Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

Tang Yan never dreamed that her sister would suddenly turn against her.

No, strictly speaking, it was an attack on Chen You, but she is currently inside Chen You's body.

Tang Youran moved with lightning speed, her jade-like hand bypassing Tang Yan's defenses as if threading a needle, and directly grasping her pulse point!

In a panic, Tang Yan hastily struck out with her palm. The two palms collided with a loud "boom," and Tang Yan was forced back three steps, her blood surging.

Before Tang Yan could regain her footing, Tang Youran launched another attack, her palms flashing like a net, the fierce wind making it hard to breathe.

Tang Yan gritted her teeth and unleashed the orthodox Tang family martial arts in an attempt to defend herself, but Tang Youran frowned as soon as she began her move.

"How could Chen You know the Tang family's secret technique!"

Tang Youran snorted coldly, and the next moment, Tang Youran saw through her flaw at a glance and flicked her wrist with a finger.

Tang Yan's arm went numb, and her move instantly fell apart.

Tang Youran moved forward like a ghost, her slender fingers already stopping an inch in front of Tang Yan's throat, the strong wind making Tang Yan's hair fly wildly.

In just three moves, the real Tang Yan was completely defeated, her face deathly pale, unable to move!

Tang Youran withdrew her finger, looking down at the 'Chen You' in front of her with eyes so cold they seemed to freeze over.

Chen You quickly came over: "Sister, calm down!! This is my good friend."

"Hello friend? Hmph!! Why don't you mention my Tang family's ultimate technique, the Acupuncture Point Technique?"

"this…………"

Chen You was stunned.

You can tell from that.

"Sister, Chen You is a good young man. He saved my life before!" Chen You said quickly.

"Oh? He saved your life?" Tang Youran turned her head to look.

Chen You nodded repeatedly: "It really is my sister. I was captured by the Cheng family of the Hundred Refinement Armory before, and thanks to Chen You for saving me, otherwise, I would have died for sure."

"So, to repay him, you taught him my Tang Clan's ultimate technique, the Acupuncture Technique?"

"Yes."

"I see." Tang Youran's expression softened. "I was just testing you. Your strength is too weak!"

Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and, mimicking Chen You's gesture, cupped her hands and said, "Miss Tang, thank you for showing mercy."

"You should thank my sister; if it weren't for her, you'd be dead by now."

Chen You was speechless, looking at her body with heartache, and wanted to ask, "Did I do something to upset you?"

"Alright, I'll go feed the horses. They're too weak to walk today, so we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning," Chen You said hurriedly.

The salt gang members had already left the place where the carriages were parked.

Chen You's black horse had been tied up in the woods for two days and two nights without eating a single grain of rice. At this moment, it drooped its head and looked extremely weak.

Seeing this, Chen You felt a pang of sympathy and quickly fetched a bucket of cool spring water and a bundle of fresh hay to carefully feed the animal.

After finishing all this, it was getting dark, and night enveloped the entire mountain forest.

He set up a fire in the open space, skillfully took out dry firewood to start a fire, and prepared to roast some dried meat to fill his stomach.

Just as the flames started to flare up, Tang Yan suddenly rushed over and nudged Chen You's shoulder.

"What is it?" Chen You asked, turning his head.

Tang Yan didn't speak immediately, but instead raised her slender finger and pointed to the sky.

Chen You looked up following her finger and saw a bright, dazzling full moon that had risen above the trees, its bright light bathing the earth.

Chen You's heart skipped a beat: Full Moon!

This means I can switch back to my original body!

"We can switch back to our bodies later!" Tang Yan couldn't hide her excitement as she whispered, "My sister's resting in the tent right now, she can't pay attention to us. Let's go, let's use this excuse to go find some firewood!"

"Okay, let's go." Chen You quickly stood up.

The two walked one after the other, naturally heading into the deep mountains and dense forests.

After walking a sufficient distance and confirming that there was no one else around, they arrived at a secluded canyon gully.

Chen You quickly took out the glowing mirror from his pocket.

Tang Yan then took out the Mother Mirror.

As the full moon's light shone on the mirror, its brilliance intensified, and the two people's consciousnesses were instantly drawn in by a mysterious force...

After a moment, the dizziness subsided, and Chen You breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling his familiar and strong male body, he finally felt completely at ease.

"Phew, finally it's back..."

Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tang Yan, how should we distribute these mother and child mirrors?" Chen You asked.

Tang Yan had previously told him that the Mother-Child Mirror was something she planned to use to save her mother.

However, it was later discovered that the so-called rejuvenation of the mother-child mirror was actually a soul swap!

Imagine if an old man's soul were swapped into the body of another old man, wouldn't that be like being young again?

However, this thing has a drawback.

That means two people who have swapped souls. When one of them dies, both of them will die!

Therefore, while the so-called rejuvenation is true, it cannot make people live longer.

Each person's lifespan remains fixed.

Knowing this, Tang Yan sighed, "Chen You, let's forget it. My mother is sick, and using the Mother-Child Mirror won't be of much use, because if her physical body dies, something will happen to her too!"

Chen You was also aware of this.

"Chen You, I have a favor to ask!" Tang Yan said.

"Please speak."

"Your blessing seems very powerful; I wonder if it can cure my mother's illness!"

Chen You spoke frankly: "My blessings can only heal simple injuries; it's more difficult to treat complex and difficult-to-treat illnesses! But I can try."

