Chapter 594

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

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

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.

He might even be stronger than Zou Yan was back then.

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

As a person of the Confucian School, although Xun Zi did not travel to various states like Confucius did back then, when he was young, he had also walked through many states; he was a person 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 study.

Regarding the Hundred Schools of Thought, he had criticized them all, and 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 Xun Zi learned formed a school of its own.

Apart from what he had learned himself, 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."

"A gentleman does not violate benevolence even for the time of a meal; in moments of haste, he must be with it, and in times of distress, he must be with it."

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

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

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

After reaching the Heaven-Man Realm, heaven and man are one, and with a single thought, one can invoke the power of heaven and earth, which also made every strike of Xun Zi exceptionally powerful; at the same time, he also 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-copy 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 books were the originals, but also because copying books was a very tiring task.

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

Su Xuan also seemed to realize 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 Xun Zi's offensive was easily resolved by Su Xuan.

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

"The stars revolve, the sun and moon shine in turn, the four seasons take turns, the yin and yang transform greatly, and wind and rain are bestowed broadly..."

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

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

Unfortunately, no matter what methods he used, he could not succeed in doing anything to Su Xuan.

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

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

He took the initiative to stop attacking.

"Forget it, forget it, this old man is not your match, you win!"

Xun Zi sighed, appearing quite carefree.

"How is it, Xun Zi, you are stopping your attack just like that?" Su Xuan looked at Xun Zi, who had stopped, feeling somewhat surprised.

Xun Zi rolled his eyes at Su Xuan, "I am an old man after all; as for you, you are so much younger than me. If I were as young as you, who would win and who would lose is not certain."

"Is that so?"

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

Although Donghuang Taiyi and Chu Nangong were also very strong, their strength actually came from the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, while Xun Zi did not have the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book but had formed his own system; he was truly the strongest Heaven-Man Su Xuan had encountered.

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

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

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

"Thank you for your praise!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

Su Xuan had found what he wanted.
