Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Golden Goose Skill (Please save, please vote, thank you!)
As Shi Xiaole prepared to strike Lei Lie, many people in the same direction were stimulated. Taking into account the subsequent words of Yu Fangge, everyone was greatly surprised.
A realm...Is it a realm?
"Senior Brother Shi, didn’t you have an insight into the dangerous realm? But just now, it clearly wasn’t that," muttered the round-faced female disciple, her face colored with confusion. Could it be another variation of the dangerous realm?
"Indeed, it’s not the dangerous realm. But who decided that a person could only comprehend one realm?"
Someone put forth a bold conjecture, immediately causing a commotion at the scene.
"Xiaole, answer me, has you grasped a second realm?"
Yu Fangge shouted loudly.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Xiaole realized he could not hide, and there was no need for him to hide, so he nodded.
Whoosh!
At this moment, whether it was the disciples of Huajian Sect or Changfeng Sect, everyone watched Shi Xiaole on the stage with shocked eyes.
As to the comprehension of a realm, an ordinary person would be grateful if they could comprehend one, and they would be considered one in a hundred.
Actually, before Shi Xiaole, among the thirteen sects of Mountain Luyan, no disciple had ever realized a realm.
But now, it seems Shi Xiaole, not content with comprehending one realm, has understood a second one. Is he intending to force others to despair?
"Two realms?"
Mao Wenjing took a deep breath, momentarily stunned.
Xiao Yuanbo gave a bitter smile, shaking his head. Even Yuan Qiuwei, the big senior brother, didn’t know how to describe his little junior brother at this point.
"Sect Master Lei, would you like to continue the competition?"
With a face full of smiles, Yu Fangge looked at Lei Lie, whose face was pale, feeling secretly vindicated.
"Yu Fangge, don’t be so pleased. Sometimes being too outstanding is not a good thing."
Lei Lie gritted his teeth secretly, glared at Shi Xiaole fiercely, and left. As he left, Chu Lin, who was in a state of shock, and the disciples of the Changfeng Sect, also followed behind him.
Seeing the other party coming aggressively, and leaving dejectedly, the disciples of the Huajian Sect broke into resounding cheers.
This was the first time they had really put the Changfeng Sect in their place.
And the key to all this was the young man in green on the stage.
"Senior Brother Shi!"
Some people couldn’t help shouting in excitement, attracting more and more people to join in. In the end, the name "Senior Brother Shi" echoed throughout the martial arts field, shaking the ground.
Strong individuals are always easy to respect. Today, Shi Xiaole’s calm defeat of Chu Lin undoubtedly made him a strong man in the hearts of these young disciples.
Before this, defeating Bloody Hand Lian Tu was not something they had witnessed firsthand. So today’s battle truly established Shi Xiaole’s supreme position in the hearts of the Huajian Sect disciples.
His face flushing slightly, Shi Xiaole was not used to this kind of scene and looked at Yu Fangge.
With the spot of a smile, Yu Fangge shouted: "What’s all the noise! Get back to your work now, practice if you need to practice, do if you have duty to do. This sect master needs to retreat."
The crowd burst out laughing.
Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the Huajian Sect’s disciples, Shi Xiaole ended up being stuck in the martial arts field, answering questions on difficult moves for some people.
Luckily, he was calm and serious, and with his humble words, he managed to give advice without appearing arrogant.
Thus, more and more Huajian Sect disciples started to like Shi Xiaole, who was not only strong but also humble. They began to admire their senior brother.
After half a day of hard work, Shi Xiaole finally returned to his yard. Instead of resting, he entered the system space immediately.
The system prompted him that it was time for the monthly draw.
Looking at the flickering halo inside the Martial God Hall, Shi Xiaole thought to himself. He was not sure what kind of martial arts he would draw this time.
Now, for his swordsmanship, he had the high-tier Third-Class Taiyue Three Green Peaks and the Sliver of Life.
For blade skill, he had the mid-tier Third-Class Battle Blade Skill, integrated with Chaotic Intent Realm, making it as powerful as an ordinary high-tier Third-Class blade skill.
For fist techniques, similarly with the Chaotic Intent Realm combined with the Hundred Blooms Fist, he could compete with a high-tier Third-Class fist technique.
As for the power of the One-Blade technique coupled with the Chaotic Intent Realm, it was hard to tell how strong it could be since Shi Xiaole hadn’t tested it out in a real combat yet.
That’s why, as long as he could draw a high-tier Third-Class martial arts skill now and combine it with the Chaotic Intent Realm, it could enhance Shi Xiaole’s weak points and improve his overall strength, without any surprising outcome.
The reason he said "without any surprise" was because some martial arts might not be compatible with the Chaotic Intent Realm. If they were rashly merged, it might weaken rather than strengthen them.
As for the Dangerous Intent Realm, it currently relies on Taiyue Three Green Peaks and cannot be extracted independently. Unlike the Chaotic Intent Realm, which originates from the heart and can be used freely.
A gleam of light flared up, then finally settled.
When he saw the martial art on the draw, Shi Xiaole revealed a sincere smile, this was indeed an unexpected surprise.
"Congratulations, Host, you’ve obtained a superior class third-tier flying skill, the Golden Goose Skill of Guo Jin."
It was actually a superior class third-tier flying skill!
Shi Xiaole suddenly realized that if there was something he was lacking, it was definitely his flying skill, his biggest weakness.
After all, the Flying Phoenix Skill was only a mid-tier third-class flying skill. It could no longer keep pace with Shi Xiaole’s pace.
