Chapter 73 - Arrival at the Hundred Feet GatePingyang City, Central Plaza!
Since Yu Haoran and Wu Zhengjun were not willing to say their goodbyes to their loved ones, Chu Zhongyu was also not willing to waste anymore time, and ordered Huang Zonghua.
"Junior Brother Huang, you just broke through the Wu Zong realm, your soul is still unable to perfectly control the spirit energy, so let me bring the two junior brothers away!"
After grabbing onto Yu Haoran and Wu Zhengjun"s arms respectively, Chu Zhongyu shot up into the sky.
This was the huge gap between the second-rate sect and a top sect!
Within the top sects, Wu Zong and Martial King Realm experts would normally have a flying magic tool. But second-rate sect s, not to mention Wu Zong and Martial King Realm experts, even Martial King Realm experts would not necessarily have their own personal flying magic tools.
Perhaps it was the feeling of flying that diluted the sadness Wu Zhengjun had for his family. His originally ice-cold expression gradually softened.
But to Yu Haoran, being carried away was an extremely uncomfortable thing.
Fortunately, he knew of Chu Zhongyu"s strength. At most, he would only be six hundred kilometers away from Pingyang City, and since his spirit energy was insufficient, he would instead walk around.
Ten minutes later, as Chu Zhongyu"s flying speed got slower and slower, Yu Haoran knew that he had almost reached his limit, and that the uncomfortable feeling in his heart had also reached his limit.
Therefore, he kindly reminded Chu Yu, "Senior Chu, why don"t you go down and rest for a while?"
"Alright!" Not wanting to lose face in front of his two new junior brothers, Chu Zhongyu had been suppressing the spirit energy in his dantian the entire time.
At this time, after hearing Yu Haoran"s reminder, he immediately agreed and quickly descended.
"Junior brother Huang, please take care of the two juniors first. I will recover the elemental energy that I have consumed."
After telling Huang Zonghua, who was following closely behind him, he found an empty and clean place and sat down cross-legged. Then, he took out a Rank 9 spirit stone from his sleeve and started to recuperate his spirit energy with the help of the spirit stone.
Seeing that the spirit stone Chu Zhongyu used to recover his spirit energy was only a Rank 9 spirit stone, Yu Haoran couldn"t help but shake his head.
In the top and first-rate sects, a rank 9 spirit stone was only used as a martial artist as an outer disciple. It was usually used as a cultivation resource for those who wished to meditate.
Even in a second-rate top sect, an expert at the peak of the Wu Zong like Chu Zhongyu would definitely have a rank 8 spirit stone by his side.
But in the Hundred Feet Gate!
"Junior brother Yu, Junior brother Wu, our Hundred Feet Gate is more than 6000 kilometers away from the Pingyang City, on the way back to the sect, we might encounter danger. Senior brother Chu must maintain sufficient soul force to deal with any unexpected dangers."
Speaking to here, Huang Zonghua said with a bit of embarra.s.sment: "So, for the rest of the journey, I"m afraid we need to walk!"
"Senior Brother Huang, Zhengjun and I have never left the Pingyang City, we are very curious about the scenery of the outside world, walking would just satisfy our curiosity." Yu Haoran who understood the real situation comforted him.
"That"s good!" Glancing at Wu Zhengjun, Huang Zonghua realized that he also nodded in agreement with what Yu Haoran had said, and Huang Zonghua secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, according to past habits, after every sect selection, the top and first-rate sects would use magical equipment to leave.
The second-rate, third-rate, and unranked sects chose to leave on foot.
The reason why Chu Zhongyu took the risk of exhausting all his soul force and forcibly carried them out of the Pingyang City was because he hoped that Yu Haoran and Wu Zhengjun would not be disappointed by the way they left.
Secondly, he could also tell that the relationship between Yu Haoran and his family wasn"t very good, so leaving early would help them avoid some unnecessary trouble.
After waiting for nearly two hours, Chu Zhongyu, who was meditating using a Rank 9 spirit stone, finally opened his eyes.
Just from this point, one could tell how enormous Chu Zhongyu"s consumption was.
