Chapter 14: The Ninth Turn Revives the Soul

  As prompted, a golden treasure chest emitting a radiant glow suddenly appeared in Wu Ming's Brain Sea Xianfa system space.

  "Heh heh, I wonder what good stuff this will be." Wu Ming was excitedly about to open the treasure chest when a crisp prompt sounded in his mind once again.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "You have luckily triggered the Book Spirit System task [Spring Sun Melting Snow]."

  "Task content: Using the Spring Sun Melting Snow skill, actively absorb the true energy from Zhao Zhi Jing's body."

  "Task time limit: one hour."

  ……

  "What?!" The crowd of Taoists saw Zhao Zhi Jing being knocked to the ground by Wu Ming with just one move, and he didn't move at all, seemingly completely losing his ability to resist. This made them simply unbelievable.

  Yin Zhiping was both shocked and terrified, secretly relieved that he had retreated early last time, otherwise the losses might have been even greater.

  Grandma Sun was both surprised and delighted, her eyes filled with affection and admiration as she looked at Wu Ming.

  Hao Datong was shocked beyond measure. Wu Ming's move just now was very ordinary, even a bit clumsy. In his judgment, no matter what, it was impossible to rely on such a clumsy move to throw Zhao Zhi Jing to the ground. Was there something fishy going on here?

  Originally, Wu Ming didn't think of absorbing the internal energy from Zhao Zhi Jing's body, but now that he had the task from the Book Spirit System, he wasn't a stubborn person, so he naturally wouldn't decline.

  Unfortunately, just as he was about to bend down and help Zhao Zhi Jing up, and take the opportunity to absorb his internal energy, Hao Da Tong suddenly shouted: "Yang Guo, do not be presumptuous."

  As he shouted, Hao Datong had already flown into the arena, taking a step ahead to hold Zhao Zhi Jing who was unable to get up from the ground in his arms, and began to examine his injuries.

  "Dizzy, Hao Datong is really going to make trouble." Wu Ming was somewhat speechless, secretly sighing in his heart, alas, could it be that this mission is going to fail?

  Hao Datong suddenly jumped into the scene, and Sun Bao also came to Wu Ming's front to protect him, worried that the opponent would harm the child.

  "Old Daoist," Granny Sun sneered, "Zhao Zhi Jing has already lost his ability to act. Shouldn't this martial competition be considered a win for my family's child?"

  Hao Datong took another look and found that Zhao Zhi Jing, apart from some minor external injuries, didn't have any internal injuries, but his behavior was very strange, he had been unconscious the whole time.

  Now, listening to Old Lady Sun's pressing questions, Hao Datong showed a hint of impatience and said: "Don't worry, if we lose, we'll admit it. We, the Quanzhen Sect, won't deny it. Yang Guo, listen up! According to the agreement made before the martial arts competition, from now on, you will no longer be Zhao Zhi Jing's disciple, nor will you be a member of our Quanzhen Sect. From now on, you're on your own."

  Wu Ming secretly admired, the bearing of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen was indeed much stronger than that of the three generations of disciples, at least they wouldn't be deceitful. On the surface, he cupped his hands and said: "Concede, concede, thank you, Hao Daozhang. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first."

  With Hao Datong present, Wu Ming knew he wouldn't have the chance to absorb Zhao Zhi Jing's internal energy, so it was better to leave first and avoid any more trouble.

  Just as Wu Ming pulled Sun Po's hand to head towards the small woods, Hao Datong suddenly blocked their way and said: "Yang Guo, wait a minute!"

  Hao Dazhong blocked their way, and Old Lady Sun immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Old Daoist, what do you want to do?"

  Hao Datong hastily said, "Don't misunderstand, madam. Earlier, Zhao Zhi Jing was injured by Yang Guo and has been unconscious ever since. I wanted to ask what exactly happened? Can he be woken up as soon as possible?"

  Zhao Zhi Jing's coma is due to the anesthetic effect of 【Wú Yǐng Shén Zhēn】, and within the three-minute time limit, no one can wake him up.

  Wu Ming listened and was secretly excited, why not take the opportunity to absorb the opponent's internal force while pretending to rescue him?

  Think and act.

