Wu Yong: What bottleneck?

With the new entry installed, Wu Yong concluded his closed-door cultivation and stepped out of the No. 1 Training Room.

Flying up to a tree, Wu Yong began to contemplate his upcoming plans.

According to the customs of the Canaan Academy Outer Academy, since he had drawn a new entry today, the new Inner Academy Selection Tournament would begin in two days.

Once this Inner Academy Selection Tournament concluded, Instructor Ruolin would begin recruiting new students.

If his butterfly effect hadn't caused too much of a deviation, then in a few months, Instructor Ruolin would arrive at Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire with the caravan.

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map was something Wu Yong had wanted for a long time; even though he possessed the wind attribute, he could still obtain the fragment early to secure benefits for himself.

This was a fragment of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking—it had to be worth dozens of tier 8 medicinal pills, right!?

Perhaps that was a bit of an exaggeration, but exchanging it for a few high-tier medicinal pills or some Earth-tier cultivation techniques and Dou skills shouldn't be a problem.

Wu Yong could also forcibly take the quarter of the map in the hands of Hai Bodong, not to mention the other fragment from the Black-Corner Region auction two years later.

With two and a half fragments of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Wu Yong didn't even dare to imagine how many tier 8 medicinal pills that would be worth!

Wu Yong estimated that if he were to trade with those ancient clans, he might even be able to exchange them for Heaven-tier cultivation techniques and Dou skills!

However, the prerequisite was that his own strength had to be sufficiently powerful—at least enough to retreat unscathed under the siege of multiple Dou Sheng experts; otherwise, he would just be a delivery boy for treasures.

The matter of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map was something Wu Yong had planned the very night he obtained [Son of Wind].

As for women, Wu Yong's original target was actually that demonic girl from the Cao Clan, because she was a female Alchemist with extremely high talent.

He believed that with his strength, he could completely subdue this demonic girl by force.

As for the women in the Jia Ma Empire, Wu Yong originally hadn't intended to provoke them.

Take Little Fairy Doctor, for example; he had no way to deal with the Woeful Poison Body, and in the end, he would still have to ask Yao Lao and his disciple for help.

The problem was, what man would be willing to let another man see his woman completely exposed?

Rather than that, it was better not to provoke them from the start, lest he end up with a green hat on his head.

However, plans could not keep up with changes, and now that he had the [Diode], Wu Yong had some new ideas in his mind.

But before that, there were some things he needed to verify.

After breaking through to the Dou Wang realm, Wu Yong's perception had become even more outstanding, especially with the augmentation of the wind.

Before long, several venomous snakes were blown up by the wind and landed in front of Wu Yong.

Looking at these colorful, venomous snakes, Wu Yong thought silently: Poison—what is the opposite extreme of it?

His gaze slowly shifted to a green entry on his panel: Medicine and Poison Do Not Separate.

So, poison and medicine are two diametrically opposed things, then?

Wu Yong extracted a small vial of venom from these snakes and then activated the [Diode].

The original venom had been colorless and transparent, and the liquid in the bottle remained colorless and transparent, but Wu Yong perceived that the liquid inside was no longer venom.

Casually grabbing a small squirrel, Wu Yong made a cut an inch deep on its body and then poured the liquid from the bottle onto the wound.

The blood at the wound stopped flowing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The wound was also healing rapidly, and a few minutes later, the injury on the squirrel had recovered as if it had never been there.

Wu Yong looked thoughtful as he took the squirrel and continued his experiments.

Soon, Wu Yong understood the utility of this [Diode].

The more potent the poison, the better the medicinal effect after being transformed by the [Diode].

A moment later, Wu Yong found the duty elder.

"Elder Lin, I have some matters to attend to and would like to request a long leave."

The elder on duty at the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower today was Elder Lin, whom Wu Yong had met before.

However, he saw Elder Lin looking at him with a dumbfounded expression, which left him somewhat puzzled.

"Elder?"

"Uh... Wu Yong, you're a Dou Wang now, aren't you?!"

"Yes, about a two-star Dou Wang."

"But you've been in the Inner Academy for less than a year, and you've advanced from a two-star Dou Ling to a two-star Dou Wang..."

Elder Lin felt like his worldview was crumbling; it had taken him the better part of his life to just barely reach the three-star Dou Wang realm, and he was still quite a distance away from being a four-star Dou Wang.

How old was this Wu Yong? Not even twenty yet, right?

"Could it be that you have no bottlenecks in your cultivation?"

"Bottlenecks?"

Wu Yong suddenly realized; no wonder he felt like he was missing something compared to others—it turned out to be bottlenecks!

Seeing Wu Yong's sudden realization, Elder Lin couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

So, you really don't have any bottlenecks in your cultivation, you brat!

"Forget it, you said you wanted to take leave, how long will you be gone?"

Elder Lin shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it; this Great Demon Emperor was not someone he could compare himself to.

"It will take about half a year. I have quite a few things to handle this time, and I also obtained a treasure map earlier that I want to go look for."

Wu Yong fabricated the story of a treasure map; in truth, it wasn't entirely a fabrication, as this treasure map was hidden within his own mind, known only to him.

"Half a year? That is indeed quite a long time. I wonder if it will affect your..."

Elder Lin stopped mid-sentence. The cultivation speed of this Great Demon Emperor was already fast enough; letting him go out for a stroll was for the best, otherwise, those old fellows at the Dou Huang realm would surely fall into a depression.

"Is there any message you would like me to pass on for you?"

"Hmm, please trouble yourself to tell Zi Yan for me that once I return, I will take her to loot all the Magic Beasts in the surrounding area."

Hearing this, Elder Lin's eyelids twitched. As expected of the duo of troublemaking Devil Kings, they spent their days thinking of nothing but such things.

"I will relay that to the girl. Anything else?"

"Nothing else. Thank you, Elder. I shall take my leave now."

"No matter, it is merely my duty."

Elder Lin waved his hand, sending off the Great Demon Emperor.

As for the question of Wu Yong's personal safety, heh, since when did a Dou Wang expert need to worry about his own safety?

No matter where he was, a Dou Wang was more than capable of protecting himself.

After leaving the Inner Academy, Wu Yong spread his cyan wings, transforming into a free bird as he soared through the sky.

The endless wind propelled him forward. Wu Yong flew faster and faster, until eventually, he even left the sound behind him.

In the azure sky thousands of meters up, a cyan meteor streaked across, leaving behind a series of sonic boom clouds.

While flying at high altitudes, Wu Yong, tightly enveloped by the wind, reached an unprecedented state of tranquility.

Flying did not require him to consume his own Dou Qi; the wind would carry him, its child, through this vast sky, flying with abandon.

As his flight speed increased, reaching who knew how many times the speed of sound, Wu Yong suddenly thought of something.

Such high wind speed must possess power that was absolutely immeasurable.

Wu Yong's fingers channeled the power of space, combining it with the wind that had reached its extreme, and he slashed at his side.

A space rift dozens of meters long was left behind by Wu Yong, and it was only after a long while that the massive roar finally reached his ears.

Wu Yong nodded in satisfaction. Trump card +1!
