Chapter 365: Chapter 158: Bestowing Titles and Honors, Mystic Turtle’s Wish Fulfilled_2

Everyone was somewhat envious.

"Red Dragon Power" was derived from the Emperor’s Martial Arts "Red Dragon Suppressing Nine Provinces", a skill of the Dharma Form level, similar in type to the first three moves of the Yuwen Family’s "White Tiger Seven Kills". Cultivators could circulate their Inner Qi, simulate the Divine Charm within the secret techniques, and deploy battle methods similar to Dharma Forms.

Although it was impossible to compare with the Dharma Forms of Yuwen Lie’s White Tiger and Yue Qianfeng’s Red Dragon.

Only by deploying secret techniques could Martial Arts express this Divine Charm.

Yet it was a peerless secret technique in its own right.

In terms of rank, it was even more precious than the absolute techniques like "Wave-Rolling" and "Mountain Shattering".

Moreover, once one mastered the Divine Charm carried within the martial skill, as long as one achieved a sufficient realm, they were enough to condense their own spiritual will into the Red Dragon Form. At that time, one truly became a top expert, and the vast world would be accessible everywhere.

The old man lightly pressed his finger against Li Guanyi’s brow, and the words of the "Red Dragon Power" appeared in Li Guanyi’s mind. This time, the Red Dragon Power was even more concise and pure compared to what had been imparted by Brother Yue.

Yue Qianfeng had already carved his own path on the foundation of the initial Red Dragon Power, unmatched in step-battle with profound and robust cultivation. However, it also affected his "Red Dragon Power", losing its purity. At this moment, Li Guanyi finally received the purest "Red Dragon Power".

Li Guanyi was slightly moved inside and, clasping his hands, said,

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, but I’m afraid I may not be able to cultivate the Red Dragon Dharma Form."

Ji Yanzhong was slightly taken aback, then reassured him, "With your talent, the future is yet unknown."

Emperor Chen smiled lightly, "Uncle Emperor, Qin Wu, the County Knight, is a descendant of General Xue. General Xue, known as the White Tiger God General, once dominated the realm with his invincibility five hundred years ago. As a scion of the Xue Family, what he learns are the Xue Family’s Battle Halberd and archery. One day, he will surely walk the path of the White Tiger Dharma Form."

Ji Yanzhong sighed.

If he had cultivated the Red Dragon Dharma Form, there might still be a slight possibility of awakening the Chi Xiao Sword.

The possibility with the White Tiger Dharma Form, however, was decidedly nonexistent.

The old man felt regret but still earnestly advised,

"Dharma Forms are condensed from spiritual will, and each path is unique. To walk the path of the White Tiger’s slashing and killing, that is the path of a general, indeed it cannot be mixed with Red Dragon Power."

"However, cultivating the Martial Path of Red Dragon Power could aid you, and that is also its wonderful aspect."

"You must diligently cultivate."

Li Guanyi responded, "Yes."

Thus, when he returned to the ground, the entire Zhou Liuying erupted in joy, hoisting Li Guanyi aloft, laughing and cheering, before seating him on their shoulders and parading him around the Martial Arts Arena, exuding high spirits and vigor.

Zhou Liu Ying ran to the civil officials, disregarding that his arm was still wrapped like a sticky rice dumpling.

He rubbed his face and gently patted it: "Well, my red robe has come back, what about it?"

"What about your red robes?"

The civil officials and the sons of the aristocratic families turned pale with anger.

Zhou Liuying laughed heartily as he left, feeling utterly exhilarated. With the grand contest two days away, Li Guanyi and the young military officers of the Imperial Guard celebrated at a tavern before returning to the Xue Family, resting briefly before heading to the Book Collection Pavilion.

Li Guanyi closed his eyes and focused, introspecting himself. The Red Dragon Dharma Form slowly moved around him.

The Scale Armor seemed to change with flickering firelight as the Red Dragon coiled, its head resting in Li Guanyi’s arms. The young man reached out and gently touched the Dragon Scale, which felt slightly hot. After coming into contact with the Divine Weapon’s Divine Charm, it seemed that the Red Dragon Dharma Form had also changed, gaining a sense of reality.

His vertical pupils flickered with strands of golden light.

Yet it had not entirely transformed.

It was still in an intermediate state, not as direct as the White Tiger Dharma Form.

Li Guanyi noticed that within his Dantian, there seemed to be an additional sword shadow, the lingering presence of the Chi Xiao Sword, which carried the Mysterious Energy. From this sword shadow, he could sense the cheers of people.

But it was not complete.

Not only was it incomplete, it was downright fragmentary.

Li Guanyi knew that to acquire a completely whole sword shadow, he must come into contact with the Chi Xiao Sword, and it must be a surreptitious contact. This seemed to confirm what Li Guanyi had said about going to find it.

The young man grinned, incredulous: "So crafty?"

"Does the nature of a Divine Weapon also relate to its master?"

"The Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd is domineering and carries a hint of malevolence."

"The Chi Xiao Sword, bold and cunning."

After Li Guanyi said he would seek it, Chi Xiao immediately gave him half of an inheritance.

The rest?

"Come find it and then we’ll talk."

Li Guanyi couldn’t help but smile wryly, suddenly sensing a presence outside. He opened his eyes, stabilized his Inner Qi, and walked out slowly, leaning against a pillar. He watched the doorway where the rustling of trees gave way to the appearance of a foot clad in a white embroidered shoe, stepping onto the ground.

Then as leaves fluttered, a young woman leapt out like a lively deer.

Her skirt fluttered incredulously, lifting and falling. Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Miss, why have you come?"

The young woman grumbled, "This is the Xue Family after all, sort of my home!"

"Why can’t I come back?"

She slightly lifted her skirt hem, and then, as before, lightly kicked the young man’s leg.

Then she raised her eyebrows, her demeanor as easy and composed as before, yet with a hint of pride:

"How about that?"

Seeing the young woman with her hair up like clouds and a complex yet noble hair accessory, her fluttering skirt, draped ribbons on her arms, slender waist, dangling jade pendants and rings, and her hands crossed in front of her belly with a proud bearing, she was dressed in the ceremonial court dress of county lords, commandery princesses, and princesses.

Although the Miss was only of county lord rank, she was exceptionally treated as a commandery princess.
