The strangeness of the Towering Wind Pavilion
Xia Zonghai did not even look back as he fled. Speed was the ultimate technique of the Skywing Clan. Xia Zonghai's departure was practically instantaneous. "Zeng!" With a swoosh, he disappeared at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Xia Fei shook his head and entered the Towering Wind Pavilion with a heart full of worries.
As far as the eye could see, the Towering Wind Pavilion was not small. The front courtyard, the back courtyard, and the side courtyard were all arranged in picturesque disorder. The children's laughter came from a row of houses in the distance. It was like the noise of a class during recess.
All of a sudden, a white figure charged toward Xia Fei at a speed that was not inferior to Xia Fei's.
"Crafty Approach!"
Xia Fei's first reaction was very fast. His body nimbly turned, and at the same time, he habitually used a one-handed grappling technique to grab his opponent's neck!
Bang!
This man's speed was decent, but it was a pity that he did not have much combat experience and could only rely on his movement technique to charge forward. Such a method would undoubtedly not be able to gain any advantage in front of a battle-hardened expert like Xia Fei. He was directly pinned to the ground by Xia Fei, one hand tightly gripping his neck while the other hand was raised in a knife-hand stance. The slightest movement would surely result in a heavy blow!
Seeing who it was, Xia Fei could not help but find it a little funny. It turned out to be a chubby child, probably around ten years old at most. His chubby face was red from suffocation, and he looked at Xia Fei in surprise, his two small eyes unblinking.
In that instant, Xia Feis body exuded a lethal killing intent. It was a bone-chilling killing intent that could only be formed after killing countless people. There was nothing hidden about it, and it directly invaded the child's body, causing him to involuntarily shiver.
At the same time, more gasps could be heard from afar. All the children in the class had come out, some with their mouths agape, some with their hands over their mouths as they stared at Xia Fei in disbelief.
The best position for a sneak attack is forty-five degrees from the back. Attacking from the front is just courting death, Xia Fei casually said as he let go of the child.
The little fatty was still in a state of shock. He patted the dust off his body and retreated in a somewhat dispirited manner, only to be ridiculed by his companions.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and stood in the yard expressionlessly. He raised his head to look at the sky. The air at the peak of the mountain was excellent, with only a slightly cool breeze blowing from time to time.
"Are you Xia Fei?" An old and slightly surprised voice came from behind him.
Xia Fei turned around and saw a skinny old man. He was not tall, but his eyes were bright and full of expression, and he had a smile on his face.
For some reason, Xia Fei could not help but think of the old man as an unscrupulous merchant. The old man before him would be a great fit to be a shopkeeper in any store. With that treacherous look on his face, it would be a pity if he did not become an unscrupulous merchant.
Xia Fei nodded. "I am indeed Xia Fei. May I know that you must be Grandpa Honest?"
Honest Xia did not answer, instead circling around Xia Fei. "Mm, mm, mm. Your movement technique isn't bad, and your killing intent is boundless. It seems that you're someone who has seen a lot of things. I can see that your aptitude is excellent, and you're naturally intelligent. You're a good seedling for the cultivation of law energy. Xia Buyun's recommendation of you is exactly what this old man wanted."
"Don't worry. As long as you're willing to work hard with me, I guarantee that you'll instantly grasp the Law of Speed and become a qualified Heavenly Wing General! … "
Honest Xia praised Xia Fei like a flower, which made Xia Fei feel rather embarrassed. He humbly said, "Grandpa Honest is too kind. Seeing how these youths have such incredible speed at such a young age, Grandpa Honest is truly the best trainer in the Heavenly Wing Clan! However, I remember that people in the Law Realm usually start learning law energy at the age of twelve. These youths seem a little too young. "
Honest Xia disagreed. "That's the rules of other clans. We're the Heavenly Wing Clan, so don't try to apply other people's rules to us."
This was not the first time Xia Fei had heard such words. It seemed that the rules of the Law Realm and common sense no longer applied to the Heavenly Wings. The Heavenly Wing Clan was an unconventional existence, different from the other clans in that they did things independently.
Honest Xia snickered, his eyes flashing. "Your aptitude isn't bad, and your talent isn't bad, either, but there's still one crucial problem that needs to be solved. If you can't solve it, then I'm out of ideas."
Xia Fei bowed. "May I ask what the crucial problem is?"
Honest Xia nodded as he made a gesture of counting money with two fingers, smiling. "The crucial problem is, do you have money? As long as you have money, anything is negotiable. "
Xia Fei was speechless. As expected, Xia Zonghai had hit the nail on the head. Most likely, that praise just now was not sincere. It was just like how a businessman would always flaunt his goods. Honest Xia had said so much just to get Xia Fei to fork out the money!
…
As expected, Honest Xia was not honest at all. He kept trying to get information out of Xia Fei along the way, trying to find out whether or not Xia Fei had money on hand and how much he had.
Xia Fei had also been an unscrupulous businessman before, so he casually skimmed over these topics. He could see that Honest Xia's expression was ugly, and it was getting uglier by the second.
Entering the side courtyard, Honest Xia pointed to a row of houses and said, "You'll have to pay a fee to stay in the Towering Wind Pavilion. A normal room costs ten grade 4 Origin Crystals a day, a standard room costs thirty, a deluxe room costs a hundred, and a deluxe suite costs five hundred …"
Xia Fei frowned, feeling like he had entered a scam. Since the Towering Wind Pavilion was taught by the Heavenly Wings Clan, it was inappropriate for them to charge money, not to mention that the price was much more expensive than the most luxurious hotel in the White Horse Constellation! It was no different from robbery!
