28: Chapter 28 Falling in Love with Su Ling, Huo Wu is Smitten

"Bind Huo Wu!" Su Ling did not hesitate; there was no need to think about it.

[Ding... Congratulations to the Host for successfully binding the Goddess Huo Wu.]

[Bound Goddess: Huo Wu]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]

[Favorability: 60 (Quite favorable)]

[Binding Effect: The Host can gain 10% of the bound Goddess's daily Cultivate effect without reducing the bound Goddess's cultivation speed.]

[Binding Skill: Charm (Passive skill; when the bound Goddess Huo Wu is within 50 meters of the Host, Charm increases by 20%)]

What kind of skill is this?

Does Brother still need to increase Charm?

[Ding... Huo Wu's favorability +10, obtained Yellow Treasure Chest * 5, Purple Treasure Chest * 2]

[Ding... Huo Wu's favorability reached 70 (A bit like)]

It's already at seventy. Su Ling suddenly opened his eyes and found Huo Wu staring at him blankly, just like a fangirl.

To take down Huo Wu so quickly—wouldn't Feng Xiaotian vomit blood if he saw this?

"Brother Su! I..." Huo Wu realized that drool was actually spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Instantly turning around, Huo Wu hurriedly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, her pretty Face flushed red under the firelight.

She was actually drooling while looking at a man—was this really her?

Although the man in front of her was truly very good-looking and handsome, she shouldn't be like this, right?

Huo Wu, what is wrong with you?

Have you never seen a man before?

Actually, this really couldn't be blamed on her; the main reason was that the passive skill Charm she brought to Su Ling was also having an effect on her.

While she was watching Su Ling and falling for him on her own.

Coupled with the additional 20% Charm, it would be strange if Huo Wu's favorability didn't increase.

"Huo Wu, are you okay?" Su Ling asked.

Since the other party's favorability had already reached seventy, the point of "a bit of liking," Su Ling also began to change his attitude toward Huo Wu.

"N-no, I'm fine. Brother Su, how big is your academy?" Huo Wu felt a bit embarrassed and quickly found a topic.

Su Ling said, "Not big. There are actually fewer than ten students."

"What kind of academy is that! Wouldn't you not even be able to put together a team to participate in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament?" Huo Wu asked in surprise.

Su Ling said, "It's fine. There's still more than a year left, right? What if we manage to put one together?"

Huo Wu looked helpless, thinking, what could a team put together like that actually do?

"Brother Su, I already told you during the day—come to our academy. As long as you come, you will be our captain, our boss. We will all listen to you."

"Moreover, we could also form a more complete team, definitely stronger than those few people you've cobbled together. In our team, you will definitely be able to go further, and it wouldn't be a waste of your Soul Power and talent."

Huo Wu looked at Su Ling; in front of him, her usual arrogance had completely vanished.

Su Ling said, "Huo Wu, if you were asked to give up your academy to join a better one with more prospects and a better chance of achieving good results in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, would you be willing?"

"This... ask me to join another academy?" Huo Wu didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

"Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself. Huo Wu, you are a smart girl; you should understand what I mean." Su Ling looked at Huo Wu and said.

Huo Wu hesitated for a good while before responding: "Brother Su, I understand. I won't pester you to join anymore, but I have one request, please agree to it."

"Go ahead."

"If your academy hasn't formed a team to participate in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, then can you promise to join my team when the time comes?" Huo Wu looked at Su Ling with hope.

Longing! Urgency! Pity! Su Ling could see her complicated emotions in Huo Wu's eyes.

"Fine. If my academy doesn't form a team to participate in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, then I will join your team." Su Ling promised.

This promise was as good as saying nothing, after all, Shrek Academy's participation in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament was almost guaranteed.

However, Su Ling's promise made Huo Wu very happy. In her view, it wasn't that easy to assemble a team, and when the time came, wouldn't Su Ling have to come find her!

[Ding... Huo Wu's favorability +5, obtained Yellow Treasure Chest * 4, Black Treasure Chest * 1]

A Black Treasure Chest—a Black Treasure Chest actually appeared again.

Su Ling was excited!

Huo Wu was also very happy and directly lunged over, hugging Su Ling.

The favorability of seventy-five, "a bit of liking," made her unable to help herself.

Zhu Zhuqing's favorability wasn't low, but as a cold person, she wasn't good at expressing it. Huo Wu was different; once she decided on something, she would definitely strive for it actively.

This was also the reason why she insisted on chasing after Su Ling.

A girl who dares to act!

The feeling of being hugged was truly wonderful; that pure, maidenly fragrance was refreshing and delightful.

However, after hugging for just a short while, Huo Wu retreated.

"It's a deal then, you can't go back on your word." Huo Wu confirmed again.

Su Ling said, "Mm, whoever goes back on their word is a dog."

Pfft...

Huo Wu laughed, laughing very happily, not realizing at all that she was falling for Su Ling bit by bit.

"Brother Su, since that's the case, I should return to the academy. I can't let everyone worry." Huo Wu said.

Decisive in her actions—truly worthy of being Huo Wu.

Su Ling said, "It's late. Why not rest for a bit? I'll send you back tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Huo Wu originally wanted to refuse, but her mouth seemed to be out of her control; she seemed to really want Su Ling to send her back.

Huo Wu, what is wrong with you?

Could it be that you've taken a fancy to him!

Huo Wu was also asking her own heart—how could she have fallen for someone she just met in less than a day?

"Rest. You were injured during the day. Recover a bit, and I will Guard you." Su Ling said.

Thinking of this, Su Ling took a tent out from his spirit tool.

