91: Let's continue our exchange!

Ge Qiutang fell into doubt; her beauty was considered among the best in the Southern Region!

Her strength was also at the forefront, yet when she took the initiative to invite Zhang Yang to Cultivate with her, he actually refused!

"What's wrong? Come on!"

Zhang Yang frowned, looking at the motionless Ge Qiutang before him. Although Ge Qiutang was good-looking, Zhang Yang was a germaphobe and didn't want to become intimate companions with others.

However, though Zhang Yang had refused her cultivation invitation, the sparring still had to continue.

"Oh!"

Ge Qiutang finally snapped out of it and hurriedly looked up at Zhang Yang. Amidst a swirl of light, a Pipa appeared in her hands.

Looking at the instrument, Zhang Yang's brow furrowed slightly. He had forgotten that Ge Qiutang specialized in sonic attacks, which could disturb one's mind.

Although Zhang Yang had sonic attacks among the various Martial Skills he cultivated...

...he wasn't very skilled when it came to music.

His Sonic Techniques only used extreme volume or ear-piercing sounds to shatter an enemy's mind or leave them flustered and irritable.

Ge Qiutang was different; she was highly skilled in musical theory, and the music she played was often very pleasant to the ear.

She could slowly influence a person's mind in a subtle, silent manner, making them fall under her control without even realizing it—it was extremely terrifying.

Legend had it that she once used a single piece of music to turn an entire Sect into her dogs, making them follow her every command, even executing an order to commit suicide without hesitation.

"Dreamless Soul-Disturbing Melody!"

Ge Qiutang gave a low shout, her fingers plucking the Pipa repeatedly. Moving music filled the air, and Origin Qi was stirred, turning into an illusory mist that enveloped the entire Pyramid.

As the melodious music echoed through the space, the surrounding Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists looked solemn, focusing their minds and guarding their essence to defend against this Move.

The Dreamless Soul-Disturbing Melody was Ge Qiutang's signature Move. It worked subtly, capable of making a Martial Artist's mind chaotic and manic...

...causing brothers to turn on each other, fathers and sons to kill one another, and couples to become enemies. It was an extremely terrifying Sonic Art.

Unless one's Concept was a level higher than Ge Qiutang's, or they possessed a steadfast will capable of severing all stray thoughts, they could not be immune to this Move.

Among the hundreds of Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists around, only a few dozen could withstand this Move unscathed.

Many of the rest had to pay a price to resist it.

Listening to the ubiquitous, pleasant music, Zhang Yang's brow relaxed.

Setting aside the Move's various eerie effects, the music itself was indeed very beautiful, even better than many songs he had heard in his previous life.

This melody was truly extraordinary; to be able to stir up the various dark sides of the human heart with such light and soothing music was enough to show its brilliance.

However, this Move had no effect on him. Zhang Yang had long since achieved the Yang Soul, and with the enhancement from the Fire Refinement Method of the Five Elements Body Cultivation Art's Fire Refining Chapter...

...a mere sonic attack at the Infant Transformation Realm trying to affect Zhang Yang's mind was simply wishful thinking.

Listening to the music, not a single negative emotion surfaced in Zhang Yang's mind; they were all blocked by his powerful Yang Soul. Furthermore, his triple Law Concept enveloped him, severing all unknown thoughts!

To Zhang Yang, this Dreamless Soul-Disturbing Melody was nothing more than a pleasant tune.

Seeing that Zhang Yang was completely unaffected, Ge Qiutang's expression changed. Her fingers moved rapidly, sending out a series of sound waves that instantly increased the volume of the entire space by several notches.

The melodious music turned shrill. Just hearing it made one feel irritable.

It was even more grating than the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard. A Mortal would likely lose their mind and start killing indiscriminately after just one listen.

"Holy crap!"

The surrounding Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists cursed under their breath, then worked with those nearby to isolate the shrill sound waves.

But sound waves were pervasive; isolating them in this manner made it difficult to completely neutralize them!

Hearing this incredibly shrill music, Zhang Yang frowned, and a hint of annoyance rose in his mind.

This annoyance wasn't due to the various Profound Truths within the sound waves, but simply because it sounded absolutely terrible!

It felt like it was challenging the limits of human endurance.

With a thought, myriad transformations, which had been in the form of a sword, instantly transformed into a giant drum that floated before Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang raised his right fist, his physical strength exploding from within as he slammed it onto the surface of the giant drum!

Boom!

With a thunderous boom, the sound of the drum shook heaven and earth, completely shattering the surrounding shrill sound waves!

The entire Pyramid shook as if a massive earthquake had struck. The defenses of the surrounding Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists were completely shattered, blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and their minds were shaken.

The power of a single drumbeat was so terrifying that it injured hundreds of surrounding Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists and struck awe into their souls.

Ge Qiutang, who bore the brunt of Zhang Yang's drumbeat, was even more severely injured. Her hair was now disheveled, her face pale, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood onto the ground as her aura withered.

At the same time, the strings of the Pipa in her hands were all broken, and even the Pipa itself showed a faint crack.

"Should I learn some music?" Zhang Yang looked around and frowned. Using sonic attacks like this made it too easy to accidentally injure others!

"This is still a bit too slow!"

Zhang Yang thought to himself. Fighting these Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists one by one to integrate various Profound Truths was simply too slow!

"Come! This time, ten of you come at once!" Zhang Yang looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Are you sure, Zhang Yang?" The surrounding Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists' expressions changed as they looked at him.

One person challenging ten Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists!

This was no simple matter; even the Clear Wind Sect Leader, Ling Yue, had only fought three Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists at once!

Moreover, everyone present was a top-tier Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artist of the Southern Region, and their various Moves were incredibly bizarre.

If they attacked from ten directions simultaneously, combined with the various changes within their Moves...

...even a Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artist would not be able to easily resolve it without using spatial power!

Now Zhang Yang actually wanted to fight ten at once!

"I'm sure. Come at me ten at a time! I will fight you in the areas you are most skilled in to achieve the best tempering effect!" Zhang Yang nodded slowly, his expression calm.

Before anyone could react, Mu Xu took the lead and reached the top of the Pyramid. His body swelled to two and a half meters tall as he threw a fierce punch at Zhang Yang.

"Third Form!" Mu Xu roared inwardly, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yang, his expression filled with excitement.

After this period of cultivation, he was finally able to barely master the Third Form!

As Mu Xu threw his punch, the world changed color! His fist seemed to pierce the limits of space, arriving before Zhang Yang in an instant.

"So strong!" The surrounding Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists' expressions changed when they saw the power of this punch.

Mu Xu was already well-known among the Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists of the Southern Region, his physical strength was unparalleled, and he was a famous battle maniac; now, it seemed his strength had improved even further!

Facing this punch, Zhang Yang neither dodged nor avoided it. His right hand moved even faster, catching the incoming fist.

Then, he struck Mu Xu's chest with his left fist. Inside Zhang Yang's body, golden and red light shone together, and countless muscles exploded with immeasurable power!

"Bang!"

Mu Xu was sent flying by Zhang Yang's punch, his chest caving in.

Zhang Yang had held back his strength with this punch; otherwise, the explosive force would have been enough to blow Mu Xu apart.

But even with the held-back strength, this blow likely injured Mu Xu's heart.

However, for an Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artist, the heart was not a fatal wound.

Even if the heart were completely blown apart, it would not affect the battle!
