63: Master resolves conflict and harmony, test

In the early morning, Zhang Yang walked out of his quiet room.

After a night of sorting through his thoughts, Zhang Yang had a clear idea for the Fusion and creation of Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques.

It had to be all-encompassing, covering all types of Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques, leaving nothing out.

It also had to be the most suitable for him, tailor-made for his own needs.

Zhang Yang took out his token, preparing to teleport to his Revered Master's side.

"Junior Brother, you've finished your seclusion." Sect Master Ling Yue appeared beside Zhang Yang with a smile.

"Senior Brother?" Zhang Yang stopped what he was doing and looked to the side, curious as to why the Sect Master was looking for him now.

"Hehe, these are portraits of various women sent by the noble families of the Southern Region, including detailed records of their backgrounds, cultivation, temperaments, and so on."

"If you have time, you can take a look and see if they suit your taste."

Ling Yue gave a strange smile, then waved his hand, and thousands of portraits along with books recording information appeared before the two of them.

It had only been half a month, yet these guys had already gathered nearly two thousand women who fit Zhang Yang's aesthetic!

"I see." Zhang Yang waved his hand and put everything in front of him into his Storage Ring.

"Aren't you going to look now?" Ling Yue asked with a smile.

"No, I have some business; I need to find Revered Master."

Zhang Yang shook his head; now was not the time for such things. He was already impatient to begin Nourishing a Hundred Scriptures in One Furnace!

"Well, that's true. Oh, right! Take this!" Ling Yue tossed over a token.

"This is the control hub for the Formations of Qingyuan Peak. You are now the Revered Master of Qingyuan Peak and can use this to control its Formations."

"However, you're basically the only one on Qingyuan Peak right now. If you need help managing it, you can have the Sect assign three thousand Utility Disciples to you."

Zhang Yang took the token, nodded, and put it into his Storage Ring.

Qingyuan Peak was not a small peak within the Clear Wind Sect; it was quite prominent, with beautiful scenery and a much higher concentration of Origin Qi than the outside world.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

"No need. I'm leaving now!" Ling Yue waved his hand and left.

Zhang Yang funneled Origin Power into the token given by his Revered Master. Suddenly, a mysterious force enveloped his body, and in the next instant, he appeared on a mountain peak.

Clouds and mist swirled around, making it impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

"You're here!" Xie Chonghe's voice rang out, and in the next instant, he appeared before Zhang Yang's eyes.

"Revered Master!" Zhang Yang bowed.

"Alright, come here. I'll first test your strength in all aspects."

Xie Chonghe had a smile on his face; sparring with his disciple was one of the few interests he had since returning to the Southern Region.

"Alright, Revered Master, please test me!"

Zhang Yang nodded; he also really wanted to know what stage his strength in various aspects corresponded to.

"Let's start with something simpler: your pure physical ability!" Xie Chonghe waved his hand, and a giant boulder appeared before them.

"Come on. This is an Earth Rank Spirit Treasure I refined for testing. Just throw a punch at it with all your might, using only pure physical strength!"

Looking at the giant boulder, Zhang Yang couldn't help but examine it. This boulder looked ordinary, yet it was actually an Earth Rank Spirit Treasure!

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yang mobilized his entire body and threw a punch with pure physical strength, slamming it into the giant boulder.

Bang!

The giant boulder didn't budge, and there wasn't even a dent.

Zhang Yang was a bit surprised. This punch of his could have even shattered a mountain. This boulder was indeed an Earth Rank Spirit Treasure; it was truly extraordinary!

In the next instant, a line of words appeared on the giant boulder.

[Nascent Transformation Realm, Seventh Level].

"Good boy! That's quite something!" Xie Chonghe looked at the result and couldn't help but nod in praise.

To have physical strength comparable to a seventh-level Nascent Transformation Realm Martial Artist while only at the fourth level of the Profound Core Realm—this was even stronger than the offspring of some Divine Beasts in the Central State!

