The Legacy of the Speed Clan

The Speed Clan had long since prepared a lavish dinner.

At Bai He's invitation, everyone took their seats.

"By the way, Old Bai He, where are Old Rhinoceros and Old Goat? Haven't they arrived yet?" Titan asked after sitting down.

"You old ape, aren't you always the most eager one at every gathering? As for them, they'll probably need another two days to get here." Bai He rolled his eyes irritably.

Because of the long journey, Titan had set out early as well. He had not been delayed much along the way, and when he arrived at the Speed Clan, there were still two days left before the agreed date.

"Haha, I just missed you old friends!" Titan said smugly.

"Sect Master Ning, please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality." Holding up his wine cup, a trace of desolation flashed through Bai He's eyes.

He had wanted to prepare an even more sumptuous dinner, but circumstances simply did not allow it.

"It is already very lavish. I should be thanking Clan Head Bai He for your generous hospitality." Ning Fengzhi also raised his cup and offered Bai He a toast from afar.

He had learned some things about the Speed Clan's situation from Titan. He knew their lives were difficult, and that they depended on aid from the other three clans even to make ends meet.

Thus, before coming here, Ning Fengzhi had prepared a generous gift.

After all, due to their Martial Souls, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacked nothing in the way of wealth.

Bai He knew about the generous gift Ning Fengzhi had brought. His life truly had become too difficult; otherwise, given his pride, he would never have accepted it.

However, Ning Fengzhi had struck exactly the right balance. The gifts he sent were precisely at the limit of what Bai He could accept, quietly increasing Bai He's favorable impression of him without a sound.

After only one afternoon, Bai He's opinion of this refined and courteous Sect Master Ning had greatly improved.

Even now, Ning Fengzhi had not displayed any intention toward the Speed Clan. In his view, there was no rush. Even his visit to the Speed Clan this time was merely meant to establish friendly relations with them.

As for how to make the Speed Clan join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect later on, he would have to wait for the right opportunity.

With Ning Fengzhi subtly guiding the conversation, everyone chatted cheerfully, and the atmosphere gradually grew livelier.

Early the next morning, Bai He found some time to bring Ye Feng alone into a pavilion.

"Xiaofeng, this is where our Speed Clan keeps its research records on Martial Souls. The most valuable among them are the studies regarding the Sharp-tailed Swallow."

"There is also research on Spirit Masters and soul beasts. Though it may not compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there are still things worth learning from it. From now on, the Speed Clan's library will always be open to you." Bai He patted Ye Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Ever since learning that Ye Feng possessed Innate Full Soul Power, Bai He had held great expectations for him.

Although Ye Feng could not return to the clan, he still carried the bloodline of the Speed Clan. Any achievement Ye Feng attained in the future would, to a certain extent, represent the Speed Clan.

He believed that with Ye Feng's talent, becoming a Titled Douluo in the future would not be difficult.

When that time came, the Speed Clan might even rise to glory because of Ye Feng.

"I'll study well." Ye Feng nodded seriously.

Honestly, Bai He had truly treated him well. He had even opened the clan's inherited knowledge to him.

One had to know that this inheritance had been painstakingly accumulated by generations of Speed Clan ancestors. Every scrap of knowledge had come at great cost.

Yet Bai He had opened all of it to him without holding anything back.

That alone showed just how generous Bai He was toward him.

"Study hard. If there's anything you don't understand, come find me anytime." After briefly introducing the categories of books in the library, Bai He left. As the head of the clan, he had plenty of matters to handle.

He also needed to entertain Titan, Ning Fengzhi, and the others.

After Bai He left, Ye Feng made a rough circuit of the pavilion before stopping in front of a bookshelf containing books on the Sharp-tailed Swallow Martial Soul.

There were more books on the Sharp-tailed Swallow than anything else in the pavilion. The records alone filled an entire bookshelf.

Ye Feng casually pulled out a book and began reading.

These records were quite useful to him. They covered various Spirit Ring Configurations, what soul beasts to hunt, and the effects of the Spirit Rings obtained...

All of it carried considerable value as reference.

Of course, what mattered most to Ye Feng was the inherited configuration developed by the Speed Clan.

This set of configurations had been developed through the exploration of generations of Speed Clan members and could save Ye Feng from taking many detours.

Over the next two days, Ye Feng buried himself in study, absorbing the Speed Clan's inherited knowledge.

After learning about the Speed Clan's inheritance, Ye Feng discovered that their Spirit Ring Configurations were basically all focused on increasing speed. Beyond that, there were some support Soul Skills related to detection, evasion, and the like.

However, they had not done much research into Attack Soul Skills.

They truly were a clan devoted purely to agility and speed. For the sake of speed, they had actually abandoned Soul Skills related to offense.

But Ye Feng saw himself as an Assault Type Spirit Master, so the Speed Clan's Spirit Ring Configurations could only serve as a reference for him.

After all, his Martial Soul could still evolve in the future. He would definitely need Soul Skills with offensive capabilities.

After finishing the Spirit Ring materials on the Sharp-tailed Swallow, Ye Feng wandered around the pavilion again. Finally, he stopped before a separate bookshelf.

He had discovered that there was only one book on it.

That naturally piqued his curiosity.

Ye Feng picked it up and saw that it recorded a Self-Created Soul Skill.

It was called Wind Riding Flight. Only flying-type martial souls could cultivate this soul skill. By controlling the martial soul's wings and manipulating the airflow, it increased flight speed while reducing Soul Power consumption.

"I didn't expect the Speed Clan to have a Self-Created Soul Skill too."

Ye Feng could no longer remain calm. Self-Created Soul Skills were still soul skills. Though they were not as miraculous as soul ring skills, they still had decent effects. In his hands, they could even unleash their greatest potential.

After all, his soul skills could cultivate themselves automatically, so he did not need to waste time training them.

He did not even need to cultivate at all. He only needed to become proficient in using his own strength.

"What a good thing!"

Ye Feng exclaimed happily, then began reading carefully.

"Ding! Your martial soul has come into contact with the Wind Riding Flight soul skill and is currently deducing it..."

"Ding! Deduction complete. You have obtained the Wind Riding Flight soul skill."

Just as Ye Feng finished looking through Wind Riding Flight's cultivation method, his martial soul reacted first and directly brought Wind Riding Flight to Entry Level.

In an instant, the Wind Riding Flight cultivation method he had just read seemed to have been imprinted in his mind, impossible to forget.

It was as if he had read through this cultivation manual thousands upon thousands of times.

He understood the method of operating Wind Riding Flight even more thoroughly.
