Blade Flight!

When Yang Yu went out to train, Grandpa Yang did not say much, only reminding him once again to be careful.

During these days of learning fist techniques with Yang Yu, Grandpa Yang had also learned that Yang Yu's Martial Way Realm was not low and that his Physical Fitness was excellent.

Even so, he could not help worrying.

Only after repeatedly assuring his grandfather that he would be safe and telling him not to worry did Yang Yu finally leave.

It was the height of summer.

As one of the country's major first-tier coastal cities, Jiangnan City was always at its hottest during this time of year.

In the past, people who had finished dinner and come outside to enjoy the evening cool could be seen everywhere, but now there were not many to be found.

Perhaps no one said it aloud, but everyone knew that it was dangerous outside now.

Yang Yu, however, did not care.

The Physical Fitness of an Intermediate War General, Master Level Blade Technique and Fist Technique, and the Spiritual Force he kept hidden.

Even several decades later, Yang Yu would have been considered one of the Experts—an expert capable of traveling the Wilderness Area alone!

Not to mention this still relatively peaceful metropolis.

This time, Yang Yu's destination was no longer Nanshan, but the more distant Yanshan!

Yanshan was more than three hundred kilometers from Jiangnan City. Before his Spiritual Force awakened, Yang Yu would never have chosen somewhere so far away for training.

Now that his Spiritual Force had awakened, after a full day of practice, the highly perceptive Yang Yu had already basically mastered his greatly increased physical strength and formidable Spiritual Force.

What had once seemed like a great distance could now be crossed in half an hour if Yang Yu used the cover of night to fly low on his blade, even without reaching his Extreme Speed.

Following the road, Yang Yu now looked like an ancient bladesman.

A long Blade Case was strapped to his back.

However, after Yang Yu's simple modifications, it looked less like a Blade Case and more like a long guitar case.

Thus, although the occasional passerby found it strange, no one looked into it too closely.

There were plenty of people far stranger than that these days.

People had seen too much to be surprised by anything anymore.

And so.

Yang Yu walked from dusk until night fell.

When darkness completely enveloped the earth.

Yang Yu drew his blade!

"The shield still isn't finished. I'll first see what Blade Flight feels like!"

Back when he read novels in his previous life, Yang Yu had always envied those immortals who could fly on swords.

If he could not fly on a sword now, then he would fly on a blade!

Under the cover of night.

Yang Yu stepped onto his War Blade and flew at Extreme Speed close to the ground.

Although the night sky was dark, Yang Yu's current Physical Fitness had long allowed him to see in Black Night.

Racing all the way, once he left the city's populated area, Yang Yu suddenly accelerated. After raising his speed to nearly the Speed of Sound, he maintained that pace and flew toward Yanshan.

At an altitude of more than ten meters, feeling the fierce wind rushing against his face, Yang Yu had never felt so free.

"This is the scent of freedom!"

As he entered the uninhabited region, Yang Yu moved his mind, and his War Blade abruptly rose, bringing him to an altitude of one thousand meters.

Quietly looking down at the brightly lit metropolis in the distance, Yang Yu's feelings were complicated.

Before long, such a peaceful and prosperous night view would likely be difficult to see again.

The next time he saw it, perhaps it would be in the era of Base Cities after the Grand Nirvana ended.

After a moment of reflection, Yang Yu continued driving his Spiritual Force and flew toward Yanshan.

More than ten minutes later.

Like a giant eagle, Yang Yu descended onto a mountaintop in Yanshan.

It was a massive boulder several meters wide. Though it had become pitted from years of wind, sun, rain, and snow, its surface was still fairly level.

However, sheer cliffs thousands of meters high surrounded it on all sides, so no one had ever come here.

Using the faint moonlight to survey the surroundings, Yang Yu began practicing his Blade Technique freely after confirming that there were no suspicious creatures nearby.

Holding his War Blade, Yang Yu first performed the Five Elements Thunder Blade once, then the Five Element Fist, the Twelve Form Fist, and the Soaring Dragon Footwork.

After going through every move once, his warm-up was complete.

Yang Yu took out his Flying Daggers again.

Spiritual Force clung to them, and the Flying Daggers instantly turned into phantoms that danced in every direction.

Yang Yu stepped onto his War Blade and rose into the sky with the dancing Flying Daggers.

Looking at the jagged mountaintop ahead, Yang Yu narrowed his eyes.

In an instant, the Nine Flying Daggers blasted toward the peak.

"Bang!!!"

The steep peak formed from massive boulders several meters wide was incomparably fragile before the Nine Flying Daggers under Yang Yu's Full Strength control.

After only several rounds of bombardment, Yang Yu completely sheared off the mountaintop.

But Yang Yu was not satisfied yet. He flew on his blade to another mountaintop and continued controlling the Flying Daggers to bombard it with Full Strength.

Only after this mountaintop was blasted completely into powder did Yang Yu choose another peak to attack.

Yang Yu did this not only to practice controlling the Flying Daggers and gauge their precise destructive power, but also because he wanted to test how much Spiritual Force was consumed when controlling them to attack at Full Strength.

Although the Purple Sphere in his Consciousness Sea released mist-like Spiritual Force at every moment, its rate of release was not fast.

If the rate of consumption greatly exceeded the rate of recovery, then it was entirely possible for his Spiritual Force to be exhausted during an intense, prolonged battle.

Cautious as Yang Yu was, he naturally would not wait until he actually encountered such a situation before figuring out a solution.

Only by mastering this data could he know what to expect in the brutal battles to come.

If he discovered in the middle of a fight that his Spiritual Force was gone, that would be quite the joke.

Yang Yu naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.

Two and a half hours later.

After a series of detailed tests.

Yang Yu finally gained a comprehensive understanding of his current Junior War God-level Spiritual Force.

First.

When unleashing Spiritual Force attacks at Full Strength, the Spiritual Force in his mind could maintain maximum-frequency output for Two Hours.

Beyond Two Hours, the Spiritual Force he had normally stored faced the risk of being depleted.

Second, the impact force of Spiritual Force was indeed two levels stronger than the destructive power of Yang Yu controlling his War Blade to slash with Full Strength!

Then, after Spiritual Force was completely exhausted, he could meditate and use the Guide Technique to fully restore it within half an hour.

He had also basically tested the remaining data, such as controlling the Flying Daggers' changes in direction, their Extreme Speed during bursts, the maximum speed of Blade Flight, and so on.

After committing all this data firmly to memory, Yang Yu ended his meditation and fully restored the Spiritual Force he had just exhausted.

Feeling the slowly rotating Purple Sphere in his Consciousness Sea and the War Blade tightly gripped in his hand, Yang Yu felt an overwhelming sense of security.

With chaotic times approaching, nothing could make Yang Yu feel more at ease than this.

After standing and looking around, Yang Yu took to Blade Flight again, preparing to return to Jiangnan City.

More than half an hour later.

After returning home, Yang Yu watched the news with his grandfather for a while before heading back to his bedroom to rest.

Seeing Yang Yu return safely, Grandpa Yang, who had been worrying all along, finally returned to his room with peace of mind.

By the time Yang Yu finished his routine cultivation of Genetic Origin Energy, it was already late at night.

Yang Yu looked at the city outside the window, still ablaze with lights, and slowly fell asleep.
