Soul Master Manual

Chapter 19

The golden afterglow outside the window is mixed with a little bit of dimness.

The house was still the same old house, and the courtyard was still the same. Li Changan stood at the door of his house with mixed emotions in his heart.

"Mom, brother is back!"

squeak--

The door of the house was opened, and a middle-aged woman appeared in Li Changan's sight. While opening the door, she reprimanded: "What are you arguing about? Why did you leave school so early today?"

Seeing the woman, a familiar feeling welled up in his heart, and Li Changan couldn't help sighing.

"A familiar smell."

The scene in front of him coincided with the memory in his mind.

He was still a little apprehensive at first, but when his aunt Zhao Lijuan opened her mouth, it felt like everything was supposed to be like this.

The sense of strangeness and unfamiliarity disappeared in a flash.

"Mom, brother is back! Brother also tamed the spirit beast, and now he is a master of spirits!" Lu Chan pouted, aggrieved and happy at the same time.

"Chang'an?!"

Aunt Zhao Lijuan didn't seem to hear the second half of Lu Chan's words at all, and she looked at Li Chang'an with surprise and distress in her eyes.

"Auntie." Li Changan grinned, rubbed his nose and shouted with a smile.

"Meow~~"

"Squeak~~"

The two little guys greeted each other politely.

"Is this a spirit beast?"

Only now did Zhao Lijuan notice the existence of Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding, and she was somewhat frightened.

"Auntie, it's okay, they are all my partners, very good." Li Changan hugged the two little ones and comforted them.

"Oh." Zhao Lijuan just came back to her senses, and hurriedly rubbed her hands on the apron, "Didn't I ask you to call in advance when you come back? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Saying that, get out of the way so that both Lu Chan and Li Changan can enter.

"Your uncle hasn't come back from the stall yet. We agreed to let him kill an old hen for you when you come back."

Aunt Zhao Lijuan kept talking, but she didn't stop moving her hands.

He took out the iced watermelon from the old refrigerator in the corner, and cut the watermelon with a slightly rusty movement.

"Fortunately, you called that day, and I asked Lao Lu to prepare a watermelon. It won't go bad in the refrigerator."

Seeing the iced watermelon, Lu Chan was the first to puff out her mouth in a gesture of anger.

"Mom, you refused to let me eat what I wanted yesterday, but you happily took it out as soon as my brother came back today. You are obviously partial, huh!!"

After all, the action of taking the watermelon was not slow at all.

Li Changan couldn't help laughing "hehe" twice.

"Auntie still loves me the most."

"You guys."

Zhao Lijuan shook her head helplessly, but looking at Lu Chan and Li Changan, she was actually very satisfied in her heart.

But Li Changan didn't take a few bites when he suddenly felt two fiery gazes.

That was extremely hot.

If eyes could kill, he might have fallen for it.

back.

Only then did I notice the two little guys with tears at the corners of their mouths and eager eyes.

click - click -

Break off the two petals and hand them to Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding respectively.

"Don't look, look at the iced watermelon and it turns into a grilled watermelon."

"Meow~~"

After taking the watermelon, Xiao Huan doesn't care what Li Changan is talking about.

Go down in one bite.

The cold and crisp taste made the little guy shiver, and after biting, the sweet juice splashed out directly.

Comfortable--

Xiaodouding is much crisper, and the head covering is dry.

The face is not as big as a watermelon rind, and the whole head is buried in it.

Seeing the cute and harmless appearance of these two little guys, Zhao Lijuan's heart was half relieved.

"Brother, they are so cute." Lu Chan was completely overwhelmed by the cute appearance of Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding.

Eyes full of liking.

"Touch?"

"is it okay?"

"of course."

"So soft"

Looking at her daughter and nephew, Zhao Lijuan had a kind face.

"Wait here first, I'll cook for you."

When Zhao Lijuan's dinner was about to be ready, Li Chang'an's uncle Lu Yongguo also came back pushing the cart.

There is nothing else in Ningyuan County, but it is rich in mineral deposits.

