Chương 107: A Impulsive and Reckless Mind Transforms into True Nature

Chapter 107 A Impulsive and Reckless Mind Transforms into True Nature (5K) The group, who had initially harbored their own agendas, immediately calmed down when they saw that the girl had been assigned to Zhao Rui's "command".

By this time, most of the senior students had already left the team or even the school, each pursuing their own future.

There was no one to help in the third year.

In my sophomore year, I followed Zhao Rui's lead.

It's no exaggeration to say that Zhao Rui, a freshman, is the senior brother of the entire Dongqi martial arts team.

However, he was usually lazy and was currently under punishment, so he wouldn't bother with anything, big or small, unless Wang Zhanshan gave him instructions.

"Senior Brother Cao, I'm entrusting my junior sister's guidance to you."

Zhao Rui patted Cao Guannan on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Seize the opportunity!"

After saying that, he smiled at Shen Xinzhu, then turned and walked out.

Shen Xinzhu was taken aback.

What have I become?

He actually resold it?

A subtle chill flashed across her face. But this chill came and went just as quickly.

"Senior Brother Cao, thank you for your hard work."

Her smile was still bright and beautiful.

"Hmm, hmm! Let me tell you about the basics of our martial arts team first..."

Cao Guannan responded and took on the role of instructor seriously.

It was afternoon.

Zhao Rui was pondering his breakthrough in the meditation room when a clear shout came from outside the fence.

"Zhao Rui, I'm back."

You can tell it's Qin Rui's voice.

Zhao Rui exhaled and finished his practice, then got up and left the room. He immediately saw Senior Sister Qin, dressed in ancient costume with beautiful features.

He immediately laughed and said, "Which fairy has descended to earth? I admire her greatly."

"So, do you want me to be the Snail Fairy or one of the Seven Fairies?"

Qin Rui smiled slightly, her delicate eyebrows arching slightly, making her look more charming than before.

"How about I be your bed warmer?"

Zhao Rui chuckled.

"Pah! Dream on!"

Qin Rui glared at him playfully, knowing that he wouldn't follow her train of thought.

"Honestly, you've lost weight, senior. Have you been working very hard these past few days?"

"Of course it's tough. All day long, we hear the director yell 'cut,' and we have to act out the same scene seven or eight times. We're basically just lying around like corpses."

Qin Rui couldn't help but complain.

"Haha, you like acting, don't you? Did you enjoy it this time?"

Zhao Rui said.

"Thank you so much, you've completely dispelled my idea of becoming an actor. I'd better just find a regular job."

After Qin Rui finished speaking, she suddenly smiled charmingly and said, "I heard you wrote the theme song?"

"Um."

"Can you write love songs?"

"... What are you going to do?"

"Write me one."

After Qin Rui finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows, her pretty face slightly flushed, and said softly, "If you write well, I'll warm your bed tonight."

As she spoke, she even gave him a flirtatious wink and her body began to sway slightly.

"Forehead!"

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes, a flash of black light passing through them, and then, with lightning speed, he grabbed her wrist in an instant.

"What are you doing? You're hurting me!"

Qin Rui frowned and said coquettishly.

Zhao Rui ignored her and instead pulled her hand, leading her towards the meditation room.

"Zhao Rui, what are you doing? This is a school!"

Qin Rui's pretty face flushed red, but she obediently followed in his footsteps.

Once inside the meditation room, Zhao Rui closed the door and said in a deep voice, "Don't speak!"

After saying that, he pulled her to the bedside.

"You, you be gentle, this is my first time!"

Qin Rui was nervous, shy, and a little excited. Her complex emotions left her unsure of what she was doing.

"Shut up! Sit cross-legged!"

Zhao Rui rebuked him speechlessly.

"Huh? There's this position too?"

Qin Rui was stunned!

This goes beyond the scope of a short film. Could it be... Oh, why is he doing this?

But I feel so excited, I really want to try it.

My mind was a jumble of thoughts, but my body had already obediently sat cross-legged.

Without saying a word, Zhao Rui sat cross-legged behind her, placing his palms against her delicate back.

A stream of illusory sound energy, mixed with internal energy, slowly flowed out from the dantian and gradually merged into Qin Rui's body.

"You're not..."

Qin Rui's emotions became complicated, a mixture of disappointment, frustration, and a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Why do I keep thinking about these random things, Qin Rui? What's wrong with you?"

Qin Rui also noticed her own strange behavior. Even if she had feelings for Zhao Rui, it shouldn't be like this.

"Recite the mantra for stillness and movement!"

At this moment, Zhao Rui's voice slowly came from behind.

Qin Rui knew things weren't as she thought; something must have gone wrong. She quickly composed herself and silently recited a calming mantra.

