Master Zhao Tie, a martial arts king, has started painting. His paintings are vivid and lifelike. In one of his works, a young man is depicted sweating profusely as he swings an axe to chop down a tree, giving the viewer a sense of being there in person.

  Su Dao Xing Chao painting on the wall.

  Suddenly, the axe in the painting flew out and chopped towards Su Daozhen.

  Su Dao Xing's hands were filled with spiritual energy, and his palms struck the axe, shattering the axe that had been transformed by true energy. He looked at Zhao Tie in surprise: "Your painting skills have actually reached the point of condensing true energy into objects, you can become a Wen Wang, and in the future, you will go further and further on the path of Wen Wang."

  Zhao Tie looked at the transmission stone and said: "Let's see how Su Shi responds."

  Su Dao woke up and went to the transmission stone, writing down what he had just seen. After a while, there was a response from Su Shi on the transmission stone, which said: "Su Shi says 'You can cultivate both literature and martial arts, it is recommended that you enter the Art Saint Institute, the Art Saint is a saint who cultivates both literature and martial arts, and can guide you to become a cultivator of both literature and martial arts'."

  "Thank you, Master Su." Zhao Tie bowed deeply to Su Dao and left with a spring in his step.

  Su Dao Xing saw no one else coming in for consultation, so he picked up a book from the bookshelf to read, and the whole day passed like this.

  He left the Ming Shi Tang and walked towards his residence.

  A dangerous aura surged forth like a venomous snake.

  Su Dao Xing immediately sensed danger, stopped in his tracks, and prepared for battle, looking towards a white-clad young man under the shade of a tree up ahead.

  That dangerous aura came from that young man in white clothes.

  "Master-level Martial King!" Su Dao Xing sensed the young man in white's cultivation.

  "Are you Su Dao Xing?" The young man in white clothes looked at Su Dao Xing with disdain, his expression full of arrogance.

  "Yes!" Su Dao Xing replied.

  The young man in white robes sneered, "You are now only a half-step Grandmaster. When you become a Grandmaster, I will engage in a life-and-death duel with you. Remember, my surname is Peng, Peng of Peng City, currently the Seventh Pulse Grandmaster."

  Having said that, the young man in white clothes floated away.

  "Someone from the Peng family." Su Dao had a conflict with the beloved daughter of the master of the Huqing Mansion and the Peng family, and later the master of the Peng family sent someone to assassinate him but failed, so Liangzi was implicated.

  The young man in white is Peng's genius disciple, studying at the Holy Institute, and must have been instructed by the master of the Peng family to prepare for killing Su Dao Xing at the Holy Institute.

  Su Dao Xing walked to his residence, looked at the white fox in the room and said: "White Fox, I have now become a substitute apprentice of the famous teacher Su Chang Mo. I can help you ask Teacher Su for methods to treat your injuries."

  The white fox fell silent for a moment before speaking: "Help me quietly ask ten questions. The first question is..."

  Su Dao Xing listened carefully and memorized it in his heart, then asked: "Bai Hu, as a reward, you must point out two places with spiritual veins for me."

  "Alright!" The white fox replied without hesitation, and then told Su Dao Xing the locations of the two spiritual veins.

  Su Dao Xing found a piece of Fog Spirit Vein in an abandoned lotus pond on the Holy Island, and found a piece of Ice Spirit Vein in a deserted rocky hill.

  He found a secluded cave and sat inside, grasping two spiritual veins and using his spiritual power to absorb them into his body.

  His body was like a starry sky, with meridians connecting to acupoints, and two spiritual meridians had already emitted spiritual light. Following that, the two meridians gradually became spiritualized, transforming into two spiritual meridians. His body now possessed four spiritual meridians, emitting dazzling spiritual luster.

  "Still three spiritual veins away from the Seven Spiritual Veins." Su Dao Xing muttered to himself, currently he had an enemy which was that white-clothed youth of the Peng family, he felt a life and death crisis, every moment thinking of ways to step into the Master Realm with more than seven spiritual veins, in order to defeat that white-clothed youth of the Peng family.

  Su Dao Xing went to Ming Shi Tang during the day to ghostwrite for Su Shi, occasionally inserting Bai Hu's questions among the students' questions and getting Su Shi's answers. He received the ghostwriting student's salary and went to Yao Ge to pack some wound-healing medicine for Bai Hu.

  Yaogei is a three-story wooden building with an antique flavor, emitting a strong fragrance of Chinese medicine.

  Su Dao woke up and arrived at the medicine pavilion, inquired about the placement of some herbs, went to the second floor, and wrapped the herbs needed for White Fox's injury with paper.

  "Huh? Su Shi's ghostwriter student." Bai Qian was picking medicine in the Medicine Pavilion when she ran into Su Dao Xing, her face flushing bright red.

  Su Dao Xing heard the voice and saw Bai Qian, holding a bundle of herbs, nodded his head and said: "Sister Bai."

  Bai Qian's murderous gaze stared at Su Dao Xing, saying: "You and I are strangers, we have never met before."

  Bai Qian turned her head and left.

  Su Dao Xing awkwardly smiled and wrapped up the herbs, then left the medicine pavilion.

  He returned home to decoct medicine for the white fox, and for several days in a row, he went to the famous teacher's hall to substitute writing during the day, and came back at night to decoct medicine for the white fox.

  On this day, the starry sky was dotted with stars, and the starlight shone like silver all over the holy island.

  After a day of exhaustion, Su Dao woke up and returned to the other courtyard, catching a whiff of a pungent smell. His brow furrowed as he rushed towards his small building, the stench growing thicker with each step closer. He hastily arrived at the room where the white fox resided, gazing at the white fox on the bed, his expression changing.

