Chapter 078: Great Perfection of Spirit Fighting
"Then let's have a competition, fool. Right, my husband?" Luo Xi said.
"That's right. Since you can't tell, let's give it a try," Yang Chen replied. "Alright, now I'll teach you how to carve the Spirit Gathering Array." After saying this, he manipulated two water orbs in front of him, guiding strands of water to flow along a specific path towards another water orb.
"After two minutes, can you see it clearly?" Yang Chen asked.
"Almost," Tang An responded.
"Try it yourself. No matter what I say, you need to be able to do it on your own. Start with the Tai Chi Spirit Gathering Array. The Tai Chi Spirit Gathering Array involves carving the path inside the water orb; it's not that complicated," Yang Chen explained. Tang An nodded, circulating his fighting energy to extract two equal-sized water orbs from the air, then guiding them according to the path Yang Chen had carved.
"Wrong, this path needs to go straight down without stopping; otherwise, it will leave a node, and that node will disrupt the balance."
"No, that's an unnecessary path."
"Incorrect, this water orb is missing a path."
"This is the array eye; you need to pause here."
"Hey, why does that array eye over there look different?"
"........." The three of them were engrossed in their frantic research, and Luo Xi left them to it. Yang Chen also ignored the others from the Shadow Kill Yongbing group and focused on his studies. Finally, on the third day, Tang An was able to carve out the Yin-Yang Spirit Gathering Array.
Yang Chen was also continuously studying the Four Symbols Spirit Gathering Array and was starting to make progress. On the twentieth day, Tang An finally carved out the Three Talents Spirit Gathering Array, and Tang Feng learned how to carve the Yin-Yang Spirit Gathering Array as well. At the same time, Yang Chen had figured out how to carve the Four Symbols Spirit Gathering Array and had succeeded. After so many days of relentless study and controlling spiritual energy, Yang Chen finally advanced to Seven Stars Spirit Fighting three days ago.
"Alright, Old Tang. The overall competition outside is about to conclude. You should refine a few weapons now. Remember to inscribe the Spirit Gathering Array on them. Divide them into upper, middle, and lower grades based on the strength of the Spirit Gathering Array. How to do this should be something you understand better than I do, you old expert," Yang Chen said.
"Yes. I know what to do," Tang An said.
"Alright, I'm heading out first. These days of seclusion have left me quite dispirited. Well then, you two disciples can continue your research," Yang Chen said, and after finishing, he walked out of Tang An's small wooden house. Just as he stepped outside, he ran into Roxie, who was approaching him. Yang Chen pulled her into his arms and asked, "What brings you here?"
"I missed you. Also, Eagle Tianyi has returned," Roxie replied.
"Oh? Tian Yi is back? When?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Just now, that's why I came to tell you the news."
"Did he come alone?" Yang Chen asked.
"No, there's also someone named Li Mu, who seems to be your Second Legion Commander. But I don't remember much," Roxie said thoughtfully.
"Let's go back," Yang Chen said.
"Where to?"
"To the Lord's Mansion."
In the reception hall of the Lord's Mansion, the Nine Camp Leaders and the four major legion commanders were present. After Yang Chen entered, the thirteen of them bowed and said, "Greetings, Leader."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Leader."
Yang Chen took a seat at the main position with Roxie and asked, "Tian Yi, Li Mu, how did it go?"
"Return to the leader." Eagle Tian Yi stepped forward and said, "My subordinate and Li Mu have each pledged allegiance to a different lord. Currently, there is a trend of three tigers working together. The lord I have allied with is named Huang Shan, while the lord Li Mu has allied with is named Zhou Shui. At present, these two lords are far stronger than the other lord, Zhang Gao. Li Mu and I are already planning to incite infighting among the three lords, which will buy time for the Red Dragon, and at the same time, the leader can gain benefits from it."
