A Thoroughly Exhilarating Fight

On this day, two more Golden Core Cultivators appeared in the Yang Household of Coiled Snake Island, and all the Cultivators in the Lineage were swept up in a frenzy.

Including Yang Tiankang, the Yang Household of Coiled Snake Island now has a total of three Golden Core Cultivators. This level of strength is not weak even among the nearby Golden Core Forces.

Taking advantage of the fact that they had just broken through to the Golden Core, consolidated their cultivation, and upgraded their Life-Bound Law Treasure, the Yang Household of Coiled Snake Island held Golden Core Banquet. Many Golden Core Cultivators from tens of thousands of miles around came to attend after hearing the news.

As a result, the Yang Household's influence greatly increased; they were no longer unknown but possessed considerable influence.

It is worth mentioning that the Sea Abyss Sect actually sent people to attend this Golden Core Banquet, which greatly shocked the other Golden Core Cultivators and gave them a clearer understanding of the Yang Household's strength and connections, making them more amiable and enthusiastic in their attitude.

A month after the Golden Core Banquet, a golden light streaked across the sky and flew towards the Four Symbols Island.

Riding the Third-Tier Upper-Grade Flying Shuttle provided by Yang Tiankang, Yang Xuanwu and Yang Xuanye arrived at the eastern sea area of Four Symbols Island in just a few days.

After using a special Secret Method to contact the Four Symbols Secret Realm, a Law Power descended, dragging the two of them into a spatial vortex.

In a flash, the majestic and imposing figure of the Guardian Deity General appeared before them.

"Two Sacred Son Attendant, are you here to participate in the Sect Examination Golden Core Level cultivators?" The Guardian Deity General's lips curled into a smile, which became even more pronounced when he saw Yang Xuanwu.

"Yes, senior. Please, divine general, open the Four Symbols Tower Divine General us two brothers to conduct the Sect Examination!" Yang Xuanwu clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Alright, since that's the case, you two come with me!" As soon as the Guardian Deity General's voice fell, a force enveloped the two of them, and in the flow of light and shadow, the magnificent Four Symbols Tower soon came into view.

"We've arrived at the Four Symbols Tower. Go inside. I'm sure you don't need me to explain the rules again; your cousin should have already told you three years ago."

"Yes, we both understand the rules, and we wouldn't dare trouble the Divine General!" Yang Xuanye said.

Then, the two brothers exchanged a glance and walked side by side toward the gate of the Four Symbols Tower.

As Yang Xuanwu passed through the Portal that resembled a curtain of water, his body felt light, the scenery before his eyes blurred, and he involuntarily closed his eyes.

Once he regained his footing, he was already on the first floor of the Four Symbols Tower.

A burly figure, also carrying Long Spear, came into view.

Bang!!

With a single thrust, the four forces of Earthfire, water, and wind intertwined, evolving into a terrifying power that could destroy everything, instantly annihilating the figure before him.

For the next six levels, Yang Xuanwu did the same thing: two movements, thrusting his spear forward and then delivering a horizontal thrust.

Even on the seventh floor, a figure with strength reaching the Golden Core Realm was felled by Yang Xuanwu, whose strength was greatly amplified by the Battle Intent Furnace above his head, with a single spear thrust.

Soon, he arrived at the eighth floor of the Four Symbols Tower.

Like the opponent Yang Tiankang had encountered before, he was at the peak of the Early Golden Core stage, with the Law Power quality of Third-Rank Golden Core, Dao of Combat of Great Achievement. He appeared as a middle-aged man with a blank expression.

The battle began quickly!

However, unlike Yang Tiankang, who had to go to great lengths to defeat this person.

Yang Xuanwu used less than ten moves to leave a large hole in the middle-aged man's head, thus passing the test directly.

Having passed eight trials in a row, Yang Xuanwu's fighting spirit had been pushed to its limit. After swallowing a Qi-Replenishing Pill Medicine, he used the power of the Battle Intent Furnace to quickly refine it.

This Divine Ability created by Yang Xuanwu is not only for combat. In fact, it can also assist in refining Pills, accelerate the tempering of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and make cultivation progress more rapid, among other effects.

