Chapter 395: Chapter 280: Soaring to the Skies

The feathers of the Winged People’s Transcendent Species form on the wings of the Winged People, and one of these feathers will condense Star Power and turn into a Transcendent Species after death.

Ji Xinghuo quickly found it.

At the tip of the wings of the Sound Wave Stringer, among the dense and neatly arranged white feathers, one was transparent.

He pulled it out completely, about fifteen centimeters in length, as light as nothing. When the transparent feather moved in the air, it stirred a weak air disturbance. Ji Xinghuo released his grip, and without any wind, it floated up and hung in midair, never touching the ground, which was quite marvelous.

Ren Mian saw this scene and immediately became curious.

"Is this a feather of the Winged People?" she asked, not unfamiliar with the Transcendent Species of the Winged People’s feathers, but she had never seen this form before.

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

The moment he touched the transparent feather, information popped up in his vision.

[Alien Species: Shock Wave Turbulence]

[Grade: Transcendent]

[Fusion Success Rate: 91%]

[Can It Be Upgraded: Yes]

The name of this species was far different from "Winged Man Feather," but from the form of the species, it seemed to be a variant of the Winged People’s feather, also a type of flying ability.

Ji Xinghuo guessed that this was related to the abilities of the Sound Wave Stringer.

What exactly the effects were, he would need to fuse with it to find out. Currently, he did not know how to answer Ren Mian, so he simply said it could also be a Winged Person’s feather.

"Do you want to fuse with it?" Ren Mian asked.

"Yes, so I want to give it a try," Ji Xinghuo replied.

Ren Mian was not surprised, "Flying is one of the abilities everyone desires the most, but flying ’Alien Species’ are very rare, and ordinary ’flying’ is very difficult to train and control. The vast majority of Mutants can’t use it in actual combat; flying just makes them easy targets."

She examined the transparent feather in his hand, "It seems different from the ordinary feathers of the Winged People, it should have something unique about it."

Ji Xinghuo admired her insight and asked, "Don’t you want to fly, Ren Mian? I still have several feathers of the Winged People here."

He already had one feather of the Winged People in his hands, and with the one he just got, that made six in total.

"I’m not interested," Ren Mian shook her head and smiled.

"Alright then."

Ji Xinghuo stored the Transcendent Species and continued to tally up the spoils of battle.

The gains were substantial, but except for the "Fire Feather Bow" he didn’t need anything else, though the bow was just being kept as a collectible.

This Superpower Two Star bow and arrows, with its extremely ornate design, had a fiery red body and limbs like spread wings. It weighed around 700 kilograms, had a range of almost 500 meters, a fast arrow speed, and came with a "Precision effect" that would add high-temperature flames to the arrows when the bow was drawn.

The fire arrows would cause increasingly fearsome damage the longer they accumulated power and the more Star Power was poured into them.

If used with specially made "Flying Fire Feather Arrows," the power could be even greater.

This type of arrow was a craft of the Winged People, but had already spread widely, and could be bought in both Sky Falling Cliff and Eternal Day City.

As for the other weapon equipment, Ji Xinghuo planned to sell it all.

Of course, he wouldn’t rush to sell them in Eternal Day City immediately; waiting for a while, or going to Sky Falling Cliff to dispose of the items would be safer.

When Ren Mian saw that he had finished dealing with everything, she waved her hand.

Roots sprouted from the ground of the garden, the soil churned, pulling the Winged People’s bodies underground to act as fertilizer for the flowers.

Ji Xinghuo felt a jolt in his heart watching this.

Although it was not unusual to do so, using bodies as fertilizer always felt a bit strange to him.

"What’s wrong?"

Ren Mian noticed his expression and teased, "You wouldn’t think I’m brutal just because of a few corpses of the Winged People, right? After all, they were the ones you killed. During the fight, you were more ruthless than anyone, killing without even blinking an eye. Now you’ve become compassionate?"

Ji Xinghuo had nothing to say in response, "I was overthinking it."

