Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

This might be a good opportunity to spar with him again.

His Qi poison is much stronger than before.

Qi Poison is one of the Tang Clan's unique skills, a poison that is harmonized with Qi. It is usually cultivated in conjunction with techniques and medicines. Once mastered, it can transform Qi into poison at will. Compared to the Poison Barrier that covers the body, Qi Poison does not have the characteristics of defensive transformation, but it is a more potent and purer poison.

Of course, its power is slightly weaker than ordinary poisons; however, the strength of Qi Poison lies in its ability to be used at will.

It is more insidious than ordinary poisons.

Qi poison is also one of the most commonly used techniques by Tang Sect disciples.

Combined with the illusionary body barrier, it allows one to kill silently.

The Illusionary Body Barrier is also a unique concealment technique of the Tang Clan. It can make one disappear visually, but it needs to be combined with concealing one's aura to achieve true concealment. It is one of the Tang Clan's ultimate assassination techniques.

Among the Tang Clan, the most skilled in the Illusionary Body Barrier technique are their sect leader Tang Bingwen and their master Tang Jiaren.

"Hehe, it's Brother Yang!"

Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

He could tell that Yang Lie was using the Tang Clan's visualization technique at that moment.

The Tang Sect's method of observation is both powerful and weak; it is difficult to detect yet impossible to erase.

Just like the surface of water, the more you try to manipulate it, the more turbulent the waves become; if you observe quietly from a high place in your mind, you will know that the free observation is not a dead piece of wood, and because you are free in your inner observation, there is nothing you cannot do.

In Journey to the West, before the elixir was extracted and placed into the cauldron, Sun Wukong relied on his inner observation to control himself, which allowed him to draw out the fire in his small intestine (the Lesser Sage) to fight against the fire in his heart (the Great Sage). This is what is known as observing the fire.

Chapter 672 Zhang Zhiwei! (Two Chapters Combined)

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Yang Lie indifferently, his smile calm and unhurried, showing no concern for the opponent's hidden fighting spirit.

"This kid is quite interesting."

Zhang Zhiwei smiled to himself.

He recently went down the mountain to gain experience and met many people.

Some practiced diligently and made progress, while others were single-mindedly focused on winning; however, he paid no attention to any of them.

"It seems that Brother Yang's years of secluded cultivation have sharpened his edge even further." Zhang Zhiwei yawned. "What, do you wish to test your understanding of the Great Dao with me again today?"

"Master Zhang, I admit my defeat at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was due to my inferior skills. However, over the years I have delved into the Tang Clan's Poison Dao and Illusionary Body Techniques, and I am no longer the same as before. Today, I am fortunate to have this opportunity, and I humbly request Master Zhang's guidance!"

Yang Lie also said coldly.

"Yang Lie has had another episode. Zhang Zhiwei is known as the Little Celestial Master."

Xu Xin, standing to the side, curled his lip.

This kid must be crazy.

Zhang Zhiwei has recently become quite famous in the martial arts world, and many evil people from the Quanxing sect have fallen at his hands.

"Yang Lie was always warlike..."

Dong Chang shook his head.

"Yes, Yang Lie is arrogant, but Master Zhang is not so easy to deal with."

Li Ding also shook his head.

"Is this guy Zhang Zhiwei from the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

Liang Wu'er had arrived here without anyone noticing.

As the top weapon refiner of the Tang Clan, he had also heard about Zhang Zhiwei.

This guy is known as the number one genius of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

He easily defeated Li Ding when he was very young.

"Is this squinty-eyed guy Zhang Zhiwei?"

Tang Gao also looked at Zhang Zhiwei with curiosity.

"Hmm, this kid is really good. He's just as good as Chen."

Tang Mingyi also walked over, and a falcon landed on her shoulder.

"really."

Yu Huizhong nodded as well.

These days, young people are anything but simple.

"Since Brother Yang is eager to verify this, then I'll play along. Remember, stop when you've got it covered. In the path of cultivation, being competitive is the most illusory thing."

Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

He was also a little itchy to try it.

"Zhang Zhiwei!"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jingqing immediately shouted angrily.

"Master, if the young people want to try their skills, let them have a friendly competition."

Tang Bingwen said calmly.

He was also very curious about Zhang Zhiwei's methods.

He had heard that this disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion was extremely ruthless, and he wanted to see for himself.

"Yes, Celestial Master, why not let the younger generation have a go?"

