Celebratory Wine is Ready for You

A few days later, Wu Yong returned to the academy and found that today was the final day of the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.

Watching the final match of the Inner Academy Selection Tournament on the arena, where two Seniors were currently exchanging blows, Wu Yong narrowed his eyes.

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

"Probably around three- or four-star Da Dou Shi. Handling either one alone wouldn't be much trouble. I could deal with both together too, though I might have to pay a price..."

As Wu Yong watched the two fight, he simulated in his mind what it would be like to face them both at once, based on their fighting styles.

They were both third-tier, but human Da Dou Shi were far more troublesome to deal with than third-tier magical beasts.

Humans were smarter and knew how to flexibly use Dou Qi in battle, such as a Dou Shi's Dou Qi Gauze or a Da Dou Shi's Dou Qi Armor.

Of course, Wu Yong's simulation was based on a fair and open fight on the arena. A Dou Shi facing two Da Dou Shi was indeed somewhat difficult for him.

But under unrestricted conditions, Wu Yong had at least five ways to kill both of them without suffering any injury.

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

"More or less."

Wu Yong turned his head. Ruolin was smiling at him, an unusual light gleaming in her eyes.

Simply judging by his aura, Ruolin realized that she could no longer see through the youth before her. Therefore, she believed that he was not lying.

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

Ruolin was somewhat puzzled, then answered her own question. "Then again, for a genius, fighting across realms doesn't seem all that difficult."

"A genius? Perhaps..."

Wu Yong smiled and quietly sighed in his heart.

A genius was ultimately only a genius, not a true powerhouse.

Geniuses could be strangled in the cradle. Only the strong could do whatever they pleased on this continent!

"Mentor, can the academy lend out movement Dou Techniques?"

Wu Yong had suddenly thought of an old saying: Among all martial arts under heaven, nothing is unbreakable; only speed is unbeatable!

No matter how powerful a Dou Technique was, wasn't it a waste of effort if it could not hit anyone?

No matter how wide the range of a Dou Technique was, if my speed was fast enough to cross a thousand miles in an instant, what could you do?

All you could do was rage helplessly~

With [Son of Wind], Wu Yong's speed had already reached an extreme. If he could cultivate another movement Dou Technique, he would dare to test himself against a fifth-tier magical beast!

Because fifth-tier magical beasts could not fly. Their command of Dou Qi had not reached the level of human Dou Wang experts, who could form Dou Qi Transformation Wings.

"A movement Dou Technique?" Ruolin shook her head and said quietly, "At the very least, you would need a Xuan-tier mid-level movement Dou Technique to meet your needs. Movement Dou Techniques are already rare, and one of that grade is worth no less than some Di-tier Dou Techniques."

"If you truly want one, the top five in the next Inner Academy Selection Tournament should be your opportunity. But I can't make any promises. I can only say there is a chance, because movement Dou Techniques..."

Ruolin sighed softly. She had only heard of such things before and had never even dared to dream of obtaining one.

He really was a genius!

Watching Wu Yong's thoughtful expression, Ruolin could not help recalling when she had been his age. Back then, she had been thrilled beyond measure just to see someone use a Xuan-tier Dou Technique.

"Wow!!!"

Following the sound, Ruolin saw several girls from her class cry out in surprise. The two people fighting on the arena had just used Xuan-tier Dou Techniques against each other at the same time.

Especially Xueni and Xiao Yu, the two liveliest girls in the class. Ruolin remembered them particularly well.

When she turned back, Ruolin found that Wu Yong had already left.

Perhaps that was part of the price of becoming a genius. It was difficult to fit in with ordinary people.

Two days later, Wu Yong sold the magic cores he had obtained in the Magic Beast Forest. Including the Wind Attribute magic core from that fourth-tier Gale Tiger, he earned a total of 1.3 million gold coins.

That single fourth-tier Wind Attribute magic core alone sold for 950,000 gold coins.

Wu Yong's savings had now reached a new high.

Afterward, he spent 100,000 gold coins and settled for a Wind Attribute leg-technique Dou Technique.

Wind-Chasing Leg, Xuan-tier mid-level.

Wu Yong had not forgotten about movement Dou Techniques either, and he had considered Mentor Ruolin's suggestion.

In the end, Wu Yong planned to use the reward for placing in the top five on a Di-tier cultivation method or Dou Technique.

As for a movement Dou Technique, Wu Yong already had an idea, provided everything went smoothly in his coming cultivation.

Days passed one after another. As his strength steadily increased, Wu Yong's development of [Son of Wind] became broader and broader.

A reincarnator possessed countless strange and ingenious ideas, while [Son of Wind] gave Wu Yong the possibility of turning those ideas into reality.

Having struggled through the Black-Corner Region since childhood, Wu Yong had developed a cautious nature. Even though he had cultivated many methods, he never revealed them lightly and paid close attention to concealing information about himself.

Time slowly passed, and Wu Yong's foundation became increasingly profound. Along with it, his cultivation realm rose as though flying.

After cultivating for a year with a Xuan-tier high-level cultivation method, even the surrounding natural energy actively cooperated with Wu Yong's absorption and refinement.

He could not absorb it all. He simply could not absorb it all!

It was not until a white entry suddenly appeared in his mind that Wu Yong realized a year had passed just like that.

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

"...It's not completely useless. In an urban world, this white entry might not be worse than some green entries. Unfortunately, this is the Dou Qi Continent."

Wu Yong fell silent for a moment, but he was not surprised by the result.

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

Fortunately, he had [Son of Wind]. It was enough to support Wu Yong's cultivation to a sufficiently high realm and grant him enough lifespan to gamble on that less than 5% chance of entries of other grades.

Ding-ding-ding~

The bell at the villa gate had barely made its pleasant sound when the door opened, and Wu Yong, his expression somewhat cold, appeared before the two girls.

"You are?"

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

"Thank you for reminding me. I'll remember it."

"Then we'll be going first. Goodbye, Wu Yong!"

Watching the two girls run away as if fleeing for their lives, Wu Yong could not help touching his face. Was he really that frightening-looking?

But the wind quickly gave him the answer, putting his mind at ease.

"Yu'er, why are you running?"

"Don't you think his aura is terrifying?"

"That's true. I feel like even Mentor Ruolin's aura isn't as frightening as his."

"Xueni, do you think he could be stronger than our mentor?"

"Mentor Ruolin is a Da Dou Shi..."
