Chapter 1832 - 671: Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm (Part 3)

"But no matter what, we must solve this chess puzzle to see the true essence."

Little Situ nodded and started to look as well.

Su Mo heard her stop talking and smiled, saying:

"Did you notice anything?"

Little Situ shook her head slightly:

"Although there are elders at home who love the art of chess, most are bad players.

"So I haven’t learned any skills from it.

"However... Brother Su, you now have many talented people under your command, surely there is someone wise enough to solve this chess puzzle."

Su Mo’s eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"I was so shortsighted, failing to see the bigger picture.

"I was only thinking about solving the problem myself, forgetting that I am no longer in a position where I have nobody to rely on.

"That’s right, now the Nanhai Group and the Xizhou Jianghu Alliance have many people on Imperial Court Mountain. If I can’t solve it alone, they might be able to.

"I should seek their help."

"Su... Brother Su..."

Little Situ’s voice suddenly softened, embarrassed beyond words.

Su Mo was stunned, realizing in his excitement, he accidentally held Little Situ’s hand.

Turning to look at Little Situ, he found her face had turned completely red.

Chuckling silently, he was about to let go, but Little Situ, sensing his intention, reversed and held his big hand tightly.

"Brother Su..."

Little Situ mustered her courage to meet Su Mo’s gaze.

Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat, then he smiled gently, pulling her from behind to the front, embracing her.

Little Situ leaned against Su Mo’s chest, feeling her heart pounding like a drum, she couldn’t help but whisper:

"Brother Su... I feel like I’m dreaming."

Su Mo gently exhaled, gazing into Little Situ’s face, and whispered:

"The journey thus far, you’ve truly endured hardships.

"I am merely Su, how could I deserve such deep kindness from you..."

Little Situ reached out to cover his mouth, speaking softly:

"Even if speaking of deep kindness, it’s Brother Su whose kindness to me is as deep as the sea.

"Ever since that night outside Tianqu City, I... my heart has already..."

Saying this, she ultimately couldn’t bear the embarrassment and buried her face in Su Mo’s shoulder:

"You know what I mean..."

Su Mo’s mouth curved slightly:

"Know what?

"If you don’t explain, how could I understand?"

"Ah?"

Little Situ suddenly raised her head, thinking Su Mo truly didn’t understand.

As their eyes met, she saw his mouth curve slightly with a teasing look, immediately feeling deeply embarrassed:

"Brother Su... you’re... you’re teasing me..."

After saying this, she hurriedly jumped out of Su Mo’s embrace, ’pretending to be fierce’ and glared at him before quickly tidying up the tray and leaving.

Su Mo watched her back, after a while, smiled again.

But as he turned his gaze to the chess puzzle, he furrowed his brows once more.

As he pondered, the system’s prompt interrupted.

[Settlement complete!]

[Reward received: Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm (Great Success)]

Su Mo blinked in surprise.

Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm?

The name... why does it sound unfamiliar?

But as the Heart Method Scripture arrived swiftly, Su Mo didn’t overthink it.

He got up and left the hall, returning to the room he shared with Yang Xiaoyun.

Inside the room, Yang Xiaoyun was already asleep.

In recent days, her physical condition was changing more obviously, showing signs of sleepiness.

Su Mo didn’t go up to disturb, instead, he sat on a chair beside her.

Adjusting the inner breath within his body.

With the system rewards appearing, two completely different types of inner strength rose from the Dantian.

These two forces, one Pure Yang and one Pure Yin.

Following the Inner Cultivation Method of Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm, it could achieve Qian Kun in harmony, sun and moon in the sky.

And these two forces of inner strength, freshly emerged, indeed aroused dissatisfaction among various inner strengths within Su Mo’s body.

Yet every time this happened, Yixuan Divine Skill, the elder brother, would come out to mediate.

But this time, the situation was unexpectedly different for Su Mo.

All Su Mo’s studies were exquisite.

Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm’s Heart Method Scripture was undoubtedly a transcendently exquisite method.

However, the Yin Yang Qi did not stand out.

The two forces of inner strength arose within him, without waiting for Yixuan Divine Skill to come to escort, the Pure Yang Inner Power was assimilated by the Absolute Skill of Ziyang Sect within Su Mo’s body.

As for Pure Yin, it goes without saying.

Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy certainly wasn’t easy-going.

This inner strength was born and fused instantly, causing the Yin Yang inner strengths within Su Mo’s body to surge.

Not a trace of Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm’s inner strength was left...

This situation, even Su Mo hadn’t anticipated.

Immediately, as an idea struck him, he decided to circulate these Yin Yang inner strengths within his body according to the way Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm operates.

It was surprisingly smooth, responding perfectly to his command.

Opening his eyes, one hand holding Pure Yang burst with a purple flame from the palm.

The other hand holding Pure Yin was instantly covered with frost.

The two palms intertwined, moving by leveraging the momentum, Yin Yang united, if thrown out, it would be an astonishing showdown.

At this time, Su Mo abruptly spread his two hands apart, slowly suppressing these two restless inner breaths, channeling them back to the Dantian.

He exhaled lightly:

"Interesting...

"Although the Yin Yang Qi of this martial arts is somewhat weak, it was directly assimilated by the two types of inner strength within me.

"But also because of this, the original Yin Yang inner strengths within me can now merge rather than remain distinct.

"Yin Yang can unite, or separate, hence achieving harmony and multiplying their power.

"However... where exactly does this Cold Ice and Blazing Fire Palm come from?

"Why do I feel it’s somewhat familiar, yet can’t recall it?"

He muttered to himself but didn’t think further.

Looking at Yang Xiaoyun still asleep, he smiled, lay down behind her, gently hugging her.

Then he heard Yang Xiaoyun hum:

"Ow... you’re pressing on my hair."

"..."

Su Mo silently moved back a little.

Yang Xiaoyun smacked her lips, looked back at Su Mo, yawned sleepily, then snuggled into Su Mo’s arms, finding a comfortable spot to continue sleeping.
