Chapter Thirty-Four: Disguise Ring (Part Two)

  Zhou Weiqing was secretly shocked in his heart, because Tang Xian said that every point was correct. After using the Dark Attribute once, it indeed needed ten seconds of adjustment to be used again. This wasn't a matter of how much Heavenly Energy one had, but rather that after releasing the Dark Attribute once, there would always need to be some time for recovery.

  "Tang Xian continued, 'Ten seconds may seem short to you now, but when your powers grow stronger in the future, those brief ten seconds can be the deciding factor between life and death dozens of times over. The more control-type skills you have, the more they'll complement each other, and the greater your initiative will be when facing an enemy. Only by controlling your opponent can you easily kill them off. No matter how strong your opponent is, if they're always under your control in front of you, they won't even have a chance to fight back. Moreover, the stronger a Tianzhu master is, the stronger their defensive capabilities will be. If you just control and attack once, it's hard to kill them off instantly. In such cases, you'll need to use continuous control. Remember, no companion is as reliable as yourself. Never entrust your life to someone else's hands. If you want to become a strong master, then first and foremost, you must learn to rely on yourself.'"

  "Control yourself." Zhou Weiqi repeated these four words, and suddenly he felt as if a new window had been opened in his mind. "Control yourself", these four words sounded simple, but seemed to contain countless mysteries.

  Tang Xuan suddenly raised his hand, and a ray of bird light shot towards Zhou Weiqing. Zhou Weiqing subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, and saw that a ring with a completely black body had fallen into his own hand. Upon closer inspection, the ring was pure black all over, without any luster, and from its surface, not even half a hint of abnormality could be seen.

  Tang Xian's eyes were filled with tender affection as he stroked Shangguan Bing'er's long hair. "Little Chubby, this fake engagement ring is my dowry for Bing'er. Put it on the ring finger of your left hand. Once you infuse it with Heavenly Energy, you can choose to disguise that Stone Cat Eye into any gemstone that matches the attributes of your body."

  Zhou Weiqing was overjoyed, this thing might not be of much use to others, but for him it was absolutely a treasure. Not only could it avoid the trouble of being discovered by the Stone Cat's Eye, but also when the opponent confirmed his attribute, he could use other attributes to attack the enemy and achieve an unexpected effect. It was as if it were tailor-made for him.

  "Aunt, no, mom, since you're giving this dowry to Bing'er, then I won't be polite." Zhou Weiqing happily put the ring directly on his left hand's ring finger. Official Ice's pretty face turned red as she hugged her mother's arm and gently twisted her body.

  Tian Xian smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Pang, remember that if one day I find out you're not loyal to Bing Er, I'll take back this ring and your life."

  Although she said it with a smile, Zhou Weiqing instantly felt a chill run down his spine and was speechless.

  Tang Xian said: "You guys talk for a bit, I'll go back to my room first." After saying that, she gave Zhou Weiqing a deep and meaningful look before turning around and entering the house.

  Tang Xian'er suddenly felt much more at ease. In three strides, he ran to Shangguan Bing'er's side and swept her up in his arms. Shangguan Bing'er cried out, "Quickly put me down, Mother will see!"

  "Ha ha, since mom has already figured out our relationship, there's no need to hide it. Come on, let your husband give you a kiss."

  Shangguan Bing'er raised her hand to block his whistle. "Don't make a fuss, Xiao Pang, let me lean on you for a while, okay?"

  Zhou Weiqing was stunned for a moment, his gaze also softened as he put her down, gently embracing her. He told her everything that had happened to him in the palace and his thoughts without reservation. "You won't marry the princess, can you get past the Emperor and General Zhou?" Shangguan Bing'er's beautiful face furrowed, her eyes clearly showing a few hints of worry.

  Zhou Weiqing said in a low voice, "Ice, don't worry. I will do my best to make contributions to the Empire, no matter what, I won't marry Empress Fei Ya. I like you, not just because you are prettier than her, but also because you are kinder than her. In my heart, you are perfect. Ice, I love you." Shangguan Xue'er's long eyelashes trembled, and she tightened her grip on Zhou Weiqing's hand.

  Zhou Weiqing stayed here for two hours, and reluctantly left. Before leaving, he gave the space ring to Shangguan Xue'er, because she would be traveling alone to the Fei Li Empire in a few months, and with Da Huang and Er Huang protecting her, he could rest assured.

  After leaving the Shangguan family, Zhou Weiqing returned home to bid farewell to his mother, packed his bags, and set off with his Black Calf Bow towards the Fei Li Empire.

  Zhou Weiqing's current cultivation was now far beyond what it used to be. Except for the Heavenly Bow City, all eleven of his fully opened Death Acupoints were operating at full capacity, with eleven whirlpools greedily absorbing the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy from the air to replenish himself. He charged into the Starry Forest, choosing the nearest path to rush forward. His current self had already broken through six acupoints in the Undying Warrior's second chapter.

