C9 Dog-jumping Wall

A group of people surrounded the entrance of the Empire of Dongping's capital academy, it was bustling with noise and excitement.

Du Xing had thought that his poison would work, but he did not expect that Ye Yun would play with everything he had, causing him to be at a loss as to how to deal with it.

That was a life wager. He did not doubt the authenticity of the matter that Ye Yun had drawn out the tenth grade spirit diagram during the Enlightenment Trial. With the presence of Dongfang Pingtai, no one dared to play any tricks, not to mention Dongfang Yi Xue. The reason why he had objected from the start was because he had accepted Sun Shiyuan's gift to convict Ye Yun.

Since Ye Yun could draw a tenth grade spirit diagram in the examination hall, he must be able to do it too. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life.

When Du Xing thought of this, he obviously wouldn't joke around with his own life. He snorted and said, "A tenth rank spirit diagram is nothing. If you can draw a twelfth rank spirit diagram, then I'll give my life to you!"

If you can use it, I can use it as well. If you can use it to bet, then I can modify whatever you want. But since I don't dare to agree to your suggestion, then do you dare to agree to it?

Dong Fang Yi Xue said angrily, "Du Xuanzhou, you're too much. How can a twelve-rank spirit diagram be created just by drawing it? Even the doctors and overseers in our capital academy don't have many people who can do this."

Like prefectural and county studies, the Chinese studies were all managed by the Holy Temple. Dongfang Pingtai served as the priest of the Holy Temple, and at the same time he held the post of wine sacrifice at the National Academy. He was equivalent to the principal, and the staff members of the Ministry of Education, Doctor, Mentor and Assistant Mentor all came from the Holy Temple.

Du Xing was appointed by the imperial government. He was not the same person as the Eastern Pingtai holy temple faction, so he naturally didn't need to pee in one pot. He would often make small talk with the authorities and cause trouble.

Not only was Dongfang Yi Xue from the holy temple, she was also Dongfang Pingtai's granddaughter. As such, she could not bear to see Du Xing any longer and would tear off their relationship in front of everyone.

Besides, she was the one who had discovered Ye Yun. She had helped him become a great sacrificial master, so she had to be responsible for him and ensure his safety.

Du Xing hated Dongfang Pingtai and his granddaughter. He had always been excluded here, and it was all thanks to the old man from the east. It was intolerable that Dongfang Yi Xue, who had just assumed the position of overseer, would dare to contradict him in front of so many people!

Just then, Ye Yun spoke up, "I'll bet with you."

Dong Fang Yi Xue's eyes widened. "Ye Yun, you've gone mad. This matter shall end here. I will get someone to call Grandfather out to mediate this matter."

Du Xing said darkly, "Eastern Education Overseer, what does my wager with Ye Yun have to do with you? "Ye Yun Yang, you've agreed to it just now. Since a man is unable to keep up with his responsibilities, I shall take the brush, ink, and paper. You should start pouring the ink now!"

Yi Xue was extremely anxious. However, Ye Yun said with a relaxed tone, "Grand Priestess Dongfang, I would like to ask you to prepare some ink and paper for me. I really do not trust this Governor, and I dare not use his things."

The two of them made a bet based on their mutual wishes. Seeing that there was nothing that could be done, Dong Fang Yi Xue said helplessly, "You … Sigh, alright, that's all I can do for you. Go get the best pen, ink, paper and paint. "

A few minutes later, the Xuan paper was spread out on the table for the new students. Pens, ink, paint, palette, brush wash, and other tools were available.

Du Xing used a mocking tone as he said, "Eastern Education Overseer really did invest a lot of money. A standard three feet cold moon drawing paper is worth more than ten taels of gold. That should be the Celestial Shriek Wolf's brush, as well as the Earth Dragon's blood ink and mountain essence pigment. They are all valuable items that cannot be sold in the market."

Dong Fang Yi Xue harrumphed and said, "I'm willing, but what can you do about it?"

She remembered that when Ye Yun had drawn out the tenth grade spirit diagram at the examination site, her grandfather had said that if he could exchange it for a better brush, ink and paper, it would likely be the twelfth grade. In order to increase the success rate, she had brought back all her trump cards.

Ye Yun gave her a grateful look and picked up the Howling Firmament Wolf brush. This was a medium and long pointed brush that mainly used the neck hair of the Howling Firmament Wolf, complemented by the hair of a spirit badger. The two had just achieved a perfect combination, one soft, and one soft.

First, he had to moisten the brush in clear water and carefully squeeze out the excess water. Then, he would dip it into the ink and write on the paper.

Eastern Yi Xue had the same feeling as the last time. From the moment Ye Yun had picked up the brush, his aura had changed. It was a disposition that only a master would have.

This time, he was still drawing the [Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting]. There was no other way around, he had only seen this Spirit Diagram before. Compared to the last time, he was more experienced.

He pointed, stopped, dragged, trembled, turned, and executed the brush techniques one after the other. The so-called experts knew the answer the moment they made their move. The spectators couldn't help but click their tongues in praise.

Du Xing wasn't worried at all. He was well aware of how difficult it was to draw a set of twelve spirit diagrams. He had to make sure that there wasn't a single flaw in it. Even a small flaw would cause the painting to be greatly reduced.

