Jiang Yan returned home.
Old Wang, usually in the throes of adolescence, did not argue with him this time. Knowing he was going to the Divine Capital, he sat by the bed all night, chattering away without pause.
Having a Space Ring was convenient, though it was a pity it only held one cubic meter and could not fit much.
Fierce Beasts lurked around the outskirts of the city. To travel long distances, one had to go to the provincial capital and take a Passenger Airship.
Passenger Airships were expensive, equipped with special sonar to drive away birds, and incredibly fast. They could cross the entirety of Blue Star in two or three hours.
Jiang Yan had originally planned to take an airship from the provincial capital, but after thinking it over, he decided against it.
With the Wind Rider Trait paired with Nine Consecutive Steps, Jiang Yan already possessed the ability to fly that only a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist should have.
"Flying there myself can train my physique too. No need to make things so troublesome."
Jiang Yan made his decision at once.
He carried only the Engraved Blade on him and stuffed all the other necessities into the Space Ring.
He took a single step forward.
Jiang Yan's entire body plunged straight into the clouds.
Going to university registration by "running"—Jiang Yan was probably the only one in existence.
Jiang Yan streaked through the sky, the howling of torn air ringing beside his ears. Everything on either side rapidly fell behind, blurring into shadow after shadow.
"Your physique has slightly improved while you are running at full speed."
"Your physique has slightly improved while you are running at full speed."
A meteor streaked across the horizon, tearing through the crowded clouds as it fled into the distance.
