    Surfing……

    Shen Ye was a little confused.

    As the last successor of the Obtuse Sky Sect, and possibly the sect leader, why would he want to surf?

    “This feels like… up?”

    The book flew up and moved upwards.

    “Down?”

    The book moved down again.

    —After receiving the instruction from the White-haired old Taoist, his Star Aspect changed accordingly, and an intricate connection was formed between him and this “Sect Leader’s Treasure Strategy.”

    So—

    “Why ‘suitable for surfing’?”

    On the page, above the three words “suitable for surfing,” a line of annotation popped up:

    “Today, the water element laws are gathered on the waves.”

    “When you surf, you may comprehend the attached effect of ‘Frostbite’: ‘Cold Wind Assault’.”

    What?!

    Frostbite also has an attached effect?

    How come I’ve never heard of it?

    —”Suitable for practice”?

    As Shen Ye watched, a line of annotation also appeared on “suitable for practice”:

    “Today, you will meet the Obtuse Sky Sect leader from ancient times and receive his entrustment. Take this opportunity to focus on practicing ‘Sudden Rain’, and you may gain the power of the ‘Taiyin Star’ to activate the sect leader’s exclusive pupil technique.”

    This is good!

    I must practice “Sudden Rain” today no matter what!

    Besides, I’m only one step away from the first level of the Dharma Realm with “Sudden Rain” and the pupil technique.

    So.

    “Suitable for flirting with girls”?

    Similarly, a line of annotation appeared:

    “Prosperity of descendants.”

    Sorry, I’m still young.

    —But this is truly a treasure!

    In the past, how would I have known there were so many intricacies in life!

    So this whole book is a calendar?

    Under Shen Ye’s gaze, the Sect Leader’s Treasure Strategy turned a page.

    On this page, a majestic talisman was drawn.

    Three lines of text appeared next to the talisman:

    “Talisman Soldier.”

    “At the first level of the Dharma Realm, two Talisman Soldiers can be summoned, both with the strength of the first level of the Dharma Realm.”

    “—Exclusive talisman for the Sect Leader.”

    Heaven is merciful!

    I, Shen Ye, will also have a day of prosperity!

    Shen Ye wanted to continue turning the page, but he found that the subsequent pages were blank.

    Another line of small text appeared:

    “Only with the strength of the second level of the Dharma Realm can the Obtuse Sky Sect’s exclusive power on the next page be used.”

    That’s enough!

    This is already strong enough, I’m satisfied!

    Shen Ye put away the Sect Leader’s Treasure Strategy and cupped his fists towards Hui opposite him:

    “Thank you for coming in person. I truly gained a rare opportunity just now.”

    Hui smiled slightly, understandingly, and said:

    “It’s nothing. I was even more excited than you back then.”

    “I am currently an apprentice member. What do I need to do?” Shen Ye asked.

    “As an apprentice, there’s not much to do. But if an emergency occurs and a full member temporarily summons you, you need to step forward and help—there will be corresponding rewards afterward,” Hui said.

    “What does the Tower of Tarot usually fight for?” Shen Ye asked.

    “The most basic goal is for the continuation of this world,” Hui said.

    “It’s my bounden duty,” Shen Ye said.

    “That’s good. Your teacher is still nearby, so I must leave quickly,” Hui said again.

    “Ah? Why?”

    “He’s too serious; I’m afraid he’ll lecture me.”

    Before she finished speaking, Hui “swished” and flew into the sky, disappearing.

    Only Shen Ye stood rooted to the spot.

    “So afraid of my teacher…” he muttered to himself.

    The moment Shen Ye and The Skinner started fighting.

    Outside the dark barrier on the mountaintop.

    Yun Ni stood in mid-air, smiling politely as she asked:

    “Welcome, may I ask, what is the purpose of the Song family head’s visit?”

    “Let Shen Ye go, immediately,” Song Yinchen said.

    “Oh? How did you know? Never mind, it’s not important—I refuse,” Yun Ni said.

    Song Yinchen said nothing more, quickly forming hand seals.

    Seven-colored spiritual light entwined around her hands.

    As her spell was completed, the seven-colored spiritual light vibrated.

    An invisible wave spread out.

    The smile on Yun Ni’s face disappeared.

    She raised her hand, looked at the crimson vertical lines that appeared on her wrist, and after a moment of silence, looked at the girl opposite her.

    After performing the spell, the girl pondered for a moment, and anger appeared on her small face:

    “So that’s it… This spell forces one person to duel another, doesn’t it?”

    Yun Ni carefully scrutinized Song Yinchen and said softly:

    “It’s astonishing. Your sister’s loss was not unjust.”

    “Let Shen Ye go, or I will kill you now,” Song Yinchen drew out a long whip.

    “I can’t let him go—if I do, I will be in big trouble,” Yun Ni explained seriously.

    Song Yinchen formed another seal.

    An invisible wave subtly emerged, passing back and forth between her and Yun Ni.

    The gamble had begun!

    The difference was that this time, the gamble came from Song Yinchen.

    Through imitation, she had already learned the other party’s gambling spell!

    Yun Ni sensed it slightly and whispered:

    “A fight to the death?”

    “Of course! If you lose, you must immediately release Shen Ye!” Song Yinchen’s figure moved, charging towards her.

