A month had passed, and Huang Xiao and Zhao Yunhui had both begun to despair on the island.
There was no sign of any ships passing this place. Their moods had undergone great changes: unease, uncertainty about the future, and not knowing what to do.
Still, since things had come to this, they could only face reality.
Ever since Huang Xiao had shared the Sui Emperor Chapter with Zhao Yunhui, she had often studied it. She would test her insights together with Huang Xiao, and their exchanges had indeed benefited him immensely, many times more than studying alone ever could. Of course, Zhao Yunhui had benefited as well.
Besides studying the Sui Emperor Chapter, Zhao Yunhui also studied the Scripture of Great Peace, incorporating its formations into the Lingbo Ethereal Steps to continue perfecting this lightness skill.
Absorbed in martial arts, the two thought considerably less about being trapped on a deserted island for a time. At least, much of their attention had been diverted.
With Zhao Yunhui's help, Huang Xiao had finally gleaned some supreme yang cultivation techniques from the Sui Emperor Chapter. Although these techniques could not reach the level of the Yin Demon Divine Skill, they still constituted a wondrous supreme yang internal cultivation method.
Huang Xiao's Blazing Yang Palm followed a fierce, forceful approach, so he combined it with some of the energy-circulation methods he had gleaned from the Sui Emperor Chapter, increasing its power severalfold.
Moreover, as Huang Xiao's understanding deepened, there was still room for the Blazing Yang Palm to grow stronger. This was another pleasant surprise besides obtaining the Lingbo Ethereal Steps.
"Xin'er... Xin'er..."
"Senior Brother Huang, what's wrong?" Zhao Yunhui was suddenly awakened from her sleep by Huang Xiao's cry.
By the time she woke, Huang Xiao had woken as well.
