Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

Chapter 123 Cutting out the roots
After finishing his work in the laboratory, Zhou Xuan went home.

It was already evening when he arrived home, but Shrek City was still brightly lit. Zhou Xuan walked out of the Soul Guidance Academy and headed straight for his residence.

Pushing open the door, I saw Uncle Wang sitting in the courtyard watching his two children meditating with wide eyes.

"Young Master, you're back." Uncle Wang stood up, bowed, and walked towards Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan chuckled as he looked at the two little ones: "What are they doing?"

A kind smile appeared on Uncle Wang's face: "He's cultivating."

The two little ones couldn't help but glance in this direction when they saw Zhou Xuan.

However, Gou Dan had cultivated for so long that he still had some focus; he only glanced at it a few times before looking away.

However, Xiao Nuan was different. Since her mother passed away, Zhou Xuan had become her closest person, so ever since he returned, her eyes had never left him.

Zhou Xuan waved to her: "Come here."

Speaking of which, he had always loved children in his previous life, and Zhou Xuan had absolutely no resistance to a sensible and adorable little girl like Xiao Nuan.

However, this made Gou Dan feel resentful.

He was relatively calm while the two of them were cultivating, but as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Now that Xiao Nuan has been called away by Zhou Xuan, he feels unbalanced.

Zhou Xuan picked up Xiao Nuan and smiled as he looked at Gou Dan's pitiful little face.

"Alright, you should rest too."

Dog Egg then slowly got up, patted his bottom, and said, "Master, you haven't almost forgotten about me, have you?"

In fact, Zhou Xuan had already formally accepted Gou Dan as his disciple when he set off for Xingluo City, and planned to formally teach him the Yin Five Thunder Technique after he returned.

He just didn't expect that going to a competition would cause so many problems.

After a while, I forgot about him.

Now that Gou Dan had exposed him, he became a little embarrassed: "How could that be? I'm back now, aren't I?"

Dog Egg pouted, "I think you only came back because of Xiao Nuan, right?"

Zhou Xuan glared at him, feigning anger: "How dare you speak to your master like that?!"

Gou Dan knew Zhou Xuan was joking with him, but in order to save face for his master, he went along with it and apologized.

Finally, Zhou Xuan shook his head and chuckled, "You little rascal."

Then he looked at Xiao Nuan in his arms.

"Xiao Nuan, how have you been these past few days? Has Gou Dan bullied you?"

Xiao Nuan shook her head, her two little braids swaying back and forth: "No, Brother Gou Dan is so good to me. He always gives me the food first."

Dog Egg pouted with a touch of arrogance; he wasn't this nice to everyone.

When Xiao Nuan first arrived, he treated her as an ordinary stranger. It was only after hearing about her experiences from Uncle Wang and noticing how well-behaved she was that he started to take extra care of her.

Uncle Wang chuckled and said, "By the way, young master, Xiao Nuan is almost six years old. Shouldn't she awaken her martial spirit?"

Zhou Xuan used his mental power to probe Xiao Nuan's body, then nodded: "Hmm, you already have quite a bit of soul power in your body, and you're about the right age. How about we awaken your martial soul tonight? What do you think?"

“I think it’s a good idea,” Uncle Wang nodded.

Xiao Nuan blinked her eyes and looked at Zhou Xuan: "Brother, am I about to awaken my martial soul?"

She had been living in Star Luo City with her mother, so she had some knowledge of martial spirits.

Then, somewhat nervously, she asked, "Does it cost money?"

After all, in her previous understanding, awakening a martial soul required money.

Both Wang Bo and Zhou Xuan sighed upon hearing this.

Zhou Xuan patted her head: "Don't worry! It's free."

He silently added in his mind, "In the future, I will make it so that children all over the continent will not have to pay to awaken their martial souls."

He then took out a crystal-clear blue crystal from his storage soul tool; this was the Awakening Stone.

"Stand still, put your hands on it, and then close your eyes," Zhou Xuan instructed.

Xiao Nuan obediently did as she was told, placing her hands on the Awakening Stone and closing her eyes.

As Zhou Xuan infused a wisp of soul power, the Awakening Stone began to glow, and a soft blue light enveloped Xiao Nuan's entire body.

Gradually, the light grew brighter and brighter, eventually turning blood red.
"This is..." Uncle Wang opened his mouth in surprise.

