They were also waiting for Little Blind Boy to speak.

Song Cheng did not beat around the bush, but found an opportunity to interrupt the conversation between the three, stood up with a clasped fist, and then looked at the Great Hall Master and the Great Estate Master, saying, "Seniors, I have a proposal."

"Junior would like to exchange Cultivation Techniques with the two seniors."

Ouyang Sha looked at him darkly without speaking.

Tie Zhenyi stroked his chin, saying, "Kid, seeing your relationship with Lady Zhushan, you've already got the 'Pearl Mountain Martial Code', haven't you? You already know a Form Realm Technique, and now with the 'Pearl Mountain Martial Code', what else do you want to exchange?"

Song Cheng straightforwardly said, "I want to exchange for the seniors' Qi Realm Techniques."

The two of them smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Tie Zhenyi said, "Qi Realm Techniques, indeed we have.

But this is my Martial Arts Hall's treasured technique, nothing you offer can exchange for it, unless you fully join my Martial Arts Hall and work your way up slowly.

Your martial arts ability is secondary; the most important thing for a sect's inheritance is loyalty and belonging to the sect.

But forgive my bluntness, as you are the son-in-law of the An Family and a partner of Lady Zhushan, you naturally carry the labels of other sects. Even if you joined my Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, you wouldn't reach the point of receiving the technique's inheritance.

So, it's unnecessary."

This isn't to deceive you, but every sect has its rules.

Inheritance... cannot be passed on lightly.

If it were you, you would do the same."

Song Cheng glanced at Tie Zhenyi's data.

160~292.

This was somewhat stronger than Ouyang Sha.

But compared to him, it was still far from enough.

He only needed to reveal part of his strength to cope with it.

Thus, Song Cheng said, "Great Hall Master Tie, without having seen what I have to offer for exchange, is it not too hasty?"

He stepped back two steps, leaving an open space, and made an inviting gesture.

Tie Zhenyi did not get up but asked, "Are you also in the Qi Realm?"

Song Cheng shook his head.

After a moment's thought, Tie Zhenyi laughed heartily and said, "Well then, a young calf is not afraid of tigers. I appreciate your boldness. Let... let me see your skills."

Song Cheng said, "Please."

Tie Zhenyi didn't put on airs and stepped forward, saying, "To the courtyard."

The two went out, and Lady Zhushan and Ouyang Sha also immediately followed.

In the courtyard,

snow still lingered in the corners.

Tie Zhenyi took a large saber, posed slightly, and then without immediately unleashing Qi Realm power, he demonstrated Form Gang Force, swinging the large saber like a full moon, creating a silver circle that burst forth in the air, cleaving towards him.

Lady Zhushan and Ouyang Sha immediately looked towards Song Cheng.

In Lady Zhushan's mind, she had already imagined how Song would respond.

She had seen Song draw his saber many times.

Quick, accurate, and fierce, slaying those immobilized Ghost Servants was as smooth as flowing water.

Song's saber should meet it as fast as lightning, but his strength was definitely not a match for Great Hall Master Tie. The Shanhe Martial Arts Hall's power was powerful and fierce, beginning as carrying a mountain and descending as cleaving a mountain, all with tremendous force.

Therefore, Song's first strike would be repelled.

But Song was fast and would quickly catch up, then fighting closely with the Great Hall Master.

But would such techniques impress the Great Hall Master?

Lady Zhushan thought not.

Yet, she already regarded Song Cheng as her own child and thought that even if Song could not obtain Qi Realm Technique from Tie Zhenyi, Ouyang Sha, she would still find a way to give Song a chance.

As the saying goes, slow but fast.

Song Cheng did not draw the saber at his waist, but simply put two fingers together, casually flicking them through the air, like a meteor rushing to the moon. With a "ding," he diverted the large saber that was whistling down in a bright arc.

He retracted his fingers, their tips still exhibiting a mysteriously dark color.

This was merely the Xuanwu Body, without adding the power of the True Form of Xuanwu.

If it had been added, this dark color would have taken on a more surreal quality, reminiscent of a divine Buddha's fingertips amidst clouds and mist above a decisive battle.

Still, the three giants present were all stunned.

Especially Lady Zhushan.

Song Cheng did not wait for the three to ask questions and immediately said, "This technique is called 'Xuanwu Body', and this is what I wish to exchange for the Qi Realm Technique."

"Body?"

Tie Zhenyi was taken aback for a moment.

Song Cheng nodded and said, "Body."

As he spoke this word, the hundreds of forces around him suddenly began a frenzied circulation, making him seem like a cast-iron Buddha forged from a hundred tempering, appearing to radiate a chilling aura.

"I'll try it!"

A gleam flashed in Ouyang Sha's eyes, and he immediately flicked his staff, moving like a phantom to appear in front of Song Cheng instantly.

As the staff shot out, as quick as a flash of lightning, it aimed a sharp jab at Song Cheng's left shoulder.

Snap.

Lightning fell to the body, spreading ripples; the air itself seemed to twist. But...

It was useless!

Ouyang Sha turned his hand and struck at the right shoulder.

Snap.

Still useless.

The staff shrank back and pointed at Song Cheng's left eye.

Song Cheng quietly circulated his power, Gang Qi crisscrossed, secretly lying in wait... Even though Ouyang Sha used Qi Realm power in this strike, he could completely defend against it. But that would make him and Estate Master Ouyang enemies.

Normally a friendly match, yet you strike with lethal intent, what else if not deadly foes?

But if still in Form Realm, that would be fine.

Snap!

The staff touched Song Cheng's left eyelid, emitting a dull metallic sound.

Still within the Form Realm.

Song Cheng sighed in relief.

Ouyang Sha also put away his staff, looking intensely at Song Cheng, and suddenly said, "Be my son-in-law, and I'll pass on my estate's Qi Realm Techniques to you! I won't force you to divorce, but my daughter must also be a wife."

Meanwhile, Tie Zhenyi also reacted, stepping forward and saying, "A fine 'Xuanwu Body', it seems Mr. Song, you truly must be a descendant of some hidden noble family. Such divine skills, I even feel it is still in the realm of Force."
