You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

The Cyan Flood Dragon heard the words and laughed, her eyes seductive: "Precisely because it is poisoned wine, this wine is the most delicious and fragrant in the world. After all, in this world, what pleasure can compare to harming one's own body? Do you think I'm right, young sir..."

"There's some truth to that."

Ye Qingzhou nodded: "The higher one's intelligence, the easier it is to birth self-destructive thoughts, in pursuit of that forbidden pleasure. In a sense, practicing martial arts is also a kind of 'harm' to the body, but this 'harm' allows us to hone our physique and will, thus reaching higher peaks."

"But isn't living like this painful?"

Cyan Flood Dragon Yingyue held a wine cup carved from jade, her lips gently smiling, drinking and sipping alone: "Life is short, shouldn't we seek pleasure while we can?"

"You're not me, so how do you know I'm not happy?"

Zheng~

Flying Frost responded by drawing, the Divine Speed Sword, swift as a flowing light.

Ding~

Yingyue raised her cup in response, easily blocking Ye Qingzhou's slash, under the charming figure was a wild and surging power.

Even if a Martial Arts Master appeared in front of her, they would surely be played like a toy.

"Young sir, we were chatting so nicely, why resort to violence? You're quite insensitive to romance."

Yingyue softly laughed, her slender, pale fingers gently caressing the jade cup, the cyan green poisoned wine rising from the pond, refilling her empty cup.

The enemy before him was powerful enough to suffocate.

Yet Ye Qingzhou did not lose heart, remaining calm, swinging his sword to attack again.

"This move is called Fire Separation, please appreciate it."

Wind Force, Divine Speed, Fire Separation Slash!

The Sword Speed broke through three times the speed of sound, the Flying Frost Sword clashing fiercely with the air.

An immeasurable amount of heat quickly accumulated, causing the temperature of the sword's body to rise sharply, scorching the air, directly forming a red 'thermal expansion'.

"Alas, I offered my heart to the bright moon, but it shines on the ditch."

A melodious sigh echoed in Ye Qingzhou's heart, this was Yingyue's Divine Thought transference, accompanied by shimmering moonlight.

Clang~

The Fire Separation Sword was blocked by invisible moonlight, under the clash of forces, a loud noise resounded, sweeping winds all around, the calm Bishui Pond finally stirred into small ripples.

Ye Qingzhou used the force to retreat, looking around, a thought occurred to him: "The aftermath of our combat could overturn the earth, yet here it only caused ripples in the water, it seems I've entered your Mental Imagery."

"Smart."

On Yingyue's face, there was a flowery smile, even across the veil, there was an alluring charm and seduction: "It's been a long time since someone chatted with me, if possible, I'm truly reluctant to kill you."

As soon as the words were spoken, Ye Qingzhou suddenly felt killing intent surrounding him, his heart sank, yet his mouth still spoke jestingly: "No need to pity me as a delicate flower."

Yingyue laughed giggling: "You're much more interesting than the ones before."

Zheng~

Ye Qingzhou slightly turned his head, but still a blood mark appeared on his face, yet he was not surprised, instead he showed an enlightened expression: "I see, your Mental Imagery is not the poisoned wine at your feet, nor the pervasive fragrance, but the moon in the sky."

Mental Imagery!

The Martial Saint, with his own will, reflects all things in heaven and earth, ultimately following his true heart to create a unique phenomenon, which is Mental Imagery.

Because Mental Imagery is what the Martial Artist thinks in his mind, it often varies greatly, each different.

The only similarity is that it forms a powerful domain, covering a vast area.

A foe, unless also possessing Mental Imagery as a Martial Saint, once stepped within shall face certain death.

This goes beyond strength, because within Mental Imagery, the rules are those recognized by the owner, not the laws of the real world.

Only Mental Imagery can counter Mental Imagery, this is common knowledge in the Martial Arts World.

"Young sir is indeed clever, I really like you more and more. If you would agree to stay, always by my side, I shall spare your life, how about it?"

"Not how about it."

Ye Qingzhou again urging his Inner Breath, unleashes the Ultimate Technique.

Ascension Dragon!

Aspiration to Reach the Heavens, Riding the Dragon!

Ye Qingzhou's Power of Spiritual rises infinitely, brilliant Sword Intent ascends to the sky, dominates heaven and earth, overwhelms all directions, impacts Yingyue's Mental Imagery world.

And the famous sword Flying Frost in his hand, likewise continuously trembles.

In an instant, piercing Sword Qi roared out, transforming into Dragon's Roar in mid-air, its sound like thunder, incomparably powerful, reverberating through the sky.

Resoluteness across time and space, obsession reaching the Other Shore, all transformed into indestructible Sword Intent.

Ye Qingzhou slashed with his sword, sword light shone all around, enveloping a ten-foot radius.

This sword takes Wind as its main force, combining five forces into one, though driven by Inner Breath, its Sword Intent strong, its resolve firm, even Yingyue has to take notice: "Heart Sword Secret Technique, are you a disciple of Sword Emperor?"

Yingyue had already put away her previous playful attitude, her expression became solemn.

The Heart Sword Secret Technique, this is Divine Feather Sword Emperor's unique skill, only with Heart-Sealing Heart can one receive the legacy.

This means Ye Qingzhou has been recognized by the Sword Emperor.

"Enough, stop it."

Yingyue waved her lotus arms, scattering moonlight all over, blocking Ye Qingzhou's Dragon Ascending Sword: "You were sent to kill me, weren't you?"

Ye Qingzhou puzzled: "Yes, so why should we not continue fighting?"

"You've been deceived."

Yingyue propped her fragrant cheek, her voice melancholy, revealing another version of the story: "The Kang Jinlong on Celestial Halberd Peak is fake, the ancestor already died long ago, back then we five siblings gained the ancestor's kindness, but instead of repaying, we became greedy, and together took advantage of the ancestor's sleep to share the Dragon Essence from his body."
