Five Years Later

Storing away the Transformation Pill, Zuzong took out the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" manual. The manual was ancient, with the four characters "Nine Yang Divine Skill" written on the cover, still stained with traces of blood—evidently from the white ape's abdominal cavity.

Zuzong's mouth curled into a smile. Finally, he had his own cultivation technique.

Opening the first page, "Hmm, I understand it. I understand every word! It truly is divine skill!"

Summary:

*Mastering the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" will cleanse the body's tendons and marrow; one will emit a purple aura; internal force (soul power) will be generated at an extremely fast pace, boundless and inexhaustible. Ordinary punches and kicks can unleash immense power; its defensive power is unmatched, providing automatic body protection and repelling external attacks, resulting in an invulnerable body. 

Practitioners will gain a significant speed boost; it's also a holy healing technique, preventing all illnesses and poisons. When fully unleashed, the yang heat can incinerate people to ashes, effectively countering all cold and yin-toxic internal forces.

The "Nine Yang Divine Skill" is a comprehensive martial arts system. Once mastered, all martial arts under heaven become accessible. This technique also includes abilities like the Bone-Shrinking Skill, Turtle Breathing Skill, and Wall-Crawling Skill.*

"I already know the technique to attach soul power to surfaces. Walking on water, trees, and walls feels like walking on flat ground, so the Wall-Crawling Skill isn't of much use. But the Bone-Shrinking and Turtle Breathing Skills are good—they can be life-saving."

Turning to the second page, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Still understandable."

Turning to the third page, the smile gradually froze.

Half an hour later, Zuzong tossed the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" manual to the ground, exclaiming, "Damn it, I recognize every word, but why can't I make sense of it when they're put together? Can someone tell me how those transmigrators immediately understand the manuals they get their hands on?"

[Ding! My foolish host! The "Nine Yang Divine Skill" is a top-tier technique from a low-level world. You just need to spend 5,000 Hate Points to master it.]

"Wow, you deceitful system, channelling Uchiha Itachii! And don't use such a disgusting tone to talk to me; I'm not Sasuke."

[Ding! Congratulations on spending 5,000 Hate Points to fully understand the Nine Yang Divine Skill.]

The "Nine Yang Divine Skill" manual on the ground transformed into a white speck the size of a grain of rice and instantly flew into Zuzong's forehead. In an instant, Zuzong's head felt like it was about to explode as memories flooded his mind.

The pain came quickly and went quickly. In just a few moments, Zuzong had memorized the complete cultivation method for the "Nine Yang Divine Skill."

Five Years Later.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was located on a large mountain outside the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

It was noon, and under the blazing sunlight, there was not a single cloud in the sky and no wind. Whether it was the lake at the foot of the mountain or the towering vegetation-covered mountain, everything appeared lifeless and sluggish.

At the foot of the mountain, two young people arrived—a boy and a girl who both looked to be in their teens.

The boy, dressed in luxurious attire, seemed to be around twelve or thirteen years old, standing over 1.7 meters tall and wearing a black outfit with a flaming fan emblem on the back. His long silver-blue hair hung down to his shoulders. His skin was fair, and he had a handsome face, though he looked somewhat unhappy at the moment. Every time the girl beside him got close, he appeared impatient. Nevertheless, his unique aura still attracted the attention of many girls who had come to enroll.

The girl also appeared extraordinary, with her long black hair styled into a neat scorpion braid, extending down past her calves. She was slightly shorter than the boy and wore a pink short-sleeved long shirt that tightly wrapped around her already developing figure. Although her chest was not yet fully developed, her slender waist, almost too slim to grip, would certainly make countless women envious.

Because the weather was too hot, the girl originally wanted to wear lighter clothes but was firmly opposed by the boy.

His reason was: Girls, once you gain a little weight, you're eager to wear revealing clothes. Are you trying to entice crime?

Since then, the girl had not thought of wearing light clothes again—reason being: afraid her "boyfriend" (self-appointed) would get jealous.

Her slender and firm legs were wrapped in white pants, perfectly proportioned. Though she looked young, with a still slightly childish face, her rounded and perky buttocks already had some charm.

Her naturally curved eyebrows, large watery eyes, and slightly round pink cheeks made her not only pretty but also gave her a playful aura, as if the words "cute" were tailor-made for her.

Yet, standing next to the boy, her brilliance was still overshadowed.

The girl half-slouched on the boy's shoulder, using her other hand to wipe the slight sweat on her forehead, and said weakly, "So tired! How much farther? We've been traveling for several days. I don't get why you want to attend this broken noble academy. I've heard it's full of spoiled brats, all show and no substance, who love flaunting their family's power. Be careful not to get backstabbed."

The boy shot her a glance and replied, "I didn't ask you, little rabbit, to come along! That so-called master named Yu Xiaogang has invited you to Shrek Academy several times, hasn't he? And also, stop using me as an air conditioner!"

The girl rolled her eyes back at him, "He also wanted to take you as a disciple! Yet you ignored him. You're so heartless; I'm doing this for you. Who made you Grandpa Tom's favorite? You're practically my brother. Anyway, the exam isn't until the day after tomorrow. I don't care—you have to take me to Heaven Dou City to play for two days to heal my wounded little heart. And I'm not a rabbit anymore! And besides, you're warm in winter and cool in summer. I envy your constitution. Xiao Zong, this afternoon we should go—"

This boy and girl were Zuzong and Xiao Wu, who had come to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to enroll in the Advanced Spirit Master Academy.

Speaking of how Xiao Wu came to recognize old Tom as her grandfather, that started from the first vacation at Nuoding Academy.

Zuzong naturally had to return to Emperor Spirit Village. After all, old Tom had raised him alone. Now, old Tom was getting older and had no relatives except for Zuzong. One could say Zuzong was his only concern.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu insisted on coming along. The moment she entered Emperor Spirit Village, it was as if she had changed completely, transforming from a tomboy into a proper lady.

Old Tom was overjoyed to see Zuzong returning with a "little girlfriend" after just one year.

He warmly welcomed Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu knew how to read the room and acted as if she was naturally close to him, calling him "Grandpa Tom" repeatedly, which made old Tom beam with joy.

Upon learning that Xiao Wu was an orphan, they tacitly agreed for old Tom to recognize Xiao Wu as his granddaughter.

Zuzong, standing on the side, twitched the corners of his mouth, his head full of black lines, thinking, "Grandpa Tom, this rabbit is tens of thousands of years older than your grandpa's grandpa!"

Before they left, old Tom even gave Xiao Wu some gifts and shot Zuzong a look that seemed to say, "I gave her gifts, you little rascal; you better do the same, or I'll beat you with my cane!"

That time, Zuzong's Transformation Pill was extorted by Xiao Wu. After consuming the pill, Xiao Wu's rabbit ears disappeared, and she not only completely got rid of the influence of the spirit beast's juvenile form but also became a full-fledged human. 

Her talent surged, second only to the dual martial soul-bearing, "Nine Yang Divine Skill" cultivating Zuzong. As for her hundred-thousand-year cultivation, it was gone and would have to be cultivated again.

Xiao Wu dared to come with Zuzong to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, which had a Soul Douluo guarding it, only after realising this.
