The Champion of the Sword-Flight Competition Who Loved Racing Flying Swords!
Airplanes and flying swords are different.
Flying swords are convenient and quick. All you need is a flying sword, the Sword Formula, and an Escape Light from it. Then step on it and fly however you like!
It doesn't matter whether it flies horizontally, vertically, upside down, or backwards. Moreover, whether it's windy, rainy, lightning-fast, or snowing heavily outside, it won't affect the flying sword's flight.
But airplanes are different...
Airplanes are greatly affected by various external factors. In addition to these external factors, the rules set by humans themselves also restrict the freedom of airplanes to fly.
Song Shuhang and Senior White sat in the classroom, listening to the instructor explain some basic knowledge about airplane flight.
This includes calculations of takeoff and landing data, loading and trim calculations, acquisition and analysis of basic weather information, as well as aviation flight regulations; airspace analysis related to flight training areas and training airports; and various airport indicator lights...
And many other fundamental knowledge areas.
The instructors condensed and summarized the material that would take ordinary people several days to learn, explaining it to Song Shuhang and Senior White as quickly as possible.
More than an hour later.
After finishing his explanation, the teacher took a sip of water and said, "That's roughly the theoretical knowledge."
To be honest, after explaining so much content in just over an hour, he himself was feeling a bit dizzy and overwhelmed. He didn't believe at all that Song Shuhang and Venerable White could grasp these basic concepts.
Well... it's just a formality anyway. These two already have their pilot's licenses.
"Hmm, it sounds simple, but there are too many restrictions and rules." Senior White put away the books of theoretical knowledge in his hand and nodded.
"There's no other way to restrict them. There are so many planes in the air, and if they're not managed, accidents will happen. And once an accident happens, it's basically a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. But the theoretical knowledge is still very simple; you can just memorize the flight regulations and the like," Song Shuhang replied with a smile.
"That makes sense," Venerable White nodded.
During class, the teacher overheard Shuhang and Venerable White's conversation, took a sip of tea, and sneered: Damn it, these two are still putting on airs!
The lecture, which lasted for over an hour, had left even the lecturer feeling dizzy and overwhelmed; it's no wonder these two guys couldn't understand it!
After that, the process was simplified. After all, Song Shuhang and Venerable White were not there to get their driver's licenses, but to learn how to fly a plane for a spin. Therefore, all the cumbersome procedures were waived.
Under Catherine's arrangement, Song Shuhang and Senior White, under the one-on-one guidance of flight instructors, first mastered some basic instrument operation, flight charts, and radar recognition and use in the simulator training cabin.
Next, Song Shuhang and Senior White, led by a brave and fearless flight instructor who was willing to take a big reward, climbed onto the flight school's helicopter.
Song Shuhang first, Senior White sat in the back seat watching and learning.
During takeoff, Song Shuhang was still very nervous. An airplane is not like a car; if there is an accident, it will be all over!
The flight instructor sat to the side giving instructions. Initially, there wasn't much to say; as long as they didn't exceed the altitude limit of one thousand meters, everything else was fine. Actually, not only was Song Shuhang nervous, but the flight instructor was even more so. He knew these two guys were the type who had too much money to burn. They'd only just started learning to fly, and they were already asking him to take to the skies. If he didn't desperately need some money, who would be willing to risk their life with these two?
However, after the plane took off, the flight instructor was somewhat surprised—although Song Shuhang looked stiff and was clearly a novice who was handling a helicopter for the first time, he managed to complete the entire operation without any mistakes, proceeding smoothly despite his nervousness.
After piloting the plane in a circle in the air, the flight instructor couldn't find any fault with Song Shuhang's operation.
"This guy probably already knows how to fly a plane and is just messing with me, right?" The flight instructor glanced at Song Shuhang furtively... "Like a race car driver taking regular C-level pilot training?"
That's true. No matter how rich someone is or how much they like playing with fire, they wouldn't risk their life.
Perhaps this young man named Shuhang and that man named Song Bai have both flown other types of aircraft, and they came here to learn more about how to fly private planes?
Thinking about it this way, the flight instructor felt much more at ease. If that were really the case, then he and Old Liu would have come out ahead!
Old Liu was another flight instructor who was "not afraid of death when offered a generous reward".
