Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

Opening the booklet to the first page, four large characters were written on it.

The Nine Yang Manual!

He was stunned, thinking he had traveled into the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

I looked at it again, and I was sure I hadn't misread it.

The yang energy within Shangguan Hong's body was likely cultivated through practicing this mental cultivation method.

However, he was able to reach the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm without suffering a qi deviation.

This talent is simply heaven-defying.

After flipping through the booklet, a system notification popped up.

"Host detected learning the Nine Yang Manual, record?"

Yes!

【Nine Yang Manual (Beginner Level: 0/100)】

[Rank: Ultimate Skill]

[Description: An ancient martial arts technique, said to have been created by a martial arts prodigy. It is extremely powerful and domineering. Upon mastery, one's internal energy will spontaneously generate, making one indestructible and impervious to all evil.]

[Effect: Maximum Internal Force +40%, Internal Force Recovery +25%, Constitution +25%, Defense +25%, Resistance +15%]

[Special Effect: Yang Yuan's Emergence - During cultivation, a wisp of pure Yang energy arises in the dantian, automatically tempering the meridians and bones throughout the body. Those who successfully cultivate for the first time will find all internal injuries healed, their Qi and blood abundant, and their recovery speed doubled.]

Men who practice this mental technique will achieve twice the results with half the effort;

For a woman to practice this is like walking into the gates of hell.

"Who gave you this technique?"

Chen Mo asked casually.

"This is the inherited technique of the Crimson Fire Sect."

Shangguan Hong leaned on his shoulder.

Then she added another sentence.

"However... few leaders of the sect throughout history have lived past fifty."

She said it casually.

Chen Mo was startled after hearing this.

So this isn't a secret technique after all.

It's a death warrant!

This foolish woman has been practicing this deadly ritual for decades.

"Would you like me to give you some pointers?"

Shangguan Hong looked up.

"No need, I've already mastered the basics."

"what?"

Shangguan Hong thought she had misheard.

This is a unique skill!

In the entire Great Abyss Dynasty, there are only two sects that can cultivate to the point of innate ascension, and both of them are extremely difficult to cultivate.

She considered herself to be one of the most talented people in the world, but it still took her a full month to master the basics.

The previous leader spent several years honing his skills.

"I don't believe it! Try practicing your internal energy once and see."

Without wasting words, Chen Mo took out a pill, swallowed it, and sat cross-legged to circulate his internal energy.

[Nine Yang Manual Proficiency +400]

Congratulations! You've broken through in the Nine Yang Manual! From beginner to proficient.

Then run it a second time.

Congratulations! You've broken through in the Nine Yang Manual! From Proficient to Master.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of pale golden light emanated from Chen Mo's dantian, and it was as if a fire dragon was swimming through his meridians beneath his skin.

This is the pure Yang energy tempering the muscles and bones.

Shangguan Hong's mouth was open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.

Half an hour.

The path she had cultivated for several years, this man completed in half an hour.

And so, she was praised as a once-in-a-century genius.

A prodigy?

Compared to him, what is her talent?

"Are you... are you really human?"

"Genuine or genuine."

Chen Mo finished his practice and grinned.

"How did you do that? Teach me."

Shangguan Hong tugged at his sleeve and shook it.

"Talent cannot be taught."

Chen Mo deliberately teased her.

Shangguan Hong puffed out her cheeks in anger.

She stared blankly at Chen Mo, four words popping into her mind.

A celestial being reincarnated!

Then the corners of her mouth gradually turned up, higher and higher.

His talent, skills, appearance, and comprehension were all unparalleled in the world.

And this person turned out to be her man.

She seemed to see the Crimson Flame Banner flying all over the world, and she saw herself and him sitting side by side on the throne, jointly ruling the country.

She cupped her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling.

Chen Mo looked at her and spoke.

"Don't practice this technique anymore."

Shangguan Hong was taken aback.

"I can cure you, but as long as you keep practicing, your yang energy will keep increasing, so it will be a waste of time to cure you."

"But……"

Shangguan Hong bit her lip.

"Before my master passed away, he entrusted the Crimson Fire Sect and this cultivation technique to me, hoping that one day I could overthrow the Great Abyss. That dog emperor is a late-stage Grandmaster, a realm higher than me. If I don't practice, I'll never catch up to him in this lifetime..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Mo reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, then lowered his head and kissed her.

The kiss was long, so long that she couldn't breathe before it ended.

Shangguan Hong's face was flushed, her chest heaved, and her eyes were glazed over.

"You are my woman now, and you have to do whatever I say."

Chen Mo looked into her eyes, his tone domineering.

"If you're told not to practice, then don't practice."

He paused.

"Trust in your man's abilities."

Shangguan Hong wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him.

She suddenly realized something.

It seems that... chasing after the emperor doesn't necessarily have to be something she does herself.

Her man covered in half an hour what took her several years to achieve; even if the sky were to fall, he would hold it up.

Once she understood this, she relaxed completely and nodded obediently.

"Yes, I'll do whatever you say."

Chen Mo pinched her chin and kissed her again.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Besides cultivating, Chen Mo spent his days giving Shangguan Hong acupuncture treatments.

The yang energy in her body had mostly receded, and the redness on her face was almost invisible; her complexion improved day by day.

That morning, the Right Protector brought the three women back.

Accompanying them was someone who shouldn't have been there.

Left Protector, Huo Yan.

In the past few days, Shangguan Hong told Chen Mo about the general situation of the sect, but she spoke in great detail about the Left Protector.

This person was a late-stage Grandmaster who spent many years serving as an official in the Great Abyss Court, making him the deepest hidden agent of the Crimson Fire Sect.

Unless there is something very important, I will never return to the mountain.

Why did he come back this time?

What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Qingzhu saw Chen Mo in the distance and waved and called out.

"Young Master!"

She rushed over and hugged Chen Mo's waist, rubbing her face against his chest.

Su Yue followed behind, smiling with her lips pursed.

Xu Wanqing looked at Chen Mo and nodded gently.

Suddenly, Qingzhu noticed a beautiful woman in red standing next to Chen Mo and leaned close to Suyue's ear.

"That's the cult leader? He's... way too good-looking!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hong smiled at her with her eyes crinkled.

"You are Qingzhu? The young master often mentions you."

She also started calling Chen Mo the same way that Qingzhu and the others did.

Qingzhu was stunned for three breaths, then turned around and shouted.

"Young master! I like this older sister!"

Xu Wanqing stood to the side, exchanging a glance with Shangguan Hong from afar.

Neither woman spoke; they simply nodded to each other.

Some things don't need to be said.

Chen Mo asked Ru Hua to take the three women to settle down first.

The three women walked away, turning back every few steps, and the atmosphere gradually tightened.

Huo Yan strode forward and bowed to Shangguan Hong.

"Your subordinate pays respects to the leader."

As he bowed, his gaze lingered on Shangguan Hong's face for several moments.

Shangguan Hong's gaze remained fixed on Chen Mo from beginning to end.

Huo Yan straightened up and glanced at Chen Mo.

His hands, hanging by his sides, slowly clenched.

"May I ask who this gentleman is?"

"My distinguished guest."

Shangguan Hong said calmly.

Huo Yan's smile froze for a moment.

He took a deep breath, cupped his hands again, and his expression suddenly became serious:

"Master, I risked my life to return to the mountain this time because I have important matters to report to you privately."

P.S.: Thank you to the owner of [Xinchen Pavilion] for the extra update! Thank you to all the handsome men and beautiful women for your love and support.