"The mind is at peace, the sky is clear and the clouds are pure; the vast ocean is calm and undisturbed..."

Inside the room facing the wall, the two sat cross-legged, wisps of demonic energy circulating within Qin Rui's body, searching every meridian.

"Found it!"

Zhao Rui's expression hardened; sure enough, there was a problem. He saw a ball of pitch-black true energy attached to a certain acupoint on Qin Rui.

As this true energy circulated through the meridians, it absorbed Qin Rui's internal energy to strengthen itself while simultaneously releasing a strange, black internal energy outwards.

This aura is demonic true energy!

Zhao Rui was greatly alarmed and hurriedly activated his Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound True Qi to begin refining the demonic energy.

Both belong to the source of demonic energy. Zhao Ruitian's Demonic Illusionary Sound Technique has been perfected. If he had not reached the Grandmaster level, his true energy would not have been able to generate itself.

It's only natural to call him "Old Demon".

Even so, it still took him a full half hour to refine the demonic energy and remove it.

Exhaling and finishing his stance, Zhao Rui stretched out of bed, but his face didn't show much relief as he said, "Alright, it's fine now!"

Hearing his words, Qin Rui slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Rui. Seeing his serious expression, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's going on? Why is there a strange internal energy in my body?"

"It must have been a sneak attack."

Zhao Rui said.

"You, how did you..." Qin Rui wanted to say how did you know, but then she thought about it and realized that her flirtatious and coquettish behavior just now must be different from her usual self.

Zhao Rui naturally couldn't fail to see it.

Thinking about those behaviors and inexplicable thoughts she wouldn't normally have had, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

I stole a glance at Zhao Rui; he had striking eyebrows and bright eyes, was incredibly talented, and knew how to care for people…

What if we had cooked the raw rice into cooked rice?

Qin Rui was startled and quickly looked at Zhao Rui in fear, asking in surprise, "Was it not cleaned properly? How come I...?"

"It's all cleaned up!"

Zhao Rui was taken aback. He reached out and grasped her fair wrist, examining it carefully before speaking after a long while.

"oh!"

The reply was barely audible, and Qin Rui's face turned red and she became flustered.

"What kind of people have you met? Was there anything special about them?"

Zhao Rui asked.

"I met a lot of people, mostly actors and staff, no one else. Nothing special."

Qin Rui tried hard to recall.

Zhao Rui frowned. This person's demonic skills were so powerful, he wondered what kind of evil sect's master he was, that he was willing to hide in the film crew.

What is the purpose?

Why would someone secretly harm Qin Rui?

Zhao Rui shook his head; these things were beyond his comprehension and ability.

If someone like the Old Demon really appears, someone will naturally take action.

He's not at that level yet.

The most important thing right now is to strengthen our own capabilities.

"It's alright, don't worry about it, I'm here for you."

Zhao Rui smiled and offered words of comfort.

"understood."

Although Qin Rui didn't know what it was all about, she felt much more at ease knowing that Zhao Rui had said that.

"By the way, do you think Senior Sister Ouyang knows how? And what about Luo Min?"

Qin Rui suddenly remembered that she had gone with Qin Rui and Luo Min.

"I'll go check it out. You should invite Li Xinran and Miao Miaomiao to get together tonight."

Zhao Rui nodded, then went straight to Ouyang Xin's side.

Upon meeting Ouyang Xin, Zhao Rui used an excuse to test her meridians.

There was nothing unusual; clearly, only Qin Rui had been affected.

"Is it only targeting martial artists?"

Zhao Rui seemed to be pondering something.

As evening approached, the sun set in the west, and the afterglow spread across the hills, draping them in a golden veil.

Zhao Rui returned to the meditation room and cultivated for a while longer. Then Qin Rui arrived with Li Xinran and Miao Miaomiao.

"Zhao Rui, you're really despicable, forgetting your friends for a pretty face. Humph."

As soon as Li Xinran saw Zhao Rui, she complained.

"What do you mean by 'perverted'? I'm not only perverted, I'm also his good friend."

"You're just going to be upset!"

Before Zhao Rui could reply, Qin Rui was already giggling and poking her armpits.

"I went out for a while, Qin Rui, you've changed! You don't love me anymore."

Li Xinran lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, wanting to cry but unable to squeeze out any tears.

Although their crying was fake, their frustration was real. They either spent more than a month at the training center or went to a film crew for an experience.

She missed out on everything.

"You still have Old Cao with you!"

Qin Rui chuckled, then asked curiously, "Why isn't Lao Cao here yet?"

Just as he finished speaking, Cao Guannan appeared halfway up the mountain with a girl, chatting and laughing as they walked up.

Everyone stared intently, and it was the new girl named Shen Xinzhu.

