With godlike omniscience, Hun Han knew something about the flying Dou Skill before him.

According to the original storyline, this flying Dou Skill scroll, Lightning Bat Sky Wings, had been auctioned at the Black Seal Auction House. In the end, it had been won by the young master of the Blood Sect. That was still more than a decade away. Hun Han had never dreamed that he would encounter this flying Dou Skill here.

It was only a flying Dou Skill. Could it simply have shared the same name, or had its creator made two such scrolls?

That was indeed possible. However, times had changed, and the Dou Qi Continent was about to enter the Age of Ending. Most methods for creating flying Dou Skills had now been lost. Hun Han was certain that the scroll before him was the Lightning Bat Sky Wings that would be auctioned at the Black Seal Auction House more than a decade later.

"Not bad, my luck is really good. I actually came across such a treasure. Still, I need to find somewhere safe to cultivate this flying Dou Skill."

Hun Han swept his gaze around. This was the Black Region Great Plain. Aside from Black Bandits, there were also some unusual magical beasts living here. Moreover, the Black Bandits were extremely overbearing and acted in alliances. Their combined strength was not particularly terrifying, but there were many of them. The commotion here would likely draw the attention of other Black Bandits before long.

To be safe, Hun Han stored everything in his storage ring. Then he opened his map, picked a direction, mounted the Yellow Steed, and rode away in a cloud of dust.

"What happened here?"

"How did these corpses turn into dried husks?"

"Th-this is Yang Sailuo. Who killed them?"

Things unfolded just as Hun Han had expected. About half an hour after he left, a small group of Black Bandits discovered the place. However, the Black Corner Region had no need for mercy. After questioning and searching to no avail, the Black Bandits left the area.

Hun Han rode the Yellow Steed out of the Black Region Great Plain. After that, he gradually slowed down. Looking around, he abandoned the Yellow Steed and slipped into the forest.

Now that he was in the Black Corner Region, he had to be cautious beyond cautious.

"Water!"

As he moved through the forest, Hun Han carefully discerned the direction and dashed toward the sound of water.

Hun Han had already cultivated Netherworld Ghost Shadow to the minor success stage, making his movements exceptionally nimble. After passing through layers of thorny brush, his vision suddenly opened up. The thunderous roar of a waterfall drifted over from afar.

"Oh? Not bad, there's a cave there!"

The waterfall before him seemed to descend from the heavenly river, crashing down from the peak of the mountain from a height of a hundred zhang. The immense drop filled the base of the waterfall with mist, which refracted into a dazzling rainbow beneath the sunlight.

On both sides of the waterfall stood steep stone cliffs a hundred zhang high. On one of those cliffs was a naturally formed cave.

Seeing this, Hun Han moved lightly. After several leaps, he climbed into the cave sixty or seventy meters above the ground.

"Not bad. This is a fine place to cultivate!" Hun Han praised.

The cave was not large, only a little over a hundred square meters. Its entrance could accommodate three people walking side by side. Following Xiao Yan's example, Hun Han found several large rocks in the cave and used them to block the entrance. This would not only guard against people, but also ward off magical beasts. Furthermore, the cautious Hun Han took out the sulfur powder he had prepared long ago from his storage ring and scattered a circle around the entrance. This would even keep away magical beasts such as snakes and rats. When he opened his eyes later, he would not need to worry about annoying creatures like snakes and rats lurking nearby.

Only then did Hun Han take out a Moonlight Stone, followed by the scroll he had obtained.

By the soft glow of the Moonlight Stone, Hun Han began reading the contents of the silver scroll.

Soaring through the skies was everyone's dream. Hun Han, too, had a strong interest in flying. He was only a two-star Dou Zhe at present. If he possessed a flying Dou Skill, then he could fight when he could win and flee when he could not. That would undoubtedly greatly increase his chances of survival in the Black Corner Region.

As the silver scroll slowly unfurled, a pair of pitch-black Bat Wings that sent chills down one's spine appeared before Hun Han's eyes. The wings on the scroll were not large, like a painting, yet faint wisps of silver lightning drifted from them.

Just like the Purple Cloud Wings in the original storyline, the wings within the scroll possessed the texture of metal and stone. As a breeze stirred within the cave, the feathers on the Bat Wings actually fluttered gently as if they were real feathers.

"Mysterious Water Lightning Bat, a fifth-tier flying magical beast. A massive bat-type magical beast unique to Mysterious Water Lake. Its flight speed ranks among the best of all flying magical beasts."

"This Dou Skill scroll is called Bat Wings, also known as Lightning Bat Sky Wings. I ventured alone into Mysterious Water Lake, captured a Mysterious Water Lightning Bat King, used a secret technique to remove its wings, and finally employed numerous methods to create it. Since the Mysterious Water Lightning Bat possesses both water and lightning attributes, a Lightning Attribute Dou Zhe using it during a thunderstorm can push its flight speed to the limit."

One person had ventured alone into Mysterious Water Lake and even captured the Mysterious Water Lightning Bat King alive. Bat-type magical beasts preferred living in groups. To capture their king alive amidst ten thousand bats showed that this creator had to be a ruthless figure!

Since it had come from the hands of such a ruthless figure, it was surely no ordinary item.

Hun Han's gaze moved away from the small text. He stretched out his palm and gently touched the silver Bat Wings. At once, waves of numbness spread through his hand.

"It feels incredibly real. And there's a soul within these Bat Wings as well."

Hun Han's perception easily sensed a violent soul hidden within the scroll.

"It seems that if I want to obtain this flying Dou Skill, I'll first need to withstand its test!" Hun Han thought. With godlike omniscience, even without an old grandfather like Yao Lao, Hun Han knew how to learn this flying Dou Skill.

To learn this flying Dou Skill, his soul had to withstand that soul's attack. If he could not endure it, then it meant that he was fated to miss out on this Dou Skill.

This was likely the main reason why someone in the Black Corner Region had obtained Lightning Bat Sky Wings, yet it still appeared at the Black Seal Auction House ten years later. Those who obtained this flying Dou Skill had all been unable to withstand that soul's attack.

Hun Han took a deep breath. Xiao Yan had been able to subdue the Purple Cloud Wings. As a fellow transmigrator, there was no reason his luck should be this bad!

Hun Han placed both palms on the scroll, then slowly closed his eyes.

A sharp screech passed through the scroll, traveled up Hun Han's palms, and finally pierced straight into his mind.

"Hmm?"

Hun Han's entire body jolted. He steadied his mind and allowed it to attack.

No matter how the other party screeched, Hun Han's mind remained as clear and still as ice, utterly unmoved. The situation continued for more than ten minutes before ending with the Mysterious Water Lightning Bat's defeat. The shrieking in his mind vanished.

"Is that all?"

A faint curve lifted at Hun Han's lips. Such a test was not difficult at all.

If you can't find it by searching the title, try searching the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!
