Superpowered Love Academy

Her pale blonde hair also carried the unique fragrance that Tuqi possessed.

"Won't you take a sniff?"

"..."

"Weren't you quite daring this morning?"

"..."

"It shouldn't smell bad, right?" Tuqi sniffed herself.

Hearing her say that, even Zuo Le, who usually had a thick skin, couldn't hold back for long.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then simply surrendered:

"I'm sorry, Sister Qi, Zuo Zi drank too much this morning. Please don't take it to heart, okay?"

"Hahaha~ Goose goose goose..."

Looking at Tuqi laughing again, Zuo Le felt a little emotional; she really did seem to love to laugh.

"Sister Qi likes Zuo Zi so much, why would she hold a grudge against him for those things?"

"Then, shall I continue?"

"Wait." Tu Qi suddenly called out, returning to her kneeling position.

Zuo Le thought she had something important to tell her, so she also became serious:

"what happened?"

But Tu Qi suddenly pounced, knocking the unsuspecting Zuo Le to the ground, her fragrant hair falling onto his face:

So, you really don't want to smell it?

Zuo Le pursed his lips; in fact, he had already secretly smelled it many times.

But this kind of thing...

Even if they did it, they would never admit it.

The two maintained this ambiguous posture for a full minute.

Zuo Le remained silent, while Tu Qi gently shook her head, letting her hair brush against Zuo Le's face.

"Alright, consider this your punishment for flirting with me this morning."

Zuo Le was a little confused at the moment.

Is it really punishment?

Chapter 75 The Pressure is Immense

Seeing that Tuqi was retreating little by little, Zuo Le quickly took a deep breath to ease his somewhat stuffy breathing.

His heart was racing, but he pretended to be calm.

Tuqi's smile also seemed to have a deeper meaning.

The distance between the two widened again, and Zuo Le quickly adjusted his state and focused.

Focus your attention on the psychic ritual in front of you.

As before, Tu Qi would not disturb Zuo Le once he got serious; she would simply stand quietly by and assist him.

Her energy affinity talent can not only increase the cultivation speed of those around her, but also...

It also makes it clearer and simpler for nearby people to manage spiritual energy.

Zuo Le re-infused the spirit power, imbued with void energy, into the spirit communication ritual.

This time he deliberately slowed down the pace.

He guided the spiritual energy into the ritual array like a stream, using a reverse flow of the void's turbulent currents, to establish a more direct connection with the depths of the void through a spirit communication ritual.

But the void is inherently chaotic.

The moment he reversed the array patterns with his spiritual power, the singularity of the rift at the center of the ritual became unstable.

boom!

Purple void energy coalesced, forming crystals that then rapidly shattered. Fragments grazed Zuo Le's cheek, causing him to reflexively lean back.

A shield of light instantly appeared in front of Zuo Le, blocking the energy impact for him.

Zuo Le nodded to Tu Qi, his expression somewhat solemn:

Thanks.

This was a serious failure; not only did an energy explosion occur, but he didn't even manage to open a void rift.

"It's alright, be careful." Tu Qi reached out and wiped Zuo Le's cheek, her voice gentle.

"Ah."

Sensing Tu Qi's presence, Zuo Le suddenly felt a strange sense of peace. What would happen if he were researching forbidden summoning all by himself?

Taking it one step at a time? Trying things out little by little?

Or are they injured? Or even in danger?

It has to be said that after two rounds of Void Summoning, Zuo Le has clearly felt the importance of Tu Qi.

This led him to begin to have doubts.

Is she just being coy or is this really her personality?

Why do I always think so highly of Tuqi?

"Has she changed her strategy? Is she trying to soften my mind with benefits and her beauty without using seduction, subtly influencing me?"

"How should I counter this?"

"Pretend to be captivated by her first, then make her part of your plan?"

While secretly criticizing Tu Qi in her heart, Zuo Le couldn't help but look up at the person opposite her.

The girl winked at him, her gentle smile unchanged.

Ugh……

"Let's continue."

