"Alright, who wants to give it a try?"
The Ruler of Heart glanced at the crowd and asked.
The dojo fell silent. No one spoke.
The Ruler of Heart frowned after waiting for less than three breaths. He said, "What's wrong with you all? Don't you even have the courage to try? Fine, since none of you are taking the initiative, I'll go first. Who's the direct descendant of the Xie Clan? Step forward. "
Xie Siyi's heart skipped a beat. He took a few steps forward and asked cautiously, "Senior Xinruo, are you talking to me?"
The Ruler of Heart glanced at Qin Nan and said, "Mm, it's you. I heard from the elders that your Martial Arts Talent is quite impressive. Let me take a look."
Xie Siyi was startled hearing this.
He did not expect the Ruler of Heart to have heard of him.
Originally, Xie Siyi's heart was a little conflicted. He didn't want to be the first to stand out.
The reason being that he had no idea what the Ruler of Heart was, or what the criteria were, etc. He wanted to see how the others were doing, so he would be prepared.
However, as of now...
If he performed well, the Ruler of Heart would surely have a better impression of him. He might even be able to befriend the Ruler of Heart.
Befriending the Ruler of Heart was no less important than befriending the Heaven Highness!
It might even be better!
"Why should I be afraid? Even though my talent is nowhere close to Senior Xinruo's, it shouldn't be a problem for me to meet his criteria. "
Thinking of this, Xie Si's heart calmed down, and she relaxed a lot.
"Senior Xinruo, I've come up with a move and the general outline of a Martial Art in the past ten years. Can I use them together?"
Xie Siyi brought his fists together and asked.
"Of course."
The Ruler of Heart nodded.
"Sure!"
Xie Siyi held her breath and concentrated. Then, her aura burst out in all directions.
"The art I've come up with is called the Sword of Luo River!"
Xie Siyi said as he took out an immortal sword from his storage bag. His figure shuddered and transformed into hundreds of blurry shadows that flickered in the air. Countless blue sword flowers were produced in the air.
Hualala!
Even though there was no ocean, lake, or river, the dojo was filled with the sound of waves splashing. The eyes of the cultivators were filled with astonishment, as if they were being drowned by the water, causing them to break out in cold sweat.
"Xie Siyi's Martial Dao talent is indeed not bad."
Qin Nan nodded slightly.
"Now, this is the general outline of the cultivation technique I created. I'll call it the Flying Heavens Scripture!"
Xie Siyi's sword momentum that filled the sky suddenly retracted into her body. She sat down cross-legged, and her aura became incomparably calm.
He began to chant as his hands continued to form hand seals. A mysterious aura was emitted from his body and swept across the crowd like a gentle breeze.
"This Xie Siyi is really powerful!"
"Who would have thought that he had already started to create his own cultivation method!"
"Xie Siyi will definitely be able to pass if she creates her own spell and the general principles of her own cultivation method!"
The cultivators could not help but exclaim upon seeing this. Their eyes were filled with envy as they looked at Xie Siyi.
Everyone knew how difficult it was to create one's own cultivation method. The most difficult part was the general principles.
If the general principles were already created, it would be easier to deduce the rest of the cultivation method based on the general principles.
"My current Martial Dao talent is indeed not as good as Xie Siyi's. I'm surely going to lose."
Gu Fei clenched his fists in the corner.
Even though the Peerless Treasure Beasts were already outstanding since they were born, many of their abilities and the power of their lineage would only reach the peak of the Peerless Treasure Beasts after they grew up.
"But even if I'm going to lose, I can't just admit defeat like that …"
Gu Fei glanced at Qin Nan's figure. After calming down, he knew that Qin Nan was doing it for his own good, but there was still a barrier in his heart that he could not understand.
"What's your name?"
The Heart-Like Ruler spoke.
"I'm Xie Siyi, Xie Xun's grandson."
Xie Siyi blurted out.
Meanwhile, the joy in his heart grew even stronger.
He had already asked for his name. He must have passed the test!
