Sixty thousand crystals per second!
Though it was expensive, Xia Fei still chose the best environment that Towering Wind Pavilion could provide. This was not a problem of money but of cultivation!
No amount of Origin Energy could be exchanged for a rapid increase in cultivation, so Xia Fei did not hesitate at all when presented with an opportunity to rapidly improve himself.
A thousand Origin Crystals per day did not make the room any more spacious or luxurious, though it was cleaner and more exquisite. Most importantly, the room itself had a pleasant energy surrounding it, allowing his body to rapidly recover.
It was not just Xia Fei; even Furball and Peacock Blue were recovering rapidly in this environment. Seeing Furball and Peacock Blue peacefully fall asleep, Xia Fei felt that this money was well spent.
Composing himself, Xia Fei attempted to contact Avril using the Black Bat radar. Xia Fei did not mention a word about his new identity or the battle in a month's time. It was not that he wanted to hide it from her, but Avril had never cared about Xia Fei's identity. The two of them had met when Xia Fei was still a poor kid with nothing to his name. Xia Fei believed that even if he were to fall into dire straits one day, Avril would still stay by his side.
It was just that the Skywing Clan was very troublesome to explain. Xia Fei still did not understand the reason, so he did not know how to explain it to Avril. As such, he could only casually chat with Avril, telling her that he might return in a month's time.
Turning off the screen, Xia Fei contacted Moon Song and Hyacinth. Hyacinth had long known that Xia Fei was a member of the Skywing Clan, and the best impersonators in Exiled Grounds were rather well-informed.
Hyacinth had always felt that Xia Fei was mysterious, and now that Xia Fei had returned to Skywing, it only confirmed his speculations about Xia Fei's background. He professed his loyalty, saying that he wanted to serve both Xia Fei and Skywing.
A person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. The strength that the Skywing Clan had displayed this time had instantly spread throughout the Law Realm. Countless people were fearful and impressed. Hyacinth felt that he had found a powerful backer, so it was understandable that he was being respectful to Xia Fei.
Moon Song, on the other hand, was very surprised. She kept asking Xia Fei all sorts of questions, clamoring for him to pay her a visit when he had the time, though she did not say what he wanted to do. Xia Fei owed her a big favor, so all he could do was bite the bullet and agree. Who knew what the weird Moon Song was up to?
It was already late, and Xia Fei could only feel his eyelids getting heavy. The fatigue that he had accumulated over the past few days finally broke out, and he fell into a deep sleep as he laid on the bed. As for the harsh training he was going to undergo the next day, it was all thrown to the back of his mind.
…
In the middle of the night, Honest Xia was awoken by a series of beeping sounds. He picked up a small machine by his bedside and glanced at it. He then put on his clothes and rushed out of the door.
Beneath the courtyard was a huge and intricate control mechanism. A set of machines personally built by Honest Xia operated day and night, providing the necessary energy for the dozens of houses above ground.
The reason why Xia Fei could feel his body brimming with energy in his room was because of this set of equipment working underground. As a rare Energy Artificer, Honest Xia could combine his forging techniques with Origin Energy, creating a powerful energy field that warriors could easily absorb.
This was somewhat similar to the mechanism used in the Heaven Execution Training Camp, though it was more intricate, and the energy used was purer. It did not cause too much damage to the human body, and even low-rank warriors could enjoy the benefits of Origin Energy.
In the center of the device was a green grade 5 Origin Crystal, but it was now transparent. It was obvious that the energy it contained had been completely depleted!
Honest Xia furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, "That can't be, right? Xia Fei is the only one living here, so how could the energy be depleted so quickly? "
Next to the device was the backup system. Once the main system's energy was depleted, the backup system would automatically activate. Now, not only was the main system completely depleted, even the backup system was almost completely depleted. This was why Honest Xia had received the alarm, urging him to arrange a new energy source for this energy device.
As everyone knew, the entire Law Realm was built on the foundation of energy. Having energy was equivalent to having everything. In a dozen or so hours, Xia Fei had used up close to two grade 5 Origin Crystals. Such a rapid rate of absorption was far beyond Honest Xia's expectations.
It must be mentioned that a grade 5 Origin Crystal had a hundred times the energy of a grade 4 Origin Crystal! Moreover, this kind of high-end energy could only be produced by an Energy Artificer of grade 5 and above. Aside from the few great clans in the Law Realm, no one else had even seen a green Origin Crystal before.
Based on Xia Fei's absorption rate, he would need at least four grade 5 Origin Crystals every twenty-four hours, which was equivalent to four hundred grade 4 Origin Crystals!
Honest Xia had charged Xia Fei a thousand Origin Crystals for the room, and after deducting the daily consumption, he would not be able to earn much. Moreover, due to the scarcity of grade 5 Origin Crystals, he would normally need at least two hundred grade 4 Origin Crystals to exchange for one.
Honest Xia could not help but furrow his brows. It seemed like he would not be able to earn much from Xia Fei. At most, it would be a draw. Xia Fei's energy absorption rate was truly too monstrous, and there was no way he would be able to make a deal.
