Chapter 331: Learning to Fly
After spending almost the entire day exhausting himself, Yuan returned to the cabin.
Welcome back, young man. How do you feel? Grandpa Lan said to him.
I feel even better than before despite having less energy, Yuan said, feeling as though hed released all of his pent-up frustration by destroying countless boulders.
Good. Then let me tell you our plans. Grandpa Lan said, and he continued, Instead of waiting for the demons to invade us, were going to invade them before theyre fully prepared, and were going to do it in three days. Do you think youll be ready by then?
Three days, huh? I think I will be ready. Yuan nodded.
Great, then if you need anything until then, dont hesitate to let us know.
Sometime later, Yuan logged off for dinner.
After dinner, Yuan cultivated until the morning, reaching 6th level Spirit Warrior.
When he returned to the game, Yuan took a seat outside the cabin and began practicing his Qi Manifestation.
This is definitely much easier now that Im at the ninth level Spirit Master... Yuan mumbled to himself as he manifested the spiritual inside of his body without any effort at all.
After practicing for a couple of hours, a notification appeared before him.
[You have learned Qi Manifestation]
[Qi Manifestation]
[Rank: Earth]
[Description: Allows you to release your spiritual energy outside the body and use it as a weapon.]
Lets try this... Yuan stood up and turned to look at a tree that was a couple of meters from him.
After taking a deep breath, he imagined his spiritual energy leaving his body and forming a fist, aiming it directly at the tree.
Boom!
Yuans spiritual energy left his body and struck the tree a split second later, knocking the tree down.
Wow, what a powerful technique... But how will this help me fly?
After pondering for a moment, he went inside the cabin to find Grandpa Lan.
Grandpa Lan, you can fly, right? Can you teach me how to fly using Qi Manifestation? I just learned it.
You learned Qi Manifestation already? As expected of a genius... Grandpa Lan looked at him with slightly wide eyes, but compared to his other talents, this wasnt shocking at all.
If you know Qi Manifestation, then you also know Qi Manipulation. Try to manipulate the spiritual energy around you and control it. Once you control it, you can alter the gravity around you, allowing you to levitate. Practice enough and youll be able to fly.
I understand. Thank you for the advice.
Yuan went back outside to practice flying.
Once outside, he stood there silently without moving a muscle for many minutes, almost like hed turned into a statue.
He used Qi Manifestation and tried to manipulate the spiritual energy around him.
Once he got used to the feeling, he imagined the spiritual energy lifting his body into the air, and after many minutes of practice, hed managed to levitate himself a couple of inches off the ground.
What a fast learner. Grandpa Lan mumbled to himself as he watched Yuan practice from inside the cabin with his Divine Sense.
After practicing for a couple more hours, Yuan could eventually soar in the sky, albeit a little bit slow.
[You have learned Fly]
[Fly]
[Rank: Earth]
[Description: Allows you to fly in the sky. The faster you fly, the more Qi you consume.]
Although flying is fun, I think I still like flying with a sword.
With that in mind, Yuan retrieved the Empyrean Overlord and made it levitate in the air with Qi Manifestation.
Once he got used to controlling the sword in the air, he jumped on the sword and began surfing the air for the first time without Xiao Huas assistance.
Hahaha! This is great!
Yuan proceeded to fly around the Divine Forest for the next few hours until he was almost out of spiritual energy and covered in sweat.
I can fly around perfectly right now, but I wonder what will happen once I leave the Mystic Realm and lose my current cultivation base. Will I still be able to fly around since I have already learned the skills? And how much of my current cultivation will be transferred outside? Yuan wondered to himself as he returned to the cabin.
Welcome back, young man. Grandpa Lan said to him when he returned.
And when he noticed Yuans sweaty appearance, he said, Theres a small waterfall not far from here. Go clean yourself there. Do you need directions?
Yuan shook his head and said, I saw that during my training so I know where to go. Thank you!
He left the cabin again shortly after and flew to this waterfall that was a couple of miles away.
A few minutes after Yuan left, Grandpa Lan called for Lan Yingying.
Whats the matter, grandfather? she asked him.
A large grin appeared on his face before he spoke, The young mans cleaning himself at the waterfall. This is your chance to seduce him! Enter the water with him!
A-Are you serious, grandfather? Lan Yingying looked at him with wide eyes.
Does it look like I am joking? Grandpa Lan responded with a serious expression.
Old fart, dont force Yingying if she doesnt want to do it.
Nonsense! She shares the same bloodline as me! I can tell if she likes someone or not! Tell me, Yingying do you not like that young man? Even if you dont, its your duty to continue our bloodline! Grandpa Lan said to her.
After a moment of silence, Lan Yingying nodded with a solemn expression, I understand. Ill do my best.
Meanwhile, at the waterfall that has fresh and clean water, Yuan removed his clothes and quickly rinsed them in the waterfall before hanging them on a tree nearby.
After hanging the wet clothes, he went to test the waters before jumping right inside. This is his first time washing himself at a river, and there was even a waterfall right behind him.
