Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 508 Harmony of Time
It rained for three days, intermittently, falling in a helpless manner.

The persistent dampness made even the days smell musty.

Ren Shaoyang has been in seclusion for three days, and his external injuries have almost completely healed. The knife wound on his chest and the palm print on his back have all disappeared.

His face was still a little pale, and he smelled strongly of medicine.

Hongxiu walked in carrying a bowl of medicine. She saw him standing by the window, dressed in white, looking at something with a blank stare in his eyes.

"Oh, stop overthinking it." The little beggar slammed the bowl on the table. "Drink your medicine first."

Ren Shaoyang shrank back, his nonchalant air completely vanished, and obediently took the bowl, raising it to drink it all.

"Ugh!" he grimaced. "This medicine of yours is horribly bitter!"

"It just works."

"That's incredibly effective."

Hongxiu glanced at him, went to the table, cleared away the medicine bowl, and snorted coldly, "It's good that it's bitter! It'll teach someone a lesson!"

Ren Shaoyang lowered his eyes and said timidly, "You're being too petty."

Hongxiu said coldly, "Let me tell you, I really want to kill someone right now, so don't mess with me!"

Ren Shaoyang remained silent for a while before saying, "Once I'm healed, I'll have a good fight with you."

"Hmph!" Hongxiu snorted coldly, holding her bowl, her tone full of arrogance. "Who cares?"

Ren Shaoyang chuckled and turned to look out the window.

Hongxiu seemed to sense his surging energy, stopped in her tracks, and asked in a sweet voice, "Crippled man, what are you looking at?"

“I’m not watching, I’m listening.”

"What are you listening to?"

"The sound of rain pattering on banana leaves."

"What?" Hongxiu was stunned. "Are you out of your mind?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled without saying a word, while the rain outside the window pattered noisily and erratically.

But if you listen carefully, you can distinguish the sounds of raindrops hitting the tiles, falling into the soil, and dripping into the puddles, each with its own unique sound, high and low, forming a complex and rhythmic pattern.

Close your eyes, and the Harmonious Law will operate on its own.

Ren Shaoyang's spiritual senses reached everywhere, perceiving everything without exception. His physical body seemed to cease to exist, and his spiritual senses permeated the world, like a shimmering feather, drifting and flying freely.

In that instant, he felt as if his entire body was immersed in hot water, warm and comforting, with his vital energy flowing into the tips of his hairs, making each hair seem to float up.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ren Shaoyang's mind, and he abruptly opened his eyes!
"I understand!"

"Oh my god!" Hongxiu was startled. "Are you trying to kill yourself? Why are you so jumpy?"

Ren Shaoyang grimaced as the pain aggravated his wound, but couldn't hide his excitement: "I've always wanted to use my own rules to govern all others, but in the end, there's still a hint of revision involved."

"That's normal," Hongxiu said, puzzled. "From mastering oneself to mastering heaven and earth, all martial artists follow this path!"

“No, this is not my path!” Ren Shaoyang shook his head and said, “If I always try to force all things to obey, I will eventually fall into a lower realm and go against harmony.”

Hongxiu tilted her head and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "We're on the same wavelength."

"Same frequency?" Hongxiu muttered, "How do we match frequencies?"

Ren Shaoyang slowly raised his hand, his fingers outstretched, as he faced the continuous rain outside the window.

At that moment, he thought of the "Zhou Tian Liu Huo Gong" used by the leader, the kind of great power that allows one person to rule the world, just like a marshal sitting in the central army, with orders obeyed and no one able to win.

"To rule the heavens and earth and attain supernatural powers?" Ren Shaoyang chuckled. "Then why don't I 'seek the rhythm of heaven and earth and resonate with the celestial music of all things'?"

Instead of trying to control it, I completely immersed myself in it.

Suddenly, the Yang Qiao Meridian throbbed, and the true Qi of the Harmonious Heavenly Law within the body, as if guided by a spirit, flowed on its own, following an unprecedented path and suddenly merging into the Yin Qiao Meridian.

Consciousness spreads out like a spider web, following the trajectory of each raindrop, sensing the most primal "rhythm" they carry.

Tick-tock, patter, splash.
At first, there was a cacophony of noises, a chaotic and unbearable sound.

Gradually, Ren Shaoyang's gaze softened, and the noise in his heart returned to its place, like scattered pearls being strung together by invisible threads.

He heard it.

I heard the wind whistling through the raindrops; that was the "rhythm of the wind."

I heard the gentle dripping of rain from the eaves; that was the "rhythm of water."

They could even hear the slow, powerful beating of the hearts of countless creatures within a ten-mile radius in their chests—that was the "rhythm of life."

The myriad patterns are diverse, each with its own unique characteristics.

Since the music of nature is so beautiful, why not compose a piece called "Double Tone Technique" for them and for the world?
With this thought in mind, Ren Shaoyang smiled, his outstretched fingers like a musician tuning a string, gently "plucking" it.

"Om~!"

The rain outside the window seemed to freeze for a moment.