Chu Zhongyu opened his eyes and first looked at Huang Zonghua. After receiving his signal, Chu Zhongyu heaved a sigh of relief.
After getting up, he greeted Yu Haoran and Wu Zhengjun and asked.
"Junior brother Yu, Junior brother Wu, I wonder if the two of you have cultivated a footwork martial skill?"
The distance from here to Hundred Feet Gate was still close to 6000 kilometers. If it was only by foot, it would take at least a month.
In a month"s time, the Ranking Compet.i.tion s in the sect would probably be done for already, what use was it for him to bring Yu Haoran and back.
Therefore, if he wanted to return to the sect in the shortest time possible, he could only use the footwork skill that increased his speed.
"Brother Chu, I have cultivated a set of high-level yellow-rank Gale Steps, and have already reached mastery. I can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour!"
Yu Haoran was very clear about what Chu Zhongyu meant, so he did not hide the fact that he was well versed in Gale Steps, nor did he hide the fact that he had comprehended the realm of Gale Steps.
"Gale Steps at the Mastery Stage!"
When they heard that Yu Haoran had not only grasped the Gale Steps that the Hundred Feet Gate possessed, but had also cultivated it to the Large Success Realm, both Chu Zhongyu and Huang Zonghua looked at him with faces full of shock.
As experts of the Wu Zong, Chu Zhongyu and Huang Zonghua had both cultivated footwork martial skills, and the footwork martial skills they cultivated were also high grade Yellow Rank.
But even until they were ready, they had only just come into contact with the skin of a Mastery Stage cultivator, so how could they not be shocked?
"My two senior brothers, my physique is biased towards the wind attribute. I have a natural affinity for the Gale Steps. It is normal for me to have such rapid improvements." Shrugging his shoulders, Yu Haoran replied with an indifferent att.i.tude.
"Ai!" Looking at each other, Chu Zhongyu and Huang Zhihua did not say much and could only sigh.
After all, Yu Haoran had already revealed his monstrous insights towards martial skills during the Challenge Compet.i.tion. If not, with just the early stage potential of the Martial Saint, how would he be able to arouse the interest of the experts from the top seven sects?
After thinking through all of these, Chu Zhongyu"s gaze landed on Wu Zhengjun.
Shaking his head, Wu Zhengjun replied expressionlessly: "I have never cultivated any footwork martial skill!"
"Since that"s the case, let me bring Junior Martial Brother Wu, Junior Martial Brother Yu and Junior Martial Brother Huang to follow behind!" Using footwork martial skills to carry someone forward was different from using his spirit and Origin Energy to carry him through the consumption of flying.
With just Wu Zhengjun alone, Chu Zhongyu was completely capable of exhausting and recovering to the point where he was on the same level as Mu Xuanyin. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU))
… ….
Perhaps it was because during this recent period of time, various places were having sect selection compet.i.tions, and with Chu Zhongyu purposely choosing a few secluded places, they did not encounter any trouble on the road ahead.
After running for hundreds of miles, resting for a while, they continued to run and rest. After walking for three days and three nights, they finally reached the sphere of influence of the Hundred Feet Gate.
Until now, when both Chu Zhongyu and Huang Zonghua who had been in a state of nervousness, finally relaxed.
Pointing to the mountain range in front of him, which had hundreds of mountains, Chu Zhongyu said heroically: "Junior Brother Yu, Junior Brother Wu, the mountain range ahead is the sect location of our Hundred Feet Gate!"
"In this mountain range, a total of thirty-eight peaks have been developed by our Hundred Feet Gate, and the peak for the sect entrance is the peak of trials. This is the place where you will be tested for the last time after entering the sect, and where the service disciples and outer sect disciples will live."
"In the other thirty-seven peaks, aside from one that belongs to the Elders, the thirty-six other peaks are occupied by disciples of the thirty-six divisions of the Sect."
As he spoke till here, Chu Zhongyu pointed to a mountain peak at the east side that was near the edge of the mountain range, and said with an excited expression.
"Junior Brother Huang and I, Senior Brother Huang, are the Sword Kings, the Qing Yunfeng who lives in the most eastern side!"
