Chen Xin: Clean Up Your Own Mess

Chen Xin froze.

He was about to refuse.

But when he thought of the boy's physical condition, a flicker of hope suddenly rose in his heart.

That was right.

Others might only be able to absorb a four-hundred-year spirit ring at most.

But Su Li... he might create a miracle.

Chen Xin hesitated.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had finally produced a genius. They could not let him die from his body exploding after absorbing a spirit beast beyond his limit.

No matter how he looked at it,

he should not agree.

After a brief silence, Chen Xin stared seriously into his eyes. "Are you sure?"

Su Li nodded solemnly. "I'm sure."

The two looked at each other for several seconds. After Chen Xin felt Su Li's arm once more and confirmed the strength of his body, he finally made his decision.

"I'll knock it out for you. The rest is up to you."

As soon as he spoke,

Chen Xin vanished from sight.

The next second,

the Glimmer Beast had been happily lying on a rock basking in the sun when a huge slap came down, knocking it unconscious on the spot.

Looking at the spirit beast tossed at his feet, Su Li could not help marveling at how nice it was to have a bodyguard.

He did not even have to do it himself.

"Use your sword to pierce its head."

"Then sit down and absorb it."

"If anything goes wrong, I'll step in and forcibly interrupt it."

Su Li nodded to show that he understood.

After swiftly killing the Glimmer Beast before him, he sat cross-legged and began absorbing it.

As Ning Rongrong watched him begin absorbing the spirit ring, her heart suddenly tightened for some reason.

Her hands rose to her chest, fingers clutching at her collar as worry welled up inside her.

"Idiot! Why did you have to push yourself so hard?!"

"A four-hundred-year one would have been fine! It's not like there's only one spirit beast on the continent!"

Ning Rongrong anxiously paced back and forth. Especially when she saw the pained expression on Su Li's face, her little face flushed red.

Chen Xin leaned expressionlessly against a tree. Watching Ning Rongrong pace about, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

This girl...

She said she did not care.

Yet she was even more anxious than he was.

Gradually,

Su Li's expression changed from pain to calm.

The girl's mood also improved slightly.

As time passed,

the color of the spirit ring faded, until it was completely absorbed by Su Li.

His aura had also grown much stronger.

His spirit power jumped from level ten to level thirteen.

"He succeeded?"

Ning Rongrong was startled. Feeling the power radiating from the boy, she could not help swallowing.

So strong.

If he faced that black panther again, he might be able to slash it to death with ease.

Su Li opened his eyes and saw the girl in pink standing before him.

The two of them were rather close.

For a moment, their eyes met as they looked at each other.

Thump, thump, thump~

Ning Rongrong's heart suddenly raced.

She hurriedly backed away a few steps, turned her head aside, and said abruptly with reddened ears, "Congratulations."

After saying that, she walked off to the side and began fussing with the Cluck-Cluck she had picked up.

Su Li glanced at the girl's back, then rose and looked at Chen Xin, who was walking toward him.

"Not bad. A six-hundred-year first spirit ring... perhaps the record in the spirit master world will need to be revised."

Chen Xin smiled approvingly.

After patting Su Li's shoulder in satisfaction, he continued asking,

"How is your first spirit skill?"

Holding the Pure Jun Sword and looking at the spirit ring beneath his feet, Su Li said excitedly, "When attacking an enemy, I can split off seven blades of light. They can attack and blind at the same time."

"At the same time, my attack and speed increase by fifty percent, and the effect doubles against dark creatures!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that the blinding effect also has purification properties."

Chen Xin was slightly surprised upon hearing that.

He had not expected

a mere first spirit ring to provide so many boosts.

"Not bad. I'm rather curious about how effective this blinding effect is."

"Use it and let me see."

Su Li nodded.

Without another word, he activated his first spirit skill.

"Shine—Blind!"

Crack!

The seven light blades condensed by the Pure Jun Sword swiftly formed a ball of light.

Then, with a bang,

Ultimate Daylight bloomed instantly.

Ning Rongrong, who was fussing with Cluck-Cluck, curiously turned around to look, only to—

"Ahhh! Su Li, what are you doing?!"

"My eyes!"

Ning Rongrong covered her eyes.

At that moment, she felt as if she had seen her late grandmother.

Her vision instantly blurred.

Chen Xin also had to raise a hand to shield himself, inwardly marveling at the sight.

If used in a surprise attack, it would definitely catch an opponent off guard.

With such a wide-range blinding effect,

the caster would have an absolute offensive advantage for a short period of time!

Five seconds later,

the ball of light vanished.

Chen Xin lowered the arm shielding him from the glare and could not help praising, "If used well, this spirit skill can absolutely catch an enemy by surprise.

"For five seconds, the enemy's vision is obstructed and they cannot see anything. That is your best opportunity to attack."

"As for the power of purification... I cannot feel it at the moment. Perhaps we need to find a dark-attributed spirit beast to test it on."

Chen Xin suddenly thought of the black panther that had died not long ago.

He silently mourned for it for half a second.

It had died at the wrong time.

The two grown men chatted away, seemingly forgetting that there was a delicate and adorable girl nearby, covering her eyes and quietly shedding tears.

"Su! Li!"

"I never want to talk to you again!"

"My eyes, sob sob sob~"

Looking at the girl crying on the ground, the two of them felt somewhat at a loss.

This was bad.

They had been so focused on testing the skill that they had overlooked the little girl.

Chen Xin awkwardly cleared his throat, clasped his hands behind his back, and calmly looked at Su Li beside him. "You caused this. Clean it up yourself."

After saying that,

he quickened his pace and left as if fleeing.

In the blink of an eye,

he was gone.

Su Li: "..."

He felt like he had been sold out.

Sword Douluo was far too unreliable.

Looking at Ning Rongrong throwing a tantrum on the ground, Su Li sighed helplessly.

He had forgotten to warn her before using his spirit skill.

Forget it, forget it.

He had to own up to what he had done.

Su Li walked over, crouched in front of her, forced what he believed was an apologetic smile, and said, "Young Sect Master, how about I apologize to you?"

Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks and gave a cold snort before lowering her hands.

Her reddened eyes were filled with grievance.

Hiss~

Why did he suddenly want to laugh?

No, he had to hold it in.

After Ning Rongrong's vision recovered, she saw the smile on his face and became even more furious.

This guy!

Was he laughing at her?!

Damn it!!!

"I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Ning Rongrong stood up and stormed forward angrily.

Su Li grabbed her arm and said expressionlessly, "Young Sect Master, you're going the wrong way."

"It's that way."

Ning Rongrong's pretty face reddened, and her cheeks burned with embarrassment.

"I know! You don't need to tell me!"

After brushing past him again, the girl shot him a vicious glare, stomped on his feet twice, then swung her braid and strode forward.

Su Li looked at the shoes that had been stepped on by her tiny feet and unconsciously touched the tip of his nose.

If it had been somewhere else...

Pah, pah, pah!

That would be a crime!

First of all, this proved that he was not into little girls.

Secondly,

he really did not have those kinds of thoughts.