"Oh, Xie Siyi …"
The Heart-Like Ruler dragged out his tone. His face turned cold as he spoke without concealing the disdain in his eyes, "What the hell did you just take out? Is the descendant of the Xie Clan really that useless? "
The dojo fell silent upon hearing the words. Even the sound of a pin dropping to the ground could be heard.
The cultivators were dumbfounded. They could not believe their ears.
Even Qin Nan was startled.
"Se … senior, what … what do you mean?"
Xie Siyi's mind went blank. He had fallen from Heaven to Hell. He was completely stunned.
"What do I mean? Do you still think I'm not being straightforward enough? Even the spell you created, and the general principles, they're all trash! And you still dare to use them in front of me? "
The Heart-Like Ruler spoke without hesitation. His words were as sharp as knives.
"Trash … trash?" Xie Siyi's heart violently shook. Then, a nameless fire almost subconsciously erupted. He also subconsciously asked in a stern voice, "Senior Xinruo, what is the meaning of this? Even though the art I came up with and the general principles of the art I came up with is incomparable to yours, it's still as you mentioned.
Is it really that useless? "
Many cultivators agreed that the Heart-Like Ruler had gone too far with his words.
"Yo, you're still not convinced? Fine, I'll convince you. "
"I've seen a hundred and seven flaws in your Sword of Luo River! Let's not talk about it. You're a Ruler of Dao, yet the art you came up with is only comparable to an Immortal Art! "
"You've spent so much time and effort just to come up with an Immortal Art? Are you trying to promote the Martial Path? You just created it yourself, and you want to get more praise and recognition. You're just fishing for fame! "
"By the way, what do you mean by coming up with your own art? Every Martial Art has its own core. It's one of a kind! However, the general principles of the Martial Art you came up with contains the core of the Yang-Seeking God Canon! Does that count as coming up with your own art? "
The Heart-Like Ruler snapped. His words were like claps of thunder. The whole dojo began to tremble slightly.
Xie Siyi's face immediately turned pale.
As a Ruler of Dao, how could he not know what a self-created art was? The Martial Art he came up with was indeed based on the core of the Yang-Seeking God Canon. It could not be considered a self-created art.
However, the Yang-Seeking God Canon was extremely rare. He initially thought the Heart-Like Ruler would not be able to find it...

"Back off! Next. "
The Heart-Like Ruler's eyes flickered with disgust as he waved his hand.
If he wasn't under the control of the Sacred Martial Sect, he would not mind teaching Xie Siyi a lesson.
How dare he play dirty in front of him with such little strength?
Was he looking down on him?
The trial continued.
Regardless of who took the initiative to step forward, the Heart-Like Ruler simply reached out his hand and pointed at the person who stepped forward.
In less than half the period it took an incense to burn, Lin Chengqi and the rest of the geniuses took part in the trial too, but they were greatly disappointed in the end.
Some of them were tested for their Martial Dao Talent, some were tested for their Martial Arts, some were tested for the Heart-Like Ruler to execute a move so that they could learn it on the spot, etc. They tried everything they could think of, but they were all rejected by the Heart-Like Ruler.
"Oh my, the people of the Sacred Martial Sect are indeed trying to stop us from passing the fourth trial. The Heart-Like Ruler has such high requirements. I'm afraid none of us will be able to pass the trial apart from Chen Fenghuo who got in through the back door. "
Ji Xuan smacked his lips. His eyes flickered as a thought crossed his mind. He transmitted his voice to Qin Nan, "By the way, Brother Lin, you can use the demonic art too! By then, no matter how high the Heart-Like Ruler's standards are, he will be obedient too. "
Qin Nan shook his head and said, "I don't want to attract too much attention for now."
Ji Xuan shrugged. "Then we'll have to participate in the fourth trial."
Qin Nan didn't respond. Instead, he began to ponder.
How would he pass the Heart-Like Ruler's trial?
Test for Martial Dao Talent?
Or …
"You, come here, it's your turn."
The Heart-Like Ruler casually extended a hand and pointed at Qin Nan.
"Haha, is there a need for a spineless person like you to participate in this trial? Don't go and humiliate yourself! "
Xie Siyi, who had been standing on the other side, mocked.