The old man, Tang Jiaren, standing to the side, also said with a smile.

"Alright then, you two!"

Zhang Jingqing gave a bitter smile; it seemed there was no other way.

Before he finished speaking, Yang Lie's figure suddenly became ethereal. A thin layer of light and shadow enveloped his body, which was the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, Illusionary Body Barrier! To the naked eye, his figure seemed to blend into the surrounding light, shadow, grass, and trees, his outline gradually blurring and dissipating, and even his aura was completely concealed, leaving no trace.

In the shadows, only a wisp of extremely fine, dark blue-green poison quietly lurked, silently coiling around Zhang Zhiwei's body along the airflow. The poison was extremely condensed, neither frivolous nor agitated, avoiding all exposed weaknesses, specifically seeking out the subtle gaps in the flow of Qi within the body to infiltrate, its ruthlessness and cunning reaching the extreme.

"Yang Lie is quite something; he can actually use Qi Poison to this extent."

Li Ding watched intently, nodding to himself. In the years since they last met, Yang Lie's skill had indeed increased several times over. His illusionary body barrier was now masterful, and his Qi poison was incredibly refined. An ordinary first-rate expert would have been silently affected, their Qi blocked by the poison, their meridians eroded, leaving them utterly powerless to fight back.

"No way? This kid's illusion barrier is that powerful?"

Seeing this, Xu Xin couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He's a jack of all trades, master of none; he tries to know a little about everything but is mediocre at everything.

Yang Lie was the complete opposite of him; he was a jack-of-all-trades and master of all trades.

It has to be said that the differences between people are huge.

"Yang Lie is good."

Dong Chang also had a serious expression.

The strength Yang Lie displayed was far greater than before; this kid was truly a genius of their Tang Clan.

Unfortunately, he was facing Zhang Zhiwei.

"That's interesting!"

Standing still, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes were slightly closed, his mind clear and focused, his inner vision at ease. While the power of observation could reveal flaws in all things, in the face of an absolute difference in cultivation, all trickery was a joke. Within his inner vision, the surrounding air currents, floating dust, and wandering Qi were all clearly distinct; Yang Lie's concealed figure and the swirling poisonous Qi were completely unmasked.

"The Tang Clan's assassination techniques—illusionary body concealment, poisonous Qi invading the meridians—are indeed exquisite," Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile, his tone frank and without a trace of contempt. "It's just a pity, Brother Yang Lie, that I've already seen through you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his fingertips lightly. There was no earth-shattering power, only a wisp of pure golden light pierced through the air. This wisp of golden light was extremely yang and righteous. As soon as it appeared, the gray-black poison that was circulating around it melted away instantly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, and all of it turned into nothingness.

"This Golden Light Mantra!"

Tang Jiaren was slightly startled upon seeing this.

The disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion are indeed extraordinary.

"Zhang Zhiwei!"

Zhang Jingqing was also slightly taken aback.

Has this kid really improved his Golden Light Mantra so much?

He never expected this.

I reckon in a few years, he really won't be a match for this kid.

They have truly surpassed their teachers.

"not good!"

The illusory barrier of light and shadow that enveloped the air shattered with a crash, forcing Yang Lie's figure out of the way. He staggered back several steps, his chest heaving slightly, his eyes filled with shock.

His arduous self-cultivation, which he was so proud of, proved utterly ineffective in front of Zhang Zhiwei.

This is outrageous.

Chen Yuan and Zhang Zhiwei are monsters who are completely overshadowed by their generation.

"You flatter me." Zhang Zhiwei smiled slightly, looking at Yang Lie with a calm gaze. "Technique is technique, not the way. Brother Yang, you are too obsessed with winning with technique and trapped by past defeats. Your mindset has already fallen to a low level. Even if your skills improve tenfold, you still cannot break free from your own shackles."

As a cultivator, he cares more about his own gains and losses than the strength of his methods.

This is what makes him different from others.

"Master, your disciple is truly a prodigy."

Upon hearing this, Tang Bingwen couldn't help but speak up.

Zhang Zhiwei's talent is too extraordinary, and his lack of attachment to methods and winning or losing is even more astonishing.

Damn it!

Yang Lie remained silent, his clenched fists slowly loosening, the fighting spirit surging in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a heart full of frustration and helplessness.

"Yang Lie seems to be quite depressed."

Xu Xin chuckled to himself.

"Yes."
