White the Veteran Driver
"Sixteen? How long have I been asleep?" Song Shuhang sat up in bed and asked.
When he sat up, he found that his bulging muscles had eased considerably. His muscles had shrunk by a whole size, becoming more toned, and even his physique had become stronger.
Could it be because of reciting the "Sage's Self-Cultivation Ode" that he was absorbing the 'Dragon Demon Potion' more quickly? Song Shuhang wondered to himself.
"You're awake?" Su Clan’s Sixteen turned her head and replied, "You've been asleep for almost an hour."
"So long?" Song Shuhang smiled sheepishly, then asked, "Where did Senior Fairy Lychee and Senior White go?"
"Fairy Lychee went to [White Cloud City] to buy clothes, and Senior White..." Su Clan’s Sixteen's lips curled up as she said, "Senior White downloaded a mobile app about forty minutes ago, and then he happily went out."
"He went out cheerfully? What mobile app did Senior White download?" Song Shuhang's intuition told him that this app... was suspicious!
"It seems to be an app for 'Flying-Sword Taxi App.' Once downloaded, you can easily ride a flying sword whenever you go out; you can also register an account in this app to become a driver and ride the sword to earn Spirit Stone. It is said that this is a function that White Cloud City has been testing for a long time," Su Clan’s Sixteen replied.
Song Shuhang: "Flying-Sword Taxi App? White Cloud Academy is really keeping up with the times."
Given Senior White's personality, once he finds such a fun mobile app, he'll definitely go out and become a flying sword taxi driver, taking people to show off and fly away.
Hopefully nothing bad will happen... Based on Song Shuhang's past experience, when Venerable White gets carried away, his speed becomes uncontrollable. Hopefully, he won't be leading his guests on a flying sword race through [White Cloud City].
After getting out of bed, Song Shuhang looked at Su Clan’s Sixteen and asked, "Sixteen, why are you wearing glasses?"
Is Sixteen nearsighted? But then again, the image of Su Clan’s Sixteen with her small face wearing big black-rimmed glasses while reading is quite adorable.
"This is the cutting-edge technology of [White Cloud City]. Once you put it on, you can browse all the shops listed in this book from the comfort of your home," said Su Clan’s Sixteen, holding up the thick book in her hand.
The book in her hand was a shopping guide introducing various shops in 'White Cloud City'. There were no words or pictures in the book, only spell arrays.
Through the glasses on Su Clan’s Sixteen's face, these magical arrays can be activated, allowing the user's 'gaze' to enter the store recorded in the book as if 'being there', and view the goods that interest them.
Absolutely cutting-edge technology.
After coming into contact with 'White Cloud City', Song Shuhang's definitions of the terms 'Cultivation World' and 'gathering place of cultivators' were completely shattered and rebuilt.
It can only be said that this is indeed a prosperous city of the Confucian Sect, having perfectly combined cultivation and technology, integrating them into every detail of life.
"Are you alright now? You suddenly fell asleep earlier. Senior White examined you and said your body was fine, and your consciousness was establishing a connection with the Thirteen-Tribulation Immortal Statue of the Confucian School. Senior White guessed you might have some extraordinary encounter, so he didn't wake you up." Su Clan’s Sixteen took off her glasses, closed the thick book, and said.
"I'm in good health now, there's no problem," Song Shuhang. No wonder Senior White in reality didn't wake him up after his consciousness was taken to that 'Infinite Retake Exam' space. It turned out that he saw the connection between him and the 'Thirteen-Tribulation Immortal Statue' and mistakenly thought that he had a fortuitous encounter.
"It wasn't exactly a lucky encounter; I just got caught up in the 'test' activity for the Confucian Sect disciples," Song Shuhang complained.
Then, he told Su Clan’s Sixteen about how he got involved in the 'Infinite Retake Exam' space—but he still couldn't reveal anything about [Senior White Two] to anyone else. He couldn't bring himself to speak if the events he recounted involved [Senior White Two].
He had to skip this part.
After listening, Su Clan’s Sixteen laughed and said, "Infinite Make-Up Exam Space? That's quite interesting. Moreover, Shuhang, you also obtained the <Sage's Self-Cultivation Ode> from it, which can be considered a fortuitous encounter."
"I'd rather not have such a fortuitous encounter," Song Shuhang grinned.
Moreover, the "Sage's Self-Cultivation Ode" is not some secret or mysterious skill; it's similar to the common "Flame Blade," something that every Confucian Sect disciple knows.
He paid the price of retaking the "Sage's Self-Cultivation Ode" five or six times in a row to learn it... and if it weren't for [Senior White Two] breaking through the void and entering the space, he doesn't know how many more rounds of retaking the exam would have been before he could get out of that space?
You might have to Reincarnation the exam thousands or even tens of thousands of times!
The cost is too high.
Su Clan’s Sixteen laughed heartily, then stood up, putting her glasses and thick books aside. "Shuhang, there's still some time before filming this afternoon, do you want to go out for a stroll with me?"
She had just been looking at the shopping guide in that thick book and had her eye on several items; she wanted to buy them all.
