Back on White Cloud Peak, Lin Bai headed straight to his dwelling.
He sat cross-legged, composed and focused.
Lin Bai thought of Ye Suxin, sighed lightly, and said, "This is for the best, regardless of the outcome, this matter is finally resolved."
"From now on, I must devote all my energy to improving my cultivation and focusing on the cultivation of the Five Elements Spirit Vortex and the Core Martial Artist assessment.
The end of the year is approaching.
The annual Core Martial Artist assessment of the Spirit Sword Sect begins at the end of the year.
Considering the days, there are only a little over two months left."
And in March next year, the martial arts competition of the Four Major Sects will be held.
"If I want to become a Core Martial Artist, the toughest opponents are top ten warriors from the Inner Gate Top Hundred Rankings who have entered the Heaven Martial Realm. At the moment, I am still falling short. If I could reach the second or the third layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, it should guarantee my place as a Core Martial Artist."
"Now, I must find a way to increase my cultivation."
"As for the martial arts competition of the Four Major Sects, once I become a Core Martial Artist, I will have three more months. During these three months, I must do everything in my power to find the other four types of spiritual beings that can form a Spirit Vortex."
"If I manage to increase my cultivation to the sixth or seventh layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, forge five spirit vortexes before the competition of the Four Major Sects, I would have a fighting chance, even against the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm!"
"Then, I can compete with Lin Zi’er!"
Lin Bai had absolute confidence in Lin Zi’er’s cultivation speed.
Not only was Lin Zi’er at the Heaven Level Fifth Grade, but he also had the backing of the largest sect in the territory of the Shenwu Kingdom, providing him with limitless cultivation resources.
Lin Zi’er didn’t need to do anything other than concentrate on his cultivation.
By the time of next year’s martial arts competition of the Four Major Sects, it’s expected that Lin Zi’er’s cultivation would have broken through to the eighth or ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm"
Unlike Lin Bai, who had to find everything himself, fight for every bit of cultivation resource.
Even when he was buying Elixir Pills from the Treasure Pavilion, he had been ambushed.
After planning his cultivation schedule clearly, Lin Bai rested for the night.
Early the next morning, Lin Bai went to visit Ling Tianzi.
Since Lin Bai was in the Spirit Sword Sect, he maintained the manners he owed.
He should pay his respects in the morning.
"Disciple seeks an audience with Master," Lin Bai called respectfully outside Ling Tianzi’s door.
"Come in," Ling Tianzi said.
Lin Bai entered to see Ling Tianzi sitting behind a desk, reading. Ling Tianzi laughed and said, "Lin Bai, you fought all day yesterday, you should rest well, no need to pay respects in the morning."
Lin Bai chuckled, "I am fine, if I cannot withstand this level of hardship, how can I call myself your disciple."
"Haha, you sure have a way with words." Ling Tianzi put down the book and laughed.
Immediately after, Lin Bai accompanied Ling Tianzi, taking a leisurely stroll on White Clouds Peak, looking at flowers, trees, clouds, and birds.
And the morning was spent like that.
Ling Tianzi said, "Lin Bai, I watched your competition yesterday. You have cultivated the Astonishing Wind Sword Skill quite well, reaching the completion stage. Moreover, you have comprehended Martial Intention Divine Techniques, very good, you have exceeded my expectations."
"Thank you for your praise, Master," Lin Bai said joyfully.
Ling Tianzi then said, "You have temporarily fulfilled the requirements in attack martial skills. However, your movement martial skills and your weapon are falling behind."
"Indeed, as you said, Master, my cultivation of the Qilin Step, which is only a Mysterious Level Nine technique, is indeed a bit weak now."
"And the Sinister Wind Sword, a third grade spiritual weapon, is falling behind its potential."
"My plan was to go to the Martial Arts Pavilion in the near future to see if there are Earth-level or higher movement martial skills and fifth grade or similar spiritual weapons."
Lin Bai replied respectfully.
