Chapter 840: Chapter 856: Challenge the Central Emperor

Apart from Yuan Hao, no one knew what Yang Zhen had done.

Everyone only felt a gust of wind suddenly waft from Yang Zhen, and then they knew nothing else.

Like a breeze of spring air, everyone even felt somewhat comfortable, but Yuan Hao’s face turned pale as if covered with a layer of flour, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood. Can’t this man be touched by the wind?

Is there also a person who can’t be touched by the wind?

As they watched Yang Zhen step by step walking past Yuan Hao, with an elegant and meticulous demeanor, standing tall and confident, the crowd, bewildered, suddenly thought Yang Zhen was so handsome!

This is a true powerhouse, calm and composed, no matter who you are, no matter if you inherited the Emperor Skill or the saint’s, a single breeze blew you into confusion!

...

At the same time, everyone was also shocked in their hearts.

There were no fools present; they understood that Yuan Hao’s condition was definitely not because Yang Zhen had simply blown on him—there must have been some other misfortune.

As for whether this wind was a matter of momentum or Taoist details, probably no one knew other than Yuan Hao, who still looked completely baffled.

Yang Zhen walked away slowly and leisurely, while the cheap cat strutted with a swagger that didn’t recognize relatives, its hips twisting so much its tail was nearly flung off.

“Kid, impressive!”

“I’m flattered, really flattered!”

A man and a cat locked eyes, sympathizing with each other, their mutual understanding of a master’s loneliness inciting everyone to want to fight.

The mentor recovered from his shock and hurriedly followed, while Yuan Hao’s master, although he looked rather like a man on his last legs, was undoubtedly a formidable figure. He snorted coldly but did not follow, instead glancing at Yuan Hao and asking, “What happened?”

Hearing their mentor’s words, the pale-faced, round-cheeked girl, and the young woman turned their gazes simultaneously to Yuan Hao’s face.

Yuan Hao, still displaying a face of utter confusion, paused upon hearing this and turned woodenly to look at his mentor, his facial expression nearly crying as he murmured, “Impossible, master, impossible. Yang Zhen’s Taoist details, they could actually break directly through your disciple’s defenses. In front of him, my Taoist details were like completely defenseless… How can this be?”

“What?”

Everyone was taken aback by Yuan Hao’s words.

What does having no defense mean?

In that brief moment, just a breath’s time, Yuan Hao could have died several times over.

Are Yang Zhen’s Taoist details that powerful?

But… where did those Taoist details come from?

Was that slight breeze Taoist details?

If that was all Taoist details, then everyone present had stronger Taoist details than Yang Zhen. Everyone there, apart from Yuan Hao, was confident that they could have easily scattered a breeze of Taoist details like the one just experienced into nothingness in an instant!

And yet, it was such a mild breeze that not only made Yuan Hao spit blood, but also made him question his life?

With this thought, everyone, including the old crone, took a sharp intake of breath, their eyes flashing with astonishment.

It is well known that Taoist details are an indiscriminate power, only to be released or withdrawn. They had never heard of any of the previous great powers being able to use Taoist details as a freely wielded force. At most, they could form something similar to an understanding, but that was merely a similarity.

But if everyone was not mistaken, Yang Zhen might have just broken through this realm. He had concentrated the Taoist details right on Yuan Hao.

At this possibility, everybody felt as though they might be going mad.

That’s simply impossible!

Just how strong are Yang Zhen’s Taoist details that he can use them so willfully?

Everyone was stunned, except for the old woman and her three disciples, the rest of the elderly people’s faces flickered with a look of shock and uncertainty, all filled with anticipation!

On the other side, the cheap cat looked at Yang Zhen with a shocked face, jumped three feet high, landed on Yang Zhen’s head, clutched his hair, and brought its head close to Yang Zhen, exclaiming, “What did you say? Kid, what were you just talking about? You condensed the Taoist details into a needle?”

Yang Zhen was taken aback, pulled the cheap cat down, and said, “What’s with the excitement? It was just a chance thought that led me to try it out. Damn, that means I have to thank that guy Yuan Hao. I didn’t realize Taoist details could be used like this!”

The cheap cat, hung by the neck in front of Yang Zhen, didn’t struggle, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and muttered to itself, “This is incredible, you just condensed the Taoist details into a needle, and directly poked that guy’s head?”

“Yeah, that guy’s Taoist details seemed completely defenseless in front of me.”

“Wahahaha…”

All of a sudden, the cheap cat burst into wild laughter, rolling and thrashing about, being dangled by the neck by Yang Zhen, its plump body almost twisted into a pretzel in midair, frightening Yang Zhen so much that he threw it out.

“What’s gotten into you?”

Ignoring the look from Yang Zhen, the cheap cat rolled on the ground for a long time. It wasn’t until the teacher caught up that it finally stopped, panting excitedly, and said to Yang Zhen, “Kid, do you realize what you’ve inadvertently accomplished?”

Yang Zhen, feeling puzzled, touched the cheap cat’s forehead to make sure it wasn’t burning up. Only after finding it was icy cold did he let out a sigh of relief and curiously asked, “What did I accomplish?”

Looking at the doubtful laughter, the cheap cat said in a grave tone, “What you just did is something even the great saints couldn’t accomplish. Thousands of years ago, this method of controlling Taoist details had a name. Guess what it was called?”

“What was it called?”

Yang Zhen was intrigued, looking eagerly at the cheap cat.

Before today, Yang Zhen hadn’t even heard of controlling Taoist details, let alone accomplished it. This was something that existed tens of thousands of years ago?

Why had it disappeared? Could it be another lost tradition?

As Yang Zhen’s mind wandered, the cheap cat suddenly took a deep breath, a look of excitement crossed its face but it tried to appear serious as it said, “Tens of thousands of years ago, this method was called… Emperor Skill!”

“What the heck?” Yang Zhen jumped, staring at the cheap cat for a long time before he spoke, “I’m not well-read, don’t fool me. Is this technique really called the Emperor Skill? Is it something emperors could use?”

“Genuine as can be!” The cheap cat cocked its neck, affirming confidently.

“This…”

Yang Zhen and his teacher exchanged looks, and Yang Zhen murmured, “Am I that amazing?”

The teacher gave a wry smile and said, “Kid, the level you’re dealing with now is far beyond what I’ve encountered.”

Yang Zhen beamed with pride, and the cheap cat seemed even prouder than Yang Zhen himself. They walked with an air of oblivious arrogance towards the interior of Giant Mountain City.

Two days later, the news that Yang Zhen could control Taoist details somehow spread, and the entire Western Region was in an uproar.

“This is huge news indeed, Yang Zhen can control Taoist details! It is said that the prodigy from the East Sea, Yuan Hao, has been questioning his life since Yang Zhen hit him with a needle of Taoist details.”

“I’ve heard about this too. Yuan Hao got what he deserved, wanting to gain fame by stepping on Yang Zhen’s shoulders. Now, it serves him right; he’s almost turned into an idiot.”

“Have you heard? The Middle Emperor has actually taken notice of Yang Zhen and seems to have taken an interest in him. The Daoist debate in a couple of days is going to be quite lively.”

“My goodness, really?”

“What? Yang Zhen is going to debate with the Middle Emperor? This… this is big news!”

“But I’ve heard that Yang Zhen has no plans to participate in the debate at all. Hey, fellow Taoist, listen to me… I didn’t say Yang Zhen was going to challenge the Middle Emperor. Oh no, this is bad. If this news gets out, there will be trouble!”

“What? Yang Zhen is going to challenge the Middle Emperor? My heavens, this is too shocking!”

“…”
