"You came to me so late at night, aren't you here to calm me down?"
After being stimulated by the coldness from Xuan Ming, Hu Liena's little thoughts were extinguished.
Because she knew very well that if she continued, Xuan Ming would turn into an ice cube, literally an ice cube!
"This is for you." Xuan Ming took out the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus.
"I've already taken care of it. It shouldn't cause you any trouble."
Hu Liena looked strange, "What do you mean, should?"
"I'm not sure if it really has no impact." Xuan Ming said.
"If you're worried..."
Knock knock!
Before Xuan Ming could finish his words, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting him.
"Nana, are you okay?"
Bibi Dong asked outside the door.
"I'm fine!" Hu Liena was a little nervous, and subconsciously pulled Xuan Ming up to hide him in the bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Xuan Ming asked.
"The teacher is coming, you should hide quickly." Hu Liena said in a low voice.
"She's coming, why should I hide?" Xuan Ming asked in confusion.
"…"
The door opened and Bibi Dong walked in.
Looking at Hu Liena's guilty face and the cold air in the room that had not yet completely dissipated, Bibi Dong roughly guessed what had just happened.
"It seems I came at the wrong time." Bibi Dong sat down.
"Actually, I was just about to look for you." Xuan Ming picked up the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus.
"I've handled this thing, but it's still not very safe. How about you keep an eye on her?"
"Has it been dealt with?" Bibi Dong was stunned and reached out to touch the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus.
"That resentment has indeed dissipated, but... let's give it a try."
Although the resentful soul of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox lurks in Hu Liena's body, with her around, there shouldn't be any big problems.
"How do I use this thing?" Hu Liena held the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus in both hands and looked at Xuan Ming.
"Release your fox spirit and communicate with your mental power," Xuan Ming said.
"Yeah." Hu Liena slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, gently lifted up the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus with both hands, placed it between her eyebrows, and released her mental power.
In an instant, the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus shone brightly, and a soft light yet containing tremendous power enveloped Hu Liena.
Hu Liena only felt a warm current flowing into her body along her eyebrows. Then, the resentful soul of the nine-tailed fox seemed to be touched by this power and began to churn in her body.
Her brows were furrowed, a look of pain appeared on her face, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.
Bibi Dong's eyes flashed, and she immediately opened the Killing God Domain, protecting Hu Liena in it and forcibly suppressing the resentful soul of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox.
Xuan Ming also opened his domain and sealed off the entire room to prevent any noise from spreading outside.
As time went by, the power in Hu Liena's body gradually stabilized, the power of the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus began to merge with her martial soul, and her aura continued to rise.
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from her body, and in the light, the shadow of a huge nine-tailed celestial fox emerged.
The phantom of the nine-tailed celestial fox exudes a holy light all over its body, its nine tails dancing freely behind it, and every hair sparkles with a crystal luster.
Hu Liena's eyes turned into a strange purple, and her hair turned into a holy white because of the possession of her martial spirit. Her whole body exuded a mysterious and noble aura, and she was completely different from her previous self.
Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief. "Nana, how do you feel?"
"Feeling..." Hu Liena slowly stood up, took a step forward, and suddenly fell into Xuan Ming's arms.
So fast!
Bibi Dong's eyes changed slightly.
Even a Soul King of the Agility Attack type doesn't have this kind of speed!
"Do you want to test it?" Xuan Ming said.
Hu Liena felt the powerful force in her body and nodded gently, "Yeah."
"Let's go outside." Bibi Dong said.
Xuan Ming and Hu Liena looked at each other, then they flashed and came to a relatively open area outside the hall.
Bibi Dong also followed and stood aside in case of any unexpected situation.
Hu Liena took a deep breath, and the aura on her body surged again. The shadow of the nine-tailed fox appeared and disappeared behind her, emitting a powerful pressure.
She tapped the ground with her toes and rushed towards Xuan Ming like an arrow. Her speed was so fast that she left a trail of afterimages in the air.
