Chapter 60

On the stage, "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu, dressed in blue, stood with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant as he stared at Tang Gu and shook his head slightly.

"Tang Junior Brother, it's truly not easy for you to have come this far, but against me, you have no chance of winning. It would be better for you to admit defeat and step down, to avoid the humiliation."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Tang Gu smiled slightly. Although he didn't know what the other person was up to, he decided not to engage. He immediately said, "But Junior Brother still wishes to learn from Senior Brother Ye Guyu. If I truly fall short, I will admit defeat then."

Upon hearing this, the smile on "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu's face slowly faded, turning cold. He looked at Tang Gu and snorted, as if looking at a dead man.

"Stubborn and overconfident. Originally, I wanted to let you off, unwilling to fight a fellow disciple, but since you are so unreasonable, don't blame me!"

Tang Gu shook his head, unwilling to argue. He frowned and said, "Senior Brother, this is the stage. If you don't want to fight, step down. If you decide to fight, please make your move!"

"Ha ha, make a move?"

On the opposite side, "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu's face suddenly showed a very strange expression. He looked at Tang Gu and smiled sinisterly, "The battle has already begun. My move has already been made. Don't you know?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Tang Gu's face finally changed. At that moment, he felt a dizziness in his mind, as if something had drilled into it.

In the next moment, the entire stage suddenly darkened, and all the images and sounds around him disappeared. The stage, the square, the academy, and the elders all vanished, as if they had been transported to a vast, isolated sea, cut off from the world.

The sky above was filled with dark clouds, and the sea below was turbulent.

In the endless waves, "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu suddenly burst into laughter. In his laughter, an infinite light radiated from his body.

This light had no beginning or end, no birth or death. It was not blinding but emitted a gentle warmth, making one feel close and safe, sensing no danger at all.

He was like a source of light, the only point of light in the world, standing at the center of the universe, smiling at Tang Gu. In his smile, Tang Gu vaguely saw the silver snake embroidered on his sleeve come to life, undulating and moving.

"Where am I? It's so warm and comfortable."

Tang Gu thought, lost in the endless waves around him, which swayed back and forth like a cradle for a child.

The sea was warm like spring, the stars and moon shining above, and a gentle breeze blew, making him want to fall asleep.

But at that moment, a pale black crystal in Tang Gu's mind suddenly sensed danger and began to spin rapidly...

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Waves of soul vibrations rippled through his mind. In the next moment, Tang Gu groaned and suddenly woke up, drenched in sweat, his face pale, as if he had just had the worst nightmare.

On the opposite side, "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu still stood quietly, seemingly unchanged. The audience stands were still noisy, and the inner court elders stood by, as if they had never moved.

Tang Gu's face immediately changed. "This is... mind control?"

"You have some discernment!"

Seeing Tang Gu wake up so quickly, "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu seemed slightly surprised but then sneered, "But that's all. I originally wanted you to experience more of that beauty, to end the battle in a dream. But now it seems you have some secrets, allowing you to break my illusion, the Cloud and Rain Heart Covering Technique."

"Since that's the case... fine, let's have a fair fight. I want you to know that a lowly servant, even if he trains for a lifetime, can never be the match of a proper inner court disciple like me."

With that, he suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Tang Gu. The thin ice-blue gloves on his hands suddenly glowed like crystal, and he struck out.

Instantly, the sound of breaking wind filled the air as palm shadows appeared, creating images of a bridge, flowing water, green mountains, and a silver moon.

The wind sighed, and the tree shadows swayed. Layer upon layer of palm shadows, like illusions, rapidly pressed toward Tang Gu.

"The Illusory Palm?"

Tang Gu's mind flashed with surprise. The first in the inner court, indeed, lived up to his reputation. "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu's martial techniques seemed to take a different path, unlike anyone else.

Whether it was the Cloud and Rain Heart Covering Technique earlier or the Illusory Palm now, they were unprecedented and unheard of, far more powerful and difficult to deal with than any other opponent.

However... illusions...

Tang Gu, in his life, was not afraid of such things. He had almost fallen for it earlier, but for someone who practiced the ancient soul technique and had a naturally stronger soul power, illusions were easy to see through.

He didn't explain, just smiled slightly, and his eyes emitted a strange light, changing to a pale blue, forming a sharp sword that suddenly stabbed out. Instantly, all the illusions around him dissipated, revealing the true palm that was about to strike him.

Tang Gu's shoulder trembled slightly, and the Dark Cloud Iron Sword shot out as a black beam, circling in the air and then piercing through the layers of illusions. In the next moment, a惨叫声响彻整个比武台，所有幻影全部消失。

再看时，“蛇手”叶孤雨一手捧掌，掌心中鲜血淋漓，正不断跳脚痛呼。

他痛得脸色狰狞，满面恐怖，望着对面的唐古，一字一顿地道：“好，很好，非常好。没想到，你一个小小杂役，居然能伤到我，不错，非常之不错！”

“不过，无知者无畏，向来如此，你成功激怒我了，从来没有人能把我逼到如此地步，从来没有人，你是第一个！

既然如此，我也让你见识见识一下，我刚刚练成，还从来没有示于人前的驱雨术！你应该感到荣幸了！”

话音刚落，他一点掌心大穴，伤口顿止，然后缓缓从怀中掏出一颗晶蓝木盒，当众在所有人面前，从其中掏出一颗蓝光熠熠的水蓝色明珠，当空往前一抛。

瞬间，无穷水元气朝灵珠汇聚，灵珠不断旋转，“蛇手”叶孤雨身上顿时闪现出无匹蓝光，蓝光朝四周涌出，四周的空气湿度猛然增加，然后不断凝坠。

“啪……”

