A New Skill

When the powerful force emerged from the woman's fingers, everything around him seemed to be still. Chi Muwu's face was full of fear, but he found that he could not hide at all, because the moment the woman in front of him raised her hand, he was already destined to fail.

Failure equals death.

Cracks appeared from Chi Muwu's body, extending as densely as a spider web. In the blink of an eye, cracks were all over his body.

A gust of wind blew by, and with this gust of wind, Chi Muwu's body turned into ashes all over the sky. With just one move, a Transcendent Realm sixth-grade master was beaten into fly ash, which shows the terrifying strength of this woman.

Xu Bai stopped in mid-air, looked at the beautiful woman in Daoist robes in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "We meet again, Female Daoist Abbot."

The person who came was none other than Female Daoist Abbot.

Just now, when Xu Bai was preparing to return to Nanhua Dao, he turned around and saw that Female Daoist Abbot was already standing behind Chi Muwu, and Female Daoist Abbot's eyes were clear. Apparently, he was not affected by the madness, or in other words, he had a short period of clarity like before.

Female Daoist Abbot put down his raised hand and looked at Chi Muwu who turned into ashes in front of him. He couldn't help but frowned. "The people of the Barbarian Tribe must have spent a huge price to break through the blockade and get here. Their purpose is to kill you. It seems that you have been included in their must-kill list."

Xu Bai shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it. There are too many people in the world who want to kill me, but I'm not living well yet."

Even if Female Daoist Abbot can't come today, Xu Bai can still leave.

Since entering this circle, he has experienced crises large and small, and has successfully turned dangers into safety along the way.

As for the Barbarian Tribe and Great Yue Kingdom wanting to kill him, Xu Bai has already taken it lightly and worked hard to improve his strength in order to deal with various risks later.

But these are all things to do later, and now Xu Bai is more interested in why Female Daoist Abbot is looking for him again.

"You want it again?" Xu Bai pondered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his words were somewhat ambiguous, but fortunately Female Daoist Abbot didn't hear them.

Essentially, it means that Female Daoist Abbot wants to find him while he is awake and let him use Moving Stars and Changing Constellations again.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked up and down and found that Female Daoist Abbot didn't bring the wood carving, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Female Daoist Abbot shook his head and said, "No, actually I came here this time not to find you. I just wanted to find the dean of the Azure Cloud Academy while I was still awake. I didn't expect to meet you halfway, and I happened to help you."

Xu Bai After listening, he said with great interest, "What do you want to do with the dean? I happen to be going back too Azure Cloud Academy, why don't we come together."

"Some private matters." Female Daoist Abbot said, "There is something about Evil Book, let's go. This is not the place to talk. Let's go there first and then talk."

Evil Book?

Xu Bai touched his chin and thought for a moment.

Of course he knows what is going on with Evil Book. It is these things that cause differences among readers and can even affect their minds.

But just like Female Daoist Abbot said, now is not the time to talk, Xu Bai didn't ask again, and the two went to the Azure Cloud Academy together.

Nothing else happened along the way. The two of them arrived at the Azure Cloud Academy smoothly. After arriving at the Azure Cloud Academy, Xu Bai led the way, and Female Daoist Abbot followed behind, arriving at the dean's room.

Xu Bai raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Soon, the dean opened the door. When he saw it was Xu Bai, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Female Daoist Abbot behind Xu Bai, he frowned slightly.

"Jade Face Abbot, aren't you already crazy? How did you get back to normal?"

Jade Face is the name of Female Daoist Abbot.

This was really beyond the dean's expectation. He didn't expect that he would run into the former Jade Face Abbot.

Youdao is a hero in troubled times. In today's peaceful era, many geniuses are not worthy of their reputation in the eyes of the dean. But in their era, it was an extremely chaotic era. At that time, many geniuses were truly worthy of their reputation.

Jade Face Abbot is one of them.

A truly peerless genius, he created a technique that was the leader of hundreds of families. Unfortunately, it had serious drawbacks, leading him to fall into endless madness.

Now that he not only saw a living Jade Face Abbot, but even a conscious Jade Face Abbot, the dean couldn't help but feel surprised.

