C1217 Two direct disciples of the Art Sage
A year's time actually passed by very quickly.
During this year, Chu Yun and Ninth Princess had always been learning by Gu Xichao's side.
Gu Xichao was trapped in the Earth Lock Realm and unable to leave, he had long seen everything and treated Chu Yun and Ninth Princess as inheritors, and taught them everything he had learned in his life.
The two of them did not disappoint Gu Xichao's effort, they learned very seriously, and their progress was extremely fast.
Within the span of nine months, the two had roughly learnt all of Gu Xichao's abilities. The remaining three months, were purely to absorb experience and repeatedly temper themselves, in the hopes of reaching the most perfect state.
Painting is actually similar to many things, and one must pay attention to one's state of mind.
Without it, it's hard to keep going and make a truly perfect painting.
At the peak of Dream Peak.
The wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
A dense killing intent filled the air, and in contrast with it was a fierce fighting intent. The two of them faced each other, and neither was willing to admit defeat.
Chu Yun stood in the air, thunder and lightning surrounding him.
He was like a mad god who controlled thunder and lightning. With a casual flick of his finger, he could control a thick lightning snake.
"Crackle!"
The lightning struck down and shattered the entire sky. The entire world seemed to be twisted and distorted.
"Tch, don't use such a small trick, right?"
Ninth Princess smiled mischievously, she held a warm jade pen in her hand and with a casual wave, rough lines formed into a giant hand, which grabbed towards the lightning snake.
"Crack!"
The thunder snake was crushed into pieces, and the giant hand suddenly turned into a fist that struck towards Chu Yun.
Chu Yun smiled but did not say a word. He lifted his hand to draw in the air, and a touch of Sword Qi appeared.
"You're being shameless again, how can you merge the sword intent into the painting? This is unfair!"
Ninth Princess stuck out her tongue. Although she tried to take a step back, her actions did not stop.
"Moon rising from the sea!"
Ninth Princess flew up and started drawing again with her warm jade brush. A full moon rose up from a vast ocean, shining brilliantly with a myriad of strange phenomena, illuminating the entirety of Dream Peak, to the point where it was incomparably bright.
"You have a Warm Jade Brush martial spirit, but I don't. How could I bully you?"
Chu Yun had an innocent expression as he tried to defend himself: "If I don't use any tricks, just drawing, I am not your opponent!"
"Hehe, you really know how to find excuses for yourself, but it's up to you. Anyway, the one who wins at the end is me."
Ninth Princess once again added ink onto the drawing. The rising moon suddenly shot out a brilliant beam of light, piercing through the void.
"You relied on this move to defeat me five times. How could I let you succeed this time?"
Chu Yun grinned, then suddenly started drawing with both hands. In a few breaths time, he had drawn a gigantic beast.
The gigantic beast in the air seemed to have come to life as it howled, flying towards the full moon with the intent to fight for its life.
"Puchi!"
The beam of light shot out by the full moon easily penetrated the gigantic beast's body.
Chu Yun drew with his ten fingers, and in the next moment, ten sword beams shot out rapidly, slicing apart the sky.
His ten fingers played like a musical instrument and did not stop. Streams of sword Qi and saber Qi were produced one after another, crazily attacking towards that full moon.
The full moon began to dim under the crazy slashing.
"You ? You're using this move again!"
Although her drawing skills and power were slightly better than Chu Yun, but Chu Yun could imbue his sword intent and blade intent into the drawing, and the sword aura drawn by the drawing would become extremely sharp, and no one could stop it.
When this move came out, the Ninth Princess was immediately at a disadvantage.
Chu Yun laughed bitterly: "This is also a matter of helplessness, your technique 'Sea Ascending Moon' has become even stronger, even if I used this move, it would be very difficult to deal with."
This exchange ended in the end.
The victor was Chu Yun, also the Ninth Princess.
If Chu Yun didn't use this move, he definitely wouldn't be a match for the Ninth Princess.
This "Moon rising from the Sea" was a self-created art. Under the bright moonlight, no matter how strong you were, it would be difficult for you to last for too long.
Although Chu Yun used this move to defeat Ninth Princess, in reality, he did not have a good victory.
After all, the Ninth Princess had never had any foundation, and slowly developed to this day.
How could this be similar to him? He had already comprehended Sword Intent and Saber Intent earlier, so he would have a huge advantage.
"That's right, if we're both in the same Peak Ascension Realm, it won't be easy for you to win against Little Jiu."
With both hands behind his back, Gu Xichao slowly walked out with an indifferent smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.
These words had already made it clear that Ninth Princess was the final winner.
"Master is right."
Chu Yun scratched his head in embarrassment.
However, he did not feel discouraged. Losing to the Ninth Princess made him very happy in the bottom of his heart.
He had personally witnessed how Ninth Princess could never cultivate and slowly grow to his current state. Naturally, he was in a good mood.
The current Ninth Princess possessed Peak Ascension Realm strength, and she estimated that it wouldn't be long before she could enter the Manifestation stage.
Although the Earth Lock Realm restricted Gu Xichao's movement and made him unable to escape for eternity, the spirit energy here was still very abundant.
In addition, Gu Xichao had collected many heavenly and earthly treasures in the past few years, which were all used to assist him. This allowed Ninth Princess to easily rise to his current realm.
With Ninth Princess's background, her future cultivation would definitely be smooth sailing. The Heaven Ranked Level Ten's martial soul was not a joke.
"Right now, all of you have already learned nine points of my painting technique. It's been a year already, so fast."
Gu Xichao was a little emotional. Back then, he had said that he would teach the two of them within a year.
Now that the one year deadline had passed, both of them could learn very quickly.
It could be said that they were the direct disciples of the Art Sage's Gu Xichao!
And Gu Xichao's direct disciple, was only the two of them!
The atmosphere became silent for a moment.
Chu Yun and Ninth Princess were feeling a little reluctant.
In this year, Gu Xichao had taken great care of them, to the point of being meticulous.
It was obvious that he had high hopes for them.
Now, it was time to bid farewell.
"The speed at which you are growing is beyond my imagination. Right now, I no longer have anything to teach you. However, before I leave, I have to give you two something."
Gu Xichao was already prepared. He took out two paintings from his spatial ring and handed them over to the two people separately: "One of these two paintings is a Pine Crane Prolongation, the other one is a Hundred Beast Map. The Pine Crane Prolongation can extend one's life, and the Hundred Beast Map can suppress and kill strong enemies.
Hearing that, Chu Yun's expression became calm.
He spread out the picture scroll in his hand and saw many different kinds of beasts drawn on it. They were all extremely bizarre and fierce.
The awe-inspiring aura from above caused the space to warp and distort.
Clearly, this was a perfect and extraordinary painting!
