Jiang Mang is now trying to combine these two techniques, to form one technique called the thirteen movements of emotions and desires. This technique would use the speed, charm, and heart intent in conjunction to form a technique, that could be used with Charm dance to form a set technique of a movement and offensive technique. This set technique would be capable of charming opponents while also functioning as close combat skills.
Jiang Mang had decided to mainly use charm to interrupt, stun, or confuse his opponents before finishing them with the thirteen close combat attacks. The thirteen movements could also be combined into a dance when used in combination with Charm dance to provide manipulation of the heart capabilities in the dance itself, which would increase the chance of successfully charming a target.
Unfortunately, The technique couldn't be utilized, until he fused the fist and palm technique into a whole. Which would be the moment of his intent advancement. Gu Hei ended their spar by defeating Jiang Mang. She was shocked by his improvements in only a short time and started viewing him as a monster. She had even evaluated the two individual techniques to rival high tier Di techniques, while the combination of the two should be rated as a quasi Tian technique if it is completed.
She also knew that the technique would be further improved upon as he raised his cultivation and had the potential to become an immortal technique, which was a technique perfected by those who had ascended and contained the essence or legacy of an ascendant.
While she was pondering about Jiang Mang's potential, he had exited his mind as the group was again ready to depart. He started playing his flute of life to scout their surroundings when he detected two people spying on their group from the shadows sixty meters away from them. He immediately warned his teammates, who immediately became combat-ready while forming a defensive qi formation.
Jiang Mang's action had startled the two persons, who decided to attack now that their position was exposed., but they were a step too late as they were getting attacked by all the plants that surrounded them.
They were, however, ineffective as the two were way stronger than the plants were capable of trapping.
After they escaped, they appeared before the group of four and immediately attacked. The two were the siblings Zhao Mo, and Zhao Yin ranked second and third in the top 100 genius rankings. The Zhao siblings were shocked as they didn't expect someone to be capable of discovering them during the recruitment test. They had decided to capture Jiang Mang before interrogating him about his detection ability before eliminating him.
Jiang Mang and his friends were also shocked by the power of the duo. They had also recognized the duo's identity after they had shown themselves. They immediately gave their all to avoid getting killed by their opponents. Jiang Mang released a poisonous miasma capable of making peak saints hallucinate through his poison intent while bringing his death zither out to trap them with Illusion song combined with his death qi.
The poison would also slowly erode their qi, which would quicken their qi consumption and lower their qi quality to lower their attack power. His teammates wouldn't be affected as they had taken a prepared antidote which he had created. Feng Xue used ranged fire attacks to hinder her opponents, while Chu Lingxin sent sword waves through the air, which weakened the duo's ranged attacks. Hua Ye had conjured two giant sea serpents out of water qi, which entangled the duo who were being trapped and bombarded.
Zhao Mo and Zhao Yin had directly summoned their profound spirits to start attacking Jiang Mang's group of four, but they were immediately trapped inside an illusion maze, which couldn't be destroyed in a short time.
They were also constantly being eroded by the poison which put them in a disadvantageous position. Zhao Mo and Zhao Yin were capable of defending themselves while occasionally counterattacking, which created a stalemate.
The siblings were the first party to give in, by starting a conversation. Zhao Mo took the word by shouting the following: "We are now in a stalemate, and I think both of our groups aren't willing to make sacrifices during the recruitment when nothing serious has happened yet."
Hua Ye responded by agreeing before asking back: "How do you plan, to settle our differences then, without leaving loopholes."
Zhao Mo responded with: " I propose, that both groups swear a heart demon oath to not interfere with each other again during the whole of the recruitment. That boy in your group, however, has to inform us how he detected us while we were using our shadow techniques."
Hao Ye agreed after discussing with Jiang Mang before both groups swore heart demon oaths to not attack or interfere with each other during the remainder of the recruitment. Then everyone stowed their weapons back. The siblings then joined Jiang Mang's group to hear about Jiang Mang's ability while sharing a meal. Zhao Mo and Zhao Yin were shocked when they learned of his blindness and inner view through his music.
Both groups started getting along with each other due to the restraint of the demon oaths and started sharing their cultivation experiences. They did this due to the rare circumstances which allowed them to meet equally talented rivals. Jiang Mang's group was unique due to the young Feng Xue and Jiang Mang, who had to offer many unique insights to the siblings who specializes in shadow and darkness techniques.
The siblings were mostly captivated by Jiang Mang, who was blind and used to the darkness and had his comprehension of it. Jiang Mang was also the person of his group who had the biggest gains, he had gained many insights for his hidden weapon mastery and his ability to assassinate targets, while Zhao Yin also cultivated charm techniques.
Zhao Yin and Jiang Mang even start discussing their comprehension about the dao of charm. Zhao Yin had reached great accomplishment in her charm intent by comprehending it through this sentence: " Charm is a path of control, it is a path that entails comprehending your own heart by controlling the heart of others."
Jiang Mang had almost reached great accomplishment and his comprehension of Charm laid completely in the set technique of Charm dance and thirteen movements of emotions and desires.
They both differed in their end goal, where one is control and understanding, and the other is killing or enslaving.
They ended disagreeing with each other and decided to spar against each other while utilizing charm techniques.
Zhao Yin started by utilizing a technique named nine demonic steps, which utilized the movements of the womanly figure during the steps to charm men and take control of their hearts. Jiang Mang used his inner view when he played a leaf to witness her technique while trying to withstand it. Jiang Mang was watching her technique, which tried to arouse the desire of lust and the emotion of love in his heart. The intensity of the technique grew with each of her steps. The intensity reached a peak at the ninth step when a diagram had formed inside of his mind. This diagram would take control of him if he couldn't control his desires of lust and emotions of love, which would allow the diagram to imprint Zhao Yin's image inside of his heart and make those feelings permanent.
Jiang Mang had successfully withstood her technique, which she had expected, but with more ease, than she had anticipated. Jiang Mang had however become enlightened how to combine his seven emotions fist and desireless palm. He comprehended that the technique lacked a common basis for which he would use his own image. He would use his image experiencing the seven emotions and desires individually to impact their emotions and severe their desires while condensing his image into a desire seed.
