One person: Activate the talisman, behold my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!

Ye Xing landed on both feet and slid backward several meters on the stone slab, leaving two deep skid marks before finally stopping.

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Lu Linglong was so frightened that she took two steps back, while Lu Jin stood up immediately.

Ye Xing steadied himself and shook his numb arms.

A sharp pain shot through the area that was hit; the bones were fine, but the force that had penetrated the bone was simply brutal and unreasonable.

Ye Xing was utterly horrified.

That attack just now didn't use any golden light spells or any fancy techniques.

It was just a simple, casual slap!

If the power of the Ox Talisman hadn't reached 60 years, that palm strike would have been enough to send him tumbling to the ground.

Such unparalleled strength is truly terrifying!

After a brief moment of shock, Ye Xing's blood was completely ignited.

The blessing of the Ox Talisman made him always crush others, but today was the first time he had been knocked away in this way.

"Again!"

Ye Xing shouted and suddenly exerted force with both legs.

"Oh!"

He kicked the ground, creating large cracks.

Ye Xing transformed into a blur, taking two steps to cover several meters, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, and leaped back into the house.

With his right fist raised high, carrying a monstrous force capable of piercing steel plates, he aimed straight for Zhang Zhiwei's face.

"Snapped."

Zhang Zhiwei stood still, only raising one hand.

He steadily caught Ye Xing's powerful punch.

When their fists and palms collided, not even a wisp of air escaped. Zhang Zhiwei's hand had become a bottomless pit, absorbing Ye Xing's monstrous strength completely.

Ye Xing was not discouraged at all, and used the force of the rebound to twist his waist.

The left fist followed closely.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Inside the cramped room, the sounds of fists clashing were so dense they sounded like firecrackers going off.

Ye Xing unleashed his full power, pushing the power of the Ox Talisman to its limit, each punch faster than the last.

Zhang Zhiwei also moved his hands swiftly, countering each move as it came.

After a dozen or so moves.

Ye Xing took two steps back, his chest heaving as he breathed slightly.

Zhang Zhiwei slowly withdrew his hand and calmly stared at Ye Xing.

A bright smile suddenly bloomed on his wrinkled old face.

"Good lad."

Zhang Zhiwei chuckled and said, "You're quite strong. Your physical training skills far surpass those of your peers."

Ye Xing calmed his breathing and tugged at his somewhat tattered sleeve.

The old master hadn't used his full strength after all; if he had really gone all out, he probably would be lying on the ground by now.

"Thank you for your mercy, Celestial Master."

Ye Xing grinned.

Just then, Lu Jin's hurried footsteps came from outside.

The commotion from those dozen or so exchanges was so great that most of the floor tiles in the house broke, and the whole house was shaking.

"Old Zhang! What's wrong with you, you old ox-nose?!"

Lu Jin rushed to the door, looked at the mess on the ground, and then at the two people facing each other.

"You guys came up with this way way too suddenly! Anyone who didn't know better would think you were cleaning house!"

Following behind was Lu Linglong, who was peeking around with her mouth agape, her little mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

After fighting with the Celestial Master, how come Junior Brother Ye can still stand there like nothing happened?

Gong Qing stood in the courtyard, his gaze peering through the gate into the house. His lowered face was filled with horror, and his hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched tightly.

What kind of monster is this person?

'Shock and speechlessness detected in Lu Jin; emotion value +90!'

'Detected extreme admiration and shock towards Lu Linglong, emotion value +80!'

'A look of surprise was detected in Tian Jinzhong. Emotional value +70!'

'Gong Qing is experiencing extreme fear and apprehension, triggering a critical hit. Emotion value +120!'

Hearing the series of pleasant notification sounds in his mind, Ye Xing was overjoyed; he was less than a thousand short.

Just as Ye Xing was immersed in the joy of his harvest, a somewhat aged voice broke the tranquility.

"Little Ye! Besides this physical martial arts skill, what other abilities do you have?"

Chapter 27 This is Bao'er's wisdom!

The old Celestial Master's aged voice echoed in the room.

Ye Xing didn't rush to answer. He turned his head slightly and glanced over the gate into the courtyard.

Lu Jin was craning his neck to look this way in the courtyard, Tian Jinzhong was listening intently, and even Gong Qing, who was disguised as a Taoist boy, looked focused and attentive.

Following Ye Xing's gaze, Zhang Zhiwei looked back and immediately understood the boy's concerns.

He suddenly flicked the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe.

"boom!"

The two wooden doors, which had been knocked askew, slammed shut.

Moreover, a thick golden light spread throughout the room, completely isolating the entire room from the outside world, preventing even the slightest sound from leaking out.

After doing all this, Zhang Zhiwei looked at Ye Xing again, his withered lips slightly parted.

"Now that there are no outsiders, speak."

Ye Xing dropped the politeness on his face and put on a relaxed smile. He took half a step forward and lowered his voice.

"Old Celestial Master, actually, besides being a little bit stronger, I also know how to use the Yang Spirit technique."

Zhang Zhiwei's beard twitched, and his face finally showed some obvious emotion.

Ye Xing's external martial arts skills have reached such an abnormal level that he must have devoted all his energy to refining his physical body. How could he possibly possess such a technique as the Yang Spirit?

"Spiritual projection?"

The old celestial master looked Ye Xing up and down a few times. "Anything else?"

Ye Xing rubbed his fingers together.

"They can also start fires."

"fire?"

Zhang Zhiwei frowned slightly. "To what extent have you mastered these two abilities? When did the Quanzhen Sect start using fire magic?"

Ye Xing grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, his tone flat.

"It's similar to the fist and foot techniques I just learned. The Quanzhen sect didn't teach fire handling; I learned it myself."

The air in the room seemed to freeze for a few seconds after those words were spoken.

Similar to his fist and foot skills just now? Those dozen or so moves just now, the terrifying strength that could withstand my palm strikes, he actually has a Yang Spirit and Fire Technique of the same level?

Zhang Zhiwei stared intently at Ye Xing's face, trying to find any trace of boasting on that young face.

He watched for a full half minute and saw not only no guilty conscience, but also an extremely confident excitement.

"it is good."

Zhang Zhiwei suddenly laughed, and he stretched out his wrinkled hand and patted Ye Xing's shoulder heavily.

"I've agreed to Chu Lan's request. I'll arrange the draw after the second round, and try my best to send the toughest challenges to you."

"That's great! Thank you, Master!"

Ye Xing clasped his hands in a fist and snapped his fingers. "Rest assured, Master, I will absolutely live up to your expectations. I guarantee I'll take care of those tough nuts thoroughly!"

The deal was done, the golden light faded, and the wooden door reopened.

Ye Xing walked out of the house with light steps.

Lu Jin and Lu Linglong immediately came over. Lu Jin was holding a half-finished cup of tea and her eyes darted back and forth over Ye Xing.

"What exactly were you two talking about in that room for so long?"

Lu Jin blew on his beard and said, "Zhang Zhiwei has even used soundproofing measures. Is he trying to prevent thieves?"

Ye Xing spread his hands out.

"It's nothing serious, I just consulted the old master about health preservation. And here I am, the old master taught me a set of radio calisthenics."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's face wrinkled up, his expression clearly saying, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

[Detected strong curiosity and speechlessness in Lu Jin, emotion value +60!]

[Lu Linglong's curiosity has been detected. Emotional value +40!]

[Tian Jinzhong's probing behavior detected; emotion value +30!]

[Gong Qing's curiosity and apprehension were detected; emotion value +80!]

Hearing the series of notification sounds ringing in his mind, Ye Xing was overjoyed. These guys were really good tools for racking up points!
