Celebratory Wine is Ready for You

Several days later, Wu Yong returned to the academy and discovered that today happened to be the final day of the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.

Watching the ongoing final of the Inner Academy Selection Tournament on the arena, where two senior students were trading blows, Wu Yong narrowed his eyes.

The wind whispered in his ears, telling him everything he wanted to know.

"About three or four-star Da Dou Shi level. Dealing with one wouldn't be too troublesome, and I could handle both together, though it might come at a price..."

As Wu Yong watched the two combatants, he used their fighting styles to simulate in his mind what it would be like to fight them both simultaneously.

Even though they were all at the third rank, human Da Dou Shi were much more troublesome to deal with than third-rank Magic Beasts.

Humans were more intelligent and knew how to utilize Dou Qi flexibly in combat, such as the Dou Qi Gauze of a Dou Shi or the Dou Qi Armor of a Da Dou Shi.

Of course, Wu Yong's simulation was based on a fair, head-on fight in the arena; it was indeed quite strenuous for a Dou Shi to fight two Da Dou Shi.

However, if it were a no-rules scenario, Wu Yong had at least five ways to kill them both without sustaining a single injury.

"How is it? Are you confident you could fight one of them?"

"Just about."

Wu Yong turned his head to see Ruolin smiling at him, her eyes shimmering with a peculiar light.

Based purely on sensing his aura, Ruolin found that she could no longer see through the youth before her. Therefore, she believed his words were not empty.

"But if I remember correctly, you haven't broken through to Da Dou Shi yet, have you?"

Ruolin was a bit puzzled, then answered her own question: "But then again, for a genius, fighting across ranks doesn't seem to be a difficulty."

"A genius? Perhaps..."

Wu Yong smiled and sighed silently in his heart.

A genius, at the end of the day, is just a genius, not a true powerhouse.

Geniuses can be snuffed out; only the truly strong can do whatever they please on this continent!

"Instructor, can the academy lend out movement-type Dou Techniques?"

Just now, Wu Yong had suddenly recalled an old saying: In all the world's martial arts, nothing is unbreakable, only speed is invincible!

No matter how powerful a Dou Technique is, if it can't hit the target, isn't it just a waste of effort?

No matter how wide the coverage of a Dou Technique is, as long as my speed is fast enough to travel a thousand miles in an instant, what can you do?

You can only fly into a powerless rage~

Now, relying on [Son of Wind], Wu Yong's speed had reached the extreme. If he could cultivate a movement-type Dou Technique, he would dare to go and clash with a fifth-rank Magic Beast!

Because fifth-rank Magic Beasts cannot fly, and their mastery of Dou Qi does not reach the level of human Dou Wang powerhouses who can condense wings from Dou Qi.

"Movement-type Dou Technique?" Ruolin shook her head and whispered: "At the very least, it would have to be a Xuan-tier intermediate movement-type Dou Technique to meet your requirements. Movement-type Dou Techniques are already rare, and those of that level are worth no less than some Di-tier Dou Techniques."

"If you really want one, the top five of the next Inner Academy Selection Tournament should be your chance. However, I dare not speak too definitively; I can only say there is a chance. After all, movement-type Dou Techniques..."

Ruolin sighed slightly; she had only heard of such things before and dared not even dream of them.

He really is a genius!

Watching Wu Yong's thoughtful expression, Ruolin couldn't help but recall when she was his age, feeling incredibly excited just seeing someone perform a Xuan-tier Dou Technique.

"Wow!!!"

Following the sound, Ruolin saw several girls from her class exclaiming in surprise. It was because the two people fighting on the arena had just used Xuan-tier Dou Techniques to attack each other simultaneously.

Especially those two, Xueni and Xiao Yu, who were the most lively girls in the class; Ruolin had a deep impression of them.

Turning her head, Ruolin saw that Wu Yong had already left.

Perhaps this is part of the price of being a genius; it is difficult to fit in with ordinary people.

Two days later, Wu Yong sold the Magic Cores he had harvested in the Magic Beast Forest, including the wind-attribute Magic Core from the fourth-rank Gale Tiger, for a total of 1.3 million gold coins.

The single fourth-rank wind-attribute Magic Core alone sold for 950,000 gold coins.

With this, Wu Yong's savings reached a new height.

Subsequently, he used 100,000 gold coins to settle for second best and borrowed a wind-attribute leg-style Dou Technique.

Wind-Chasing Leg, Xuan-tier intermediate.

Wu Yong had not forgotten about movement-type Dou Techniques, and he had considered Instructor Ruolin's suggestion.

In the end, Wu Yong decided to set his sights on the top-five reward for a Di-tier cultivation method or Dou Technique.

Wu Yong already had ideas for a movement-type Dou Technique, provided that his subsequent cultivation went smoothly.

Time passed day by day, and as his strength grew, Wu Yong's development of [Son of Wind] became increasingly extensive.

A reincarnator possesses many wild ideas, and [Son of Wind] provided Wu Yong with the possibility to realize these ideas.

Because he had been struggling to survive in the Black-Corner Region since he was young, Wu Yong had developed a cautious personality. Even though he had cultivated many methods, he had never easily shown them to others and was very careful about protecting information regarding himself.

Time flowed slowly, and Wu Yong's accumulation grew deeper and deeper. Along with it was his cultivation realm, which seemed to be improving at a flying pace.

Having cultivated with a Xuan-tier high-grade cultivation method for a year, the surrounding heaven and earth energy even actively cooperated with Wu Yong's absorption and refinement.

I can't absorb them all, I simply can't absorb them all!

It wasn't until a white entry suddenly popped up in his mind that Wu Yong realized a whole year had passed just like that.

[Celebratory Wine is Ready for You](White Common): You have a special attraction to married women, and they are very willing to listen to your voice.

"...It's not completely useless; if this were an urban world, the effect of this white entry might not be any worse than some green entries. It's just a pity that this is the Dou Qi Continent."

Wu Yong fell silent for a moment, not surprised by this result.

Although the probability of white entries in the prize pool had dropped to 96% as his cultivation level increased, it was still quite difficult to draw entries of other colors.

Fortunately, he had [Son of Wind], which was enough to support Wu Yong in cultivating to a sufficiently high realm and possessing enough lifespan to gamble on that less than 5% chance for entries of other grades.

Ding-a-ling~

The doorbell of the villa had just emitted a pleasant sound when the door opened, and a somewhat cold-looking Wu Yong appeared before the two girls.

"Who are you?"

"Hello, classmate Wu Yong. We are in the same class as you. Instructor Ruolin asked us to remind you that tomorrow is the Inner Academy Selection Tournament. She has already registered you, so don't be late tomorrow."

"Thank you for the reminder, I've noted it down."

"Then we'll be going now, goodbye classmate Wu Yong!"

Watching the two girls run away as if fleeing, Wu Yong couldn't help but touch his own face. Was he really that scary-looking?

However, the wind soon told him the answer, putting his mind at ease.

"Yu'er, why are you running?"

"Don't you think the aura on him is terrifying?"

"That's true, I feel like even Instructor Ruolin's aura isn't as scary as his."

"Xueni, do you think he might be even stronger than the instructor?"

"Instructor Ruolin is a Da Dou Shi, after all..."
