Chapter 226 The Power of the Four Symbols
As Zou Tianshu finished speaking, his body suddenly emitted an extremely powerful aura of talent, which was even stronger than before.
"Next, I'll show you the ultimate techniques of my Yin-Yang School."
Zou Tianshu snorted coldly, then took out a rune in his hand. The rune was golden and shiny, and it was engraved with an extremely mysterious pattern.
"The Daoist talismans of the Yin-Yang School? I never expected that Zou Tianshu could actually master one of the five great arts of the Yin-Yang School. He is truly a formidable young man."
Linghu Qingfeng, being knowledgeable and experienced, couldn't help but speak up when he saw the talisman.
"Taoist talismans? The Five Great Arts? I am ignorant and shallow, please enlighten us, Master Linghu."
Zhang Shuling frowned, then asked.
"This talisman is a unique skill of the Yin-Yang School, but its essence still belongs to Yin-Yang Masters. It is a unique skill they have come to understand from the classic text of the sages, which is based on Li Sheng's saying, 'The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.' Its essence is similar to the principle of Taiji giving birth to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang giving birth to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols giving birth to the Eight Trigrams. The pattern looks complicated, but in fact it has four main patterns. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Yin and Yang giving birth to the Four Symbols."
Linghu Qingfeng stared intently at the talismans and said in a deep voice.
"The Four Symbols Symbol... I once saw it in an ancient book about Onmyoji. This Four Symbols Symbol can summon the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger, combining the power of the Four Symbols, and then using it in conjunction with talent to attack the enemy. Its power is comparable to ordinary profound words, or rather, this is the profound words of the Onmyoji school."
Yu Mengyang pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Yu is absolutely right, but I wonder how Ye Ru will break this deadlock."
Linghu Qingfeng looked up at Ye Ru with a meaningful expression.
At this moment, countless people were attracted by the talisman that Zou Tianshu took out. The fluctuations of talent within it made them all feel a sense of heaviness and powerlessness.
"Hmph, this is the ultimate technique of my Onmyoji. Let's see how you withstand it."
Zou Tianshu stared at Ye Ru and snorted coldly.
"Back then, Zou Sheng was conferred the title of saint based on the Five Elements theory, and he also established the 'Theory of the Five Virtues' and the 'Theory of the Great Nine Provinces.' He was also a famous scholar of the Jixia Academy. As for you, you are a descendant of the orthodox Yin-Yang School, and you should have become the leader of the Yin-Yang School and be honored with the title of Donghuang Taiyi. Unfortunately, you could not withstand the persecution and turned to Yin-Yang Master. You even hindered my rise from humble beginnings. You are a disgrace to the Zou family. I will try this talisman."
Ye Ru also looked up, his gaze showing no fear, but rather a hint of mockery.
"The Four Symbols Formation, activate!"
Zou Tianshu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. He flicked the runes in his hand, which instantly transformed into four, forming a square around Ye Ru with lightning speed.
As the Daoist talisman separated, a strange talent energy connected in four directions, finally bursting forth as a powerful pillar of talent energy that shot straight into the sky.
Roar!
A beam of light shot into the sky, and the power of the Four Symbols—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—burst forth, carrying immense power, and enveloped Ye Ru.
"You talk big but are not sensible. A scholar should use his knowledge to understand the ways of the world. Your actions are far inferior to those of Zou Sheng."
Ye Ru looked at the four symbols, a solemn expression appearing on his face.
The students below gasped in astonishment at the sight, for it was the first time they had ever witnessed such a thing—the ability to summon the power of the Four Symbols.
"Brother Ye is likely to be in grave danger this time."
Xue Hanshu said with a worried look on his face.
"A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Don't worry, Brother Ye knows the danger this time and will definitely find a way to avoid it."
Zhang Guoqiang smiled, but he was also very uneasy. The Yin-Yang School was also closely related to the Taoism School, since the Five Elements theory was not much different from what they practiced.
Moreover, he also knew that the power of the Four Symbols was extremely strong.
"tripod."
Surrounded by onlookers, Ye Ru's expression was somewhat solemn, but he did not panic at all. With a flick of his finger, the golden inscription filled with the flames of the cauldron appeared and finally transformed into a huge cauldron.
"Hmph, with only a mere strand of Golden Script power, how can it compare to my Four Symbols power?"
Seeing that there was only one large cauldron, Zou Tianshu sneered.
"manage."
As Zou Tianshu finished speaking, another golden script, accompanied by golden light, emerged from between his eyebrows and finally transformed into a jade seal.
The character "司" refers to a dynasty, and the most representative item of a dynasty is the Imperial Seal of the State.
The appearance of the jade seal caused an uproar among the surrounding people.
"This is yet another bronze script inscription? And I've even mastered its bronze script power?"
Upon seeing this, Linghu Qingfeng's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock.
"Another power of bronze script? No way! One bronze script is enough for a scholar to study for a lifetime, and this Ye Tongsheng has actually mastered two?"
"mother."
As soon as everyone finished speaking, Ye Ru uttered another word, and another golden light transformed into a handful of soil. This soil exuded an extremely sacred aura, giving people a sense of divine radiance.
"The character 'mother'? According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Nuwa created humans and is the mother of heaven and earth. Since Nuwa created humans from clay, clay can also be regarded as the mother of humankind. This is the third bronze inscription..."
Wu Huazi's expression also turned extremely shocked at this moment, and he took out three gold inscriptions in a row, something that none of them could do.
"Rong!"
As the last word was uttered, the entire Yingwen Observatory erupted in chaos. Countless people stared blankly at the various ideographic characters formed from the four characters surrounding Ye Ru, a sense of horror creeping into the hearts of many scholars.
"Bow, spear, halberd, and dagger-axe were the five ancient weapons. This should be the character '戎' (rong). There are four bronze inscriptions and thirty-eight inscriptions containing profound meanings. This is simply terrifying."
Yu Mengyang gasped, her face filled with shock, and her heart was in turmoil.
"Indeed, to be able to comprehend four types of bronze inscriptions and thirty-eight sayings of the sages at the age of a child is simply to be called a prodigy."
Zhang Shuling swallowed hard, and exclaimed in shock.
"This is the first time I've ever seen this either."
Linghu Qingfeng and Yu Mengyang nodded simultaneously, both looking dazed.
"There are four bronze inscriptions? How is that possible!"
As Zou Tianshu looked at the four illusory powers that had materialized, his pupils shrank to the size of pinholes, and then he murmured.
He thought he knew all about the other party's secrets, but unexpectedly, even the wisest can make a mistake. The other party did not use his true skills at all when fighting Cao Feng.
Under the gaze of various eyes, Ye Ru raised his head, his gaze as cold as a blade, his calm voice echoing for a long time:
"I wonder if I am now able to rival your power of the Four Symbols?"