  The second part of the Undying Divine Art, the death points on the back and waist. There are a total of eight acupoints, and Zhou Weiqing has currently broken through: the Fei Shu point located one and a half inches beside the third thoracic vertebra, the Jue Yin Shu point located one and a half inches below the fourth thoracic vertebra, the Xin Shu point located one and a half inches beside the fifth thoracic vertebra, the Shen Shu point located one and a half inches beside the second lumbar vertebra, the location between the second and third lumbar vertebrae

  Mingmen acupoint is located beside the second lumbar vertebra, three inches away from the spine. Next to it is the Zhishi acupoint, also known as Mingmen's neighbor, three inches away. Compared to the five deadly acupoints in the first article, the ones in this second article are even more fatal. Each one can instantly put a person on the brink of death. In two years' time, Zhou Weiqing seemed to have broken through quickly, and his heavenly power cultivation was catching up with Shangguan Fei'er's. However, every time he broke through a deadly acupoint, it was a narrow escape from death. The pain was so unbearable that he wanted to die at times, and the torture made him feel like he was dying. Fortunately, every time he charged forward, Shangguan Fei'er was by his side. When he was breaking through Mingmen acupoint, the intense pain almost made him bite off his tongue. It was Shangguan Fei'er who inserted her arm into his mouth, and to this day, there is still a scar on her arm from his teeth marks.

  The simplicity of the Undying Divine Art's cultivation and the suffering it endures are directly proportional, but its effects are also extremely evident. With eleven death points operating simultaneously, Zhou Weiqing's current cultivation speed is now unknowingly faster than before. Although the volume of Heavenly Energy within his body has become increasingly massive, his cultivation speed hasn't slowed down in the least. The greatest benefit lies in the recovery speed of Heavenly Energy; in terms of using skills during battle, he is no longer inferior to his teacher Mu En, whose Heavenly Energy cultivation had reached the fifth stage of the Heavenly God Stage. It's easy to imagine just how enormous the effects of this Undying Divine Art are.

  Moreover, as the number of acupoints that were opened increased, his Undead Godly Aegis's defensive effect also strengthened. The whirlwind released from eleven acupoints was naturally much denser than the one released from five acupoints before, and it was completely self-generated. As long as there was an attack on him, it would immediately take effect to defend against it. Ordinary arrows couldn't even think about breaking through this layer of Aegis defense that was contained in his skin.

  "Fat Cat, I'm telling you, have you grown bigger? Let's go with your master!" Zhou Weiqing said as he rushed through the forest, pinching the little white tiger's ear who was comfortably lying in his arms.

  "Mmm." Fat Cat hummed twice, not even bothering to open her eyes, still looking very comfortable.

  Wu Wei Qing couldn't help but get angry. "You little thing, you can clearly grow bigger, and now that there's no one else around, why don't you hurry up and serve your master me? For over two years, you've been eating my food and drinking my drink, and I even let you sleep with me every day. And yet you still dare to ignore me? Do you believe I'll beat you up? Look at Da Huang and Er Huang, they can both be used as mounts, but you're not even as good as them."

  As soon as he heard this, Fat Cat suddenly opened his eyes and let out two angry growls, as if to say, "You're actually comparing me to those two stupid bears?"

  Zhou Weiqing had no choice but to accept it, since that time when this thing saved him and the others, it never grew bigger again. It was as if it didn't eat or drink anything, and its body remained the same, only its fur became more shiny and transparent over time. Moreover, Zhou Weiqing had completely gotten used to having it by his side, often teasing it, which brought him great joy. Seventh Heaven, Fei Diao City.

  At full speed, Zhou Weiqing had once again arrived at this city. When he first entered the Tian Bow Camp, he and Huyan Aobo exchanged letters to inform his teacher of his situation, lest Huyan Aobo think that he was still in the military camp getting into trouble. Upon entering Fei Diao City, Zhou Weiqing directly found the small courtyard where Huyan Aobo resided. Before he could even knock on the door, a loud and boisterous laughter suddenly came from inside.

  "Haha, haha, I've finally succeeded after two years of effort! Who says only a Master-level Shaper can create additional inlay holes? Didn't I just do it too? Wahahaha, if I weren't a Heaven's Jewel Master, I would have become a Master-level Shaper long ago!"

  "Old man Huyan, did you really succeed?" Another voice was also excitedly asking.

  "Ah! After exhausting two years of time, I finally succeeded. This thing is more troublesome to make than a Condensing Scroll."

  Zhou Weiqing knocked on the door a few times, thinking to himself that this Master Huyan was really something else, being so excited. A two-year-old Condensing Scroll? That's some good stuff! Is it prepared for me? Heh heh. "Didn't you see the sign at the door?" Master Huyan's somewhat impatient voice came from inside.

  Mu Yuqing only saw that on the side of the courtyard gate, a small sign was hung, which read: "No purchase of condensed scrolls." "Teacher Hu Yan, it's me, Zhou Weiqing." Helpless, he could only shout loudly.

  It's strange to say, but as soon as he called out, the inside suddenly became quiet. After a few seconds, the courtyard door creaked open, revealing the astonished faces of Hu Yan Ao Bo and Feng Yu. Hu Yan Ao Bo looked at him with a flicker in his eyes, "Kid, can you really calculate?"
