NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 225
225. Twin Dance Sword Technique and Embrace
Su Kexin encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation, and then she saw Zhao Zhou bringing Lin Nuo over, feeling very happy.
Senior brother seems to have just been settled, yet he came over so quickly.
I wonder why senior brother came over, is it to check on my cultivation?
Lin Nuo could also sense the faint spiritual light emanating from the Phoenix Sword in his hand, seemingly because it sensed the Phoenix Sword in Su Kexin’s hand.
There was no such feeling before, but now, the situation of the twin swords resonating appeared.
It is likely that the previous level was low, and the sensing ability was not enough. Now that the level has increased, the sensing ability has become stronger.
Lin Nuo still didn’t know what would happen with the increased sensing ability of these two swords. It is likely to increase power, otherwise, the name of the Phoenix Twin Swords would be meaningless.
Su Kexin, full of anticipation, went to join Lin Nuo and the others, raising a smile as lovely as a peach blossom:
“Senior brother, Senior Zhao, why did you come over?”
“Kexin, your senior brother requested to come to see you, so I brought him over. How is your cultivation going?”
“Not very optimistic, still at a standstill, letting down Senior Zhao’s high expectations.”
“It’s okay, Kexin. Cultivation cannot be rushed. Maybe you need to take a break or study other techniques.”
Zhao Zhou chuckled lightly and said, “Su Kexin’s main attribute is the fire spiritual root. The sword techniques of the fire spiritual root have a characteristic: they have a wide range and great destructive power, but the strength is hard to control, and it’s common to accidentally injure teammates. Zhao Zhou hopes that Su Kexin can control the intensity and range of her sword techniques.”
Judging from the shattered and tragic state of the valley, Su Kexin hasn’t been able to control her power well, especially now that her strength has increased, making it even harder to control.
Lin Nuo roughly glanced around and exclaimed, “Oh my, did this valley offend you? How could you be so ruthless and cut it up like this?”
Su Kexin finds it difficult to control her power, even after an outburst. This is her inherent flaw.
However, her inability to control her power doesn’t affect her role as the protagonist. As long as her output is sufficient, it doesn’t matter if she can control it or not. Just cutting is enough.
Thinking about it this way, Su Kexin seems more like a villain, capable of unleashing a massacre at any moment.
Terrifying indeed.
Zhao Zhou turned to Lin Nuo and said, “Little brother, why don’t you practice the Twin Dance Sword Technique with Kexin? You both possess the Phoenix Twin Swords, and it would be a waste not to practice a sword technique suitable for dual cultivation.”
“The Twin Dance Sword Technique? Sure, sure, senior brother, let’s practice the Twin Dance Sword Technique!”
At the mention of the Twin Dance Sword Technique, Su Kexin’s previous frustration vanished. Even if she couldn’t control her power well for the time being, practicing the Twin Dance Sword Technique with her senior brother was more important.
“Alright.”
Lin Nuo agreed. On one hand, if he practiced the Twin Dance Sword Technique with Su Kexin, it would distract her, preventing her from focusing on her original cultivation.
After all, the Twin Dance Sword Technique requires cooperation between two people. Su Kexin can’t practice it alone. Even if she practices, without Lin Nuo’s cooperation in actual combat, it would be in vain.
On the other hand, Lin Nuo wanted to see the effect of the Phoenix Twin Swords combined with the Twin Dance Sword Technique in their current state.
The Twin Dance Sword Technique can be practiced right here; there’s no need to find another place. The rock walls of this valley can withstand their fierce attacks.
“Alright, senior brother, before we start training, we need to perform a small ritual.”
Su Kexin giggled, spreading her arms and lightly standing on tiptoe.
This action…
Lin Nuo remembered something. This little girl once said that practicing the Twin Dance Sword Technique requires mutual trust, and a hug symbolizes that trust.
A deep hug would make Su Kexin feel very secure.
To be honest, Lin Nuo had only glanced at the Twin Dance Sword Technique and still didn’t know if this requirement was part of the technique.
“Alright then.”
Lin Nuo agreed, slightly spreading his arms. Su Kexin immediately hugged him tightly, burying herself in his chest.
Su Kexin exuded a scent similar to peach blossoms, which was very pleasant and comforting.
It wasn’t the scent of perfume but her natural body fragrance. Lin Nuo used to think it was her bath products when they were in the spiritual pool, but it wasn’t. She always had this delightful fragrance.
Just as force is mutual, so is scent. As Lin Nuo inhaled Su Kexin’s body fragrance, Su Kexin also smelled Lin Nuo’s scent.
This is the scent of senior brother, a familiar scent. She realized it had been a long time since she hugged her senior brother. A day apart feels like three autumns, and how many springs and autumns have passed?
Su Kexin didn’t care that Zhao Zhou was nearby and didn’t want to let go. She wanted to keep hugging Lin Nuo, clinging to him. Her senior brother’s chest was the warmest place, never feeling cold at any time.
Each hug lasted a long time. Su Kexin, being of the fire spiritual root, was warm even in cold places, like a large warm baby.
Moreover, Su Kexin was the kind of petite and charming girl like a peach blossom. If he put aside their grievances, Lin Nuo would have wanted to hold her.
Hugging the protagonist also had its significance. At least it could help him overcome his fear of her. He couldn’t just assume that she would kill him over every little thing.
When they hugged, the Phoenix Twin Swords emitted a stronger spiritual light, and more powerful spiritual energy began to surge. In that moment, Lin Nuo had an illusion that he had already ascended to a higher level of strength.
After hugging for a while, they finally separated, leaving each other’s scent behind.
【Hehe, hugging senior brother feels so good, but it would be even better if we were closer.】
“Alright, we can start cultivating now.”
Lin Nuo raised the Phoenix Sword in his hand, feeling the spiritual power and energy within it. It seemed to have increased after getting closer to Su Kexin.
However, Lin Nuo had forgotten many moves, so Su Kexin explained them to him in detail, interspersed with her own “moves.”
These “moves” were nothing more than ways she came up with to get closer to Lin Nuo, such as holding hands, putting an arm around his shoulder, and other intimate actions.
After practicing for a while, Lin Nuo also displayed high-level swordsmanship, splitting a large pile of valley stones in half.
They were like the wings of a phoenix, working together, complementing each other, achieving an effect greater than the sum of their parts.
Unknowingly, Zhao Zhou had already left. Lin Nuo and Su Kexin practiced for most of the day, consuming a lot of spiritual energy, and then took a break.
The water source of Zifeng Valley flowed slowly from the peak, the river was crystal clear. They ran to the river to drink the sweet celestial river water, and then rested by the side.
“Senior brother, senior brother, eat celestial fruit~!”
Su Kexin picked some red celestial fruits and sat beside Lin Nuo.
“Come on, senior brother, open your mouth, ah~”
“I can eat by myself.”
“Uh~ I want to feed you.”
Su Kexin directly brought the celestial fruit to Lin Nuo’s mouth.
