Take Off on the Spot! Return to Wu Tan City!

The first difficulty in cultivating the Purple Cloud Wings lay in the qualifications required!

One had to withstand the impact of the residual soul of a Fifth Tier Magical Beast!

The second was the need for tremendous endurance. The Purple Cloud Wings would forcibly carve out two entirely new subsidiary meridians within the body!

In the original story, even Xiao Yan, with his powerful Soul Power and willpower, had been painfully knocked unconscious!

Yet Xiao Ze could endure it.

Pain surged toward Xiao Ze like a tide, battering him like a reef.

No matter how fierce the waves became, the reef remained unmoving.

Time trickled by, and two entirely new subsidiary meridians formed along his spine.

At that moment, the pain slowly faded away.

Xiao Ze opened his eyes to find Xiao Yi Xian looking at him with concern.

"Xiao Ze, are you alright? You looked like you were in a lot of pain just now. Did you successfully cultivate the Dou Skill? The words and wings on the scroll are gone!"

Xiao Ze stood up and stretched his body, which felt slightly numb from the pain.

"It's complete. This Flying Dou Skill is rather strange. It can only accommodate one person cultivating it. Once the cultivation is complete, it naturally disappears."

"So that's how it is."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded. This was her first time hearing of a Flying Dou Skill, and she had not expected it to be so miraculous.

"So, Xiao Ze, you can fly now?"

Only then did Xiao Yi Xian realize it. "That's something only experts above the Dou Ling level can do, yet you can actually do it!"

The hierarchy of the Dou Qi Continent was strict. Only Dou Ling experts could briefly hover in the air.

To truly fly, one had to be a Dou Wang expert!

Dou Qi Wings, soaring through the skies!

"I'll give it a try. If it works, I'll take you flying!"

Xiao Ze smiled and removed his shirt, baring his upper body.

"Y-you... what are you doing?"

Seeing Xiao Ze take off his shirt without a word, Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly covered her eyes.

"Didn't you say you were trying out the Flying Dou Skill? Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Xiao Yi Xian said with a mixture of embarrassment and indignation.

Although they had already been physically intimate, taking off his clothes at the drop of a hat still seemed inappropriate!

"What are you thinking? I'm doing this to keep my clothes from being damaged. I only have these two sets of clothes left."

Xiao Ze explained, turning his back toward Xiao Yi Xian.

The vast Dou Qi within his body flowed into the two newly opened subsidiary meridians.

Xiao Yi Xian parted her fingers and saw a pair of purple-black wings, each no bigger than a palm, on Xiao Ze's back.

The wings bloomed with purple radiance. As Dou Qi flowed through them, the purple-black wings solidified and abruptly grew from palm-sized to nearly several feet wide.

"Wow!"

Xiao Yi Xian could not help exclaiming in admiration. Under Xiao Ze's control, the wings slowly flapped.

A powerful buoyant force lifted Xiao Ze into the air. He rose to a height of more than a person before slowly descending.

"This stone chamber is too small. Let's go outside and try it!"

Xiao Ze took Xiao Yi Xian's hand and headed out of the cave.

They had already thoroughly looted everything here, so it did not matter if they left now.

When they reached the stone platform outside, Xiao Ze spread the Purple Cloud Wings once more.

Amid Xiao Yi Xian's startled cry, Xiao Ze suddenly leaped down into the valley.

"Xiao Ze!"

Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly looked down, only to feel a fierce gust blowing against her.

She raised a hand to shield her eyes and saw Xiao Ze flapping his wings as he slowly flew back up.

"I don't want to die that badly!"

Xiao Ze said with a smile.

"You're far too bold! Isn't this your first time mastering a Dou Skill? You actually dared jump straight off a cliff to test it!"

"It is my first time, but I had already gotten familiar with the Purple Cloud Wings inside the cave."

Xiao Ze felt the massive depletion of Dou Qi within him and sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, flying was not something a mere Dou Shi could handle.

If an ordinary Dou Shi squandered their Dou Qi like he did, they would have exhausted it long ago.

