Chapter 40: Studying the Gale

  "It's not just that young city master Hongfei, but also the vice city master of Dan Yun City, Hongzheng. He's the one known as the Canglan Sword King in our Beima Yuan!"

  Ran Li rubbed his hands together, a look of excitement on his face. "I heard that this time they're preparing to form an alliance with our family through marriage, but many people say that this time Dancheng City is actually coming to us to seek peace..."

  Yue Yu pursed his lips, and said lightly that although the strength of Dan Yun City was slightly inferior to that of Yue Jia City, he hadn't heard of any major casualties among its men recently. Now, with over a thousand martial artists at the Wu Shi level, and tens of thousands of eighth- and ninth-level warriors, there's no reason for them to be afraid of Yue Jia City.

  In his view, the reason why Dan Yun City stopped its hostile attitude towards Yue Jia City was that it did not want to suffer a double loss with Yue Jia City, which had already grown in strength and solidified its foundation. The two cities had vast territories and were both on the rise, so there was no need to fight for victory or defeat at this time.

  He recently heard from Yue Zhangshi that due to the five-level lion beast going south, the southern cities suffered heavy losses. Although they are already passing through Licheng, inviting a pre-heavenly expert to solve it, but for now, it's far water can't save the nearby fire.

  As a result of this matter, the amount of wound medicine purchased by their family's pharmacy suddenly surged, and overtime was also somewhat unable to complete orders.

  It can be seen that the alliance between Dan Yun City and Yue Jia City is likely to target these weak southern cities. Unless they abandon their foundation, they will only have one way to organize manpower to surround and attack. In the next few months, it's likely that there will be tens of thousands of casualties again.

  Yue Yu didn't feel any sadness, the people of Dongsheng Continent killed beasts, and beasts killing people was nothing out of the ordinary. Every year, the Yue family slaughtered tens of millions of demons in this valley, and those who heard that the fifth- and sixth-level demons that had opened their spiritual wisdom would occasionally go crazy, which was also a matter of course.

  Just as he thought this matter had nothing to do with him, Yue Yu suddenly paused, then immediately stopped in his tracks, turned his head and fixed a cold gaze on Ruan Li.

  "Engagement? Who is engaged to whom? Ali, what else did you hear?"

  "I heard that the Third Miss of the Cloud City Lord's family, who is a concubine-born daughter, married our Young Master Lin! And then there's Young Master Hongfei, I heard he came to accompany his own sister..."

  Ran Li was initially puzzled by Yue Yu's rapid change in demeanor. It wasn't until the mention of "Hong Fei" that he seemed to understand, and then smiled again.

  "Young master, Bing Qian is only eleven years old. It's not until she turns fifteen that it will be the year of her coming of age. Moreover, although our family is also a direct branch of the main house, there isn't anyone in the clan who has any say. Even if the young master of Tan Yun Castle is foolish, he won't choose our family."

  Yue Yu thought about it and felt that he was indeed too sensitive, so he didn't take it to heart. He wasn't worried about Yue Bingqian, but couldn't bear to see Yue Zhangshi's spirit hurt.

  At that time, Yue Yu didn't think about it, but from the perspective of ordinary people, Yue Bingqian marrying the young master of Dan Yun City was indeed a high match. After all, it was still the influence of Yue Yu's consciousness and ideology in his previous life. In his concept, there had never been any idea of marriage alliance or borrowing power. He relied on his own two hands to fight for his own world.

  Half a year has passed, and at this moment, the forest behind the mountain is already in the midst of spring giving way to summer. The sunlight filters through the leaves in dense layers, casting copper coin-sized patches of light on the ground.

  Despite the dense foliage separating them, both still felt a scorching intent. Yue Yu didn't care about that; as soon as he confirmed there was no one else around the spiritual ground, he immediately stood in front of an empty space, his expression subtly revealing excitement.

  Just yesterday afternoon, the meridians and collaterals in Yue Yu's body were completed. Today marks the official entry into the trial phase of 'Dì Fēng Shù'. And for this day, he had waited for a full half year.

