Chapter 720: Men Are Surprisingly Fast, How Do They Think?

Chu Yang shook his head and said seriously, "No wonder you’ve only learned a little after so long. This technique may focus on soul attributes and personal talent, but ultimately, it’s related to one word: kindness! Only those with a kind heart can comprehend the highest mysteries of this method. Those with impure intentions will likely not even be able to fully cultivate the first level."

Shandu, who already had great merit and a kind heart, was able to instantly sense the technique and break through.

On the other hand, those with impure hearts would gain no real benefit from it.

Zhou Zida snapped out of his daze, reflecting on Chu Yang’s words.

Uncle De and Elder Chen, despite their age and average talent, were still curious about the Fire Cloud Spell.

Cough, cough, actually, I’m a kind person too.

I am too...

Nanli glanced at them and said, "Uncle De need not try, but Elder Chen can give it a go."

Uncle De looked disappointed. He didn’t believe in this "soul compatibility" stuff. As Elder Chen took the book, Uncle De stared at it for several moments but couldn’t make out a single word.

Ah, looks like this is the limit of my life.

Elder Chen, on the other hand, smiled. As a cultivator, his memory was sharp. He quickly memorized the first level of the technique and returned the book to Chu Yang.

Meanwhile, Shandu had successfully passed his tribulation.

The lightning clouds dispersed.

His spiritual energy had grown even stronger, and filled with joy, he bowed in a Buddhist greeting to Chu Yang. "Thank you, Fourth Young Master!"

Chu Yang waved his hand. "No need to thank me. Once I have enough strength, I will definitely have a spar with you."

Shandu smiled. "I’ll be waiting, Fourth Young Master."

The time had come.

Uncle De and Elder Chen didn’t want to get involved further, so Nanli asked them to patrol the area to make sure there were no enemies left.

As for them, it was time to set off.

Nanli asked, "Fourth Brother, you haven’t learned Sword Riding yet. How about I teach you this time?"

Uncle De quickly gestured to Chu Yang and said, "Fourth Young Master, I think it would be better for Shandu to teach you."

Chu Yang didn’t care, his excitement clear as he said, "Naturally, I’ll be learning from Sixth Sister!"

"Alright!" Nanli smiled. "Fourth Brother, I’ll teach you the tricks on the way. Pay attention."

"Got it," Chu Yang nodded, strapping his sword sheath on his back.

Cinian and the others also mounted their magical treasures, preparing to head into the skies. Zhou Zida hurriedly shouted, "Wait, what about me?! What about me?!"

Chu Yang said, "You go back to the capital. I can’t take care of you this time."

Zhou Zida was furious. "Chu Yang, don’t look down on me! How many times have I managed without you watching over me?"

Chu Yang grinned, "Alright then, since you’re so sure, come along."

He only feared that Zhou Zida might reveal himself and make things difficult in the Lower Realm later.

Zhou Zida, seeing this, felt somewhat reassured.

Shandu chuckled, "Master Zhou, let me guide you."

Zhou Zida hopped onto Shandu’s magic treasure. Even if he didn’t control the flying sword himself, he was focusing all his energy to make sure he didn’t fall off.

He glanced at the two siblings and thought to himself, Shandu, don’t let Chu Nanli outrun you.

In his mind, this was still a battle between him and Chu Yang!

Shandu looked troubled. "I can’t keep up."

"You monks are too kind! Chu Nanli doesn’t like others holding back. Just fly as fast as you can," Zhou Zida said. "I’m fine with it!"

"Well, you might be fine, but I’m not," Shandu replied helplessly.

Zhou Zida was about to ask him what the problem was when he saw Nanli teach Chu Yang some sword-riding tricks before flying off at high speed.

"..."

Zhou Zida was stunned.

Cinian had already called his disciples to follow.

Shandu, after a moment, leisurely mounted his magical treasure and followed.

Zhou Zida’s anger flared. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. "She... she just broke through to the Golden Core stage not long ago! How is she flying so fast?!"

"Master Zhou, please be more respectful," Shandu said with an unhappy expression. "Sword-riding is also a form of cultivation. It depends on talent."

Zhou Zida gritted his teeth. "Flying so fast, Chu Yang will be even more smug now."

But he quickly smiled.

Shandu was confused. "Master Zhou, what’s going on?"

"Chu Nanli is flying so fast that Chu Yang won’t be able to stand it," Zhou Zida said, laughing even more. "He’ll either faint for a few hours or lie down for days. Does he still want to fight? Maybe he’ll need help from someone else."

At this moment, Zhou Zida couldn’t stop laughing.

Suddenly, a voice shouted from the front. "Zhou Zida!!!"

Zhou Zida froze.

Who was calling him?

Why did it sound so familiar?

As the dark spot ahead grew bigger and clearer, Zhou Zida focused his eyes and saw—Chu Yang!

Chu Yang was flying toward them on his own flying sword!

And his speed was on par with Nanli’s!

Chu Yang even flipped in mid-air a few times before coming to a stop next to them, full of spirit. "Zhou Zida, how’s that? Pretty good, right?"

At this moment, Zhou Zida felt like he could kill him. He shouted, "What are you so smug about!"

The Twelve Good Virtues immediately congratulated Chu Yang.

Shandu smiled. "Fourth Young Master, you learned Sword Riding so quickly and fly so steadily. Truly a genius."

"It’s Sixth Sister who taught well," Chu Yang beamed. "Zhou Zida, how about it? Want me to teach you?"

Zhou Zida’s face darkened. "Fly so fast, don’t kill yourself."

Chu Yang wasn’t annoyed. He flew in circles again. "You’re afraid of speed, huh? Then I’ll go ahead!"

He shouted ahead, "Sixth Sister, let’s see who’s faster!"

With that, he soared off again, disappearing into the distance.

Zhou Zida rolled his eyes. "Men, always racing. I really don’t know how their minds work."

Shandu said, "Master Zhou, you’d better speed up, or you’ll be left behind."

Zhou Zida pressed his lips together, feeling even more frustrated.

When Cinian and the others arrived near Jade Wolf City, Nanli and Chu Yang were already waiting for them.

Shandu immediately asked, "Who won?"

Chu Yang replied, "Of course it’s Sixth Sister. It’s my first time flying on a sword. I’m not very skilled yet."

It was mostly because his spiritual energy couldn’t match Nanli’s.

After all, sword-riding required spiritual energy to sustain it.

Nanli cupped her hands. "Fourth Brother, I concede."

Seeing the two of them standing there, perfectly fine and their clothes neat, Zhou Zida’s face darkened even more.

These two truly had extraordinary talent.

Cinian, staring at Jade Wolf City, said, "Every town in the Lower Realm has its own protective formation. If we want to fight, we’ll have to break the formation first."

He turned to one of his disciples. "Shanxun, go check."

Shanxun, a Talisman Cultivator who understood many formation techniques, nodded.

"I’ve already inspected the formation. I know how to break it," Nanli said, pulling out a talisman she had drawn earlier and distributing them. "Each talisman should be used in a specific location."

There were six talismans in total.
