A day and a half passed.

On Xu Guang's body, there seemed to be no change, but on him, there was an inexplicable strange feeling growing.

"More than ten thousand points of experience used to elevate the three Acquired Techniques to their peak is quite effective."

Xu Guang walked out from the secret chamber, releasing his spiritual power, seventy meters, eighty meters... one hundred meters!

Is the limit just one hundred meters?

The Scattering Technique of the Acquired Techniques has very little effect on him now.

During these two days, he practiced three Acquired Techniques from the Iron Armor Sect: the Night Shirt Technique, Cold Wind Autumn Collection Skill, and Great Snow Mountain Continuous Strength Technique.

Two days are certainly not enough to cultivate to the peak, but entry is sufficient.

The first Acquired Scattering Technique, the Night Shirt Technique, after being elevated to the peak and then scattered, increased the Absolute Perception by about fifteen meters.

The second Great Snow Mountain Continuous Strength Technique increased it by about ten meters.

The third Cold Wind Autumn Collection Skill only increased it by a mere five meters!

Although part of the reason is that the Cold Wind Autumn Collection Skill is not as profound as the previous two, Xu Guang also clearly felt that his spiritual power could no longer be improved merely by scattering Acquired Techniques.

Practicing Innate Techniques and then scattering them was imperative.

The further improvement of spiritual power naturally involves more than just the enhancement of Absolute Perception, and now the level of spiritual power finally touches the threshold of various mental attack methods in the Jade Cicada Molt Divine Technique.

He slowly closed his eyes, and everything around him, from the din of voices to the cries of birds and beasts, down to the chirping of insects underground, even the slight rustles of vegetation gathering strength in the soil, became vividly detailed in his mental world.

It truly was... extraordinarily miraculous.

With a change of mind, everything around seemed to be altered.

A single ant crawling on the ground suddenly halted, its whole body stiffening.

As if an invisible mountain pressed down, the ant crumpled into a flat shape in an instant.

The pressure of divine thought.

Named by Elder Yuchan as - Divine Luo Tribulation!

Xu Guang furrowed his brows; though this technique was extraordinary, its actual effect... was difficult to describe.

At best, it could cause an Innate Expert to lose focus for a moment during battle, and that only if they were already distracted.

A bit superfluous.

He tested a second method, in the formless spiritual world, his thoughts seemingly condensed into a needle.

Peculiar forces coursed through the air, suddenly striking out!

Squeak~!

A bird about the size of a palm sitting on a tree trembled violently and then seemed to lose consciousness altogether, dropping from the air.

Xu Guang's eyes lit up; this condensed mental power thrust was quite effective.

This method was named - Soul Splitting Tribulation!

It is the technique he can currently use among the Jade Cicada Nine Tribulations.

The Jade Cicada Molt Divine Technique is a very complete Innate Technique, containing not only a cultivation technique but also nine mental attack methods and secret techniques.

Xu Guang picked up the small bird, gently placed half a Ninth-Grade Elixir in its mouth, then leaped onto a tree, carefully placing it there.

Since you've suffered an unprovoked disaster, I'll give you a chance encounter.

...

The next day, Song Di visited.

"The letter my uncle sent to Tu Biao arrived; he agreed."

Killing is never a matter of lip service or inviting someone to a meal; it requires meticulous planning, considering consequences before acting, and cleaning up afterward.

Song Di has paid such a great price, so naturally, he wouldn't hide the plan from Xu Guang.

Tie Kuang would challenge Tu Biao to a duel outside the city.

A very crude tactic.

Would Tu Biao fall for it?

Of course he would, because he had enlisted people from the Dark Tower, the real trump card, the real target, is to kill Song Di.

They also needed to hold back Tie Kuang and Lou Kun, the two Innate Experts.

This was a game of cat and mouse.

In each party's eyes, the other was the mouse, while their side was the cat.

Tie Kuang and Lou Kun had already set off for outside Shanping County.

If nothing unexpected happened, the assassins from the Dark Tower would be arriving soon.

Xu Guang curiously watched Song Di sitting calmly at the stone table drinking tea. He smiled and suddenly spoke.

"Young Master Song, the plan is very thorough, but there's one thing I don't quite understand. Tu Biao is shrewd; do they really not know of Xu Mou's existence? What if they don't come?"

Song Di looked at Xu Guang and slowly said.

"Mr. Xu has an impressive record, killing two Seventh-Grade Experts with the Great Beast under your command, one of which was even a Seventh Grade Great Cultivation, but... forgive my bluntness, Seventh-Grade Experts are nothing in the eyes of Innate Experts."

The words were ambiguous, but Xu Guang understood.

His achievements weren't enough; instantly killing Seventh-Grade is indeed impressive, but that's not enough reason for the opponent to affirm he is Innate.

In other words, Tu Biao wouldn't regard him seriously.

Xu Guang was speechless.

Such is the Jianghu; unless you really fight, no one knows how strong the other is. Judging whether someone is Innate based on the speed of slaying Seventh-Grade is, in itself, a joke.

At least someone like Tu Biao has surely seen real geniuses who can instantly kill opponents of the same level at Seventh-Grade.

But even such geniuses would not be a match for Innate opponents.

Xu Guang gave a half-smile to Song Di, "Then why is Young Master Song certain that General Wei is Innate?"

"I'm betting, my uncle seldom misjudges people, Mr. Xu can have the Wine Daoist of Jiufeng Mountain intervene for you, but more importantly, it's Mr. Xu's reputation from the past, I'm willing to wager with ten Spirit Crystals."

Song Di said earnestly.

Such words.

Nothing amiss.

Xu Guang is human too and naturally likes hearing good things.

"Hahaha, talking with Young Master Song truly feels like basking in the spring breeze."