"Fortunately, I have a Heaven Level First Grade movement martial art skill here, called ’Feng Lei Divine Wings’. Once you have cultivated this, not only will your movement skills make remarkable improvements, still as a virgin, swift as a startled thunder."
"Furthermore, when you have mastered this skill, you can form a pair of wind-thunder wings. As long as your true Qi is sufficient, you can fly in the sky."
"If you need it, I can teach you."
Ling Tianzi said with a slight chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was overjoyed.
A Heaven Level First Grade martial movement skill!
Lin Bai’s excitement took his breath away.
"Thank you, Master. Now, I really get why the third senior brother is around you all the time, I’ll also come every day, and pay you a morning tribute." Lin Bai said, laughing, after hearing this.
"Hahaha, good, I’ll be pleased if you come every day. Heaven-level martial skills are different from earth-level martial skills, with each trick and move of a Heaven-level martial skill possessing great power. You need to understand it yourself thoroughly." Ling Tianzi said with a light laugh.
"Master shows the way, cultivation depends on the individual, I know that." Lin Bai said respectfully.
"Lin Bai, I haven’t yet passed on my real skills to you. You keep exerting effort, the Spirit Sword Sect’s core martial artist assessment is in two months. If you pass, I will pass on my real skills to you."
"Master’s skills are enough for you to look down upon the whole martial world in the future."
Ling Tianzi said, laughing.
"I’ll definitely try my best!" On hearing this, Lin Bai couldn’t hide his excitement.
"Alright, let me first teach you the Feng Lei Divine Wings!"
"Calm your mind and control your breath, I’ll help you grasp it, you’ll get it in an instant."
As he spoke, Ling Tianzi aimed at Lin Bai’s forehead, and a ray of divine light shot violently into Lin Bai’s forehead.
In an instant, Lin Bai’s view was filled with a world of thunderstorms and torrential rain.
Dark clouds shrouded the sky, with bolts of lightning crisscrossing, and wind gusting like blades.
Wisps of wind and thunder energy began to gather, congealing into a pair of wings behind Lin Bai.
As the Feng Lei Divine Wings appeared, Lin Bai moved instantly, spanning a kilometer in an instant!
"So fast!" Lin Bai exclaimed in delight.
With the help of Ling Tianzi, Lin Bai quickly grasped the essence of the Feng Lei Divine Wings.
Half a day later, Lin Bai finally mastered the Feng Lei Divine Wings.
Lin Bai stood up from the ground, true qi flowing, and immediately, thunderous winds converged on his back and a pair of wings appeared.
The Feng Lei Divine Wings flapped, carrying Lin Bai’s body, shooting beyond the Nine Heavens Cloud.
As Lin Bai flew higher, the Spirit Sword Sect below became smaller and smaller, gradually turning into a tiny spot.
Standing above the clouds, Lin Bai looked upwards, seeing the magnificent rivers and mountains of the Shenwu Kingdom, and the western horizon dotted with sunset.
"I can fly." Lin Bai said, thrilled.
But suddenly, at that moment,
His internal qi was rapidly depleted, and the Feng Lei Divine Wings on his back disappeared.
"Oh my, it uses up qi so quickly!"
"I still have the Gold Spirit Vortex and Dantian qi, so much qi but it can’t even last half an hour?"
Lin Bai’s body fell rapidly.
Lin Bai didn’t panic. He held his breath and concentrated, and when he was about to crash into the ground, Lin Bai suddenly exerted the last bit of qi in his body, forming the Feng Lei Divine Wings, and landed safely in front of Ling Tianzi.
"That was close, I almost fell to my death." Lin Bai said, feeling a chill in his heart.
Ling Tianzi laughed, and continued, "This set of Feng Lei Divine Wings should be enough for you to use until the Human Elixir Realm. You’re still missing a weapon that suits you."
"Although you’ve given me the Dragon Bone Gold and I’ve made a fine weapon for you, I can’t give it to you now. You still need to find a weapon that suits you."
"The weapons I have here are too powerful. You can’t control them."
Ling Tianzi stated lightly.
"Yes, Master." Lin Bai responded.