After circling in the air for a while, the instructor gave Song Shuhang the command to land.
Song Shuhang carefully maneuvered the helicopter towards the airport—although compared to flying on a flying sword, helicopters were inconvenient in many ways, they offered a great sense of security!
Song Shuhang found himself really enjoying this feeling... It's awesome!
After the helicopter landed smoothly, the flight instructor jumped out and jogged to another "fearless" flight instructor, saying, "Old Liu, I've finished this round. In a bit, I'll take another instructor for a round, and then the two students can go to your place to try out the business jet again. Are you ready?"
As he spoke, he quietly approached Old Liu and said, "Old Liu, let me tell you, these two trainees might have experience operating other models before. They're not really newbies; they're very skilled at it. We really hit the jackpot this time!"
"Oh, oh..." Old Liu responded blankly twice, seemingly lost in thought.
"Old Liu, what's wrong with you?" the helicopter flight instructor asked, puzzled.
"Oh? Little Li, it's alright, I'm fine." Old Liu came to his senses and said with tears streaming down his face.
He was the instructor who had previously provided one-on-one guidance to Venerable White in the virtual pod. However, he had spent too much time alone with Venerable White and was influenced by him, causing him to doubt his own worldview.
"Old Liu, stop daydreaming, it's dangerous! I'm going to take another student for a spin, you get yourself ready." Little Li advised Old Liu a few times, then turned around, preparing to take Venerable White for another flight in the sky.
Then, when Instructor Little Li turned around and went back to the helicopter, he suddenly saw the student named Song Shuhang putting on the thick and bulky spacesuit!
Holy crap, what are they trying to do?
I'm teaching about helicopters, not space shuttles. They can't go into space, so what's the point of putting a spacesuit on yourself?
And it's so hot outside... Is this student out of their mind? Or out of their mind? Or out of their mind?
Song Shuhang sensed Instructor Little Li's gaze and chuckled dryly, "Well, hahaha, instructors, you don't need to mind me. I just really want to experience being an astronaut, I can't resist it, just ignore me."
However, when Instructor Little Li saw Song Shuhang's gear, he always felt a lump in his throat and a sense of unease.
On the other side, Venerable White stared curiously at Song Shuhang's spacesuit, looking interested with an expression that seemed to say, "I'd love to try it on too."
"Aircraft inspection complete, no problems, ready for takeoff," the member in charge of takeoff inspection announced.
Senior White couldn't wait to climb into the helicopter.
Despite his bulky clothes, Song Shuhang still managed to slip into the back of the plane with ease. His enormous size quickly filled the entire back row.
"Hahaha." Song Shuhang chuckled awkwardly. Luckily, he had the Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl, otherwise it would have been unbearably hot.
"..." Instructor Little Li stared at Song Shuhang for a long time again. After climbing onto the plane, his heart began to pound with anxiety again. "Take off. Just follow the same procedure as student Song Shuhang did before. Be careful not to exceed one thousand meters in altitude."
"No problem," said Venerable White.
Compared to Shuhang, Venerable White was much more composed—although he had never flown a plane before, Venerable White had been soaring through the skies for countless years and was very skilled at it.
Therefore, when Venerable White was piloting the helicopter, he didn't seem like a novice at all; he was more like a seasoned veteran who had been flying for decades, displaying remarkable skill.
After glancing at Venerable White, Instructor Little Li felt reassured—haha, this trip was truly a steal! He'd bet ten dollars that this 'Song Bai' was definitely a seasoned pilot, not a novice!
The flight school spent a lot of money to have him and Lao Li take care of the newlyweds and even bought them high-value insurance. He originally thought he would have to risk his life to complete the mission, but he didn't expect it to be a hundred times easier than instructing ordinary students.
If all such missions are called 'dangerous missions,' then let the 'dangerous missions' come even more fiercely; he would be more than willing to accept it.
Well... of course, there was also something that made Instructor Little Li uneasy, namely that big lump behind him— Song Shuhang, who was completely wrapped in a spacesuit.
Something looks wrong no matter how you look at it.
*********************
The Cultivator World has always been hidden from the real world, but cultivators have not been isolated from the world; they have always kept up with the times.
Ordinary humans have large-scale sporting events such as the Olympics and the Asian Games, and the Cultivator World also has its own competitions.
