In the air, a man and a woman stood on top of the clouds, quietly watching the black-robed young man who was rapidly escaping through the mountain range.
"From the aura that your disciple is emitting, he at least has the strength of a Dou Ling. But why doesn't he fly? Why must he escape on the mountain range?"
Yun Yun was a little puzzled. No matter how fast one was escaping on land, could it be faster than flying in a straight line in the air?
"It's not that he doesn't want to fly, but that he can't!"
The corner of Cheng Hao's mouth revealed a faint smile as he eyed Xiao Yan, who was running wildly on the ground while repeatedly dodging the flame attacks from the Amethyst Winged Lion in the air.
"Why can't he fly? Even if he hasn't learned any flying Dou Techniques, once he reaches the Dou Ling level, he can easily transform his Dou Qi into wings!"
"Do you see those black rings on his body? They contain the energy that I left behind. Being affected by this energy, he can't even use a tenth of his strength. If he really forcefully flies, his speed would probably not be as fast as running on land! " Cheng Hao smiled as he explained. Since he had nothing to do, it was quite interesting to stay here and watch the show and chat.
"Then why didn't he take off the rings? Without the effects of the rings, his speed can definitely increase by several times. It is still possible for him to escape from the Magic Beast Mountain Range! "
"That is indeed the case. But when I bestowed these rings to him, I instructed that without my orders, he could not take them off. Today, I sent the Amethyst Winged Lion to teach him a lesson because I want to see if this little guy will go against his master's orders and choose to save his life or choose to follow his master's orders and face death in the face of a life and death crisis!"
Hearing this, Yun Yun frowned. She seemed to disagree with Cheng Hao's method of testing.
"Sir, going against his master's orders to take off the rings in the face of a life and death crisis is human nature. It can't be considered a big mistake, right? I'm afraid that a normal person would choose to save their life. "
"Yes, choosing to save one's life is indeed human nature, so if Xiao Yan really chooses to do so, I won't make things difficult for him. I'll just take back the cultivation method I gave him and erase part of his memory, as if I've never accepted him as a disciple!" Cheng Hao said with a smile.
"This … Isn't this punishment a little too harsh?" Yun Yun didn't understand. What was wrong with a disciple wanting to live?
"Some things, even if you know you will die, you still have to persevere." Cheng Hao shook his head and sighed softly, "If Xiao Yan chooses to go against Master's order to save his life today, then he can betray Master tomorrow to save his life!"
"When I choose a disciple, I don't care about one's aptitude. I only care about one's temperament. If one's temperament isn't up to standard, they won't be able to pass the test. No matter how talented they are, I won't accept them!"
Yun Yun nodded her head thoughtfully, then fell silent. No one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
Time passed little by little. In the Magical Beast Mountain Range below, Xiao Yan had long been beaten up by the Amethyst Winged Lion until his body was covered in injuries. However, from start to finish, he didn't have any thoughts of removing the Gravity Ring. This performance made Cheng Hao very satisfied.
A person with perseverance in his heart and a person who kept his promise, even if his current strength wasn't strong, as long as he didn't fall along the way, it was only a matter of time before he became a strong person in the future.
Looking at Xiao Yan, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries and still hadn't removed the Gravity Ring, Cheng Hao nodded his head. From this moment onwards, he finally completely approved of Xiao Yan!
"Let's end it here!"
Cheng Hao's cold voice suddenly exploded in the Amethyst Winged Lion's mind. Its huge body couldn't help but tremble for a while. Following which, it took a deep look at Xiao Yan's appearance below, then turned around and stepped on the fire cloud, disappearing into the void.
"The show is over, let's part ways here!"
High up in the clouds, Cheng Hao nodded his head towards Yun Yun. Following which, his figure flashed and disappeared into the vast void. The white clouds surrounded Yun Yun's graceful figure, leaving her standing alone in the clouds, deep in thought.
.....
On the outskirts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan's blood-covered body quietly floated on the surface of a river under a waterfall.
"Tell me, are you stupid? You're about to lose your life, yet you still haven't removed the Gravity Ring! "Yao Lao's spiritual body floated out from the ring, sitting cross-legged in mid-air as he shook his head and sighed.
"I promised Master that without his orders, I would definitely not remove this Gravity Ring. What I, Xiao Yan, promised, even if I die, I will not go against!"
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. First, he sucked in a breath of cold air, then he grinned. To him, death wasn't scary. It wasn't as if he hadn't died before. With Master's strength, even if he died, there were many ways to revive him.
Xiao Yan was very clear that his Master was actually the same as him, somewhat obsessed with cleanliness. If he went against his Master's orders, went against his promise, and removed the Gravity Ring without permission, then the fate that awaited him would be much more terrifying than death!
"Forget it, I really don't understand you master and disciple!" Yao Chen sighed. His body flashed and once again returned to the ring. A weak voice was slowly emitted from the ring.
"During this period of time, you should properly recover from your injuries. Once your body is better, I will teach you how to refine medicine!"
.....
Three days later, Misty Cloud Sect.
The Misty Cloud Sect was one of the largest factions in the Jia Ma Empire. Its sect was directly located on a majestic mountain range that was over ten li away from the empire's capital. Due to the Misty Cloud Sect's name, this mountain was also known as the Misty Cloud Mountain.
The peak of the mountain behind the Misty Cloud Sect was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
On a protruding black rock at the edge of the cliff, a young lady wearing a moon-white robe was currently forming a training seal with her hands. Her eyes were closed as she trained. Around her, streams of green air appeared and were absorbed into her body.
Xiu!
Suddenly, a pair of green wings flashed and a beautiful figure descended from the sky, standing on the peak of the mountain.
"Master, you have returned!"
Looking at the female figure that walked out of the green light, the young lady who was originally training hurriedly ended her training, stood up and bowed.
"Yes, how is your training going?"
The female in the green light was Yun Yun, who had just returned from the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
"Your disciple has already broken through to the Dou Zhe realm. Master, you said that when Yanran becomes a Dou Zhe, you can consider my request to go to the Xiao clan to cancel the engagement. Have you considered it now?"
"I remember that your fiance from the Xiao clan is called Xiao Yan, right?" Yun Yun frowned and asked in a deep voice.
