Wang Ye undoubtedly grasped this point, but Zhou Sheng didn't think he was qualified.
The ancients divided five days into a "hou" (候), and the seventy-two "hou" corresponded to the number of a year, which is the number of the cycle of the heavens.
After mastering the Feng Hou Qi Men method, one can grasp the various changes of the seventy-two pentads, which means mastering the changes of the universe. This allows one to reach the realm of "transforming oneself into a king," enabling one to transform into any naturally occurring and nurtured creature. The seventy-two transformations here represent the transformation into any creature of the universe.
In other words, if one truly masters Feng Hou Qi Men, one should be able to transform in countless ways, just like Zhou Sheng often transforms into a sparrow and hovers around Wudang Mountain, sometimes observing Wang Ye, his successor.
Zhou Sheng's transformation skill is many times stronger than Quanxing's Domain Poison. Even Luke is itching to try it. After all, what man could resist the same skill as the Great Sage?
However, unlike the other eight extraordinary skills, Feng Hou Qi Men is too dangerous to cultivate. No matter how good one's talent is, if one is not suitable, one may become trapped in the inner world after just one glance at the Feng Hou Diagram.
As the sect leader of the Shuzi Sect, Chen Jinkui naturally possessed a talent for magic, and a very good one at that, but even he couldn't withstand the power of the Feng Hou Tu.
Several senior figures from Wudang Mountain came from the War of Resistance against Japan. Their life cultivation was so strong that there were few in the entire world of supernatural beings. Didn't they also suffer from qi deviation and be unable to extricate themselves?
To put it bluntly, this thing is all about mindset. You need not be greedy or addicted. Luke knows himself very well. His cultivation level is high enough, but he still really wants the ever-changing abilities that Zhou Sheng has shown. That's greed, and Luke doesn't want to take that kind of risk.
Furthermore, with the Misty Space around, who knows when you might synchronize with a version of yourself from a fantasy or even mythological world? Then you'll have endless variations, so why take the risk?
"If I remember correctly, isn't your next match yours, Sayan?"
After comforting Zhuge Bai, who had stopped crying and started laughing, Luke suddenly turned to Feng Shayan and said...
Feng Shayan raised her head and said excitedly, "That's right, I hope my opponent won't disappoint me."
Luke's lips twitched. If he remembered correctly, Feng Shayan's next opponent was a white-haired guy from Longhu Mountain. As an opponent, his strength would certainly not disappoint Feng Shayan. However, it might be a bit difficult for Feng Shayan to defeat him.
"Zhang Lingyu and Feng Shayan, please come to the stage."
Longhu Mountain is Zhang Lingyu's home turf, so he naturally went on stage early. Now all eyes are on Feng Shayan, and even Feng Zhenghao has come over, pushing up his glasses and saying.
"Shayan, you are no match for Master Lingyu. Know when to quit while you're ahead and admit defeat at the right time."
Sometimes Feng Zhenghao is frighteningly rational; he can even plan the next move for his own children like pieces on a chessboard.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Feng Zhenghao is a person without feelings.
In fact, both his children and his ex-wives acknowledge that Feng Zhenghao is a good father and a good husband. However, it is precisely because Feng Zhenghao arranges everything so meticulously and considers everything so thoroughly that people feel they can never escape his control. This is why his ex-wives separated from him. After all, in an equal relationship, no one can tolerate being the one being arranged and controlled, just like a child powerless to resist their parents' arrangements.
Feng Shayan's expression dimmed for a moment, and she was about to nod when she suddenly heard Luke encourage her.
"Shayan, once you get down there, just do your best and don't hold back. With me here, Zhang Lingyu can't hurt you."
The reason Feng Zhenghao made Feng Shayan admit defeat when she needed to wasn't because he had any special schemes, but because he knew his daughter was no match for Zhang Lingyu.
But Feng Shayan is stubborn and will not admit defeat until the very last moment. If she is forced to use ruthless methods, it will be Feng Shayan who gets hurt.
So Feng Zhenghao said this simply because he didn't want his daughter to get hurt; it's just that his consistent way of doing things was unacceptable to Feng Shayan.
Chapter 72: One Person's Story: Zhang Lingyu VS Feng Shayan
However, in Luke's opinion, Feng Shayan didn't need to have any scruples. She could just show herself to the fullest and didn't need to care about winning or losing, because that was not important at all. What was important was that she could gain something.
Moreover, with him around, how could Zhang Lingyu possibly harm Feng Shayan?
Feng Shayan's eyes lit up, while Feng Zhenghao frowned, about to say something, when he suddenly saw Luke turn to look at him and say something indifferently.
"It's all up to her to choose, isn't it, Uncle Feng?"
Feng Zhenghao was taken aback, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm too old to argue with you. Do whatever you want!"
