Martial Soul Attribute Purification

Even so, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't back down now, so she had to bite the bullet and go for it.

While preparing, she took out her personal soul guidance terminal and quietly sent a message to Xie Xie, telling him about Qiangu Zhangting and adding, "Qiangu Zhangting is already calling Uncle-Master Qianzhao 'brother'! Xie Xie, you have no chance."

Everyone could see how Xie Xie felt about Yun Qianyue.

At that very moment, Xie Xie, who was training with Tang Wulin, received the message and cried out in misery, "No! How can this be..."

"What's wrong?"

Tang Wulin was startled by Xie Xie's sudden outburst and looked at him strangely.

Xie Xie showed the message to Tang Wulin and lamented, "Uncle-Master Qianyue has been snatched up by this Qiangu Zhangting!"

Tang Wulin looked at the message with a strange expression. He glanced at Xie Xie and asked, "Do you really have feelings for Uncle-Master Qianyue?"

Xie Xie shook his head. Under Tang Wulin's curious gaze, he said earnestly, "It's not just feelings; it's love at first sight! Ever since you were in deep meditation last time, Boss, I fell for her at first sight! I've never seen a young lady with such temperament."

Watching the expression on Xie Xie's face as he described his impression of Yun Qianyue, Tang Wulin fell silent.

He didn't know what was going on, but when Xie Xie said he had fallen in love with Yun Qianyue at first sight, he actually felt a sense of discomfort!

It was very strange, and it shouldn't have been happening.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and rubbed his brow. Perhaps he was just too tired lately, or maybe hearing about the genius exploits of the Yun Qianyue siblings so often had led to these strange thoughts.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Xie Xie didn't know what Tang Wulin was thinking, and seeing his expression, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Tang Wulin shook his head and said to Xie Xie, "If you really have feelings for Uncle-Master Qianyue, you don't need to worry about Qiangu Zhangting. He is the heir to the Spirit Pagoda; it is absolutely impossible for him to be with Uncle-Master Qianyue."

"Ah? Why?"

Xie Xie blinked, looking at Tang Wulin in a daze.

Seeing his slow reaction, Tang Wulin sighed helplessly. "Because the relationship between the Academy and the Spirit Pagoda is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface! Haven't you heard Teacher Wu mention this?"

Xie Xie shook his head: "No!"

Under Tang Wulin's helpless gaze, he pouted and added, "I'm not you! Why would Teacher Wu tell me such things? But... according to what you're saying, Boss, this Qiangu Zhangting is just daydreaming about Uncle-Master Qianyue?"

"Exactly," Tang Wulin nodded.

"Great! Then I must pursue Uncle-Master Qianyue!"

Xie Xie suddenly raised his fist high and said with a serious face, "Boss, just wait to call me Uncle-Master!"

"There's no such title..."

Tang Wulin felt helpless at Xie Xie's words.

After sending the message to Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan began to prepare seriously. She had already obtained her third soul ring and become a three-ring Soul Elder.

However, facing Yun Qianzhao, who had a cultivation level of forty-seven and a martial soul that absolutely countered hers, Xu Xiaoyan knew she had no chance of winning.

She bit the bullet and walked to the open space, standing opposite Yun Qianzhao.

Before starting, Xu Xiaoyan pressed her palms together and pleaded, "Uncle-Master Qianzhao, please go easy on me!"

Looking at the pitiful Xu Xiaoyan, Yun Qianzhao smiled for once. He reassured her, "Don't worry, this isn't an assessment or a life-or-death struggle. We'll stop once we've made our point."

"Yay!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded happily.

However, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't stay happy for long.

Although Yun Qianzhao was only sparring, the gap in strength between them was too great. The difference of over ten levels of soul power, combined with the absolute suppression of their martial soul attributes, meant that Xu Xiaoyan felt immense pressure just by manifesting her martial soul in front of him.

After a few exchanges, Xu Xiaoyan had exhausted all her soul power. She leaned on her knees, gasping for air.

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan nearly drained, Yun Qianzhao handed her a towel: "Wipe your sweat."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master Qianzhao!" Xu Xiaoyan's face flushed red as she took the towel to wipe the sweat from her face.

Watching her, Yun Qianzhao said, "Your martial soul quality is good, but it possesses two attributes: extreme ice and the starry sky. While both can support your control abilities, they have never been able to fully integrate."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan nodded quickly: "That's right! Uncle-Master Qianzhao, Teacher Wu has said the same, but I don't know how to solve the problem of the two attributes in my martial soul failing to integrate..."

"There are only two ways to purify martial soul attributes: one is to directly remove the unwanted attribute, and the other is to strengthen the desired attribute until it reaches a level of absolute suppression, then completely assimilate the other."

Yun Qianzhao looked at Xu Xiaoyan and offered his own solution: "My martial soul power can help you purify your martial soul attributes, but it can only leave the starry sky attribute in your Star Wheel Ice Staff."

"If you want the ice attribute, you'll have to go find Qianyue."

After Yun Qianzhao finished speaking, Xu Xiaoyan said without hesitation, "The starry sky! I only want to keep the starry sky attribute! So, Uncle-Master Qianzhao, please help me erase the ice attribute from my martial soul! Please!"

Xu Xiaoyan even bowed to Yun Qianzhao.

Yun Qianzhao stepped aside, not accepting her grand gesture. Purifying martial soul attributes was a trivial matter for him—it didn't even count as a minor effort.

"It seems the lad finally has the look of a teacher!"

Just as Yun Qianzhao was explaining the purification of martial souls to Xu Xiaoyan, Zhuo Shi walked over from the side with a smile on his face.

"Grandmaster!" Seeing him arrive, Xu Xiaoyan hurriedly bowed and greeted him respectfully.

Yun Qianzhao also nodded in greeting: "Elder Zhuo!"

Zhuo Shi nodded and looked toward Xu Xiaoyan, asking, "How was it? Did you gain much?"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded hurriedly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Yun Qianzhao: "Yes! Uncle-Master Qianzhao helped me a great deal!"

Zhuo Shi looked at Xu Xiaoyan, then at Yun Qianzhao, his face beaming with a smile.

Yun Qianzhao felt his gaze was somewhat strange and couldn't help but frown as he asked, "Why are you here, Elder Zhuo? Are you worried that I wouldn't be able to teach your grand-disciple well, so you came to inspect me personally?"

"You brat, of course I trust your abilities!" Zhuo Shi scolded with a laugh before adding, "I have other matters to discuss with you. Since Xiaoyan happens to be here as well, come along with me."

Hearing this, Yun Qianzhao found it strange. He didn't have much interaction with Zhuo Shi, so what business could the man possibly have with him? If it were academy matters, wouldn't Ya Li usually be the one to come?

Yun Qianzhao furrowed his brows in thought, but he soon became even more perplexed.

Because Ya Li had gone to see Yun Qianyue.
