One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

On the arena of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

Wang Ye looked at Su Mu, whose eyes were filled with the swirling Bagua symbols, yet he remained frozen in place, and couldn't help but bite his lip.

Unexpectedly, even Old Su was trapped in the inner world?

It's my fault that he's in this mess!

The spectators on the sidelines, watching the two motionless figures, couldn't help but murmur amongst themselves.

"Wait a minute? What are those two doing? Why aren't they moving?"

"Holy crap, are these two putting on an act like they did with Zhang Chulan?"

"No way! This is the only watchable match of the day?"

Looking at the murmuring audience, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"What is Brother Su doing?"

"Could it be that she really developed feelings for Daoist Wang Ye while taking a nap together?"

"It shouldn't be." Xu San pushed up his glasses. "Although Su Mu likes to slack off, drink, and not do anything serious, he never lets you down when it matters."

"He's acting like this; something's clearly wrong."

The Taoist priest, acting as the referee, frowned and looked at the arena, asking, "Hey, Su Mu, Su Mu?"

Wang Ye sighed and said, "There's no need to shout anymore."

"He might... not wake up."

"He can't wake up?" The Taoist priest was taken aback. "You mean, you just used some kind of method to keep Su Mu from waking up?"

"I guess so..."

Upon hearing his words, the entire room erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap! Isn't this king only good at Tai Chi? What kind of method did he use to keep Su Mu from waking up?"

"I don't understand. Wasn't this guy on good terms with Su Mu? Why did he go to such lengths..."

"Hey, do you think his move might also be one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques?"

The audience was buzzing with discussion, and Wang Ye also wore a sad expression.

He stepped forward and gently patted Su Mu on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Lao Su..."

"It's my fault..."

"Don't worry, I will take care of you until I die, or until the day you wake up."

After saying that, Wang Ye turned and walked towards the exit.

Seeing this, the referee sighed and announced his verdict.

"Wang Ye VS Su Mu, the winner is—"

"king……"

"Don't rush to pronounce the verdict!"

A shout, tinged with a mix of frivolity, nonchalance, languor, and casualness, interrupted the referee.

Wang Ye turned his head instantly, looking over with a face full of astonishment—

Under the sunlight, the boy's smile was like a gentle breeze, dispelling the heat in the air.

"Old Wang, I've received your generous gift."

A smile also appeared on Wang Ye's lips.

"Old Su, I knew you could do it."

"But why teach me?" Su Mu asked.

Wang Ye pondered for a moment before speaking, "I just feel that someone like you, since you've brought this up, must have your reasons."

"You have passed all my tests perfectly, and I believe you are qualified to master this method."

"But...aren't you afraid of the trouble?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid... but what's the use of being afraid?"

Wang Ye shrugged.

"The fact that I know the Eight Extraordinary Skills can't be kept secret."

"So instead of having everyone watching me, I'd rather teach you the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and let you share the burden with me."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the referee.

"Referee, I concede."

"What exactly are you guys doing... never mind..."

The referee shook his head.

"I hereby declare the winner: Wang Ye VS Su Mu, Su Mu wins!"

"Huh? What on earth is going on?"

"I don't understand... I thought there was going to be a good show..."

"Forget it, tomorrow is Su Mu's turn to fight Zhang Lingyu, let's just let Su Mu rest today."

"Too."

The audience began to leave.

Zhuge Qing stood at the sidelines, gripping the railing tightly with one hand.

What exactly was that Qi formation that just unfolded?

Why are the four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams in that Qi formation all constantly rotating?

Could it be... that this is also one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills?

As Su Mu watched Wang Ye's departing figure, he knew that what Wang Ye had just said about sharing the burden was definitely a lie.

Even if others know that I have mastered the Eight Extraordinary Skills, so what?

No matter what, I am a formal employee of the company.

Moreover, people like Lü Ci and Wang Ai have been fooled by him, believing that they are core employees that the company is focusing on cultivating.

In this situation, who would dare to defy public opinion and attack me?

But the king was different.

He was just a disciple of Wudang Mountain.

Wudang Mountain cannot protect him.

Therefore, Su Mu owes Wang Ye a favor in this matter.

……

When Su Mu walked out of the venue, Zhang Chulan and the others were already waiting.

Upon seeing Su Mu emerge, Zhang Chulan immediately went to greet him.

"Brother Su, are you alright?"

"When I saw you standing there suddenly, motionless, and then Master Wang said you would never wake up, it really scared us."

"How are you feeling now?"

"Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Seeing Zhang Chulan's worried expression, Su Mu smiled slightly.

"Xiao Zhang, I'm fine."

"It's good that you're alright." Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief. "That Taoist priest Wang is really ruthless; he's so cruel, always making people never wake up again..."

"And you were his bedmate during afternoon naps, and you're the one who did it!"

As soon as he said this, everyone passing by turned their attention to Su Mu.

Su Mu: ...Zhang Chulan, thank you so much! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!

……

That night, Su Mu stood alone on the edge of the cliff.

Earlier, after realizing he was trapped in the illusion of the inner world, he said goodbye to Ah Qing in the illusion.

After receiving Ah Qing's blessing, he returned to the venue.

At the same time, I also heard the system notification tone—

[Ding! Detected that the host has learned the Eight Extraordinary Techniques - Feng Hou Qi Men, which can unlock the Destiny Constellation - Fourth - Free Wind. Do you wish to unlock it?]

[Note: Unlocking a constellation will strip you of the ability used for unlocking it, which cannot be learned or used again afterward. Also, unlocking a constellation requires a short process; please find a safe location before attempting to unlock it.]

Because of the system's prompt, Su Mu did not unlock the Destiny Constellation directly at the venue.

However, it was somewhat unexpected that I was able to unlock Constellation 4 directly.

Moreover, after unlocking the Destiny Seat, the ability originally used to unlock it, Feng Hou Qi Men, will no longer be able to be learned or used.

The cost was quite high.

However, I believe that the system will not treat me unfairly.

Thinking of this, Su Mu's mind stirred—

System, unlock constellation!

[Ding! Constellation unlocking...]

As the system notification sounded, a line emitting a blue glow appeared on Su Mu's body.

Immediately afterwards, lines appeared one after another, quickly covering Su Mu's entire body!

Su Mu looked down at the lines on his hand and froze.

This is?!

[Ding! Unlocked!]

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Constellation Four: The Free Wind, and gaining the ability to transform into wind!]

[Wind Transformation Technique: The host can freely transform any part of themselves into wind element, becoming immune to all physical damage!]
