Bang!
A foot-long object enshrouded in light blue light pushed open the lid of the silver box and soared into the sky. It hit the ceiling and bounced back. Before it landed on the ground, it began to fly around again.
Bang, bang, bang!
The thing kept banging against the floor and walls.
Just when Sun Mo entered the room, he saw something flying toward him at an extremely fast speed. It was like a baseball that had been hit by a home run.
"What is it?"
Sun Mo subconsciously tilted his head.
Whoosh!
The blue ball of light flew past, bringing about a strong gust of wind that messed up Sun Mo's hair.
If this hit his face, his mouth and eyes would definitely be crooked and his brain would burst.
"Teacher, I was wrong!"
Lu Zhiruo knelt down with a thud. She crossed her hands and placed them on the ground. Then, she pressed her forehead against the back of her hands, looking like she was ready to be beaten and scolded.
"What happened?"
After Li Ziqi asked, she saw the silver box opening. Her little mouth involuntarily turned into an 'O' shape, feeling extremely shocked.
"How did you do it?"
Needless to say, this ball of light must have escaped from the box.
"I … I …"
Lu Zhiruo's face was covered in tears. (I don't know either!)
"Be careful, don't get hurt!"
Sun Mo reminded. At the same time, he activated Divine Sight to observe this flying object.
"Guard the doors and windows. Don't let it escape."
Li Ziqi shouted loudly.
Compared to dying, letting this thing escape was the most unforgivable.
If the silver box that it was stored in was so high-end, then the secret treasure inside must be extremely valuable.
Warning! Unknown target! Danger level: Unknown!
Please pay attention to self-protection.
This time, the Eye Technique wasn't useless. Although it didn't reveal the origin of this thing, it marked out its various data.
"A Transformer that can fly?"
Sun Mo was astonished.
This thing looked like a metal doll. It had hands and feet, and there were strange patterns on its back and limbs that were emitting a pale blue light.
"Teacher, this thing can actually fly!"
Qin Yaoguang exclaimed.
Hearing this, Sun Mo's brows twitched and he observed it even more carefully. After that, he suddenly made a move when it flew past him again.
Pa!
Sun Mo grabbed it, but the other party's inertia was too great. It continued to bring Sun Mo along and even wanted to tear his arm off.
"F * ck your mother!"
Sun Mo had no choice but to muster all his strength and pour it into the ground.
Bang!
The secret treasure smashed onto the ground, blue light spurting out from its body. It was like a broken robot, its limbs twisting irregularly.
A few minutes later, it stopped moving completely.
"It looks like a puppet!"
Li Ziqi stopped Qin Yaoguang who wanted to get closer. "Be careful, there's danger!"
"Someone has to touch it!"
Qin Yaoguang bit the pear blossom candy and did not care at all. She directly picked up the metal doll and turned it over and over to examine it.
"Get up first!"
Sun Mo instructed when he saw Lu Zhiruo's tear-stained face.
"Teacher, I swear, it attacked first."
The papaya girl explained and didn't dare to get up.
"I know, don't cry. Even if it's broken, I won't scold you."
Through his eye technique, Sun Mo could already see the internal structure of the metal doll. It was extremely intricate and looked more like a mechanical transmission system than a puppet from the Nine Provinces.
In any case, in Sun Mo's understanding, there had never been such a puppet invention in the history of the Nine Provinces.
"It should be a product of some dark relic civilization!"
Sun Mo recalled the scenes he had seen earlier and instructed the Calabash Brothers, "I'm going into seclusion now. Don't disturb me unless it's necessary."
After saying that, Sun Mo took the metal doll and entered his bedroom.
"Did the teacher discover something?"
Qin Yaoguang was curious.
"That's for sure!"
Tantai Yutang looked toward the silver box. "There's no need to be anxious. In any case, even if Teacher discovered a divine skill, he would teach it to us."
...
Sun Mo sat at the study table. After preparing a brush and paper, he took out a spirit rune design template.
"System, help me design a flying spirit rune. It's similar to the Sky Dance Technique in the dragon ball."
Sun Mo made a request. "After activating it, I'll be able to soar in the sky."
"I'm sorry, I can't do it!"
The system's reply was stiff and cold.
Sun Mo had already guessed this result. If not, he would have gotten the system to design this spirit rune long ago. But now, he wanted to understand the reason. "Why not?"
"Because its influence on this world is too great. Host, the help I can provide you is under the premise that it doesn't break the laws of this world."
The system explained.
"For example, the Black Tortoise Spirit Rune and the Lightning Protection Spirit Rune. Many cultivation arts in the Nine Provinces possess similar or even surpassing defensive and offensive abilities. But flying...
"I'm sorry, there's no such divine skill in the Nine Provinces.
Even absolute experts at the Saint Region Realm wouldn't be able to do it. "
Sun Mo's lips twitched. "Then what's with the Soaring Azure Clouds?"
Among the great teacher halos, there was one called the Soaring Azure Clouds.
After activating it, one would feel as if one was stepping on clouds and could stand at any place, including soaring into the sky.
"You basically don't understand the concept of flying. You're like a little bird, able to soar freely in the sky. From then on, the laws of gravity wouldn't be able to restrict your body."
The system patiently explained, "But the Soaring Azure Clouds is different. It only gives you a foothold and allows you to stand in the sky.
