The ice wall was still the same, but in Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes, he had already begun to treat the white dots as the constellations in the Illustration of All Creation.

He began to link up the messy techniques like they were constellations.

Then..

What was in front of him was a gigantic painting!

Was he right?

.

Fang Zhengzhi did not know, neither did he want to know. A thousand people can interpret one thing a thousand ways, why must there be a right way? All he needed to know was his own interpretation.

As such, Fang Zhengzhi began to join the dots based on his own hypothesis.

Slowly, a picture began to form.

It did look like a battlefield, which was what Yan Xiu said, but...

It looked like it was following one person.

Actually, it looked like a wrecked picture. The places with other people were deliberately hidden. As such, this picture recorded one person’s actions on the battlefield, and this person was killing his way around the battlefield with the various techniques.

"These are..."

Fang Zhengzhi was rather curious, even though this looks like a battlefield, the various poses looked like patterns.

No!

This was not a battlefield!

All of a sudden, Fang Zhengzhi had an impression that this was a set of techniques. The battlefield was used to show the technique in action, and when and how to fully exploit each technique...

This was a technique manual for battle.

But, who was the person in the pictures?

Why would it be a tattered picture?

What did the complete picture look like?

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea, but he remembered everything, soaking up the information like a sponge. He would remember them first, then filter the techniques accordingly after.

As he remembered, he began to imitate and practice the techniques in his mind.

At this point, Yan Xiu also stood up. Then, he began drawing with his fan in his hand, his expression ecstatic.

"Did he realize it too?"

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to ask, but Yan Xiu was extremely absorbed. It would not be wise to break his concentration now.

Sometimes, enlightenment strikes in that moment. Furthermore, what we understand on our own is much more suited for us than something others teach us.

Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi did not know if he was right.What if I’m wrong?

As he thought about it, Fang Zhengzhi also found another place to practice.

...

The opening. Of the Heavenly Treasure Hall lasted six hours outside, but that translated to three days inside.

Chi Hou sat quietly on a wide wooden bench outside. He looked at the sky and judged that it was about time. Then, he glanced at his servants.

Some of his maids began to prepare.

Based on Chi Hou;s standing, there was no need for him to wait for Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu to come out. He could wait in his study for Fang Zhengzhi to come thank him.

But for some reason...

Chi Hou had a feeling that if he really sat in his study, then, it was likely that Fang Zhengzhi would not show up at all.

"He’s in the Heavenly Reflection State? Did he attain it some time back? Or did he breakthrough in the Heavenly Treasure Hall?" Chi Hou had countless questions.

Of course, the most important thing...

He wanted to confirm Fang Zhengzhi’s true ability.

...

Before Long, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu sauntered out of the crack side by side. They glanced at the maids standing around, as well as the purple robed Chi Hou.

"Hmm? Are you preparing the maids for your advances?" Fang ZHengzhi hated it when Chi Hou did this. At the very least, shouldn’t he be more subtle about it?

Then, should he show his disgust? Or should he accept it?

"Fang Zhengzhi, take this!’

Whilst Fang Zhengzhi was feeling conflicted, Chi Hou had already attacked.

"..." Fang Zhengzhi was speechless, "Can I have a cup of tea first?"

In actual fact, before he had come out, he had thought about many things. He had wondered if people would lead him to Chi Hou to show his thanks, or would he be given a place to rest.

But...

Never would he expect that he would be forced to fight, and with Chi Hou no less?!

How vert exciting! Chi Hou was clearly toying with him. For f*cks sake, what level are you, and what level am I? This is a little too much, even for bullies...

So what if I can’t win?

I can’t possibly be a punching bag.

As such, Fang Zhengzhi thought of running, but, he quickly squashed this idea as it surfaced. When Chi Hou attacked, his maids attacked as well.

However, they were different from Chi Hou, they fired off steel nets, black, glossy, steel nets.

The black steel nets hovered over Fang Zhengzhi’s head. Chi Hou was trapped inside the net too as he charged towards Fang Zhengzhi.

At this point, Yan Xiu looked up at the steel nets and the charging Chi Hou. Then, he calmly retreated behind Fang Zhengzhi.

"..."

This was the first time he saw Yan Xiu retreat. Furthermore, Yan Xiu had retreated in such a decisive manner. Fang Zhengzhi was sad, but frustrated.

"Let’s go!"

Fang Zhengzhi grit his teeth. Running was out of the option, and his helper was not gonna help him. Then, the decision was simple, fight it out.

He attacked.

However...

Fang Zhengzhi’s body did not appear where Chi Hou thought it would. Instead, Fang Zhengzhi had charged towards his hands/

This action confused the maids by the side.

Is he courting death?

Just as the maids were thinking about this, Chi Hou’s eyes brightened and his lips broke out in a subtle smile.

He did not retract his slap. Instead, his palm turned to claws as he grabbed at Fang Zhengzhi’s throat. It was quick as lightning, but, there was no glow.

No accidents...

Fang Zhengzhi was caught, but, he was not grabbed by his throat. Instead, Chi Hou had gotten the shoulder.

At the most crucial moment, he had shifted his body slightly. This was the Wind Shadow Technique taught to him by Yan Xiu. However, even with this technique, he barely managed to dodge Chi Hou’s grab on his throat.

Chi Hou was slightly stunned. He knew that Fang Zhengzhi was betting on the fact that he was not going for the kill.

However, he never expected Fang Zhengzhi to dodge his grab on the throat.

"The Yan Wind Shadow Technique?"

"Master Hou is Indeed knowledgeable and powerful. However, your win is ungentlemanly. You used a sneak attack, I did not even manage to use the Fang 13 Rod superior technique!"

"Fang 13 Rod superior technique? So... you need a rod?"

"Yes!"

"Maid, get a rod over here!" Chi Hou let go of Fang Zhengzhi and waved to his maid.

After he felt the grip on his shoulder loosen, Fang Zhengzhi smiled. Then, the smile disappeared almost immediately. His expression immediately became stern.

"Master Hou, I just came out from the treasure hall. I found a piece of treasure, but I don’t know what it is. I was hoping you could explain it to me?" Fang Zhengzhi searched himself as he asked.

"Mm, take it out for me to see!" Chi Hou listened and nodded.

This was quite the reasonable request. Many of the powerful disciples have asked him for advice. After all, the things inside there were collected by the Divine Constabulary over the years.

Then, Chi Hou saw Fang Zhengzhi retrieve a small cloth bag.

This fella does treasure his things, and he looks quite serious?

Just as he was thinking, he saw Fang Zhengzhi’s hand turn over. The small cloth bag opened and a grey black powder flew towards his face.

Chi Hou did not know what this was. However, he still managed to reach. He advanced, a ray of light flashing in front of him. The powder like substance fell to the ground.

"Nice try, how dare you attack me!" Chi Hou bellowed and grabbed at Fang Zhengzhi’s throat again.