Female Daoist Abbot glanced at Xu Bai and said, "Thanks to Xu Bai, I was able to wake up briefly. When I was awake, I was able to do many things."

Xu Bai?

The dean was even more confused. "Didn't he inherit your mantle? Why is it that he is here to help you?"

As soon as these words came out, Female Daoist Abbot was confused.

"Where did I know he would inherit my mantle? He didn't."

The dean's eyes fell on Xu Bai.

Xu Bai coughed awkwardly, looked up at the ceiling, and said that all this was your guess. I have not admitted it, but I have not denied it either.

When the dean saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel itchy with hatred.

Good guy, it turns out that I was very excited and confident in guessing a result, but I was still wrong.

This speculation has nothing to do with Xu Bai. The most important thing is that Xu Bai did not deny it and acquiesced naturally.

What does this mean? This is a slap in the face. The most important thing is that the person involved is still at the scene.

When you live to their age, you need to pay attention to face. Female Daoist Abbot is from the same era as them, especially in front of such contemporaries, you need to pay attention to face.

Otherwise, if word spreads in the future, Academy Dean can't even guess a person's occupation, and even guesses it wrong. Isn't that going to make people laugh?

In Female Daoist Abbot's confused eyes, the dean coughed and said.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so I made a little joke. Nowadays, these young people like to joke with each other."

Xu Bai: "..."

He suddenly realized that the dean was quite shameless.

Fortunately, Female Daoist Abbot did not dwell on this matter. He quickly put it behind him and got straight to the point.

"There is not much time left for me to wake up. I came here this time because of some things I came into contact with when I was crazy. These things are about Evil Book."

When the dean heard the words Evil Book, a solemn expression appeared on his face. "We'll talk after you come in."

For any scholar, they will have the same expression when they hear the words Evil Book. After all, a Evil Book is the thing that can most easily ruin a scholar.

In this world, no one can resist the temptation to take shortcuts. The only difference is the degree of resistance. For readers, Evil Book is something that can make them give up their original principles.

Female Daoist Abbot and Xu Bai walked in. Xu Bai looked around, but did not find Yun Zihai.

"Where's Brother Yun, has he returned to normal?" Xu Bai asked.

The last time we met, we saw Yun Zihai playing with an iron ball, but this time we saw no one there, so Xu Bai asked this question.

"Already fully recovered, I asked him to go back to his room to consolidate. After all, it's still a bit unsightly for him to practice that thing in my room." The dean said.

A man stripping off his shirt and playing with a huge iron ball in the room would be irritating to anyone watching. Even elderly people like the dean would not be able to stand it.

The dean was about to serve tea, but Female Daoist Abbot waved his hand, saying that he didn't have much time and he had to hurry up and get down to business.

A book was taken out of Female Daoist Abbot's sleeves and placed on the table.

Female Daoist Abbot pointed to the book on the table and said, "Dean, come and take a look. Is this book Evil Book?"

The dean picked up the book, flipped through two pages at random, then closed the book and said, "Yes."

It was a simple word, but it carried enough weight when spoken from the dean's mouth.

Xu Bai listened, but his eyes were fixed on the book.

Above the so-called Evil Book, a golden progress bar appeared, which looked extremely dazzling, and the speed of the progress bar was very slow.

"It's been published, it's a slow progress bar again." Xu Bai thought in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

Although he looked calm on the surface, Xu Bai was already thinking about how to get this book.

Not to mention what he was thinking, Female Daoist Abbot spoke again after getting the dean's answer.

"As long as it's Evil Book, I got this book from the Great Yue Kingdom, and Great Yue Kingdom has many." Female Daoist Abbot pointed at the book and explained how he got it.

"Not only that, they did not stop the circulation of Evil Book, and even started to circulate Evil Book to the Great Chu Kingdom. Many scholars were persecuted, but they did not reveal it and hid it deeply."

As the words fell, the room fell into silence.

Xu Bai frowned slightly, and he seemed to have thought of something behind this.

"Great Yue Kingdom is he trying to avoid Border Pass's battlefield and move to another battlefield?"

It is obvious to all how harmful Evil Book is to scholars, but it can also make scholars improve quickly.