"No. I do not need to gain any benefits; otherwise, I will find myself in a position where I am neither here nor there," Yang Chen said. "My ambition does not lie here; what I want is a strong backing, an ally."
"We understand. We will strive to secure opportunities for the Red Dragon in the future," Li Mu said.
"No need for that; I will personally speak to Brother Red Dragon about this matter. All nine battalion leaders, inform everyone to gather at Zhongtian Square at noon. They should meet their first and second legion leaders," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, leader."
"Thank you, leader."
"Jiang Nan, go to the Shadow Kill Pavilion and bring everyone from Eagle General's Blood Lion Yongbing Corps out. I want everyone in the city to see the consequences of offending my Shadow Kill Yongbing Corps," Yang Chen said sternly.
"Yes, leader." At noon, Zhongtian Square. Yang Chen stood on the highest platform, overlooking everyone. Twenty-four members of the Blood Lion Yongbing Corps were kneeling before him, including three from Blood Lion; however, they were all sealed and unable to speak. Behind Yang Chen stood nine battalion leaders and four legion leaders; Luo Xi was not among them.
"Today, there are three purposes for gathering everyone here. First, the two behind me, Eagle Tian Yi and Li Mu, are the first and second legion leaders of my Shadow Kill Yongbing Corps. Their status as legion leaders is equivalent to mine!" Yang Chen proclaimed loudly. Eagle Tian Yi and Li Mu stepped forward and looked at everyone.
"Greetings to the two legion leaders." The voices rang like thunder, echoing through the heavens and earth like a storm sweeping across Eight Directions.
"No need for formalities," Eagle Tian Yi and Li Mu said simultaneously.
"Thank you, legion leaders."
"Second, do you see these twenty-four individuals before you? They are the leader of the Blood Lion Yongbing Corps, two vice-leaders, and the remaining members. They should have been executed long ago; however, they made the grave mistake of injuring my brother—Eagle Tian Yi! Even worse, they assisted the Qi Refining Guild in attacking my brother! In facing such villains, what should we do?"
"Kill!"
"Those who harm my brother—"
"Only death can save you!" With a sweep of the Yanhuang Sword, the head of the Blood Lion leader fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and all the blood in his body was drained by the Yan Huang Blood Sword.
"Ding! Player Yang Chen has slain a Demon Emperor-level expert by surpassing three realms. The Demon God Strategy has leveled up to level four, grade eight." Yang Chen held the Yanhuang Sword on one of the Vice Captain's shoulders and asked, "Those who kill my brother—"
"Annihilate their Nine Clans!" With another motion of the Yan Huang Blood Sword, another head fell, and all the blood was drained from the body.
"Ding! Player Yang Chen has slain a Demon Emperor-level expert by surpassing three realms. The Demon God Strategy has leveled up to level four, grade nine." Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
He transferred the Yan Huang Blood Sword to another Vice Captain's shoulder, ignoring his pleading gaze, and loudly asked, "Those who harm my brother's wife and children—"
"Will not rest until dead!" With that, yet another head fell, and all the blood was drained by the Yan Huang Blood Sword. "Ding! Player Yang Chen has slain a Demon Emperor-level expert by surpassing three realms. The Demon God Strategy has leveled up to great perfection."
"Ding! Player has reached Dueling Spirit Great Perfection. Killing while surpassing three realms will no longer increase cultivation level."
"Ding! Player has reached Dueling Spirit Great Perfection. Killing while surpassing three realms will no longer increase cultivation level."
"Ding! Player has reached Dueling Spirit Great Perfection. Killing while surpassing three realms will no longer increase cultivation level."
After receiving three consecutive system notifications, Yang Chen was slightly taken aback and shook his head bitterly. He then strapped the Yan Huang Blood Sword onto his back and waved his hand, signaling Eagle Tianyi to take action.
"Those who offend Shadow Kill Heavenly Might—"
"Will be punished regardless of distance!" At that moment, everyone shouted angrily towards the sky.