"You’re still too young, you’ll get used to it," Ren Mian sighed, "On the path of evolution, which Mutant doesn’t have their hands stained with blood? Beneath every Legendary and Heavenly King are piled layers of skeletons, sooner or later, you will be the same."

"I understand."

While Ji Xinghuo verbally acknowledged his understanding, doubts began to surface in his mind, as Ren Mian spoke as if she had been through it all herself.

If one overlooked her youthful appearance, one might think she was an elder imparting wisdom.

"Don’t overthink it."

Ren Mian immediately realized her slip of the tongue, but without explaining further, she changed the subject, "I’m going to prepare the Rubber Body fusion. You can rest or cultivate as you wish."

Then, she lightly tapped the peach blossom mark on her forehead, and a pink petal flew out and attached itself to the back of Ji Xinghuo’s hand, merging and disappearing.

"This will allow you entry to the Secret Realm Fragment."

"Every entry and exit will consume one use; one petal can be used five times. Once you run out, I’ll maintain it for you," Ren Mian said before returning to the cabin and heading upstairs to her bedroom.

Ji Xinghuo watched her hurried departure and smiled inwardly, guessing some of the reasons. The electromagnetic induction separated Ren Mian’s bedroom into two areas, one for sleeping and a study, and the other a Cultivation Room. She sat at the desk in her bedroom, flipping through a book, seemingly preoccupied with her own thoughts.

He turned and entered the treehouse, sitting on the bed.

He took out the transparent feather and saw the Alien Species information again.

A 91% Fusion Success Rate met his standards; he took out another feather of the Winged People’s species, which only had an 82% Fusion Success Rate, the difference between them said it all.

Additionally, Qing Hong could also fuse with the feather of the Winged People, but the success rate was only 65%, not considered high.

This made Ji Xinghuo hesitate.

Qing Hong’s path of evolution involved gravity and space, ensuring that flying abilities would not be lacking in the future. For a common feather of the Winged People, wasting a fusion opportunity seemed not worthwhile.

"I should consider myself first," Ji Xinghuo decided.

He knew how to fuse with the feather of the Winged People.

He made a cut on his palm and placed the root of the feather on it; immediately, the blood was absorbed by the feather, turning it from transparent to blood-red.

The feathers, soaked with fresh blood, floated up, spun a few rounds, and transformed into a flow of light that fell and merged into the body through the skin, immediately integrating with the Star Power.

Had it been a common Winged Man Feather,

energy wings would have formed on the back by now, displaying various colors and shapes depending on the nature of the Star Power and the Winged Man’s clan in life.

But this was no ordinary Winged Man Feather—it was Shock Wave Turbulence.

Soon, Ji Xinghuo noticed that after the Alien Energy had merged with his Star Power, it rapidly spread throughout his body, then reemerged on his skin.

The Flow Barrier was automatically activated.

A layer of transparent Energy Armor formed around his body, which was originally flowing gently like water, thin as paper.

But at this moment, a miraculous change occurred in the barrier.

Ji Xinghuo observed closely and saw that the Flow Barrier, barely a millimeter thick, became a true fluid. Inside it, countless tiny whirlpools formed. As the flow speed increased, the originally clear layers became chaotic, sliding and mixing against each other, and finally turning into turbulence.

It was not just turbulence but also a highly compressed shock wave.

"Shock wave!"

Ji Xinghuo suddenly understood why this Mutant was called Shock Wave Turbulence. In physics, it exists in supersonic airflow as compression waves.

The legendary Winged Man from the White Feather Clan was a Sound Wave Stringer, mastering sound waves with Spiritual Energy, alongside various applications of sound waves.

The Sound Wave Stringer also had a Flow Barrier, so mastering Shock Wave Turbulence was not strange.

As for the effects of this Ability...

A few minutes later, the interface of Wanxiang Star Pupil updated with new information, adding an Ability.

[Ability: Shock Wave Turbulence (First Level 1/239)]

Sitting on the bed, Ji Xinghuo focused his mind, and the Flow Barrier formed on his skin. A thin, transparent barrier began flowing at high speed. The areas of his body facing downwards—the backs of his legs, bottom, under the elbows—all generated a thrust that pushed him into mid-air.

