As usual, after going through my morning exercises in the room and adjusting my condition, Su Tu habitually performed the Finger Technique of the Heaven-Flipping Seal. Not only was it calming, but more importantly...

[You are practicing the Heaven-Flipping Seal, Heaven-Flipping Seal skill level +500]

[Heaven-Flipping Seal (Initial Tier): 10000/100000]

That's right, aside from casting the Heaven-Flipping Seal, practicing the spell every morning could also increase its skill level.

But to be honest, Su Tu really thought the skill level requirement for Immortal Killing Techniques was a bit excessive.

Just to advance from the Initial Tier to Middle Tier required a hundred thousand skill level points, which was simply outrageous.

Moreover, the Heaven-Flipping Seal was relatively better, as it could increase skill levels through practicing the Finger Technique. The Immortal Slaying Sword was truly absurd.

Its skill level only increased upon casting it, and the skill itself was immensely powerful, causing more exhaustion to one's Heart and Spirit. Who could afford to cast such a skill daily without reason?

However, in terms of power, the Immortal Killing Techniques indeed matched such high skill level requirements. When the Heaven-Flipping Seal was cast, the heavens and earth were overturned, space collapsed, and the sun and moon were inverted.

Previously, Su Tu's casting of the Heaven-Flipping Seal had already revealed terrifying power. Not to mention, now he had fused new strength and stepped into the Seeking Truth Realm. If he were to fully unleash the Heaven-Flipping Seal now, Su Tu didn't know how terrifying it would be.

And the Immortal Slaying Sword was even more so, transmitted by the Immortal Slaying Sword Spirit as a Sword Intent. Legend had it that that person waved a sword, invoking the Immortal Slaying Sword, cutting with Heart and Spirit, leaving none wounded but dead, once obliterating the entire Kong Family with a single sword strike.

This power aptly matched such a ridiculously long skill level requirement.

Speaking of the Kong Family, Su Tu remembered his ultimate hard worker, Kong Jinyin. He hadn't seen that guy during the first round of examination.

Presumably, the God of Wealth might have spent quite a bit to let his 'precious' son enter directly into the final round, for only then was the true main event.

The Martial Arts Dao's fortune was bound to erupt and surge in the last phase, soaring high into the skies!

If Kong Chunqiu wanted to achieve something through his son, it surely had to be initiated in the final stage.

He sensed through the Tiger Talisman, and indeed his guess was correct; a Tiger Talisman was very close to him, clearly within the Second Realm.

Just as Su Tu was thinking this, a commotion came from the living room.

He heard the voices of Mu Wuyang and Feng quarreling.

Since he had just finished his morning exercises, he walked out. Mu Wuyang wasn't the type to cause trouble; for the two to quarrel at this moment meant something had happened.

Sure enough.

As Su Tu walked into the living room, he saw Feng propping both hands in front, blocking the doorway, with True Qi circulating around him, as if transformed into a towering mountain, firmly standing before Mu Wuyang.

Mu Wuyang, on the other hand, wore a blank expression. The bright smile usually on his face was instantly gone, his hands dropped, fists clenched tightly, sunlight surging and flowing over his fists.

"Feng, if you consider me a brother, just move aside!" Mu Wuyang said coldly.

Hearing these words, Feng's expression also changed.

"Damn!! It's because I consider you a brother that I'm blocking you. You've held back for so long, can't you wait just a bit longer?"

"The final round of examination is about to begin. You can kill him however you want afterwards, but not now!"

Since experiencing the first Origin inscription, Su Tu got a bit of PTSD from that particular word Feng mentioned.

But now obviously wasn't the time to fuss over it.

"What are you two up to so early in the morning?" Su Tu asked.

Feng, noticing Su Tu, quickly spoke: "Persuade this stubborn guy—this fellow just saw Kong Jinyin at the examination venue, and now he wants to kill him!"

Hearing this, Su Tu sighed helplessly in his heart.

He had vaguely guessed a few things earlier; Mu Wuyang and Kong Jinyin had a long-standing grudge.

In Mu Wuyang's heart, the primitive beings of that tribe died at Kong Jinyin's hands because of him.

His nature could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes; no impurity could be concealed in his heart.

Originally, it was agreed to kill Kong Jinyin during the martial examination, but seeing Kong Jinyin now instantly reminded him of the death of those beings.

In some people's eyes, human life had different worths, but in Mu Wuyang's eyes, a life was a life, and even those undeveloped primitive tribes were not a bit more lowly than others.

Those people died because of him, and he intended to use Kong Jinyin's blood to honor them, even if Kong Jinyin was a bloodline above that of the Daoist Master.

Having spent enough time with Mu Wuyang, Su Tu knew how this man thought.

He walked to Mu Wuyang, patting him on the shoulder.

"Old Mu, you must understand that we are in the examination center now. The examiner and martial artist security aren't joking—you're not certain to kill him."

"Moreover, even if you manage to kill him, you won't be able to participate in the remaining martial examination. You are surely aware of the strength of the foreign race's Divine Son; if you're not there, they have a better chance of seizing victory.

"I know you believe in equality for all life, but we are of the Human Race, and priorities must be set accordingly."

Hearing Su Tu's words, Mu Wuyang frowned, pondering. Ultimately, he lowered his fists.

Su Tu was right. If he killed Kong Jinyin now, his qualification for the final martial examination would inevitably be revoked. That foreign race's Divine Son wasn't someone an ordinary martial artist could contend with.

If Su Tu wanted to kill Kong Jinyin at this moment, no matter what was said, no one could stop him. But Mu Wuyang, with his upright character, couldn't bring himself to act recklessly.

"Crap, you'll listen to him but not me, huh?"

Seeing Mu Wuyang calm down, Feng withdrew his aura, speaking unhappily.

Mu Wuyang said nothing, his gaze turning to the window as brilliant sunlight flickered in his eyes, birthing a murderous intent.

"Then let him live one more day..."

Mu Wuyang forced these words from his mouth.

Su Tu came to the window too. He saw a familiar figure outside, and even from such a distance, he recognized the foolish look of Kong Jinyin.

That guy was currently pointing and shouting at a stationed martial artist, arrogantly, as if he'd forgotten how someone had slapped half his face off in the hospital, leaving him hiding and struggling to survive.

The snake in the dark had come out... and still looked like a fool.

"Rest assured, he won't have it too good even living one more day."

Su Tu said to Mu Wuyang.

He wasn't just comforting Mu Wuyang.

He appeared nonchalantly heading toward his Cultivation Room, but casually flicked something in mid-air.

In a sight unseen by ordinary people, the lines of causality... moved...

"I wonder what happens when I fully stir up misfortune..."

"Heh, the clash between a bloodline above the Daoist Master and a Divine Son of the foreign races—who knows what sparks will fly..."

Su Tu's complexion looked somewhat pale; he'd just nudged the lines of causality, expending a lot of Heart and Spirit.

A slight smirk tugged at his lips before he entered the Cultivation Room, keenly peering through the Tiger Talisman, observing everything.

====

"Do you fucking know who I am??"

"A damn stationed martial artist dares stop me. I'm bored and just want to go out for a look. This damn gate is an eyesore—open it for me, can you understand?"

Kong Jinyin looked grimly at the martial artist guarding the door.
