Chapter 94: Where Are You Looking? 【Seeking First Subscription!】

For the next few days, Qin Jian spent his time taking care of Shui Bing'er and pondering the technique for swapping bodies with a martial soul.

However, even after five days, there was no progress; this kind of abstract theory was truly extremely difficult to translate into reality.

At this moment, Huo Wu came looking for him again.

It seems she had been living directly in Tianshui City recently.

This time, they didn't go to that small pavilion, because Qin Jian felt it was no big deal, so he simply told the members of the Tianshui Team about this trade.

"Qin Jian, help me perform Ring Fusion once..."

On the sofa, Huo Wu's first sentence made Qin Jian freeze.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

A look of resignation as if facing death slowly appeared on Huo Wu's face: "Isn't it just soul power entering the body once? Come on!"

Then she tilted her head back and closed her eyes, leaving Qin Jian unable to laugh or cry.

At this time, Shui Bing'er also walked down from the bedroom.

Five days had passed, and although she hadn't fully recovered, her normal life was no longer hindered.

"Qin Jian, are you going to help Huo Wu comprehend Ring Fusion?" She looked at Huo Wu with an inexplicable expression.

Letting someone else's soul power enter one's body...

She really hadn't expected Huo Wu to be willing to do this; this wasn't just a matter of trust, but a willingness to expose everything about herself to the other person.

"I just want to become stronger and learn the Ring Fusion Divine Skill, don't let your imaginations run wild!" Huo Wu felt the strange looks from the two of them and couldn't help but say in shame and annoyance.

"Oh..."

Shui Bing'er's gaze became even stranger: "Could it be that Huo Wu herself hasn't realized her own affection for Qin Jian?"

If there were no affection, this was something a girl would never be willing to agree to, no matter what.

"Then I'll help you try," Qin Jian said, his expression returning to normal.

Shui Bing'er snuck a glance at Qin Jian; she didn't know if Qin Jian had realized Huo Wu's affection, but regardless, she certainly wouldn't be the one to remind him.

That would just be asking for a love rival...

"Hum hum!"

Huo Wu stood in the center of the hall, her Fire Shadow martial soul behind her and the three Yellow, Yellow, and Purple soul rings at her feet lighting up.

"Go ahead."

Huo Wu tilted her head and closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.

"Pfft..."

Shui Bing'er, unable to hold back her laughter, quickly covered her small mouth to prevent Huo Wu from becoming angry out of embarrassment.

Qin Jian, however, remained expressionless.

He walked in front of Huo Wu and said, "Extend your right hand."

Huo Wu's eyelids twitched, but she still quickly extended her hand.

The crimson light on her body made her face look flushed; it was unclear if it was the effect of her martial soul or something else...

The moment Qin Jian lightly touched her fingers, her whole body trembled, as if she had been electrocuted.

"Are you alright?" Qin Jian felt a little like laughing.

"I'm... I'm fine... continue!" Huo Wu said, forcing herself to stay calm.

Finally, Qin Jian's hand slowly covered her right hand completely, and a stream of soul power began to surge into her body...

And just at this moment, Huo Wu suddenly trembled all over, and a flash of fire passed by.

"Swish!"

The next moment, the figure in front of Qin Jian had turned into Huo Wu's martial soul, Fire Shadow.

"S-sorry..."

Huo Wu appeared in the position where Fire Shadow had originally been; she had already opened her eyes, but she didn't dare to look at Qin Jian at all: "Sorry... I... I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it..."

"Interesting..."

But at this moment, Qin Jian just kept holding the illusory hand of the Fire Shadow martial soul, his eyes dazed: "So the martial soul really is connected to the body..."

Both Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er looked at him curiously.

Then they heard Qin Jian mutter: "Using soul power as a bridge to communicate the distance between the martial soul and the body, and then changing the orientation of the soul power, it's just like using strength to swap two parts of the body..."

The more he spoke, the wider Huo Wu's eyes grew: "No way, did this guy just comprehend it after sensing me change positions?"

"Impossible! I don't believe it!"

Her gaze remained fixed on Qin Jian without moving.

"Hum!"

At this moment, the two Yellow and Purple soul rings at Qin Jian's feet lit up, and his Purple Sword martial soul appeared in his hand.

"Swish!"

He tossed it casually, and the Purple Sword martial soul flew out, landing in a corner of the hall ten meters away.

"Shoo!"

The next moment, Qin Jian's figure and the Sword martial soul both became illusory, and when they became clear again, Qin Jian had already swapped positions with his martial soul!

"Haha, it really is like this!"

His expression was very excited, but Huo Wu's expression was completely stiff: "It's only been five days... and he's completely comprehended this technique..."

"Swish swish swish!"

As if he had found a new toy, Qin Jian's position and that of his martial soul changed constantly within the hall, turning into streaks of afterimages.

The more Huo Wu watched, the less happy she became, until finally, it turned into a roar: "Qin Jian! Teach me Ring Fusion!"

"Uh..."

Qin Jian's figure paused in the hall, his expression also somewhat awkward.

It was clearly agreed that he would help Huo Wu gain insight, yet in the end, it was he himself who received inspiration and directly learned the technique of swapping positions with a martial soul...

"Give it!"

Huo Wu walked up angrily and, without saying a word, reached out her hand.

Qin Jian took it, once again channeled soul power into her body, and then saw Huo Wu's complexion turn rosy.

But she still forcibly endured it, patiently waiting for Qin Jian to touch her Soul Ring.

At this moment, Qin Jian had already closed his eyes, carefully sensing the commonalities and differences between the Soul Rings.

Although Huo Wu felt as if she were not wearing any clothes, in reality, Qin Jian had no energy at all to sense other places through soul power; he had to focus all his efforts on sensing the Soul Rings.

"Hum!"

Suddenly, two Yellow Soul Rings fused together, and Huo Wu's expression froze.

She was too busy being shy and completely forgot to sense how Qin Jian had managed it...

Sensing the Third Soul Ring was more difficult; it took Qin Jian nearly ten minutes to find a breakthrough point.

"Hum!"

With another hum, the three Soul Rings completely fused together.

Huo Wu looked at the two-colored fusion halo above, her expression dazed.

"Sizzle..."

Qin Jian's soul power dissipated, and the three Soul Rings separated again and returned to Huo Wu's body, but she still had a bewildered look on her face.

"How is it? Did you sense anything?" Qin Jian waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Huo Wu suddenly came back to her senses, her face showing some embarrassment: "I..."

She was truly too embarrassed to say that she hadn't gained any insight at all, after all, Qin Jian had understood it on the first try.

Seeing her expression, Qin Jian knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said: "The difficulty of my Ring Fusion is indeed much higher than your swapping technique; how about I demonstrate a few more times?"

When he said this, Huo Wu felt a bit more comfortable inside; she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then I'll trouble you to try again."

The second demonstration was much easier for Qin Jian; he was familiar with the process and completed it in one go.

Huo Wu finally revealed a thoughtful expression: "Qin Jian, one more time... one more time and I should be able to find the direction..."

The third time was familiar, but Qin Jian could no longer control his soul power and accidentally let it wander to other places...

And then Huo Wu bristled: "Qin Jian! Where are you looking!"

Still further progress 7/56
