Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 163 One Step Ahead of Lu Xiaofeng

Fast! Very fast! Super fast!

If the Cloud Deer at second speed still gives a noticeable sense of acceleration, then the Cloud Deer at third speed feels like it has entered a folded space.

Of course this is not true.

The extremely high speed blurred Cha Nan's spatial perception.

With such a divine deer, even without the help of teleportation points, Cha Nan can freely explore the map, volcanoes, snow-capped mountains, deserts, swamps... all of which can be traversed in a relatively short time.

After running around, Cha Nan returned to the base, wanting to try breeding with Lu Tingfeng No. 2 to obtain more Cloud Sea Deer with the same attributes and qualities.

However, it seems a bit difficult. After several attempts, the best result was only to get all three speeds together, but the perpetual motion machine was missing.

It's possible that adding too many attribute modifiers could allow a mythical beast like the Cloud Deer, which was originally only considered a mid-tier beast, to approach the level of a divine beast in terms of speed.

In this realistic world of mythical beasts, the greatness of the divine beasts may even exceed Cha Nan's imagination.

"We must find an opportunity to breed Anubis! Since He holds such a special position in this mythical beast world, having a few more Anubis in the stronghold might bring about some major changes." Chanan thought to himself, then communicated and handed over the information to the group of humanoid Palu before leaving the mythical beast world.

Ahead, the masts of some warships could gradually be seen.

Further on, the faces of the people on these warships became clearer.

If there are people familiar with this martial arts world here, they will see many familiar faces on some of the warships.

Hu Kaishu, Situ Ping, Jin Zhenjia, Li Dun... these are all very famous figures. Perhaps they are not as famous as Chu Liuxiang, but their reputation in the martial arts world is at least comparable to that of Hu Tiehua.

But at this moment, they were all standing on King Shi's warship, becoming his subordinates.

Of course, perhaps what could truly impress them wasn't King Shi, but rather that mysterious 'God of Wealth'!
Yuan Suiyun hung on the mast like a giant bat, while the corpse puppets maneuvered the ship, continuing to approach Tianwang Island.

Cha Nan, Lu Xiaofeng, and Lian Nishang had already hidden themselves away.

Then they heard someone outside calling, "Young Master Yuan! Did you find anything?"

Yuan Suiyun remained indifferent and did not answer.

"Young Master Yuan, as is customary, we need to conduct a thorough inspection. Please don't take offense!" With that, many people jumped directly onto the boat.

Yuan Suiyun remained unmoved, as agreed upon.

He doesn't need to make too many moves to avoid premature exposure.

However, the black ship did not slow down and rushed towards Tianwang Island at an extremely fast speed.

The three men evaded the inspectors' search with their superior agility, but as more and more people poured in, even the best agility could no longer keep them hidden.

The space is cramped, and there are very few places to hide.

Especially Lu Xiaofeng and Cha Nan, the two men, are tall and strong. Even if they use their bone-shrinking skills, they can't hide in some too secluded or cramped places. Unlike Lian Ni Chang, who is as flexible as a cat, she can shrink into a small wooden box that is only half a meter wide and one meter long without leaving a trace.

Having avoided the sight of several searchers, Lu Xiaofeng and Cha Nan simultaneously circled around to the stern of the ship.

Looking towards Tianwang Island now, it is less than a kilometer away.

Cha Nan pretended to pull out a handful of wheat stalks from his pocket and handed half of them to Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng took it and naturally understood what Cha Nan meant.

"I'm fine... Can you do it?" Lu Xiaofeng was actually a little unsure, but at this moment, it was impossible for him to say that he couldn't do it.

"It's good that you're okay! Let's go!" Cha Nan took a step forward and flew more than ten meters away. He was in the air, but his speed was extremely fast. Wind and clouds swirled around him, swift and fierce. Then, he twisted his body in mid-air, stepped on the air, and rose ten feet into the air. He then glided and flew ten meters away.