The Gu Li that the Public Security Bureau met before was the owner of the Helong Mine, one of the largest mines in Ningyuan County.

When Lu Yongguo was young, he worked with Li Changan's father in the mine.

Later, there was a disaster in Ningyuan County, which caused an accident in the mine, and Li Changan's parents were buried below forever.

Although Lu Yongguo survived, the root cause of his illness was also branded.

Fortunately, Lu Yongguo has another skill to make a living, making tofu.

His tofu is famous even in the whole county.

"Old Lu is back!"

Seeing Lu Yongguo, Li Changan, who was completely used to it, greeted him carelessly.

Since he was a child, he has been shouting "Old Lu" one by one until he grows up.

Lu Yongguo speaks very little, and is regarded as an honest person in the eyes of others. Sometimes he quarreled with his aunt Zhao Lijuan and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Hearing Li Chang'an's shout, Lu Yongguo was stunned, and said "Mmm" softly.

He also noticed Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding beside Li Changan and Lu Chan, and took a deep look at them without saying a word.

"Dad, let me tell you, my brother is now a spirit master! Moreover, Yangcheng University hired him as an official lecturer, and his salary has been many times higher."

Lu Chan didn't care about the sweat on Lu Yongguo's body, took his arm, and proudly introduced Li Changan's "achievements".

That way, it seems that she is more proud than herself.

Li Changan has been Lu Chan's "idol" since he was a child.

When I was young, whether it was studying, fighting, or doing anything, I was always the one who rushed to the front.

"it is good."

Lu Yongguo still didn't say much, but just responded.

Li Chang'an and Lu Chan have long been used to Lu Yongguo's reticent appearance.

The two big men heard Lu Chan chirping like a summer cicada.

From things about Li Chang'an to things about Lu Yongguo, from subduing spirit beasts to the funny things that happened when Lu Yongguo made tofu this morning, etc.

Neither Li Changan nor Lu Yongguo wanted to interrupt this warmth.

It continued until Zhao Lijuan finished dinner and greeted several people for dinner.

"This is for you two little ones."

After everyone sat down, Zhao Lijuan brought two small bowls and put them in front of Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding.

"Meow?!"

Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding looked at each other, showing surprise.

And theirs?
Zhao Lijuan said with a smile:

"Since it's Chang'an's spirit beast, we'll be a family from now on."

family?

Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding couldn't react for a while.

But Li Changan understood Zhao Lijuan's intention in doing so.

She was afraid that she could not afford the cultivation of the spirit beasts, and that the two spirit beasts would leave him at that time, so she wanted to build a good relationship with them now.

In case something really happens in the future, I hope that even if they don't look at Li Changan's face, they also look at her Zhao Lijuan's face, and make more concessions.

Zhao Lijuan is not well-educated, but she does everything for the good of Li Changan.

Both she and Lu Yongguo have treated him as their own son since childhood. As long as Lu Chan has something, he will definitely have it.

Even if Lu Chan didn't have it, Li Changan might have it.

It's just that they don't talk about it.

It was a heartwarming meal.

Even though Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding showed off half of the watermelon together, they still ate a lot of vegetables.

Prove to Zhao Lijuan with actions that the dishes she cooks are delicious.

Still giving a thumbs up.

It made Zhao Lijuan's mouth never close from beginning to end.

This is home.
At five o'clock in the morning, the morning sky in Ningyuan County was just getting bright.

The grove behind Li Changan's bungalow.

"Xiao Huan, come here."

whoosh-

A black cat jumped out of the forest, not slow, panting, it was warmed up.

Adjustment!

Li Chang'an put his palm on Xiao Huan's head, and then the value about Xiao Huan appeared in Li Chang'an's sight.

【Name】: Phantom Cat

【Effort】: 13
【Efficiency】: 69
(Phantom): 24
(Stealing): 21
(Dancing Claw): 24
Adjust the efficiency value of "Dancing Claw" to 30 points, which is 5 points higher than B-class proficiency.