Back on Wanlin Mountain, if Shi Xiaole had learned a superior class third-tier flying skill, he wouldn’t have had to take risks and turn back to kill others. He could have just left; they wouldn’t have been able to catch up.
Not to mention, flying skills are not only useful for fleeing.
If your flying skills are strong, you can take more control in fights and it’s easier to find your opponents’ weaknesses. Unnoticeably, it could improve a martial artist’s strength.
The Golden Goose Skill had quite the reputation in the martial arts world. It was one of the Quanzhen Sect’s flying skills. It was said that those who truly mastered the skill could ascend three feet in the air and take thirty-seven steps while in mid-air. It was incredibly powerful.
Although this skill belonged to the Quanzhen Sect’s martial arts, the person who had truly brought it to its limit and promoted it was none other than Guo Juxia himself.
It was clear from the fact that when Ma Yu passed this skill to Guo Juxia, Guo Juxia was able to surpass the limits of the Golden Goose Skill with his strong internal power. Outsid the city of Xiangyang, he managed to ascend dozens of feet into the sky. This feat was truly shocking.
Since the Golden Goose Skill Shi Xiaole received was from Guo Juxia, theoretically, when he brought it to its limit, he should also be able to ascend dozens of feet into the sky.
"The Golden Goose Skill, if I can master this skill, my lightness skills can greatly improve, and my only weakness will disappear."
On the day after receiving the Golden Goose Skill, Shi Xiaole immediately began to practice.
The Golden Goose Skill was not as simple as other light skills, it required integration of both internal and external elements. So, during the practicing process, the coordination of footwork and internal power was paramount.
To Shi Xiaole’s delight, due to the function of the Golden Goose Skill in mobilizing internal power, while he was practicing the Golden Goose Skill, he was also purifying his internal power, filtering out impurities, and accelerating his breakthrough in his internal power. It could indeed be considered as killing two birds with one stone.
Three days later, beside a cliff near the sea of clouds.
A figure was seen flying up, with a push of his feet, he ascended another foot in mid-air, traversing over two meters before coming to a stop.
"Impressive, although the Golden Goose Skill has only reached the stage of Divine Harmony Perfection, its effects are no less than that of the Transformation Phase complete Flying Phoenix Skill, and even more profound."
Shi Xiaole smiled, feeling great. He was looking forward more and more to what effects the Golden Goose Skill would produce when it reached the Transformation Phase completion stage.
Time flew by, and twelve days passed.
On the fifteenth day of receiving the Golden Goose Skill, due to his enhanced comprehension, Shi Xiaole finally practiced it to the stage of Transformation Phase completion.
At the edge of the cliff near the sea of clouds, Shi Xiaole gave a light push with his feet, his body moved like a flying wild goose across the void, traversing thirty-seven steps in mid-air and then soaring nearly half a foot again before gently floating to the ground.
Looking back, he had leaped almost five meters.
"With the Golden Goose Skill, I’m three times more likely to escape if I encounter an opponent I can’t beat. Unfortunately, I can only ascend about half a foot in the air, not multiple feet. This must be due to my lack of internal power."
Despite some regret, Shi Xiaole was, for the most part, satisfied.
In the martial world, there have always been few martial arts, especially top grade internal and light skills. Most high-level warriors with low qi absorption haven’t necessarily practiced superior class third-tier light skills.
Otherwise, that old lady with a crutch on Wanlin Mountain would not have to use her light skill as a trump card.
Therefore, after practicing the Golden Goose Skill, although it seems that Shi Xiaole’s strength has not significantly increased, both his combat and survival skills have improved somewhat.
After practicing the Golden Goose Skill, Shi Xiaole had originally planned to consolidate his other martial arts, but he was interrupted by an event at noon that day.
"Senior Brother Shi, the Sect Master invites you to a meeting in his study."
In the dining hall, a member of the Huajian Sect approached, speaking respectfully.
"A meeting? Has something else happened?"
With a curious heart, Shi Xiaole arrived at Yu Fangge’s study. In addition to Yu Fangge, the other three direct disciples were also present.
After greeting everyone, Yu Fangge laughed and said, "I’ve called you four here to discuss the upcoming Cloud Sky Meeting."
Cloud Sky Meeting?
Since he had only joined the Huajian Sect a year ago, and had not been considered important before, the term "Cloud Sky Meeting" was rather blurry in Shi Xiaole’s memory.
"The Cloud Sky Meeting is a grand meeting organized by the Cloud Sky Alliance."
Seeing this, Yuan Qiuwei, the senior brother, explained, "In the martial world, all the major forces are divided into orthodox and unorthodox factions. The Cloud Sky Alliance is an organization formed by over sixty percent of the unorthodox factions in the Cloud Triangle, with the intention to help each other and echo their prestige."
"I see."
Having heard this, Shi Xiaole nodded in understanding.
From Yuan Qiuwei’s expressions and words, he had a feeling that the formation of the Cloud Sky Alliance might also have been related to the orthodox martial forces.
Where there are people, there are fights, and the same applies to different factions.
Think about it, one is the orthodox faction with official status, greater background resources.
The other is the unorthodox faction, powerless and comprised of ’unaffiliated martial artists’. The two factions have completely different nature and status, and living harmoniously is indeed a surprise.
Wang Bufan, whom he met before, was a disciple of an orthodox martial arts sect. Although one shouldn’t judge the majority based on a minority, from his disdainful behavior to his peers, one can draw a rough picture of the relationship between the two factions in the martial world.
