Chapter 198 - Girl In The Woods

In the middle of the night, Xiao Fang was carrying Xiao Hei on his back as they exited the caves. The first thing they felt was the nice, cool midnight breeze on their warm skins.

"I missed looking up at the sky. It's nice to be back," Xiao Hei said as her eyes sparkled from the reflection of the stars.

Xiao Fang had his blindfold on, so he couldn't see what she was looking at, but judging from her tone, he could tell it was beautiful.

"Maybe someday I'll take you up a really high mountain to get a better view," he replied.

"That would be nice, but what I really want is to fly. I always wondered what it would be like to be up there dancing with the stars."

"That would be something."

"Fang, you need to master the Ascending Immortal technique. Once you do, you'll be able to fly like my previous master did."

"Wait, are you serious?"

"It's true, I've even seen it with my own eyes."

Xiao Fang suddenly recalled the story of how the City of Mannan was destroyed. It was rumored that there were 2 Heavenly realm experts fighting above the volcano before it erupted. If that story was true, then it was likely that the corpse Xiao Fang found next to Xiao Hei was one of the experts.

"Fang, you have already mastered the 1st level of the Ascending Immortal technique, [ Floating Leaf Rushing Tide ]. You should start practicing the 2nd level soon."

"Hmm, maybe I should. We can start tomorrow after we get some rest."

After entering the woods where his guild house was located, Xiao Fang stopped when he sensed a familiar person practicing in the woods again.

"Why did we stop?" Xiao Hei asked as she was still being carried on his back.

Xiao Fang put her down then said,

"You go on ahead. There's something I would like to do here first."

Xiao Hei was feeling too tired to be curious, so she did as he said. Once she was gone, Xiao Fang went towards the mystery girl in the woods.

[ Stealth ]

The closer he got to her the more mist he encountered. When Xiao Fang was only 50 meters away he took his blindfold off and his eyes widened from what he was seeing.

She was beautiful, even more stunning than most of the girls in the inner court. Perhaps it was because she was a body cultivator, but she didn't seem too strong nor too soft, it was clear that she was cultivating her body and spirit cultivation and that she reached a fairly high realm with both. However, she was also young.

Xiao Fang often forget how young he was himself because women often called him "Big Brother" in the bedroom. But truth be told, the young woman he was looking at was still a bit older than he was.

She wore the black Phoenix-Class uniform, her hair was tied back into a bun, and her rosy red cheeks and lips made Xiao Fang's heart race a bit faster. She was a beauty that could almost be compared to Xun Wei, but behind her strong attacks he could still sense her softness. She was still pure.

Xiao Fang was a dual cultivator first and foremost, so at some point he couldn't help but look at her curves.

She had a athletic body, small face, cute ears, and stood around 167cm tall. Although her b.r.e.a.s.ts were fairly small, she had an irresistibly round a.s.s that could fit comfortably into Xiao Fang's hands.

Xiao Fang eventually stopped focusing on her body and started paying attention to her moves.

She had 3 illusory clones on the field, each of them wielding 3 spirit throwing knives. With a wave of her sleeve, all 12 knives would shoot towards the practice dummy from different angles. Despite being hit by all 12 knives the practice dummy would simply regenerate all the damage done to it in a matter of seconds.

Interestingly enough, her clone's spirit knives were doing just as much damage as the original. The knives the clones were throwing weren't illusions.

By nature, Illusory qi was harmless. It could only mimic the visuals of techniques and other things, but it couldn't replicate the damage output. This was the reason why the [ Solid Clone ] technique was so special. It was the only illusory technique Xiao Fang had heard of that could deal real damage to targets.

To get a better understanding of what was going on, Xiao Fang used his new Dual Cultivation technique.

[ Spirit Perception ]

His eyes changed from violet to blue, then his surroundings began to change. Everything from the ground, plants, and trees disappeared and all that remained was their natural qi signature. Since nature only contained a small amount of natural qi, they were very faint to him. However, the girl's body and her clones were as bright as the moon, they were all brimming with qi.

The reason the [ Spirit Perception ] technique was so special wasn't just because he could see the flow of qi in all things, it was special because it also allowed him to see what form it was in too.

With a single glance he could immediately tell which of the 4 girls were clones and which was the original, but what he found fascinating was that the spirit knives they were all wielding were not created by Illusory qi, it wasn't Ordinary qi either, it was a form of qi he had never seen before, so he couldn't identify it.

'She's practicing another method.'
