Chapter 350: I want to fly higher and higher (2/2)
But right at this time, he felt as though he had lost control of his body. Just as before, that burst of energy was continuously surging and the powerful force beneath his feet wasn't showing any signs of stopping.
At last, Song Shuhang broke through the surface of the sea like a missile. Without the resistance of the water, the speed at which he was rising toward the sky became even faster.
”...” Song Shuhang.
”Senior White, the brakes! How do I brake?!” Song Shuhang shouted. He even unconsciously used the ❮Roaring Lion's Technique❯. His voice was deafening and spread very far away.
But did Senior White even have the concept of 'braking' in his mind? The answer was: no. The only concepts in Senior White's mind were: speed increasing, 3x speed, 5x speed, 10x speed, x.x.x speed. Something like braking wasn't worth considering!
And just in this fas.h.i.+on, Song Shuhang shot toward the sky, flying higher and higher.
He had been too naive! Although there was no coiling flight feature, there was the rocket-style speed increasing feature!
The happiness I long for lies in the higher skies~ I want to fly higher and higher, dancing like the wild wind, escaping the earth's embrace~ I want to fly higher and higher~ the wings stirring up a storm, and the heart howling~ fly higher and higher...
”Oh… after I removed all the other features and changed the energy of the Ten Thousand Mile Flying Escape Technique into an upward thrusting force, the strength of the generated propelling force turned out to be vastly superior to what I had expected… I need to further improve this part.” After seeing Song Shuhang shoot up in the sky, Venerable White started to think about how to develop the 'disposable Song Shuhang 002 edition'.
Wait, I shouldn't be thinking about improvements right now. I should save Song Shuhang first.
Venerable White calmly took a wooden sword out of his sleeve——he had prepared this sword beforehand.
”Disposable meteor sword 001, go! Safely return little friend Song Shuhang here!” Venerable White activated the sword art, and the wooden sword shot up in the sky, chasing after Song Shuhang's silhouette.

At the same time, those huge sea waves clashed against the sandy beach with a loud sound. After clas.h.i.+ng against the island, they broke into tiny pieces and dispersed, changing into raindrops that returned to the sea.
On the sandy beach, Wolf One and the company were lying on the ground, not even having the strength to stand up.
Venerable White calmly gazed at them. Afterward, he shot a glance at the far-off submarine, faintly smiling. Next, Senior White didn't pay any attention to Wolf One and the others, letting them lie on the beach like corpses.
Wolf One and company gasped for breath, trying to slowly recover their strength.
At the same time, Bull Two shot a glance at Venerable White. He had no idea what this cultivator was planning to do. Since he bothered to drag them onto the sandy beach, why didn't he take any action but left them here, drying in the sun?

Venerable White picked up Yu Jiaojiao with his hand and said with a smile, ”Thank you, Jiaojiao. You saved me a lot of trouble this time. Is there any matter you need help with?”
He needed to give Yu Jiaojiao a gift for their first meeting. Moreover, she even helped him, wouldn't it be embarra.s.sing if he were to give her nothing in return? He couldn't let that happen.
Yu Jiaojiao's body started to become pink; she seemed somewhat embarra.s.sed.
In the next moment, she said, ”Senior White, there is indeed something I need help with.”
”Do tell. Let's see if I can fulfill this wish of yours,” Venerable White said with a smile.
”I wondered if you could help me experience the 'shapes.h.i.+fting dragon gate'.” Yu Jiaojiao's body became even pinker, but her small eyes were looking at Venerable White expectantly.
Venerable White's smile disappeared, and he gazed at Yu Jiaojiao with a serious expression on his face. ”The shapes.h.i.+fting dragon gate? Are you sure?”
In regards to cultivation, although monster cultivators had a very long lifespan compared to humans, their cultivation speed was several times slower than humans before they could condense a Monster Core and a.s.sume a human form.
Before condensing their Monster Core, they wouldn't be able to a.s.sume a human form even if they had already reached the peak of the Fourth Stage Realm.
That was of course unless they had had some kind of lucky encounter—like Lady Onion in Song Shuhang's pocket, or if they were part of a particular race. In that case, they would have the opportunity to change into a half-human form while in the Fourth Stage Realm.
Amongst snakes were several species of monster snakes that would shed ten layers of snakeskin every realm, and after they had reached the Fourth Stage Realm and shed their snakeskin forty times, they could turn the upper part of their bodies into that of a human while the lower part would remain that of a monster snake. Monsters snakes such as lamias were very famous in Chinese legends.
Monster fishes also had the opportunity to a.s.sume a half-human form. They were precisely those mermaids in legends.
But unlike monster snakes, who only needed to shed their snakeskin, monster fishes needed the help of a Seventh Stage Venerable to gain the ability to change into half-human form. The Venerable would have to cast a shapes.h.i.+fting illusion spell on them while they were trying to break through the Fourth Stage Realm.
After experiencing the spell, they would be able to change into a half-human form, greatly increasing the speed of their cultivation. However, the difficulty in breaking through would also increase tenfold, if not more.
”Yes, I'm sure.” Yu Jiaojiao's voice was still lovely as before, but also very resolute. ”I've already prepared all the materials, offerings, and spirit stones necessary for the creation of the shapes.h.i.+fting dragon gate.”
It seemed that she hadn't decided to experience the shapes.h.i.+fting dragon gate on a whim. She had been preparing for it for years, if not decades.
”I see.” Venerable White faintly nodded and added, ”But I have a condition.”
Then, he shot a glance at Song Shuhang who had already turned into a black dot...