"Go ahead, Dancing Claw."

After finishing these, Li Changan waved his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation or doubt, Xiao Huan turned his head and popped out his claws, and slammed hard at the trunk of a nearby tree.

boom! ! !
The leaves shook like rain, the trunk collapsed and mixed with a large number of pieces of wood, and three smooth scratches on the cut surface were abruptly left on it.

After performing the "Dancing Claw" this time, Xiao Huan didn't immediately return to Li Chang'an's side, instead, he stood there and put his chin to his chin to think for a while.

"Meow~~"

When he was almost done thinking, he turned his head and returned to Li Changan's side again.

"Is it over?"

"Meow." Xiao Huan nodded.

"Okay, come again."

shhhhh--

Through repeated training, Xiao Huan tries to feel the state of "dancing claws" with higher proficiency again and again, and finds the feeling from it.

And Xiao Huan's contemplation time after each performance is getting longer and longer.

period.

Inevitably, there were scars on Xiao Huan's claws.

But this time.

Li Chang'an prepared the primary healing potion made from the "congealed seeds" from the ancient mother-in-law in advance.

One "condensation seed" made three bottles.

According to Granny Gu's description, as long as the bones are not injured, this potion can complete the cure in a very short time.

There is no need for so many concussion injuries like Xiaohuan's.

He dipped it in with a cotton swab and applied it to Xiao Huan's wound.

"Woooo-"

At this moment, Xiao Huan cried out directly.

It was a sour sound.

I don't know if it's painful or cool.

"Okay, let's go."

Li Changan wiped the sweat off his forehead, reckoning that with his current state, he wouldn't be able to adjust a few times.

When he is almost at his limit, he can start the next training program for Xiao Huan.

And just as it estimated its own state, it listened to——

boom! !

The overwhelmed little tree broke in response.

Xiao Huan fell into deep thought for a long time after "Pa-Ta" landed.

"Ok?"

Li Changan stood up slowly, with anticipation in his eyes.

After a while.

"Meow!!"

I understand!I understand! !

(Dancing Claw): 25
Li Changan looked happy.

The "Dancing Claw" of B level proficiency!
And it was without him adjusting the value.

This means that if there is another fight like Fangtu Crab in the future, if Xiao Huan hits it with his claws, not only half of its claws will be broken, but at least the whole claw will be broken.

To know.

For most wild spirit beasts, most of the skills belong to D-level proficiency, C-level proficiency is very rare, and B-level proficiency is almost rare. It is only possible to see it in the hand.

With the improvement of this proficiency, Xiao Huan's normal combat power has increased by at least [-]%.

"Show me the claws."

bass!
Under the morning light, the sharp claws reflected a cold glow.

Ding--

Li Changan flicked it lightly, making a crisp sound.

Skilled claws of class B are already as hard as steel, and their sharpness is even more exaggerated.

It's no wonder that using the "Dancing Claw" with level B proficiency many times before has caused physical damage to Xiao Huan.

"How does your body feel?" Li Changan asked.

"Meow, woo"

Xiao Huan lowered his head and thought for a while.

I feel that my physical fitness seems to be a little stronger, and my spirituality in my body seems to be a little bit more. The improvement is not great, but it does exist.

Li Changan nodded.

It seems that the improvement of the proficiency of spirit beast skills also improves the spirit beast itself.

"Give."

Immediately he took out the dried fish.

Xiao Huan's eyes lit up instantly, and he took a deep breath.

The crisp sound of "Kacha Kacha" came from his mouth as Xiao Huan narrowed his eyes.

"Little Bean Ding."

He called Xiaodouding again and fed him a pine nut.

Then let the two little guys go to the next round of training together.

His "soul" is almost exhausted, and he needs to slow down.

There is no need for him to intervene in the subsequent training.

He has already arranged the training content.

After the two little ones went to the next round of training, Li Changan took out the Anfen No. B32 file.

He watched part of it last night.

Today I just took advantage of this gap to study and study again, pondering.
