Chu Fan glanced over the people cultivating in the Martial Arts Arena, then turned and returned to his residence.
Zhao Tianxing was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard. ’He must have gone to the dining hall...’
He held his breath and focused, beginning to feel the qi and blood that surged ceaselessly through his body, yet was as easy to command as his own limbs.
As his qi and blood circulated, an unprecedented sense of lightness was quietly welling up from every part of his body.
He took a deep breath, recalling what it felt like to use his Running Technique in the past.
In the past, when he used it, he could move like the wind and his speed was astonishing. But every step he took was heavy and forceful, sending grass clippings flying and leaving shallow depressions in the earth—clear footprints.
If it was after a rain, he would inevitably splash mud everywhere, often leaving a complete ss in his wake.
It was the impact of pure power and speed—overbearing, but lacking finesse.
But now...
With a re thought, he exerted barely any force, and his body flitted forward.
When his feet landed, Chu Fan was taken aback.
The expected sensation of grass being crushed underfoot never ca. Instead, there was a strange feeling of "floating."
It felt as if he weren’t standing on a soft lawn, but on an invisible, elastic cushion of air.
Chu Fan looked down and saw that the soles of his shoes were only lightly touching the tips of the grass blades...
The blades of grass bent only slightly, and as soon as he lifted his foot, they sprang back, straightening out as if they had never been touched!
’This...’ A sudden surge of pleasant surprise filled Chu Fan’s heart.
The Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step he had practiced before also had a body-lightening effect, but he wasn’t even channeling his energy right now, yet he could achieve sothing like this!
He started moving again, this ti a little faster, weaving around the crabapple tree in the courtyard.
The weeds on the ground parted slightly as he passed, then silently closed behind him, leaving not a single trace.
He recalled how in the past, to run at high speed, he had to channel his qi and blood into his feet, planting each step firmly to push off.
It was fast, but it was like a heavy hamr beating a drum—the commotion was astounding.
But now, he felt as if more than half his body weight had vanished...
His qi and blood no longer savagely rushed into his feet; instead, they transford into a gentle, supportive force that spread throughout his entire body.
This elevated his control over his own power to a completely new Realm!
With another thought, Chu Fan leaped, floating effortlessly up into the crabapple tree!
His figure flickered, landing as nimbly as a swallow returning to its nest on a branch no thicker than a person’s finger.
The branch trembled slightly but held his weight steadily, not even shaking loose a few leaves.
In the past, though he could leap this high, he would have certainly snapped the branch and fallen!
’ "Light as a Feather"... It’s truly marvelous!’
Chu Fan felt this unprecedented lightness and agility, an irrepressible, joyful smile spreading across his face.
The Trait from this Breaking Limit didn’t just increase his speed; it caused a complete tamorphosis of his entire Body Technique Realm!
’If I were to enhance the "Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step" with this Trait, how astonishing would that be!’
Chu Fan zipped back and forth in the courtyard, familiarizing himself with "Light as a Feather." Afterward, he went inside, leaped onto a roof beam, took down the hidden silver notes, tucked them into his robes, and then headed for the dining hall.
...
「Xingning Street.」
This was the most bustling street in the Outer City of Cyan Yang Ancient City.
Because of its prosperity, the three major gangs frequently clashed over control of this street.
Especially since Chu Fan beca a disciple of the Seven Stars Gang, he had to fight with Blood Saber Sect mbers every ti he ca to Xingning Street.
On the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Tower on Xingning Street, Zhou Ye, Xia Huanhuan, and Sun Zixuan were drinking.
Zhou Ye’s face was clouded with worry.
Sun Zixuan and the others repeatedly urged him to drink, but he didn’t react at all.
"Boss..."
Seeing Zhou Ye’s gloomy expression, Sun Zixuan said, "Are you thinking about that troublemaker Chu Fan again?"
"I already sent soone to inform him this morning. Told him not to co to Xingning Street."
"No need to worry."
Zhou Ye glanced at Sun Zixuan but said nothing, rely turning his gaze out the window.
Chu Fan had been a headache for him lately, but it was a minor issue.
What he was truly concerned about was the entanglent between the Moon Worship Sect and the Blood Saber Sect.
Last night, the Blood Saber Sect was actually massacred by a Demon Fiend...
’Was it really a Demon Fiend?’
’But many people claid to have seen a giant tail with their own eyes.’
’So even saw that the "Demon Fiend" that broke into the Blood Saber Sect was covered in scales.’
Zhou Ye felt sothing was off. He had a nagging feeling this was related to the "key."
’Could the Blood Saber Sect have already found the "key"?’
’That’s absolutely impossible!’
’Why would a Demon Fiend get involved...’
Zhou Ye gazed out the window, his heart a tangle of conflict and frustration.
It had been almost a month...
His second uncle had strictly forbidden him from investigating the Moon Worship Sect, and Xia Huanhuan was watching him like a hawk.
It was driving him mad.
’How can I accomplish anything great if I’m always so timid and hesitant?’
His second uncle wouldn’t let him investigate the Moon Worship Sect’s search for the "key," but after all this ti, the Zhou Family and their subordinates hadn’t found a single clue!
’Useless, all of them!’
Zhou Ye’s gaze slowly swept across the street below.
The Blood Saber Sect had t with disaster last night, and though he had been sitting in the Drunken Immortal Tower for half the day, he hadn’t seen a single Blood Saber Sect mber.
It seed the Blood Saber Sect had truly suffered a massive blow to its strength this ti.
Zhou Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
’The Blood Saber Sect has been hit hard. This is the perfect ti to strike them while they’re down!’
’What are those old geezers in the gang thinking?’
’Are they still just watching from the sidelines?’
’This is when we should be launching a thunderous assault, wiping out the Blood Saber Sect’s strongholds one by one!’
A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Ye’s eyes!
’My second uncle won’t let interfere with the Moon Worship Sect’s affairs... but he never said I couldn’t deal with the Blood Saber Sect!’
He could strike the Blood Saber Sect first, before anyone else had a chance to react!
Zhou Ye retracted his gaze and looked at Sun Zixuan, who was still rambling on, spitting as he spoke. "Go back and find my second uncle," he said. "Tell him to assign two experts at the Bone Marrow Forging Realm."
"Zhou Ye!" Xia Huanhuan exclaid in surprise. "What are you planning to do now?"
Zhou Ye waved his hand, and Sun Zixuan turned and left.
Only after Sun Zixuan was gone did Zhou Ye lay out his plan to deal with the Blood Saber Sect.