Suddenly, a sharp killing intent burst forth from Xiao Nuan as if it were a tangible force, causing the temperature in the entire room to plummet and the air to seem to freeze.

With a flash of blood-red light, a long sword entirely in blood appeared above Xiao Nuan's head.

This murderous intent surged through everyone present like a tidal wave.

Gou Dan involuntarily took a few steps back, his face turned pale, cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. He felt as if he were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

He then quickly recited the incantation in his mind and circulated his soul power, and his complexion improved significantly in an instant.

Neither Wang Bo nor Zhou Xuan were affected by this murderous intent.

It was just a bit astonishing that such a terrifying murderous aura was emanating from such an innocent-looking little girl.

Xiao Nuan, who was at the center of this murderous aura, had her originally cute expression turn cold and stern, and her eyes seemed to reveal a murderous intent.

However, Zhou Xuan could tell that Xiao Nuan was not truly affected by the martial soul, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just changing her expression.

Zhou Xuan chuckled and patted Xiao Nuan's head: "Alright, you can take it back now."

Xiao Nuan nodded, then with a clench of her small hand, the blood-red longsword hanging above her head was retracted into her body.

Her facial expression returned to its previous cute look.

Seeing this, Uncle Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He had been really worried that Xiao Nuan would be affected by the martial spirit.

"Young Master, what kind of martial spirit is this?" Even Uncle Wang had never seen a martial spirit that could exude such terrifying killing intent as soon as it awakened.

Zhou Xuan stroked his chin thoughtfully: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a very ancient martial spirit—the Seven Kill Sword!"

"Seven Kill Sword? That name certainly suits this sword."

Dog Egg finally recovered, his face pale. He hadn't expected that his usually cute little sister's awakened martial soul would be so terrifying.

Zhou Xuan glanced at him and teased, "You got scared so easily? Looks like your cultivation still isn't up to par~"

Dog Egg was a little embarrassed for a moment, but stubbornly said, "I wasn't scared at all, I was just tired from cultivating!"

Zhou Xuan shook his head, not exposing him, but looked at Xiao Nuan: "Xiao Nuan, you have a very good talent."

"Really?" Xiao Nuan seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened, blinking her eyes in surprise. Her reaction startled Zhou Xuan: "You've forgotten everything that just happened?"

Xiao Nuan shook her head: "What just happened? I felt so warm all over, then I fell asleep, and when I woke up I was like this."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan's lips twitched involuntarily. No wonder Xiao Nuan's expression had changed just now, and her demeanor was quite different from usual. It turned out that her account had been hijacked.

This prompted Zhou Xuan to examine Xiao Nuan's body more carefully.

The final conclusion was that there were no problems!

"Never mind, it's fine this way."

"You should go back and rest first. I will formally teach you cultivation tomorrow."

Both of them nodded obediently.

After seeing the two children off, Zhou Xuan stayed in the courtyard with Uncle Wang.

Night had fallen, and the dim yellow light in the courtyard cast a soft glow on their faces.

"Uncle Wang, there's something I need you to do." Zhou Xuan sat on the stone bench, his expression slightly serious.

"Young Master, please speak." Uncle Wang had already guessed that Zhou Xuan's return this time was likely for more than just this one matter.

“There are three people from Shrek Academy named Liu Li, Zhu Haobo, and Sheng Zi. Although their cultivation has been crippled by the dean, which is related to me, I am worried that they will be resentful and cause trouble in the future.”

Zhou Xuan's voice was calm and unhurried, yet it carried a chilling undertone: "I hope they can disappear completely."

Upon hearing that they were from Shrek Academy, Uncle Wang hesitated and asked, "Young Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, they are from Shrek Academy, and their cultivation has been crippled, so they pose no threat to you anymore."

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "After all, they are Shrek Academy's teachers, and also Soul Masters. Even if their cultivation is crippled, who knows if they will have any extraordinary encounters? What if they make a comeback in the future? Wouldn't that be troublesome? It's better to take advantage of their weakness and kill them while they're still alive!"
And like you said, they're already crippled, killing them won't attract any attention, and Shrek Academy won't go to great lengths for three crippled people. But it's still best to do it cleanly.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Bo nodded.

He really wanted to say that no matter what kind of extraordinary encounter it was, it would be very difficult to regain one's cultivation level, so there was no need to be so cautious.

