Tang San nodded and drew a few circles on the paper:

This is how I see it.

The Skywater Academy's use of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires charging and channeling time, which is its weakness, but this is extremely difficult.

"So there's a second way. I can use my fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Cage, to build multiple layers of defensive shields on the outermost layer. My Blue Silver Grass has been fused with Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, making it far more resilient and harder than ordinary plant Martial Soul."

"At this moment, Lin Xuan, you should coordinate by casting the Ice Talisman and the Blazing Fire Talisman. The Ice-Suppressing Talisman will weaken the extreme cold, Blazing Fire Talisman will release high temperatures to counteract the frost damage from the blizzard."

Tang San put away his pen and looked confidently at everyone:

"With two layers of protection, withstanding the direct impact of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill shouldn't be too difficult. Once their Soul Power is exhausted, that's our moment to counterattack."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan immediately nodded in agreement; this method was indeed excellent.

"The approach is sound, so let's stick to this plan. Tomorrow on the field, everyone should be flexible and adaptable to different situations."

Meeting adjourned! Meeting adjourned!

Ning Rongrong stretched out a big yawn, her graceful waist relaxing in the process.

"After tomorrow's game, I'll have a month-long vacation, and I can finally get some rest."

Xiao Wu let go of Lin Xuan's arm, stood up, winked at Lin Xuan, and followed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing into the room.

Tai Long and the others also left.

Jiangzhu tidied up the empty plates on the table, smiled and greeted Lin Xuan and Tang San, then turned and went back to the girls' dormitory.

Only Lin Xuan and Tang San remained in the courtyard.

Tang San closed the tactics booklet on the stone table and casually put it into the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night.

He didn't go back inside immediately, but instead shifted to a more relaxed sitting position on the stone bench.

Tang San glanced towards the backyard for a moment, then turned to face Lin Xuan directly:

"Vice Sect Master, now that we're alone, I'd like to ask you about something personal."

Lin Xuan said with great interest:

"Personal matters? You usually spend your time forging Hidden Weapon and tinkering with hidden weapons. When did you become interested in gossip?"

Tang San raised his hand and scratched the tip of his nose, getting straight to the point:

"Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhuqing, all three of them like you. What are your true feelings?"

Lin Xuan paused, turned his head and asked:

Want to hear the truth?

Tang San nodded:

"Of course, why would the two of us need to hide anything from each other?"

Lin Xuan leaned back against the stone chair, stretched out his long legs, and answered crisply and decisively:

"Of course, I want them all!"

Tang San was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Tang San thought Lin Xuan would hesitate, be conflicted, or even make excuses about being too young, but he never expected Lin Xuan to answer so confidently.

Lin Xuan looked at Tang San and said loudly:

"In my life, Lin Xuan, only brothers and beauties are the two things I will never betray."

"I'm not blind, how could I not sense what those three women are thinking about me?"

"But it's too early to make it clear now; my strength is still too weak."

Tang San couldn't help but interrupt him:

"Level 50 Soul King at fourteen years old? You can't find another one like him in the entire Douluo Continent. You call that weak?"

Lin Xuan shook his head:

"While he's certainly outstanding among his peers, compared to those truly colossal beings, Soul King is simply no match."

"Rongrong is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if Rongrong were willing to become my people along with Xiaowu and the Xiao Wu, would Sect Master Ning and the two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be willing?"

"Zhuqing is from the Zhu Family family of the Star Luo Empire. Without exceptional strength, how could anyone protect Zhuqing? If it were someone from the Star Luo Empire now, they might even need Rongrong to protect Zhuqing!"

Lin Xuan sighed. Although his Soul Power was already quite high, he was still an ant in front of a true expert!

He continued,

"As for Xiao Wu, she is innocent and naive; I will never allow her to suffer the slightest injustice."

"Without absolute power to dominate the continent, prematurely establishing their status will only invite storms and turmoil."

Therefore, maintaining the status quo is the best option for now.

"Once I have the trump card to overturn all the rules, if their feelings for me remain unchanged, then no one will be able to take them away from me."

After hearing these words, Tang San sat on the stone bench in silence for a long time.

