Chapter 72: Chapter 69 The Second Challenge

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing One-star villain, Ouyang Ke, and obtaining his items: ’White Camel Poison Scripture’ (One-star Level), Martial Arts Inheritance: ’Instantaneous Thousand Miles’ (Two-star Level), ’Divine Camel Snow Mountain Palm’ (One and a Half Stars), ’Spirit Snake Fist’ (One and a Half Stars)."

The system’s notification sound rang out, and what followed was the ever-familiar Martial Arts Enlightenment.

"Inheritance complete, exiting the Inheritance Space."

Qing Yu opened her eyes, her long sword still sheathed and never drawn. The wonders of the Inheritance Space, no matter how many times experienced, were always astonishing.

Getting out of bed and stretching his limbs slightly, Qing Yu began to experiment with the newly acquired Martial Arts.

"Instantaneous Thousand Miles."

Qing Yu’s figure leaped up, appearing to float but actually moving swiftly, landing at the doorway of the room in the blink of an eye.

"Divine Camel Snow Mountain Palm."

With a nonchalant palm strike against the square table, a palm-shaped hole silently formed on its surface.

With the foundation of the Little Faceless Skill and the Martial Arts Enlightenment from Ouyang Ke, Qing Yu could easily perform Ouyang Ke’s martial arts, even outclassing him.

The essence of both "Instantaneous Thousand Miles" and "Divine Camel Snow Mountain Palm" lay in the complex changes of Inner Strength, which also laid the foundation for the deeper cultivation of the Qi Force changes in the enigmatic "Toad Skill." Regrettably, Ouyang Ke indulged in sensuality and neglected his Martial Arts; with such inheritance, he was still unqualified to practice the "Toad Skill" well into his thirties, truly deserving his death by the iron spear.

As for the "Spirit Snake Fist," it involved changes to the external limbs and required long-term medicinal assistance for successful cultivation. Although Qing Yu possessed all of Ouyang Ke’s Martial Arts Enlightenment related to the "Spirit Snake Fist," her body was not yet adapted and currently unable to perform it.

After integrating the Martial Arts Enlightenment she had acquired this time, Qing Yu said, "System, I want to challenge Dongfang Bubai."

"Host is challenging the Guardian Boss, level opening..."

It was still the exquisite little garden, and Qing Yu had returned here after several days.

Without time to observe her surroundings, because this time, Dongfang Bubai arrived even faster than last.

A flash of red, and the embroidery needle aimed straight for Qing Yu’s glabella. An embroidery needle, ordinary as it might seem, made Qing Yu’s hair stand on end. She had firsthand experience with the severity of this seemingly ordinary embroidery needle; the lingering pain in her head had lasted for days, leaving a deep impression on Qing Yu.

This time, however, she could dodge it.

Her eyesight was still slightly unable to keep up with Dongfang Bubai’s speed, seeing only a blur of red, but with the speed gained from "Instantaneous Thousand Miles," she had caught up. Although still slightly slower, she was not instantly killed like the first time.

The embroidery needle pierced into the glabella, but Qing Yu’s figure gradually faded away—it was an afterimage.

"Eh..."

A proud and charming voice rang out, devoid of the deep and magnetic quality of a man’s voice.

Dongfang Bubai, in a sense, had become a complete woman.

"I didn’t expect you would have cultivated this Martial Art, so let’s have a bit of fun then..."

This Martial Art undoubtedly referred to the ’Sunflower Manual.’ Qing Yu’s practiced ’Exorcism Sword Manual’ was derived from the ’Sunflower Manual’; to say that she had practiced the ’Sunflower Manual’ was not entirely inaccurate. Last time, Dongfang Bubai had killed Qing Yu in one move, without giving her any chance to use her Martial Arts.

And this time, although Qing Yu merely dodged Dongfang Bubai’s attack with a simple move, Dongfang Bubai, who was extremely familiar with the Sunflower Manual, recognized Qing Yu’s limitations with just a glance.

The moment the voice dropped, a burst of speed emerged from the red figure, flashing around Qing Yu.

