Zhu Zhuqing in His Arms, the Aloof Beauty's Heart Pounded

At the same time, Xue Tianmo set some goals for himself going forward.

First, he had to become stronger!

Tang Hao's attack had made him keenly aware of the danger. Once his strength improved, he would definitely seek revenge on Tang Hao.

Others might not know, but he understood very clearly.

Tang Hao had always been protective of his own. Xue Tianmo had humiliated Tang San time and again, and on top of that, he had displayed unparalleled talent.

Tang Hao had surely developed the intent to kill him.

Second, he had to speed up his accumulation of Sign-in Points and exchange them for that piece of Mysterious Ice Mother Gold.

That way, he could fuse it with his martial soul.

Once fused, his martial soul would be comparable to a divine artifact, perhaps even a Super Divine Artifact.

His strength would rise to another level as well.

Third was the opportunity at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

That opportunity had originally belonged to Tang San.

But since he was here now, he naturally had to snatch it away.

Lastly, he had to prepare for the upcoming Soul Master Competition.

When the time came, he would lead Skywater Academy to claim the championship.

Compared to the others, this goal was rather simple.

Xue Tianmo was confident that, with his strength, sweeping through the teams from the other academies should not be a problem.

Of course, he did not let his guard down.

No one knew whether something might go wrong during the Soul Master Competition.

While Xue Tianmo was quietly making plans, Shui Bing'er had already absorbed the thirty-thousand-year left arm soul bone.

The fusion and absorption not only increased her Soul Power, but also granted her a soul bone skill: Swordfish Thorn!

Her Soul Power condensed into a long sword that could fly forth and pierce enemies.

After absorbing the soul bone, Shui Bing'er was beside herself with excitement and hurriedly looked at Xue Tianmo.

"Brother Tianmo! Thank you!"

She spoke with a face full of gratitude, her eyes also carrying affection and admiration.

Hearing this, Xue Tianmo came back to himself and smiled faintly.

"Sister Bing'er, saying thank you makes us sound like strangers!"

"So? What did you gain from absorbing that soul bone?"

Shui Bing'er did not hide anything and told Xue Tianmo everything she had gained.

Xue Tianmo nodded, then changed the subject.

"By the way, Sister Bing'er, I may be leaving Skywater Academy for a while."

Xue Tianmo had been signing in with Shui Bing'er and the others all this time.

After more than two years, the Sign-in Points he could obtain from them had become pitifully few.

Earlier, when Tang Hao had tried to assassinate him, choosing to sign in had immediately earned him two hundred thousand Sign-in Points, along with many other rewards.

Xue Tianmo also wanted to try his luck elsewhere. He could not keep shearing the same sheep forever.

"Ah?"

Hearing Xue Tianmo say this, Shui Bing'er was taken aback, her expression filled with reluctance.

She opened her mouth, originally intending to ask more.

But the words that reached her lips were swallowed back down.

After a brief pause, Shui Bing'er finally spoke.

"Brother Tianmo, the Soul Master Competition will begin soon."

"Don't forget, we still have to compete together and win the championship together!"

Hearing that, Xue Tianmo nodded and said with a smile.

"Don't worry! I'll be back before the Soul Master Competition begins."

Only then did Shui Bing'er breathe a sigh of relief before bidding farewell and leaving.

Not long after Shui Bing'er left, Zhu Zhuqing came to find Xue Tianmo.

Ding!

Sign-in candidate discovered: Zhu Zhuqing.

Would you like to sign in?

"Sign in!"

Xue Tianmo chose to sign in without hesitation.

Congratulations, Host! You have successfully signed in with Zhu Zhuqing!

Reward obtained: 3,000 Sign-in Points!

"Not bad."

Xue Tianmo muttered to himself.

The first time he had signed in with Zhu Zhuqing, he had received ten thousand Sign-in Points, plus a thirty-thousand-year leg soul bone.

Getting another three thousand Sign-in Points now was already quite good.

"Did you need something from me?"

