"As for whether other Soul Master can learn it?" Gui Mei shook her head. "That depends on the individual's comprehension."
"Although the principle behind this move is simple, it's not easy to learn. It requires not only extremely strong control over Soul Power but also powerful Spiritual Power to maintain stability. Ordinary Soul Master simply cannot learn it."
Yue Guan listened from the side and clicked his tongue twice. " Old Ghost, you learn too fast."
The Gui Mei glanced at him. "You should be able to do it too. If you can combine this move with your Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, your attack power will become even stronger."
Yue Guan's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer, saying, "Then you teach me, and we'll try it together."
The Gui Mei didn't pull away from his grasp, but merely tilted her head slightly to glance at him. "Fine."
Gui Yuan sat on the opposite sofa, watching this scene, his lips twitching. "Hey, hey, hey, there are still people here!!"
Yue Guan as if she hadn't heard, still holding onto Gui Mei's arm and even resting her head on his shoulder.
Gui Yuan: "..."
Gui Mei remained unfazed, turning to look at Gui Yuan, his tone returning to its usual calm. "Your development direction for this move is excellent. Your Second Martial Soul currently lacks attached Soul Ring, making attack power a persistent weakness. The Shadow Ball fills that gap."
"When your Soul Power becomes stronger, you can consider increasing the compression factor, or controlling multiple Shadow Ball simultaneously."
Gui Yuan listened attentively and nodded. "I understand, Second Father."
Yue Guan leaned back on the sofa and stretched. "Alright, you've had a good day. Xiao Yuan, you should rest first. Your second father and I will head back now."
He stood up, casually grabbed the Gui Mei's arm, and clung to it as if he were hanging on it.
The Gui Mei was dragged away by him and couldn't break free.
Gui Yuan sat on the sofa, staring at the door that wasn't completely closed, and remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "... I'm truly speechless."
He leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. "Oh well... I'm used to it."
Are these two so shameless about being gay now?
As the son of the two, Gui Yuan said that it was too difficult for him.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Gui Yuan's Soul Power increased from level 45 to level 48.
Level 48 is a reward given for Level Up! Hex.
The cultivation speed remains stable.
Hu Liena will be sixteen in a few months.
Her Soul Power has reached level 48, which is much faster than in the original story.
Xie Yue followed closely behind, at level 45.
That afternoon, in Hu Liena's courtyard.
A wide open space was cleared out, the ground was paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and several low trees were planted around it.
Hu Liena stood in the center of the open space, her four Soul Ring floating slowly beneath her.
Opposite him Xie Yue, wielding Moon Blade, his expression serious.
"Brother, it's starting!"
As soon as Hu Liena finished speaking, a crimson energy ball condensed in her right palm.
The energy sphere was about the size of Riot Games, with scorching fire patterns flowing across its surface, compressed to a density close to that of a solid object.
This is Flame Ball that she spent nearly half a year modifying based on the principles of Gui Yuan's Shadow Ball.
Before she could make the first move, Xie Yue swayed and his Moon Blade slashed towards her side.
But Hu Liena was faster than him.
With a flick of her right hand, the Flame Ball flew out, arcing straight toward Xie Yue's face.
Xie Yue dodged to the side.
But then, he heard a whooshing sound behind him.
Another Flame Ball shot out from behind Hu Liena at some unknown time; it was formed from her tail.
"A pincer attack?"
Xie Yue's pupils contracted slightly, and the fourth Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up. " Fourth Soul Skill, Space-Rending Instant Slash!"
His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Hu Liena smiled slightly, and the third Flame Ball in her hand was already fully formed, but she didn't rush to throw it.
A pinkish halo appeared in her eyes, reflecting the image of Xie Yue in her pupils.
Xie Yue appeared from a spatial node five meters away, about to Teleportation again.
But his gaze met Hu Liena's eyes.
His movements froze for a moment.
Hu Liena's mind control Soul Skill is almost guaranteed to hit at this distance.
"Oh no."
Xie Yue sensed something was wrong, but it was too late.
Hu Liena's hand trembled, and the third Flame Ball struck him precisely in the chest.
"Boom!"
Xie Yue was blasted away and rolled twice on the ground before regaining his balance.
As the smoke cleared, Xie Yue coughed twice, patted his charred front, and sighed helplessly, "I lost again."
Hu Liena smugly put away her Martial Soul, hands on her hips. "Brother, this is the seventh time this month!"
Xie Yue stood up and dusted off his clothes. "Your mind control is too unfair. Every time I dodge the first wave of attacks, I can't dodge the second wave."
Even if you dodge both waves, you'll still eventually be controlled by your Charm.
"That's how you use mental-type Soul Skill," Hu Liena said with a grin. "And my Flame Ball are much more stable than last month; the compression rate has increased by 30%."
Xie Yue shook her head. "Alright, alright, you're impressive, but if you're up against Xiao Yuan, your Charm won't work."
Hu Liena's smile vanished instantly, "... Could you please not mention him?"
Hu Liena was in great pain. Even though she had learned this move, she was still no match for her junior brother.
Xie Yue smiled and said nothing more.
On the other side.
Night deepened.
On the roof of the Spirit Hall, two figures sat side by side.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei lay half-reclined on a wide rooftop, the eaves behind them tilting slightly, just enough to make them more comfortable.
A crescent moon hung in the night sky, the stars were sparse, and all around was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.
Yue Guan leaned on the Gui Mei's shoulder, one leg casually draped over the edge of the roof, holding a pot of warmed wine in his hand.
" Old Ghost, do you think His Holiness the Pope will assign us another task at tomorrow morning's routine meeting?"
Gui Mei looked up at the moon. "Probably not, Ghost Leopard and Ling Yuan have already taken over most of the field missions."
Yue Guan chuckled softly, "That's true, I'm almost not used to having so much free time lately."
He turned his head to the side, resting his chin on the Gui Mei's shoulder, his nose almost touching the ghost's cheek.
"Isn't it better to have a more relaxed life?" Gui Mei didn't dodge, but just glanced at him sideways. "You used to complain about being busy every day."
"When you're busy, you crave leisure; when you're idle, you feel bored." Yue Guan reached out and poked his chest. "That's just how people are."
Gui Mei didn't reply, and Yue Guan moved closer to him, almost leaning against him.