  The white fox's body is currently rotting and emitting a foul odor.

  "What happened?" Su Daoming anxiously asked.

  The white fox said coldly, "It's all the work of those old rascals from the Holy Institute. They must have guessed that I was hiding on the Holy Island to recover from my injuries, so they deliberately mixed some poisonous substances into the medicinal herbs. I got poisoned, my flesh rotted, and then my soul rotted, completely disappearing."

  "Heaven won't destroy me! With such a good body like yours, this demon can occupy your flesh and be reborn. Hahaha!" The white fox revealed a crazy big smile.

  A terrifying soul floated out of the rotting white fox and shot towards Su Daoming.

  Su Dao Xing San emitted a powerful will, and behind him condensed a sacred temple. The sacred temple emitted a sacred sound.

  The white fox's soul was about to devour Su Dao Xing's soul when the sacred sound of the holy temple burst forth like a fierce sun on the white fox's soul.

  Ah!

  The white fox's soul let out a mournful cry and was shattered into fragments by the holy sound.

  The statue inside the temple stretched out its hand and grabbed a piece of the white fox's soul into the temple.

  The next moment, in the holy temple of the forbidden area of Wanfo Temple, the soul of the white fox transformed into a young girl, looking at the statue with some trepidation.

  Su Dao Xing merged with the divine statue inside the Holy Temple, opened the statue's eyes and stared at the White Fox, saying: "White Fox, I saved you first, but I didn't expect you to have ulterior motives, actually wanting to seize my physical body. Fortunately, I had the protection of the Holy Temple, otherwise today would have fallen into your hands."

  The white fox spirit transformed into a girl said: "Victory or defeat is up to you, I'll follow your lead."

  She had an air of nonchalance, an attitude that put life and death beyond her concern.

  "Loneliness is the greatest torment to you." Su Dao Xing thought that the white fox transformed into a girl had been staying in the temple for years, accompanied by the temple and the statue of the god, and suddenly felt relieved.

  "Fool, won't I escape?" The girl walked out of the temple without being obstructed, laughing triumphantly as she sped away into the distance.

  When she walked out a certain distance from the holy temple, a divine power directly sucked her back into the realm shrouded by the holy temple.

  "Haha!" Su Dao Xing laughed mockingly as he saw the young girl unable to escape from the Five Finger Mountain of the Holy Temple.

  "Sudao Xing, I, Shen Yan Yu, will never coexist with you." The white fox transformed into a girl shouted loudly.

  Su Dao Xing's consciousness left the statue and returned to his physical body. He erased all traces of the white fox in the room, sprinkled some incense, and gradually the stench faded away until it disappeared.

  Su Dao Xing continued his daily life, going to the famous teacher's hall to copywriting during the day and returning home to cultivate at night. His progress was slower than before, but he didn't rush to become a Master-level Martial King. He would only consider advancing when the spiritual veins in his body reached seven or more, then he would face the life-and-death battle with Peng Family's White-clothed Young Master.

  Notices were posted on the bulletin boards of various islands: All students who have been in school for less than three months must complete a task issued by the Holy Institute to have the opportunity to enter the Holy Island Library.

  Inside the book pavilion, there are all kinds of books, which is the treasure house of Shengyuan. The students of Shengyuan have long been looking forward to entering the book pavilion. As soon as the announcement came out, it caused a sensation on the Holy Island.

  Su Dao Xing saw the announcement and had been yearning to enter the Book Pavilion for a long time, so he wouldn't miss this opportunity.

  "Sudao Xing." Fang Xueqin, Xu ZhiXiong, Tang Qingsong, Qi Qiguang walked towards the bulletin board.

  A monk teacher on Holy Island posted a notice on the bulletin board, with tasks issued by the Holy Institute written on each piece of paper.

  Tang Qingsong directly snatched a piece of paper and tore it off.

  In just a moment, the paper on the bulletin board was snatched up by the students.

  "Tang Qingsong, what task did you receive?" Qi Qiguang walked over and looked at the notice.

  "Head to Luohu Gang and kill a Master-level demonic tiger, you'll get the chance to enter the library. Requires five people to team up together and complete the task without anyone dying. Task completion time is three days. Students who complete the task must be below Half-Step Master realm, Masters are not allowed to participate or assist in completing this task."

  "It requires five people to team up and complete the task." Xu Zhi Xiong looked at Su Dao Xing, "Dao Xing, are you willing to join us in completing the task of the demon tiger?"

  "Good!" Su Dao Xing nodded in response.

  "We mustn't delay, let's set off now." Fang Xueqin led the way to the dock on one side of Sheng Island.

  Five people rented a small boat at the dock, and the boatman was a master-level martial king. The boatman drove the small boat, steadily bypassing island after island, sending the five to the edge of a crescent-shaped island.

  Five people climbed onto the small island and rushed towards its depths.

  "There are three patrolling demon tigers ahead." Su Dao Xing's senses were extremely strong and he immediately alerted his companions.

  Xu Zhi Xiong casually took out a painting, picked up a brush and dotted tiger eyes on it.

  Wow!

  Five black and powerful tigers leaped out of the painting and ran forward.

  Roar!

  A tiger's roar.

  The three patrolling demon tigers chased after those five true energy condensed, fake yet real fierce tigers.

  "Go!"

  The true energy condensed into a fierce tiger led away three patrolling demon tigers, Xu Zhi Xiong called out to the crowd and continued to rush towards the depths of the small island.