Xue Tianmo looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked.

Earlier, Zhu Zhuqing had come to him and expressed her desire to become stronger.

She had even said that as long as Xue Tianmo could make her stronger, she was willing to do anything.

Xue Tianmo had agreed and told her to leave Shrek Academy and join Skywater Academy first.

During this time, Zhu Zhuqing had constantly tried to earn Xue Tianmo's approval!

Earlier, she and the others from Skywater Academy had witnessed Xue Tianmo's battle with Tang Hao firsthand.

Though he had lost to Tang Hao, Xue Tianmo's strength had once again stunned Zhu Zhuqing.

Hearing Xue Tianmo's question, Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and said,

"I watched your battle just now. You're very strong!"

"I've already joined Skywater Academy as you instructed."

"Shouldn't you fulfill your promise as well?"

Xue Tianmo smiled faintly at her words.

He naturally knew that Zhu Zhuqing possessed an almost fanatical obsession with becoming stronger.

After all, if she could not become stronger, what awaited her was death!

After thinking for a moment, Xue Tianmo looked Zhu Zhuqing over and said,

"How about this? I'll teach you a movement technique first!"

Seeing Xue Tianmo relent and offer to teach her a movement technique, Zhu Zhuqing immediately became excited and nodded repeatedly. "Okay!"

Next, Xue Tianmo demonstrated the first level of Lingbo Weibu before Zhu Zhuqing.

Once unleashed, he was swift as a flying duck, ethereal as a divine being.

Zhu Zhuqing, watching from the side, was greatly shocked.

His movement technique is far more exquisite than Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

Zhu Zhuqing silently marveled, her heart stirred as she could not wait to learn it.

After finishing the demonstration, Xue Tianmo looked toward Zhu Zhuqing.

"The movement technique from earlier is called Lingbo Weibu. What I demonstrated was only its first level."

"Use movement to cultivate inner power."

"With each step, draw in a breath. When taking the second step, breathe it back out."

"Your steps must follow the positions of the sixty-four trigrams."

"..."

After explaining the essentials of Lingbo Weibu to Zhu Zhuqing, Xue Tianmo had her give it a try.

After digesting what he had said and recalling the order of steps from his earlier demonstration, Zhu Zhuqing began practicing.

But after only a few steps, her footing immediately became chaotic.

Unable to steady herself, she fell forward.

Seeing this, Xue Tianmo reacted swiftly and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms.

As he lowered his gaze, their eyes met.

Zhu Zhuqing's mind went blank for a moment. Her breathing became rapid and uneven, while her heart pounded loudly in her chest.

Xue Tianmo held Zhu Zhuqing by the waist, its softness filling his hand.

Then he looked at Zhu Zhuqing in his arms. Her shifting eyes glimmered, her jade-like face shone with a gentle luster, and though words rested on her lips, her breath was as fragrant as orchids.

She was truly captivating!

"It's... it's so difficult!"

After a long silence, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her brows and bowed her head, looking like a shy young girl.

Hearing this, Xue Tianmo came back to himself and hurriedly helped Zhu Zhuqing stand upright.

Next, he began teaching her step by step.

Under Xue Tianmo's personal guidance, Zhu Zhuqing gradually began to grasp the essentials of Lingbo Weibu.

Seeing her movement technique improve so greatly in such a short time, Zhu Zhuqing was thrilled beyond words!

"I... I learned it!"

Zhu Zhuqing said excitedly, her fondness for Xue Tianmo increasing greatly.

Xue Tianmo stared straight at Zhu Zhuqing. Her appearance was graceful and alluring, yet she also possessed a cool, aloof beauty.

After a brief pause, he finally came back to himself and said,

"You've only grasped the basic essentials of Lingbo Weibu. If you want to truly master it, you'll need much more practice!"

Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing nodded, only then realizing that she had lost her composure earlier.

"Tianmo, th-thank you!"

She raised her eyes to look at Xue Tianmo. For some reason, her heart was suddenly pounding.
