Chapter 104: Mural Painting, City Toppler

  "The weather is light and clear, it will be sunny..."

  "The heavy and turbid earth energy is yin..."

  Chen Hao and the girl sang in unison from afar.

  "Motion, fire, light, thunder, day, male, life, sun, heaven, these are the nine yang..."

  "Stillness, water, darkness, rain and snow, night, female, death, moon, earth, these are the nine yin..."

  "Nine Turns of Heaven's Sun Key, First Turn, Body Moves and Yang is Born..."

  "The Nine Turns of Earth Concealment Key, First Turn, Heart Quiet Yin Birth..."

  Chen Hao and the girl almost simultaneously finished reading the inscription's record of the ultimate technique for turning one's mind, as well as the scene they would face upon entering the gate, with hearts as clear as a mirror.

  They walked into the misty gate and entered their respective palaces separately.

  One is a space composed of pure white yang yuan stones, and the other is a space composed of pure black yin yuan stones.

  Chen Hao's gaze turned towards the wall.

  At this moment, the aura around suddenly surged and condensed into a strand of pure light, like a brush floating to the wall in front of Chen Huan, and then, a thin line at an astonishing speed, as if painting, gradually gave birth to a figure!

  When this figure with a strange posture appeared completely in front of Chen Hao, Chen Hao's eyes widened instantly, and his mind was stirred.

  "Hiss......" Chen Hao took a cold breath, extremely shocked and said: "What a beautiful woman! Fortunately, she's just a painting... If there really was such a woman in the world, I'm afraid it would be too much for me to handle... This relic is indeed interesting, trying to use this stunning woman to disturb my mind? If she were real, I'm afraid I would really be a little disturbed, but she's just an illusory figure..."

  Chen Hao's dark and profound eyes shone with a hint of sharpness, his voice clear as he spoke. However, despite saying so, Chen Hao's gaze remained fixed on the vividly depicted girl in the painting.

  Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were clear and bright, her figure was slender... Especially those eyes, even just a painting had already made Chen Huabo's calm heart lake surge with ripples. This was a phenomenon that had never occurred before. The two of him in the past did not have it, and he himself did not have it now either. But now it was really real!

  "Hmmph!"

  Chen Hao let out a cold hum, took a deep breath, and with a swift slash of his mental sword, cut off the ripples in his heart. Relying on his unshakeable will and temperament, he instantly adjusted himself to a state of complete focus. The first turn of the Nine Turns Heaven Sun Technique appeared in his mind, and his eyes shot out like electricity as he suddenly stared straight into the girl's eyes!

  Boom!

  When the two pairs of eyes, one bright and beautiful, met in that instant, a mysterious aura suddenly burst forth from the girl's eyes, transforming into two beams of light that connected with Chen Huan's eyes across the air. At the same time, Chen Huan's gaze became momentarily stunned, as if he had fallen into a strange realm.

  Immediately, a beautiful and enchanting figure appeared in his mind, and he slowly but surely threw out a set of fist techniques in his mind, which was the body technique as mentioned on the inscription just now!

  "Hi!"

  Chen Haoh's mind was on the verge of collapse, but fortunately, he had mentally prepared himself. He suddenly let out a loud roar and his body moved in sync with his mind, mimicking the extraordinary posture in his brain. He dodged and weaved, punching and kicking.

  Once, twice, thrice... Sweat rained down, gasping for air like an ox, but Chen Huan gritted his teeth, undistracted and fully immersed in this intense physical technique. Chen Huan was well aware that this was the legacy of the ruins, the first move of the Nine Turns Heaven Sun Fist's first turn, merely a beginning. Only by exerting his utmost strength to comprehend and break through could he obtain the legacy faster and exit the ruins!

  At first, Chen Huan's body and the images in his mind were always half a beat apart, and his dancing figure also had many awkwardness and stagnation. However, as time passed, Chen Huan's figure gradually merged with the images in his mind, achieving a state of unity between body and mind.

  Three hours later, Chen Huan reached a state of unity with his body and mind, forgetting the techniques in his mind, forgetting that he was dancing along. A faint, elusive aura gradually emanated from Chen Huan's body. He had no consciousness at all. When he finished the last round, he naturally stopped, the images in his mind disappeared, but Chen Huan was exhausted, thud, and lay on the ground with his limbs facing upwards, staring at the slowly disappearing girl pattern on the wall.

  When the first girl figure disappeared, the mysterious brush began again, still that stunning beauty, but in a completely different pose.

  Chen Hao knew that he had already passed the first move, and now it was time to start the second move!

  "Ugh, meditation again... I really don't like it..."

  The girl's pink and tempting cherry lips pouted, looking at the wall in front of her, saying: "I knew I shouldn't have come in... but now I'm stuck and can't get out. If Dad and Grandpa find out that I snuck out, I'll be in big trouble..."

  The girl walked through the gate and said with a hint of coquetry.

  Obviously, the girl didn't take this ruin seriously at all. She thought it was fun to come in, but after coming in, she had to practice her most hated meditation, and she wasn't happy about it. But the girl was very clear that if she wanted to get out of this ruin, she could only cultivate the Nine Turns Earthly Secret Technique, otherwise even she couldn't leave this ruin.

  Hiss... At this moment, a ripple in the air came over, and a similar scene appeared before the girl's eyes, just like Chen Huan.

  "Huh?" The girl's clear and beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

  A figure slowly appeared in the girl's eyes.

