As someone who had lived through two lives, the Art of God and Demon Obliteration had always been a secret art that Wang Chong had hoped to obtain.
The reason why Wang Chong and So Jung-son had been playing chess for the past few months was to win the favor of this war god and learn the Art of God and Demon Obliteration!
However, Wang Chong knew that this secret art wasn't that easy to obtain.
He was definitely not the first, nor would he be the last, on the path to obtaining the Art of God and Demon Obliteration. So many princes and grandsons had been rejected.
Wang Chong didn't think that So Jung-son would give it to him so easily.
Thus, from the very start, Wang Chong didn't think that it would be easy for him to obtain it.
But what if?
What if So Jung-son's gift wasn't a white stone but the Art of God and Demon Obliteration?
Just thinking about the possibility made Wang Chong's heart tremble in agitation.
Last night, when the Turks attacked and dozens of master archers surrounded White Tiger Peak, Wang Chong's emotions hadn't been so agitated. But at this moment, Wang Chong found it hard to maintain his composure.
Ssss!
Wang Chong took in a deep breath, his heart filled with apprehension. Then, he sent a stream of Origin Energy through his finger and into the jade-like white chess piece that was the size of a pin.
Weng!
This short instant felt like centuries to Wang Chong. The white stone was completely silent, as though nothing had happened.
"Could it be that I misunderstood?"
Wang Chong raised his head. Even though his face was expressionless, his heart couldn't help but waver.
As expected, the Art of God and Demon Obliteration wasn't that easy to obtain!
The reason why Elder Su Zhengchen gave him a white stone was because he hoped that he wouldn't stray down the wrong path and focus on doing good!
It was just that he was overthinking things!
Even as Wang Chong's eyes dimmed and filled with disappointment, rumbling could be heard from deep within the white chess piece.
In Wang Chong's eyes, the small white Go piece suddenly underwent an earth-shattering change. It no longer felt like a Go piece, but like it had suddenly transformed into a limitless space.
And in the depths of this space, a sharp, austere, and domineering will swept through everything. It was filled with a will that could crush all the Gods and Buddhas in the Heavens, and all living things in the world. Through the finger, it violently rushed into Wang Chong's mind.
Wang Chong's body stiffened, and he couldn't move under the effect of this enormous sword intent.
"Life Massacre Art!"
Along with this sharp and solemn sword intent, a mantra he had never seen before suddenly appeared in Wang Chong's mind. Although this mantra only had a hundred words, what it revealed was a terrifying sword intent that even Wang Chong had never experienced in his previous life.
That's right!
His guess was right! So, the white Go piece that Senior Jung-son had given him indeed contained something else.
In that instant, Wang Chong was overjoyed.
"This is great!"
Wang Chong clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with exhilaration.
The Art of God and Demon Obliteration and the Great Yin-Yang Creation Art of Heaven and Earth were the two ultimate skills that he had wanted the most in his previous life.
The Great Yin-Yang Creation Art of Heaven and Earth could rapidly gather Origin Qi, allowing him to break through realms at the fastest speed, while the Art of God and Demon Obliteration could unleash 200% of the gathered Origin Qi.
With these two ultimate skills, his plans for the martial way were basically complete.
"Something's not right!"
Just as Wang Chong was overwhelmed with joy and surprise, Wang Chong suddenly frowned. He finally felt that something was wrong.
"Art of God and Demon Obliteration? Isn't it the Art of God and Demon Obliteration? "
Wang Chong finally felt that something was amiss. Although it also started with "common people", it seemed that the mantra that appeared out of nowhere in his mind was not the legendary "Art of God and Demon Obliteration" that he had imagined.
Wang Chong confirmed again. That's right! It was not the Art of God and Demon Obliteration, but the Art of God and Demon Obliteration.
"That's weird!"
Wang Chong frowned slightly and immediately quietened down. Wang Chong knew that this matter was not what he had imagined.
So Jung-son had indeed given him a ultimate skill, but it did not seem to be what he had imagined.
"Art of God and Demon Obliteration? What is that? "
Wang Chong lowered his head, his eyes revealing a look of reminiscence. There were many legends about So Jung-son, and they were all very detailed.
He did not even need to rely on the memories of his previous life to find out a lot from the people. However, there did not seem to be the existence of the Art of God and Demon Obliteration in all the legends.
What kind of ultimate skill was this?
Could it be that So Jung-son had comprehended it recently? Or was it a secret ultimate skill that he had never used in front of others?
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, as though he had thought of something, Wang Chong's eyes shone with a strange light.
"Art of God and Demon Obliteration? Art of God and Demon Obliteration? Common people, ghosts and gods … Could it be that these two ultimate arts are actually the same? "
Wang Chong suddenly recalled the 'Little Yinyang Art' and 'Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art'. They were both renowned supreme arts of the Central Plains, but the 'Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art' had to be cultivated from the 'Little Yinyang Art'.