"Okay, good luck." Tuqi gave him a fist bump.

Zuo Le sat up straight, shook his head, and casually wiped the fragments of spiritual energy crystals off his face, clearing away his chaotic thoughts and starting afresh.

The third round, the fourth round, the fifth round...

Error, distortion, explosion.

Zuo Le failed eleven times in a row, and even though the amount of spiritual energy he injected wasn't much, it was being consumed very quickly.

The mental pressure from the repeated failures and the forbidden summons caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead, and his breathing became more rapid than before.

Moreover, with each failure, the backlash of void energy would leave a lingering feeling in his body.

It's somewhat similar to the sticky feeling after using [Void Walk] or [False Creation].

He glanced at the clock, which showed it was past 2:30, before looking at Tuqi:

"My problem." Zuo Le rubbed his temples.

"Did I put too much pressure on you?" Tuqi suddenly asked.

"No, it's my own problem. I may have disappointed you." Zuo Le shook his head.

If he were alone, facing a series of failures and being physically and mentally exhausted, it would be alright.

Men should just process their emotions on their own.

But if there's a very pretty girl on the other side who stays with you and watches you fail repeatedly, it's impossible to say you don't feel psychological pressure.

Tu Qi stared at Zuo Le, who was adjusting her breathing, for a while, then suddenly laughed:

"I see."

Did she know?

What does she know?

Zuo Le sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and rubbed his brow, trying to restore his spiritual power while adjusting his mindset.

He did not sense Tuqi's movement.

But a few seconds later, a faint fragrance wafted from behind.

This isn't the first time we've encountered this situation with Tuqi; she really does have the ability to teleport!

Just as Zuo Le was pondering Tu Qi's abilities.

He felt his head sink into something soft.

Zuo Le: ?

Tu Qi knelt behind him, letting Zuo Le's head rest against her chest, while stroking his temples with her fingers.

For any superhuman, the temple is a dangerous location.

But this position also represents relaxation and comfort.

Moreover, Tuqi's technique was so gentle it was indescribable, it was really comfortable.

"If you're tired, take a rest. You can continue tomorrow, or when you have more inspiration later..."

Zuo Le suddenly opened her closed eyes.

He rarely agonized over matters of cultivation, and his current predicament was simply due to Tu Qi's presence.

He had a strong initial drive, but his efforts waned after a second attempt and eventually failed. After thinking it through, he realized he should continue trying instead of giving up.

Tuqi's presence is not an obstacle, but a clear help.

After she's gone, my studies will be even more difficult.

"No need, right now. Of course, if you're tired, you can go and rest first."

As Zuo Le spoke, he pushed Tu Qi's fingers, trying to break free, but Tu Qi grabbed his hand instead.

"Don't rush."

"how?"

Tu Qi gently hugged him, pressed her lips to Zuo Le's ear, and softly blew on his ear:

"I know you're tired. Can you rest a little longer?"

"..."

Zuo Le didn't want to answer; he just wanted to go out for a smoke to calm down.

He didn't struggle, and Tuqi didn't continue to make any provocative moves. She simply hugged his head from behind, letting this ambiguity and tenderness continue for a while.

"Don't be too anxious, I'll be with you."

"..."

Zuo Le remained silent, but this time he responded with a nod.

A few minutes later, Tuqi silently let go of him.

Zuo Le restarted his studies on forbidden summoning, slightly changing his approach.

His previous psychic rituals still retained the 'frequency tuning' logic of traditional psychic studies, which was also the idea that Shen He had been instilling in him since he was a first-grader.

But aside from the stroke of genius in the first experiment.

Every time after that, something went wrong.

Zuo Le felt that the void was not suitable for the logic of 'frequency tuning'.

When touching the void, he should 'provoke' it in the form of bait.

Zuo Le looked at the spirit communication ritual on the ground, his fingertips imbued with spiritual power, and drew a subtle arc, connecting the ends of the three tentacles to form a closed loop.

He had been hesitant and timid the whole time, constantly reducing the amount of spiritual energy he was channeling.
