Wind Riding Flight

Ye Feng casually waved his hand twice and vaguely sensed changes in the airflow around him.

"Good stuff!"

He could detect even such faint fluctuations in the air. If his Wind Riding Flight reached a higher level in the future, wouldn't it become a form of perception?

After all, Wind Riding Flight focused on controlling airflow, and the first step of cultivation was sensing it.

Whether it was people or objects, any movement would cause changes in the airflow. For someone cultivating Wind Riding Flight, no change in the air currents could escape his notice.

Ye Feng gently placed the Wind Riding Flight manual back on the shelf and stepped out of the library tower.

He wanted to test the actual effects of Wind Riding Flight.

After leaving the tower, Ye Feng willed it into action and activated Martial Soul Possession. His silver-white wings spread open, and he instantly soared into the air.

"Flying feels easier now, and it uses less Soul Power too."

After circling through the air, Ye Feng carefully sensed the effects of Wind Riding Flight.

As his wings flapped, every change in the airflow around him entered his perception. Under the control of his Soul Power, those air currents were like docile fish. Not only did they not hinder his flight, they actually pushed him forward.

"Ding! Your Wind Riding Flight has grasped the changes in airflow. You have gained some insight, and your proficiency has increased."

The crisp System Prompt made Ye Feng smile in satisfaction.

He decided that whenever he had free time, he would fly around in the sky. Perhaps that would allow his Wind Riding Flight to improve faster.

"Brother Ye Feng! Brother Ye Feng!"

Just then, Ning Rongrong's voice called out from below.

Looking down, he saw Ning Rongrong hopping up and down as she waved at him.

"Rongrong, what is it?" Ye Feng descended in front of Ning Rongrong and canceled Martial Soul Possession.

"Dad said the Defense Clan and the Breaking Clan have arrived, and he wants you to go over!" Ning Rongrong stepped forward and hugged Ye Feng's arm as she spoke obediently.

"Then let's hurry over. We shouldn't keep them waiting." Ye Feng rubbed Ning Rongrong's head and smiled.

Over the past two days, Bai He had been busy preparing his ancestral recognition ceremony. All that remained was for the Defense Clan and the Breaking Clan to serve as witnesses.

Now that the two clans had arrived, Bai He was probably too impatient to wait any longer to have him acknowledge his ancestry.

When Ye Feng arrived at the guest room, he found that there were two unfamiliar old men inside.

One of them was even more burly than Titan. Sitting upright in his chair, he resembled an unyielding fortress.

The other was exceptionally tall and thin, with a build somewhat similar to Bai He's, though he stood half a head taller. His eyes were especially gloomy, giving off a chilling aura.

These two were Niu Gao of the Defense Clan and Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan.

"Ye Feng, come here. Let me introduce you. This is Grandpa Niu of the Defense Clan, and the other is Grandpa Yang of the Breaking Clan. They are both Great Grandfather's old companions." Seeing Ye Feng, Bai He pointed at Niu Gao and Yang Wudi as he introduced them.

"Greetings, Grandpa Niu. Greetings, Grandpa Yang." Ye Feng politely bowed to them, while inwardly grumbling that he had somehow become part of the grandchildren's generation.

"Haha, no need for such formalities. Old White Bird, you really picked up a genius!" Niu Gao waved his hand, then turned to tease Bai He.

"Hmph, what do you mean, picked up a genius? Ye Feng was originally from the Speed Clan. He carries the bloodline of the Speed Clan." Bai He glared at Niu Gao irritably.

Thinking about it made him angry. Ye Feng was clearly a genius of the Speed Clan, yet the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had gotten to him first. Every time Bai He thought of that, he became furious.

"Hehe, since everyone is here, let's hold Ye Feng's ancestral recognition ceremony. Can't you see Old White Bird can't wait any longer?" Titan said, patting Niu Gao on the shoulder.

"Hmph, I was waiting for you people. Otherwise, this would have been done long ago." Bai He made no effort to hide his impatience. The emergence of a genius in the clan had made him so happy over the past few days that he could hardly wait to add Ye Feng's name to the family register.

Having Ye Feng join the Speed Clan's family register was also a decision Bai He and Ning Fengzhi had reached after discussing it.

After all, Ye Feng's father had been an orphan adopted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so he had no relatives to begin with.

The only people who could be considered family were the Speed Clan.

Naturally, Ning Fengzhi was more than happy to see such a good thing happen. With Ye Feng as a link between them, perhaps the Speed Clan might one day join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After spending the past few days together, Ning Fengzhi had also built a considerable friendship with the Speed Clan. Once the time was right, he could extend an invitation to Bai He.

Bai He was a proud man. Due to his conflict with Spirit Hall, he had strictly forbidden his clansmen from registering with Spirit Hall as Spirit Masters. Naturally, they also did not receive Spirit Hall's soul coin subsidies for Spirit Masters.

Furthermore, they had no worthwhile industry to support themselves, so their lives were extremely difficult. Ning Fengzhi believed that with Ye Feng's connection, winning over the Speed Clan would not be difficult.

Very soon, under Bai He's arrangements, the other three clans served as witnesses for Ye Feng's ancestral recognition ceremony.

At the ancestral grounds of the Speed Clan, Bai He watched solemnly as Ye Feng knelt before his younger brother's grave.

Behind them stood a large crowd of Speed Clan members.

"Today, the Speed Clan has been fortunate enough to recover a bloodline that had been lost outside. With all of you as witnesses, I hereby announce that Ye Feng will be added to the branch of my second brother, Bai Ying."

"From this day onward, Ye Feng shall be entered into the Speed Clan family register..."

Ye Feng respectfully kowtowed nine times to his nominal maternal grandfather. From that moment on, he had become a member of the Speed Clan as well.

Over the following days, Ye Feng gained many nominal elders, as well as plenty of older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters.

The Speed Clan had more than two hundred direct descendants. Including family members and the like, their numbers exceeded five hundred.

After several days, Ye Feng still had not managed to recognize everyone in the Speed Clan. In the end, finding it too troublesome, he simply hid in the library tower to read.

Fortunately, the gathering of the Four Great Clans did not last long. Everyone sat together, chatted, shared intelligence, talked some more, and strengthened their relationships. Before long, the gathering was more or less over.

Ning Fengzhi took the opportunity to join them. As the head of a sect, he was knowledgeable and well-traveled. Coupled with his warm, refined manner and broad-minded eloquence, he left the Four Great Clans with a very favorable impression of him.

The Defense Clan and the Breaking Clan in particular had already begun establishing preliminary trade intentions with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Defense Clan excelled at construction, while the Breaking Clan specialized in medicine. Ning Fengzhi was exceptionally wealthy; not only did he have a demand for the Breaking Clan's medicines, but he also hired the Defense Clan's construction teams, hoping to establish a long-term partnership.

After the exchange meeting ended, Ning Fengzhi took Ye Feng and set out on the journey back.

Naturally, the Strength Clan traveled with them as well.

After more than a month on the road, Ye Feng returned once again to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The round trip had taken nearly three months. During those three months, Ning Rongrong had also risen by two levels, advancing from level eleven to level thirteen.

Ye Feng's gains were even greater. He was now level sixteen, not far from level seventeen.