The throat, chest center, space between the brows, and both temples, in that instant, Dongfang Bubai could almost be said to have struck these vital points simultaneously.

The embroidery needle, though only one, was capable of attacking five points at the same time, truly a fearsome and terrifying weapon.

Being too close, an inch short was an inch risky; the long sword was already too late, so Qing Yu could only hold the Mystic Iron dagger in her left hand and fend off the attacks, hoping to block these several needles.

The sharpness of the Mystic Iron dagger far surpassed Dongfang Bubai’s embroidery needle, and even fueled with Inner Strength, it was far from capable of blocking.

Therefore, though the first few needles were avoided by the Mystic Iron dagger, the fifth needle, aimed at Qing Yu’s throat, was unblockable.

Unable to keep up, the competition in speed sometimes meant a hair’s breadth difference between life and death, let alone the fact that Qing Yu was more than just a hair’s breadth behind Dongfang Bubai.

"Eh?" Another light exclamation, the embroidery needle stopped just before piercing Qing Yu’s throat.

The red figure flickered, and Dongfang Bubai came to a stop a few meters in front of Qing Yu.

Only then could Qing Yu truly see Dongfang Bubai’s face.

The attire, like the one on the Guardian Boss Card, was the same, but seeing the person in the flesh created a different impression than just viewing an image on a card.

It wasn’t the clothing or appearance, but rather that aura of "From the east rises the sun, only I am unbeatable." Facing him, one felt as if facing the midday sun, supreme above all living beings, truly unbeatable.

Among the villains, there were countless more powerful than Dongfang Bubai, but when it came to the soaring spirit, only a few could match him. No wonder Dongfang Bubai was listed as one of the Guardian Bosses; this was the invincible presence of one who reached the peak of a realm.

"You didn’t castrate yourself?" Dongfang Bubai asked in astonishment.

Just now, he had clearly seen the Adam’s apple at Qing Yu’s throat. Those who cultivated the Sunflower Manual would gradually lose their Adam’s apple. Just like Dongfang Bubai, his own throat was now smooth, without any protrusion of an Adam’s apple.

"Of course not."

Qing Yu had adjusted her appearance when facing Ouyang Ke earlier, and after the challenge was over, she had reverted to her original features without changing them back to ’Meng De.’ Qing Yu’s natural appearance, how should one put it, was quite delicate. Although she had not castrated herself, cultivating the Exorcism Swordsmanship still had some effects, making her features lean towards androgynous, thus Dongfang Bubai hadn’t suspected earlier that Qing Yu had not castrated herself.

"Haha, hahaha..." Dongfang Bubai burst into laughter, "Interesting, very interesting. Kid, I must say, you have piqued my interest..."

Come on, don’t tell me he wants to get intimate with me. Qing Yu secretly groaned inside.

Although Dongfang Bubai was stunningly beautiful, at the end of the day he was still a man! A man! A man!

Qing Yu had no interest in such matters; she was neither Yang Lianting nor Ling Huchong.

Dongfang Bubai, unaware of the peculiar thoughts in Qing Yu’s mind, said, "Kid, since the Sunflower Manual you have learned is incomplete, I will pass on to you the real Sunflower Manual. Listen well, the first layer concerns the birth of the yang qi of the heaven and earth, which occurs at 2 a.m., and at this moment, one should steady the heart and circularize the breath, casting aside all distractions in the mind..."

It could be said that the complete Sunflower Manual had long been destroyed by Red Leaf Zen Master, and even the Sunflower Manual that Dongfang Bubai learned was stolen from the Hua Mountain Sect and was an incomplete version. Nevertheless, Dongfang Bubai lived up to his name of the unbeaten. He actually managed to fill in and complete the Sunflower Manual. Whether this Sunflower Manual 2.0 was comparable to the original version was still unknown, but its power had already been verified by the phrase "From the east rises the sun, only I am unbeatable."

It was Dongfang Bubai who made the Sunflower Manual famous, not the Sunflower Manual that made Dongfang Bubai famous.
