From the moment he became the Blue Silver Emperor of Douluo Continent

"So you want to see me? You've practiced the Northern Darkness Divine Art? What's your relationship with my Free and Unfettered Sect?"

Wu Yazi sensed a slight attraction from Shi Yin; it was the devouring power of the Beiming Divine Art, something he was all too familiar with after practicing the Beiming Divine Art for over seventy years.

Shi Yin was like a greenhorn in front of him.

Even though Shi Yin wasn't using the Beiming Divine Art at this moment, he could still sense the characteristics of the Beiming Divine Art.

"Does the senior still remember the Langhuan Paradise?"

Shi Yin countered with a question.

"Uh..." Wu Yazi's expression froze instantly.

Langhuan Paradise?

He finally understood where this kid had learned the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

But he still felt a little embarrassed that a young man had brought up that old issue in front of him.

It was especially awkward when he ultimately betrayed Li Qiushui and fell in love with her younger sister.

"So that's where you got it from. Kid, how many years have you been practicing the Northern Darkness Divine Art? How's your Lingbo Steps coming along?" To avoid further embarrassment, he could only awkwardly change the subject.

"I've been training for over two years now."

The cultivation path of the Beiming Divine Skill is different from most other cultivation methods in the world; it is reversed.

It's even different from the basic meditation method that Shigin initially learned.

If an ordinary martial artist wants to learn the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, they must completely destroy all their internal energy, leaving none behind.

Fortunately, the characteristics of soul power are different from those of internal force.

Soul power itself has no attributes; all attributes are bestowed by the Martial Soul and Soul Rings.

Therefore, no matter how Shi Yin manipulates his soul power, he will not allow himself to go astray.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art is merely a matter of reversing the flow of meridians, so it's not a big problem.

Aside from being a bit difficult to practice, there are no other problems.

"You've accumulated such a thick layer of internal energy in just over two years. Kid, you've certainly caused quite a stir in the martial world."

Wu Yazi could only think of the possibility that this guy had accumulated such profound internal energy in such a short time, besides the idea that he was frantically absorbing the internal energy of others in the martial arts world.

"I haven't absorbed much of other people's internal energy. Most of my true energy is accumulated on my own."

Shi Yin quickly explained that he didn't want to be unjustly labeled as a power-absorbing maniac.

Seeing how confidently he spoke, as if he wasn't lying, Wu Yazi looked at him with some suspicion. Was it really not something he absorbed from someone else's internal energy?

"Fine, if you say it's not true, then it's not true." He finally waved his hand. What did the affairs of the martial world have to do with a wretched old man waiting to die?

"The senior hasn't said whether they can teach me or not."

Shi Yin looked at him again.

"You said you could help me kill Ding Chunqiu?"

Wu Yazi stared intently at him, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp at that moment.

"Sure, I can kill him as soon as I leave here. If you don't believe me, you can have Su Xinghe come with me."

Ding Chunqiu isn't anyone special, but for Shi Yin's sake, he might as well help out by offering sacrifices.

Fortunately, Ding Chunqiu committed a great sin, which firmly held onto Wu Yazi's hatred. Otherwise, Wu Yazi wouldn't have so easily relented and taught him.

"I...trust you. I can teach you for a while. Anyway, you've already got the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Lingbo Steps."

"Once we get out, just do your best to kill Ding Chunqiu for me. I don't care how you kill him, I just want Ding Chunqiu dead."

Wu Yazi truly hated Ding Chunqiu to the extreme; his obsession for the rest of his life was probably to kill Ding Chunqiu.

Considering the connection between Shi Yin and him, it wouldn't be a bad idea to teach him for a while.

Next, Shi Yin stayed with Wu Yazi, eagerly absorbing all the knowledge Wu Yazi taught him.

Every day, Su Xinghe from outside delivers their meals.

Not only martial arts, but also astronomy, medicine, divination, strategy, formations, etc., he learned everything Wu Yazi taught him.

Don't try to understand everything thoroughly; just learn it superficially first. Cramm all sorts of knowledge into your brain first.

What you don't understand now, you can gradually understand later.

Another six months passed, and on this day, Wu Yazi suddenly stopped.

"Kid, I've taught you pretty much everything I needed to. The rest is up to you."

With your skill level, you probably wouldn't even consider my internal energy worth a second."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yin knew that the old man still wanted to choose a closed-door disciple for him, and Shi Yin was not the one he had chosen. Otherwise, the old man would have left his entire power to him.

With the plot so badly messed up, how can Xu Zhu possibly rise to power?

Is the protagonist's luck really that strong?

If he goes to kill Xu Zhu now, will he be able to kill him? Or will he encounter various unexpected events?

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. It has nothing to do with him.

Wu Yazi's skill was indeed profound, but if Shi Yin absorbed it, he would at most increase his soul power by one or two levels.

He wouldn't abandon his principles for such a petty gain.

"Then I'll take my leave. Take care, senior, and wait for my good news."

Wu Yazi was just trying to have a backup plan, in case Shi Yin failed to kill Ding Chunqiu.

Therefore, the Zhenlong Chess Game will most likely still exist.

However, Shi Yin did not intend to break the contract. After leaving Leigu Mountain, Shi Yin rushed to Xingxiu Sea without stopping.

Located in the far west of the Great Wall, far from the Central Plains, Dali, and the Liao Dynasty, and bordering the Tibetan territory, Ding Chunqiu's Xingxiu Sect headquarters is situated here, which is commonly known in the martial arts world as the Western Regions Xingxiu Sea.

This is a plateau basin swamp, with lakes and ponds of all sizes scattered for hundreds of miles around. When you climb up and look into the distance, the reflection on the lake surface is like a sky full of stars, hence the name "Starry Sea". It is damp all year round and full of poisonous insects. It is Ding Chunqiu's base camp for raising poisonous insects and practicing poisonous skills.

Shi Yin disliked this environment intensely, but he had no choice but to go in order to kill Ding Chunqiu.

Fortunately, Ding Chunqiu didn't like to move around much, and apart from going out to find the secret techniques of the Xiaoyao Sect, he rarely went out.

Soon, Shi Yin found Ding Chunqiu in the crowd, who was being flattered by many disciples.

With a wave of his hand, a bow and arrow appeared in his grasp, and he charged forward until he was less than a hundred meters away from Ding Chunqiu.

At this moment, Ding Chunqiu and the others also discovered his presence.

Shi Yin didn't care whether he was discovered or not, and fired a rapid-fire volley of arrows.

Every arrow was aimed at Ding Chunqiu, and they continued to approach as they fired.

The closer he got, the more pressure Ding Chunqiu felt.

After dodging the first two arrows, Ding Chunqiu casually pulled a disciple to the side to shield him from the attack. His movements were so smooth that it was clear he was very skilled.

His disciples knew exactly what kind of person he was. After he pulled two men aside to shield himself from arrows, they scattered and hid to the side, waiting for Ding Chunqiu to deal with the enemy before returning.

As for Ding Chunqiu's subsequent punishment? Well, that's beyond our control.

However, since everyone ran away together, if Ding Chunqiu didn't want to be left without anyone to use, he could only give them a minor punishment as a warning.