Great Yue Kingdom not only did not stop it, but also allowed it to circulate, and even turned a blind eye.

What's more, Evil Book was sent in the direction of the Great Chu Kingdom, with the purpose of dismantling Great Chu Kingdom from the readers.

Female Daoist Abbot nodded and said, "You and I have the same idea. They are trying to do something that is outrageous in the world. This approach is spurned by the entire world."

Xu Bai said, "So what, for the Great Yue Kingdom, even if they do it, no one will attack them."

There is nothing wrong with what I said.

Great Yue Kingdom We can even say openly that what they did was because they wanted to persecute scholars, but so what? Do the scholars in this world dare to find Great Yue Kingdom?

That is a parallel existence with the Great Chu Kingdom and Barbarian Tribe. Let alone the scholars in this world, even if the dean runs over in person, it will be difficult to end it.

When a country holds great power, ordinary people can no longer stop what it wants to do.

For example, this time Evil Book and Great Chu Kingdom can only stop the domestic circulation at best, but cannot regulate Great Yue Kingdom.

You can't start a war directly. Starting a war without absolute certainty will not only waste people and money, but will even provide Barbarian Tribe on the side with an opportunity to make a profit.

The dean slapped his hand on the table and said angrily, "You bastard! What a bastard! How can the scholars in this world provoke them? To start from this aspect, they are simply beasts!"

Behind the dean, a purple book appeared. When the book appeared, the surrounding scenery was gradually changing.

This was the dean's Heavenly Change. Because the dean was extremely angry at the moment, he couldn't control it. After he reacted, he weakly waved his hand to disperse the Heavenly Change.

"This Great Yue Kingdom... is really shameless." The dean said with a bitter smile.

Female Daoist Abbot said, "Didn't you realize it before? In order to strengthen their national strength, they provoked a melee between the Great Feng Kingdom and Great Chu Kingdom. It was precisely because of that battle that they made a big fuss. Bi Cai, if Chu Emperor hadn't acted vigorously and led Great Chu Kingdom's people and troops to kill him, Great Chu Kingdom would probably have to follow Great Yue Kingdom's lead now."

The dean sighed, feeling deeply helpless.

Even though he is the dean of the Azure Cloud Academy, even though he is a person respected by the entire world, he is still unable to resist a country.

"For the current plan, we can only report it to His Majesty and ask him to seize the time to remove these cancers." Xu Bai said.

Now this matter no longer only involves the Jianghu matter, but also involves the confrontation between two countries. At this time, the Jianghu is considered extremely small.

The dean nodded, and that was all he could do for now.

Female Daoist Abbot stood up. "There is not much time left for me. Soon I will fall into that crazy state again. I must leave first. The further away from the bustling place, the better."

Xu Bai asked, "When will you be able to get rid of that state permanently, or will I give it to you again?"

Female Daoist Abbot shook his head and said, "It's useless. What I got from you is already the limit. It depends on whether I can overcome this difficulty. It will take time, and I don't know how long it will take. But now that I can get a long period of sobriety, it is already very good for me."

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "How about you carve another wooden sculpture for me before leaving?"

You have come here, but you cannot come in vain. You must leave something behind before leaving.

Female Daoist Abbot Hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Next time, it took too long. I'm worried that I don't have enough time to carve the wood carving."

Xu Bai sighed. After receiving this answer, he also knew that it was impossible. Although he was a little regretful, it was better than Female Daoist Abbot going crazy.

Female Daoist Abbot didn't stay any longer, just opened the door and left. He walked in a hurry and didn't even leave a word. It looked like he didn't have much time to wake up.

After Female Daoist Abbot left, the dean picked up Evil Book on the table and placed it in the brazier, apparently preparing to destroy it.

Xu Bai Seeing this situation, he quickly said, "Dean, wait a moment."

The dean stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Can you give me this book? I want to see what these books are. Don't worry, they will be destroyed after reading them." Xu Bai said.

The dean handed Evil Book to Xu Bai without asking the reason.

It was so enjoyable that Xu Bai was surprised.

"You're not a scholar, so this won't affect you." The dean said directly, "Just remember to destroy it when the time comes."