Due to the speed, he almost hit the ceiling.

Just before the collision, Ji Xinghuo reduced the thrust below him, and his head and shoulders also generated Shock Wave Turbulence. The two forces balanced him, suspending him in mid-air.

"Close call!"

Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, that was a close one.

Luckily, he had Overclocking Thought to react quickly, instantly controlling the direction of the thrust.

He paused in mid-air inside the treehouse, carefully feeling his new ability, and roughly understood the principle of "Shock Wave Turbulence." Unlike normal Winged Man Feathers and their principle of flight, it utilized the Flow Barrier to create shock waves at any part of the body, generating an acting force.

As forces interact with each other, proper control could achieve flight.

"Similar to a jet propulsion method?"

Ji Xinghuo suddenly thought, he had become a human-shaped jet!

However, as the Flow Barrier consumes Spiritual Energy, flying with Shock Wave Turbulence also depletes Spiritual Energy.

"The consumption of Spiritual Energy is quite high."

Ji Xinghuo hovered motionless mid-air, watching his Star Power decrease bit by bit.

Compared to electromagnetic flight, Shock Wave Turbulence had a significant advantage; it allowed for faster and more spontaneous control over the direction of flight, almost at will, as long as he could react quickly enough and his body could handle the inertial changes.

Moreover, the speed of Shock Wave Turbulence should be faster.

Electromagnetic flight was limited by his own Star Power, making the current flight speed rather slow, slower than running on the ground.

But the potential for electromagnetic flight was greater.

"The two methods of flying shouldn’t conflict; they can be used simultaneously."

Ji Xinghuo immediately tried controlling the magnetic poles, suddenly generating a repulsive force that accelerated him swiftly, pushing him out from the door, and in an instant, he hit the edge of the space in the Secret Realm Fragment, a shadow of a petal flickering on the back of his hand as he flew into the valley.

He paused above Ice Lake, his face showing great delight.

"Indeed much faster!"

Ji Xinghuo deactivated the electromagnetic repulsive force, forming only Shock Wave Turbulence under his soles, standing steadily in mid-air as if on an invisible platform.

He tried walking, the first few steps were shaky, but after about ten steps, his movement became smooth and steady, as if on level ground.

And his speed was increasing!

As Ji Xinghuo soared, he suddenly changed direction, his body shooting upwards smoothly, at times soaring, at times diving, like a low-speed flying fighter jet, with snowflakes sweeping past him, some hitting him and shattering into powder.

"Still not fast enough."

He glanced at the interface; a few minutes of flying had depleted over 300 points of Star Power, nearly one-tenth of his total.

And this was just at First Level Shock Wave Turbulence.

"Time to upgrade!"

Ji Xinghuo flew towards the depths of Peach Blossom Valley, landing on an unseen surface of a lake, and began investing Spiritual Origin Ability, upgrading Shock Wave Turbulence to (Second Level 1/1299).

He took a lap around the lake airily, the speed noticeably faster and changes in direction swifter.

Then it was (Third Level 1/6229).

And then to (Fourth Level 1/32359).

Ji Xinghuo pondered for a while, his Spiritual Origin Ability still had over sixty thousand points, more than enough for another upgrade, so he continued investing.

Soon after, Shock Wave Turbulence reached (Fifth Level 1/158849).

In just a few minutes, he had used up over forty thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability, upgrading Shock Wave Turbulence to Fifth Level, yet it remained a Transcendent Species, making further upgrades elusive for the time being.

"Let’s see how fast I can fly."

Ji Xinghuo took a deep breath, placed his hands on his sides, palms facing down, and at the moment when Shock Wave Turbulence erupted with full force, electromagnetic flight was also activated at the same time.

Bang!

A loud explosion occurred, and large chunks of ice collapsed.

Ji Xinghuo, like a rocket, soared upwards, leaving behind a turbulent airstream, and the explosive sound waves echoed through Peach Blossom Valley.