A smile finally bloomed on Feng Shayan's face. With a somersault, she landed on the field in an extremely graceful manner.
Feng Shayan's figure was like a light feather, drawing an elegant arc in the air, and finally landing steadily in a breathtakingly beautiful posture.
Her feet lightly touched the ground, as if she had some mysterious understanding with the earth, instantly dissipating all the impact of the fall, appearing calm and composed.
The moment she landed, time seemed to freeze, and the surrounding air trembled.
The audience held their breath, their eyes fixed on her, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Feng Shayan's eyes shone with a determined light, like two bright stars illuminating the entire arena.
Her hair danced in the air like black ribbons, swaying gently with her movements, adding to her grace and beauty. Once on the ground, Feng Shayan resembled a fairy descended to earth, radiating an irresistible charm.
Looking at Zhang Lingyu in front of her, Feng Shayan cupped her hands and said, "Master Lingyu, we meet again."
Zhang Lingyu bowed slightly and said, "Miss Feng, it's been a long time."
The two met when Zhang Chulan had just revealed his identity. However, at that time, Zhang Lingyu was invited by the Old Celestial Master to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. Of course, Zhang Lingyu's attitude towards Zhang Chulan was not very good at that time.
Feng Shayan and her sister Feng Yaya kidnapped Zhang Chulan from his dormitory, intending to take him to the World Society to meet Feng Zhenghao. The two met unexpectedly. Although they did not fight at the time, Zhang Lingyu's Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic left a very deep impression on Feng Shayan.
Luke leaned on the railing, curled his lip, and said disdainfully, "This white-haired guy isn't very strong, has some issues with his character, but he's quite good at pretending."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhenghao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he asked with a smile.
"Xiao Lu, what do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with Master Lingyu's character?"
Luke didn't hide anything and answered him directly: "Zhang Lingyu cultivates the Yin Five Thunder Technique, which is turbid and dark. This kid is a stubborn one. He always believes that he couldn't control himself back then and lost his virginity, which is why he can't cultivate the clear and bright Yang Five Thunder Technique. He can't get over this mental hurdle, so he can't fully utilize the Yin Five Thunder Technique. He can't accept himself now and even hates himself now. He has a demon in his heart."
Feng Zhenghao suddenly realized, but his face remained expressionless. He knew the difference between Yin Five Thunder Technique and Yang Five Thunder Technique, but he did not know that Zhang Lingyu was actually practicing Yin Five Thunder Technique. After all, he had never seen Zhang Lingyu make a move. This must be a secret of Longhu Mountain.
Although he was puzzled as to how Luke knew about this, Feng Zhenghao did not ask.
It's true that Luke is pursuing his daughter, and it's natural that he has a good relationship with the World Society. However, this is not an excuse for him to pry into other people's secrets. If Feng Zhenghao couldn't handle this kind of situation well, the World Society wouldn't have reached its current scale.
"Master Lingyu, I apologize for the offense."
Facing a formidable foe, Feng Shayan showed no mercy. Her Hundred Steps Divine Fist pierced through the void and appeared in front of Zhang Lingyu in the next moment, smashing towards his handsome face.
Feng Shayan's innate ability is spatial teleportation; without moving herself, her attacks can travel through space to strike her enemies.
"boom!"
A golden light flashed from Zhang Lingyu's body, blocking Feng Shayan's fist that had come from afar. The Golden Light Spell was both offensive and defensive, and it combined cultivation of body and mind. Zhang Lingyu had put a lot of effort into it, so blocking a fist was more than enough for him.
But besides long-range attacks, Feng Shayan's most outstanding feature is speed. In the next moment, countless fist shadows pierced through space and smashed towards Zhang Lingyu.
Zhang Lingyu remained standing in place, radiating golden light, like a burning golden flame, dazzling and eye-catching.
“It’s all fancy.”
Luke pursed his lips and complained again. Although he had only had a brief encounter with the Old Master's Golden Light Mantra yesterday, seeing Zhang Lingyu's Golden Light Mantra again today made him feel utterly bored.
Although Zhang Lingyu's Golden Light Mantra was dazzling enough, its quality was far inferior.
In the end, the Golden Light Mantra is nothing more than a ritual incantation for cultivating one's life force. Whether the golden light is dazzling or not is not important. What matters is the strength of one's life force cultivation. The so-called golden light is merely an external manifestation of one's life force cultivation, a byproduct.
Just as Luke was making his comments, Zhang Lingyu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the Qi within his body surged. The Golden Light Mantra took form from the Qi, transforming into a giant golden hand, which slammed towards Feng Shayan with the force of a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.
The golden palm blotted out the sky, and the wind howled as if it were tearing the air apart.
Feng Shayan was startled, but she remained calm. Her figure moved like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
However, a huge handprint was left on the spot, deeply engraved into the ground, raising dust and demonstrating the immense power of the attack.
