Chapter 60 New Ability: [Windwalking]
Encountering an evil attack? Nearly lost your life?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi glanced in the direction where Qin Lie and his daughter had left, but didn't pay much attention.
In this world, everyone has their share of troubles.
"Alright, go about your business." Jiang Qi waved his hand and turned to go into the washroom.
Brewing medicine and cultivating oneself are the right paths.
......
And so, night fell.
Inside the water room, Jiang Qi swallowed a Blood Nourishing Pill he had just obtained.
The tonic given by someone like the Hall Master is truly exceptional. Although it is not as good as the Blood Nourishing Pill given by Shen Yi of the Demon Suppression Division, it is several times better than the ordinary Blood Nourishing Pill.
Once the elixir entered the stomach, it instantly transformed into a torrent, spreading throughout the limbs and bones, and finally converging into the blood and qi in the chest.
Under the nourishment of the powerful medicinal properties, the budding sixth blood and qi within the body grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The sixth flow of Qi and blood is complete!" Jiang Qi felt a surge of joy.
The first five streams of Qi and blood, after being refined through the [Blood Gathering] technique, are each comparable to two streams of ordinary martial arts. When all five streams are perfected, all ten streams are perfected.
With the sixth and eleventh level, he has now truly surpassed the Blood-Burning Realm, the first level of martial arts!
Let's look at the [Book of a Hundred Trades] again:
[Class: Shadow Blade Master]
[Level: 1 (556/1000)]
【Occupation: Moonlight Envoy】
[Level: 2 (697/3000)]
【Wind Chaser Step (Mastery): 481/500】
【Dragon Swimming (Beginner): 12/100】
【Windbreaker Blade: Perfection (Wind Slash)】
"My strength has improved rapidly, but this world... is fraught with danger." Jiang Qi's gaze was serious. "We cannot let our guard down..."
He stepped out of the water room and saw the clear moonlight. As usual, he went to the well to prepare to use [Moonlight] to collect moonlight water.
dong dong...
In the darkness of night, a few soft sounds of pebbles falling to the ground could be heard.
Ok?
Jiang Qi's expression changed drastically, his gaze flashing like lightning as he suddenly shot towards the shadows of the eaves to the side.
Meow!
A dark shadow darted nimbly across the rooftop and disappeared into another dark corner.
wildcat?
Jiang Qi's eyes were fixed on the shadow.
next moment.
A sudden change has occurred!
From the darkness, a black misty shadow rushed straight at Jiang Qi's face with lightning speed!
Its speed was far beyond what was expected.
Jiang Qi was prepared and struck instantly.
However, before the blade could strike the shadowy figure, another unexpected event occurred.
The black mist that lunged at him seemed to have hit a wall, suddenly freezing in mid-air.
"Sizzle!!"
A piercing scream erupted from the misty shadows.
Immediately afterwards, the misty shadow twisted and rolled violently, as if enduring immense pain, with black mist constantly rising from its surface.
At the same time, the tortoise bead in Jiang Qi's arms emitted a faint light, and the triangular talisman for warding off evil given by Pang Zhan also became scalding hot.
Those who come are evil and treacherous!
As he pondered, something suddenly seemed to leap out from the misty shadows, hissing at Jiang Qi:
"Hehehe...Found you...Finally found you..."
"...The Locked Dragon Well...hehehe...it's all mine..."
With a final, malicious whisper, the black mist dissipated into wisps of black smoke, vanishing into the night wind.
The water pavilion returned to silence, with only the water in the well rippling gently, reflecting the cool moonlight.
But Jiang Qi's brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was as still as water.
"Found you?"
What does that mean?
Could it be... that evil spirit that possessed Yan Beifeng and was scared away by the tortoise bead has come knocking on our door?
If it were that evil creature, with my current strength, I could easily kill it head-on.
But the evil shadowy figure just now was clearly more bizarre and troublesome than the one that had possessed Yan Beifeng before.
Moreover, this dark figure seems to be merely scouting ahead...
Is there something even more terrifying behind this?
In an instant, a sense of crisis and urgency surged into my heart.
Looking at the faintly glowing tortoise-shaped bead, Jiang Qi finally calmed down.