  First, he extracted a portion of the true yuan and diverted it to extract the wind spirit power from his internal energy. Following the predetermined route, it swiftly circulated around him. After one cycle was completed, his surroundings had already gathered a considerable amount of cyan spiritual energy. Next, Yue Yu followed the arched trajectory that Feng Yi Xuan Huo had taken when he first activated 'Gust Technique', taking several steps forward. Then suddenly, Yue Yu felt his body become incredibly light and agile. The wind spirit power surrounding him also began to frantically seep into his body.

  Yue Yu's eyebrows slightly raised, and he took a light step forward. Then in the next instant, before anyone could even react, he had traversed dozens of feet, appearing right in front of Rong Li, who was staring at him with his mouth agape.

  Yue Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, within this spiritual land, those trees and obstacles had already been completely cleared away by them. If not for that, he would now either be crashing into those tree trunks or tripping over his own feet due to insufficient control, and might even end up with a fracture.

  "This can't be the Gale Technique?"

  Ran Li's big eyes were still wide open, and he couldn't believe what he had just seen. The innate skill that Feng Yi Xuan Hu used back then was deeply etched in his memory, and the similarity between the situation back then and now was at least 80%. But how could this be possible?

  Yue Yu nodded slightly, and at this time, he didn't plan to explain the details to Rong Li either. After sitting down, he quietly checked his body with the auxiliary system, and there was no abnormal phenomenon in the branched meridians. It seemed that it had already reached the standard of repeated use. Unfortunately, the wind spiritual power contained in his body's Great Primordial True Power was too small. Yue Yu estimated that if it were someone of the same level who cultivated wind-attribute techniques, they would be fine even after ten or twenty times, but for him, two times was already the limit.

  There is also the duration of the Gale Technique after it is activated, which may be due to differences in spiritual strength or physical strength. When Feng Wing Lian used it for over 40 seconds without any signs of weakening, but now he has only been using it for three seconds and the spiritual energy around him has already been depleted. In battle, it doesn't have much effect.

  What if the effect of Gale Strike only applies to one's own limbs?

  Yue Yu stood up, lost in thought, and once again circulated the wind spirit power within his body. However, after completing this process, he drew out a long sword from behind him and guided the external spirit power towards his right arm. The sword in his hand then moved forward in an irregular arc-shaped trajectory. What happened next left him stunned once more. In that instant, the sword in his hand almost became a phantom, and the consumption of the surrounding spirit energy also decreased significantly.

  At this moment, Yue Yu could hardly control the joy in his heart. Until today, he finally had a little capital to survive in this world. And if there was any regret, it was that this Wind Blade Technique wasn't quite suitable for knife techniques, but rather more suited for sword thrusts.

  There is also a limit to the spiritual power, Yue Yu's cultivation, even if he rushed to Wu Shi, I'm afraid that in one day, at most it would be only five or six times.

  If there was something that could replenish the depleted spiritual energy, it would be great. After all, his true yuan consumption wasn't much - thinking this way, Yue Yu suddenly had an idea and took out a Five Elements Spirit Pill from his pocket. Without hesitation, he extracted a small amount of wind spirit energy from the finished pill and absorbed it into his body. As expected, when they mixed with his own Grand Unity True Energy, they were quickly absorbed like a sponge soaking up water.

  His eyebrows rose with a hint of joy, and when using this "Gale Technique", his own true energy inside didn't consume much. After replenishing his spiritual power, he could continue to use it. Combined with the current state of his meridians, he could at least use it three more times.

  In addition, those branch meridians can continue to expand and strengthen. According to Yue Yu's estimation, at the extreme limit, they can be increased by at least three times more. The amount of use eight times, unless it is encountered with being besieged, even if it is eight people like Yue Cheng, he is enough to protect himself. As for higher-level martial artists above that, he has not seen them and it's really hard to make a conclusion.

  Watching Yue Yu's sword dance, which seemed to be a hundred times more powerful than before, Ren Li was once again heavily struck, his face filled with despair. He had previously thought that he should still be able to withstand Yue Yu's moves, but now he felt that he didn't even have the qualifications to stand in front of Yue Yu.

  At this point, Rong Li's eyes suddenly became slightly dazed. The thirteen-year-old boy in front of him, although his internal energy was two levels lower than his, had already far surpassed him in achievements. It was really unknown what kind of monster this young master would become in a few years.
