Chapter 82 (2/2)
Right now, any discussions about Dong Bo Xue Ying within Tranquil Sun province were becoming rare. Even his hometown – Water Rites Town – did not have many discussions over Xue Ying. After all, to them, Xue Ying was just a passing guest. Only when they were drinking would they occasionally sigh about the matter… After all, the Water Rites Town had actually given birth to such an amazing character.
Three years after Xue Ying fell into the Black-Wind Abyss…
A piece of news shocked the entire Azure River County, even reaching to the entire Tranquil Sun province.
The genius heaven-favored girl mage ‘Yu Jing Qiu’, had become One with the World and entered the realm of Legend ranks!
Entering Legend ranking was actually not rare.
But she was just 28 years old and had actually become a Legend ranking mage! That was too rare. Mages were fundamentally different from knights – in that knights could breakthrough as long as they comprehended the World Energy. But for mages, they would have to consolidate their understanding gradually and analyse the many spell matrices and that of the World energy to a certain level before they could finally step into the realm of One with the World!
Just 28 years? She was indeed quite a monster.
******
Within the Eternal Wind Academy.
The Autumn rain sprinkled down. Today, many discussions could be heard within the academy about the female mage ‘Yu Jing Qiu’. Although she could not compare with Dong Bo Xue Ying, the mosnter seen only once in a hundred years in the entire empire, Yu Jing Qiu was already quite capable in her own ways, with such a talent appearing once every 18 years in the Dragon Mountain Empire.
“Jing Qiu,” A gentle voice could be heard.
Yu Jing Qiu was sitting within a pavilion, drinking a cup of tea while looking out at the sprinkles of Autumn rain. After this breakthrough, she felt quite excited within her heart, yet it was quelled the moment she thought of that genius.
“Teacher?” Yu Jing Qiu turned towards the source of the voice. Standing up, she saw a white-bearded old man carrying an umbrella walking towards her.
“Jing Qiu, have you decided? Are you ready to enter one of the Transcendents’ organisation?” The white-bearded old man said.
“Teacher, you and the Academy principal and many other Legend rankers within the Academy are all part of the Water Daoist Faction.” Yu Jing Qiu said, “I would of course join the Water Daoist Faction as well.”
The Water Daoist Faction was an extremely big Transcendent organisation.
“The Temple of Earth God values you quite greatly, and even gave you quite good conditions for joining them. Aren’t you going?” The white-bearded old man laughed.
“The Temple of Earth God is more strict about giving freedom.” Yu Jing Qiu shook her head, “I don’t like to battle and kill. I only want to discover more about the spells peacefully and freely, investigating more about the mystery behind nature.” “Mn.” The white-bearded old man nodded lightly, “Good. Then you should prepare yourself. One of these days, I’ll bring you to the Northern Great Snowy Plains to visit the Water Daoist Faction. Thereafter, I’ll bring you to the Infernal World! All of this elementary knowledge is stuff I told you before, so do finish the mundane matters before we leave.”
“I understand.” Yu Jing Qiu nodded.
…
Within the valley of Black-Wind Abyss, inside a dilapidated underground Great Hall within the Black-Wind Deity Palace.
A black-robed young man was seen bending his body. In his hands, there was a dagger that swiftly cut away his messy hair. With his control of the World Energy, he was able to have a fine sensing of every single strand of his hair. Very quickly, he was able to cut his hair into a simple and casual hairstyle. When he was young, he would always have the habit of having a short hairstyle whilst training diligently every day. After all, having long hair could be very troublesome, and thus, he did not want to waste time on such matters.
Following that, a flame appeared out of thin air, incinerating all his cut hair into ashes.
It had been six years.
There were not many changes in Xue Ying’s facial countenance, except the expression within his eyes that showed him being more reclusive along with his entire character being more aloof.
Being trapped in this place for six full years with only two Transcendent refiner organisms to talk to, how boring and mundane were the days here? Initially when he started, Xue Ying felt uncomfortable already. Fortunately, all these years were spent madly training in his spear techniques, allowing him to slowly conform to such loneliness!
“Monkey, come. Let’s fight.” With a single move of his hand, the Flying Snow God Spear appeared in Xue Ying’s hand.
“Master, you only know how to bully me.” The golden ape felt depressed.
“I’ve always feel that my spear technique is not right. Stop grumbling and just receive my spear.” As Xue Ying was still contemplating in his heart over the problem with his spear technique, he executed a move right at the golden ape, beginning their exchange and at the same time, pondering over his problem while sparring.
Initially, he did not feel any problems existed with his own spear technique.
Yet the more he cultivated and trained within the Great Hall, the more he felt that there was a huge problem with his spear technique, something that became more uncomfortable as time wore on.
