Seeing the change in Hua Youyue's expression, Ning Wuque smiled slightly, looked at Hua Youyue, and said nothing more.
Hua Youyue's expression became increasingly calm, but even Mo Xueling beside her could sense that Hua Youyue was actually emanating a faint murderous intent.
" Ning Wuque, we failed to take your life in the last battle, so you'd better not act recklessly!"
Ning Wuque shuddered, seemingly in disbelief, and looked at Hua Youyue with astonishment. "You want to kill me?"
Hua Youyue didn't speak again. She turned and glanced at Yang Zhen, who was looking bored in the crowd. A smile flashed across her face as she said, "He's different from you!"
Ning Wuque looked at Hua Youyue with a solemn expression, then suddenly a bright smile, like a chrysanthemum, bloomed on his face. "You are different from others. You are the most outstanding woman I have ever seen, without exception. You have actually raised your cultivation to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Wandering Realm in such a short time. I'm afraid that if I give you some more time, you will surpass me."
Hua Youyue nodded and said, "Surpassing you is not my goal!"
"So what is your goal?" Ning Wuque asked in surprise.
"My goal is not to fall too far behind him!" Hua Youyue said calmly, which surprised everyone around her.
Everyone, including all the experts from Ink Pool Peak and North Maiden Academy, even several Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts, looked at Yang Zhen with surprise.
Ning Wuque suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Yang Zhen and saying, "I don't understand. He's just a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, not even qualified to enter the North Maiden Academy. Why do you value him so much?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xueling looked up at Ning Wuque, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face.
Before coming to the Spirit Learning Palace, they had met Ning Wuque once. Upon first meeting Celestial Person, Ning Wuque Hua Youyue's beauty and wanted to get to know her. Unexpectedly, the two of them got into a fight over a single word. Although it was only a brief exchange, their fighting spirit was fully unleashed, and no one could determine a winner.
Ning Wuque seems unwilling to give up, and has even taken his anger out on Yang Zhen. In Mo Xueling's view, Yang Zhen is truly innocent, and Ning Wuque for Yang Zhen has made Mo Xueling somewhat disappointed in Ning Wuque.
Just as Hua Youyue said, Yang Zhen is truly different from a genius like Ning Wuque.
Most importantly, in terms of talent, even Mo Xueling had never seen anyone stronger than Yang Zhen. However, Yang Zhen seemed to be too indifferent to cultivation, which surprised Mo Xueling. If Yang Zhen were wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, even Mo Xueling could not imagine how extraordinary Yang Zhen talent would be.
"You'd better not underestimate him, or you'll be in big trouble."
Ning Wuque looked at Mo Xueling with a strange expression and said in a deep voice, "Even you think highly of him, so you two are indeed old acquaintances."
At this point, Ning Wuque suddenly burst into laughter, turned to Hua Youyue, and said, "You shouldn't have done that, you shouldn't have embarrassed me, Ning Wuque, like this. I, Ning Wuque, have never been Qi Ingestion by anyone. Today, I want to see what Yang Dingtian has that makes you two value him so much!"
After saying this, Ning Wuque laughed heartily, stepped out of the crowd, and addressed the old palace master in the main seat. "Old palace master, I am Ning Wuque, and I have a gift to present to you!"
Upon hearing Ning Wuque 'Ning Wuque words, everyone gasped and turned their gazes to him.
"I didn't expect it to be Ning Wuque from the North Maiden Academy; he actually came out now."
" Ning Wuque literature and martial arts. I heard that he received the Master's True Disciple as soon as he joined the North Maiden Academy, and he has already stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. It is said that once he breaks through the Tribulation Transcending stage, he will receive the Master's personal protection."
"What?!" The crowd was shocked, staring incredulously at the young man with the feather fan and silk turban before them. They exclaimed in astonishment, "To have the Master personally protect us? Could it be that the Heavenly Tribulation we're about to face is no ordinary Heavenly Tribulation?"
"That remains to be seen. In any case, now that Ning Wuque has stepped forward, it's likely that no one will offer gifts in public anymore."
"Why?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Is there even a question? Ning Wuque represents the North Maiden Academy; how could anyone compare to what he brings out?"