This leap allowed him to fly over twenty meters without any external force, a feat of lightness skill that could be considered unparalleled in the martial arts world. While techniques like flying over grass or leaving no trace on snow may sound impressive, they still require leverage and support.

Some masters can cover hundreds of meters in an instant because they exert continuous force and stomp on the ground, borrowing the force of the ground's reaction.

If someone can fly seven or eight meters in a single forward leap, they are considered to have excellent lightness skills.

Take Yun Zhonghe as an example. As one of the best light-footed people in the world of Tian Long Ba Bu, his leap, without any other leverage, can only cover a distance of eleven or twelve meters and a height of no more than three or four zhang.

Seeing Cha Nan's incredible lightness skill, Lu Xiaofeng also felt a desire to win. Instead of launching himself out like a cannonball like Cha Nan, he nimbly took flight, using the momentum to soar into the sky. Then, taking advantage of the height, he spread his arms and glided down from the top like a giant bird.

His body would constantly adjust and adapt in mid-air, like a dance, but making the most of the wind.

This gliding distance was about twenty meters.

Before this, Cha Nan had already thrown out the first straw, letting it land on the sea surface. He lightly touched the surface with his toes, and then, using the force of the wave, he was lifted into the air, launched ten meters, and jumped again, another ten meters.

The two-stage light-footed flight of twenty meters is breathtaking.

After all, although a master of light-body skills can use the slight floating force of grass and trees to temporarily catch their breath and take off again, like a dragonfly skimming the water or a wild goose crossing a cold pond, such a rise and fall is definitely not as good as the initial rise from the ground.

Even with exceptional lightness skills, and by borrowing some of the buoyancy from the grass and trees, it's difficult to cover even half the distance of the first leap.

It is simply unbelievable that someone like Cha Nan could achieve a second leap that is almost identical to the first.

Of course, this was at sea, where the buoyancy of the seawater is stronger, and there is also the huge force of the waves pushing it. If it were on a calm lake, even Cha Nan in his current state could not achieve this level of skill with his own lightness technique alone.

After flying another twenty meters, Cha Nan was still not out of breath and threw out another straw.

This time, instead of leaping high, he glided across the sea on straw as if riding the waves.

Lu Xiaofeng also finished his second take-off and landing, but was still more than ten meters behind Cha Nan.

Like Cha Nan, he did not leap high again, but instead glided forward, rushing towards Tianwang Island.

It was only at this moment that the people on the warships realized that someone had invaded. Drums sounded, and some people shot arrows to try to stop the two, but the two were too fast and too far away to catch up.

As Lu Xiaofeng watched Cha Nan rush faster and farther away, nearing the shore, he grew anxious.

He flung out five or six straws in quick succession, and before they even hit the sea, he used the momentum to leap through the air, closing the distance by thirty or forty meters in an instant.

Upon getting closer, Lu Xiaofeng realized that although Cha Nan was only standing on wheat stalks, the Qi of wind and clouds was generated spontaneously, like two whirlpools propelling her forward, which explained her incredible speed.

"What an amazing Qinggong!"

"I have never seen anyone whose lightness skill is better than mine!" Lu Xiaofeng shouted as he chased after Cha Nan.

Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang also competed in lightness skills, but the two were evenly matched and no winner was determined.

At this moment, Cha Nan had left Lu Xiaofeng quite far behind.

The problem was actually Cha Nan's own lack of skill, experience, and accumulated knowledge. If he could fully develop the talent bestowed upon him by Lu Tingfeng No. 2, his speed would leave Lu Xiaofeng far behind.

"Now you'll see it!"

“However, your lightness skill is not bad either. We can exchange tips sometime!” Cha Nan said casually.

Lu Xiaofeng had no doubts and readily agreed.

As the two talked, Tianwang Island came into view.

　I wrote over 10,000 words today. I'll keep working hard tomorrow!
