Chapter Thirty-Seven: Reencountering Mo Tu Sect

  The crowd looked on in shock as a man descended from the sky upside down, and it was none other than Du Fei, who had just been chased by Li Zhen.

  Du Fei's fists heavily struck the ground, and only saw the ground rapidly transmitting several electric currents towards the panicked crowd. The momentum was so fierce that a group of people were caught off guard, and everyone who received Du Fei's electric attack cried out "Ah" and fell to the ground. Du Fei saw that the crowd had been knocked down by his own electric current, and with lightning speed, he quickly ran to where the Unicorn Horse was, picked it up, and flew into the sky, rapidly escaping from the crowd's line of sight. The whole thing happened in just a few breaths, and Du Fei's attack didn't leave much harm for the crowd, only using thunder and lightning to knock them down, so he could take advantage of the situation to rescue the Unicorn Horse. The crowd got up one after another, staring viciously at the direction where Du Fei had left, cursing loudly without stopping.

  At this time, Li Zhen also rushed back and saw that his students were in a sorry state, so he asked: "What's wrong with you?"

  "Teacher Li, the students are incompetent. Just now when you were chasing after that guy, he turned back and launched a sneak attack on us, and we didn't have time to defend ourselves and got hurt. That lone horned horse was also taken away by that scoundrel." Liu Wen said as he knelt down on one knee, looking like he had done something wrong. The other students seeing Liu Wen kneeling down to apologize also followed suit and knelt down on the ground, not daring to speak up.

  "Bastard, next time if I see that little brat again, I'll have to tear him apart!" Li Zhen roared with anger, his fists clenched and veins bulging on his forehead. After a while, he calmed down and looked at the students kneeling on the ground: "Forget it, get up. This isn't your fault, it's just that little bastard is too cunning. Even I was deceived by him. Just take this as a lesson for your trip to temper yourselves."

  Everyone saw that Li Zhen was no longer angry and also let out a sigh of relief as they stood up. Liu Wen, who was in charge, asked softly: "Teacher, it's impossible for that guy to be a master of the Inverse Empty Realm, right? I think he's too young to be one."

  "That guy has a flying treasure on him, and something that can conceal his aura. Even I couldn't see through his strength. I estimate his cultivation is about the same as yours. Just now in the sky, I used my yuanqi to suppress him without testing him, but unexpectedly he couldn't withstand it." Li Zhen said somewhat begrudgingly.

  "I think this kid should be a master of the Thunder Element, he just used the Thunder Element's martial skills when he was sneaking up on us." Liu Wen looked at Li Zhen with respect.

  "Oh, is that so? Well, next time I meet this little brat, I'll take care of him. This matter must not be mentioned to anyone, remember." Li Zhen's tone was exceptionally cold and stern, as if warning everyone of the severe consequences of leaking the information.

  "Yes, teacher." everyone said in unison.

  "Let's go, we'll continue our training." Li Zhen finished speaking and led the crowd away.

  Inside the Benevolent Father's Pavilion:

  Du Fei sat panting heavily on the chair, saying: "Luckily, I was just attacked by Old Zhang's stones in mid-air a few times. My body hurts so much. The power of the Inverse Sky Realm is indeed not to be underestimated." Just now, when Li Zhen was chasing Du Fei, he kept launching elemental martial skills from behind Du Fei. Since he had to chase Du Fei and launch martial skills at the same time, Li Zhen could only use some lower-level martial skills to attack Du Fei. As a master of earth elements, Li Zhen used stones condensed from earth elements to attack Du Fei during the pursuit. Du Fei dodged left and right but was still hit by the stones. Now his back is covered with bruises, but Du Fei has grown accustomed to such minor injuries and didn't pay much attention to them.

  Du Fei rested for a moment, then got up and walked to the side of the unicorn horse. The unicorn horse saw Du Fei walking towards it and excitedly ran towards him, nuzzling and leaning against him affectionately, expressing its gratitude for Du Fei's lifesaving kindness. Du Fei was also delighted and smiled with joy.

  "Ah, how was it? Wasn't my performance just now impressive?" Du Fei said, looking at the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "You little brat, you're just lucky. If I hadn't helped you, you wouldn't have had the guts to be arrogant in front of the Inverse Space Boundary. You don't even feel ashamed." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Your grandfather's, I was just blindly listening to you earlier, and now my back is all injured. Look." As he spoke, Du Fei pulled out the Wordless Heavenly Book from his own back, lifting up his jacket.

  "This little injury is nothing for you, kid. You're always getting hurt anyway, what's this little injury to you?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Never mind, never mind, I won't mention it to you. Do you think that guy will find his way here? I think he hated me to death just now." Du Fei asked doubtfully.

  "What's wrong, scared? You said you were brave, didn't you?" asked Wu Zi Tian Shu.

