yu chuckled and walked over, gently placing a hand on Cen Yu's shoulder.
"I'm not an examiner~ But, well... I could be."
To be your examiner for once? It'd be my honor~
As he spoke, he chuckled and gathered colorful energy in his hand.
"Look~ This is the Nine-Tailed Fox King's power, the Nine-Colored Power."
"As long as you can master it, the powers of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness will all be at your command."
"When you grow stronger~ you'll master life, destruction, light, darkness, time, space, order, creation, and reincarnation."
"Finally, when they come together, they become chaos."
The next moment, the Nine-Colored Power enveloped Cen Yu, and he slowly floated into the air.
"Senior, what is this?"
The young man felt the energy surrounding him, puzzled.
So this is the Nine-Colored Power? No wonder he's the Fox King. It feels so powerful... Under this power, I can't even move.
But this is strange. Why do I feel a strange affinity with this energy?
Could it be because I'm a Chaos Sky Fox?
Soon, a drop of blood shimmering with nine-colored light flew from between Tushan Yu's brows and sank straight into Cen Yu's body.
In an instant, terrifying Nine-Colored Divine Light shot out in every direction.
In the blink of an eye, everything around them shattered to pieces, turning into fragments of space that reflected the nine colors.
Amid this scene, a sudden surge of mist swept over, and Cen Yu's body slowly dissolved into specks of light.
For an instant, it seemed as though every sound in heaven and earth had vanished.
In the illusory mist, a pair of mesmerizing eyes lit up first.
Then, a snowy-white figure slowly stepped through the veil of illusion.
It was a nine-tailed fox, its entire body snow-white and its fur immaculate.
With each graceful step, a radiant golden mark slowly appeared on its forehead, proclaiming the supreme nobility of its bloodline.
Even the Fox King Mark, a symbol of supreme honor, could not compare.
Then, as its nine tails swayed gently, energy in three colors—gold, purple, and blood red—began to flow around the nine-tailed fox.
At the sight, Tushan Yu nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad~ You awakened your bloodline so quickly. You really are a descendant of my... Tushan clan~"
Cen Yu turned to look at the nine enormous, fluffy tails behind him and exclaimed, "So I really am a fox?"
Nine tails? Didn't that mean he was really strong now?
Thinking this, the young man willed it to happen.
At once, a powerful surge of energy roiled through his meridians.
The next moment, his snowy-white fox body rippled like water.
In the blink of an eye, his beast form faded away, and the young man's slender figure reappeared.
Behind him, nine fluffy tails swished back and forth, adorably.
"Huh?"
Looking at the still-dazed young man before him, Tushan Yu smiled and explained, "Don't rush. You've only just awakened, so it's natural that you're not used to it yet."
"Give it a little more time, and you'll be able to control it with ease."
As he spoke, he casually raised a hand and swept it lightly through the air.
"Vmmm—!"
The shattered space instantly mended, transforming into a lush, verdant place.
"Now that you've successfully awakened your bloodline, next~ you'll be learning spells from me~"
"After all~ we're not the sort of foxes who need to fight with our bodies. Naturally, we'll focus on spells~"
Tushan Yu's voice drifted lightly over. "There are many spells you could learn, but I'd like to start by teaching you this one~"
Was this a little bit of his own mischievousness? Hehe~ Of course not. This was practically an innate spell of the fox clan~
"What?" Cen Yu blinked, looking at the man beside him in confusion.
"Mm~ What I'm going to teach you is what people commonly call—the Charm Technique~"
As he spoke, Tushan Yu's lips curled into a faint smile. He didn't make any grand gestures, merely smiled gently at the barren land.
In an instant, a mind-bewitching mist spread out from him.
Then, within a thousand li, countless shoots burst from the earth, budding and blossoming in turn!
In the space of a single breath, flowers filled the sky, and a sweet, intoxicating fragrance suffused the air.
"The so-called Charm Technique~ isn't about striking a pose and putting on airs. It's about making all things fall for you and driving all living beings wild with desire."
"Once you reach a certain level of cultivation, all it'll take is a single glance~"
Tushan Yu strolled through the sea of flowers, glancing back at Cen Yu, who was staring in astonishment.
"Wha..."
The next moment, the sea of flowers before the young man blurred, and a warm sensation spread from the back of his neck.
To him, it was as if nothing else remained in heaven and earth but those smiling eyes.
"Did you fall for it just like that?" Tushan Yu asked with keen interest. "Have you learned it?"
At his words, Cen Yu snapped back to his senses, only then realizing that he'd somehow been bewitched.
"Senior, you..."
Senior is too powerful... Even after awakening my bloodline and growing so strong, I was still controlled so easily.
And then the young man thought of something even more terrifying.
If it hadn't been Tushan Yu who did this to me, but an enemy... I'd probably already be dead.
After all, an enemy wouldn't show mercy.
At the sight, the smile in Tushan Yu's eyes deepened.
He walked over, bent down slightly, and gently lifted Cen Yu's chin with his long fingers.
"What I just used was only one of countless spells~"
"The fox clan has passed down its traditions through the ages, and even the so-called Charm Technique comes in countless forms."
"For a nine-tailed fox, your gaze, scent, words, and even your tails can all serve as conduits for the Charm Technique~"
With that, Tushan Yu slowly withdrew his hand and stepped back, putting some distance between them.
"All right~ Warm-up's over."
"Now, let me see what you can do?"
Let me guess~ Judging by his preferences, the little guy will start with ice, right?
If I remember correctly, he really likes the ice element~
Sure enough, the next moment—
The water element in the air swiftly gathered in Cen Yu's hand.
In the blink of an eye, a ball of azure water swirled in his palm.
Then, with a thought from the young man, the water's temperature plunged, instantly turning it into a gigantic, razor-sharp icicle.
"Senior, forgive my rudeness!"
In an instant, the icicle tore through space and shot straight toward Tushan Yu.
But in the next moment, something astonishing happened.
Cen Yu's attack had been casual, but its power was such that even several of his past selves together could never have blocked it.
And yet, Tushan Yu didn't even need to raise a hand. His protective spiritual energy stopped the attack.