Li Xinran and Qin Rui didn't recognize her, so they asked curiously, "Who is she? Old Cao's girlfriend?"

"No, it's a new team member. Her name is Shen Xinzhu."

Zhao Rui said casually.

"New here? At this time?"

Qin Rui and the other woman couldn't help but look at Zhao Rui, shaking their heads and whispering, "I guess it's another genius like you."

As they were talking, Cao Guannan had already brought Shen Xinzhu over.

"Xinzhu said she wasn't familiar with the area, so I brought her along."

Cao Guannan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright, you're welcome, you're welcome. It'll be more fun with more people. Let's go then, I've already booked a restaurant."

Zhao Rui smiled and said.

"Um."

Everyone nodded and walked out of the school together.

On the way, Li Xinran was still quite interested in acting, so she kept asking Qin Rui about the process of acting.

Qin Rui went out and experienced a field she had never been to before, and she was quite willing to share her experiences.

So the rest of the journey was spent listening to them talk about acting.

Others occasionally chimed in, but most of the time it was just the two of them talking.

Shen Xinzhu silently followed beside Cao Guannan, a charming smile on her face, listening attentively.

"Zhao Rui, if you ever have another acting opportunity, you absolutely must save it for me!"

Li Xinran looked at Zhao Rui with hopeful eyes.

"You think this film crew belongs to my family? It's just a coincidence."

"I have faith in you."

"Then you just wait."

Zhao Rui said with a smile.

Hearing their conversation, Shen Xinzhu asked Cao Guannan curiously, "Was this role introduced to you by Zhao Rui?"

"Hmm. It seems so."

Cao Guannan didn't care about such things; all she knew was that Zhao Rui had helped her find the role of Qin Rui.

We don't know anything else.

"Zhao Rui, can I say no?"

Qin Rui overheard their conversation and looked at Zhao Rui with a smile, asking him a question.

"Go ahead and say it, it's not a big deal."

Zhao Rui said indifferently.

"Did you know? After I went to the film set, I found out that Zhao Rui wrote the theme song and insert songs for this drama. Isn't that amazing?"

Qin Rui couldn't wait to share her secret.

"what?"

Everyone was stunned, speechless with astonishment.

"He truly is my good brother!"

Li Xinran grinned, overjoyed. Zhao Rui had really pulled off a fantastic move.

If there's another opportunity in the future, she'll definitely be involved in acting again.

"Wow, Zhao Rui is amazing!"

Everyone gave him a thumbs up.

"Alright, these are minor matters. Don't forget we are martial arts students; becoming a grandmaster is our dream."

Zhao Rui smiled and said.

"I don't care about being a grandmaster, I just want to be an actor."

Li Xinran chuckled.

"You're the one holding us back. You want to be an actor? Fine, I'll keep an eye out for you when you reach level nine."

"Huh! Level nine?"

Li Xinran's body suddenly slumped. Since leaving the martial arts team, she has not yet broken through to level eight.

They had already distanced themselves from the others.

"Okay, I'll give it my all to become an actor!"

Li Xinran clenched her fist, full of enthusiasm.

Soon everyone arrived at the restaurant, where they enjoyed a unique meal and drinks.

……

The temperature in Dongqi Province at night is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

Inside a two-story Western-style building.

Inside a modified secret room.

Shen Xinzhu sat upright on a futon, with several small incense burners in front of her, emitting wisps of smoke.

The secret room was surrounded by all sorts of strangely shaped talismans with bizarre and illegible patterns.

The entire secret room was dark, but the swirling smoke and eerie patterns combined to create a bizarre and colorful spectacle.

"Saintess!"

Someone called softly from outside the secret room.

"Come in!"

Shen Xinzhu closed her eyes and slightly parted her rosy lips.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the secret room opened automatically, and a beautiful woman walked in.

If Zhao Rui were here, he would definitely recognize her; she is none other than the long-absent Youyou.

"I am not a saint yet. When we are out in the world, you can just call me Xinzhu."

Shen Xinzhu slightly opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"yes!"

Youyou respectfully agreed, then added, "According to information from personnel in various provinces, there are suspected cases of people from outside Sichuan Province, but the specific details are unclear."

"Yes, Master's words have come true. The spiritual energy in the world is gradually becoming more abundant, and the spiritual abyss is becoming more and more numerous. I'm afraid that within five years, the martial arts world will undergo a great change."

"Holy Maiden, we should..."

"The trend of the times cannot be defied, and it is precisely the time for us to change the world. There are only so many resources in the world; it is time to redistribute them."

"What the saint says is very true."

"Alright, go down now. You need to increase your contact with Zhao Rui. I'm afraid I won't make any progress on my end for the time being."

"Yes, Holy Maiden!"

She gave a soft reply, then bowed and left the secret chamber.