"Okay," Song Shuhang replied.
A moment later.
Song Shuhang accompanied Su Clan’s Sixteen as they left the 'inn' where they were resting.
As they stepped out of the gate, they saw many monks near the inn, all looking up at the sky.
[Looking up at the sky? This is bad!] Song Shuhang had a bad feeling. He and Su Clan’s Sixteen both looked up at the sky.
Then, the two saw a flying sword rapidly darting through the sky. Controlling the flying sword was a long-haired immortal with an otherworldly aura. At this moment, he was performing a sword escape Sword Formula, his hands forming Sword Escape incantation. The sword light transformed into a lifelike Flood Dragon, agile and swift.
Riding the flying sword were a brother and sister from the Confucian Sect, with cultivation levels of the Third-Grade and Second-Grade respectively. The brother had a square face, while the sister had an adorable chubby face.
At this moment, both the square-faced and round-faced men were pale, their lips were blue, and their legs were trembling.
It was simply because the speed of the Flood Dragon Sword Light was brutally fast.
In the skies above [White Cloud City], numerous cultivators flew on swords, knives, and various magical artifacts, all limiting their speed to within 100 yards and slowing down to avoid accidents.
This Flood Dragon Sword-Escape was already several times faster than the speed of sound, like teleportation, flashing by with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh," seizing every opportunity to overtake cultivators flying in the same direction... The Flying Sword skill was already at its maximum level.
The speed was too fast, causing the two passengers' hearts to flutter.
In the blink of an eye, the Flood Dragon Sword-Escape had vanished, its whereabouts unknown.
Song Shuhang: "..."
Su Clan’s Sixteen: "..."
"That was Senior White just now, wasn't it?" Song Shuhang.
Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded – it was indeed Senior White.
Song Shuhang covered his forehead with his hand. "As expected, I knew something bad would happen."
How could White the Veteran Driver's career be complete without some high-speed driving?
All Song Shuhang could do now was pray silently... hoping that Senior White wouldn't lose control of his flying sword due to its high speed and accidentally turn the surrounding fellow cultivators into candied hawthorns.
"Let's go, let's stroll around the streets." Song Shuhang sighed.
Su Clan’s Sixteen smiled gently.
But just then, the sword light in the sky flew back again with a whoosh... The next moment, Venerable White landed straight next to Song Shuhang.
"Hey, Shuhang, you're awake." Senior White reached out and waved to Song Shuhang.
"I just woke up. Senior White, you were speeding just now. When we entered [White Cloud City], didn't the administrator tell us that the speed limit for flying in White Cloud City is 100 yards or less, to avoid accidents?" Song Shuhang.
"I knew you'd nag about this, Shuhang," Venerable White said with a hearty laugh. "Don't worry, I checked again later. The fine for speeding is one Third-Grade Spirit Stone per offense. I can easily pull out a Spirit Stone and have enough for thousands of fines. Don't worry about me!"
Song Shuhang: "..."
This is the biggest mistake of 'White Cloud Academy'! A single fine is only one Third-Grade Spirit Stone. Venerable White casually pulls out a Sixth-Grade or higher Spirit Stone. One Sixth-Grade Spirit Stone is enough for Senior White to issue fines thousands of times, so of course he's having a good time.
"I won't chat with you any longer, I've seen my guests." After saying this, Venerable White leaped down and landed beside the five young Confucian scholars.
"Was it you who advertised 'Flying-Sword Taxi App' on the 'Whoosh-Whoosh Flying-Sword App' app just now? I'll take your order!" Venerable White said generously.
The five young scholars turned pale.
Then, they bowed to Venerable White, intending to politely decline his Senior White — Confucian School places great emphasis on etiquette. No matter how afraid they were, they couldn't be disrespectful in front of this senior.
However, before they could speak, Venerable White reached out and swept his sleeve, pulling the five young scholars onto the sword light.
Immediately afterwards, the Venerable made a hand seal, and the sword light transformed into a golden roc, soaring into the sky.
The sword light was incredibly fast; with a 'whoosh,' it soared into the sky, its brilliance chilling across nineteen provinces.
Then, just like before, the sword light kept finding its way through the gaps, as if teleporting, surpassing one sword-wielding cultivator after another traveling in the same direction.
After a few swift movements, the sword light disappeared from people's sight.
Only the long, drawn-out screams of the five young Confucian scholars remained...
Five screams rose and fell in succession. As expected of cultivators who had practiced, their breaths were long and deep, and their screams remained loud and persistent for a long time.
Su Clan’s Sixteen: "..."
Song Shuhang sighed softly, "After today, I wonder how many cultivators with Height Phobia will appear in 'White Cloud City'?"
Perhaps, once he invents a flying sword with guardrails, it will be a bestseller in White Cloud City?
Should we seize this business opportunity and invest in a "flying sword guardrail installation" business in White Cloud City?
Or a 'detachable Flying-Sword Guardrail's would be good too. Customers could customize the Flying-Sword Guardrail according to the size of their flying swords, and maybe that would make the business thrive?