    Yun Ni watched her figure charging forward, a slight smile appearing on her lips:

    “What a miscalculation. I never thought I would be forced into a gamble—and against my will.”

    She assumed a stance, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she didn’t care about the other party’s attack.

    Song Yinchen launched her attack!

    With a flick of her long whip—

    Yun Ni sidestepped to the left, moved forward two steps, swung her right arm, and turned to elbow strike.

    *Pa!*

    A crisp sound.

    Song Yinchen blocked with her arm and kicked out instantly.

    Yun Ni retreated several steps, her body sinking, ready to pounce.

    “Wh—”

    Her body hadn’t moved, but she saw a black blur whistle towards her, making the air wail.

    It was the whip!

    Yun Ni had to retreat to defend, rolling to clear the way.

    This move, though it dodged the whip, brought her right in front of Song Yinchen.

    Song Yinchen blocked her path one step ahead, stepped forward, inhaled, and landed a heavy punch squarely on her cheek.

    *Thump—*

    Yun Ni was sent flying, spinning several times in mid-air, and crashed heavily into the hillside, knocking down a large patch of dense forest.

    “If you don’t let him go, my next attack will take your life!”

    Song Yinchen shouted.

    Yun Ni lay in the dirt, thinking calmly, then stood up and said:

    “You can anticipate my movements…”

    “This must be the power of the Dharma Eye · Dragon Devourer, right?”

    “So what?” Song Yinchen asked.

    “In the face of absolute power, even if you can anticipate my moves, it’s meaningless,” Yun Ni chuckled.

    She casually shook her head.

    All the wounds on her face disappeared.

    —Song Yinchen’s attack couldn’t harm her at all!

    “Hmph, you mean to say that you and I are not on the same level at all, and I’m just an ant, right?” Song Yinchen asked.

    “That’s right,” Yun Ni smiled.

    “That’s what I think too,” Song Yinchen said.

    This time, it was Yun Ni who was startled.

    “My cultivation time is too short, and I indeed lack the power to contend with an existence like you… but I will save him.”

    The girl’s voice carried a sense of certainty.

    Her body suddenly tilted forward slightly.

    A seven-colored light fell upon her, transforming her into a tiger more than two meters tall.

    The Four Sacred Beasts: White Tiger!

    “Roar…” The White Tiger let out a low growl, “Any being bitten to death by me will have their soul annihilated.”

    The relaxed and carefree expression on Yun Ni’s face completely vanished, and she even took a step back.

    She looked at the white light emanating from the White Tiger’s body and whispered:

    “Gengjin煞氣? (Gengjin Evil Qi?)”

    “Let Shen Ye go! This is your last chance to live!” the White Tiger roared.

    “That won’t do.”

    In an instant.

    The White Tiger moved, instantly appearing before Yun Ni.

    It opened its large mouth, and with its sharp fangs glowing with white light and its two sharp front claws, it bit Yun Ni with all its might.

    Yun Ni died immediately.

    But another Yun Ni quietly appeared not far away.

    The White Tiger was startled, then suddenly realized.

    “You abandoned that body… and resurrected in another living being’s body?”

    It asked nervously.

    If that was the case…

    The difficulty of defeating the opponent would increase linearly.

    “I have many souls; they are my servants, always ready to die for me.”

    Yun Ni chuckled leisurely, forming spell seals with both hands again.

    —Forbidden Spell · Prison Demon Shadow Trap!

    The void shifted.

    Hundreds of black shadows emerged, moving at extreme speed, trapping the White Tiger in place.

    It sounded easy, but Yun Ni had indeed become serious, even fully unleashing her spells.

    “Shield!”

    The White Tiger roared.

    The seven-colored spiritual light immediately transformed into a sphere, protecting it.

    The White Tiger’s body trembled, transforming back into Song Yinchen, who swiftly formed a spell seal within the spiritual light—

    Chaos Spirit Art · Prison Demon Shadow Trap!

    The void shifted.

    Countless seven-colored shadows emerged, trapping Yun Ni in place.

    —The power of these seven-colored shadows was even stronger than the demonic shadows released by Yun Ni.

    Yun Ni’s heart skipped a beat.

    The opponent was learning too fast!

    Actually, just learning her spell was useless.

    The power she used was from the Crying Demon Prison.

    Without mastering this power, the opponent couldn’t cast her spell at all!

    But the opponent had the Chaos Spirit Light.

    Once the opponent learned her spell, the Chaos Spirit Light could immediately mimic the spell’s source of power and release it—

    Moreover, this girl even innovated, enhancing and improving the spell.

    Terrifying talent…

    Yun Ni suddenly looked down at her arm.

    Goosebumps?

    Me?

    When do humans get goosebumps?

    I never thought I’d see the day!

    She looked at the other party again.

    Only to see Song Yinchen attempting to form a spell seal.

    No reaction.

    This spell seal was wrong!

    She formed another spell seal.

    —Still useless.

    Was she trying to undo her binding curse?

    “Naive,” Yun Ni’s face darkened as she swiftly completed the spell in her hand, muttering, “What great achievements can merely imitating others’ skills bring!”

    “Who says it’s just imitation?” Song Yinchen retorted indignantly.

    She persevered, trying for a third time.

    The spell seal was formed.

    One by one, black shadows flew into the void, disappearing.

    —She had undone the Forbidden Spell · Prison Demon Shadow Trap!

    She actually unbound it just like that!