  "It's not that one can be bold and do anything, after all, a careful sailor can sail for ten thousand years." Du Fei sighed.

  "Don't worry, with the maze and seal set up by your Uncle Huang's strength outside, it's impossible to break through without a cultivation level of at least five levels in the Fusion Realm," wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Oh, then I can focus on healing and practicing my skills inside." As soon as he finished speaking, Du Fei walked to the bedside, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice his skills and heal his injuries.

  On the second day's early morning, when all things were revived, a loud shout echoed through the Cifu Pavilion. Du Fei had already gotten up early to practice, and after using the Tianyuan Jue's Returning to the Origin segment's healing method, Du Fei was now practicing with a refreshed and spirited demeanor.

  Every day, Du Fei's rest was relatively regular. He got up on time and rested for two hours. The first thing he did after getting up was to practice the Tianyuan Jue. After practicing the Tianyuan Jue for two hours, he would then practice martial arts for another two hours. Around noon, he would go out of the Cifu Pavilion to find a Yuan beast to engage in actual combat. He would be gone for about four hours and when he returned, he would spend the last two hours treating his injuries and relaxing. Today was no exception as Du Fei went out again, leaving Dujiao and Xiaohei alone in the Cifu Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Xiaohei and Dujiao got along quite well together.

  Du Fei was in a particularly good mood today, whistling as he walked. He swaggered through the forest, and many low-level yuan beasts saw him and ran away quickly to avoid him, because Du Fei had already become notorious as a little tyrant in the surrounding forests of Cifu Pavilion, and all the low-level yuan beasts around here had been beaten by him before and were afraid of him.

  As he walked, Du Fei impatiently took out the Wordless Heavenly Book and said, "Use flying, I want to find the Yuan Beast quickly, feeling very good today." As he spoke, the Wordless Heavenly Book had already stuck to his left arm. With a whooshing sound, he flew into the air, continuing to whistle as he looked down at the forest below with a smug expression. Suddenly, Du Fei's eyes widened as he stared at the spot below him where white smoke was slowly rising. He cautiously stopped flying and entered a nearby forest not far from where the white smoke was rising.

  "How could there be smoke rising? Could it be that someone, surely not Li Zhen's group again. It can't be such a coincidence." Du Fei asked in a low voice.

  "No, it seems to be another group of people, not like those guys from yesterday. Those guys seem to be eating now, and they're quite bold, daring to start a fire in this forest without fear of attracting fierce primals. What a bunch of idiots." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Oh, I haven't even seen you yet and I knew it wasn't Li Zhen. How did you know?" Du Fei asked in doubt.

  "The aura is different, everyone's aura is unique, I can distinguish each person's aura, and I sensed that the group of people was not Li Zhen's group from yesterday." The wordless heavenly book wrote.

  "Why are there more and more people in this forest now, it's strange?" Du Fei muttered to himself. "Never mind, let's go take a look." After finishing speaking, Du Fei sprang up lightly and slowly approached the line of people in front.

  "Hey, Master, how long are we going to stay in this forest? Among the five practice teams sent by Motu Sect this time, which team do you think has a chance to get first place?" The speaker was a girl who looked about 15 or 16 years old, with a sweet and beautiful voice. Du Fei, who was lying on a nearby pile of grass, looking ahead, also slightly startled when he heard the girl's words: "Motu Sect again!?"

  "Hehe, I think we have a good chance of getting first place. Who else could possibly beat us? Our group is known as the genius group of Mo Tu Sect after all! Sister, don't you even have this bit of confidence?" The speaker was a sturdy-looking young man, but his youthful appearance betrayed his age, looking to be around fifteen or sixteen years old.

  "Don't be too proud, although you are stronger than other groups, don't be too arrogant either. This Cursed Mountain Range is not a place for your usual training, the danger level here is beyond your imagination. You must be careful and not act impulsively." The speaker was a middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, slender in build, with a somewhat sinister and cunning appearance.

  Du Fei gazed at the scene before him and said in a low voice, "Huh, take a look at what kind of strength these guys have. From their tone, it seems like they're talking about something being first place or whatever, and yesterday's group seemed to be from some sect called Mo Tu."

  After half a day of silence, the Wordless Heavenly Book began to display several lines of text. Du Fei eagerly looked at it: "The leading man's strength is Inverse Void Third Grade, he is a Wood Element Control Master. The girl's strength seems to be around Control Eighth Grade, she is a Tian Xing Walker, her elements are Fire and Wood. The robust young man is also a Tian Xing Walker, his strength is around Control Ninth Grade, his elements are Metal and Wind. The remaining three people's strengths are all around Control Seventh Grade, their elements are respectively Fire, Fire, and Earth."

  "Oh, and there were originally two more Heavenly Travelers, I'll deal with you later." Du Fei smiled somewhat sinisterly...
