Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

Since everyone else is using their martial spirit, Lu Yan isn't going to be stupid enough to just take a beating.

Therefore, if Lu Yan were to fight Dugu Yan without holding back, he was genuinely worried that he might make Dugu Yan cry.

However, one should not be too obvious in holding back, otherwise it will backfire.

He fell into the trap of "men pursuing women," which made her subconsciously place herself in a lower position.

The person being "chased" is always fearless.

Lu Yan absolutely cannot place himself below Dugu Yan in his psychological position, as this would greatly weaken his "attraction" to Dugu Yan.

This led her to subconsciously form the mistaken belief that Lu Yan was trying to please her.

However, Lu Yan also couldn't actually make Dugu Yan cry.

This could easily push her subconscious feelings for Lu Yan to another extreme.

The balance is difficult to maintain, but fortunately Lu Yan is quite good at it.

Lu Yan couldn't remember which book he had read in his previous life, but it seemed to be called "The Art of Subconscious Manipulation".

After all, he has a tendency to "read books but not to understand them thoroughly," and he only needs to have a general impression of what he reads.

You can recall it when you need it, flipping through notes and books to savor it.

Thus began the martial arts sparring between Dugu Yan and Lu Yan, each with their own thoughts.

The two separated, and Dugu Yan, facing Lu Yan's provocative hook of her finger, was immediately enraged and let out a soft snort.

Dugu Yan then charged towards Lu Yan with a strange and unpredictable movement.

Lu Yan could tell at a glance that this movement technique was similar to the one she used after her martial spirit was attached to her.

However, Lu Yan was not intimidated and met the attack head-on with steady steps.

The two clashed instantly. Dugu Yan's attacks were like those of a venomous snake, characterized by their unpredictable, flexible, and lingering nature.

Her body was as supple as if it had no bones, and with each twist of her waist, she could either dodge Lu Yan's attacks or neutralize his force.

She looked exactly like a beautiful human-shaped snake, but although she was a young girl, she lacked the venomous nature of a snake.

It had a more youthful and energetic feel, but it was indeed very slippery, which somewhat restrained Lu Yan's aggressive and sweeping attacks.

They had only been fighting for a short time when Lu Yan was hit by Dugu Yan several times.

However, Lu Yan remained calm and composed, relying on his high health and defense to withstand Dugu Yan's attacks.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, they traded injuries for injuries, which added an extra layer of physical contact to their fight.

However, performing just right is something that is unavoidable in actual combat.

Even Dugu Yan did not notice anything wrong with this.

Even the training instructors, who were constantly monitoring the students' sparring, did not find anything amiss.

The physical contest between Lu Yan and Dugu Yan seemed perfectly normal to everyone.

After all, Lu Yan couldn't be expected to be restrained just because Dugu Yan was a woman.

That might actually provoke Dugu Yan's dissatisfaction, making her think that Lu Yan was looking down on her.

that's the truth.

Although she exchanged injuries with Lu Yan several times, Dugu Yan became more and more excited as the fight progressed.

At least in terms of the form of the beating, she was the one who was putting Lu Yan on the defensive.

Lu Yan was also giving it his all, and the feeling of suppressing the opponent who had defeated him two days ago made Dugu Yan extremely happy.

However, as time went on, she gradually realized something was wrong.

Lu Yan seems to be very resilient; he's nothing like an ordinary weapon spirit master.

Instead, it's more like a beast soul master who enhances their physical body.

"Jie Jie"

Lu Yan let out a strange laugh, looking at Dugu Yan with a ferocious expression: "Little Yanzi, you're only realizing this now? It's a bit too late."

"I have specifically worked hard to improve my physical fitness in order to avoid any weaknesses in my physical skills, and I have suffered a lot for this."

"I'm a regular at Ye's Medical Clinic!"

After saying that, Lu Yan maintained his aggressive offensive while seizing the opportunity to continue exchanging blows with Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan was furious after hearing Lu Yan's speech.

What little goose? She doesn't even call me "Miss" anymore!

He was clearly provoking her!

That guy is awful!

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and persevered, wanting to see who would give up first!

Chapter 62: The relationship between Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan progresses.

In the end, it was Dugu Yan who collapsed from exhaustion.

Lu Yan followed closely behind and collapsed beside Dugu Yan, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

It avoids appearing overly intimate or offensive, yet maintains the appropriate personal space between friends.

