Chapter 271 – Goose Feather Not Floating! (2/2)

————————

The sky and the earth were boundless, the cold wind whistling.

The vast white sea in front, under the s.h.i.+ning light of the red moon quieten down like a baby.

The waves were hushed and the billows were calmed.

Even when the wind blew, there was not a ripple on the water.

The crowd stood in twos and three along the sh.o.r.e, staring at the sea in front with an expression of sadness.

These people were wearing the white starry cloud uniforms of Starry Sky Academy. It seemed that they were Starry Sky students that were sent here by the water moon mirror.

“We are in the illusion of magic water, so, as the name suggests, our main objective of exploration is this water——” A tall Starry Sky student pointed to the sea in front and said loudly: “I am Wu Chou, from Renchuan of Dawu——”

Someone gasped before whispering: “Dawu's Renchang is the territory of the Nine heaven sword sect. The founder of the Nine heaven sword sect also has the surname Wu. He is called Wu Daoxian, a very famous person of the divine continent——”

“Our Nine heaven sword sect is skilled in water martial arts, today let me throw a brick to attract a jade. I will perform my family's [Nine heaven diving water technique] to explore this sea, so that fellow cla.s.smates can advance without worry——”

At the time of speaking, Starry Sky student Wu Chou was already several metres above the ground, his body hovering across the heads of the crowd towards the white sea.

Wu Chou was deliberately showing off his family's [Nine heaven dividing water technique], a mysterious skill that causes essential qi to flow naturally around the whole body when entering water. It creates a transparent barrier, dividing the water and clearing the obstructing body of water.

However, Wu Chou was still in mid-air, when he had already activated the [Nine heaven dividing water technique], and a near-transparent qi instantly enveloped his body. His body was covered by the cloak of qi and there seemed to be no abnormality.

Also, when the wind blew, his long hair was still neat and tidy, and his clothes did not flutter. It seemed that the transparent cloak not only divided the water, but it also resisted the attack of foreign objects.

“Senior has impressive skills——”

“What a beautiful [Nine heaven dividing water technique]——”

“Brother please advance first, w.a.n.g Lei will enter the water in a short while——”

The crowd shouted.

Wu Chou cupped his hands in salute at the many academy brothers standing at the sh.o.r.e. “I will go in first, I'll wait for you guys at the bottom.”

“Senior, if the water is not dangerous, can you come back to inform us?” A fatty in the crowd shouted out.

The crowd roared with laughter, then one person said aloud, “Fatty, are you afraid? Brother Wu Chou has mysterious skills to defend himself and has [divide heaven and divide water technique] to avoid water, what is the danger? He could just kill any beasts or sea monsters that he encounters with his sword——Who enters first can go find the artifacts and treasures first. This is an adventure, why do people have to come back to inform you?”

The fatty was ashamed, he felt his face flus.h.i.+ng with embarra.s.sment. “I just ask, casually ask——”

There were also some unfathomable people, staring at the white sea with a gloomy expression, but looking at Wu Chou's back view with an ironic smile.

Wu Chou gave a cupped fist salute at the surrounding crowd and said: “See you guys later.”

After that, the sphere of water slowly descended into and below the surface of the sea.

Just as it touched the water, it disappeared with a 'swish'.

Some even heard a shrill cry of panic of Wu Chou's voice.

The crowd looked at each other.

“What the h.e.l.l was that?”

“Did you hear the cry of Senior brother Wu Chou? I thought I heard something——when his feet fell into the water, his expression turned terrified——”

“It was as if some monster had bit onto his feet and dragged him under the water——”

“Senior brother Wu Chou——” The kind students shouted loudly.

No one answered.

“Brother Wu Chou, Mo and I were joking——”

The water was calm and there was no response.

The waters of river and sea drowned people. A man that was in perfectly good condition had suddenly disappeared.

All people had a bad feeling inside. It was likely Wu Chou cla.s.smate had been killed already.

Someone threw a stone into the sea, and the stone immediately disappeared with a 'swish'. On the water surface there was not a ripple.

Another person tore off the corner of his robe and gently blew it into the water.

The cloth was carried by the cold wind, drifting onto the water surface.

Swish——–

The cloth also disappeared.

When the crowd looked at the white water in front again, each and every face grew ashen pale.

The water was very strange!
