C529 The Beauty Is like Poison 10000 Tips!

"What kind of martial technique is this?"

"Is it a battle technique? Ape Strike Technique? Or maybe the Azure Sun Martial Mansion's Rage of the Wild Bull?"

"It's none of those... and it seems even more powerful than the Azure Sun Martial Mansion's Rage of the Wild Bull!"

Though everyone present was young and inexperienced, they could still discern the power of martial techniques. When Woo Zhengyang unleashed the Dragon Countering Nine Steps with full force, it once again left everyone in awe.

This time, even Fong Zhiyuan and Yann Xinjue showed a change in their expressions.

If Woo Zhengyang's earlier sword skill was a stroke of luck, this new powerful martial technique was something else entirely.

"Could this guy have found some opportunity here?" someone speculated.

"Probably not. Mastering a martial technique isn't something that happens overnight. His skill seems too practiced and refined, suggesting he's been honing it for a long time."

"Not from the Bewilderment Dragon Stream? What kind of fortune does this guy have?"

Some spoke openly, while others remained silent, their eyes flickering as they watched Woo Zhengyang.

As they conversed, Woo Zhengyang, moving like a dragon, approached Sun Siyu. The No Life Sword in his hand was like the dragon's claw, tearing towards Sun Siyu.

“Boom...”

The four spinning wheels surrounding Sun Siyu whirled rapidly, the No Life Sword striking them with a burst of dazzling light, creating a stunning spectacle, though the thunderous sound slightly disrupted the atmosphere.

After the loud crash, Sun Siyu remained unharmed, protected by the spinning wheels, while Woo Zhengyang staggered back two steps.

Woo Zhengyang felt a tingling in his hand holding the sword, as if a strange force had surged through his arm, threatening to burst his veins.

The Moonlight Poison!

The Moonlight Poison isn't a real toxin but a unique feature of the "Dance of the Moonlit Beauty" technique. The moonlight energy, formed from the concentrated force of blood and qi, somehow reverses along the attacker's meridians, acting like a corrosive poison. Hence, the technique is also known as "Beauty as Poison."

This Moonlight Poison is the most peculiar aspect of the "Dance of the Moonlit Beauty." Later techniques and martial skills derived from it couldn't replicate this feature.

Woo Zhengyang tried to expel the Moonlight Poison by channeling his qi and blood, but found it extremely difficult. The poison spread relentlessly, starting from his arm and invading his lungs. Though his face remained calm, he was inwardly alarmed.

This Moonlight Poison had a similar effect to the Explosive Essence Powder he had encountered before.

Explosive Essence Powder, once it comes into contact with the true energy of a Qi Refining cultivator, detonates entirely. Meanwhile, the Moonlight Poison, when it enters the body of a Body Tempering cultivator, gradually erodes their vital energy, albeit at a slower pace. Otherwise, Woo Zhengyang would have already lost his ability to fight.

However, there's no cause for celebration. The Moonlight Poison can't be expelled or suppressed, leaving Woo Zhengyang's combat abilities compromised. How can he continue to battle Sun Siyu under these conditions? If he can't even dispel Sun Siyu's Moonlight Poison, how could he possibly face the strongest youth from the Moon Light Martial Mansion?

...

"Hmph, you were so arrogant just now, and this is all you’ve got?" Sun Siyu sneered, seeing Woo Zhengyang standing motionless. A hint of delight flashed across his face as the four spinning moons around him transformed into beams of light, merging with the slender sword in his hand.

Sun Siyu swiftly advanced, wielding his slender sword to strike at Woo Zhengyang. With one thrust, the four light swords appeared simultaneously, enveloping Woo Zhengyang in even more Moonlight Poison.

At that moment, a sudden burst of fiery red surrounded Woo Zhengyang. Instantly, it was as if a layer of flames covered him. Sun Siyu, who had been glowing with moonlight like a celestial being, suddenly seemed dim and overshadowed, as if the moon had met the sun and lost its brilliance.

“What is this?”

“Who is this guy, and what kind of technique is that?”

Woo Zhengyang was already the center of attention, but when the flames appeared around him, it sparked a flurry of discussions and speculation. However, everyone was barking up the wrong tree, except for Yu Wenqing from the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion, who had a keen eye and softly revealed the truth: “Innate Spirit Body!”

Innate Spirit Body!

Yu Wenqing’s voice wasn’t loud, but the platform was small enough that everyone heard him and was taken aback. They were familiar with the concept, some had even witnessed it before. But seeing it manifest in Woo Zhengyang was something else entirely. Was this guy really just a country boy?

At such a young age, his martial skills, techniques, cultivation, and combat power rivaled those of the elite disciples from the top martial schools. And now, he also possessed an Innate Spirit Body. If word got out about all this...

Many couldn’t help but gasp at the thought. Woo Zhengyang had always been strong, but this was on another level. Combining all these powerful attributes with an Innate Spirit Body made him more than just formidable.

If people learned about this, the three major martial schools would undoubtedly try to recruit and groom him. But it might be too late for them because, aside from the three schools, the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion was also present, and one of its disciples had already witnessed everything clearly...

In an instant, many people began to quickly reconsider their strategies, pondering how to build a good relationship with Woo Zhengyang. However, one person wasn't concerned with these thoughts—Sun Siyu.

When the flames appeared around Woo Zhengyang, Sun Siyu was a bit surprised. But with the battle about to begin, she couldn't afford to be distracted. The more extraordinary Woo Zhengyang seemed, the more determined she was to give it her all. She aimed to strike decisively while Woo Zhengyang was supposedly hindered by the Moonlight Poison, hoping to eliminate any future threats.

Her slender sword slashed forward with full force, followed closely by four glowing swords trailing fiery tails. At that moment, Woo Zhengyang sprang into action! Surrounded by a fiery aura, he resembled a roaring fire dragon.

Woo Zhengyang paid no mind to the four glowing swords around him. For him, the Moonlight Poison posed no threat, as the Profound Heaven Fire Power had already burned away the troublesome poison within him. The only challenge he faced was Sun Siyu's slender sword.

The martial skills of the Moon Light Martial Mansion relied heavily on the Moonlight Poison for their full effect. Without it, Sun Siyu's sword lost much of its power, leaving Woo Zhengyang unafraid.

"Clang..." The No Life Sword clashed with Sun Siyu's slender sword, ringing out with the sound of metal on metal. Simultaneously, the four glowing swords pierced into Woo Zhengyang's body.

However, Woo Zhengyang felt no discomfort and swung his sword again...

Starting at midnight, we're kicking off a five-update streak. I'm counting on all of you, my friends, to support next month's basic goals. Also, the daily five updates are just the baseline; extra updates will come with more flowers and rewards. I initially thought about setting the extra updates at ten flowers and ten thousand rewards, considering that five updates are already a solid base. But since we're writing a fantasy novel, how can we lose our spirit and shy away from challenges? So, next month's extra update rules will still be a half-price special. I hope everyone will enthusiastically send flowers and rewards, and invite your friends to join in the fun!
