Zhou Tong quickly acquired a map of the nearby area from Yichuan. Picking up a metal sword, he left the training grounds.
Yichuan looked at Zhou Tong's departing back and sighed slightly.
"Father, what's wrong?" Ji Ning asked.
"What a pity!" Yichuan shook his head. "I originally wanted to use our Ji clan's sword techniques to keep him here, so that he could train by your side. It seems I underestimated him …"
"Keep him by my side …" Ji Ning instantly understood what his father was thinking.
His father wasn't just interested in this person's auspicious phoenix status; it was also for his own sake.
Yichuan hoped that he could use human techniques to keep him here, so that he could train by his son's side. Yichuan knew very well that things like sword techniques, archery, and even footwork weren't the same as training. They required a large amount of practice to form muscle memory.
If this person really did as Yichuan had predicted and trained by his son's side, then in the future, it was very likely that they would have a relationship similar to that of brothers and companions.
With an auspicious phoenix blessed by the heavens as a companion, one could imagine what sort of benefits his son would receive in the future.
But Yichuan had miscalculated. He hadn't expected that Zhou Tong would be this powerful. With just a glance, he had trained his sword techniques to such a level.
"However, this is also good!" Yichuan couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his heart.
Fortunately, this person's performance was so astonishing that he couldn't say anything to keep him here.
Otherwise, if he really did let such an astonishing monster train by his son's side, his son's confidence would be shattered to an unimaginable degree.
A practitioner could temporarily not have power, but he definitely had to have confidence and an unyielding heart. If he didn't even have confidence, then no matter how talented he was, he would be nothing more than a piece of trash.
At the same time, after Zhou Tong left the training grounds, he left the city as well.
"Yichuan, oh, Yichuan. You really are taking great pains for your son!" Zhou Tong thought back to that scene, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Given his experience, how could he not see Yichuan's intentions?
It was nothing more than the hope that he and Ji Ning would grow up together and watch out for each other in the future.
However, Zhou Tong didn't have the time to wait for Ji Ning to grow. Given his own rate of growth, it was hard to say how strong he would be in the future, but before he became a World-level expert, he would definitely surpass Ji Ning. In fact, he would surpass Ji Ning by a large margin.
"However, it's about time. It is time to go inherit Daoist Threelives' underwater estate!" Zhou Tong glanced at the map, immediately focusing on the location of Serpentwing Lake.
After leaving the city, Zhou Tong's footsteps became faster and faster. He could hear the wind blowing in his ears. It was as if he was stepping on the wind. His entire being was like a gust of wind blowing through the forest.
"Actually, I can easily create some of the low-level sword-arts, footwork, and fist-arts of this world. This is because the foundations and principles of sword-arts, footwork, and fist-arts are all interlinked with each other in every major world. As for the higher levels of sword-arts, footwork, and fist-arts, they are easy to comprehend!" Zhou Tong pondered as he walked.
He was currently using a footwork technique which he had casually created. As he moved forward, his speed grew faster and faster, and the amount of natural energy he was able to draw upon grew greater and greater.
His footwork technique was improving at a rate visible to the naked eye. Not only was he becoming more and more familiar with it, but the level of this footwork technique was also improving along with Zhou Tong's insights into the 'Concept of Wind' of this world.
To be precise, it wasn't insights. Rather, Zhou Tong was transforming the insights he had gained from the Shrouded Heaven world, the Lifelong world, the Coiling Dragon world, and many other worlds into the system and structure of this world.
This process would continue to speed up as his understanding of this world grew deeper and deeper.
His insights into the Concept of Wind grew deeper and deeper, and strands of the Concept of Wind began to gather around him. At first, it really was a gentle breeze. Then, it became a cool breeze. Towards the end, it became a hurricane.
Zhou Tong's entire body was like a hurricane, 'blowing' from West Prefecture City to the shores of Serpentwing Lake.
"Whoooooosh!"
Zhou Tong came to a halt, but the hurricane around him still blew into the air above the surface of the lake. At this moment, the wild wind was blowing, and the waves within Serpentwing Lake began to roil. The area of Serpentwing Lake within a circumference of a hundred kilometers was filled with massive waves that were at least three meters tall.
"This is Serpentwing Lake!" Zhou Tong stared at the massive waves of a hundred kilometers, a hint of eagerness in his eyes. And then, he took a step forward, stepping onto the surface of the lake.
He stepped onto the surface of the lake, but his body didn't sink down. After having trained the [Diagram of the Nine Heavens] of Chi Ming to the peak of the sixth stage, he had long ago gained the ability to control fire and water.
"Rumble!"
Zhou Tong walked across the surface of Serpentwing Lake, completely fearless. Within the surface of the lake, the heads of large green prawns and large black fish would occasionally pop out from beneath the surface of the water, staring at Zhou Tong from afar.
These were the lesser monsters of Serpentwing Lake. They were all at the Houtian level, and some of them weren't even able to transform.
Zhou Tong naturally couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these lesser monsters. He continued forward.
"A human? Doesn't sink when in the water!? "
"Who is he, exactly? Why does he have such an indescribably noble aura?! "
The lesser monsters stared at Zhou Tong, their hearts filled with shock. Just the fact that he was able to walk on water without sinking was enough to stun all of the lesser monsters. As for that aura of his body, it caused all of the lesser monsters to be filled with admiration.
Looking at Zhou Tong, these lesser monsters felt as though they were looking at a natural-born emperor. This sort of feeling wasn't the same sort of dread they had felt when they saw the King of the Underwater Prefecture. Instead, it was a sort of heartfelt, heartfelt admiration.
In fact, as they watched Zhou Tong walk forward, their bodies didn't even move at all. Instead, they just quietly stared at him.
"These lesser monsters' bloodlines are too weak!" Zhou Tong naturally could sense that these lesser monsters were staring at him, and in his heart, he was rather speechless.
Logically speaking, when these lesser monsters of the water encountered a dragon, they should be like this. Dragons were the true rulers of the scales. But their bloodlines were too weak. When they encountered a phoenix like him, they would all be like this.
Soon, Zhou Tong arrived at an island in the center of Serpentwing Lake.
This island wasn't small at all, nearly ten kilometers in circumference. There were many small mountains and rivers on the island.
Riding the wind, every step he took felt as light as a breeze. He had an indescribably relaxed feeling to him. He circled around the island, taking a closer look at the terrain of the island, searching for what he wanted.
Along the way, he saw many lesser monsters of the water race. For example, there were crabs sunbathing on the beach, or there were carps spitting out bubbles in the water. But as soon as the lesser monsters saw Zhou Tong, they were all stunned by the aura of supremacy emanating from his body. They couldn't help but bow in respect.
