A freshman actually dared to tell her not to be arrogant, as a “female devil”, how could Huang Yichen endure?
“Zhang Ruochen, do you dare to say it again? Believe it or not, I will break your legs and throw you out?” Huang Yichen stretched out her five snowy onion jade fingers, a wisp of true qi lingered between them, and a small whirlwind coalesced in the centre of her palm.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression was calm as he said indifferently, “There’s no need for Senior Sister Huang to take action, I’ll leave now.”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen went to Earth Character No. 1 to pack up his things and prepare to move out, not wanting to stay in the Dragon Martial Hall any longer. Huang Yichen was simply unbelievable, staying with her always gave Zhang Ruochen a very insecure feeling that his life was in danger at any moment.
Whoever married her in the future would definitely have bad luck for eight lifetimes.
“Senior brother, Sister Dust is just playing a joke with you, you mustn’t take it seriously.” Duanmu Xingling chased after her and stood in front of Zhang Ruochen, squinting a pair of beautiful eyes and revealing a smile that mesmerised people.
“Really?” Zhang Ruochen stared towards Huang Yichen.
Huang Yichen stood straight in the distance, trying to control his anger, squeezing out a smile and saying, “Naturally, I was just joking.”
“Alright then! For the sake of Senior Sister Duanmu’s face, I can teach you to cultivate the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow, but whether or not you can successfully cultivate it depends on your talent.”
Zhang Ruochen wrote out the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow and handed it over to Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling, saying, “For now, I can only tell you the cultivation technique of the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow first. As for the footwork, with my martial arts cultivation, I can’t draw the divine essence of the pace at all, so I can only teach you guys while I cultivate.”
Zhang Ruochen was telling the truth, even though he was once a powerhouse of the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Circle, he could only draw the divine essence of a martial art of the lower grade of the Spirit Grade.
The Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow was a Spirit Grade Upper Grade Martial Skill, and with his understanding of the Martial Dao, even if he could barely draw out the footwork, it would only have at most one or two points of the divine essence. Cultivating according to that kind of footwork, it was simply impossible for Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling to successfully cultivate the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow.
Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling took the manual booklet over and viewed it together. At first, they were only looking at it very carefully, and the more they saw the back, the more shocked they became.
After reading through the spell booklet, Huang Yichen’s eyes were like two cold swords as she stared tightly at Zhang Ruochen, saying, ”The spells recorded on it are very exquisite, and it definitely can’t be as simple as a Spirit Grade Lower Grade Martial Skill. What grade of martial skill is the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow?”
“No comment.”
Zhang Ruochen added, “If you guys want to learn it, I will naturally teach you with all my heart. If you guys don’t want to learn, then please go back!”
“Learn! How can I not learn? I am definitely going to learn!” Duanmu Xingling could naturally see the power of the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow, even if he only cultivated it to a small level, his own combat power would definitely increase by a large margin.
Huang Yichen’s eyes clouded over as he said, “Starling, you memorised the spell, didn’t you?”
“Of course I’ve memorised all of it. Sister Dust, have you forgotten that as long as one’s spiritual power reaches the twentieth rank, one can forget everything.” Duanmu Xingling laughed.
Huang Yichen nodded, and with a piercing sound, the booklet of spells was crushed into pieces by Huang Yichen.
She was very clear about the value of the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow, if it was seen by outsiders, it would definitely invite endless trouble for them.
In the next few moments, Zhang Ruochen demonstrated the nine steps of the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow to them, and then explained the eighty-one variations of the nine steps to them.
Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling were both supreme geniuses with extremely high comprehension and were able to learn by example, and they soon grasped the basic essentials and began to cultivate.
Zhang Ruochen also followed along and his cultivation progress was obviously faster than theirs.
After dark, Zhang Ruochen returned to the martial arts training ground of Di Zi No. 1, but Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling were still practicing the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow above the square. Their obsession with martial arts was definitely no less than Zhang Ruochen’s.
Zhang Ruochen had only just reached the Xuanji Realm’s Small Extreme Position right now, and his martial realm was still relatively low, so he had to spend more time on cultivating his true qi, and could only spend a very small amount of time on cultivating his martial skills.
Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling had already reached the Great Perfection of the Xuan Polarity Realm, and could spend all of their time to cultivate their martial skills. This was their advantage!
When he returned to the Martial Training Hall, Zhang Ruochen entered the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, took a San Qing True Qi Pill, and began to refine it.
He didn’t lack pills anyway, so he could completely eat them as sugar beans, as long as he could quickly raise his cultivation level.
After a day and a half of cultivation in the Space-Time Crystal Stone, Zhang Ruochen refined eighteen Three Clear True Qi Pills in a row, and was able to clearly feel that the True Qi in the Qi Lake had increased by a large margin. The Xuanji Realm’s Minor Extreme Position was finally consolidated.
When he stepped out of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, it happened to be the early morning of the next day, and he found that Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling were surprisingly still practising their footwork in the square.
Zhang Ruochen looked from afar and only saw two beautiful silhouettes weaving in and out of the square, their footwork flowing, the wind sounding like a dragon’s roar, and their speed being extremely fast.
“Worthy of being a Xuan Ranking expert, in just one day and one night of cultivation, they have cultivated a little bit of a feeling for the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow, like they are on the verge of being initiated.”
The Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow that they were currently executing was only a mere resemblance. Only when they reached divine resemblance would they be considered initiated.
Introductory, Little Success, Great Success, and Transformation Realm, all martial arts were in these four realms.