Xu Bai received it and agreed, "This matter Evil Book must be reported as soon as possible."

The dean nodded and said, "Leave it to me. After all, it was caused by scholars, so it is appropriate for me to report it."

Xu Bai thought for a while, and there was nothing wrong with saying that. He didn't have time to run Shadow Courier Station now. After all what happened to Chi Muwu, he felt that it would be better for him to seize the time and update the progress bar.

Things were almost done, so he didn't stay here anymore, but left the room directly and returned to his house.

After closing the door, Xu Bai placed three books on the table.

Next to him, a first-grade puppet was guarding.

The three books are Enhanced Strengthening Body Art, travel notes, and the Evil Book I just obtained.

This time he won't prioritize. Anyway, he plans to finish all the books before leaving Azure Cloud Academy, so the order doesn't matter.

Xu Bai picked up one of the books and flipped through it, looking at the slowly growing progress bar in front of him, and continued his boring life.

Time gradually passed, and a long time passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, various things happened. The most obvious thing is that Great Chu Kingdom has strengthened its control over the border, which has caused headaches for many businessmen coming and going.

Many of these merchants make profits from each other between the Great Yue Kingdom and Barbarian Tribe, but because Great Chu Kingdom has strengthened border control, many of their goods cannot be brought in.

Secondly, Great Chu Kingdom conducted a strict screening of readers across the country, exposing some readers to traces of Evil Book.

Not only that, but he also pointed the finger at the Great Yue Kingdom, claiming that this was something Great Yue Kingdom had done, and said that Great Yue Kingdom had a vengeful heart.

But just as Xu Bai thought, Great Yue Kingdom did not admit it, but did not deny it either, and maintained a silent attitude.

I just need to tell everyone in the world that I did it. If you have the ability, come to me! These two things can be regarded as the most sensational things in recent times.

Although Xu Bai has been staying at the Azure Cloud Academy, he has heard about it. He still very much agrees with Chu Emperor's vigorous and vigorous methods.

After this period of time, Liu Xu left. After all, he was the Sizheng of Bureau of Surveillance, and now that he had reached the first rank by chance, he needed to perform his duties as soon as possible.

Yun Zihai also left. After playing iron ball for such a long time, he has initially mastered the enhanced version of Body-Strengthening Technique. He only needs to slowly consolidate it in the future.

After all, he is a king with a different surname, and he also has his own territory, so he needs to go back to manage it and cannot stay for too long.

Among the Azure Cloud Academy, only Xu Bai remains.

Today, the sun still rises as usual.

In Nanhua Dao, which is full of scholarly atmosphere, many scholars look at the rising sun in the sky, become inspired by poetry, and compose poems and lyrics.

There is no atmosphere of the market here, only the atmosphere of books.

In the Azure Cloud Academy, a room with a strong book atmosphere, Xu Bai looked at the attribute panel with light blue smoke in front of him, showing a satisfied smile.

[Name: Xu Bai.]

[Realm: Metamorphosis Second Rank Loose Cultivator.]

[Swordless Saber Grand Technique (Transformation Level 2): Full level.]

[Myriad Aspects Heavenly Art (Transformation Level 2): Full level.]

[Returning Wind Flowing Snow (Level 5): Full level.]

[Nine Revolutions of Action and Ruin (Level 9): Full level.]

[Moving Stars and Changing Constellations (Level 9): Full level.]

[Vajra Saint Demon Body (level 8); full level.]

[Strengthening Kidney Gathering Art (Transformation Level 1): Full level.]

[Poison Compendium (Level 9): Full level.]

[Mechanism Puppet True Explanation (Level 9): Full level.]

[Undying Soul Body (Transformation Level 1): Full level.]

[Water Adaptation Method (Level 5): Full level.]

[Feng Shui Arithmetic (Level 9): Full level.]

[Thousand Faces Method (Level 9): Full level.]

[Yin Yang Coexistence (Transformation Level 1): Full level.]

[Comprehension: Full level.]

It took a long time to complete the progress bar of the three books, and after finishing the progress bar, the rewards gained were simply huge.