It wasn't being held up by true energy, but rather its own natural downward "rhythm" was forcibly "delayed" by half a beat by Ren Shaoyang! "Harmony of Timing."

Ren Shaoyang laughed heartily, his body moving like a whirlwind, dancing wildly. Every wave of his hand and every step he took was perfectly in accordance with the laws of nature.

Stirring the strings of heaven and earth, playing music for all things in the world.

A wondrous sight appeared in the sky. Ren Shaoyang casually fixed a spot in the rain curtain, and almost at the same time, raindrops in another spot accelerated their fall, "whoosh whoosh whoosh" as they crashed into the mud.

One slow, one fast; one still, one moving.

The once seamless rain curtain seemed to have been drawn with a clear boundary by an invisible hand.

Hongxiu saw it clearly, her almond-shaped eyes widening: "This..."

Ren Shaoyang's forehead was covered in a fine sweat, and his chest heaved violently. Clearly, this seemingly light movement had been a great burden for him.

But he was smiling.

"Found it! This is the 'Dual-Sound Technique'!"

It's not about controlling, but about regulating. It's not about dominating, but about guiding.

Using one's own mind as a tuning fork, one can strike the inherent frequency of all things, allowing them to undergo incredible changes through the collision of their rhythms.

Delaying the rain or accelerating its arrival is just a small test.

If one can truly master the art, one can abruptly halt an opponent's lightning-fast movements, cause their protective aura to disintegrate on its own, and annihilate their powerful palm strikes through rhythmic misalignment.

His thoughts drifted, if he were to practice to the extreme...
For example, when your opponent is urinating, suddenly make him pull back.

When urinating, also shrink
what!
That's so evil, so disgusting!

This kind of influence on time and space can also be called the Harmony of Time!
Ren Shaoyang seemed to see a completely new path to martial arts unfolding before his eyes.

"cough cough"

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck, and the man in white couldn't help but cough, yet a smile still lingered on his lips.

"Damn it, if I figure out this technique, even if the champion is the strongest, I can still make him lose face!"

Seeing that he was coughing so badly, Hongxiu quickly went over to pat his back and soothe him, feeling both distressed and annoyed: "Wuwuwu! You're almost dying from coughing!"

Ren Shaoyang, having caught his breath, chuckled and said, "Little beggar, you're done!"

"What do you mean, 'accomplish'?!" Hongxiu said irritably. "Let's heal your injuries first! Guan Yu's 'Love That Shatters the City' is easy to solve, but the force of the leader's palm strike is still inside you!"

Ren Shaoyang chuckled softly: "Do you think it's good or bad?"

"Need I say more?" Hongxiu rolled her eyes at him. "This palm strike contains eight extraordinary forces: wind, fire, thunder, lightning, heaven, earth, mountain, and water. An ordinary person would be turned to ashes upon contact. What do you say?"

"That's great!" Ren Shaoyang said with a grin. "I can cross the river by touching the leader's foot and use his 'Zhou Tian Liu Huo Gong' to hone my 'Shuang Yin Jue'."

Hongxiu glared at her, rolled up her sleeves, and shouted, "You cripple, are you looking for a beating? Your injury hasn't healed yet, and you're already courting death!"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "Little beggar, I'm a little afraid of you when your real body is here, but you're just a clone that 'transforms from qi,' so you can't beat me!"

"Hmph!" Hongxiu snorted coldly, "You actually found out?"

Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick bolt of lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the world. Ren Shaoyang's shadow appeared, but the little beggar opposite him had no shadow.

The little beggar shouted, "Crippled man, take this!" and suddenly spread her five fingers wide.

Suddenly a strong wind arose, and a powerful force descended from the sky, drawing raindrops slanting into the window, thousands upon thousands of them shooting in like steel balls and iron bullets.

"Life is but a fleeting dream!" Ren Shaoyang smiled leisurely. "It's not on the other shore."

Before he finished speaking, his entire body, from his hair to his clothes, suddenly blurred, as if he were invisible and intangible, unaffected by the light rain.

"Shhhhhh!"

The rain, having lost its target, then rained down on the little beggar.

Wow, that's impressive!

The little beggar clenched his fist and swung it, reflecting thousands of raindrops back.

This punch, unleashing the power of heaven and earth, far surpasses any hidden weapon or arrow.

Suddenly, Ren Shaoyang burst into loud laughter, followed by a rumble of thunder and a flash of white lightning.

Just then, the little beggar realized that his whole body had stopped for a moment.

A large hand gently patted his head.

Ren Shaoyang appeared behind her and laughed, "I'm very capable, why would I do anything reckless!"

Hongxiu glared at him, then angrily shoved the medicine bowl into his arms: "Hmph, wash it yourself!"

puff!
The woman in red with a round face vanished in a flash, disappearing like a bubble, leaving only a faint wisp of crimson smoke.

Ren Shaoyang, holding the medicine bowl, chuckled and said, "Wu Wudi's 'Ten Directions Annihilation'?"

"But it looks like a 'shadow clone' no matter how you look at it!"