Xuan Ming subconsciously took defensive action, but Hu Liena suddenly dispersed after exchanging punches with him, splitting into five phantoms that surrounded him.
"Hallucination?" Xuan Ming frowned slightly.
"No, clone?"
"This is the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox's innate ability, clone." said the Ice Dragon King.
"Every time the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox grows a tail, it can create a clone with the same strength as the original. Moreover, the original and the clone can switch positions at will. Its ability to protect its life is unmatched."
"One hundred percent?" Xuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"That's right." said the Ice Dragon King.
"Moreover, every time a Nine-Tailed Fox grows a tail, it will gain a 10% increase in all attributes. When it grows to nine tails, the main body will have a 90% increase in all attributes under normal circumstances, while the clone will not have any increase."
Xuan Ming's eyes twitched slightly, "Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Brother, what do you think the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox is?" the Ice Dragon King asked curiously.
"If there weren't the rules that prevent soul beasts from becoming gods, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox would be able to directly ascend to become a god once it grows to nine tails. The name Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox itself represents a divine beast."
"Even in ancient times, the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox clan was the top spiritual attribute soul beast, bar none!"
"Is there any limitation to the ability of this clone?" Xuan Ming asked.
"You can't just make it randomly, right?"
"Of course there are limitations. The ability to clone themselves is their life-saving skill. Once the clone is destroyed, they will temporarily lose a tail and the amplification will disappear, which is equivalent to losing a life." said the Ice Dragon King.
"It's going to take a long time to recover."
Xuan Ming took a deep breath and created several thick ice crystal shields around him.
"Does it have any other abilities?"
"Yes, the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan possesses extremely strong mental abilities. Although they are famous for their illusions, their unknown mental attack abilities are even more terrifying." said the Ice Dragon King.
"The fox fire of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, that thing can burn spiritual power."
"Burning mental power?" Xuan Ming was stunned.
"What's the meaning?"
"That's exactly what it means." said the Ice Dragon King.
"The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's fox fire is a flame condensed from spiritual power. It is a mental attack, but it also burns spiritual power, so it is extremely difficult to defend against. If you are not careful, you will be burned into an idiot!"
"And this ability of theirs is extremely hidden, almost no one knows about it, and most of the time it's impossible to defend against. Anyone who knows about this move will be turned into an idiot by them."
"When facing the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, you will either be fooled by the illusion they create, or see through the illusion and be burned into an idiot by the angry Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox!"
Xuan Ming's eyes twitched slightly, "How do you know so clearly?"
"Then why don't you guess how the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan became extinct?" asked the Ice Dragon King.
Xuan Ming was stunned.
"Could it be that they were destroyed by the dragon clan?"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right." said the Ice Dragon King.
"The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox clan perished in the war with the Dragon Clan. I never thought there were still remnants of this thing."
In ancient times, there were only a handful of soul beast races that could compete with the dragon clan, but the Nine-tailed Sky Fox was definitely the bravest among them!
Those naughty foxes even dared to use illusions to cause the dragons to kill each other!
In the end, the Dragon Kings were forced to take action personally and finally destroyed the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan.
After the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline was cut off, there was almost no one in the Sky Fox clan who could cultivate to become a god.
The little girl's fox spirit is a descendant of the celestial fox clan, so after obtaining the Nine-tailed Fox Heart Lotus, she was able to improve her bloodline and evolve her spirit into a nine-tailed celestial fox.
"So..." Xuan Ming's expression looked somewhat unnatural.
"That Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox is messing with me, isn't it because he has a grudge against you?"
In the past, the dragon clan had always been the ruler of the soul beast clan, but according to what the Ice Dragon King said, this nine-tailed celestial fox not only had no respect for the Ice Dragon King, but instead tried every means to "rebel".
"Uh..." The Ice Dragon King was a little embarrassed.
"You could say that."
The Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan and the Dragon clan have a feud of genocide!
Even if the nine-tailed fox is not crazy, it will definitely try every possible way to torment Xuan Ming!