Every year, many warriors would come to the Towering Wind Pavilion to cultivate, both high and low, and this was the first time Honest Xia had seen someone absorb energy as quickly as Xia Fei.
'Forget it. This young man isn't bad. Even if I can't earn money from the room, I still have food and cultivation expenses.' Honest Xia smiled as he thought of how good Xia Fei was.
After swapping out the Origin Crystals, Xia Honest turned on the automatic circulation system. As long as the energy was depleted, the system would no longer alert Xia Honest. Instead, it would automatically swap out the Origin Crystals. This saved Xia Honest the trouble of constantly swapping out the Origin Crystals.
However, what Honest Xia did not know was that Xia Fei was not the only one absorbing energy. Furball and Peacock Blue were also absorbing energy! One was an Immemorial Mystical Armament, and the other was a mighty Holy Beast!
Xia Fei, Furball, and Peacock Blue were not easy to deal with. In the battle against the Law Overlord, the three of them had suffered very heavy injuries. As time passed, Xia Fei and the others' wounds would rapidly heal, entering a period of rapid recovery, and their energy absorption rate would also increase!
Today's situation was just the beginning!
…
The next day, Xia Fei woke up very late. It was already late in the morning when Xia Fei groggily crawled out of bed.
"Crap! Why did I sleep for so long? "
Xia Fei hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out of the room.
Xia Fei had always been very strict with his schedule, never willing to waste even a minute. Perhaps because he was too tired, Xia Fei slept especially soundly today, sleeping for more than ten hours!
"You're up?" He saw Honest Xia waiting outside the door with a smile on his face. On the table was a luxurious set meal worth a thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals.
Xia Fei awkwardly scratched his head. "I slept a little too deeply. I've kept you waiting."
Honest Xia disapprovingly said, "There's no point in waking up too early. I still have to manage those kids in class. This is just the right time. Besides, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so resting a little longer won't hurt."
Xia Fei nodded and carefully ate this heart-rending breakfast. Every second spent in the Towering Wind Pavilion was money!
"What's your current speed?" Honest Xia asked.
"Thirty thousand per second, and my rank is …"
Xia Fei was just about to say his rank when he was stopped by Honest Xia. "Don't tell me it's useless. Ranks are all rules set by the Alliance. This is the Law Realm, so you should just forget about what you used to do."
Xia Fei was speechless, so he lowered his head and continued eating.
Honest Xia paused and muttered to himself, "Abilities and Law are different paths that lead to the same goal. There's a limit to the cultivation of abilities, and in the end, you'll still have to turn to the path of Law Force. However, cultivating your abilities to the limit will greatly benefit you in converting to Law Force in the future. I think you should start with your abilities. I want to know where your limit is."
Xia Fei frowned and nodded in agreement. Honestly speaking, continuing to cultivate abilities in the Law Realm was rather clumsy. After all, once an ability reached a very high level, every step forward would not be easy, and Law Force was much more effective, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Honest Xia noticed the change in Xia Fei's expression and patiently said, "I know that you want to learn the Law of Speed right away so that your speed can soar. You're a smart man, and you should have heard of the phrase 'more haste, less speed', right? Revising your abilities will be very beneficial to your future. According to the rules of our Skywing Race, thirty thousand per second is already the standard of grade 7, and one more step is grade 8! Sixty thousand per second! Finally, grade 9, one hundred and twenty thousand per second!
"Under normal circumstances, you can cultivate the Law of Speed once you break through grade 4, but it's a different story if you have the ability to continue improving it. You can give it a try first. It'll be great if you can cultivate your ability to a higher level, but if you can't, I won't force you."
Xia Fei nodded, deciding to follow Honest Xia's arrangements. As a senior who had nurtured countless elites, his words could not be wrong.
…
Ten days later.
A ray of light, a black light flashed and disappeared!
It was very fast, twice as fast as Xia Fei had been in the past, reaching sixty thousand per second!
Honest Xia stood on the mountain peak, looking excitedly at that black figure flying by. He muttered to himself, "Grade 8! Level 8 ability! Xia Fei actually broke through to level 8! "
The last time someone from the Skywing Race broke through to level 8 was more than one hundred years ago, when the current patriarch, Xia Buyun, barely managed to break through sixty thousand per second! Today, the Skywing Race finally had another genius who had broken through to level 8!
Although sixty thousand per second was not eye-catching among the elites of the Skywing Race, it must be known that Xia Fei had not even cultivated the Law of Speed! He was completely relying on the power of his ability!
"Incredible! Truly incredible! " Honest Xia nagged. "This won't do. I have to report this matter to the higher-ups. Who knows, our family might have another Divine Wings with a max level ability!"
Honest Xia turned around excitedly and walked towards his room. His eyes shone with a bright light!
Max level ability meant that Xia Fei would have more room for development than Xia Buyun, for their starting point was an entire level apart!
Xia Buyun was the strongest Mage God in the White Horse Constellation, and his ability had started at level 8 before he began to study law powers. If Xia Fei could reach the maximum level for his ability, his future achievements were destined to be even greater than Xia Buyun's! How could Honest Xia not be excited?
Speed!
This problem that had plagued Xia Fei for several years was finally no longer a problem!