"Hiss, that's terrifying!"
A group of people were discussing animatedly, all craning their necks to look at Ning Wuque Ning Wuque. Ning Wuque stood alone in the middle of the crowd, showing no fear whatsoever. On the contrary, he was full of vigor and high spirits. He gently fanned himself with a feather fan, and with a buzzing sound, an ancient picture suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The ancient map was incredibly lifelike. As it slowly unfolded, an ancient and rustic aura wafted out. It was brimming with Literary Talent Qi, and countless Heaven and Earth Inscriptions shone brightly. The dazzling light caused everyone who saw it to gasp in astonishment.
"This... this is..."
The old palace master suddenly stood up and involuntarily took two steps forward, saying excitedly, "This is the Half-Mountain Painting! It's actually the Half-Mountain Painting! I never imagined that I, an old woman, would be able to witness its splendor in my Half-Mountain Painting!"
What?
Everyone was shocked and stared at Ning Wuque in disbelief. No one had expected that the gift Ning Wuque was going to give would be the Half-Mountain Painting.
"What is the Half-Mountain Painting? Why do I feel such immense pressure?" someone asked, looking around in confusion.
Immediately, someone nearby offered an explanation, saying, "The legendary Half-Mountain Painting is a secret treasure from the ancient times, and it is a completely natural creation. It is said that only the legendary Mountains and Rivers Painting, which has not appeared in the world for ten thousand years, can surpass it."
A powerful cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm beside him nodded and said in a deep voice, " The Half-Mountain Painting appears, but there are no more mountains!"
"What does that mean?" Yang Zhen leaned closer to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert and asked curiously, "Sounds pretty awesome!"
The Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert glanced at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, but didn't look down on this Void Refinement Realm cultivator dressed as a cook. He nodded and explained, " The Half-Mountain Painting contains mountain inscriptions, which can condense into mountains in mid-air to attack enemies. It's extremely powerful."
Yang Zhen suddenly realized and exclaimed, "It's just a bit of a pity, this Half-Mountain Painting seems to be damaged."
"What?" The Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said, "Stop talking nonsense. How could the North Maiden Academy possibly offer something incomplete as a blessing..."
Before the Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert could finish speaking, the old palace master suddenly sighed and said tremblingly, "It's just a pity that this Half-Mountain Painting is incomplete. If I'm not mistaken, this should only be half of the half- Half-Mountain Painting, right?"
Ning Wuque smiled and said, "Old Palace Master has a good eye. When I obtained it by chance, I didn't even realize it was only half of it. It was only under the Master's tutelage that I learned it was only half."
"Half is good enough, half is good enough!" The old palace master looked at Ning Wuque with a smile, and said with great satisfaction, "Young friend Ning, you are very kind. This old woman likes this Half-Mountain Painting very much, and will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"
Ning Wuque smiled modestly and said, "You are too kind, Elder Palace Master. I have long heard that you appreciate calligraphy and painting. I wished to present this ' Half-Mountain Painting' to you so that it might gather dust in my hands. I dare not ask for anything in return."
"Good, good, very good!" The old palace master nodded with a smile, seemingly more and more satisfied with Ning Wuque: "I'm afraid nothing could excite this old woman so much today."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, looking at Ning Wuque with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. With the old palace master's words, Ning Wuque the most eye-catching today.
To everyone's surprise, Ning Wuque shook his head in full view of everyone and said to the old palace master, "Old palace master, although the Half-Mountain Painting is good, it is ultimately an incomplete work. Among the people present today, there is one who has won the favor of both Ink Pool Peak's successor Spirit Maiden Mo, and the Heaven-Defying Spirit Maiden Hua. Perhaps he has an even better gift to give to the old palace master!"
boom--!
Upon hearing Ning Wuque's words, everyone present was shocked, looking around in disbelief, searching for the person Ning Wuque who could simultaneously win the favor of two spirit maidens.
The old palace master's expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "Is this true? Who is this person?"
When Ning Wuque's gaze fell on Yang Zhen, everyone was dumbfounded. Yang Zhen was also looking around, as if the person Ning Wuque was talking about wasn't him.
For a moment, everyone was astonished!
