Chapter 40

"Heavenly Snake Whip!"

"Heavenly Snake Dance!"

Ning Chuan's massive snake body was like a dragon emerging from the sea and a tiger descending from the mountain!

The Heavenly Snake Whip technique and the Heavenly Snake Dance movement technique were perfectly combined!

That thick and powerful snake tail, like a dragon wagging its tail, carried the terrifying power to split mountains and crack rocks with every strike!

And his massive body was extremely flexible, moving freely and with ease within Zhou Zhou Botong's airtight fist shadows!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The dull sound of fists colliding with the snake body was endless!

The stone walls in the cave were shaken by the aftermath of their fight, causing many broken stones to fall. This was still the result of them not exploding with full force; otherwise, they could have easily collapsed the cave.

Zhou Zhou Botong was more and more shocked as he fought!

He originally thought that with the mystery of his Left-Right Mutual Combat and Empty Bright Fist, dealing with a snake should be easy.

But he didn't expect that this black snake before him was not only infinitely strong and had an extremely hard physical body.

Its whip technique and movement technique were even more exquisite, not inferior to human top-tier martial arts at all!

Even in that whip technique, he vaguely felt a trace of... the shadow of Taohuadao martial arts?

This... this snake, could it actually know Wu Gong?!

And its cultivation was actually so high?!

It clearly wasn't this strong when he saw it last time!

His own Empty Bright Fist, which he was proud of, hit it as if it were a mud cow entering the sea, unable to cause substantial damage!

Instead, he was whipped by its violent snake tail, causing his blood to surge and his arms to go numb!

Zhou Zhou Botong was shocked, his eyes widening even more than before!

He felt that the things he encountered today were even more bizarre than all the strange things he had encountered in his life combined!

Seeing that he was gradually falling into a disadvantage and was about to be unable to resist Ning Chuan's storm-like attacks.

Zhou Zhou Botong's childish temperament came up again.

He hurriedly let out a strange cry, pulled back, and waved his hand:

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Stop! Stop!"

"You snake, you are too powerful!"

"Even more powerful than that Old Heretic Huang! Only slightly worse than my dead Senior Brother!"

He panted, but there was still an excited light on his face.

Seeing this, Ning Chuan also stopped the attack.

He looked at Zhou Zhou Botong and asked with that slightly awkward voice:

"So, you admit defeat?"

Zhou Zhou Botong's eyes rolled a few times upon hearing this, and a flash of cunning passed through them.

He smiled and said:

"That's not it! We haven't fought to a result yet!"

"I think we are evenly matched, a case of a good opponent meeting a talented one, neither winning nor losing!"

"So, this bet doesn't count! Doesn't count!"

"At worst... at worst, I won't go out!"

He looked like he was playing a rogue, clearly not wanting to admit that he had lost. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====

Ning Chuan looked at Zhou Zhou Botong's rogue-like appearance.

He couldn't help but laugh.

This Old Urchin really was someone who didn't play by the rules.

However, he had expected this long ago.

He didn't feel surprised.

After all, if the Nine Yin Manual could be so easily coaxed out of Zhou Zhou Botong's mouth.

With the means and wisdom of the Eastern Heretic Huang Huang Yaoshi.

He would probably have succeeded long ago.

And wouldn't have been so angry that he blew his beard and stared, yet gained nothing.

The fight with Zhou Zhou Botong earlier.

Ning Chuan's purpose, besides testing the opponent's strength and verifying his own martial arts.

Was more importantly to consume the Old Urchin's energy and true qi.

To pave the way for the next "plan".

Ning Chuan restrained his smile.

He pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted coldly.

He said with that slightly awkward voice:

"Old Urchin, you are not keeping your word."

"We agreed on a bet, and if you lose, you have to admit it."

"Acting like this is not what a strong person does."

His massive snake body also slightly raised.

Emitting a faint pressure.

As if he were really a bit angry.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou Botong felt a bit guilty in his heart.

Although he was mischievous by nature, he was not unreasonable.

He had indeed been a bit rogue just now.

Moreover, Ning Chuan had brought him so much good food before.

And now, because of him, they had fought for nothing.

Thinking of this, a trace of guilt arose in the Old Urchin's heart.

He scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Uh... Ning Chuan... this... I..."

Just when Zhou Zhou Botong was feeling guilty and didn't know what to do.

Suddenly.

In Ning Chuan's originally cold and deep snake pupils.

A strange light flashed.

His voice also became low and magnetic.

Carrying a strange temptation:

"Old Urchin."

"Come, look into my eyes."

Heavenly Snake Pupil, activated instantly!

Ning Chuan's snake pupils, like obsidian.

Seemed to have turned into two bottomless whirlpools.

Emitting invisible mental power fluctuations.

Firmly attracting Zhou Zhou Botong's gaze.

At the same time.

A faint but containing a special frequency.

Sound wave of the Heavenly Snake Chant.

Was also quietly emitted from Ning Chuan's mouth.

Like spring rain, it penetrated into Zhou Zhou Botong's sea of consciousness silently.

Mental secret technique and sound wave martial art, both working together!

Forming a more powerful mental hypnosis effect! ===== CHAPTER 75 =====

Zhou Zhou Botong's originally lively eyes gradually became somewhat confused.

His thinking seemed to have fallen into a chaos.

His body also became somewhat stiff.

Originally, with Ning Chuan's current Innate Great Perfection cultivation.

