"Teacher... are we there yet?"
Yue Ling dangled listlessly in midair, already growing numb to the scenery and the dizzying height below.
There was nothing here but green forests and winding, rugged mountains.
They had been flying for ages now, and even the sun had boldly shown its face.
"Almost, almost," Xuan Zi's voice came from above.
Yue Ling pursed his lips and muttered, "That's what you said just now..."
"What did you say?"
"N-nothing."
With his teacher so overwhelmingly powerful, Yue Ling could only submit.

In the coming years, Soul Tools would definitely carve out a place for themselves.