"Seventh level of the Nascent Transformation Realm? It seems my physical strength is quite good!" Seeing the result on the boulder, Zhang Yang nodded inwardly.

Although the Taiyin Refining Form Technique didn't focus on strengthening physical power, it was still an Earth Rank Low Grade Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

Its boost to Zhang Yang's physical body was quite decent!

Of course, this also included the contribution of the golden Origin Qi after Zhang Yang formed his dao rhyme golden core!

"Let's continue the testing!"

Next, Xie Chonghe conducted various tests on Zhang Yang: physical defense, speed, Origin Qi quality, and capacity.

As they went through them one by one, Xie Chonghe became increasingly shocked!

All of Zhang Yang's data far exceeded his cultivation Realm!

Especially his physical abilities; Zhang Yang could currently crush a Martial Artist below the fourth level of the Nascent Transformation Realm with nothing but his pure physical strength.

One must remember that Zhang Yang was currently only at the fourth level of the Profound Core Realm!

To jump a whole major Realm and crush an opponent with just physical strength—how terrifying!

"Impressive! Zhang Yang! You might really have been teleported to the Southern Region from some mysterious family in the Central State!"

"This is the first time I've seen a Genius like you in the Southern Region!" Xie Chonghe looked at Zhang Yang with a smile, a flash of shock in his eyes.

"Based on the abilities you've shown in the tests, killing a sixth-level Nascent Transformation Realm Martial Artist should not be a problem!"

"In the Southern Region, you are already capable of starting your own Sect!"

Xie Chonghe looked at Zhang Yang. "Next, I will suppress all my stats to the same level as your test results."

"Give it your all!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yang nodded heavily, his Battle Intent surging!

Having a former Venerable King Realm Cultivator like Xie Chonghe suppress all his stats to the same level as his own and being able to fight and spar with such an opponent was a rare opportunity!

In the next instant,

The two were locked in combat. Zhang Yang unleashed his various Martial Skills one after another, his weapon undergoing myriad transformations as he relentlessly attacked Xie Chonghe.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

No matter how Zhang Yang attacked, Xie Chonghe neutralized it perfectly. This former Venerable King Realm Martial Artist's grasp of power could be said to have reached an extreme.

Even when Zhang Yang used Sovereign Extreme Heaven Severing and some Earth-rank Martial Skills, he couldn't hurt Xie Chonghe.

Zhang Yang was like a nouveau riche, recklessly exerting his power.

Meanwhile, Xie Chonghe could make one unit of power do the work of two or even three; in terms of power control, the two were not on the same level!

During the battle, Zhang Yang gradually began to melt and refine all the Martial Skills he had learned. Only by refining everything he had learned into one furnace would it be possible to defeat the current Xie Chonghe.

Four hours! Five hours!

The battle never stopped!

The more he fought, the smoother Zhang Yang's movements became; the more they fought, the more shocked Xie Chonghe became!

Zhang Yang's battle talent was simply too terrifying! Moreover, his mastery of Martial Skills was the highest he had ever seen!

With his eyesight, he could naturally see the various Martial Skills Zhang Yang was using. There were quite a few Earth-rank Martial Skills from the Clear Wind Sect among them, and his proficiency in them had almost reached Perfection!

"Such a speed of Martial Skill cultivation is too frightening!"

Xie Chonghe was secretly shocked. How long had Zhang Yang been cultivating? How long had it been since he obtained these Martial Skills?

If he, a former Venerable King Realm Martial Artist, were to practice these Earth-rank Martial Skills, he was confident he could Cultivate them all to Perfection within a month!

But what was Zhang Yang's current cultivation? It was simply unbelievable!

And what made Xie Chonghe feel even more incredible was that Zhang Yang had actually begun to refine various Martial Skills during the battle.

He was certainly no stranger to this situation; he had also refined the Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques he had learned.

However, for someone like Zhang Yang, who was only in the Profound Core Realm, to want to refine Earth Rank Middle Grade Martial Skills was truly a bit of a pipe dream!