Wanting to hypnotize such a person as Zhou Zhou Botong.

A grandmaster expert with a pure heart and deep internal energy.

Was an extremely difficult thing.

It could even be said that it was almost impossible to succeed.

The mental will of a grandmaster expert was already as firm as a rock.

How could it be so easily shaken?

But today, it was a bit different.

First, Ning Chuan had fought fiercely with Zhou Zhou Botong before.

Consuming a large amount of his true qi and energy.

Making his spirit also in a relatively tired state.

Secondly, Ning Chuan had given him food and played with him before.

Making Zhou Zhou Botong have a certain degree of favor and trust in him in his subconscious.

Lowering his guard.

Coupled with the fact that the Old Urchin Zhou Zhou Botong's mind was originally as pure as a child's.

Although it was difficult to be deceived by worldly conspiracies and tricks.

It was also more easily influenced by this direct and pure mental power.

After many preparations, Ning Chuan's Heavenly Snake Pupil and Heavenly Snake Chant.

Were able to successfully invade his sea of consciousness and perform mental hypnosis on him.

"I am your Senior Brother!"

Ning Chuan said to Zhou Zhou Botong slowly in a majestic and unquestionable tone.

The voice seemed to ring directly in the depths of his soul.

A flash of struggle crossed Zhou Zhou Botong's confused eyes.

He muttered to himself:

"Senior Brother...?"

"No... my Senior Brother is... is the Central Divine Power Wang Wang Chongyang..."

"The Central Divine Power is your Second Senior Brother."

Ning Chuan's voice rang out again, carrying a convincing power.

"I am your true Senior Brother."

"I am the reincarnation of a True Dragon, wandering in the Great Void, and only returned recently."

"The reason you don't recognize me is that I left when you were young."

"But the bond of brotherhood between us was already destined."

Ning Chuan began to weave a fictional identity for Zhou Zhou Botong.

An image of a powerful, mysterious, yet trustworthy Senior Brother.

He used the power of the Heavenly Snake Pupil to constantly implant these false information and memories into Zhou Zhou Botong's subconscious.

"Reincarnation of a True Dragon... Senior Brother..."

Zhou Zhou Botong's eyes became more and more confused.

He tried hard to recall.

But found that his memory seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.

Those false information implanted by Ning Chuan.

Took root and sprouted in his sea of consciousness like seeds.

After careful hypnosis and guidance.

The struggle in Zhou Zhou Botong's eyes gradually disappeared.

Replaced by a heartfelt worship and trust.

He looked at Ning Chuan, his eyes becoming incomparably affectionate and dependent.

As if Ning Chuan were truly his long-lost, powerful Senior Brother.

Seeing this, Ning Chuan knew that the time was ripe.

He asked in a gentle and expectant tone:

"Junior Brother, did your Second Senior Brother Wang Wang Chongyang entrust you with a martial arts manual called the Nine Yin Manual back then?"

"Now, I need to study this manual to verify what I have learned."

"Your Second Senior Brother also instructed you that if you met me, you should tell me about this manual."

"Do you still remember?"

Zhou Zhou Botong heard the four words "Nine Yin Manual".

A violent struggle flashed across his confused eyes again.

He seemed to have remembered something, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

He muttered in his mouth:

"Nine Yin Manual... Second Senior Brother didn't let me tell anyone..."

"But... Senior Brother..."

Deep in his heart, that promise to Wang Wang Chongyang.

Began to clash fiercely with the order of the "Senior Brother" implanted by Ning Chuan.

Seeing this, Ning Chuan immediately increased the intensity of the Heavenly Snake Pupil and Heavenly Snake Chant.

Using a more gentle, yet majestically unquestionable voice, he said:

"Junior Brother, your Second Senior Brother's instructions must naturally be followed."

"But he hopes even more that you can hand over the Nine Yin Manual to someone who can carry it forward."

"And I am that person."

"Moreover, this matter was also tacitly approved by your Second Senior Brother."

"Do you want to go against your Second Senior Brother's wishes?"

Under Ning Chuan's continuous mental guidance and suggestion.

The struggle in Zhou Zhou Botong's heart gradually subsided.

Finally, the "Senior Brother's order" that was implanted.

Took the upper hand.

He sighed long, as if he had put down some heavy burden.

Then, he said in a tone with a bit of relief:

"Okay, since you want to see it, Senior Brother, then I will tell you."

"Senior Brother did indeed entrust the Nine Yin Manual to me for safekeeping back then."

"He said that this manual was too powerful and feared it would cause disaster in the Wu Lin, so he told me to look after it well and not let it leak out."

"However, since you have spoken, Senior Brother, then I will tell you."

Immediately, Zhou Zhou Botong began to recite word by word.

The general outline of the Nine Yin Manual in his memory, as well as the internal energy cultivation method of the first volume.

Reciting it slowly.

"The way of heaven, reducing the surplus and supplementing the deficiency, therefore the void overcomes the solid, the insufficient overcomes the surplus..."

Profound scriptures flowed from Zhou Zhou Botong's mouth.

Every word seemed to contain the principles of heaven and earth.

Ning Chuan listened carefully, imprinting every word deeply into his mind. ===== CHAPTER 76 =====

Profound scriptures flowed from the mouth of Zhou Zhou Botong.

Every single word seemed to contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

Ning Chuan listened carefully, deeply imprinting every word into his mind.
