Chapter 367

Previously, the tremor of the books in the library originated from the breeze Su Xuan had actively released, but at this moment, the tremor of the books within the library originated from Does Xun Zi.

As all the books trembled.

Su Xuan felt an overwhelming force appear in this space; this force was supreme and rigid, like the scorching sun, releasing an intense sense of oppression.

Su Xuan only felt that the surrounding space had been solidified.

Vaguely, beside his ears, there seemed to be the sound of rhythmic reading, and many aged figures appeared one by one, then, the reading and the many figures disappeared simultaneously, leaving only Does Xun Zi, wearing a high cap, standing quietly as he pressed out a palm.

That overwhelming force filling the space between heaven and earth immediately swept toward Su Xuan.

"It is somewhat similar to the power Chu Chu Nangong realized from the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, yet it is completely different..."

The moment this force appeared, Su Xuan had some conjectures; this force reminded him of a supreme skill of the Confucian school, called "Haoran Qi." The so-called Haoran Qi first appeared in the book "Mencius": "I am good at nourishing my Haoran Qi... As for this qi, it is supreme and rigid; nourished by uprightness without harm, it fills the space between heaven and earth. As for this qi, it pairs with righteousness and the Dao; without these, it starves."

Although within the Confucian school, Does Xun Zi and Mencius were opposed to each other, this did not in the slightest affect Does Xun Zi's ability to also cultivate Haoran Qi.

The thought flashed and vanished; Su Xuan's robes rose slightly, an invisible force diffused, and the Haoran Qi that Does Xun Zi had attacked with dissipated simultaneously.

Does Xun Zi frowned, because he did not know Su Xuan's true strength, so he first used a move of "Mencius'" Haoran Qi, but as a result, the Haoran Qi dissipated so easily.

This contemporary Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School was indeed very strong.

Perhaps even stronger than Zou Yan was back in the day.

Therefore, he also had to bring out some real skills.

As a member of the Confucian school, although Does Xun Zi did not travel to various states like Confucius did back in the day, when he was young, he had also walked through many states. He was a man of Zhao Guo, later served as the Libationer of the Jixia Academy in Qi Guo, went to Chu Guo to serve as the Magistrate of Lanling, traveled in Qin Guo, and after wandering around, finally returned to this Qi Guo to teach.

Regarding the Hundred Schools of Thought, he had criticized them all, even the Confucian school, he had criticized as well.

The most critical thing was that those people and those sects he had criticized, although very unhappy in their hearts, were unable to refute him.

The reason lay in the fact that what Does Xun Zi learned formed a school of its own.

Apart from his own learning, he was also extremely proficient in the things of the other Confucian schools.

"The Master said: If one is determined to be benevolent, there will be no evil."

"The superior man does not deviate from benevolence even for the space of a single meal; in moments of haste, he adheres to it; in times of danger, he adheres to it."

"Is benevolence far away? I desire benevolence, and benevolence arrives."

"The wise are not confused, the benevolent are not anxious, the brave are not afraid."

As Does Xun Zi attacked again, the previously vanished rhythmic reading appeared once more. Among the many books in this library, it seemed that the spirit of the sages was truly hidden, and the existence of this spirit caused the attack after Does Xun Zi's strike to be amplified to a certain degree.

After reaching the Heaven-Human realm, Heaven and Human are one; with a single thought, one can invoke the power of heaven and earth. This also made every strike of Does Xun Zi exceptionally powerful. At the same time, he deliberately controlled the range of his attack, limiting it to the area around Su Xuan to prevent the aftermath of their battle from destroying this library. Even though he knew many of the books by heart and could re-transcribe them if they were destroyed, it was best not to let them be damaged if there was no need.

It was not only because many of the books were originals, but also because copying books was a very tiring task.

For some time now, Does Xun Zi had been copying books in this library, so he had deep personal experience.

Su Xuan also seemed to realize Does Xun Zi's painstaking efforts and also deliberately controlled the range of his power's influence. The two people's powers were colliding invisibly, and the result was that Does Xun Zi's offensive was easily resolved by Su Xuan.

Previously, what Does Xun Zi used were the methods of the Confucian sages; finally, at the end, he used his own methods.

"The stars rotate, the sun and moon shine in turn, the four seasons replace each other, the yin and yang transform greatly, the wind and rain spread widely..."

In an instant, the chaotic spiritual energy between heaven and earth was all drawn by Does Xun Zi, and then, according to a certain pattern, it surged toward Su Xuan simultaneously. With a single thought from Su Xuan, the various spiritual energies were annihilated at the same time.

Does Xun Zi was not annoyed and continued to exert all his skills.

It was a pity that no matter what methods he used, he could not succeed in doing anything to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan just stood there quietly, letting Does Xun Zi's offensive strike, while an invisible force enveloped his side; various powers were directly resolved before they could even get close to him.

Finally, Does Xun Zi realized that he could not do anything to Su Xuan.

He took the initiative to stop attacking.

"Enough, enough, this old man is not your match, you win!"

Does Xun Zi sighed, appearing quite carefree.

"What, Does Xun Zi is stopping the attack just like that?" Su Xuan looked at Does Xun Zi, who had stopped, feeling somewhat surprised.

Does Xun Zi rolled his eyes at Su Xuan, "I am an old man after all, but you, you are so much younger than me. If I were as young as you, the outcome would not necessarily be certain."

"Is that so?"

Su Xuan did not expose Does Xun Zi's stubbornness; on the contrary, he even praised Does Xun Zi, "Compared to Donghuang Taiyi and Chu Chu Nangong, you are still 220 stronger."

Although Donghuang Taiyi and Chu Chu Nangong were also very strong, their strength actually came from the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, while Does Xun Zi had no Yellow Stone Heavenly Book but had formed his own system; he was truly the strongest Heaven-Human Su Xuan had encountered.

Of course, this "strongest" did not refer to power, but to comprehensiveness.

In a short instant, Does Xun Zi did not know how many kinds of power he had displayed.

Among them, some belonged to himself, while more belonged to the Confucian sages, which meant Does Xun Zi's erudition.

"Thank you for your praise!"

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Does Xun Zi was finally comforted. Although he had lost to Su Xuan, receiving Su Xuan's affirmation and knowing that he was stronger than Donghuang Taiyi and Chu Chu Nangong could also be considered a happy thing.

Because of his defeat, Does Xun Zi no longer stopped Su Xuan.

Bursts of breeze were released from Su Xuan's body, and the many bamboo slips in the library trembled simultaneously.

Although Does Xun Zi was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Xuan's act of searching for things right in front of him, he was helpless; he had already tried to stop Su Xuan, but failed.

As a loser, he could only silently bear the cost.

Until a moment later, the breeze disappeared, and the trembling bamboo slips also calmed down.

Su Xuan had found what he wanted.