This can be considered a kind of rationalized psychological test and a soft "psychological intrusion".

There will always be a sense of distance between people, which often reflects the psychological distance between them.

The reverse is also true: when a person's subconscious accepts the sense of physical distance, this acceptance will be reflected in their psychology.

Of course, if this method is not applied properly, it can make people feel that there are no boundaries and make them dislike it.

Therefore, the prerequisite for using this method is successfully "attracting" the other party.

This is at least based on the premise that the other party is not psychologically averse to you.

At the same time, you should also pay attention to the other person's micro-expressions, body language and corresponding reactions.

Lu Yan actually disliked this kind of routine; it was annoying and boring, all formulaic stuff.

But it is indeed effective.

When he noticed that Dugu Yan showed no aversion to him lying right next to her.

Lu Yan knew in his heart that his relationship with Dugu Yan had at least reached the point where she recognized him as a friend.

"Phew, I'm exhausted. Little Yanzi, you didn't hold back at all! You even used dirty tricks!" Lu Yan panted heavily, tilting his head to look at Dugu Yan, complaining as he spoke.

It is true that one is physically exhausted. By controlling the flow of qi and blood to help the body recover, one can achieve a completely genuine exhaustion of physical strength within certain limits.

"My whole body aches, especially my lower back. And could you please stop hitting my face?!" Lu Yan felt like he must be bruised and battered.

"It's as if you held back. And don't call me Little Goose, it sounds awful!" Dugu Yan also tilted her head, breathing heavily, and glared at Lu Yan with her emerald green eyes.

Then, Dugu Yan laughed at Lu Yan's bruised and swollen face.

"Ha ha ha ha"

However, when she smiled, she felt a pain on her face, and then she remembered that Lu Yan had also hit her face.

Although she dodged it and avoided most of the damage, it was clearly not without cost.

She was immediately furious. Lu Yan showed absolutely no chivalry or tenderness towards women. How infuriating!

"Then I'll keep calling you 'Miss,' 'Miss,' 'Miss'!" Lu Yan deliberately called Dugu Yan that in a sickeningly sweet tone, clearly intending to retaliate against her for mocking him.

"Can you stop being so disgusting!" Dugu Yan kicked Lu Yan's calf in anger, but after that one kick, she didn't bother to move her foot away.

“Call me Yan Yan!” Dugu Yan said, her emerald eyes darting around as she revealed a mischievous smile: “I’ll call you Yan Yan too.”

"Hoo"

This caught Lu Yan off guard and he was truly disgusted by Dugu Yan.

The name Yan Yan was like a song playing on repeat in Lu Yan's mind: "Eating a peach is so refreshing."

This actually made Lu Yan uncomfortable.

However, when Dugu Yan noticed Lu Yan's reaction, she immediately seemed to have discovered a new continent, her emerald green eyes sparkling.

"Yanyan, what's wrong, Yanyan? Yanyan... Yanyan..."

"Dugu Yan!" Lu Yan glared angrily.

"Hahahaha," Dugu Yan laughed triumphantly.

However, their joking around ended there.

Because a healing-type Soul Master who had been waiting on the sidelines had come over under the teacher's arrangement.

The newcomer had long, flowing blue hair, wore a black dress, and had her face veiled with a black gauze. Who else could it be but Ye Lingling?

That's right, Ye Lingling is also in this class.

This was the part that surprised Lu Yan as soon as he entered the classroom.

Now that Dugu Yan has also entered this class, Lu Yan feels it's quite normal.

After all, in the original story, the two were best friends and met in the same class, which is quite normal.

Ye Lingling glanced at the two fallen figures with her blue eyes, but said nothing more.

He directly summoned his martial spirit and then released his spirit skill.

A pink crabapple blossom was held in Ye Lingling's hands.

Two spirit rings floated around her, and the second spirit ring lit up.

Suddenly, accompanied by a faint fragrance, a white light descended upon Lu Yan and Dugu Yan.

The white light looked extremely peculiar; it was actually in the shape of flower petals.

It drifted down slowly, landing directly on Lu Yan and Dugu Yan, and gently merging into their bodies.

Instantly, Lu Yan felt a warm current surge through his body, filled with a life force that rapidly healed his injuries.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the feeling of qi and blood recovering, but the recovery of qi and blood is far from comparable.