Logically speaking, spatial abilities are best suited for escaping, but unfortunately, Feng Shayan's spatial teleportation cannot allow her to teleport herself, or rather, her ability is not yet fully developed. If she were to teleport her body, who knows what accidents might happen? She might even be cut in half at the waist. Being able to teleport her own fist is already the maximum Feng Shayan can do at the moment. She cannot use the real spatial teleportation technique unless it is a matter of life and death, because that would be gambling with her life.
This is just a competition, and although Feng Shayan is eager to win, she wouldn't take such a risk.
Feng Shayan braced herself with one hand on the ground, like a tigress pouncing on her prey, and ran towards Zhang Lingyu at an extremely fast speed. When she arrived in front of Zhang Lingyu, she swung her fist to throw a punch, but the fist appeared behind Zhang Lingyu and smashed into the back of his head.
Zhang Lingyu had anticipated this, but Feng Shayan's fists were too unpredictable, making it impossible to track their trajectory. Zhang Lingyu didn't have time to activate the Golden Light Mantra and could only respond with his fists and feet. Fortunately, fists and feet were also one of the basic skills of Longhu Mountain.
Chapter 73: One Person's Story: The Most Yang Yin Five Thunders
Feng Shayan's punches were like a raging storm, each punch carrying the strangeness and speed of spatial traversal, leaving Zhang Lingyu unable to keep up.
He moved swiftly across the field, trying to find a weakness in Feng Shayan, but Feng Shayan was like a cunning cheetah, always managing to evade his attacks at crucial moments.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Feng Shayan's heavy punch struck Zhang Lingyu's protective golden light once again. The golden light trembled slightly but did not shatter.
Zhang Lingyu was secretly amazed; Feng Shayan's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.
He took a deep breath, his internal energy surged, and the Golden Light Mantra intensified, transforming into a golden light screen that firmly protected him.
At the same time, he stomped his feet on the ground, his body leaping up like a tiger descending a mountain, and pounced towards Feng Shayan.
Seeing this, Feng Shayan curled her lips into a cold smile, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot, reappearing behind Zhang Lingyu.
She threw a punch, the wind from which cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
Zhang Lingyu spun around quickly, barely dodging the attack. But Feng Shayan's attacks came wave after wave, like an endless tide.
He could only rely on his profound cultivation and superb agility to keep moving around.
On the field, the two figures clashed rapidly, their punches whistling through the air, golden light flashing.
The audience watched intently, secretly holding their breath for the two of them.
An indomitable light shone in Feng Shayan's eyes; she would never give up easily.
No matter how strong Zhang Lingyu is, she will fight with all her might to the very end!
His competitive nature was one aspect, but more importantly, he wanted to prove to Feng Zhenghao that he was not weak, and that even if the opponent was Zhang Lingyu, he still had the strength to fight back.
"Master Lingyu, aren't you going to use your thunder magic? If you don't, you won't be able to beat me."
Knowing her own strengths, Feng Shayan discovered that Zhang Lingyu's martial arts skills were also quite good after trying close combat. She decisively chose to become a mobile artillery platform, launching ranged attacks while also provoking him.
Although she had seen the thunder magic of Longhu Mountain before, she still wanted to test its power.
Zhang Lingyu was enveloped in golden light, which greatly amplified his strength, speed, and defense. He remained unmoved in the face of Feng Shayan's provocation and simply said calmly.
"The power of lightning is too great; it's not suitable for Miss Feng 々々."
These words, though seemingly polite, actually implied that Feng Shayan was not yet capable of making him use lightning magic, and how could Feng Shayan, with her fiery temper, possibly tolerate it?
Of course, given Zhang Lingyu's straightforward nature, it certainly wasn't intentional; he simply felt he was telling the truth.
The old celestial master on the platform shook his head, sighed, and said, "Alas, Lingyu is still too upright. I really don't know how he lost his virginity. Apart from his appearance, I really can't see what makes him attractive to girls."
The old master was unaware that it was precisely people like Zhang Lingyu who attracted girls' attention. Just look at his female fans on stage; for them, good looks were the ultimate justice.
"Haha, senior brother, you can ask Lingyu. But I think Lingyu is a good kid. He's honest and has the style of Longhu Mountain."
Tian Jinzhong, who was standing to the side, laughed and said.
The old celestial master glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Honest? It's nothing more than superficial honesty. You don't even dare to face yourself, so how can you talk about honesty?"
His Longhu Mountain style isn't genuine; Zhang Chulan is the true inheritor of Longhu Mountain's teachings. I don't know how that big-eared thief Huaiyi taught him. In this life, I've surpassed him in strength, but in teaching the younger generation, I've been surpassed by that big-eared thief.
