Chapter 14 Nine Stars
Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Xiao Bai, you don't have to be polite to Xun'er!"

One thing she liked very much was that Xiao Bai never asked her where these things came from. She still remembered that when she first gave him the Qi Gathering Powder, she was afraid that he would ask her, so she thought of several excuses.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bai didn't ask directly. He accepted the things she gave him if he needed them, and told her clearly if he didn't need them. This made her feel very relaxed when getting along with Xiao Bai, without having to worry about this or hide that.

The same goes for Xiao Bai's matter. If he doesn't say anything, she won't ask. This is the tacit understanding between them.

Xiao Xun'er just put her hand on the ring, and several scrolls appeared on the table.

Xiao Bai looked at the scrolls on the table. There were four in total. He picked up one and opened it to read.

"Thunder Step", a high-level Xuan-level fighting skill, is a body movement skill. It opens up two meridians on the legs and is driven by thunder attributes, like a flash of lightning. It is suitable for short-distance raids or body movement in battle.

After reading it, I picked up another one and opened it.

"Thunder Palm", a high-level Xuan-level fighting skill, is an attack-type skill. It opens up a meridian in each hand, allowing the body's thunder-attributed fighting energy to be compressed into the palms. When it is launched, it is as fast as thunder and can deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Xiao Bai then read through the other scrolls one by one, and finally chose "Thunder Step" and "Thunder Palm".

After making the selection, Xiao Bai handed the remaining two scrolls back to Xun'er.

"Brother Xiao Bai, do you want these two? Why don't you take them all? It's useless to keep them with Xun'er anyway!" Xiao Xun'er originally wanted to give them all to him, but she didn't expect Xiao Bai to return two of them.

"You can't chew too much. These two are enough." Xiao Bai shook his head.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Xun'er didn't say much and put away the remaining two scrolls.

Xiao Bai looked at the beautiful girl in front of him who was smiling at him with her hands on her cheeks. He sensed her realm and said with a smile:

"Battle Force Level 8, it looks like our Xun'er is about to break through!"

"Well, she just broke through not long ago, and it will take some time for her to become a fighter. Xun'er's talent is not as good as Brother Xiao Bai's, who reached the ninth level at the age of ten!"

The girl said with a little admiration in her eyes.

Xiao Bai's breathing stagnated. If he didn't know that she didn't mean that, he would have thought for a moment that the girl was mocking him.

In terms of talent, who on this continent can compare to you except that little dragon from Canaan Academy? Even if he cheats, even the Fighting Saint is not sure he can catch up.

He quickly changed the subject and said in a gentle voice;

"Does your body still hurt during this period?"

As Xiao Bai spoke, he felt a bit of pity. He had seen with his own eyes the girl in front of him suffering from the pain of being burned by strange fire since she was a child. Strange fire is not so easy to refine. Even with the seal of her father Gu Yuan, it can only guarantee her safety but cannot completely solve the pain. After all, that is the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame.

"I don't feel any pain now, Brother Xiao Bai, don't worry!" Xiao Xun'er shook her head, and seeing the pity in the boy's eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"That's good!"

"By the way, Brother Xiao Bai, can you promise Xun'er one thing?" Xiao Xun'er's face suddenly became serious, and she said while holding Xiao Bai's hand.

"Don't mention just one thing, even if it's hundreds or thousands of things, as long as Brother Xiao Bai can do it, I'll do it for you!" Xiao Bai gently squeezed the jade hand in his hand, doting. Xiao Xun'er was delighted when she heard this, but her face remained serious, and she said:

"Promise Xun'er that you won't tell anyone the story of yesterday, okay?"

"Yesterday's story?"

Xiao Bai frowned, feeling puzzled. He had just talked about the Perfect World yesterday, so why did Xun'er ask him not to tell anyone about it?

Even though he smuggled some contraband in there, it shouldn't have caused this girl to look so serious. She's not that kind of person.

After carefully recalling the storytelling situation yesterday, Xiao Bai seemed to understand something. Yesterday, Xun'er seemed to have interrupted him when he was talking about the Supreme, but he didn't think much about it at the time.

But considering that there is a supreme being in this world, could it be that Xun'er knows something else?
That's right, this girl was born into an imperial family, so it's not surprising that her family has some records about the universe, but I don't know how much she knows.

Although there is no record in the original novel, the original novel only tells the experience of the protagonist, and it is not an encyclopedia of the Douqi Continent.

It seems that I have to be more cautious in the future. Don’t think that everything is under control just because you know the plot. If you hold this mentality, you will suffer sooner or later.

"Okay, I promise you that I will never tell this story to anyone again." Xiao Bai agreed solemnly and thought about the cause and effect. He knew that Xun'er asked him to do this for his own good.

Hearing Xiao Bai's agreement, Xiao Xun'er felt relieved. From childhood to adulthood, this young man has always been a man of his words and will do whatever he promised.

"Brother Xiao Bai, don't blame Xun'er for being nosy. The waters of the Douqi Continent are too complicated. If it is really as you guessed, I'm afraid Xun'er won't be able to protect you at that time!" Xiao Xun'er stared at the young man and said silently in her heart.

Half a year has passed in a flash
In the cave behind the Xiao family’s mountain.

Xiao Bai sat cross-legged on a huge rock with a calm expression, emitting the aura of a peak nine-star fighter.

His body was filled with abundant energy and blood, and his strength was much stronger than it was half a year ago. He felt that he didn't need to fight anymore, and could defeat the Wang priest with just one punch.

"Now the progress of using Yi Mu Zheng Lei to temper my body is getting slower and slower. It's time to break through to the Fighting Master level!" Xiao Bai whispered.

Over the past six months, he practiced fighting skills in the morning every day, used the Yi Mu Zheng Lei in his body to temper his body in the afternoon, and practiced fighting spirit and soul at night, without slacking off for a single day.

The two fighting skills, "Thunder Step" and "Thunder Palm", have been practiced to perfection and are very powerful.

Two months after his last breakthrough, his Dou Qi had already reached the level of a nine-star Dou Zhe. If he hadn't wanted to increase the strength of his physical body a little more to accommodate the new thunder seeds, he would have broken through to the Dou Master level long ago.

As for the cultivation of the soul, since the last time he improved a small realm in a trance, the progress has not been so fast. However, this slow progress is only compared to the last time when he improved after just a night's sleep. In fact, every time Xiao Bai finished practicing "The Chapter of Heavenly Heart Response", he felt that his soul had improved a little.

After practicing "The Chapter of Heaven's Heart Response" every day for the past six months, Xiao Bai no longer had the feeling of falling asleep in a trance. It felt like the soul techniques in the original book, absorbing the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth to elevate his soul.

The difference is that as he practices this technique, he occasionally feels a sense of being integrated into the world, which seems a bit like the state of harmony between man and nature mentioned in his previous life. The feeling is very mysterious and cannot be explained.

He didn't know what the use of this was, and sometimes he even wondered if he was too tired from practicing and had developed illusions.

Until now, Xiao Bai still believed that he was promoted after a good sleep last time, and had no impression of what happened in that piece of void. He thought that the promotion was a benefit for novices who practiced "The Chapter of Heavenly Heart Response".
