Chapter 17 Martial Soul, Heavenly Fox_1
The first impression Xu Sheng had upon seeing this girl was of Qian Renxue...
Simply because the girl before him was elegant and cold, completely devoid of that charm she showcased later on!
Bi Bidong, standing beside, showed a slight thaw in her icy gaze and gently said, "Now that you're here, why don't you come over?"
"Yes, Teacher."
"Do you know why the teacher has summoned me today?" Lena asked gracefully as she moved to Bi Bidong's side, speaking respectfully.
Even though she was conversing with Bi Bidong, her curious gaze still inadvertently shifted towards Xu Sheng...
When she clearly saw Xu Sheng's charming and handsome face, her cheeks blushed slightly as she muttered to herself, "Who is this child? He is so handsome..."
Lena dared to say, among all the boys she had met, none could compare in temperament and appearance to Xu Sheng, especially the indolent air about him that made her heart race a bit faster...
She usually held herself in high regard, but she had never expected to meet someone whose very presence could make her heart beat faster at first sight...
Bi Bidong nodded slightly and looking towards Xu Sheng, she explained softly to Lena, "Lena, his name is Xu Sheng, he's my newly accepted disciple..."
Lena nodded slightly upon hearing this, somewhat surprised, "So this is the Saint Heir everyone was talking about yesterday? He must be someone extraordinary to have caught Teacher's attention..."
"My name is Hulena, I'm eleven years old, what about you?" Lena extended her hand, smiling.
"Eleven years old? That's even older than me..."
That's right, Tang San was nine, and he was only a year older than Tang San, so indeed, he was younger than most of the new generation in the Martial Soul Hall...
Xu Sheng extended his hand and shook hers politely before quickly letting go, replying with a smile, "Hello, my name is Xu Sheng, I'm ten years old..."
A look of astonishment flashed across Lena's eyes, "What? He is only ten years old?"
When Lena first saw Xu Sheng's unique aura, she naturally assumed he was older...
She had never imagined that he was actually a year younger than herself!
Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes observed the two getting along well, and the worries she had felt before dissipated quite a bit...
She lightly touched the Purple Crystal Scepter and said indifferently, "Lena, I called you today not only for you to meet Xu Sheng, but also to let you know that Xu Sheng will be joining your team for training in the future..."
Although Lena's face showed no displeasure, she was worriedly thinking, "But Teacher, my brother and the others..."
She didn't mind it, but for a team that had been honed for so long to suddenly include a new member...
Bi Bidong's lips curled into a slight smile, looking intently at Xu Sheng, her eyes shining, "No matter, Xu Sheng's abilities far exceed those of the other support-class Soul Masters."
No, to say Xu Sheng is a support-class Soul Master doesn't quite fit; it's more accurate to call him a dual-system Soul Master of control and support!
The silent Xu Sheng propped his chin, pondering, "Eh? Am I about to join what will later be praised as the Golden Generation of the Martial Soul Hall? Interesting..."
This seemed to clash somewhat with the plans he had in mind for the future...
With Bi Bidong already putting it that way, Lena naturally didn't dare say more and obediently nodded, replying, "I understand, Teacher!"
Only then did Bi Bidong turn her gaze to Xu Sheng, who stood there in a daze. Furrowing her brow slightly, she patiently asked, "Xu Sheng? Do you have any objections?"
Snapping back to reality, Xu Sheng calmly shook his head, "I have no objections. I will not object to whatever Teacher arranges."
After all, he found it hard to refute anything said by his beautiful teacher...
Of course, that wasn't the main reason...
Seeing this, Bi Bidong's eyebrows relaxed and she then instructed, "If there are no objections, then it's settled. Lena, you take Xu Sheng to where you all study."
Don't underestimate the Pope Hall; although it might seem small, if one is not guided, it's very possible to get lost!
Hulena glanced at Xu Sheng and bowed slightly, "Yes, Teacher, then we shall take our leave…"
...
Xu Sheng and Hulena walked side by side, with a long road ahead; yet, the atmosphere had already become extremely awkward.
Xu Sheng glanced at Hulena and then coughed lightly, deciding to break the silence first…
He couldn't possibly wait for Hulena to speak first, after all, girls were generally shy, and of course, that included Hulena at this time.
His gaze slowly shifted towards her, and he spoke tentatively, "Um, Hulena?"
Upon hearing Xu Sheng's inquiry, Hulena halted her steps and looked puzzled, "Hmm? Xu Sheng, do you have a question?"
In fact, her heart had been quite tense just now, but with Xu Sheng breaking the ice, the atmosphere had relaxed considerably…
After all, being with this boy always inexplicably quickened her heartbeat…
This made her feel somewhat flustered, yet deep down, she seemed to be eagerly anticipating something…
She could feel this sensation but found it indescribable.
Xu Sheng, with an elegant smile, inquired softly, "Well, can you tell me which class of Soul Master you are?"
Detecting Xu Sheng's mild distress disguised by an appearance of calm, Hulena couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle…
Her slight laugh seemed to dim everything else around her…
Facing Xu Sheng's gaze, she realized she had behaved improperly and immediately apologized, "Xu Sheng, I was just…"
Xu Sheng, unbothered, blinked his beautiful eyes and complimented, "It's okay, your laughter just now was truly beautiful, it's good to smile more."
Assaulted by Xu Sheng's tender words, even the typically aloof Hulena found her complexion flushing uncontrollably…
She lightly touched her burning ears, chiding herself angrily, "What am I thinking! I've only known Xu Sheng for two hours…"
Xu Sheng, of course, noticed the change in Hulena, deciding it was better not to stimulate her further…
He leaned closer to her, waving his hand gently in front of Hulena's eyes, "Hulena?"
When Hulena snapped back to reality and saw how close Xu Sheng was, she instinctively moved a few steps sideways…
Then, taking a deep breath to compose herself, she managed a somewhat stiff smile, "Is that so... Well then, let's continue what we were talking about. I'm a control-class Soul Master, and my Martial Soul is the Heavenly Fox."
As she spoke, Hulena's front emitted countless particles, which then coalesced into an arm-sized, fluffy, snow-white fox that appeared extremely proud, with crimson vertical pupils exuding endless charm…
Two yellow-glowing Soul Rings rose from under her feet…
Xu Sheng, observing the spirited fox, held his chin and remarked, "This Heavenly Fox looks so beautiful, just like you..."
As his words fell, Hulena was struck as if by a heavy blow. She shyly lowered her head and silently pursed her lips, uncertain what to say…
His words had inadvertently shattered all her thoughts…
"Then… your Martial Soul?"
The bashful Hulena could not even dare to meet Xu Sheng's gaze directly…
Xu Sheng shook his head helplessly at her shy behavior, realizing that if Hulena was to reach the point of causing calamity and woe in the future, she still had a long way to go…
He stated calmly, "I am a support-class Soul Master, my Martial Soul, Nine-Hearted Begonia…"
The next moment, a mixture of scarlet and evil aura, full of lethal allure, the Nine-Hearted Begonia slowly bloomed from the palm of his hand…
Then, a sudden surge of formidable aura unexpectedly emanated from Xu Sheng, catching her off guard…