"Master said that Zhao Rui not only survived the battle between many masters of the righteous and demonic paths, but also turned the tide. He must be a person with great fortune."

"Let me stay by his side, assess the situation, and use his influence to cultivate myself."

"But he's only at the True Transformation Realm, how could he possibly help me?"

Seeing the secret chamber door close again, Shen Xinzhu pondered for a moment before closing her eyes again, making hand seals, and her true energy flowed around her.

Wisps of smoke rose from the altar in front of them, suddenly transforming into sharp swords of smoke that shot towards the talismans hanging on the walls.

In an instant, it left behind a series of tiny marks.

Then, without dissipating the smoke and dust, it actually moved straight down horizontally by about an inch.

It turns out that the characters on these talismans were drawn by her using her true energy.

The night was still and calm!

The chirping of insects all night long!

A sliver of morning light shone through the cracks into the room, reflecting off Zhao Rui's still-youthful face.

He exhaled a long breath and awoke from his meditation.

After another long period of contemplation, Zhao Rui seemed to have touched that thin barrier, as if he could break through it once a certain opportunity presented itself.

But he didn't know what the trigger was.

Through skill point allocation, his internal energy level has already far surpassed the peak of the Transformation Scripture.

With twenty-eight acupoints opened throughout his body, the speed at which external true qi flowed into his body was already enough for him to unleash the power of true qi at the grandmaster level without even reaching the grandmaster realm.

This level of skill is comparable to that of Captain Gu, who has already left the team.

What was the opportunity?

Zhao Rui frowned and pondered.

After pondering for a long time, he solemnly stood up and pushed open the door to the meditation room.

Facing the rising sun, I look into the distance.

Having been reborn into this life, what are the shackles in my heart?

The path of martial arts is long and uncertain. What is the purpose of climbing this path?

Zhao Rui remained silent and walked straight ahead. Without purpose or reason.

Let go of your worries and move forward with ease.

Passing through Mingchan Courtyard, leaving the campus of Dongqi University, I walked on the spacious and empty suburban road.

As the sun rose higher, its warmth shone on him, like a pair of large hands caressing his delicate body.

It was as if a primordial infant had been born, greedily enjoying the warmth of the world.

Zhao Rui continued on his way.

More and more people are walking on the street. Some are taking their children to school, some are going out to work, and some are having breakfast by the roadside.

The busy, bustling morning is filled with the warmth and vibrancy of everyday life.

In his previous life, he lived a mediocre life, striving for honor, for life, and for his family for more than ten years, but due to his talent, he ended his life in disappointment.

Having been reborn into this life, I feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and comprehend the true meaning of martial arts. Compared to my previous life, I am so carefree and at ease.

freely!

Zhao Rui's eyes brightened slightly, looking relaxed and content!

Where my heart leads, that is the path ahead.

What about the Transformation Realm? What about the Grandmaster Realm?

Zhao Rui's internal energy surged continuously, his twenty-eight acupoints connected with heaven and earth, and true energy flowed into his body in an endless stream.

It gradually spread throughout the limbs and bones, surging endlessly with the internal energy.

Zhao Rui's mind was filled with all the martial arts techniques he had learned, and whatever he thought of, he immediately unleashed.

The internal energy within his body gradually shifted from the Free and Unfettered Divine Skill to the Seven Star Divine Skill, and then from the Seven Star Divine Skill to the Heavenly Demon Illusionary Sound Technique.

Then, the Illusionary Sound Technique transformed it into the Six-Elemental Immortal True Qi.

As he walked, his aura flickered in and out of existence, and his pace quickened.

The passersby around him only felt that the person in front of them was blurry, and no one paid any attention to his existence anymore.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, all that came into view were fields of tender green.

The surging true energy around him suddenly dissipated, and even the true energy absorbed into his acupoints vanished the instant it was inhaled.

However, Zhao Rui was still in the process of comprehending the truth and did not notice the disappearance of his true energy.

He was still circulating his inner energy.

"Make way! Make way! The cow is running away!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from behind.

A large yellow ox galloped excitedly towards Zhao Rui.

Fifty meters, twenty meters, ten meters!

"Watch out!"

The person behind him cried out in alarm, but Zhao Rui remained deaf to their cries.

"Eight meters, five meters! Three meters, one meter!"

Just as the bull's head was about to strike, Zhao Rui suddenly dodged, avoiding its body, and with a gentle grab of his right hand, he had already seized one of the bull's horns.

With a slight exertion of force, he subdued the rampaging bull to the ground.

"Mu Wu" The ox let out a helpless howl.

The person behind them was stunned by the scene, and after a long while, he hurriedly tied the rope to the cow's head.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

After he finished leading the person, he quickly apologized, but after only a couple of words, he looked up and the person was nowhere to be seen!