"It seemed extremely wary of the tortoise pearl, and didn't even dare to get too close..."
The light from the tortoise-shaped pearl in his arms gradually faded, and he looked again at the deep, dark Suolong Well. "What secrets does this well hold?"
He really wanted to go down into the well to explore, but when he thought that such a rare object as the tortoise bead came from the Suolong Well, he gave up the idea.
"Strength! Or is the strength still insufficient!"
"We must become stronger faster!"
If one could reach the Bone Strengthening Realm, one wouldn't need to be so hesitant and cautious about many things as one is now.
"The next step is to pass the Martial Arts Examination, enter the Martial Arts System, obtain a more systematic martial arts inheritance, higher-level martial arts techniques, and perhaps even access secret records about evil and the Dragon-Locking Well!"
For the next few days, Jiang Qi almost forgot to eat and sleep.
All his time was spent either honing his "Wind Chasing Step" at the martial arts school or brewing medicine and collecting moonlight water at the water workshop.
Their strength is rapidly improving.
During this time, Miss Qin seized the opportunity of delivering water to sneak out once more.
She confronted Jiang Qi angrily, warning him not to "inform" on her again.
Jiang Qi agreed on the spot, and then immediately informed Qin Lie.
As a result, Qin Hongyu was taken back again, while Jiang Qi received another bottle of high-quality Blood Nourishing Pills, making it a win-win situation for everyone.
The sparring matches within the martial arts school are becoming increasingly heated.
Furthermore, Xuan Le's Zhenyue Martial Arts School even came to Zhenyuan Martial Arts School for sparring sessions on several occasions.
One of them, Yue Qing, also possessed six types of Qi and blood. He was the son of the master of Zhenyue Martial Arts School and had sparred with Xu Zhao of Zhenyuan Martial Arts School many times, but the outcome was still uncertain.
The rivalry between the two museums is escalating.
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was the day before the Martial Arts Examination.
......
Inside the water room.
Jiang Qi slowly finished his practice, his blood and qi gradually calmed down, and his eyes shone with inner light.
The sixth channel of Qi and blood in the body has already grown to the thickness of a willow twig.
[Shadow Chaser Swordsman: Level 1 (689/1000)]
[Moonlight Envoy: Level 2 (907/3000)]
【Wind Chaser Step (Mastery): 498/500】
【Dragon Swimming (Beginner): 52/100】
【Windbreaker Blade: Perfection (Wind Slash)】
"The 'Chasing the Wind' is just one step away from being perfect."
Jiang Qi assumed a fighting stance, his feet moving with the speed of the wind, his figure shifting, turning, and flashing within the small space.
At first, you could still see afterimages, but later it seemed to transform into a wisp of breeze, drifting erratically under the moonlight, elusive and hard to grasp.
[Wind Chaser Step] +1
[Wind Chaser Step] +1...
Completely absorbed in it, I forgot about time and my surroundings.
At a certain moment.
As if breaking through some kind of barrier, his steps were not hindered at all. He moved as soon as he wanted, fast or slow, turning and twisting as he pleased.
Deep within consciousness, the [Book of a Hundred Trades] shimmered with light, and golden characters appeared:
【Wind Chaser Step: Perfection (Windwalking)】
[Effect: Windwalking - Slightly increases movement speed and evasion ability; allows one to briefly gain airtime or change direction twice during a short period of time.]
It's done! The "Wind Chaser Step" is now complete! And it even gives rise to the "Windwalking" effect!
Jiang Qi's face lit up with joy.
The [Windwalking] effect, though simply described, is incredibly useful in practice, whether for chasing, dodging, or creating attack opportunities!
Especially that brief moment of leverage in mid-air, if used well, can be a killer move.
He tried it immediately.
With a swift movement, he shot towards the courtyard wall like an arrow released from a bow. Just before touching the wall, his toes seemed to touch something solid in mid-air. With a gentle tap, his body miraculously turned to the other side and landed easily.
"Wonderful!" Jiang Qi thought with delight.
With this skill, the weakness in movement is further compensated, and the overall combat power is raised to a new level!
After calming himself down a bit, he went to the well again to complete his daily collection of Moon Essence Water.
