"Qin Haoyu, from the Heavenly Dao Academy of the Great Qin Dynasty, is born with Scorg Light Eyes. His eyes emit intense light capable of breaking illusions and temporarily blinding others..."

  "Yan Ling, from the Heavenly Dao Academy of the Great Wind Nation, has a natural Wind Spirit Physique, granting her agility araordinary speed when moving with the wind..."

  "Fan Quan, from the Heavenly Dao Academy of Thousand Wood City, is born with Phantom Eyes. When activated, they trap others in illusions..."

  "Lei Gang, from the Heavenly Dao Academy of Heavenly Battle City, is born with Iron Arms. His arms are as hard as steel, with unparalleled strength, capable of destroying anything in his path..."

  Listening to these descriptions, both Feng and Li Xinyue felt geonishment, as if their horizons had been broadened.

  "So this is what they mean by 'innately extraordinary'..." Feng muttered to himself.

  Scorg Light Eyes, Wind Spirit Physique, Phantom Eyes, Iron Arms… none of these were traits that ordinary people could ever possess.

  Of course, having exceptional prehension abilities or a physique that allows fh-efficy absorption of medial pills could also barely t as a form of iraordinariness.

  "I’d really love to witness it firsthand right now," Feng thought to himself, his eyes filled with anticipation.

  "Brother , those with iraordinariness are certainly destio be unrivaled talents. Their strength and energy are far more refined and powerful than ordinary warriors," Jin Hongdang said with a smile. "The person you cshed with earlier, their energy was shogly densed—far surpassing someo the ninth transformation of body refi's peak. It wouldn’t be surprising if they also had iraordinariness."

  Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

  He hadn’t sidered that Ye Yunqi might be innately extraordinary.

  "However, Brother , with your exceptional prehension and physique that excels at refining medial pills, you’re not inferior to these extraordinary individuals," Jin Hongdang added with a grin. "From that csh earlier, it was clear you weren’t using your full strength, right?"

  Feng nodded without hesitation.

  He had only used the Wind Shadow Nine Swords teique and hadn’t revealed his movement teiques, footwork, the Wind Shadow Ten Swords, or the ultimate Wind Shadow Killing Strike.

  Of course, Feng also khat Ye Yunqi hadn’t gone all out either.

  But if it came down to a full-fledged battle, Feng wouldn’t shrink back. In fact, he was now more curious—did Ye Yunqi truly have iraordinariness? If so, what exactly was it?

  Acc to Jin Hongdang, some forms of extraordinariness are outwardly obvious and easy to perceive, while others are more restrained and remain ued unless deliberately activated.

  "Brother Jin, do you have an iraordinariness as well?" Feng suddenly asked.

  Jin Hongdang chuckled knowingly but didn’t answer. Even so, Feng uood the implication.

  After some lighthearted versation, the two parted ways.

  " Feng, I’ve already mastered the eighth form of the Wind Shadow Sword Teique, but I ’t seem to grasp the key to the ninth form," Li Xinyue said as they walked together. She had once been Feng’s sword teique instructor, but now she found herself asking him fuidance, feeling slightly embarrassed.

  "The key to the Wind Shadow Sword Teique lies in…" Feng began without hesitation, immediately expining it iail.

  Having pushed the Wind Shadow Sword Teique to the level of the Wind Shadow Ten Swords and eveimate Wind Shadow Killing Strike, Feng's uanding of the teique had long surpassed that of its creator.

  Feng dissected the teique’s intricacies with crity, presenting them to Li Xinyue in a simple and direct manner. His expnation allowed her to gain new and deeper insights into the sword teique.

  He didn’t hold anything baot only did he fully expin the secrets of the ninth form, but he also shared the principles behind the tenth form and the Wind Shadow Killing Strike.

  To Feng, Li Xinyue had stood by him and supported him during his most difficult times. Her help was a tremendous kindness.

  No matter how remarkable the Wind Shadow Ten Swords and Killing Strike were, they paled in parison to her unwavering loyalty and support.

  " Feng, you’ve pushed the Wind Shadow Sword Teique to su extent..." Li Xinyue was utterly stunned as she absorbed his teags, gasping in disbelief. She had thought she had already overestimated Feng’s abilities, but now she realized that she had still uimated him.