For example, there is Flying Sword Race held randomly around the world every ten years in the Cultivator World, which is very famous among cultivators.
As the name suggests, the flying sword competition is all about speed and skill! There will be various traps, obstacles, and formations to hinder the competition, and the fastest one to reach the finish line wins.
The competition is divided into three levels based on the cultivator's level: the Fourth-Grade "Sword-Flight Competition", the Fifth-Grade "Flying Sword Race", and the Sixth-Grade "Sword-Escape Competition".
As for cultivators above the Seventh-Grade Spirit Venerable... they are all powerful figures in their own right. Not only are they few in number, but they also spend hundreds of years in seclusion, making it impossible for them to participate in this Flying Sword Race.
Yang Yuxiang, the "Gale Sword" of the Falling Moon Sword Sect, is quite well-known in the Cultivator World.
He is a Fourth-Grade 4 Sword-Flight Competition! In terms of speed alone, his flying sword speed has far surpassed that of many ordinary Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor!
Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, has dominated the 'Sword-Flight Competition' for three consecutive years. His goal is to win the 4th Rank Sword Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor Sword-Flight Competition before advancing to the Fourth-Grade Rank Spirit Emperor, thus achieving a four-peat!
To achieve this goal, he has recently been practicing Sword-Escape Technique diligently.
Three days ago, Yang Yuxiang, known as "Gale Sword," flew all the way from eastern China to the far west, and then returned along the same route. Along the way, he kept looking for various airports and air force bases.
As for why he would seek out places like airports and air force bases, it's because Yang Yuxiang, the "Gale Sword," has a great hobby in his life—flying swords.
He also enjoys racing against various types of aircraft.
The psychological thrill of taking Ascension alongside an airplane and then overtaking it in one go is what he loves most.
Since ordinary people can't see him anyway, he's having a lot of fun speeding around.
Today, he found another flight base.
"Jiangshui Civil Aviation Training Center? Oh, so it's not an air force base. If you're a trainee, you must fly very slowly... Oh well, even a mosquito is still meat. I didn't see a single plane on this stretch of road." Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, sighed inwardly.
He waited for ages above the airport, and finally... a helicopter slowly took off.
"Finally here?" Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, laughed. It was a pity that it was a small, privately owned helicopter, which couldn't be very fast. It could only be used to have some fun.
Once the helicopter took off and completed its initial acceleration, Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, flew to the side of the helicopter with a 'whoosh', initially maintaining a parallel flight with it.
This is one of his habits: first, he flies alongside the plane for a while, and then, in one go, he leaves the plane far behind, to the point that it can't even be seen anymore.
The pleasure was indescribable.
*********************
"Huh?" Song Shuhang, who was sitting in the back seat of the helicopter, turned his head to look out the window and suddenly saw a figure.
A figure in the air?
Could we have encountered a cultivator who Sword Flight?
Shuhang has now opened his Eye Aperture, so he can see many things that ordinary people cannot see—such as ghosts, monsters, and cultivators Sword Flight.
However, these things are rarely seen in the city. Apart from Doudou at home, Song Shuhang has never seen a second monster.
It's rare to see cultivators Sword Flight... Under normal circumstances, cultivators fly at such high altitudes that they cannot be seen with the naked eye.
It's rare to see someone today who Sword Flight flying alongside an airplane.
As Song Shuhang was pondering this, suddenly, the cultivator flying alongside the helicopter made a face at the people inside the helicopter...
Then, the senior cultivator assumed a 'ready to run' stance on his Sword Escape, bending over with his buttocks sticking up high. He rhythmically called out, "Ready~~ One, two... three!"
The moment the word "three" left his lips, the sword light shot forward with a "whoosh," its speed as fast as lightning!
The sound of the word 'three' still seemed to echo in Song Shuhang's ears, but the cultivator Sword Flight could only see a black dot the size of a fingernail.
"What's this?" Song Shuhang was completely bewildered.
"Heh heh, this is a provocation!" Venerable White chuckled, his gaze sharpening.
"Provocation? Wait a minute!" Song Shuhang felt uneasy and immediately said, "Senior, could it be that you've misunderstood? Perhaps they're just passing by?"
Instructor Little Li, standing nearby, was completely bewildered. What was the meaning of their conversation? He understood each word individually, but not the whole thing.
