Can Talking to You Increase My Strength?

Su Yi stood before Hu Liena, stunned for a long time.

The memories that had been sealed away for so long were unsealed deep within his heart because of Hu Liena's gaze.

Hu Liena also saw Su Yi standing before her in a daze. She had clearly seen the confusion and sorrow flash through his eyes before they turned cold again.

"Are you all right?"

Hu Liena looked at Su Yi and asked softly.

"I'm fine."

Hearing Hu Liena's words, Su Yi finally came back to his senses.

The long-sealed memories were buried deep in his heart once more.

Only this time, he did not seal them away.

"Grandpa Ghost, let's go hunt for a soul ring!"

Seeing Su Yi return to his usual indifferent self, Hu Liena knew that he must have thought of something painful just now and did not disturb him further.

She called out to Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who were standing off to the side watching the show.

"Ah, all right."

Ghost Douluo did not react at first when he heard Hu Liena's words, then answered with a simple "all right."

It seemed they truly were old.

They simply could not understand what young people were thinking.

She had been crying just moments ago, yet now she had immediately pulled herself together.

After Ghost Douluo answered, he took Hu Liena with him, while Chrysanthemum Douluo led the cold-faced little Su Yi away from Spirit Academy.

After two days of travel, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo brought Hu Liena and little Su Yi by carriage to an unnamed Soul Beast Forest.

"Little guy, did you think of something unpleasant? Why haven't you said a word these past two days?"

After Su Yi and Hu Liena got down from the carriage, Hu Liena stayed by Su Yi's side, her words full of concern.

Su Yi, however, had absolutely no desire to pay attention to her.

To Su Yi, Hu Liena was far too dangerous.

As Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo walked ahead of them, they searched for soul beasts suitable for the two children while keeping all their attention on them.

Nana had always been clever, but whenever she encountered this little guy, she seemed to become a little foolish.

Hu Liena's question about why he had not spoken these past two days nearly made the two Douluo burst out laughing.

Wasn't this little guy always like this? "Hey, I've been talking to you this whole time these past two days. You could at least answer me once. At the very least, when I used to talk to you, you'd still reply with an 'mm' or something. Why aren't you saying a single word now?"

Hu Liena finally exploded as she looked at the silent little Su Yi.

"If you don't answer me—if you still don't answer me—believe it or not, I'll kiss you again!"

As Hu Liena spoke, her eyes darted around in their sockets as she kept thinking of ways to deal with this stubborn little guy.

The scene from that day flashed through her mind, when kissing Su Yi had nearly made him lose control. She narrowed her eyes at him.

When Su Yi heard Hu Liena's words, he suddenly looked up. Danger filled Hu Liena's narrowed eyes.

She slowly stepped closer to him, sticking out her pink, cute little tongue and gently licking her alluring red lips.

"Stop!"

When Su Yi saw that Hu Liena was less than half a meter away, he instantly took a step back. His formerly indifferent eyes were now fixed on Hu Liena with wariness.

Hu Liena looked at the wary Su Yi, and upon hearing his icy "stop," she laughed.

Sure enough, when it came to this sort of thing, this guy could definitely break through that cold exterior of his.

"Tell me, why haven't you been talking to me these past two days?"

Hu Liena stopped half a meter in front of Su Yi, crossed her arms over her chest, and questioned him.

"Can talking to you increase my strength?"

"..."

In response to Hu Liena's question, Su Yi answered coldly.

The moment Su Yi said that, Hu Liena, who stood before him, was dumbfounded.

Even Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who were walking ahead, froze mid-step.

It was as though time had stopped them completely, leaving them motionless.

The scene became utterly silent.

At that moment, Yue Guan and the usually taciturn Ghost Douluo both thought the same thing upon hearing Su Yi's words.

Is this kid really a man?

There was always someone stronger out there. This man was single entirely by his own ability.

Hu Liena was completely stunned after hearing Su Yi's words.

She had considered many possible things he might say. Yet no matter how much she calculated, she had never expected this guy's way of thinking to be so different from ordinary people's. He simply did not play by the rules.

A girl was talking to you, and it was one thing for you to ignore her.

But what did you mean by saying that? The damage was low, but the insult was immense.

Could talking to this lady really delay your cultivation? Thinking of this, malicious thoughts rose in Hu Liena's heart as she looked at Su Yi with ill intent.

You brat, you little punk, you actually asked whether talking to me could increase your strength?

Today, big sister would let you know what hunger—cough, cough—what it meant to be the Spirit Hall Saintess.

When this Saintess got angry, even she feared herself.

With that thought, Hu Liena narrowed her eyes and slowly approached Su Yi step by step.

"Shh!"

Just as Hu Liena walked up to Su Yi, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan raised an index finger before his lips and shushed her.

Hearing Yue Guan tell her to be quiet, Hu Liena instantly put away all her thoughts of dealing with Su Yi.

As for Su Yi, upon hearing Yue Guan's warning, his eyes narrowed and he slowly drew the dagger hidden against his calf.

The reason he did not summon his Martial Soul was because soul beasts were highly sensitive to Soul Power.

Summoning a Martial Soul created fluctuations of Soul Power. If soul beasts were nearby, weaker ones would be frightened away, while stronger ones would be drawn over.

"Hide. We can actually sense the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast here. What terrible luck."

As Yue Guan spoke, he grabbed Hu Liena with one hand and Su Yi with the other, then hid with Ghost Douluo in a dense tree.

Just after they hid themselves, a colossal creature more than thirty meters tall passed by a hundred meters away.

Everyone looked at the enormous black ape, their eyes filled with shock.

If any other modern person had transmigrated here and seen this beast, they would definitely have said, "Holy shit! King Kong! I'm seeing a living one!"

Unfortunately, Su Yi was an assassin and had never watched movies or such things.

Otherwise, he would definitely have mistaken the giant soul beast that had just passed by for King Kong.

"Grandpa Chrysanthemum, what kind of soul beast was that?"

Hu Liena looked at the massive footprints left on the ground by the giant beast and the surrounding trees that had been snapped apart by its passing, her eyes full of deep shock.

"Spirit Hall has no record of such a soul beast either. It seems this soul beast may be even more terrifying than the Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest."

As he spoke, Yue Guan stared thoughtfully at the departing fierce beast.

What kind of soul beast was this, to radiate such terrifying might?

Why was there such a horrifying existence in this small, unnamed Soul Beast Forest?

One question after another appeared in Yue Guan's mind as he continuously pondered them.

Thanks to the generous readers from Qidian for their rewards: thank you to Xiamo Liangcheng Kongyuxin for the 2,100 Qidian coins! Here's an early update! Let's charge forward, everyone! Please vote, please vote, and please add it to your collections!

This soul beast is the author's original creation, since it was made to provide a soul ring for the future protagonist.

After all, there are too few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts focused on strength in Douluo 1, and the protagonist of this book cannot keep stealing Tang San's fortune. Besides, he does not know the plot to begin with. And if all of Tang San's fortune is stolen, the later stages will become boring. Of course, I will try to use soul beasts from Douluo in the future. The protagonist's soul rings cannot all be original creations, so I hope everyone can understand.

I am a new author, so please be forgiving.

I really had something to do today, so I am late again.

However, the three updates will be finished before midnight.

After that, I'll keep writing in one go until after two, and try to release today's third update before three, then write two more updates.

If this book enters the top eight of the New Book Ranking, I will keep doing four updates a day. If it does not, there will be a guaranteed minimum of three updates daily.

Finally, please vote and add it to your collections!
