Chapter 7
After returning to his little hill, Xu Fan took out a lounge chair, sat in the pavilion on the edge of the hill, and began to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains.
In his leisure time, Xu Fan thought of his past life’s experiences.
“If only I could have brought a computer with internet access when I crossed over, at least that would have helped pass the boring time.”
“Nowadays, cultivating immortality has made me a bit overly detached.”
Xu Fan looked at the Inner Sect disciples who occasionally flew across the sky.
“In this long journey of life, I shall seek immortality~~”
At this moment, a ten-thousand-meter-long giant ship flew across the sky, heading towards the Inner Sect.
The giant ship was surrounded by several thousand-meter-long warships, and there were even hundreds of Golden Core stage Golden Flame Birds patrolling the airspace around them.
Xu Fan gazed at the warships in the sky with a fascinated expression. Warships, giant ships, spaceships – they were all his favorite things and interesting to him.
In his past life, he built handmade models of imaginary spaceships, only for his mother to throw them away for not focusing on his career.
“I wonder when I’ll get the chance to board a giant ship.”
“Once I learn to refine tools, I wonder if I could build my own,” Xu Fan watched the giant ship and warships disappearing into the sky and said.
This wasn’t the first time he had seen the Sect’s giant ship. According to his observations, this symbol of the Sect’s identity spent at least seven or eight months away from the Sect every year.
Xu Fan speculated that the giant ship, along with the warships, might be out searching for resources.
At this moment, there was some movement in the restriction, and then a pleasant sound rang out, indicating that someone had come to visit.
Xu Fan shot out a beam of light, and a small door appeared outside the restriction, just big enough for one person to pass through.
“How do you have time today, did you finish your task already?”
Even with his eyes closed, Xu Fan knew it was Wang Yulun.
At this moment, Wang Yulun was limping towards the pavilion where Xu Fan was sitting.
“I got hurt while doing a task, so I need to rest for a few days. Just came to see if Brother Xu is around.”
Wang Yulun sat down in the pavilion and took a deep breath.
Xu Fan glanced back at Wang Yulun, then turned his gaze back towards the scenery outside the mountain and said leisurely, “You should make good use of the Light Feather Wind Technique I gave you. With it, even a demonic beast at the 7th level of Qi Cultivation wouldn’t be able to hurt you. You were just stubborn.”
Hearing Xu Fan’s words, Wang Yulun scratched his head and grinned. “That demonic beast had an extremely strong defense, and only the technique Brother Xu gave me could break its defense.”
“In order to deliver a fatal blow to the demonic beast, that’s why I chose to be stubborn.”
Having been friends with Xu Fan for two years, Wang Yulun could understand some more modern terms.
“Your combat talent is just terrible,” Xu Fan shook his head and said.
“You only know how to fight if you can’t kill instantly, don’t you? Kiting, positioning, long-range fast casting, aren’t these concepts I’ve told you about before?”
“If I taught you close combat defense techniques back then, you probably would have forgotten them now.”
“Hehe, I was just focused on killing that demonic beast at the time,” Wang Yulun chuckled.
Xu Fan had significantly influenced Wang Yulun’s combat skills, which were mostly unconsciously guided during their conversations.
Otherwise, Wang Yulun wouldn’t have been able to kill a demonic beast at the 6th level of Qi Cultivation with his 4th level Qi Cultivation strength.
“Forget it, you take your time to understand these things.”
Xu Fan feels like he was making mountains out of molehills.
“Come on, Brother Xu, I came here today to learn how to deal with those high-defense and fast demonic beasts.” Wang Yulun hurriedly said, as it was one of the important reasons for his visit.
“You, a reserve disciple from the Battle Hall, are asking me, a shut-in who has never left home. Are you out of your mind?”
Xu Fan said without turning his head, thinking that battle skills were like that. Some concepts just naturally make sense, and teaching such things can get quite troublesome.
At this moment, Wang Yulun’s face became embarrassed. We’ve spent so much time together; who doesn’t know who? The combat techniques we usually talk about are probably beyond what even the Battle Hall elders could explain.
Although he didn’t understand some of it, the feeling of profound mystery was unmistakable.
“Brother Xu, stop joking. I know your combat talent in the art of killing.”
Back when Xu Fan saved Wang Yulun, the wounds on the foreheads of the three demonic beasts still caused his heart to palpitate when he thought of them.
A qi cultivator at the 4th level could target the same area during the high-speed movement of the three demonic beasts.
At that time, Xu Fan recalled Wang Yulun’s identity – a genius from a small family.
“Fine, I’ll tell you how to deal with those demonic beasts.”
“In exchange, you tell me what you know about that Floating Skyship that appeared in the sky just now.” Xu Fan said. He had searched for information about that giant ship before, but to no avail.
“You’re talking about the Floating Skyship? No problem, I know a lot about that.” Wang Yulun quickly replied.
Xu Fan moved a chair next to Wang Yulun to sit down.
A purple light flashed from his index finger, gently tapping Wang Yulun’s sun-point.
In a moment, the world turned upside down, and Xu Fan and Wang Yulun’s figures appeared in a pure white world.
“Brother Xu, your illusion art is simply heaven-defying. Is this the Bewitching Technique?” Wang Yulun asked in amazement, looking around. Very few people study such techniques during the Qi Cultivation stage.
To master this technique, one’s entire Qi Cultivation stage would likely have to be spent on it.
“Yes, it’s the Bewitching Technique. In this space, you can use your full strength.”
“Alright, it’s time for lessons. But I can’t maintain it for too long with my spiritual power,” Xu Fan said.
Blue skies, grasslands, rivers, and distant mountains appeared in the surroundings as the space around them transformed.
A 7th level Qi cultivation Rocky Mantis appeared.
“As far as I know, the fastest and highest defense demonic beast is this thing.”
“You have a quarter of an hour. See if you can kill it, and then I’ll point out your flaws.”
Just as Xu Fan finished speaking, the Rocky Mantis raised its blade-like arms and turned into a shadow, flying towards Wang Yulun.
“Damn it! You didn’t even say ‘start!’ ”
Wang Yulun turned into a shadow and started fighting the Rocky Mantis.
Using the Lightweight Feather Wind Technique to the utmost limit, Wang Yulun formed a hand gesture, and a wooden spear burning with flames appeared in his hands, firing it at the Rocky Mantis behind him.
The Rocky Mantis’s body suddenly sped up, dodging Wang Yulun’s Fire Spear Technique.
“Your speed is acceptable, but your Fire Spear Technique casting speed is too slow, and your technique prediction is simply child’s play,” Xu Fan mercilessly pointed out Wang Yulun’s performance.
Wang Yulun hesitated for a moment and immediately got caught by the opportunity-making Rocky Mantis, leaving a wound on his body.
“And you’re getting distracted during battle.”
“Continue~”