  Her emotions were a mix of plexity and joy.

  "If there’s anything else you don’t uand, feel free to ask," Feng said after finishing his expnation.

  "Alright," Li Xinyue replied. Then, after a beat, she added, "But from now on, you ’t call me ‘Instructor’ anymore."

  "Why?" Feng asked, puzzled.

  "We’re no lo the Heavenly Dao Academy; now we’re both disciples heading for the sele at the Heavenly Dao Sect," Li Xinyue said pyfully. "Besides, even though I taught you the Wind Shadow Sword Teique before, now you’re the oeag it to me. Should I start calling you ‘Instructor’ instead?"

  "Uh…" Feng was momentarily taken aback befhing. "In that case, I’ll call you Sister Yue from now on."

  "Alright," Li Xinyue responded with a smile in her eyes.

  Ba their respective s aboard the Sky-Patrolling Giant Ship, Feng immersed himself in refining his sword teiques, while Li Xinyue focused on mastering the Wind Shadow Nine Swords, determio perfect it before reag the Heavenly Dao Sect.

  As for the tenth form and the ultimate Killing Strike, she didn’t dare dream of mastering them yet.

  Meanwhile, in another , Yang Xuening, her swelling having subsided thanks to medial oi, still wore a face full of venomous rese.

  "Elder Yun, we ’t let Feng tio live. Otherwise, he’ll bee a serious problem," she said.

  "Don’t worry. Though fighting is forbidden aboard the Sky-Patrolling Giant Ship, once we reach the Heavenly Dao Sect sele, I’ll at least secure a position as a core disciple. Even if Fes lucky, he’ll at best bee an inner disciple. What could someone like him possibly do to me?" Ye Yunqi replied with an arrogant smile. "Besides, there are plenty of my Ye family members in the Heavenly Dao Sect, many of whom hold prestigious positions."

  "Exactly. Feng is just a nobody from a small froown. He won’t have a foothold in the sect," Yang Xuening sneered coldly. "By then, he’ll know what regret and despair feel like. When Feng is ered, we’ll make sure to eliminate his entire family as well."

  Days passed, and the Sky-Patrolling Giant Ship tio pick up new disciples from various Heavenly Dao Academies at each stop.

  Among the newers was one whose eyes gleamed faintly with golden light, sharp and pierg. Just meeting their gaze felt like being stabbed by a bde, causing a stinging pain in one’s own eyes.

  "A Golden Spirit Body!" Jin Hongdang remarked from afar, narrowing his small eyes before breaking into a smile. "More and more extraordinary individuals are appearing."

  Half a month ter, the Sky-Patrolling Giant Ship finally approached its destination.

  "We’re almost there," Li Xinyue said, standing alongside Feng on the deck with the other disciples, all gazing forward.

  Ahead of them stood a t, a mountain, its majestic peak pierg the clouds and seemingly holding up the heavens themselves. Its grandeur suppressed all else around it.

  The mountain was surrounded by endless seas of clouds, illuminated by radiant light, creating a stunning and mystical se that seemed to tain boundless, indescribable mysteries.

  Floating isnds hovered around the a mountain like stars encirg the moon.

  Giant, graceful birds soared through the clouds, pying among the floating isnds, their sharp cries eg with joy.

  It was a sight straight out of a celestial realm.

  The disciples from the hundreds of Heavenly Dao Academies aboard the Sky-Patrolling Giant Ship, many of whom had never seen su awe-inspiring se, were left utterly dumbfounded.

  Even those with iraordinariness were rendered speechless, their jaws sck with disbelief.

  The ship tio weave through the clouds, passing one floating isnd after another, heading straight for the a mountain that seemed to hold up the heavens.

  The closer they got, the more overwhelming the mountain’s a and majestic aura became.

  Before this colossal mountain, the thousaer-long ship seemed like a mere speck, and the disciples aboard, insignifit as dust.

  " Feng, we must pass the seles and officially bee disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect so we train here," Li Xinyue said, taking a deep breath to steady herself. Her tone was firm and resolute.

  Feng’s eyes shoh determination, fully agreeing with her.

  Having seen such grandeur, how could o yearn to be part of it? Now that they had wit with their owhere was n back.

  "Seles…"

  At the same time, Feng’s curiosity about the uping trials grew stronger and stronger.
