Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Zuo Ruotong's words caused a huge uproar. The people sitting next to him could see that Zhang Zhiwei had clearly broken through the Reverse Life Triple Realm in one move.

The others, especially the younger generation, couldn't tell. But before they could even express their surprise, they started to suppress their laughter.

Lu Jin performed a simple backflip, stood up straight, lowered her head, looked up for a moment, tears streaming down her face, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"There are always people more skilled than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. It's not your fault, Senior Brother Zhang. It's alright, Grandpa, I didn't take it to heart at all, really!"

"Hahaha" *2

The others were somewhat hesitant, but Guan Shihua and Lü Ci let out the same barbell-like laughter.

"My darling, he was beaten up and cried, but he's still holding on! Hahahaha."

"I...I...I'll go change my clothes."

Lu Jin quickly changed his clothes and stood properly behind Old Master Lu.

Everyone thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Zuo Ruotong spoke up again.

"Master Shixing, why don't you spar with my disciple?"

Hinata Hoshino looked at Zuo Ruotong, somewhat puzzled. Why? Did he feel that his disciple hadn't been beaten to tears once enough?

"Yes, since Master Shixing is here, why not show us your skills and let everyone see what you've got?"

"Yes, yes."

Lu Ci's father and Wang Ai's father were egging him on from the side. Lu Jin wanted to say something, but his father interrupted him.

Hinata Hoshino found it amusing; he had been running around everywhere lately, and he didn't believe that the four major families wouldn't have received the news.

“Alright. However, since Young Master Lu has fought several battles, how about letting Young Master Lü and Young Master Wang spar with me?”

The heads of the Lü and Wang families looked rather grim. The Lü family was alright, as they still had Lü Ci and Lü Ren, but Wang Ai was still too young.

Hinata Hoshino stood up and patted his purple Taoist robe. Eight years had passed; a promotion was normal, after all, he was now the recognized next leader of Maoshan Sect.

With a single step, as if shrinking the distance to an inch, he appeared in the center of the open space.

"Greetings, young masters."

"Brother, don't stop me. I'm going to teach him a lesson and let him know that the Lü family is not to be trifled with."

"Master Shixing, please forgive my younger brother for his rudeness. As for the matter of exchanging skills, today is a joyous occasion for the Lu family, and we should not take the lead."

"It's alright. Since Master Shixing has such an interest, let us broaden our horizons."

Chapter 187 Ruyi Jin, Divine Paint

Lu Ren wanted to settle things peacefully, but his father didn't think so. Since someone had provoked them, they should naturally fight back.

Before Lü Ren's father could speak, Old Master Lu spoke first, acknowledging the sparring session on his behalf.

Hinata Hoshino smiled. It seemed that Lu Jin wasn't the only one crying today.

"I wonder who would like to step forward so that I may learn from them."

"I'll go first."

Wang Ai walked up to Hinata Hoshino, looking as if he were about to die a martyr, which moved Lü Ci somewhat.

"Fat..."

Hinata Hoshino looked at Wang Ai, put his index and middle fingers together, and used his sword-like fingers to cut off a few strands of hair. Small saplings sprouted from the ground and he cut off a branch.

A gentle breath transforms into a strong wind, smoothing the tree branch into a pen handle, with strands of hair inserted to serve as the pen tip.

Hyuga Hoshino's actions puzzled everyone until a calligraphy brush took shape. Hyuga Hoshino bit his finger and dipped it into the brush handle, instantly turning the Wang family head's expression ugly.

What does this mean? Everyone knows that the Wang family is of the same lineage as Shen Tu. Does this mean they want to compete with Wang Ai in painting?

"I have a secret technique here called Super Beast Imitation Painting. Please teach me."

In this world, no ink can compare to Kirin blood, and no hair can compare to Hyuga Hoshino's hair; therefore, this is a crushing defeat in terms of equipment.

"Please."

Wang Ai took out a brush, dipped it in special ink, and with a flick of his wrist, an ink snake appeared, hissing at Hyuga Hoshino. Hyuga Hoshino also wielded a brush, and a blood dragon, far larger than the ink snake, appeared, opening its mouth to swallow the ink snake.

Wang Ai was startled and frantically waved his brush, conjuring images of jackals, tigers, leopards, bears, snakes, lions, dogs, eagles, vultures, crows, cranes, sharks, crocodiles, whales, and eels.

It looks impressive, with land, sea, and air forces all included, but its strength remains to be seen.

Hinata Hoshino brandished his brush, and a blood-red Qilin appeared. To the astonishment of the Wang family patriarch, the blood-red Qilin roared to the sky, its voice deafening.

How could it be a painting so lifelike, even roaring? The head of the Wang family felt that even if one were to cultivate to an extremely high level as a divine painter or a secret painter, they might not be able to find a painting that could roar.

It's indeed very difficult to create a painting, but Yang Guifei's portrait is causing quite a stir in Japan. I wonder when it will return to Kyushu.

At that time, we can let the Wang family see what a portrait with a soul really is.

The crimson unicorn stomped its hoof, creating a crimson auspicious cloud beneath its feet, and charged towards the ink-like creature. In just one exchange, the ink-like creature was scattered, turning into ordinary ink droplets that fell to the ground.

"Tu" means to apply color. Therefore, the creatures painted by Wang Ai are formed by ink but lack spirit.

A painting, imbued with spirit, should capture both the spirit and the form, just as Ma Liang's magic brush brought the painting to life.

Ink continued to drip, and Hinata Hoshino noticed the dripping ink gradually filling a patch of empty ground beneath his feet. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his expression.

"Ink dots the landscape".

Drops of ink transform into a vast sea of ​​ink, containing the essence of the Four Symbols Seal.

