After the new entry had been installed, Wu Yong ended his secluded cultivation and walked out of No. 1 Training Room.
Flying onto a tree, Wu Yong began pondering his plans for what came next.
Following the Outer Academy's usual practice, he had drawn a new entry today. In a couple of days, the new Inner Academy Selection Tournament would begin.
Once this Inner Academy Selection Tournament ended, Mentor Ruolin would also begin recruiting new students.
If his butterfly effect had not caused too much disruption, Mentor Ruolin would arrive in Wutan City of the Jia Ma Empire with the convoy a few months later.
Wu Yong had long wanted the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map. Even though he had a Wind Attribute, he could acquire the fragment map early and use it to secure benefits for himself.
This was a fragment map of the third-ranked Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Surely it had to be worth dozens of eighth-tier pills, right!?
That might have been a slight exaggeration, but trading it for several high-tier pills, some Earth Tier cultivation methods or Dou Techniques, would not be a problem.
Wu Yong could forcibly take a quarter of the fragment map in Hai Bodong's possession, as well as the fragment map that would appear at the Black-Corner Region auction two years later.
Two and a half Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame fragment maps—Wu Yong did not even dare imagine how many eighth-tier pills they would be worth!
Wu Yong estimated that if he traded with those Ancient Races, he might even obtain Heaven Tier cultivation methods and Dou Techniques!
But that depended on him being strong enough. At the very least, he needed to be able to retreat unharmed when surrounded by several Dou Sheng experts. Otherwise, he would just become a delivery boy bringing them treasure.
Wu Yong had planned the matter of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map on the very night he obtained [Son of Wind].
As for women, Wu Yong's original target had actually been that seductress from the Cao Clan, because she was an exceptionally talented female Alchemist.
With his strength, he believed he could absolutely force that seductress into submission.
Wu Yong had originally not planned to provoke the few women in the Jia Ma Empire.
Take Xiao Yi Xian, 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 own woman naked?
Rather than that, he might as well not provoke her from the start, lest he end up feeling like he had been cuckolded.
But plans could not keep up with changes. Now that he had [Diode], Wu Yong had some ideas.
Before that, however, there were still a few things he needed to verify.
After breaking through to Dou Wang, Wu Yong's perception had become even sharper, especially with the aid of the wind.
Before long, several venomous snakes were swept up by the wind and dropped before Wu Yong.
Looking at the colorful venomous snakes, Wu Yong silently thought, What was the opposite extreme of poison?
His gaze slowly shifted to a green entry on the panel: Medicine and Poison Do Not Separate.
So poison and medicine were two completely opposite things?
Wu Yong extracted a small bottle of venom from the snakes, then activated [Diode].
The venom had originally been colorless and transparent. The liquid in the bottle remained colorless and transparent, but Wu Yong could sense that it was no longer venom.
He casually grabbed a small squirrel, cut a wound about an inch deep into its body, and poured the liquid from the bottle onto the wound.
The blood at the wound stopped flowing at a visible rate. The wound also began healing rapidly, and a few minutes later, the squirrel's injury had fully recovered.
Wu Yong fell into thought and continued experimenting with the squirrel in hand.
Very quickly, Wu Yong figured out the use of [Diode].
The stronger the poison, the better the medicinal effect of the medicine produced after conversion through [Diode].
A moment later, Wu Yong found the elder on duty.
"Elder Lin, I have some matters to handle and would like to request a long leave."
Elder Lin was on duty at the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower today, and Wu Yong had met him before.
But Elder Lin was staring at him with a dumbfounded expression, leaving Wu Yong somewhat puzzled.
"Elder?"
"Uh... Wu Yong, you're a Dou Wang now, aren't you?!"
"Yes, roughly a Two-Star Dou Wang."
"But you've been in the Inner Academy for less than a year, and you've gone from a Two-Star Dou Ling to a Two-Star Dou Wang..."
Elder Lin was beginning to question his life. He had spent over half his life cultivating, yet had only barely reached the realm of a Three-Star Dou Wang. He was still quite a ways from becoming a Four-Star Dou Wang.
How old was Wu Yong? Not even twenty yet, was he?
"Could it be that you have no bottlenecks in cultivation?"
"A bottleneck?"
Wu Yong suddenly understood. No wonder he had felt like he was missing something others had. So it was bottlenecks!
Seeing Wu Yong's enlightened expression, Elder Lin's eye twitched.
So this brat really had no bottlenecks in cultivation!
"Forget it. You said you wanted leave. How long?"
Elder Lin shook his head. This Great Demon Emperor was not someone he could compare to.
"About half a year. I have quite a few things to deal with this time. Also, I found a treasure map before, and I want to go look for it."
Wu Yong made up a treasure map. But it was not exactly fabricated, because the map was hidden in his mind, and only he knew about it.
"Half a year? That is quite a long time. I wonder whether it will affect your..."
Elder Lin stopped himself. This Great Demon Emperor's cultivation speed was already fast enough. It would be good for him to go out and travel, or else those old fellows at the Dou Emperor realm would become depressed.
"Is there any message you want me to pass along for you?"
"Yes. Please tell Zi Yan that once I return, I'll take her to rob all the magical beasts nearby."
Elder Lin's eyelids twitched at that. As expected of the pair of little demons who threw the world into chaos—they thought about nothing but such things all day.
"I'll pass it on to that girl. Anything else?"
"No. Thank you, Elder. I'll be leaving now."
"It's nothing, merely my duty."
Elder Lin waved him off and sent the Great Demon Emperor away.
As for Wu Yong's personal safety, ha. Since when did a Dou Wang expert need to worry about his own safety?
No matter where they went, a Dou Wang was enough to protect themselves.
After leaving the Inner Academy, Wu Yong spread his azure wings and transformed into a free bird soaring through the sky.
Endless winds propelled him onward. Wu Yong flew faster and faster until even sound was left behind him.
Several thousand meters above the ground, an azure meteor streaked across the blue sky, leaving behind a string of sonic boom clouds.
As he flew through the high skies, tightly wrapped in wind, Wu Yong felt a tranquility unlike anything he had ever experienced.
He did not need to expend his own Dou Qi to fly. The wind carried him, this child, freely through the vast heavens.
As his speed continued to rise, reaching an unknown multiple of the speed of sound, Wu Yong suddenly thought of something.
Wind moving this quickly possessed power that was absolutely impossible to measure.
Wu Yong's finger drew upon spatial power and combined it with the wind at its utmost speed, then slashed through the air beside him.
A spatial rift dozens of meters long was flung behind Wu Yong. Only after a long while did the enormous roar reach his ears.
Wu Yong nodded in satisfaction. Trump card +1!