"Alright, let's each keep our own mother-child mirrors so we can communicate remotely later. I'll bring my mother to find you!"

"Okay." Chen You nodded.

"What are you two talking about? You're being so sneaky. Are you hiding something from me?"

Just as the two of them put the mother-child mirror into their arms, a cold, light laugh came from the treetops behind them!

Tang Youran silently floated down from the tree, her red dress resembling a blooming blood lotus in the moonlight.

Chen You was startled, her heart pounding.

Tang Yan's face paled slightly, and she exclaimed, "Sister! You...how did you get here?"

"I saw you two sneaking into this deep forest one after the other, so naturally I had to come and check it out." Tang Youran narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her sharp gaze sweeping over the two of them, and said leisurely, "What...are you trying to do?"

Tang Yan felt guilty and quickly forced a stiff smile as she explained, "I just... I just came to collect some firewood for a fire."

"Do I need to go this far to collect firewood? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who's easy to fool?" Tang Youran crossed her arms, not believing her nonsense at all.

"No way, sis, I..." Tang Yan was momentarily speechless, looking at Chen You in a flustered manner, "We really were just chatting here."

"Hmph, chatting?" Tang Youran's lips curled into a dangerous smile, her gaze landing precisely on the two of them at their chests. "Then why did I see you two hiding something in your clothes just now? What good stuff was it? Take it out and let your older sister see it too!"

"Sister, no..."

"You're not listening?" Tang Youran narrowed her eyes.

"Miss Tang, you can't force a man to stay with you, can you?"

Tang Youran sneered, "Who do you think you are? If you utter another word, I'll kill you!!"

"Sister, calm down!" Tang Yan quickly said.

"Then let's take it out and see."

Tang Youran approached step by step.

The two of them naturally didn't want to hand over such a treasure as the Mother-Child Mirror.

Especially Chen You!

He didn't even want to give it to Tang Yan before, so how could he possibly give it to Tang Youran?

Moreover, his soul returned to his original body, and his strength reached its peak, so he was not afraid of Tang Youran at all.

"Sister, please don't do this..."

Tang Yan frowned.

"Hmph, if you won't give it to me, I'll show you anyway!!!"

With a delicate shout, Tang Youran transformed into a red blur, charging towards Chen You without warning!

Her jade-like fingers moved like lightning, and with a single move, she unleashed the Tang Clan's ultimate technique, the "Purple Jade Acupoint Strike," her fingertips whistling through the air as she aimed straight for Chen You's vital acupoint on his chest!

If it were when he had switched bodies before, Chen You would naturally have been powerless to fight back.

However, at this moment he has regained control of his physical body!

Although Chen You's current cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, which is a small level lower than Tang Youran's peak fourth rank, he possesses many top-level martial arts techniques at the perfect level, and his foundation is extremely profound!

Faced with this sharp finger, Chen You shifted his feet, his body sliding backward like a leaf falling from the eaves, a strange half-zhang away!

It is the lightness skill "Flying on Grass" at the Great Perfection realm!

Tang Youran's finger struck empty air, the sharp gust of wind creating a deep crater in the ground.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Youran's beautiful eyes.

This kid's reaction and speed are several times faster than before!

"You've got some skills, let's see where you can hide!"

Tang Youran let out a low shout, her competitive spirit rising.

She twisted her body in mid-air, crossed her palms, and countless palm shadows mixed with extremely domineering true energy enveloped Chen You like a storm, attempting to completely suppress him with an absolute advantage in cultivation level.

Chen You's eyes narrowed, and he stopped simply avoiding the situation.

He focused his energy in his dantian, and his blood and qi roared like thunder. He clenched his right fist, and a faint crimson, blazing aura emanated from it!

Perfect-level martial art, Three Yang Fist!

"break!"

Instead of retreating, Chen You advanced, unleashing an unstoppable punch to meet the barrage of palm shadows!

The extremely fierce and domineering yang energy erupted with the power of a volcanic eruption, forcefully blasting through Tang Youran's palm net!

"boom!"

Before the fists and palms landed, the two powerful internal energies collided violently in mid-air, stirring up a violent shockwave that shattered the surrounding branches and vegetation.

Tang Youran felt an overwhelming, scorching force rebounding from her arm, causing her blood to surge and her throat to taste sweet.

After letting out a muffled groan, his agile figure staggered back five or six steps in mid-air before landing heavily, crushing several pieces of gravel under his feet.

In contrast, Chen You merely swayed in place, remaining calm and composed.

Tang Youran suppressed the restless internal energy within her body, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen You, her face full of disbelief!

How could a dignified peak fourth-rank expert like himself have suffered a hidden loss at the hands of this kid?

"How come you've suddenly become so amazing? It's like you've become a completely different person!"

Tang Youran was filled with disbelief, after all, she had been able to easily defeat Chen You in their previous encounters.

But now, everything is completely different!

"Sister, let's just forget about it!" Tang Yan said helplessly.

"Tang Yan, what exactly are you hiding? I can assure you, I won't take it!" Tang Youran's gaze turned slightly cold: "I'm doing this for your own good, to prevent you from being deceived by some random man outside!"

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you!" Knowing she could beat Tang Youran, Chen You didn't care anymore and took out the Mother Mirror: "Look, it's just a mirror."

He thought Tang Youran wouldn't recognize him.

However, Tang Youran only glanced at it before exclaiming in surprise, "It's a Mother-Child Mirror! Wait, did you two swap souls before?"