He had been humiliated by the Heart-Like Ruler, so he had a belly full of anger. However, he couldn't vent his anger on the Heart-Like Ruler, so he couldn't hold back when he saw Qin Nan.
In the distance, Gu Fei shook his head and withdrew his gaze.
Qin Nan didn't even dare to duel with Xie Siyi, so how could he pass the Heart-Like Ruler's trial?
"Senior Heart-Like Ruler, may I ask you a question?"
Qin Nan ignored Xie Siyi and everyone else's gazes and cupped his fists.
"Hurry up and ask. Don't waste my time."
The Heart-Like Ruler said impatiently.
"I've practiced the Force of Will for some time, so I'm quite familiar with your background. If I may be so bold as to ask, have you created the Heart Severing Sword? "
Qin Nan probed.
He had only asked as he recalled the scene when he stumbled into Huangfu Jue in the Demon Valley.
Perhaps the Heart-Like Ruler was the same as Huangfu Jue?
If so …
That would be interesting!
That being said, Qin Nan did not have high hopes. If it wasn't possible, he would take the Martial Talent Test instead.
"Heart-Severing Sword? What's that? "
The Heart-Like Ruler was confused.
"You haven't invented it?"
Qin Nan's heart shuddered.
"Cough cough, I've comprehended the Force of Will, so I've invented a move called the Heart-Severing Sword. Shall I show it to you?"
Qin Nan said embarrassedly.
Even though it was quite satisfying, the person in question was standing right in front of him, and he was going to be an authority in the future. If he were to show off in front of him …
Forget it, it felt right to do so!
"Oh? You've invented a move with the Force of Will? Why don't you show it to me? "
The Heart-Like Ruler wore a cold grin.
It should be known that using the power of one's mind to create one's own magical technique was much more difficult than creating one's own magical techniques.
Even the Heart-Like Ruler had only invented three moves so far.
In his eyes, Qin Nan was just like Xie Siyi, who had stumbled into a rare move and merged it with his will to alter it just so he could get away with it.
This group of people really didn't learn from their mistakes!
It seemed that no matter what, he would have to make a move and give these people a deterrent!
"You're asking for it! Do you really think you can invent a move with the Force of Will with your Martial Talent? "
Xie Siyi and the others uttered hollow laughs in their hearts.
Their thoughts were the same as the Heart-Like Ruler's. They could almost see the Heart-Like Ruler losing his temper.
"Lin Xiaozhi, what are you doing? Don't be like Xie Siyi, the Heart-Like Ruler has a bad temper. If he knows you're lying to him, he's going to lose his temper … "
Gu Fei who was standing in the corner did not want to waste his time, but he could not bear to watch it and blurted out.
"Don't worry."
Qin Nan let out a smile as he unleashed the force of his will and sprang into the sky.
"Oh? Your Force of Will is quite impressive. "
The Heart-Like Ruler was slightly surprised, but his expression calmed down slightly.
Just based on this point, he could go easy on him later.
"Senior Heart-Like Ruler, take a good look, this is the Heart-Slashing Slash!"
Qin Nan unleashed his aura as his Force of Will formed an illusionary saber slashing at the Heart-Like Ruler.
BANG!
A magnificent saber intent burst out from the saber and surged forward.
It was illusionary, yet it was real. It was able to leave no trace behind, or shatter the sky with lightning!
A few breaths later, the saber intent dissipated as Qin Nan's aura calmed down.
The dojo fell silent.
"HAHAHA!"
Xie Siyi, Lin Chengqi, and the rest of the cultivators burst out laughing in their hearts.
Wasn't this guy being too stupid!?
How could the Heart-Like Ruler not know about such a powerful Force of Will?
"Sigh!"
Gu Fei let out a sigh.
To his surprise, he tried to persuade Qin Nan again, but Qin Nan still did not listen to him.
Perhaps he should seriously consider following Qin Nan.
"Was … was the slash you executed … the Heart-Slashing Slash?"
However, the Heart-Like Ruler remained in place with a blank expression.
"That's right, it's the Heart-Slashing Slash."
Qin Nan nodded confidently.
"Holy crap!"
"This … this …"
"Did you really invent it?"