The first is the enhanced version of Body-Strengthening Technique. After the liver transplantation, it was merged with Strengthening Kidney Gathering Art. The name did not change, but the skill level was raised to the first level of transformation.

After reaching this level, Strengthening Kidney Gathering Art can store True Yuan Power, the first level of metamorphosis. In other words, he now has more reserves of True Yuan Power, the first level of metamorphosis.

This is a huge improvement. In the past, his Strengthening Kidney Gathering Art could no longer keep up, but now he has caught up again. Just imagine that when fighting the enemy in the future, not only will he have a steady supply of True Yuan Power, but he will also be able to join the burst.

Another improvement is travel notes and Evil Book.

After the two merged with each other, they became a new skill named Yin Yang Coexistence.

This skill is very unique and highly targeted.

Yin and Yang have always been a very common saying in the world. Yin and Yang are opposite to each other, but they complement each other. Either yin or yang.

Yin Yang Coexistence can improve Xu Bai's combat effectiveness in all aspects. Overall, it can increase his combat effectiveness by 10%.

As for how to improve, a very simple analogy is that if the enemy is yin, he will use yang, which will get extra bonuses. If the enemy is yang, he will use yin, which will also get extra bonuses.

As for how to determine yin and yang, there is its own mystery.

However, this skill also has certain limitations, that is, it only has the first level of transformation and can only be improved by 10%.

But enough is enough.

As the skill level increases in the future, this bonus will gradually increase. By then, Xu Bai will feel terrible.

"I seem to have become stronger again, and my ability to fight across levels is even stronger." Xu Bai touched his chin and thought.

Not long ago, when Capital City was there, Eunuch Wei once commented that his combat effectiveness could be improved by two levels.

Even though it is only a mere two levels, Transcendent Realm is not as good as the first to ninth levels below. After reaching Transcendent Realm, each level is like a world of difference.

For people all over the world, it is extremely difficult to surpass two levels, but for Xu Bai, it is as simple as eating and drinking.

But now with Strengthening Kidney Gathering Art, plus Yin Yang Coexistence, Xu Bai feels that he is not just talking about two levels. As for how far he can go, he will have to find someone to try it.

After feeling the changes in his body, Xu Bai recovered his thoughts and calmed down.

"It's time to leave."

The line Azure Cloud Academy has come to an end.

Old Hag has been solved, and his worries have also been solved accordingly, then there is no reason to stay here.

And Xu Bai has other things to do, such as going to Vajra Temple.

As I said before, when I was Upper Capital, both Azure Cloud Academy and Vajra Temple clearly expressed their support for me and stood on my side.

People need to know how to reciprocate politely, and they also need to know how to deal with the world. The other party gives you face, and you cannot ruin the other party's face.

I respect others as much as they respect me. Of course Xu Bai knows this, so I still have to take advantage of this time to go there.

What's more, Xu Bai is particularly interested in the host Vajra Temple.

After all, the host wrote many annotations on the Second Form when he was young, and those annotations were all written on Buddhist scriptures.

According to Wu Hua, at that time Vajra Temple planned to use these so-called rare books to communicate with other monasteries. Unexpectedly, the elders who proposed this idea were beaten up by the abbot.

Of course, Xu Bai is interested in such a host who is constantly testing the boundaries of social death.

He would not admit that he was more interested in the possibility of getting more progress bars.

Xu Bai stood up and stretched.

The first-grade puppets next to him had already been packed up, and they were just waiting for Xu Bai to set off. Xu Bai didn't stop either, and went directly to the dean's room to bid farewell to the dean.

As for the Evil Book, Xu Bai burned it in front of the dean.

The dean did not try to persuade him to stay. In his opinion, Xu Bai was a young man with great potential, and he was unique in the world and could not be trapped in the little Azure Cloud Academy.

Xu Bai left very low-key, without letting the dean or anyone else see him off, and when he left, he left late at night.

It's late at night.

A young man with an average appearance and a well-dressed figure quietly walked out of Nanhua Dao.

The young man's appearance is very ordinary, the kind of existence that you can't find in a crowd.

And this ordinary-looking young man is none other than Xu Bai.

