Now that the person whom Lu Shu and Chen Baili had been most wary of was confirmed dead, Chen Baili suddenly gave a sigh, “Initially, the first thing I planned to do upon my promotion into Cla.s.s A was to capture him. Can’t believe an impressive Cla.s.s B master would come to such an end. The path of cultivation is indeed fraught with dangers and uncertainties.”
Lu Shu chuckled, “If he had the guts to come, then the prospect of being killed should not be ignored. It was utterly his own doings.”
Chen Baili looked at Lu Shu strangely, before reconsidering things and smiled, “You’re right!” He said, “All of you can wait here. We can all leave after I get hold of the Matrix Eye.”
To Chen Baili, he was now already a Cla.s.s A. Some time may be required to locate the Matrix Eye of the remains, but the dangers here were no longer any threat to him.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shu tried to make him stay, “You don’t want to rest a little longer?”
“There’s no need. I am now at my most powerful state.” Chen Baili did not fully understand Lu Shu’s intentions, but still explained patiently. This was a rare display of patience, all stemming from his high regard for Lu Shu.
Lu Shu felt a sharp ache on his tooth. He had held on to a sliver of hope towards the Matrix Eye. After all, the one in Beimang remains was taken away by him.
Now that the old priest had been promoted to Cla.s.s A, even if he were to go in search for the Matrix Eye alone, it would mean that there was nothing more for Lu Shu to do.
Previously, Lu Shu had thought about this before the old priest became a Cla.s.s A…the old priest would choose to first do away with the white man master right? When that happened, Lu Shu could then continue on his way towards the core of the remains to try his luck, since once thrown into the Seal of Lands, he did not have to worry about body searches.
Then it turned out that the white man had died.
Still, Lu Shu did not feel too bad. This trip to the remains was certainly worthwhile.
The third level of Celestial Cloud had been activated, and Concealed Arrow had already coalesced.
The third blue-colored fruit had not been tested to see what effects would it bring. However, looking at how concerned Little Fury was, it must be something extraordinary too.
When the petals fell, he collected eleven pieces. Each petal had the equivalent magical power of ten magical stones. Even if he had no use for it himself, they could be sold. Of course, this had to wait till he finds an appropriate black market.
Finally, he had also obtained the handful of strange white sand, which proved all the more his capabilities.
To Lu Shu, all these were the benefits of real battles.
However, just at that moment, Chen Baili bade them farewell, “I’m hereby leaving to look for the Matrix Eye, all of you…”
He had wanted to tell them to be more careful, but when he thought of Lu Shu’s capabilities, there was no need for caution at all…
“Second Master, you must take care,” Chen Zuan muttered.
Chen Baili gave him a glance, then leapt into the air.
With a loud rumble, the dust on the ground started to part to the sides. All the gra.s.s were flattened by the powerful gust of air. They looked up only to see Chen Baili already a hundred meters up in the air in that short time, his form bird-like as it flew free in the sky, sleeves billowing!
From the air, Chen Baili’s maniacal laughter could be heard, “So this is the Resonation of Heaven and Earth! So this is the Resonation of Heaven and Earth!”
Between laughter, Chen Baili was already flying rapidly towards the center of the remains, leaving a shocked Lu Shu, Lu Xiaoyu and Chen Zuan.
Previously, Chen Baili had once floated into the air above Lu Shu, but Lu Shu thought it was just a usual trick of his and did not think much of it. Only now did he realize that it was not so at all. It turned out that Chen Baili had attained the power of true flying after reaching Cla.s.s A!
Five hundred years ago, the Italian Leonardo Da Vinci had observed closely the structure and functions of a bird’s wings to realize his dream of flying. He finally designed a flying contraption shaped like the wings of a bird. Even though he never truly tried to fly, it had given aviators of later ages great inspirations. It was a giant step taken in the history of human flight.
In 1896, the two German Lilienthal brothers successfully flew to an alt.i.tude of thirty meters for a distance of twenty meters. This record shook the whole world and began a new page in the history of aviation.
Mankind had never given up on their dream of s.p.a.ce flight. Many generations of people had thrown themselves into aviation research, not just of the airplane, but also how to fly into s.p.a.ce.
It was an arduous journey that had lasted hundreds of years to finally arrive at our accomplishments today.
Countless planes take off and land everyday around the world, but who would ever expect human to one day be able to take to the sky without the use of any tool at all?
No need for bird wings, no need for wingsuits, no need for airplane wings. Taking to the blue skies and weave between the fluffy white clouds borne merely by one’s power.
This feeling…Lu Shu looked at the distant horizon where the old priest had disappeared into, how he longed for it too!
If Xiaoyu and he both have this power, no matter how large the world, there would be nowhere they could not reach. All the airfares could be saved!
The airfares are so expensive!
Chen Zuan was seized with terror for a long while, “Lu Shu, my Second Master…”
“Cla.s.s A,” Lu Shu said in all certainty.
“What the heck…” Chen Zuan was thinking that this is the first Cla.s.s A in the world. Did that mean he could do whatever he wished from now on? However, now that he came to think of Second Master’s nature, it would probably be impossible.
But using the connection to flaunt myself should still be possible?
Chen Zuan was now feeling extremely excited. The first Cla.s.s A in the whole world comes from my family!
He really wanted to find someone to share his joy. It was similar to someone who had just bought a sports car and could not wait to drive it around town to flaunt it. With the hood down and social shake out loud, that should be the way!
However, when he turned his head around towards Lu Shu, he found the siblings already seated on the gra.s.s, muttering between themselves.
“Lu Shu, I…”
“If there’s anything, tell me after we return, it isn’t convenient now…”Lu Shu explained.
Chen Zuan was insulted, “Why can’t you say this when I’m not around, or softer so I won’t hear!”
“Lu Shu, I took quite a few photographs. The trees are beautiful at night.”
“Oh, let me have a look. I forgot about taking pictures.”
Chen Zuan suddenly felt totally overlooked. “Hey, the two of you, this is too much!”
“This one is nice,” Lu Shu pointed to the selfie of Lu Xiaoyu with her back towards the s.h.i.+mmering forest.
“I think so too!” Lu Xiaoyu replied, smiling brightly.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +311…”
“Hey, I am still alive!” Chen Zuan suddenly felt very lonely…
“Lu Shu, I am going to choose one for my new profile picture. Which one of these two do you think is better?” Lu Xiaoyu asked as she opened two photographs.
Lu Shu was silent for a moment, “The one behind?”
Lu Xiaoyu uttered a reply. Her face calm, she asked, “So you are saying the first picture isn’t nice?”
“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +37.”
Lu Shu, “???”
