Sky Floating Giant Vessel
Three days later, after Xu Fan finished watering the patch of Seven-Colored Flowers, he let out a sigh of relief.
He could be a little more like a Salted Fish from now on and do things he enjoyed.
After returning to his Small Hilltop, Xu Fan took out a Recliner and sat in the Pavilion at the edge of the peak, admiring the beautiful mountain scenery all around him.
With nothing to do, Xu Fan thought of scenes from his previous life again.
If only I'd brought a computer with Internet access when I transmigrated. At least it could've helped pass the boring hours.
Cultivating immortality has made me a little too pure-hearted and desireless.
Xu Fan spoke as he watched Inner Sect Disciples occasionally fly past overhead.
"Through the endless years, I alone shall live forever~~"
Just then, a Giant Boat ten thousand meters long flew across the sky, heading toward the Inner Sect.
Several warships a thousand meters long escorted the Giant Boat, while hundreds more rode Golden Core Stage Golden Flame Birds around the outer perimeter, patrolling the surrounding airspace.
Xu Fan gazed at the warships in the sky with an intoxicated expression. Warships, Giant Boats, Spaceships—those were all things he loved most and found most fascinating.
His family had owned models he had painstakingly made by hand in his previous life, creations from the fantasies in his heart. Then his mother had thrown them away on the grounds that they were a waste of time.
"I wonder when I'll get to board that Giant Boat."
"Once I learn artifact forging, I wonder if I can make one myself." Xu Fan watched the Giant Boat and warships vanish into the sky.
This was not the first time he had seen the Sect's Giant Boat. By his observations, this vessel, which represented the Sect's status, spent at least seven or eight months of every year away from the Sect.
By Xu Fan's calculations, the Giant Boat and the surrounding warships should have gone out to search for resources.
Just then, the Forbidden Barrier stirred and emitted a pleasant chiming sound, signaling that someone had come to visit.
Xu Fan sent out a streak of Spiritual Light, and a small door appeared outside the Forbidden Barrier, just large enough for one person to pass through.
"What brings you here today? Have you finished your mission?"
He knew it was Wang Yulun without even opening his eyes.
At this moment, Wang Yulun limped toward the Pavilion where Xu Fan was.
"I got injured during a mission and need to recuperate for a few days. So I came to see whether Brother Xu was around."
Wang Yulun sat down in the Pavilion and let out a long breath.
Xu Fan glanced back at Wang Yulun, then turned to look at the scenery beyond the mountain and said leisurely, "If you had made good use of the Light Body Magic Art I gave you, even a Qi Refining Level Seven Demon Beast wouldn't have been able to hurt you. You went head-on against it."
Hearing Xu Fan's words, Wang Yulun scratched his head and said sheepishly, "That Demon Beast's defense was incredibly strong. Only the spell Brother Xu gave me could break through its defense."
"To deal it a fatal blow, I had no choice but to go head-on against it."
After being friends with Xu Fan for two years, he had come to understand some of the more novel terms Xu Fan used.
"Your talent for combat is simply rotten to the core," Xu Fan said, shaking his head.
"Can you not fight unless you insta-kill your opponent? Positioning, kiting, rapid long-range casting—I've told you about these concepts before."
"At your rate, even if I taught you a defensive art for when enemies got close, you'd probably forget it in the heat of battle."
"Hehe, wasn't I just focused on killing that Demon Beast at the time?" Wang Yulun said with a chuckle.
His current fighting techniques had a great deal to do with Xu Fan. They had all been unintentionally guided out of him during their chats.
Otherwise, he could not have slain a Qi Refining Level Six Demon Beast with the strength of Qi Refining Level Four.
"Forget it. You can slowly figure this sort of thing out yourself."
Xu Fan felt like he was eating radishes and worrying over nothing.
"Don't, Brother Xu. One of the main reasons I came today was to ask you how to deal with Demon Beasts that have high defense or great speed," Wang Yulun hurriedly said.
"You're a Preparatory Disciple of the War Hall, and you came to ask a Homebody who's never left the Sect? Is there something wrong with your head?"
Xu Fan said without turning around. In his view, combat techniques were just that. If you understood the principles, you understood them; teaching such things was extremely troublesome.
Wang Yulun's face immediately twisted into an awkward expression. They had known each other for so long—who didn't know the other by now? The combat techniques Xu Fan usually talked about were probably beyond even what the War Hall Elders could explain.
Though there were things he could not understand, that mysterious, unfathomable feeling could not possibly be wrong.
"Brother Xu, stop joking. Others may not know about your talent in Offensive and Killing Arts, but how could I not?"
When Xu Fan had saved Wang Yulun back then, the wounds between the brows of those three Demon Beasts had left his heart pounding even when he recalled them now.
At Qi Refining Level Four, Xu Fan had actually struck the same spot on all three Demon Beasts while they were moving at high speed.
At this point, Xu Fan recalled Wang Yulun's identity: a genius from a small Clan.
"Fine. I'll explain how to deal with such Demon Beasts."
"In exchange, tell me everything you know about that Sky Floating Giant Vessel that appeared in the sky just now." Xu Fan had looked for information on that Giant Boat before, but unfortunately, he had never found any.
"You mean the Floating Sky Vessel? No problem. I know that quite well," Wang Yulun immediately said.
Xu Fan moved a chair beside him and gestured for Wang Yulun to sit down.
A forefinger flickering with purple light gently touched Wang Yulun's temple.
In an instant, heaven and earth spun around them, and Xu Fan and Wang Yulun appeared in a White World.
"Brother Xu, your Illusion Art is simply heaven-defying. Is this the Soul Bewitching Art?" Wang Yulun asked in astonishment as he looked around. Few people learned this kind of spell during the Qi Refining Stage.
To master such an art, one would likely have to devote the entire Qi Refining Stage to it.
"Yes, it's the Soul Bewitching Art. In this space, you can exert your full strength."
"Alright, it's lesson time now. My spiritual power can't sustain this for long," Xu Fan said.
The surrounding space began to change. Blue skies, grasslands, rivers, and faintly connected mountain ranges in the distance appeared around them.
A Qi Refining Level Seven Rock Armor Mantis Demon Beast appeared.
"The fastest and most heavily defended Demon Beast I can think of right now is this thing."
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. See if you can kill it, and then I'll tell you what your problems are."
The moment Xu Fan finished speaking, the Rock Mantis raised its blade-like arms and transformed into an Ethereal Projection as it shot toward Wang Yulun.
"Damn it, you didn't even say start!"
Wang Yulun also transformed into an Ethereal Projection and became entangled in battle with the Rock Mantis.
Wang Yulun pushed the Light Feather Wind Transformation Art to its Limit. Forming a Dharma Seal with both hands, he conjured a Wood Spear blazing with fierce flames and fired it at the Rock Mantis behind him.
The Rock Mantis suddenly sped up and dodged Wang Yulun's Fire Spear Art.
"Your speed is decent, but your Fire Spear Art is too slow to cast. And your spell prediction is practically child-level." Xu Fan watched Wang Yulun's performance and spoke without mercy.
Wang Yulun faltered for an instant, and the Rock Mantis immediately seized the chance to tear a wound across his body.
"And you dare to lose focus during a fight."
