Chapter 110: Chapter 107 Unsettled Snowy Night

"The ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ sword moves were exquisitely varied, trumpeted as ’the Prison of Martial Arts.’ Given that his arm was tightly grasped, Qing Yu had no way to dodge.

But Qing Yu needed not dodge, because...

"You’re already dead..." Qing Yu ignored the sword finger pointing at his arm, indifferently uttering a few words.

Compared to trash-talking with enemies, Qing Yu preferred to deliver victory speeches over their corpses. There was only one reason he spoke now—that Di Xi was going to die.

The sword finger stagnated in mid-air, powerless to move forward. Similarly frozen was the fierce smile that Di Xi had just revealed.

Beneath the sleeve that Di Xi seized, specks of golden light danced, infiltrating Di Xi’s skin.

The ’Golden Silkworm Gu’ from Scorpion had accomplished its task today.

A purplish-black color spread from the arm; quickly, Di Xi’s face also showed a ghastly hue. Under the exceedingly toxic Golden Silkworm Gu, he was instantly dead.

The very ’Golden Silkworm Gu’ that almost poisoned Cheng Shifei to death left Di Xi, with his Power, with no possibility of resistance.

"Ding, congratulations Host for killing a two-star villain, Di Xi. You’ve obtained Martial Arts Inheritance: ’Dragon Escape’ (two and a half stars), ’Taibai Sword Sleeve’ (two stars), ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ (three and a half stars)."

"System, wasn’t the ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ Di Xi knew incomplete? Why did I get the complete one?"

"Host, Di Xi’s memory contained the complete version of ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword,’ but the complete ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ requires two people to operate together, so what he knew was incomplete."

’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ was co-created by the couple Gong Yangyu and Hua Wuchi, just like ’Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword.’ It’s a lovers’ swordsmanship that naturally requires the cooperation of two. As a singleton like Di Xi, he could only practice an incomplete version.

To be honest, Qing Yu really couldn’t understand why, with the countless unique skills of East Island, Di Xi would learn the ’Taibai Sword Sleeve,’ which prioritized appearance over practicality, as well as the incomplete ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword.’

As a result, Qing Yu’s gains this time weren’t too impressive. Although he received the complete three-and-a-half-star ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword,’ Qing Yu, like Di Xi, was a certified singleton, able only to practice it alone.

The ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ was different from the ’Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword.’ It couldn’t be mastered through single-minded dual-purpose practice.

’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ required the combined use of a man and a woman, the unity of Yin and Yang, a perfect harmony of hearts. There were two aspects to this sword technique: Sword Union and Qi Union. Sword Union focused on the changes in sword moves, which wasn’t a problem for Qing Yu who could wield swords with both hands. The important part was Qi Union, which required men and women with different Inner Strengths to cooperate, exchanging Yin and Yang Qi, from which Taiji births two forms.

Moreover, these two types of Inner Strength were vastly different and intricately exquisite. The meridians they traveled had many overlaps, yet their directions were opposing. For one person to execute the ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ was out of the question, unless Qing Yu could create another set of meridians within his body.

"System, transfer the Martial Arts Enlightenment."

"Martial Arts Enlightenment transmission in progress..."

Again, that long-missed sensation, as if countless insights suddenly burst forth like inspiration, appeared in his mind.

But this time, the inspirations were a bit too plentiful, making his head somewhat swollen with information.

’Taibai Sword Sleeve’ and ’Taiyi Splitting Light Sword’ were okay; the key was ’Dragon Escape.’ The ’Dragon Escape’ movement technique contained not only Qinggong but also an extremely sublime Numerology and Illusion Technique. And these Numerology and Illusion Techniques were not like inspirations, but solid data, and in great volume at that.

Fortunately, Qing Yu had recently made progress in the study of ’Yin Yang Technique,’ allowing him to absorb these Numerology and Illusion Techniques fully, rather than just skimming through them, understanding without the ability to use them.

After the transfer of Martial Arts Enlightenment was complete, Qing Yu exited the Inheritance Space and then took out a bamboo slip, preparing to spend the night reading and pass this lonely snowy night. After all, having drunk a bowl of Laba Porridge during the day and faked death for nearly six hours, he really couldn’t fall asleep now.

However, Qing Yu’s plan for tonight was doomed to be unfulfilled."

"Student Ming Rui respectfully requests to meet with my mentor."

The sound of this respectful visit echoed throughout the entire Mountain River Academy, shattering the silence of the winter night.

The once tranquil Mountain River Academy suddenly lit up with bright white light as a pure white breath of air gathered in the sky to form a ceaselessly flowing river, making the whole academy as bright as day.

Qing Yu felt the True Qi within him, which was constantly interacting with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, being suppressed back into his body under the bright white light outside the window. His mental state, which had thrived like a fish in water due to the academy’s special environment, also felt a sense of oppression.

"What’s going on?"

Qing Yu rushed out of his room to see that it was as bright as daytime outside, and even the heavy goose feather-like snow that had been falling all day had suddenly stopped.

No, not stopped. Qing Yu walked to the middle of the courtyard and looked up at the sky, where he could still see the snowflakes that were especially conspicuous amidst the white light.

However, this snowfall disappeared without a trace as it neared the pure white river in the sky, unable to reach the Mountain River Academy below the river.

"This is the Haqi River..."

Having personally experienced the "Vast Righteous Qi" before, Qing Yu could feel that the river in the sky was formed by the convergence of countless pure "Vast Righteous Qi." Under the Haqi River, all True Qi outside of Confucian powers were suppressed.

"Ming Rui, brother, you come uninvited in the dead of night, which is hardly the way of a guest."

A calm and amiable voice rang out, echoing across the skies of Datong Mountain under the call of the Haqi River.

After that, Qing Yu saw a white figure flash across the sky, heading towards the gate of the Mountain River Academy.

Flying, a master of Divinity Realm.

Who could it be? The legendary Mountain Master Meng? And who was that uninvited guest outside the academy gates, a master from Daqian? Couldn’t wait any longer?

Question after question surfaced in Qing Yu’s mind.

"All students must stay in their own rooms and are not allowed to go out. Violators will receive a major demerit," a shouting voice came from outside the Yellow Character Hall. Qing Yu recognized it as Mr. Wuqu’s voice.

Hearing this voice, several students who had come out to look, like Qing Yu, hurried back to their rooms and even extinguished the lamps—although the lamps were of little use in the day-bright environment.

However, this showed how fearful those students were of major demerits. At Mountain River Academy, if a major demerit wasn’t cleared within three months, one could be expelled directly.

"Meng De, get inside," Mr. Wuqu’s towering figure appeared in the courtyard, the Qi Force stirred by his rapid movement drew a trench across the snow that had accumulated in the yard all day.

"Mr. Wuqu, what is this..." Qing Yu raised his hand, pointing to the river spreading across the sky.

"Get inside!" Mr. Wuqu said with a dark face.

Well, it seems I won’t be able to fish for information with a smile. With no other choice, Qing Yu could only bow and then turn back to his room.

Boom—

The sound of Qi Force colliding, bringing with it a blast that caused the doors and windows to tremble incessantly. Even the ground beneath their feet was shaken and quivered without end.

Outside the academy gates, the two parties had begun to clash.