  Wu Ming immediately chimed in, "Hao Daozhang, Zhao Daozhang has been sealed by my ancient tomb sect's unique sealing technique. If you want him to wake up as soon as possible, I must take action myself."

  "Alright, I'll trouble you then." Hao Datong was hesitant and unsure, but since he had just used all his skills to try and wake Zhao Zhi Jing up and failed, he could only nod in agreement when Wu Ming said this.

  Time was pressing, Wu Ming took over Zhao Zhi Jing from Hao Da Tong's hands and, under the pretext of unsealing the acupoint, directly pressed both his hands on the Tan Zhong acupoint on the opponent's chest.

  Because of the last unintentional absorption of Yin Zhiping's internal force, Wu Ming easily used Chunyang Fung Snow to stimulate the opponent's internal force to overflow.

  On the one hand, Wu Ming pretended to rescue him, while on the other hand, he began to absorb the internal energy from Zhao Zhi Jing's body.

  Zhao Zhi Jing's inner power was still above Yin Zhi Ping, and this time it was an active absorption, but the process was even more thrilling than last time.

  Luckily, Wu Ming's meridians had withstood the impact of the last time and had been broadened for a day, otherwise, actively absorbing other people's internal force would be extremely dangerous for him, a newcomer who had just entered the door of martial arts.

  After absorbing more than 20% of his opponent's internal energy, Wu Ming felt the true qi in his body surging and slightly out of control.

  Should we stop while we're ahead?

  Wu Ming immediately thought of the struggle between Zhao Zhi Jing and Yin Zhi Ping in The Legend of the Condor Hero, if he drained Zhao's internal energy, wouldn't that mean Yin would have no more worries?

  Wu Mingxin suddenly gave up absorbing the inner energy from Zhao Zhi Jing's body, and instead pretended to manipulate other acupoints for a while. Feeling that enough time had passed, he let go of his hand and said: "Alright, Master Hao, he should wake up immediately."

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Congratulations, you have completed the Book Spirit System task [Spring Sun Melts Snow], and obtained [Nine-Turn Golden Rebirth Dan] x1."

  Jiuzhuan Jinchuang Huansheng Dan? This seems to be the legendary elixir of the Hebei Wei family's female knight in "The Legend of Martial Arts", whose miraculous effect is seemingly even better than the Shaolin Temple's Dahuan Dan.

  In the martial arts world, getting injured is a common occurrence, and this kind of healing medicine is naturally hard to come by.

  Wu Ming was secretly excited at this time, but heard Hao Da Tong say: "Eh, Zhi Jing indeed has signs of waking up."

  As soon as Hao Datong's voice fell, Zhao Zhi Jing woke up and came to. At this time, although he was already awake, he seemed not to have realized that he had been declared the loser of the match.

  "Master Uncle, what's going on? I remember just now I was competing with Yang Guo?" Zhao Zhi Jing shook his head.

  "Zhi Jing, you've already lost, no need to say more." Hao Da Tong shook his head.

  Lost? Impossible, how could Zhao Zhi Jing lose to Yang Guo, that mongrel? Suddenly, he recalled the previous martial arts competition, it seemed that when approaching his opponent, he felt as if being pricked by a needle on his body, and then lost consciousness.

  Yang Guo this bastard must have used some despicable trick, otherwise how could I have lost?

  No way, I definitely can't let him get away with it...

  Zhao Zhi Jing's heart grew more and more indignant, his face turning extremely unsightly, with a hint of an explosive sign.

  Unfortunately, Wu Ming didn't know the danger was approaching and said calmly: "Hao Daozhang, since Zhao Daozhang is awake, we'll take our leave."

  "Yang Guo, go die..." Zhao Zhi Jing revealed a ferocious face and under urgent circumstances, he exerted his strength to slap Wu Ming's back with a loud palm.

  "Be careful, child..." Although Grandma Sun was quick and agile, it was already impossible to stop Zhao Zhi Jing, so she had no choice but to dodge behind Wu Ming and forcibly withstand the opponent's palm.

  "Bang......" With the palm strength, Old Lady Sun was instantly knocked flying out. Fortunately, Wu Ming had absorbed 20% of her internal energy beforehand, otherwise the situation would have been even more severe.

  "Ma......" Wu Ming cried out in sorrow and hastily ran forward to help up the injured Grandma Sun.
