Chapter 25 - Resonant Heart Eye

Xu Xiaoyou: "?""I want a hug too. You let her hug, but not me." The Substitute said calmly, but his voice was full of grievance.

She covers her face, her Substitute is just like those gloomy little schoolboys who get rejected by girls and secretly break the erasers on their desks from revenge!

"I..." Xu Xiaoyou wanted to refuse but noticed the Substitute’s earnest eyes. On second thought, it’s just a hug, letting him work harder doesn’t cost her anything.

"Sigh." With a light sigh, Xu Xiaoyou made a gesture of one with her hand. "Just once."

"Okay." The Substitute nodded and approached.

After the other party approached, the aura emanating from him made Xu Xiaoyou somewhat uncomfortable. She glanced away; the Substitute was still staring at her, not moving.

"Hug." Xu Xiaoyou closed her eyes, slightly biting her lip, urging.

"You hug me."

Xu Xiaoyou took a deep breath, her face feeling a bit hot, suppressing the urge to choke this guy, she quickly stepped forward to hug him, thinking to solve it quickly.

The softness made her a bit dazed, the body warmth transferred to her, and the warm breath lingering by her ear. So her body is this soft, it’s quite comfortable to hug, Xu Xiaoyou thought.

"Is that enough?"

Xu Xiaoyou spoke, intending to push away the Substitute, but unexpectedly he also hugged her, arms wrapped tightly around her shoulders.

"I’m not a little schoolboy." The Substitute said coldly and unexpectedly.

Xu Xiaoyou widened her eyes and pushed the Substitute far away: "How do you know what I’m thinking?"

"Guessed."

Xu Xiaoyou: "?"

Looking at the eternally expressionless face of the other party, Xu Xiaoyou felt stifled. The other party was just her Substitute, why did she have no initiative at all?

"Now swing the sword." Xu Xiaoyou commanded with a stern face.

This time the Substitute obediently complied, gripping the wooden training sword tightly with both hands, swinging it down forcefully.

A standard slashing motion that utilizes the maximum power of the whole body, its power could be glimpsed from the whistling sound of the breaking wind.

When the Substitute swung the sword, her main body also gained proficiency!

Another sword swing!

Watching the Substitute swing the sword again and again, leaving traces in the air with each slash, Xu Xiaoyou pondered.

She also picked up a training wooden sword and stood next to her Substitute, swinging at the same time.

This time, two Heart Eye proficiency increase notifications popped up consecutively.

She felt an unexpected joy,

This kind of thing actually counts her main body for double talent point gains!

Judging by the speed, she seems to reach one thousand proficiency tonight!

Xu Xiaoyou thought, feeling determined and full of energy, getting right to it! Sliding forward, she raised the sword over her head and slashed down with all her might, falling like a rock...

Three hours later.

In the swords’ shadows, the girl’s posture in swinging the sword grew increasingly agile, with each slash triggering a light resonance with the air, swift and forceful, as if each strike was propelling her forward on the swordplay path, evolving, resonating with Sword Dao!

Each sword was stronger than the last, precise and lethal! Moving like thunder!

Every move was filled with beauty, like a sword art, sketching out her understanding of Sword Dao.

Of course, this was the Substitute.

Xu Xiaoyou, after swinging fifty swords, was already lying on the ground like a tired dog, unable to get up.

Her whole body felt disjointed, her arms too sore to lift.

She obviously didn’t want to slack off, but if the sword swings weren’t effective, proficiency couldn’t increase. Her actions had already deformed from exhaustion and couldn’t gain any proficiency.

If not for the Substitute, even with two sword training cards, she couldn’t have reached a thousand proficiency.

Showing a bit of an embarrassing point is okay, after all, it’s her Substitute, she’s not losing anything.

Then the Substitute slowly put down the sword in his hand, wiped the sweat off his face, massaging his shoulder.

Xu Xiaoyou quickly opened her panel.

Xu Xiaoyou found what she was looking for in the last talent section, suppressing her excitement, she clicked on the resonance introduction.

She had indeed gained the talents of another career!

Xu Xiaoyou felt a bit dizzy, rubbed her eyes, and confirmed several times, still somewhat incredulous.

She suddenly remembered the feeling during Fireball Bombardment before.

Sensing the Fire Element beside her ear cheering, jumping...

It wasn’t her illusion, maybe if the resonance felt stronger, the Fire Element could indeed be hers to command!

Xu Xiaoyou gradually calmed down, her head not clouded by joy.

The Heart Eye she unlocked seems to be a weakened version of Swordswoman’s talent, just looking at the effect of Intent Sword was quite ordinary.

Who’s going to stand still letting her slash a hundred times, a hundred slashes would have minced them into bits already.

As for the effect of Heart-Eye Sword, before entering combat, its effectiveness was yet to be determined.

There’s still three hours left in sword training time, the night is long, she doesn’t plan to let it go to waste.

With the sound of a finger snap, a Character Experience Bonus Card appeared in her hand.

Xu Xiaoyou opted to confirm, the card in her hand gradually dissolved into light and scattered.

She glanced at the Substitute standing beside her.

Substitute: "..."

At night, the curtains swayed in the moonlight.

Lying in bed, the little girl curled up throughout her entire body sleeping soundly, snoring softly. The breeze brushed her frail figure, her little face trembled gently, unconsciously mumbling:

"Home..."

A shadow appeared in front of her, blocking the moonlight, the shadow stretching until it covered her figure.