Among them, Huang Yichen’s speed was clearly faster than Duanmu Xingling’s, and given at most one more day, she would be able to reach the introductory realm.
Thanks to the fact that she had opened the Blistering Wind Divine Martial Seal, the true qi in her body carried the wind attribute, and her physique and true qi were very compatible with the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow, so her cultivation speed was naturally very fast.
“Swoosh!”
Duanmu Xingling swept over to Zhang Ruochen’s side, gently wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, and said in a radiant manner, “Senior Brother, Sister Dust and I have discussed this, and we feel that the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow is more suitable for cultivation in the windy mountains and wilderness, and that in the Dragon Martial Hall, it is all flat land, where the breeze does not build up, and is not at all suitable for the cultivation of this high level, speed-based martial art. ”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “What are your plans?”
Duanmu Xingling said, “There is a valley going in the Heavenly Demon Ridge called the Demon Wind Valley, in which hurricane winds blow all year round, making it an excellent treasure place to cultivate the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow. Do you want to go with us?”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “How far is that one Devil Wind Valley from the Western Academy?”
Huang Yichen walked over and said, “The Devil Wind Valley is only four hundred miles away from the Western Courtyard. With our speed, if we were to rush at full speed, it would only take us an hour to arrive. It’s just that I don’t know, can your speed keep up with us?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “My cultivation has already reached the Minor Extreme Position, although there is still a gap between me and the two senior sisters, but I shouldn’t be able to hold you back.”
“How long has it been since you broke through to the late Xuan Extreme Realm, how did your cultivation reach the Xuan Extreme Realm Minor Extreme Level?” Duanmu Xingling was somewhat disbelieving, staring at Zhang Ruochen with a puzzled look.
Huang Yichen said, “He obtained ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid, and with the speed at which he refined the Half-Saint True Liquid, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to break through to the Xuan Extremity Realm’s Minor Extremity Position in a short period of time.”
“After all, the Half-Saint True Liquid is a treasure for tempering the martial body and enlarging the qi lake, and it only has a noticeable effect on cultivation enhancement at a low realm. As one’s cultivation level increases, the weaker the cultivation enhancement effect of the Half-Saint True Liquid becomes.”
Zhang Ruochen agreed with Huang Yichen’s words, as he had refined three drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid when he was at the late stage of the Xuanji Realm before he reached the Xuanji Realm’s Minor Extreme Position.
But now, even if he refined all the remaining eight drops of Half-Saint True Liquid, it would be impossible for him to reach the Xuan Extremity Realm Middle Extremity Position.
Therefore, he planned to use other pills first to cultivate the true qi in the qi lake to perfection before taking the eight drops of Half-Saint True Liquid and impacting to the Xuan Extremity Realm Middle Extremity Position in one fell swoop.
It wasn’t that the medicinal power of the Half-Saint True Liquid wasn’t strong enough, but it was because the main function of the Half-Saint True Liquid wasn’t to raise cultivation.
“Two Senior Sisters, I’m going to go back and pack some things first.” Zhang Ruochen thought of Xiao Hei and was somewhat uneasy about leaving it alone in the Western Courtyard. If there was no one to restrain it, there was no telling what kind of mess it would make.
“We’ll be waiting for you outside the academy gates, you’d better be quick.” Huang Yichen said.
Zhang Ruochen returned to Earth Character No. 1 and opened the door to the study, and he saw Xiao Hei sitting on a chair, intently reading a book.
“Little Blackie, I’m going to cultivate in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, you must come with me.” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Good! It just so happens that this Emperor wants to take in a savage beast mount, and it would be great if he could subdue a Vermillion Bird! It’s just a pity that the cultivation levels are all sealed in the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, so the Vermillion Bird can’t be subdued, and can only be subdued to some lowly savage beast mounts …… Well …… wait for later!” Little Black jumped down from the chair, clutching a book, and followed Zhang Ruochen towards the outside of the Western Courtyard.
Zhang Ruochen had just walked out of the Western Courtyard with Little Black, when the news reached Prince Huo Xing’s ears.
“Are you sure Zhang Ruochen left the Western Courtyard alone?” Prince Huo Xing stood up boldly, two murderous cold lights erupting from his eyes.
That one cadet thought for a moment and added, “There’s also a cat!”
“There’s no need to report a cat!” A cold, craggy smile appeared on Prince Huo Xing’s face as he muttered to himself, “Zhang Ruochen ah! Zhang Ruochen! There’s a way to heaven that you don’t go, and there’s no door to hell that you barge in. If you stay in the Western Courtyard, I can’t deal with you. However, if you leave the Western Courtyard, you are seeking your own death. This time, I will kill you with my own hands.”
That one cadet hesitated slightly and said, “Even Feng Zhilin died at the hands of Zhang Ruochen, I’m afraid that with Your Highness’s cultivation, I can’t kill him.”
“Stupid!”
Prince Huo Xing glared at him and said, “You think this prince will personally take action? Our Four Direction County Kingdom has 400,000 Martyr Tiger Army stationed in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, all this prince needs to do is to go to the military camp and deploy one of his elites, to kill Zhang Ruochen, it’s like slaughtering a pig, chicken, or dog.”
Not long after Zhang Ruochen left the Western Courtyard, Prince Huo Xing also left the Western Courtyard and travelled to the Martyr Tiger Army Camp a thousand miles away.
“Two senior sisters, let’s set off now!”
Zhang Ruochen met Duanmu Xingling and Huang Yichen at a mountain range outside the Western Academy.