Fortunately, his Dou Zhi Qi Cyclone was unusual, and the quality of his liquefied Dou Qi was extremely high.

Only then could he sustain the consumption of the Purple Cloud Wings.

Xiao Ze flew around the valley for a while longer before returning to the stone platform to recover his Dou Qi.

"Alright, I've completely mastered it now. Once I recover my Dou Qi, I'll take you flying!"

Xiao Ze said confidently.

"Mm!"

If Xiao Yi Xian had held even a trace of concern before, she was now completely confident in Xiao Ze.

She eagerly looked forward to having him take her flying.

Just now, Xiao Ze had performed all sorts of difficult maneuvers in the valley. He did not look like someone using a Flying Dou Skill for the first time at all!

Before long, Xiao Yi Xian's delighted cries echoed through the valley!

At this time, Xiao Yi Xian had yet to tame a Flying Magical Beast.

This was also her first time soaring through the sky!

The intense novelty of the experience made Xiao Yi Xian cry out again and again.

Her fear was mixed with excitement.

Even though Xiao Ze had an arm around her waist, Xiao Yi Xian still clung tightly to him, afraid she might fall.

Only when Xiao Ze returned to the stone platform did Xiao Yi Xian finally loosen her hold.

There was still a trace of longing on her face!

"So this is what flying feels like? It's incredible!"

"No wonder so many people aspire to become strong. As long as one becomes strong, they can soar freely through the skies!"

Xiao Yi Xian said wistfully.

"Haha, if you want, I can take you flying more often these next few days."

"Alright! But won't that consume too much of your Dou Qi?"

"It's fine. I think I can still manage!"

Over the next few days, Xiao Ze took Xiao Yi Xian flying back and forth through the valley.

He did not dare fly around the outer region. The outer reaches of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were filled with low-tier Magical Beasts.

However, there was no guarantee that high-tier Magical Beasts would not appear. Flying through the air would be like becoming a living target!

Time passed in a rush, and it was time to return to Wu Tan City.

If they delayed any longer, they would probably miss the enrollment date.

These past few days, Xiao Xun'er had also brought Xiao Ze all kinds of benefits.

She had actually broken through three stars in succession!

Such an outrageous cultivation speed left Xiao Ze clicking his tongue in amazement!

However, he had not claimed the reward.

He planned to wait until he was preparing to break through to Da Dou Shi before claiming it!

He wanted to see whether claiming this non-advancement reward before breaking through to Da Dou Shi would produce any special effect.

Five days later, Xiao Ze brought Xiao Yi Xian back to Wu Tan City, weary from the journey.

Looking at the passing mercenaries and merchants, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"So this is a large city? It really does have a liveliness Qing Shan Town can't compare to!"

"By the way, Xiao Ze, shouldn't you take off that layer of skin now?"

"I've known you for so many days, but I still don't know what you really look like!"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were full of curiosity. She felt as if ants were crawling through her heart.

On the way back to Wu Tan City, she had constantly speculated about Xiao Ze's appearance.

"You're right, but it's a shame about this Exquisite Face Mask. One costs ten thousand Gold Coins, and it'll be ruined once I take it off!"

Xiao Ze said regretfully.

"Let's wash up while we're at it!"

Xiao Ze led Xiao Yi Xian to a small stream.

Xiao Yi Xian stood by the stream while Xiao Ze jumped into the water and began washing himself.

After spending more than ten days together, their relationship had grown much closer, and they were no longer so formal with each other.

At the very least, Xiao Yi Xian no longer reacted much upon seeing Xiao Ze bare-chested and washing himself.

She openly looked over his body and even teased him.

"Xiao Ze, haven't you gotten a little stronger? Why do you seem a bit different from ten days ago?"

"Probably. I've used a lot of Dou Qi these past few days, so it also counts as training."

Xiao Ze replied casually. By the time he emerged from the water, he had already changed his face.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes immediately widened, and she could not help thinking, What a handsome young man!
