33: Capture the spirits and send the generals

Zhang Zhiwei shrugged his shoulders, his expression as calm as an ancient well.

“Old Lu, perhaps you find this matter very difficult, but have you ever considered how those eight people back then managed to comprehend the Eight Wonders out of thin air?”

Lu Jin nodded.

“There’s some truth to what you said.”

The Old Celestial Master looked at Lin Yuan, who had interrupted his comprehension, and then withdrew his gaze.

He had just sensed a trace of restrictive power within Feng Hou Qi Men.

He was somewhat familiar with this power.

Even Lin Yuan’s earlier purple lightning, he was very familiar with.

Because hidden within the Celestial Master Degree was precisely this power of heaven and earth restrictions.

But it was a pity that after years of studying the Celestial Master Degree, he had never been able to master this method of borrowing the power of heaven and earth.

Even if he was a Tongtian Daoist, he was curious how to comprehend this restrictive power of heaven and earth.

If possible, Zhang Zhiwei really wanted Lin Yuan to try and see if he could unlock the restrictions of the Celestial Master Degree... However, Zhang Zhiwei only dared to think about such a thing.

At this moment, Tian Jinzhong, who was nearby, slowly said:

“However, one thing we can confirm is that those eight people back then definitely received some kind of fortuitous encounter, which allowed them to comprehend the ultimate power.”

The Old Celestial Master nodded.

“Hmm, Jinzhong is right.”

Hearing this, Lu Jin couldn't help but recall his old friend, Zheng Zibu, crawling to him on the verge of death.

He would remember that scene for a lifetime; he couldn't imagine what had happened to Zheng Zibu.

Zheng Zibu hadn’t explained how he, Rootless Life, and the others had comprehended the Eight Wonders, nor the experiences involved.

But Lu Jin believed that the Eight Wonders were definitely comprehended with external help.

However, if Lin Yuan truly mastered the ability to comprehend any technique just by looking at it, and if he learned all the Eight Wonders, then the Outsider World would probably… Lu Jin didn't dare to imagine. Lin Yuan's origins were a mystery; first a snake, then transforming into human form, and with such monstrous talent, he even suspected that Lin Yuan might be a powerful being who reincarnated incorrectly… Soon, a fatigued Wang Ye returned to the spectator seats after hearing that he had successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

“Daoist Wang, you’re incredible! You actually managed to suppress Zhuge Qing’s Marquis Wu Qi Men.”

Lin Yuan teased him from the side.

“Haha, Real Person Lin Yuan, you’re too modest. If we’re talking about who’s the strongest among the younger generation, it’s definitely you. Beating up two elders, I couldn’t do that.”

Zhang Lingyu said seriously:

“Daoist Wang, there’s no need for such modesty. To be able to suppress Zhuge Qing in Qi Men 術法, you are also an outstanding talent among the younger generation.”

“Real Person Lingyu, you flatter me.”

Wang Ye cupped his hands and smiled, looking at Lin Yuan.

“When Zhuge Qing left the arena just now, he told me that Real Person Lin Yuan had told him before the competition started that there would be a better opponent. Now that he’s eliminated, that so-called opponent should be me.”

“I’m very curious how you knew I was a sorcerer?”

Wang Ye truly couldn’t see through this young man before him.

And he also had a terrifying thought in his mind.

This person very likely also possessed one of the Eight Wonders, and he also desired the other Eight Wonders.

This wasn’t groundless, because Tian Jinzhong had only recovered after the Old Celestial Master took in Lin Yuan.

Although Mount Longhu hadn’t publicized this matter, Wang Ye knew that Lin Yuan must have been involved in Tian Jinzhong’s recovery, and one of the Eight Wonders, the All-encompassing Hands, could even regenerate severed limbs!

So the question was, how did Lin Yuan know that he possessed Feng Hou Qi Men?

During his duel with Zhuge Qing, he had only slightly demonstrated Feng Hou Qi Men.

“Daoist Wang, actually, I’m not only curious about you, I’m also curious about Feng Xingtong. I’m interested in all the inheritors of the Eight Wonders.”

Lin Yuan waved his hand, simply laying his cards on the table.

Wang Ye was even more confused.

“I haven’t even told my master about my Feng Hou Qi Men. How do you know?”

Lin Yuan leaned in with a mischievous grin.

“You know, right?”

“Of course, I definitely want to know.”

“Then teach me Feng Hou Qi Men, and I’ll tell you.”

“Hehe… Real Person Lin Yuan, you’re truly joking. Since you have your own secrets you don’t want to share, I won’t ask any further. Farewell.”

After speaking, Wang Ye hunched over, holding his head, and found a place to lie down.

Lin Yuan’s lips curved slightly upward. He hadn’t actually expected Wang Ye to give him Feng Hou Qi Men.

But it didn't matter; he would soon encounter Wang Ye again, and by then, Feng Hou Qi Men would be his.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyu patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder.

“Alright, Feng Xingtong is about to fight in the next match. Aren’t you interested in Soul Summoning? Aren’t you going to watch?”

“Let’s go, of course I want to watch closely.”

...On the arena.

Deng Youfu looked nervously at Feng Xingtong.

“The Feng family’s Soul Summoning is indeed extraordinary. He can actually summon several spirits onto himself at once.”

However, Deng Youfu scoffed at such things.

In his eyes, Feng Xingtong was an absolute scoundrel!

Most people from the Ma family usually only cooperate with one spirit.

Basically, both parties choose each other and then are bound for life.

It was too rare for Feng Xingtong to have several spirits on him so casually.

“Hehe, Brother Youfu, you’re truly amazing.”

Feng Xingtong looked relaxed. In his opinion, the outcome of this battle was already decided.

The Feng family’s Soul Summoning restrained all spirits. No matter how powerful Deng Youfu was, or how strong the spirits he summoned were, they would ultimately have to obey Feng Xingtong’s command.

Now he was just waiting for Deng Youfu to possess a spirit.

“Since you asked, then I shall mercifully tell you!”

Deng Youfu continued proudly, “Now I’ll show you the power of Grandpa Liu!”

“Little Deng Youfu! I respectfully invite! Grandpa Liu!”

As Deng Youfu roared, a black smoke instantly dispersed.

“Is this the Northern Wudang’s spirit possession? Interesting.”

At this moment, the Qi on Deng Youfu’s body surged several times over.

At this time, Deng Youfu sensed a familiar feeling in the audience.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan.

“Hmm? There’s even a newly promoted junior!? Interesting! This feeling… it can’t be wrong… the legend is actually true…”

Deng Youfu continuously scrutinized Lin Yuan up and down.

“The scent doesn’t lie, it’s this kid!”

Similarly, Lin Yuan also felt this powerful Qi, but he shook his head with a wry smile.

He also felt that powerful Qi, but unfortunately, his opponent was Feng Xingtong.

Soul Summoning is about restraining spirits, so isn't Deng Youfu just purely asking for trouble?
