Chapter 22: Controlling the Wings
Holding the hilt of the Seven Killing Sword, Chen Yuan successfully returned to the top of the cliff, landed beside Chen Xin, took back his martial spirit, and said:
"Teacher, jumping off the cliff is very effective. In such a thrilling state, my blood and soul power are stimulated, gradually opening up blood vessels and meridians and entering the golden wings. I can already control it to swing slightly, but if I want to fully master it, I need more stimulation."
Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back, chuckled when he heard this, looked at Chen Yuan, and said casually:
"You are quite courageous, kid. But this is not entirely a bad thing. Go ahead. Mastering the golden wings as soon as possible will definitely be of great help to your future cultivation. These are external soul bones that can grow with their master."
Chen Yuan nodded, turned around and walked to the edge of the cliff again. He bent his legs slightly, exerted force, and jumped off the cliff.
He let his body fall, and it was the same feeling as last time, the violent feeling of falling swept through his whole body, thrilling, exciting, blood boiling, and soul power surging, constantly washing through his limbs and bones, while also opening up and entering his golden wings.
By the time it was getting dark, Chen Yuan had already jumped more than 30 times in a row. The excitement that the hundred-meter-high cliff could bring to him was getting smaller and smaller, but today's gains were definitely not small.
Although his body and golden-feathered wings were covered with scars, he was able to retract the golden-feathered wings into his body. Now, he could finally put on clothes. Otherwise, with his birdman appearance, he really couldn't wear clothes without two holes on the back.
As night fell, Chen Xin and Chen Yuan roasted some bird meat over the campfire, ate some dry food, and then went into a cave to rest.
Chen Yuan did not sleep well. He felt something unusual on his back, numbness, and swelling. After thinking about it, he could only think of one explanation, which was that his golden wings were being nourished by blood and soul power, repairing the damage caused by jumping off the cliff during the day. So he didn't care about it.
The next day, Chen Yuan was in high spirits, and after careful selection, he chose a seven-hundred-foot cliff that could satisfy his needs and bring him a stronger stimulation.
The effect is extremely outstanding. Chen Yuan is already able to control the wings and stay in the sky for a long time. However, his flying is not flexible enough and can only be used for traveling and cannot be used in combat.
On the third day, Chen Yuan strengthened himself again and chose a cliff that was 1,600 feet high. It was towering into the clouds and majestic, and he jumped directly from it.
Perhaps it was the accumulation of hundreds of cliff jumps, or perhaps it was that the stimulation brought by this cliff jump was strong enough, the blood vessels and meridians were all opened up, achieving perfect circulation with his body. The blood circulated, the golden feather wings became strong and powerful, and the soul power circulated. The golden feather wings were truly as easy to use as one's own hands and feet, and could be controlled at will.
……
In the blue sky, white clouds are floating, and the breeze is blowing gently. Suddenly, a golden figure passes by. When you get closer, you will find that this golden figure is actually Chen Yuan.
At this moment, behind him, the golden wings that were over six meters long, each feather emitted a faint golden light. After being nourished by blood and soul power, these feathers extended out like daggers, making the edges of the wings serrated, which made the pair of wings look like two sharp blades.
Chen Yuan was in the sky, sometimes flapping his wings to instantly rise into the air, sometimes folding his wings and diving downward, moving flexibly and agilely. This was his huge gain in the past few days.
Not only that, Chen Yuan once passed through two stone pillars and swung the Seven Killing Sword in his hand continuously, and the two stone pillars fell down. The huge stone pillar required two or three people to hug it, but Chen Yuan was able to chop it down directly like cutting melons and vegetables.
The reason he could do this was, firstly, the sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword, and secondly, the speed boost brought by flying. Chen Yuan's current strength cannot be simply measured by realm, soul rings... Although he is only a Soul Master, it is definitely not difficult for him to suddenly attack and defeat a group of Soul Sect members.
After a long time, Chen Yuan finally landed from the sky. When he returned to the ground, he retracted his golden wings and put on the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's uniform. Every time he used the external soul bone, his clothes would burst, so he simply stopped wearing a shirt. At this time, Chen Yuan looked at Chen Xin, smiled and said:
"Teacher, I have mastered the Golden Wings. I believe they will be a great help to me in the future."
Chen Xin nodded, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said with a serious look on his face:
"Yuan'er, soul bones have always been the most coveted treasure in the soul master world. Once discovered, people will kill people to take their bones. Although the external soul bones are not like the other six soul bones, which will drop after being killed, not every soul master can recognize that they are external soul bones. So don't use the golden wings easily. The teacher will not always be by your side, for fear that someone will take risks. But now you have the ability to fly, and not many people can keep you."
Chen Yuan understood the interests involved and would not take risks lightly. He nodded and said:
"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, teacher."
Chen Xin said no more when he saw this. With a thought, he flew into the sky. He still stood with his hands behind his back, looking as carefree as a god. Then he said:
"It's time to go back to the sect. You now have the ability to fly. Follow me and return to the sect on your own. This can be considered a kind of training for you."
Chen Yuan immediately summoned his martial soul, stretched out his hand, a white light flashed, the Seven Killing Swords appeared in his hand, and three soul rings, one yellow and two purple, rose up under his feet.
"The third soul skill, sword wings are like flying!"
The Seven Killing Sword grew in size, becoming about two meters long and half a foot wide. It floated in the air, quickly descended, and lay horizontally in front of Chen Yuan.
Now that he has successfully mastered the golden-feather wings, he also needs to practice flying with a sword.
Chen Yuan jumped onto the Seven Kill Sword, and was unstable for a moment, with his body shaking continuously. He quickly made adjustments, first by adjusting his body's center of gravity, and second by adjusting his soul power output to ensure that he and the Seven Kill Sword were in a state of balance.
After a moment, he finally stood firm, with soul power infused into his legs. Like an old tree taking root, he stood firmly on the Seven Killing Sword.
With a smile on his face, Chen Yuan raised his sword finger, first raised it up, then pointed it forward, and whispered:
"Get up and go!"
The Seven Killing Sword slowly floated up, and after reaching the same height as Chen Xin, it flew towards Chen Xin's position.
Chen Xin noticed the situation behind him, nodded secretly in his heart, and controlled his speed to fly forward.
In order to take care of Chen Yuan, who was not yet proficient in flying a sword, it took them a lot of time to return to the sect this time.
