The remaining violent aura on the yellow Soul Ring had completely dissipated, becoming docile and pure as it steadily hovered beneath her, gradually merging with her own energy.
"Buzz—"
A faint hum resonated from within Xue Na's body, and the fluctuations of her Soul Power suddenly surged.
Her original level 10 Soul Power instantly broke through its constraints, stabilizing firmly at level 11.
Xue Na abruptly opened her eyes, a flash of pleasant surprise gleaming within them.
She raised her small hand, and the Lightning Soul in her palm had solidified several times more than before.
Purple lightning crackled and sparked, faintly emitting crisp thunderclaps.
Xue Na stood up from the ground and wrapped her arms around Su Yu's leg.
"Brother! I succeeded!"
Su Yu looked down at the little one clinging to his leg, his eyes brimming with laughter.
He reached out and gently ruffled Xue Na's soft hair.
"Mhm, our Xue Na is the most amazing."
His voice carried a smile as he bent down and lifted her from the ground with one arm.
"Can you feel the power inside you? It belongs to you, and it will only grow stronger from now on."
Xue Na buried her face in the crook of his neck, nodding vigorously, her voice still tinged with uncontained excitement:
"Mhm! Xue Na feels like she has endless strength!"
Nearby, Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks, her small mouth pouted so much it could hang an oil pot.
Her beautiful large eyes were full of accusation, staring directly at Su Yu:
"Brother Husband is mean! You didn't hold Rongrong like that earlier!"
Her tone carried a mix of coquettish grievance and a hint of stubborn defiance.
Seeing this, the laughter in Su Yu's eyes deepened. He bent down smoothly and, before Ning Rongrong could react, his other arm had already securely scooped under her knees, lifting her up as well.
"Ah!"
Ning Rongrong gasped in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around Su Yu's neck, her face instantly flushing bright red.
Her previous accusatory demeanor vanished without a trace, replaced only by bashfulness and delight.
She secretly glanced up, saw Su Yu looking down at her, and quickly hid her face against his chest, though the tips of her ears turned crimson as if about to bleed.
"Here you go now, isn't that right?"
Su Yu chuckled, bouncing the two little ones in his arms, holding one securely in each arm.
Nestled in his embrace, Ning Rongrong secretly peeked at Xue Na beside her.
Seeing the other girl watching her with wide, round eyes, she proudly lifted her chin.
She subtly snuggled closer into Su Yu's embrace, tightening her small arms around his neck a little more.
Xue Na reached out and lightly touched Ning Rongrong's sleeve, saying clearly:
"Rongrong sister is great too."
"Of course she is."
Ning Rongrong hummed, though the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upward.
"Alright, Xue Na, tell brother, what is your first Spirit Ability?"Hearing Su Yu's question, Xue Na placed her small hand on his forearm and gave a light push, with a hint of a spoiled tone: "Brother, put me down please.""
Su Yu complied and set Xue Na down, his gaze full of anticipation.
Xue Na steadied herself, took two steps forward, and raised her small hand. The purple Lightning Soul ignited in her palm, accompanied by crackling thunder sounds in the air.
The yellow Soul Ring at her feet also began to rotate slowly, its glow intertwining with the lightning of the Martial Soul, lending her small figure an added sharpness.
"Brother, look!"
She lifted her small face, her voice brimming with excitement.
"My first Spirit Ability is called Leopard Shadow Thunder Mark!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she channeled her Soul Power, and the lightning in her palm suddenly surged.
A purple leopard phantom appeared behind her. After the phantom let out a roar, a leopard head mark appeared on Xue Na's forehead.
It seemed as if a purple lightning flash was churning within her eyes.
Her speed also appeared to instantly increase by several degrees. When she stepped in place, she left behind fragmented afterimages, as if wrapped in a layer of flowing lightning.
"This Spirit Ability can activate Lightning Form when used!"
Xue Na explained while demonstrating, her small face full of pride.
"And in this form, my strength, speed, Soul Power, and other attributes will all increase by fifty percent!"
She paused, as if remembering something important, and hurriedly added:
"And also! Big brother, listen to me, this enhancement will increase along with my Soul Power!"
"Every time I gain another Soul Ring in the future, the boost to all attributes will increase by another ten percent!"
"This Spirit Ability is really powerful!"
Su Yu's voice carried a hint of laughter.
"Among enhancement-type Spirit Abilities, Xue Na's ability is quite impressive."
Su Yu gently placed Ning Rongrong on the ground, then walked over to a tree about as thick as a bowl nearby. Turning back to Xue Na, he said:
"Xue Na, come try out your first Spirit Ability. Attack this tree and let's see."
"Alright!"
Xue Na responded crisply, trotting over to stand before the tree. After taking a deep breath, a flash of seriousness appeared in her eyes.
She clenched her fist, the yellow Soul Ring at her feet suddenly glowing brightly, and fine purple thunder patterns instantly swirled around her body.
Her originally petite figure seemed wrapped in a layer of flowing lightning, even her fist faintly shimmering with electrical energy.
"Ha!"
With a light shout, her small fist charged with lightning power slammed into the tree trunk.
A dull "thud" sounded, and a section of the trunk instantly dented inward.
The dented area was charred black, with occasional faint electrical currents still visible.
Xue Na withdrew her fist, looking at the mark on the tree trunk, her eyes lighting up:
"Big brother, look!"
Su Yu stepped forward, reached out to touch the mark on the trunk, and nodded approvingly:
"Not bad. This Spirit Ability not only provides enhancement but also carries the impact force of lightning. Very practical."
"Xue Na, try other attack methods. For example, see if you can gather the lightning into a ball and throw it."
Su Yu offered guidance from the side, his gaze fixed on the jumping lightning in her palm.
Xue Na nodded, following his instructions by crossing her hands in front of her and concentrating to channel her Soul Power.
The purple lightning in her palms seemed to receive a command, sizzling and surging, winding and gathering along her fingertips.
In just a moment, a fist-sized lightning ball formed in front of her hands, its surface crackling with electrical sparks, making her small face alternately bright and shadowy.
"Just like this!"
Xue Na's eyes shone, but just as she bent her arm to throw the lightning ball, the gathered electricity suddenly shook violently.
As if losing its restraint, it "poofed" apart, transforming into countless tiny electrical sparks that burst in her palm before quickly vanishing, leaving only a slight tingling sensation.
"Ah!"
Xue Na was startled, quickly pulling back her hand and looking somewhat annoyed at her empty palm.
"Why did it disperse..."
Su Yu stepped forward, ruffling her hair to comfort her:
"It's alright. It's normal to have trouble controlling Soul Power output during your first attempt."
"Lightning is inherently lively and difficult to tame. To make it obediently condense, you need to concentrate and gradually find the balance point of Soul Power output."
Ning Rongrong chimed in from the side: "Don't rush, Sister Xue Na. With a few more attempts, you'll definitely succeed!"