Thinking about what Xia Zonghai had said, Xia Fei said, "I don't have any requirements for my accommodation. A normal room is fine."
Honest Xia pursed his lips and muttered to himself, "Stingy bastard."
Actually, Xia Fei was very rich. Just what the Atlanteans had left behind was a staggering five million grade 4 Origin Crystals, but he did not have the habit of living extravagantly. After all, he was a commoner on Earth, and he had slept on the streets before. Having a roof over his head was not too difficult for Xia Fei.
Honest Xia unwillingly led Xia Fei to a dark room in the corner. Opening the door, Xia Fei discovered that though the room was small, there was nothing wrong with it. Xia Fei was originally afraid that Honest Xia would make things difficult for him because he was unwilling to fork out more money, but that did not happen.
Xia Fei nodded. "The room is pretty good. I'll stay here, but when will the special training begin?"
Honest Xia waved his hand. "What's the rush? We haven't even discussed the price yet. You'll still have to eat here, right? The Towering Wind Pavilion has a normal meal, a standard meal, a deluxe meal, and a super deluxe set …"
Xia Fei did not wait for him to finish and said, "I don't have any requirements for food. You can eat a little, or you can spend Origin Crystals."
Honest Xia was very angry, very angry. In his eyes, Xia Fei was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, but this lamb was very skinny and did not have much to offer.
His eyes turned, and Honest Xia had an idea. He smiled and said to Xia Fei, "How about this? I'll give you two rooms. One is a normal room, and the other is a standard room. You can choose one. I'll have a set of normal meals for lunch, and I'll give you a set of standard meals. Give it a try. Everything will be half price. How about it? "
Xia Fei originally wanted to reject, but after thinking about Xia Zonghai's words, he realized that Honest Xia was a person who loved money, and he could not be too stingy. Besides, it would not cost much, so he agreed.
…
Shock!
Incomparable shock!
This seemingly normal room gave Xia Fei a huge surprise!
The moment he entered the room, it was as if he had entered a powerful energy field. His entire body instantly felt clear and comfortable! It was as if he was bathing in sunlight! Every single cell in his body was vibrating with joy! Even the wounds on his body were gradually healing!
Xia Fei was so shocked that he could not speak. He clenched his fists, feeling that they were filled with power! Surging power!
"Just what's going on?! Too powerful! This room is too powerful! "Xia Fei muttered to himself.
The moment he said this, Xia Fei suddenly realized a problem. If even a normal room in the Towering Wind Pavilion could give him such a huge surprise, then what about the more luxurious rooms?!
* Whoosh ~ *
His figure flickered, and Xia Fei practically charged into the standard room next door, excitement on his face!
Sure enough, though the furnishings in this room were similar, it was clearly much more capable of containing energy than the previous one! It was like a net, a fine net! It purified the energy in Xia Fei's body layer by layer, turning it into the purest, easiest for Xia Fei to absorb, and easiest for Xia Fei to use!
Even the old demon lord found it inconceivable. He was able to accurately observe the changes in Xia Fei's body.
While he was still in shock, Xia Fei came to the courtyard with two trays, a smile on his face. Xia Fei walked out of the room with a look of surprise on his face and bowed to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei appeared very pleased with himself. There was a rather large spruce tree in the courtyard, and beneath it was a stone chair and stool. He placed the two trays of food on the table and said, "Try the food from our Towering Wind Pavilion. I guarantee that you'll have a great appetite."
Xia Fei nodded. The two trays were similar, one meat and one vegetable with seafood soup.
Xia Fei used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of broccoli and put it in his mouth. Honestly, the quality of this dish was very average, and it was a little salty to Xia Fei, with a slightly raw taste.
However, an irresistible energy instantly flowed into his body. Let alone a grade 4 Origin Crystal, even a grade 5 Origin Crystal might not be as pure as this energy! In terms of comparison, only the Source Energy that the Blood Crystal had forcefully absorbed from the bodies of those experts could compare!
After a momentary pause, Xia Fei swept the place clean like a whirlwind!
Though Xia Fei could still move around freely, the pain on his body had yet to disappear. He was only relying on his tenacious willpower to resist his internal injuries. These dishes were not natural treasures, but they were no less effective in healing and recovery than natural treasures!
Xia Fei smiled. "Eat slowly. These trays cost you five hundred grade 4 Origin Crystals."
* Pfft! *
Xia Fei was shocked, nearly vomiting on the spot. Two meals and a bowl of soup for five hundred grade 4 Origin Crystals? Wasn't that a little too ridiculous?!
Xia Fei suddenly thought of something and asked, "Right, who brought you to the Towering Wind Pavilion?"
"Xia Zonghai," Xia Fei said, wiping his mouth and finishing the food in one gulp.
Xia Honest gritted his teeth and hatefully said, "That brat Xia Zonghai still owes me over three million Origin Crystals! He actually dared to refuse me! Looks like it's time for the interest to rise again! "
Xia Fei was stunned. He suddenly understood something. Xia Zonghai and the others were so afraid of Honest Xia not only because of his harsh demands but also because he owed a huge debt!
Five hundred Origin Crystals for a meal? And it was the most ordinary of meals at that! Anyone would go bankrupt!