Hinata Hoshino wrote the character "封" (seal) in the air with his brush, and countless inks were absorbed into it. It has to be said that he was quite capable to survive until that time.

Wang Ai stood there, panting heavily; he had done his best.

"In this round, the Wang family has lost."

Wang Ai, with her last breath, finished speaking and immediately fainted. The head of the Wang family then carried her away by the neck.

Hyuga Hoshino's gaze swept over the brothers Lü Ren and Lü Ci.

"Gentlemen, shall we come at once, or take turns?"

"Naturally..."

Lu Ren stopped Lu Ci. He knew that Lu Ci was no match for him. For the sake of the Lu family's reputation, he had to go alone, and he hoped that Lu Ci would not lose too badly.

"I will learn your profound skills from you, Master."

"It's Young Master Lü Ren. Interesting. Please."

The Lü family's Ruyi Jin allows one to control their Qi at will, enabling them to explore and attack from a distance. In a way, it is somewhat like a more flexible form of soft fist.

Hyuga Hoshino's body was surrounded by a flowing aura, which Lu Ren almost mistook for the Ruyi Jin (a type of internal energy), but upon closer inspection, he realized that there was a significant difference.

The version of Primordial Qi, the Peacock's Wonderful Method.

The tangible Qi transformed into the shape of a divine dragon and pounced on Lü Ren. The Qi around Lü Ren was arranged in a chaotic and disorderly manner, seemingly trying to interfere with Hyuga Hoshino's Peacock Mystic Technique.

As we all know, even the most powerful Qi techniques can easily dissipate if the balance within them is disrupted.

Lu Ren quickly felt disappointed, because his chaotic arrangement of Qi did not affect the approaching dragon.

He felt that the dragon that was about to approach him was like an extremely hard rock, and its aura was like a gentle breeze, which had no effect on the rock at all.

Lu Ren hurriedly altered the Qi, transforming it into needle-like shapes that pierced the dragon from all directions, hoping to break the Qi technique.

However, he was quickly disappointed, because the Qi needles shattered the moment they touched the divine dragon. Judging from Lü Ren's Qi reserves, he absolutely could not have transformed his own Qi into such a massive divine dragon, and given it such immense hardness.

So Lü Ren dodged without hesitation. As soon as Lü Ren dodged, the dragon suddenly crashed into his original spot, causing the ground to tremble slightly and leaving a crater about half a person's width wide.

"The Taoist priest said it was just a friendly spar, so please don't go too far."

"Don't worry, Old Master Lu. Today is a joyous occasion for the Lu family. I will not let any bloodshed happen here. We agreed to spar, so it will only be a spar. We will absolutely not harm our young master, Mr. Lü."

Old Master Lu was somewhat worried, but after hearing Hyuga Hoshino's assurance, he felt relieved. However, the expressions of the Wang family head and the Lü family head were beyond just ugly.

Hinata Hoshino's actions were tantamount to trampling on what both families were proud of.

Before going on stage, Lü Ren had already assessed the situation. Since he couldn't win anyway, he might as well stay a little longer. In this matter, it's all about comparison. As long as he lasts longer than Wang Ai, it's the Wang family that will lose face.

All I can say is, it's better to die for my fellow Daoist than for me.

Lu Ren dodged and weaved, constantly avoiding the attacks of Hyuga Hoshino and the Peacock Mystic Technique.

"I can hold out for another whole day. I wonder how long Young Master Lü can last?"

In Lü Ci's heart, he admired his elder brother Lü Ren the most. When he heard what Hyuga Hoshino said, he wished he could rush up and fight Hyuga Hoshino.

However, before Lü Ci could take more than a few steps, his father pressed down on his shoulder and gave him a look, causing Lü Ci to back down.

However, he still looked at the field with a worried expression. Lu Ren felt that each day was an eternity. As time passed by, Lu Ren felt that he could hold on longer than Wang Ai and was preparing to surrender.

Hinata Hoshino noticed Lu Ren's intentions and wanted to finish the battle with a single Thousand Years of Death. Surrender? Surrender was out of the question.

However, thinking about it, Lü Ren did die fighting against those Japanese.

"I think……"

Before he could even utter the word "lose," his innate Qi materialized and slapped him across the face, causing Lü Ren to immediately lose consciousness.

Chapter 188 The White Snake Who Steals a Man

The Ruyi Jin and Shen Tu techniques are said to be incredibly powerful, but Hyuga Hoshino, who has fought against them, found them to be just average.

However, considering that other extraordinary individuals, and even some others, are using the "Head-Shaking Move," I suddenly realized that this technique is truly a closely guarded secret and the foundation of one's livelihood.

To put it simply, Hyuga Hoshino was wielding a planet-destroying cannon, the Wang and Lü families were wielding flintlock pistols, while most of the superhumans were still at the stage of using sticks to tie stones together.

After the Lu family's birthday banquet ended, Hinata Hoshino returned to Maoshan, while Zheng Zibu was reluctant to go back, so he stayed at the Lu family's residence for the time being.

Hinata Hoshino suddenly didn't know how to face the Taoist priest among them.

What gift did you give as a congratulatory gift?

Hinata Hoshino: Deliver Zheng Zibu to Lu Jin.

Hinata Hoshino shuddered. Goodness.

Hinata Hoshino held a fishing rod with a pill as bait. Bamboo Leaf Green looked up at the pill, its pupils constricted, as if it were staring at prey, ready to hunt.

Bamboo Leaf Green jumped up, but Hinata Hoshino raised his fishing rod, causing her to miss perfectly. This happened several times, but Bamboo Leaf Green persisted. It was actually quite fun.