"If the halo disappears, you'll fall down. But the Sky Dance Technique can allow you to stay in the sky until your spirit qi is exhausted."
"You're so useless, what use do I have for you?"
Sun Mo spoke in disdain, "Just kneel and rest!"
After that, Sun Mo tossed the spirit rune design template away. He picked up a brush and paper and started to design it himself.
Just like that, five days passed.
The original plan had been delayed.
Bai Wenzhang came.
"My teacher is in seclusion!"
As the eldest disciple, Li Ziqi naturally wouldn't decline to receive everyone.
"Mn!"
Bai Wenzhang indicated that he understood and even felt a little excited. "When he exits seclusion, please inform me immediately!"
He really wanted to know what Teacher Sun was thinking of!
Just like how Bai Wenzhang had burst forth with inspiration, Sun Mo also entered this state. This was the spark of inspiration produced after the thoughts of two ancestor-level ancestors collided.
Hence, it was impossible to build a cart behind closed doors.
Another 30 days passed.
Sun Mo was still bent over the table.
The discarded papers on the ground were now as thick as a palm.
"Are you still not planning to give up?"
The system couldn't take it anymore when it saw Sun Mo still sitting in front of the table and drawing spirit runes that were impossible to succeed, wasting his precious life.
"You might not know what concept it is to design a Royal Sky Spirit Rune in the Nine Provinces. Usually, we would only use two words to describe such a person, Rune Saint.
"It's not that I'm looking down on you, but in the tens of millions of years of Middle-Earth's history, no one has succeeded. Do you think you are the most impressive one?
"Just admit that you are a coward first!
"You mustn't boast like this. If not, it will become your dark history in the future. Anyone who sees it can mock you."
"Yo, you are ignoring me?"
"You're determined to invent it!"
"It's fine, I'm not angry. As your support system, I should have the magnanimity to allow an arrogant and conceited host like you to exist."
"Look at these lines. Idiot, if such simple lines could allow one to fly, then wouldn't the spirit rune masters of the past have lived in vain if they couldn't even think of this?"
"You are still not giving up?"
"Ziqi? Is Ziqi here? Come and pour a cup of coffee for your teacher. Pour a cup of cappuccino! "
"Yo, you actually stopped? Is it completed? "
"Come, start your spirit rune show! Activate, activate, beautiful, inject spirit qi... "
"You want to complete such a difficult operation like flying with just 17 lines of spirit runes? Are you dreaming? If you can fly today, I'll! On the spot! I'll give you 100 great teacher halos! "
Just as the system's chatter was still ear-piercing, the spirit rune paper that Sun Mo had channeled spirit qi into glowed with a faint blue glow. After that, the spirit runes on it rose vertically and floated up.
"Ga..."
The system was stunned.
"Is this caused by the wind?"
However, the bedroom's door and window weren't opened.
(It... it can't be, right?)
(Sun Mo really completed a flying spirit rune?)
"How is it?"
Sun Mo teased.
"I... I... I, the great host's spirit rune skills are number one in the Nine Provinces!"
The system shouted.
(Forget it, I'll suck up to it first.)
The system's horizons were broadened today.
(You are the number one spirit rune master in the Nine Provinces!)
(I said it!)
(Whoever isn't convinced, I'll smash their heads.)
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo laughed lightly. He leaned back on the chair.
After thinking at full force for over a month, his mental energy had been greatly depleted, causing him to feel very fatigued. However, the results were very gratifying.
Actually, Sun Mo had wanted a flying spirit rune since a long time ago. However, he knew that there were many peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts in the entire Nine Provinces, but among them, there were very few that were related to movement techniques. As for flying, it was simply a pipe dream.
Hence, Sun Mo gave up.
At that time, when he saw the metal puppet flying around, Sun Mo didn't think much of it. However, when Qin Yaoguang said 'Teacher, this thing can actually fly!' , it reminded him.
Hence, Sun Mo turned his attention to the runes on the surface of the metal puppet that emitted a faint blue light. He didn't expect that a portion of them really had the effect of floating.
Sun Mo immediately started experimenting.
He realized that it was useless to simply copy.
Because these runes not only had the effect of flying, but they also had other effects. However, Sun Mo hadn't fully understood them until now. There was no solution to this. He couldn't copy them and could only settle for the next best thing.
Hence, Sun Mo started to design his own spirit runes based on them.
During this period of time in the Dragonspirit Manor, Sun Mo had seen many ancient spirit runes and had an in-depth discussion with Bai Wenzhang. He had also personally witnessed Bai Wenzhang creating the spirit rune cannon from nothing.
The increase in his knowledge and experience was simply too great. Finally, Sun Mo's accumulations erupted and he borrowed the opportunity of the metal puppet to complete the design of the flying spirit rune.
One could say that this was the crystallization of aptitude, wisdom, hard work, etc.
"How's its effect? After humans use it, can they fly like swallows? "
The system was curious.
"It's not enough yet. The current version can at most allow people to float."
Sun Mo sighed.
"It's already good enough to be able to reach this level after a little over a month."
The system praised, "In any case, now that I have a train of thought, I can continue to upgrade it in the future!"
"Mn!"
Sun Mo was tired. At the very least, he temporarily didn't wish to continue researching spirit runes.