  Although not tall and stately, she was exceptionally beautiful and elegant, especially her eyes, which shone like stars, radiating a fierce pride that seemed to emanate from the very marrow of her bones. Despite being young, those eyes made the girl's heart skip a beat!

  "Is he the master of this ruin? He looks really good... seems like he's still young, but looks very powerful... Grandfather said that Youyou is a once-in-a-thousand-years cultivation genius, but Youyou is only a 9th rank Martial Saint, the gap between them is huge... Grandfather must be trying to make Youyou happy... Ah, Youyou has to hurry up and cultivate, since you're the master of this ruin, don't make things difficult for Youyou, hurry up and let Youyou become stronger, otherwise Grandfather and Father will scold Youyou..."

  The girl stared at the young man on the wall, innocently saying that as she spoke, she slowly sat down in front of the painting with her legs crossed, and the first turn of the Nine Turns Yin Jue appeared in her mind, gazing intently at the eyes in the painting.

  One movement, one stillness, began separately at both ends of the ruins.

  Neither of them knew the other's existence, nor did they know that the images they saw were each other. But they both had the same goal, which was to obtain the legacy of the ruins as soon as possible and leave the ruins.

  It must be said that the super master who left behind this relic for inheritance has a great divine power and wisdom that ordinary people cannot imagine, and does not miss any details, even if it is an image seen by two people, they use each other's shadow to replace.

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  On the edge of the Demon Cloud Mountain Range, Yuan Li and Spiritual Energy were intertwined, with over a hundred figures clashing together in a chaotic battle. Zhao Yunfei, Fang Qing, Liu Yunfeng, and others were prominently among them, their faces burning with rage as they fought fiercely while retreating.

  Rumble!

  A terrifying explosion suddenly burst in mid-air, Zhao Yun's body shape instantly exploded back, and a blood arrow had already shot out of his mouth.

  "Hahaha... The new top disciple of the Town Yuan Kingdom is quite something, but you..."

  "Yi Minghao, what do you want to do?" Fang Qing violently urged her spiritual power to catch the heavily injured Zhao Yunfei and said angrily.

  After the aura of the ruins disappeared, everyone knew that this mission had ended prematurely due to the abnormal change of the ruins, and they all returned. However, unexpectedly, when they arrived at the edge of the Demon Cloud Mountain Range, they were intercepted by Ming Hao and others from the Da Qian Kingdom. Both sides were proud and arrogant geniuses, and the battle broke out as soon as it touched.

  "What's going on? The crown prince said it early, just a warm-up before the new star list battle... It's strange that the kid ruined the crown prince's good deed, haha... Let's go! After beating the young one, the old one will come soon, and we can't handle that..."

  "Yi Minghao! You wait, in a year and a half, I, Zhao Yunfei, will surely avenge today's humiliation on the New Star Chart!"

  "Spare me, I'm just getting started on the Martial Emperor path and you're already no match for me. Back in the New Star Ranking Tournament, you weren't even worthy of polishing my shoes. What I want is to be number one! You can go back and tell those senior disciples at New Star Hall, Dongfang Jian, Baili Xi, Zhao Yunlong... Ah, isn't Zhao Yunlong your older brother? Ha! I, Yi Minghao, will defeat them and the other top disciples from various countries, and claim the top spot on the Eight Nations New Star Ranking!"

  Yi Minghao spoke as his body transformed into a streak of lightning, taking the disciples of the Daqian Kingdom with him as he quickly returned to their homeland, leaving behind only his arrogant and domineering voice lingering in the ears of the crowd.

  The Zhenyuan Kingdom's Xinxiu Hall has brought over fifty disciples this time, and at this moment, every single one of their faces is filled with extreme humiliation, countless injuries, and several severe wounds. It can be said that they were completely suppressed by the Daqian Kingdom. If it weren't for the transmission talisman notifying the high-ranking officials of Xinxiu Hall, perhaps they wouldn't have just been severely injured.

  Zhao Yunfei's mouth was filled with fresh blood, his teeth clenched tightly, and his eyes were even more fiery. He had entered the Royal Newcomer Hall half a year ago, and now, after a whole year, he had already risen to the peak of the First-Rank Martial Emperor. But Mingming, who had just entered the First-Rank Martial Emperor, had defeated him with an overwhelming posture!

  Two years for a session, the new star list of eight countries, there is still one and a half years, Zhao Yunfei as a newly promoted disciple, but already the first master of primary disciples. He believes that at the time of the New Star List competition, he will definitely get a good ranking, at least among the primary disciples, he will be absolutely on top. This is already a very high goal, after all, among the eight countries, the strength of the Zhongyang Kingdom is only average, and even slightly lower.

  But unexpectedly, Yi Minghao actually dared to ask for the top spot on the newcomer chart!

  "Roar......"

  Humiliated Zhao Yunfei did not have his strong heart knocked down by Ming Hao, but instead let out a loud roar towards the sky, and his body suddenly transformed into a stream of light, heading deep into the Magic Cloud Mountains!

  Today's favor, tomorrow I will return it a hundredfold!

  "What? Chen Hao might have entered the ruins?"

  After Yi Minghao and others left, Zhao Yunfei humiliatedly left. Fang Qing, who had shown incredible strength in the previous battle, became the core of everyone's attention as they headed back to the Royal Newcomer Hall together. In less than two hours, the expert from the Royal Newcomer Hall arrived, surprisingly being only one person - Huang Qi, the gatekeeper uncle. When Huang Qi heard Fang Qing explain the situation, he was shocked and said...
