Cao Rufeng, Wu Sheng, and Yu Fei looked at Chen Nan, utterly bewildered.
Chen Nan felt so embarrassed he wished he could leap into the sea.
He was just thinking about retracting those two wisps of Yin Yang Law.
But before he could, they merged in mid-air.
"Ninth Uncle, do you possess the divine ability of 'word is law'?"
"Why did they fuse just as I finished saying Yin Yang Fusion?"
Chen Nan would never admit to fusing the two laws.
If that were truly the case!
How could King Wu show his face?
As a youth who respected elders and loved the young, and possessed all four virtues!
He had to save King Wu some face.
"Scram!"
Cao Rufeng, enraged, kicked Chen Nan, sending him tumbling into the sea.
He wasn't foolish!
He could see that Chen Nan had long ago fused the two laws.
Otherwise, these two laws wouldn't have merged so easily.
Therefore!
In his eyes, Chen Nan's seemingly face-saving gesture was actually an insult to King Wu.
As his master, he naturally had to teach Chen Nan a lesson.
Chen Nan, dripping wet, flew out of the sea with a dejected look.
"Master, if I tell the truth, you say I'm showing off!"
"Now that I'm being humble, you're angry!"
"What do you want me to do to satisfy you?"
King Wu looked at Chen Nan with complicated eyes: "I've always felt my talent was extraordinary, though perhaps not the greatest in all of history, but comparable to the ancient prodigies!"
"Otherwise, I couldn't have become one of the eight Human Race Supremes!"
"But meeting you, I realized..."
"I seem to be just making up the numbers in this world!"
Chen Nan knew King Wu had been hit hard and said humbly, "Ninth Uncle, you can't say that!"
"Actually, your theory is correct!"
"Yin and Yang can truly fuse!"
King Wu couldn't help but ask, "Can you demonstrate the reaction after Yin Yang Fusion again?"
Although the two wisps of Yin Yang Law had fused just now!
They had quickly vanished into the heavens and earth.
To the point where he hadn't seen them clearly at all.
"Alright!"
Chen Nan's mind stirred.
His soul power enveloped a ball of seawater, and a palm-sized fish floated before them.
Chen Nan immediately fused the Yin Yang Law.
The next second!
The ball of seawater abruptly stilled.
The fish within also seemed petrified!
"To isolate time is to achieve eternity!" King Wu swallowed hard, feeling the terror of this strike.
Chen Nan sighed, "Unfortunately, with my current abilities, the eternal domain covers a very small area and doesn't last long."
King Wu, recovering from his shock, said, "However, when your strength grows, no one in this world will be your opponent."
Cao Rufeng said, "Actually, your strength is already quite formidable."
"However, you haven't learned how to utilize the Yin Yang Law."
"You can try applying it to formations!"
Chen Nan nodded solemnly.
Applying the Yin Yang Law to formations was something Chen Nan hadn't considered.
"Chen Nan, remember, do not easily use the Yin Yang Law in front of others!" King Wu earnestly cautioned, "This will become your greatest trump card. If others discover it, the consequences are unimaginable!"
"Understood!"
King Wu raised his wine cup and said, "There is no feast that lasts forever."
"Come, after finishing this drink, we will return to Central Continent City!"
"If you wish to stay in Central Continent City for a while, Ninth Uncle welcomes you!"
"If you wish to leave..."
"Ninth Uncle can also open the teleportation array to send you."
Chen Nan stood up and bowed to Cao Rufeng and King Wu: "Thank you both seniors for your kindness to this junior. I have no way to repay you, except to hope that as I grow stronger, I can do something for you one day!"
Both Cao Rufeng and King Wu!
Chen Nan was genuinely grateful to them.
If not for Cao Rufeng bestowing upon him insights into formations!
He would not have comprehended the Way of Formations!
And if not for King Wu giving him the precious spot to enter the Land of Fortune, he would not have broken the curse of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!
Nor would he have mastered the Yin Yang Law!
Their kindness would forever be unforgettable to Chen Nan.
"Take this."
Cao Rufeng produced a palm-sized remnant of an ancient sheepskin scroll.
Mysterious Dao patterns were etched upon it.
Even though it was incomplete, it exuded a powerful aura.
Cao Rufeng said, "Although this item is not rare, it can break through the void and save your life in times of danger."
"Besides this, your master must also give you a piece of advice!"
"When being a person, learn to be ruthless!"
"Only a heart of stone can be impervious to all methods!"
"Disciple will engrave master's instructions in his heart!" Chen Nan replied.
However!
His heart was in extreme conflict.
He had two masters.
The first was Wu Shan, who guided him onto the path of cultivation.
He taught him cultivation techniques!
He taught him the principles of kindness to others.
Without Wu Shan's tutelage!
After his three-year term, upon release from prison, he would have been struggling at the bottom of society.
He might even have been unable to cope with family changes, leading to extreme actions.
It was Wu Shan who changed his destiny.
The second master was Cao Rufeng.
Cao Rufeng allowed him to comprehend the Way of Formations!
But...
The teachings of the two masters were diametrically opposed!
One told him to be kind.
The other told him to be heartless!
"Let's go, back to Central Continent City!"
After sharing a drink, the Human Emperor summoned a flying magical artifact and carried Chen Nan and the others back to Central Continent City.
Having agreed to leave via the teleportation array at midnight, Chen Nan parted ways with the Human Emperor first.
------
"Will you come with me?"
On the bustling streets of Central Continent City, Chen Nan held Yu Fei's hand.
Yu Fei's pupils trembled, and she murmured, "Of course I want to leave with you!"
"But!"
"The gap between us is too great!"
"I fear I will become a burden to you if I stay by your side!"
Chen Nan shook his head dismissively, "What gap is there between us!"
"Even if there is, we can complement each other in certain matters." He said this while giving her a knowing look.
Yu Fei's face instantly turned crimson.
Like a tender, succulent peach.
As if a gentle squeeze would release sweet, delicious juice.
"If you don't mind that I'm useless, I will wander the world with you!" Yu Fei said, her face flushed, expressing her feelings for Chen Nan.
Chen Nan tightly grasped her hand.
Even though Yu Fei's cultivation was not high!
They had endured hardships together.
Moreover, she was willing to wander the world with him.
He should treat her well.
"Let's go, we'll visit your parents!"
"After all, if we leave this time, we don't know when we'll return."
Yu Fei forced a smile, "I'll go back alone. After all, you don't like them either."
It wasn't just Chen Nan who disliked Yu Mingzhi and his wife.
Even Yu Fei disliked her own parents.
It was just that!
They were her parents!
And precisely because she disliked them!
She had decided to wander the world with Chen Nan.
"That's fine, I'll go back to Star Picking Tower and wait for you!" Chen Nan didn't say much more, as he had things to discuss with the Lightning Leopard. Read books.
Yu Fei smiled and gave an "Mm," then turned towards home.
But after only a few steps!
She suddenly turned back, a brilliant smile on her face, "Thank you for being willing to take me, a drag, with you. It's great to have you."
Chen Nan smiled and shook his head, "Hurry along."
"Mm-hmm, wait for me, I'll be back soon!" Yu Fei disappeared into the crowd with cheerful steps.
Chen Nan also turned and walked towards Star Picking Tower.
And at the same time!
Liu Jie, dressed in a black robe on the street, took out a communication jade slip and contacted Liu Yingying: "Little sister, Chen Nan and Yu Fei have appeared!"
"The two of them have separated, you can make your move now!"
"Whether we can get revenge depends on tonight!"
