Chapter 0902: Dual Totemic Strength

Hong Mengshu lit up with excitement and smiled, "Which totemic rune are you planning to carve for me?"

"What type of totemic rune do you want?" Qin Yun was also considering which totemic rune would suit Hong Mengshu best.

"Yun bro, it seems you’ve mastered quite a few totemic runes!" Hong Mengshu said excitedly. "I want... a beast totem! Something fire-based!"

Qin Yun thought of the Nine Heavens Black Sparrow totemic rune—a very powerful beast totem.

"Alright, no problem! I’ll carve it on your arm!" Qin Yun chuckled. "Roll up your sleeves!"

"Carve it on both my arms!" Hong Mengshu rolled up her sleeves and giggled. "When I fight, the power of the totemic rune will surely be incredible!"

Hong Mengshu sat on a chair and placed her hands on the table.

Qin Yun used the Spirit Rhino Brush to begin carving the totemic rune.

He carved the Nine Heavens Black Sparrow totemic rune.

Qin Yun possessed the Totemic Runesoul, Flamefury Rune Soul, and Beast King Rune Soul—all three were now in play!

This ensured his Nine Heavens Black Sparrow rune would be exquisitely precise!

Qin Yun was also testing a theory to see whether carving a totemic rune on a human body could unleash even greater power.

Thanks to his multiple rune souls, Qin Yun could quickly finish the intricate and profound Nine Heavens Black Sparrow totemic rune.

On Hong Mengshu’s arm, a palm-sized rune flickered with faint fiery light.

"This is amazing! It’s like my arm’s alive!" Hong Mengshu marveled as she examined her forearm.

"Meng Shu, your left arm doesn’t have a totemic rune yet. Compare the strength difference between your left and right arms!" Qin Yun was also curious.

Hong Mengshu nodded and released her martial profound energy.

Two surges of martial profound energy flowed into her arms.

The energy entering her right arm, enhanced by the totemic rune, burst into a wave of fiery power!

Meanwhile, the energy released from her left arm, lacking a totemic rune, was noticeably weaker.

"The boost is huge!" Hong Mengshu laughed joyfully. "Yun bro, thank you! This power’ll make the trial a breeze!"

"Here, let me carve a totemic rune on your left arm too!" Qin Yun grinned, delighted to himself.

He had now mastered the technique of carving totemic runes on the human body!

Totemic runes carved on the body could unleash even greater power!

The Totem Pavilion had tried this before, but their carving methods were sloppy, resulting in limited power enhancement.

With totemic runes carved on both arms, Hong Mengshu could summon blazing flames when releasing her martial profound energy.

"Meng Shu, don’t let others see your totemic runes easily," Qin Yun cautioned.

"Understood!" Hong Mengshu nodded.

"Here’s an idea—I’ll carve another set of totemic runes on your abdomen. It might help protect your core (Dao Pill)!" Qin Yun got an idea and decided to carve a tree totem on her abdomen to see what it does.

"Alright!" Hong Mengshu was also very willing. She directly lay down on a table and pulled up her shirt to expose her abdomen.

Qin Yun was very familiar with the Tree Totem and also possessed the Totemic Runesoul, so he carved quickly.

"Brother Yun, what kind of totem did you carve on my arm? It looks like a bird!" Hong Mengshu asked curiously.

"A firebird! You must use it well in the future. You might even be able to unlock martial techniques through that totem!" Qin Yun laughed.

"Acquiring a totem is no simple feat, yet you can help others get one so effortlessly!" Hong Mengshu gasped in awe. "Brother Yun, you’re truly incredible!"

"I can even carve totems on your Martial Soul!" Qin Yun chuckled.

"Not my Martial Soul for now. Let’s wait a while longer!" Hong Mengshu asked, "What kind of totem did you carve on my belly?"

"A Tree Totem!" Qin Yun completed it in just a moment.

Hong Mengshu closed her eyes to sense it and said, "How magical! It feels like my energy core is tightly wrapped by tree roots!"

"Take these next two or three days to familiarize yourself with coordinating the totem and your martial power!" Qin Yun said. "I’ll go into seclusion for a bit first!"

"Alright!" Hong Mengshu also entered a training chamber to harmonize the compatibility between her power and the totem.

Once Qin Yun entered his room, he called out Shui Tianzi and Zi Qingcheng.

Zi Qingcheng’s Martial Soul was the Purple Gold Roc, and Qin Yun planned to carve the Nine Heavens Black Sparrow totem on it to see how it works.

Neither Zi Qingcheng’s nor Shui Tianzi’s Martial Souls weren't high-grade, so Qin Yun now intended to enhance them too.

It was also because their cultivation had advanced that Qin Yun dared to proceed. Even if mistakes occurred, with their current cultivation, there wouldn’t be much danger.

Three days passed!

Zi Qingcheng’s Purple Gold Roc Martial Soul now bore the Nine Heavens Black Sparrow totem, while Shui Tianzi’s Martial Soul had been refined by Qin Yun into a Purple Gold Flame Dragon Martial Soul, also engraved with a Dragon Totem.

"First, familiarize yourselves with these totems. If all goes well, I’ll carve more totems on you!" Qin Yun said with a smile.