He didn't believe that someone would be able to complete a painting under pressure. Even if he managed to complete it with great effort, the grade of the painting wouldn't be too high. However, as the content on the drawing paper increased, his heart began to feel better. Ye Yun completed the ink drawing extremely quickly. The next step was to color it and there were still no flaws.

The "Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting" was an opening spirit diagram. The content within it was relatively small, and the ink and water portion was very large. Under normal circumstances, after completing the ink section, the next step would be much simpler.

Draw the sun with rattan yellow, stone green to render the mountain trees, green to paint the gentle feeling of water waves, a perfect transformation on paper.

Du Xing's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat. If this continued, this painting would become a twelve-rank saint artifact. He couldn't sit still and wait for death. He had to think of a way.

He put his right hand, which was clenched into a fist, behind his back and punched towards Ye Weixing without any warning.

Ye Weixing was just an ordinary person, how could he withstand a punch from a cultivator. He screamed out in pain, "Ah!"

Ye Yun's brush trembled, leaving a tiny blemish on the drawing paper.

Everyone stared at Ye Weixing with furious eyes. When a fighter was painting, deliberately shouting was a very despicable action.

Du Xing was also glaring at him, which meant completely different from the others. He was threatening Ye Weixing to not talk too much.

Of course, Ye Weixing did not dare to speak the truth. A faint smile crept onto Du Xing's face. He had seen it clearly just now; there was a flaw in Ye Yun's painting. It was impossible for it to reach the saint rank.

He looked at Ye Yun, calmly finishing his last stroke and finally raising his head to look at him with a complicated gaze.

Du Xing thought to himself, it's useless even if you look at me. The one who cried out like a ghost is Ye Weixing, no one saw me punching him, what can you do?

Ye Yun washed the paint on the brush and said, "Du Xuezheng, can I inscribe something on this painting?"

"Of course you can. After all, this is the last painting in your life. It would be better to have it by name. This academy will definitely collect it properly." Du Xing grinned fiendishly and said, "In the future, using it to educate young people should be a good example."

Ye Yun ignored his ugly expression and dipped his brush into the ink, writing the words "Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting" in standard script at the upper left corner of the paper.

With these five words, the entire painting seemed to have 'come alive', and it seemed to be filled with vitality.

"How can this be!" Du Xing couldn't accept it. It was clearly a flawed work, but why did it suddenly change its appearance after adding five words?!

In order to prevent Du Xing from making another mistake, Yi Xue immediately took out a square testing spirit stone and placed it on the screen. The image emitted a golden red light, representing Saint Rank 12.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Du Xing shook his head as he backed away, unable to accept the reality before him.

Dong Fang Yi Xue said arrogantly, "Du Xuanzhou, your bet with Ye Yun has already been presented in front of everyone. Isn't it about time you paid the stake?"

Du Xing's face was ferocious as he said, "If you set up a trap to harm me, I won't admit this result! "Ye Yun Yang, I'll kill you. I won't become a laughing stock if you die!"

With that, he swung his arms and pounced towards Ye Yun.

Dong Fang Yi Xue wanted to stop him, but she had never cultivated to fight against a god. She couldn't stop Du Xing, who was in the cultivation realm. She was sent flying a few meters back with a palm strike.

If she was not a match for him, Ye Yun would not be able to fight back at all.

In the nick of time, a black figure shot out from the side and sent Du Xing flying with a palm strike, heavily smashing the stone wall next to the door.

The person who had come was Dongfang Pingtai. Ye Yun had escaped danger and rushed towards Yi Xue, crying out for her protection.

"Du Xing, since you've lost in the gambling match, you should kill yourself to thank the world." Dongfang Pingtai said in a stern voice, "But you didn't do it. On the contrary, you want to kill the people who gambled and vent your anger. You are worse than pigs and dogs. I, as the national scholar, will never allow such a thing to happen."

Du Xing spat out a mouthful of blood, and his expression became even more sinister: "Old man Dongfang, I advise you to not meddle in other people's business, otherwise, we'll kill you too! "Don't think that you're amazing just because you're a rank 3 priest. Facing you head on isn't a match for me."

Dongfang Pingtai sneered, "Really? Then let's give it a try!"

Then, he started to chant in a low voice, "Great god Chi You of the ancient times, please grant me your supreme power, and destroy the enemies in front of you …"

Du Xing once again widened his eyes. "You … You're actually training in... "The god of Chi You, the master fighter!"

There were five types of gods that Magi cultivated in: main battle, elixir, artificer, formation, and talisman. Very few people would put their energy into the main battle god, choosing elixir, artificer, or talisman.

Following the completion of the spell, a twenty zhang long Chi You Divine Halberd appeared out of thin air and flew towards Du Xing.

Du Xing was shocked, he had no time to dodge and could only raise his arms to block. However, he was unable to block the halberd. First, his arms were cut off at their roots, and then his head was separated from his body.

After a dead body fell to the ground, Dongfang Pingtai blandly said, "Why can't I study the gods of war?"

Then, he turned around and said with dissatisfaction, "Brat, I've endured you for a long time. If you dare to eat my granddaughter's tofu again, you'll be the second Du Xing!"

Ye Yun blushed as he let go of the beautiful Grand Priestess' waist and said in embarrassment, "I was really scared just now. I swear it was not on purpose, don't be angry."

Looking at Yi Xue from the east, her face flushed so red it could drip water. She was confused as to why she had not dodged when Ye Yun charged over and had allowed him to hug her.