Tang San initially thought Lin Xuan's actions were somewhat greedy, but after hearing about the pros and cons, his doubts completely vanished.

This is not irresponsible procrastination, but a clear-headed realization after seeing through reality.

Tang San raised his hand and placed it on Lin Xuan's shoulder, his tone sincere:

I'll do everything I can to help you!

Lin Xuan laughed heartily and raised his palm to clap with Tang San:

"Then thank you very much, Little San. For now, I should focus on my cultivation. I don't want to let any of them down!"

At the very moment the two high-fived to make their promise.

Behind the tall blue stone rockery at the corner of the courtyard wall, three slender figures were pressed tightly against the back of the stone wall.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth with both hands, her face burning red, and hot air rising from her head.

Half a day ago, Ning Rongrong secretly pulled Tang San aside and begged him to find an opportunity to sound out Lin Xuan Tang San night.

Ning Rongrong had really had enough of Lin Xuan's daily care.

Lin Xuan would wipe the sweat from her forehead, buy the dress she had her eye on while shopping, and even carry her back to her room when she was exhausted from cultivation.

But Lin Xuan never confessed his feelings, not even a single clear word.

Tang San originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of romantic affair, but since it concerned the Vice Sect Master of the Tang Sect, he had no choice but to agree.

Ning Rongrong originally only wanted to hide behind the artificial hill and eavesdrop on Lin Xuan and Tang San's conversation.

As it turned out, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing happened to come out of the house to get a drink of water and were caught red-handed.

Ning Rongrong decided to take a gamble and dragged the other two along to eavesdrop in the shadows.

At this moment, the atmosphere behind the artificial hill is eerie.

Ning Rongrong was naturally very happy. She had never intended to replace Xiao Wu as the only one by Lin Xuan's side.

She hadn't expected that Lin Xuan's reluctance to mention matters of the heart was due to his concern about resistance from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Standing to the side, Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes with her right hand.

Zhu Zhuqing was a woman of few words. She had already fallen in love with Lin Xuan Lin Xuan helped her become stronger and took meticulous care of her. Otherwise, she would not have said that she wanted to follow Lin Xuan for the rest of her life.

She once thought that Lin Xuan didn't know how to choose, which was why he didn't respond to her feelings for Rongrong.

But what Zhu Zhuqing didn't expect was that Lin Xuan had long ago taken on the pressure from the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Zhu Family onto his shoulders.

So... he was worried he couldn't protect me?

Zhu Zhuqing's originally calm and aloof heart was completely thrown into turmoil, and even her breathing became disordered.

As for Xiao Wu, she was crouching in the grass, her hands gripping her pink dress tightly.

Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks, and although she knew this would happen, she couldn't help but grumble to herself.

This guy really is a womanizer, but when she heard Lin Xuan say, "I will never allow Xiao Wu to suffer the slightest grievance," Xiao Wu's heart was filled with sweetness.

Of course, Xiao Wu's feelings for him had been unwavering since Lin Xuan gave her the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Just then, Ning Rongrong couldn't contain her racing heart any longer. She shifted her feet slightly, and accidentally crushed a dry twig under her foot.

A soft click rang out, particularly crisp in the quiet night.

Who's behind us?

Lin Xuan reached for the Soul Tool Ring at his waist, his figure blurring as he used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to bypass the artificial hill.

Tang San also quickly stood up.

Lin Xuan stopped abruptly as he walked around the rockery.

Moonlight streamed into the corner of the courtyard, revealing three exquisitely beautiful faces exposed to Lin Xuan without any concealment.

Xiao Wu remained squatting, Ning Rongrong stood frozen in place, holding up her skirt, and Zhu Zhuqing pressed her body against the stone wall, her ears so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Lin Xuan's mind raced for a moment, instantly connecting the dots between the events.

He turned and glanced at Tang San, who had just walked over. It turned out he had been set up!

Tang San slipped, an embarrassed look on his face. He coughed twice and left without looking back.

"Um... I just remembered, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow isn't assembled yet. You guys chat, I'm going to sleep now."

After saying that, Tang San closed the door directly, his movements fluid and graceful.

Only Lin Xuan and three blushing girls remained beside the artificial hill.
