Beautiful Scenery Without Form was touched, and a subtle change occurred in a corner deep within the Millennium Ruins...
"Why is it still not done?" It had already been so long, and Ouyang Zixin was nearly falling asleep watching Yun Tianmo subdue the Source Serpent Scale Shield, yawning several times and wiping away tears.
Yun Tianmo had already spent half a day trying to tame this resentful shield. The scattered scales in mid-air kept changing positions, while the black Mysterious Energy continuously entangled with them. Several times it seemed like he was about to press them back into the shield, but each time he fell short. If it were Ouyang Zixin, she would have given up long ago; fortunately, Yun Tianmo was remarkably patient in this regard.
Nameless stood by holding a Water Bag filled with Azure Leaf Tea, looking equally bored. While Yun Tianmo was busy taming the shield, he had already explored the entire Underground Palace without any discoveries.
Just when they thought they would continue watching like this, Yun Tianmo suddenly withdrew his Mysterious Energy, soaring into the air without any preparation, and struck those scales with one hundred and eight palm strikes. Then he quickly retreated, raising a Mysterious Energy Barrier around himself, seemingly for defense.
"Retreat." The voice of Yun Tianmo echoed in Ouyang Zixin's mind. This guy could transmit thoughts in such a short time; it was truly impressive.
Ouyang Zixin, being somewhat perceptive, noticed Yun Tianmo's sudden change and understood that there had been an unexpected development in subduing the Source Serpent Scale Shield. Upon hearing his words, she immediately grabbed Nameless and turned to run. The Mysterious Energy gathered beneath her feet. With a few swift steps, she dashed several meters away. Before she could look back, she heard a sound behind her like many shards of glass colliding together, followed by a sharp tearing noise. It sounded like a knife scraping across glass—extremely piercing.
"Master, look!" Nameless tugged at the still-running Ouyang Zixin, signaling her to stop running.
In front of Yun Tianmo, the previously empty space was now surrounded by those scattered scales. If he hadn't raised the Mysterious Energy Barrier, he would have likely been completely enveloped by them by now. The crashing sounds were from the scales colliding with the Mysterious Energy Barrier, while the sharp tearing noises suggested that they seemed almost sentient, attempting to cut through the barrier in groups.
"My goodness, has it become sentient?" Ouyang Zixin's mouth formed an 'O' shape. She had encountered seemingly intelligent Mystical Beasts before, but what was this? This was a shield! Well, it was a shield made up of many scales, but these scales could actually attack on their own. This was too outrageous!
Nameless was also stunned by this scene. He had always thought he might be different from these Mystical Artifacts, as he had consciousness. However, seeing these scales attack with intent and even form advantageous formations made him feel as if a part of his understanding had collapsed.
Ouyang Zixin did not notice anything unusual about Nameless. She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at Yun Tianmo, "Hey, are you okay? Do you need help?"
Initially, she had been watching the situation unfold with amusement, but now she suddenly seemed concerned. Although Yun Tianmo was far away, he knew that this girl was just saying it for show; she had already run several paces away. If she really wanted to help, she wouldn't just be standing there.
"No need." Since he had told her to retreat, it meant he could handle it. When has Yun Tianmo ever needed a woman's help? Hmph, not even if she were his woman.
Uh, when did Ouyang Zixin become your woman?
At this moment, the handsome man had not realized that his way of referring to Ouyang Zixin had already changed. He was solely focused on quickly subduing the Source Serpent Scale Shield. The longer this dragged on, the more his patience was wearing thin.
The Source Serpent Scales struggled outside the Mysterious Energy Barrier but found no effect. They probably realized that this human was different from those they had encountered before; devouring him was not going to be easy. Just as they were about to retreat, it was unclear whether they were giving up or looking for another opportunity. However, Yun Tianmo seized the moment of their hesitation and found an opening.
Bang—
Several beams of Mysterious Energy shot out from within the Barrier, striking one hundred and eight scales. Many of the gathered scales immediately fell to the ground with a loud clatter.
Yun Tianmo smirked; as expected, not every Source Serpent Scale could act independently. They merely surrounded the main one hundred and eight scales. As long as he controlled the main scales, the others would be no problem.
Seeing that the once densely packed scales in mid-air had suddenly dwindled to just a few, Ouyang Zixin thought Yun Tianmo was really boring. She had expected him to struggle a bit more; she didn't anticipate that he would resolve it so easily.
Little did she know that after spending so much time finding the weakness of the Source Serpent Scale Shield, Yun Tianmo felt it was somewhat unreasonable. It wasn't as effortless as he imagined; subduing this top-tier Mystical Artifact had already consumed most of his Mysterious Energy. If he couldn't land a decisive blow in the end, then he couldn't predict what would happen next—it would definitely be troublesome.
"One hundred and eight acupoints in the human body?!"
Nameless heard Ouyang Zixin's exclamation and finally emerged from his contemplation, asking in confusion, "What do you mean by one hundred and eight acupuncture points?"
Yun Tianmo controlled the Mysterious Energy to properly subdue the one hundred and eight Source Serpent Scales, casually releasing a mist of blood, likely for the purpose of blood recognition. Soon after, the one hundred and eight scales suddenly emitted one hundred and eight beams of light, swiftly flying towards Yun Tianmo. He had already retracted the Mysterious Energy and Barrier, completely unguarded against the approaching Source Serpent Scales, allowing them to come close.
For a moment, Ouyang Zixin wondered if Yun Tianmo had lost his mind; these scales had just attempted to attack him, so why was he leaving himself so exposed?
However, it soon became clear that Yun Tianmo's open stance was indeed correct, as the scales were flying towards the one hundred and eight acupuncture points on the human body. They did not attack; instead, they covered those points, seemingly protecting them.
"I once heard an Old Chinese Medicine Doctor mention these acupuncture points. Although I can't remember all of them, I have a general idea, so I suspect that their covering positions are exactly those one hundred and eight acupuncture points," Ouyang Zixin recalled. Her memory was quite good, but it depended on whether the content interested her. For instance, she could remember some things about traditional Chinese medicine, but she was completely indifferent to Gossip.
But wait, isn't this a shield?! Can someone tell her that this shield is meant to transform into battle armor?
(To be continued.)