一滴泪状的青蓝色雨滴打落在比武台上，无声无息，似乎毫无特殊，但下一刻，雨滴越来越多，落在每一个人的身上。

“咦，这是什么？下雨了？”

“如此晴天，怎么会下雨？嗯，我怎么感觉身躯有些发软，全身无力！”

“是啊，我也是，眼冒金星，难道我早上没有吃饭？”

……

很快，不止一个，所有内院弟子全都感觉到了身体的异样，惊呼声四起。

终于，有一名弟子想了起来，大声惊叫道：“天呐，这是这些雨水的问题，这些雨水能消解人的功力，短时间内让人完全失去战斗力！”

“不错，就是这些雨水，你们看那比武台……”

一名弟子一指比武台，指向那颗高高悬浮，不断旋转的水蓝色明珠：“是那颗怪珠子搞的鬼，天呐，这是一等奇物，水元灵珠……”

“据说叶孤雨叶师兄修炼‘驱雨术’已经六七年，至今一事无成，就因水元素亲和力差了一点，不想，现在他居然得到了这枚‘水元灵珠’，所有问题迎刃而解，这下这个唐古，要死定了！”

“不错，就是驱雨术，奇术榜上排名第一百零七的‘驱雨术’，功可蚀魂销骨，杀人于无形之中。天呐，这是传说中的奇术啊……叶师兄居然也会！”

天下奇术，种类繁多，然而也有上下，贵贱之别，后来有人单独列出了其中一百零八种，排成一册“奇术榜”，驱雨术就是其中一种。

能上奇术榜上的奇术，没有哪一种简单，即使排名再靠后，也有其独特的作用，或出现次数较多，人气较旺，或十分稀珍，威力强大。

“驱雨术”虽然只是其中排名最为靠后的几种低级奇术之一，但其价值同样无与伦比。

其消解人功力的特性，让人闻之色变，常常在无声无息中，就决定了战斗的胜负。

这种奇术，本不应该出现在这个小小的比武台上，然而此时此刻，众人却的的确确亲眼所见，难怪他们如此惊讶。

再没有人看好唐古，皆认为驱雨术一出，唐古必败！

A scream echoed throughout the arena, and all the illusions disappeared.

Looking again, "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu was holding his palm, which was bleeding profusely, and he was hopping around in pain.

His face contorted in pain, he looked at Tang Gu with terror and said, word by word, "Good, very good, extremely good. I didn't expect a lowly servant like you to actually injure me. Not bad, very not bad!"

"However, ignorance is bliss, as always. You have successfully angered me. No one has ever pushed me to this extent, no one. You are the first!

Since that's the case, I will also let you see my newly mastered, never-before-shown Rain Driving Technique! You should feel honored!"

As he spoke, he pressed a point on his palm, and the wound stopped bleeding. Then he slowly took out a crystal blue wooden box from his pocket and, in front of everyone, pulled out a water-blue pearl that glowed with a blue light, and threw it into the air.

Instantly, boundless water essence gathered around the pearl, which kept spinning. "Snake Hand" Ye Guyu's body was suddenly bathed in an overwhelming blue light, which spread out in all directions, increasing the humidity in the air, which then began to condense.

"Snap..."

A teardrop-shaped blue raindrop fell onto the arena, silently, seemingly unremarkable, but in the next moment, more and more raindrops began to fall, landing on everyone.

"Hmm, what is this? It's raining?"

"Such a clear day, how can it rain? Hmm, why do I feel weak and powerless?"

"Yes, me too, I see stars, did I not eat breakfast this morning?"

...

Soon, not just one, but all the inner court disciples felt something strange in their bodies, and cries of alarm rose from all sides.

Finally, one disciple remembered and shouted in alarm, "Heaven, it's the rain! This rain can dissolve a person's power, making them completely unable to fight in a short time!"

"Right, it's this rain. Look at the arena..."

A disciple pointed at the arena, where a water-blue pearl was floating high, spinning: "It's that strange pearl causing this. Heaven, this is a first-class treasure, the Water Essence Pearl..."

"According to rumors, Senior Brother Ye Guyu has been practicing the Rain Driving Technique for six or seven years, with no success, due to a slight lack of water element affinity. But now, he has obtained this Water Essence Pearl, and all problems are solved. This Tang Gu is doomed!"

"Right, it's the Rain Driving Technique, ranked 107th on the list of extraordinary techniques. It can erode the soul and bones, killing silently. Heaven, this is a legendary technique... Senior Brother Ye actually knows it!"

There are many types of extraordinary techniques in the world, but they also have their ranks and values. Later, someone listed 108 of them, forming the "List of Extraordinary Techniques," and the Rain Driving Technique is one of them.

No technique on the list is simple. Even those ranked lower have their unique uses, either appearing frequently, being popular, or being extremely rare and powerful.

Although the Rain Driving Technique is one of the lower-ranked techniques, its value is unparalleled.

Its ability to erode a person's power is terrifying, often deciding the outcome of a battle silently.

Such a technique should not appear on this small arena, but now, everyone has seen it with their own eyes, no wonder they are so astonished.

No one now believed in Tang Gu's chances, all thinking that with the Rain Driving Technique, Tang Gu was bound to lose!