After a cup of tea, we reached the ninth floor of the Four Symbols Tower.

In the space filled with pale white light, a slender young man carrying an Azure Dragon halberd stood in front of Yang Xuanwu.

Unlike his previous stiff demeanor, this man's eyes sparkled with a lively light, suggesting he was not a rigid Puppet.

Sensing this, Yang Xuanwu became extremely vigilant.

"Boy, is it you who has cultivated Lao Tzu's 'Four Symbols Sacred Scripture'?" A slightly arrogant voice came from the young man's mouth.

Yang Xuanwu was slightly taken aback, then frowned.

"Why aren't you saying anything? A real man shouldn't be so hesitant and dawdling, like a woman." The young man scoffed.

Yang Xuanwu's face turned cold, and two blazing suns rose in his eyes, his Battle Intent Furnace activating directly above his head.

A continuous stream of power poured down from the crown of his head. Yang Xuanwu's face was cold and stern. He remained silent and thrust his spear forward.

"Good lad, you're a man of your word! Haha, your Divine Ability is not bad either, it has actually reached the half-step perfection realm, not weak, not weak... Come on, there's only a little time left, let's have a few moves, let me see what kind of person my successor really is!" The young man laughed loudly, pointing his Azure Dragon Halberd diagonally at the sky, then his face showed a crazy fighting spirit, and he slashed down with the halberd.

Boom!!

The spears clashed, and a violent shockwave swept outwards.

Both were cultivators who practiced both Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body, and having condensed the Four Symbols Spirit Body, their physical strength was quite formidable. Without retreating an inch, they launched another attack.

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty moves had passed, and the young man's expression grew increasingly frenzied as he fought, muttering something under his breath.

Yang Xuanwu naturally heard clearly what the young man said, "I never thought that my self-created Mad Demon Halberd Technique would actually meet its match today..."

The fierce battle continued; both men were war-crazed, and fighting was an unparalleled pleasure for them.

Especially in a battle where the forces are evenly matched, it's like a drunkard encountering fine wine or a lecher meeting a beautiful woman—the exhilarating feeling is indescribable to Human Dao.

After another hundred moves, the young man's expression changed. "Damn it, I can't use up the last bit of willpower I have left."

So he said, "Kid, how about we settle this in one move?"

"Okay!!" Yang Xuanwu said succinctly.

After each gathering their strength for a moment, the two collided like burning meteors.

"Kill!!"

"War!!"

Two loud shouts escaped their lips involuntarily, and Yang Xuanwu's face also showed a hint of excitement.

The two blazing suns seemed to leap out of his eyes.

Thump!!

A thunderclap rose from the ground, and a terrifying torrent, like the tide of the ocean, rolled outwards, its aftershocks surging and instantly sweeping across the entire ninth level of space.

Laugh!!

The sound of weapons piercing flesh was so faint amidst the deafening roar, yet it was so clear to the ears of both sides in the battle.

Blood splattered everywhere. Yang Xuanwu stumbled back a few steps and looked up. He was horrified to see a large gash that ran diagonally from left to right across his chest.

His flesh was torn and blood flowed freely, yet Yang Xuanwu's face was filled with intense excitement—he had won!!

"Haha, that's wonderful, that's wonderful! To have a successor like you to send my remaining consciousness on its final journey is truly a joyous occasion in life." Maniacal laughter came from ahead.

The young man, despite having a large, bowl-sized hole in his chest, showed no sign of dejection.

"Kid, take this. These are the sect Contribution Points I left behind. It's agreed that when a successor I approve appears, these Contribution Points will belong to him. In addition, you can also exchange the remaining pages of the 'Four Symbols Sacred Scripture' and the Divine Ability Mad Demon Halberd Technique for free. Hahaha, born to fight against heaven and earth, to have someone inherit my Dao Lineage after death is truly a blessing..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's figure vanished in a flash of light, leaving behind only a special token engraved with images of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts.

Yang Xuanwu bowed solemnly in the direction the young man had disappeared, then stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the token.