He is no longer what he looked like before, but what he looked like after using Thousand Faces Method.

[Thousand Faces Method (Level 9): Full level.]

This skill can not only change the appearance with True Yuan Power, but also change the body shape.

Xu Bai felt that after Chi Muwu's incident, it was better to be careful, so he did not show up with his true colors.

After exiting Nanhua Dao and walking along Shadow Courier Station for a long time, he then took off and flew in the direction of Vajra Temple.

Behind him, he was carrying the first-grade puppet, floating in the wind...

Vajra Temple.

One of the Great Chu Kingdom Ten Great Temples.

Here, not only pilgrims come in an endless stream, but also many people from the world often stay.

After all, he is Ten Great Temples from the Great Chu Kingdom, and his reputation and prestige are naturally powerful in the entire world.

Compared with Nanhua Dao who are all scholars, Vajra Temple is more open.

More importantly, although Vajra Temple is one of Ten Great Temples, its purpose is different from other temples.

In the eyes of Vajra Temple, in addition to subduing demons and demons, there is only subduing demons and demons.

Apart from chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name every day, they were either fighting or on the way to fights.

All in all, this is a very tough temple, and this temple is very protective of its shortcomings.

A long time ago, a disciple of Vajra Temple went out and encountered a strange creature. After killing the strange creature, he was attacked by an unknown person and returned home seriously injured.

The next day, hundreds of strong monks walked out of the temple, searched all over the world, found the attacker, and beat him to death.

What other temples pay attention to is exactly what Vajra Temple does not need.

In the words of the current community leader, the world is not yet stable, so what is the use of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name?

Wouldn't it be nice to smooth over this troubled world with your fists first, and then go back to chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name? It is precisely because of this that Vajra Temple is very favored by the Great Chu Kingdom and is very close to the Great Chu Kingdom. Almost every disciple will go to Bureau of Surveillance for a visit and has made a lot of contributions during his tenure.

Today, Vajra Temple is different from the past. They refused the pilgrims and closed the temple door.

Even those Jianghu people were driven out by the Vajra Temple monks.

No one knows what happened, because after the temple door was closed, no one dared to come forward. After all, this temple has a name that is made with fists.

Xu Bai fell from the sky and landed just under the mountain peak where Vajra Temple was.

In this world, it doesn't mean that you can fly high just because you can fly. Some places are very particular about it. If you land in someone's mountain gate by flying, it will be considered a taboo.

After all, no one wants someone to fall from the sky from time to time at their mountain gate, so it is an unspoken rule to fall when approaching.

After falling, Xu Bai did not stay for too long and walked towards the location of Vajra Temple.

The mountain road is smooth and has stone stairs.

Perhaps for Jianghu people, these mountain roads are equivalent to flat ground, but for some ordinary pilgrims, if the mountain roads are too steep, it will be extremely difficult for them to walk, so these stone stairs are for ordinary pilgrims to walk.

Xu Bai was walking on the road very fast, but he also had doubts in his heart.

As one of Ten Great Temples, why is it that there is no one here and it seems so quiet?

It shouldn't be.

Even if there were no ordinary people, at least there were a few Jianghu people passing by, but no one was seen along the way, not even a dog.

Did something happen? With such a mood, Xu Bai continued to climb the stairs. After walking for nearly half an hour, he finally arrived outside a mountain gate.

At this moment, the mountain gate is closed tightly, and there are two monks guarding outside the mountain gate.

The two monks saw Xu Bai coming over. After looking at each other, one of them slowly walked out.

"Donor, Vajra Temple will not allow anyone to enter while the mountain gate is closed. Please come back."

The monks were polite, in fact, very polite when they were not fighting, or on the way to a fight.

Xu Bai looked the monk up and down and said, "I want to see Wu Hua."

He thought he could let him in after saying these words, but what he didn't expect was that the monk still shook his head.

"Donor, please wait a month before coming back."

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

This situation was unexpected. It seemed that his guess was right. Something big might have happened to Vajra Temple.

Just as he was thinking this, the next moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Xu Bai turned his head and looked behind him, and found dozens of monks, wearing different clothes from Vajra Temple monks, walking towards this side.