However, considering his young master's uncompromising nature, he remained silent. After all, they were just three cripples; killing them wouldn't cause any real harm.

The next day, Zhou Xuan got up early in the morning, but Wang Bo was nowhere to be seen, presumably out on business.

Only Zhou Xuan and the two little ones remained in the huge courtyard.

Before long, the two little ones also got up, especially Gou Dan. Although his face was calm, he couldn't help but feel a little excited inside.

After all, Zhou Xuan promised last night that he would teach him the cultivation technique today. He had spent almost a year cultivating his mind and body, and although his temperament was already very stable, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment.

Before the morning mist had dissipated, Zhou Xuan had already led his two children to stand in the training ground in the northwest corner of the courtyard.

"Dog Egg, come here."

The latter nodded, trying to calm himself down.

"Close your eyes and concentrate." A golden light shone from Zhou Xuan's fingertip and he lightly touched Gou Dan's brow.

Then Zhou Xuan's voice rang directly in Gou Dan's mind, continuously explaining the key points of Yin Five Thunder cultivation.

After a while, Gou Dan suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be purple-black lightning flashing in his eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Xuan's eyes.

Although I haven't fully mastered it yet, I've already scratched the surface.

As for Xiao Nuan, Zhou Xuan didn't really know how to teach her. The main reason was that his inheritance didn't include any powerful sword techniques. The only one he had was the sword control technique, which was practically Xiao Nuan's natural skill.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan only taught him a moderate and peaceful mental cultivation method, and it was always right to cultivate his soul power first.

Moreover, Xiao Nuan's situation is a little different. According to Zhou Xuan's previous analysis, Xiao Nuan's account will most likely be blocked every time she activates her martial soul, so there is no need to worry about being affected by the martial soul.

After instructing the two, Zhou Xuan was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he lay in the courtyard and watched the two little ones cultivate.

With Uncle Wang not around, he was worried about leaving the two of them alone at home.

This wait is just one day.

By evening, Uncle Wang finally returned.

However, a faint smell of blood could still be smelled on his body.

"Uncle Wang, why do you smell strange?" Xiao Nuan sniffed and clung to Uncle Wang like a kitten.

Gou Dan, standing nearby, steadied himself and scratched his head, saying, "There's nothing there, Xiao Nuan. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No! It just has a strange smell." Xiao Nuan shook her head, looking certain.

Zhou Xuan guessed why.

There was indeed a faint smell of blood on Uncle Wang's body, but you definitely couldn't smell it with your nose.

The only explanation is that Xiao Nuan's martial soul is indeed very sensitive to auras like killing intent.

Who knows, Xiao Nuan's future achievements might even surpass those of the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul owner from ten thousand years ago.

"Alright, you've practiced all day, you should rest now."

After the two left, Zhou Xuan looked at Wang Bo and asked, "Is everything done?"

Uncle Wang nodded: "Don't worry, young master! There will be absolutely no trace of the body!"

Since Uncle Wang said so, Zhou Xuan naturally believed him: "That's good. Don't blame me for being too cautious. Things have really been going on a bit beyond my expectations lately, so any threatening things must be nipped in the bud as soon as possible."

"I understand, young master!"

"That's good. I'm not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. They provoked me first, which is why I acted this way. Now that you're back, I'll be leaving now. I still have things to do at the academy."

"it is good!"

After returning to the academy, Zhou Xuan went straight to the laboratory.

For him, the most important thing right now is to get the computer working.

When he arrived at the laboratory, he found that everyone was there, and the screens and various rare metals had already been delivered.

The group was curiously examining the screen.

Upon seeing Zhou Xuan arrive, they all greeted him.

"Senior Brother Zhou, is this screen from the Sun Moon Empire? It's incredibly ingenious!"

The boy next to him curled his lip and said, "What's so amazing about it? Didn't we make our own screens for the Soul Guide Phone before? It's just that they weren't this big."

Zhou Xuan stepped forward and nodded in agreement: "That's right! We shouldn't over-mythologize the Sun Moon Empire and assume that the things they make are necessarily inferior to ours."
Like the Soul Guidance Phone, as far as I know, no one there has made it, so we need to learn the technology! Once we learn it, it's ours!

Anyway, there's no such thing as copyright in Douluo Continent. As long as you learn it, you can use it!
