His serious look is so charming

What? Her Highness the Princess, are you joking? This divine ability was created by the patriarch of our Lingxiao Divine Dynasty—Divine King Jiuyou. This boy is merely a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana realm. What right or ability does he have to improve a divine ability created by an Immortal King?

The two clan elders revealed appalled expressions, and the rest of the spectating clan members were even more so. This was especially true for those who had studied the Jiuyou Divine Palm. What a joke! It was already strenuous enough for them just to learn this palm technique. Yet, not only did he learn it in such a short time, but he could also improve it? Was that even possible?

Ling Shuangshuang did not argue with them. She merely dropped a nonchalant remark: If you don't believe it, just watch.

Ling Shuangshuang was right. After Qin Hao discovered that the power of Jiuyou was merely a watered-down version of the power of Asura, the idea sprouted in his mind: could he use the power of Asura to replace the power of Jiuyou?

His power of Asura was no ordinary power of Asura; it was the Indestructible Asura Power, just like Ling Shuangshuang's. If he could fuse the Indestructible Asura Power into this palm technique, its might would absolutely not be weaker than an Emperor-level divine ability!

Qin Hao closed his eyes. A brilliant golden light erupted within his dual pupils, shining so brightly even through his eyelids that the others could not keep their eyes open. Using the power of his dual pupils, Qin Hao deduced and deconstructed the technique over and over again.

The spiritual energy circulation routes of every stance, the force exertion techniques of every stance, and the core intent of every stance—all were dismantled into their most primal components and then reassembled using the World-Destroying Asura Power.

The principle sounded simple, but executing it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Every stance of the Jiuyou Heaven-Shattering Palm was tailor-made for the power of Jiuyou. The spiritual energy circulation routes fit the characteristics of the power of Jiuyou flawlessly. Replacing it with the Indestructible Asura Power was like trying to funnel the waters of a mighty river into a narrow canal; the slightest carelessness would result in ruptured meridians and rampaging spiritual energy.

Suddenly, Qin Hao's eyes snapped open. The gazes of everyone in the sutra pavilion converged upon him. When they saw Qin Hao raise his hand once more, they all involuntarily held their breath.

A terrifying aura surged from Qin Hao's palm. It was not the purplish-black power of Jiuyou from before, but a deeper, more pristine black—a void-like darkness that could devour light and even absorb souls.

The corners of Qin Hao's mouth curled up slightly: Now, this move should be called the Asura Heaven-Shattering Palm!

Qin Hao struck out with his palm. A silent expansion, akin to the undivided chaos at the dawn of the world, spread outward from his palm. A massive palm imprint slammed into the spatial restriction set up by the two clan elders, and the powerful impact caused the entire sutra pavilion to tremble.

He... he succeeded! He actually succeeded! This oppressive feeling is so much stronger than the Jiuyou Heaven-Shattering Palm! He really improved it! The two clan elders exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with utter shock.

This was too absurd. Just where did Her Highness the Princess find such a monster? Learning the Jiuyou Heaven-Shattering Palm in ten breaths was one thing, but he had actually improved it! With such talent, looking across the entire Ten Directions and Nine Underworlds, he was surely unprecedented and his equal would never be seen again.

If the two clan elders were this astounded, there was no need to mention the younger generation spectating around them. They looked at each other, all too shocked to speak. Their previous doubts and disdain had completely vanished into thin air, leaving behind only endless admiration.

Everyone says I am a genius. Only after seeing him today do I know what a true genius is. This comprehension ability is simply terrifying! a youth in green clothes said from within the crowd.

My Dao heart is about to shatter. Back then, I spent three years learning the Jiuyou Heaven-Shattering Palm, and I was smug about it for quite a while. Now, compared to him, my little achievement is absolutely nothing.

Ling Shuangshuang stood at the very front of the crowd, her purple pupils reflecting Qin Hao's figure. The light in the depths of her eyes grew brighter and brighter, so bright it seemed as if something was burning within them.

She had seen geniuses. Having lived two lifetimes, she had witnessed generation after generation of heaven-defying prodigies and monsters. Not only in the Ten Directions and Nine Underworlds, but she had also seen the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, and had even fought against a monster like Liu Ruyan.

She previously thought that someone like Liu Ruyan was the very limit of the word genius. It wasn't until today, with the appearance of Qin Hao, that she was forced to redefine what the limit truly was.

Mastering a King-level divine ability in ten breaths—what kind of comprehension was this? And it wasn't just his comprehension; Qin Hao's innate talent was also terrifyingly formidable. Looking at his bone age, he was only in his early twenties, yet his cultivation base had already reached the Mahayana realm. Furthermore, even as an Immortal realm expert, she had actually lost when fighting against him!

I really want to submit at his feet!

Ling Shuangshuang's fingers curled slightly, her fingertips subconsciously gripping her skirt tightly. Her heart was beating fast—so fast that even she felt a little embarrassed.

To think she was someone who had lived two lifetimes! What kind of great storms and violent waves had she not seen? How could she now be so unsettled by a mere Mahayana realm boy? To even sprout the thought of submitting at his feet and letting him ravage her as he pleased?

But Ling Shuangshuang just couldn't control herself. Those beautiful purple eyes were locked onto Qin Hao as if glued to him, unable to look away no matter what.

He is so handsome. Every single movement he makes is so mesmerizing.

Ling Shuangshuang gently bit her lip, her legs uncontrollably crossing together. She stared at Qin Hao with a hazy gaze, her breathing starting to grow heavy and rapid. If she missed out on a man like him, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

She made her decision. No matter what price she had to pay, she had to keep Qin Hao by her side. It would be best if she could become Dao companions with him.

Hehe, Liu Ruyan, just you wait. As long as Ye Hao is given enough time, he will definitely grow into someone even more terrifying than you. So what if I'm not your match? As long as my Dao companion can defeat you, isn't that enough?

After finishing his demonstration of the Asura Heaven-Shattering Palm, Qin Hao turned to look at Ling Shuangshuang: How was that? Can I continue reading my books now?

Ling Shuangshuang bit her red lip and nodded gently. Her eyes did not blink even once, afraid she would miss a single second of looking at him: Naturally. Whatever you say goes.

Qin Hao furrowed his brows. Why did this woman feel so weird? Something was wrong—extremely, undeniably wrong.

Shaking his head, Qin Hao ignored her and went back to flipping through the cultivation methods and divine abilities here.

Ling Shuangshuang stood rooted to the spot, her gaze constantly following Qin Hao's figure. Her eyes slid from his profile down to his shoulders and neck, and then from his neck down to his waist and back.

Her gaze swept up and down his entire body, ultimately stopping on his hands. Those long, well-defined fingers were holding a book. His movements were light and elegant, exuding a flawless, natural beauty from every angle.

He looks so charming when he's serious~

Ling Shuangshuang unconsciously squeezed her legs tightly together. Her gaze was hazy and burning hot, like a deep pool of water that had been brought to a boil.