"This is one I've used before. Don't mind it."

"Thank you!" Huo Wu did not refuse. After Su Ling set up the tent, she went inside.

[Ding... Huo Wu's favorability +1, obtained Purple Treasure Chest * 1]

Very good, favorability increased again!

Su Ling looked at the System panel, his gaze falling on the treasure chests.

Remaining unopened treasure chests: White * 70, Yellow * 45, Purple * 7, Black * 1.

"System, exchange thirty Yellow Treasure Chests for three Purple Treasure Chests, and then exchange the Purple Treasure Chests for a Black Treasure Chest."

[Ding... Congratulations to the Host, successfully exchanged for Black Treasure Chest * 1]

Thus, the Black Treasure Chests became two.

Su Ling continued: "Open both Black Treasure Chests."

[Ding... Opened Black Treasure Chest * 2. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a ten-thousand-year rare medicinal herb, Fire Cloud Ganoderma * 1, and Eight Desolations Fist (Can be directly instilled to possess Major Achievement in Eight Desolations Fist)]

No way! I can learn it directly?

Su Ling's Carefree Travel and Concentration Technique both required self-study. The Concentration Technique had already been mastered (introductory level), and the Carefree Travel movement technique had reached Minor Achievement after so many days.

Very good, the System directly instilled Major Achievement in Eight Desolations Fist into me!

Su Ling's mind stirred, and it seemed as if a segment of memory had been added to his mind—the memory of learning the Eight Desolations Fist, as if he had practiced it for decades since he was a child.

Not only that, but his body had also changed.

In an instant, it felt like decades. Su Ling immediately got up, went not far away, and began to execute the fist technique directly.

Eight Desolations Fist: one punch, one heaven. There are eight punches in total. Each punch can increase fist power by 30%. The eighth punch can even reach 3.5 times one's own fist power.

Each punch is different; there is no need to slowly stack them.

The key is that the Eight Desolations Fist also has a ultimate move. Comprehending 'Eight Wasteland Unity' allows one to throw the ninth punch, which can erupt with more than five times one's own fist power.

Five times the fist power—it doesn't seem like a high increase.

But this is Douluo Continent; erupting with more than five times the power is already very strong.

After all, the Martial Soul Avatar of some powerful Spirit Masters only increases power by about 300%.

However, the Major Achievement in Eight Desolations Fist instilled by the System did not include Eight Wasteland Unity.

A slight regret, but this also greatly improved Su Ling's combat power.

Another thing is that this fist technique still has a drawback: it cannot be used continuously, and excessive use causes damage to the body.

The commotion from Su Ling practicing his punches was not small, and it also roused Huo Wu, who was resting in the tent.

"Did he... did he go easy on me in his previous fight? I probably wouldn't be able to take two of his punches." Huo Wu exclaimed, finding Su Ling more and more terrifying the more she looked at him.

[Ding... Huo Wu's favorability +1, obtained Purple Treasure Chest * 1]

Hearing the System's sound, Su Ling stopped.

"Huo Wu, since we met for the first time today, we can consider it fate. Let me give you an Opportunity." Su Ling directly took out the ten-thousand-year rare medicinal herb, Fire Cloud Ganoderma, from the System.

The System provided an explanation: The ten-thousand-year Fire Cloud Ganoderma can be consumed by ordinary fire-attribute Spirit Masters. It can increase Soul Power, enhance the power of fire-attribute Soul Power, and also has a certain effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the primordial essence.

Although this ten-thousand-year Fire Cloud Ganoderma is not as good as an immortal-grade herb and does not have the effect of significantly increasing potential, it is not far off.

Huo Wu's injury was not serious, and using this medicinal herb could also help her recover, so it wouldn't affect her consuming it now.

"This is... a ten-thousand-year Fire Cloud Ganoderma?"

Unexpectedly, Huo Wu recognized this medicinal herb in Su Ling's hand at a glance.

"You actually know about Fire Cloud Ganoderma?" Su Ling asked.

Huo Wu nodded and said, "Our Blazing Academy has records of Fire Cloud Ganoderma."

"Didn't I tell you before that our academy has the best fire-attribute cultivation ground? Beneath our academy, there is a special Earth Heart Fire Vein, and inside it, there is a Fire Cloud Ganoderma, only it's only a hundred years old."

"The ten-thousand-year Fire Cloud Ganoderma was picked from our academy a hundred years ago. It was consumed by a level 41 Spirit Ancestor, who directly rose to level 43 Peak after consuming it. Not only that, but their own fire-attribute power was also enhanced by more than 50%."

"Brother Su, are you... are you sure you want to give this to me?" Huo Wu's heartbeat accelerated as she spoke, and her body trembled slightly.

She also wanted to have higher Soul Power, and she also wanted to become stronger. The ten-thousand-year Fire Cloud Ganoderma was an Opportunity.

"This thing is useless to me now, so I'll give it to you." Su Ling said.

Still the same saying: if you don't lose the bait, you won't catch the fish.

This time, he would experiment to see how much favorability Huo Wu would increase for him with the Fire Cloud Ganoderma.

After all, the Black Treasure Chest for the Fire Cloud Ganoderma itself was also farmed from her.

Increasing favorability and dropping treasure chests—this is a virtuous cycle.

[Ding... Huo Wu's favorability +4, Yellow Treasure Chest * 2, Purple Treasure Chest * 2]

[Ding... Huo Wu's favorability reached 80 (Already in love with you)]

See, didn't the benefits come again?

Making Huo Wu fall in love with him in one day—conquering Huo Wu is just that simple.