Whether it was his master, The Evil Emperor, or that traitorous senior brother, they were all the same. The Little Yinyang Art was the basic version, while the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was the evolved version, the perfect version.
Could it be that the Art of God and Demon Obliteration was the same?
As he thought of this, Wang Chong's eyes gradually brightened. The more Wang Chong thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
The Art of God and Demon Obliteration and the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art were on the same level. If the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was the same, then the Art of God and Demon Obliteration might be the same as well.
Inexplicably, Wang Chong suddenly recalled a matter. After So Jung-son passed away, there was a rumor that So Jung-son's Art of God and Demon Obliteration was actually a fusion of two ultimate skills.
However, this rumor wasn't very convincing, and it didn't have much substance to it. Thus, no one believed it back then.
But at this moment, Wang Chong started to believe it.
"There's no mistake, that must be the case! So Jung-son was in the Ghost Tree District to look for a successor to the Art of God and Demon Obliteration. It's impossible for him to suddenly give me an unimportant ultimate skill! "
The more Wang Chong thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
His cultivation was still too low, and he was only at Origin Energy Tier 7 at the moment. Even though he could be considered to be above average compared to his peers, it was clear that he wasn't at the level where he could cultivate those ultimate skills.
Even if So Jung-son gave him the Art of God and Demon Obliteration, he wouldn't be able to cultivate it. This was similar to how his master, The Evil Emperor, didn't give him the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art but the Little Yinyang Art instead.
"… Great, the few months I spent wasn't in vain. Everything wasn't in vain! "
Wang Chong was delighted.
Even though he had only obtained the elementary Art of God and Demon Obliteration, it was already a huge harvest for Wang Chong.
If So Jung-son was willing to impart the Art of God and Demon Obliteration to him, it was entirely possible that he would impart the Art of God and Demon Obliteration to him in the future.
"However, why did Elder Su change his mind so easily?"
After the joy, Wang Chong slightly creased his brow, a look of confusion in his eyes. The difficulty of obtaining the Art of God and Demon Obliteration was well known in his previous life. In Wang Chong's memory, there were plenty of talented and intelligent individuals who were accepted by So Jung-son as his disciple. Even after going through all sorts of trials, they were still chased out of the sect.
If the Art of God and Demon Obliteration was that easy to impart, it wouldn't have been lost in his previous life. There wouldn't have been so many princes, scions, nobles, and martial arts geniuses who would feel dejected over it.
Although he had played chess with Su Zhengchen for several months and had expended no small amount of energy, Wang Chong was well aware that compared to his' seniors', this little bit of effort he had expended was insignificant.
So Jung-son would make an exception and impart the Art of God and Demon Obliteration to him so easily?
"Could it be because of the regional commanders incident?"
Suddenly, as though recalling something, Wang Chong fell into deep thought. Come to think of it, the only reason why So Jung-son would suddenly make an exception and impart the beginner version of the Art of God and Demon Obliteration to him could only be because of this incident.
So Jung-son was a loyal subject of the Tang dynasty, the God of War of the Central Plains. Even though he was suspected by the royal court for half his life, So Jung-son's loyalty remained unwavering.
Even to the point of his death, he died on the battlefield in order to save the people.
For such a respected existence, it was impossible for him to choose a disciple based on talent alone. There must be other factors involved.
It seemed like the memorial he submitted for the regional commanders incident was just an unintentional stab in the back. This was the only explanation for So Jung-son's' special treatment 'of him.
"… To think that I would receive the acknowledgement of that person because of the regional commanders incident!"
Wang Chong thought through the entire situation and couldn't help but sigh.
When he wrote that memorial, he was only thinking about preventing a future tragedy. He didn't think about So Jung-son's matter at all, but he didn't expect that he would receive the acknowledgement of this great war god.
If not for this coincidence, he probably wouldn't be able to reap any benefits even if he accompanied him for the next half a year. However, Wang Chong was well aware that So Jung-son's test wouldn't be so simple.
If he wanted to obtain the complete advanced version of the Art of God and Demon Obliteration, he would have to put in a lot more effort.
"No matter what, I will definitely obtain the complete Art of God and Demon Obliteration."
Wang Chong quickly calmed down. He clenched the white chess piece So Jung-son gave him as a parting gift. Wang Chong subconsciously glanced to the side. The room next door was empty. Su Hanshan had actually left the room a long time ago.
On the floor, there was only the bloodied clothes he took off last night.
"He must have gone to the training room on the main peak of Kunwu."
Wang Chong's heart jolted, and he immediately regained his senses. The main peak of the Kunwu Training Camp had an inscription formation that could gather the spiritual energy of the world. Cultivating there would be much faster than usual.