"By then, you’ll carve totems all over my body. I want to cultivate a Celestial Dragon physique!" Shui Tianzi purred seductively.

"That’s your request, so don’t blame me for taking advantage later!" Qin Yun glanced at Shui Tianzi’s voluptuous body barely concealed by flimsy robes, curling his lips.

"I don’t mind you taking advantage!" Shui Tianzi giggled.

Qin Yun looked at Zi Qingcheng and said, "Sister Baozi, if you notice anything unusual, be sure to tell me immediately. After all, this is still experimental for me!"

Zi Qingcheng nodded. "Got it. If we encounter any issues, we’ll definitely inform you!"

After some thought, Qin Yun still felt uneasy and had her enter the third bead of the Nine Sun Divine Pith, letting Yao Fang guide them.

Since Yao Fang was bored anyway, having these two women accompany her wasn’t a bad idea.

Morning came, and the time agreed upon with Granny Wang had come.

Granny Wang and the Hunchback Steward arrived together at Qin Yun’s quarters.

The Hunchback Steward smiled. "I've got a Dragon Bell here. Let’s go test it out!"

Hong Mengshu, barely containing her excitement, bounded after the Hunchback Steward to the underground level of the Runesoul Hall!

In the underground chamber of the Runesoul Hall stood a colossal golden bell adorned with dragon carvings, several meters tall—even bigger than Qin Yun expected.

Hong Mengshu took a deep breath, then rushed toward the carved dragon bell, pouring her gathered martial energy into it!

The bell trembled, emitting a dragon's roar!

The energy Hong Mengshu infused into the bell was transformed by it, turning into two small golden dragons that flew out, circling around the bell.

"Double Dragon Force!" The Hunchback Steward exclaimed in astonishment.

"How... how is this possible? Meng Shu, ten days ago, you couldn't even summon one dragon's power!" Granny Wang was completely stunned, gazing at the smiling Qin Yun. "And you've even reached the Mid-stage Martial King Realm... Even with a breakthrough, you shouldn't have Double Dragon Force!"

Hong Mengshu hadn't even used her totem power yet—otherwise, it would have been even stronger!

The reason her martial energy was so potent was due to dual cultivation with the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra. The energy within her Dao Pill had been refined by Qin Yun's Immortal-Demon Physique and the power of the Dark Sun, making it no ordinary martial energy.

"Master, can I go to the Hundred Towers Sect now?" Hong Mengshu asked happily. If Qin Yun hadn't told her to conceal her strength, she could have unleashed the power of three dragons.

"Yes!" Granny Wang said, now looking at Qin Yun with new respect.

"Master, can you also get a testing slot for Brother Yun?" Hong Mengshu whispered. "With his strength, he would definitely pass the test!"

"Well... I can only secure one spot, and it's only available once every ten years," Granny Wang said reluctantly.

"It's fine, let Meng Shu take the test first! Whether I join the Hundred Towers Sect or not isn't important to me," Qin Yun said.

The Hunchback Steward chuckled. "With the Grand Master's abilities, even the Hundred Towers Sect would likely bend the rules to accept him, right?"

Granny Wang nodded. "Absolutely! After all, he's an outstanding young Runes Master."

Qin Yun said, "I have other business to handle and don’t wish to join any sects for now."

He had come to the Mystic Realm to search for the Dark Sun Soul, and besides that, he needed to learn about the local powers here.

Of course, the Mystic Realm Dragon Gate was another goal of his!

"If Meng Shu passes the test, she can bring someone in with her. However, that person won’t get the same benefits as her but can stay by her side. If they ever wish to leave the Hundred Towers Sect, they can do so freely," Granny Wang explained.

"Like a study companion!" The Hunchback Steward laughed. "Grand Master, if you want to check out the Hundred Towers Sect, this could be your way in."

"Alright," Qin Yun nodded.

"There’s a unified test held every year—in two months!" Granny Wang said. "We could leave immediately and reach the vicinity of the Hundred Towers Sect in about ten days."

"Two more months?" Qin Yun frowned.

"Brother Yun, if you have other matters, you can just come find us at the Hundred Towers Sect in two months," Hong Mengshu said.

Qin Yun took out a communication device and handed it to Hong Mengshu. "I’m not sure if I can make it in two months, but I’ll try."

Granny Wang said, "Meng Shu will definitely pass the test! Once you find her, she can apply to the Hundred Towers Sect to bring you in."

"Good," Qin Yun nodded.

Granny Wang left the Runes Master's Hall with Hong Mengshu, heading to the Hundred Towers Sect to gather information about the upcoming test in advance.

Qin Yun remained in the Runes Master's Hall.

He entered a private room, took out the Burial Immortal Scroll, and contacted Xie Qirou.

"Sister Qi Rou, I’ve arrived in the Mystic Realm! The Dark Sun Soul you sensed might be here!" Qin Yun said.

"Let me try to sense it through the Burial Immortal Scroll," Xie Qirou replied.

After a moment, Xie Qirou said, "Indeed, the Dark Sun Soul is here!"

"Sister Qi Rou, how are you progressing with the Heavenly Dao Art?" Qin Yun asked.

"Haven't made progress yet—it’s quite difficult!" Xie Qirou chuckled. "Little Yun, be patient. This is an exceptionally powerful Dao Art, after all."
