Chapter 729: The Moonward Clan prepares to go all-out!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Sixty thousand meters per second!

This was not a matter of level but rather a matter of Xia Fei once more taking a large stride in terms of speed!

It had been several years now, and Xia Fei had believed that he had already reached his limit in speed. No matter how hard he worked, he could not increase it further. In the Panhuman Alliance, thirty thousand meters per second was a heaven-defying speed; countless foes had failed to hold out against this speed and had been cut down by Xia Fei!

However, in the Law Realm where experts gathered, thirty thousand meters per second clearly was not enough. If Xia Fei did not have Furball, Peacock Blue, the Blood Crystal, and the Law of Primal Chaos, surviving in the Law Realm would truly be excruciatingly difficult.

The Skywings truly deserved the reputation as supreme experts of speed, and Xia Laoshi deserved his status as this clan’s peerless teacher. In just ten days, Xia Fei’s speed had broken sixty thousand meters per second! He had reached level 8 in the Law Realm’s standards for the speed ability! The next step would be one hundred twenty thousand! This was the highest standard for the speed special ability, the maximum level!

*Whoosh~*

Like a lightning bolt, Xia Fei returned to Windrider Pavilion, an explicable rush of excitement in his heart as he stood in the courtyard.

“Sure enough, the Skywings don’t merely control the Law of Speed. They even have their unique advantages when cultivating abilities that other clans simply can’t compare. Let’s start with this Needlepoint Training Suit you’re using; even I have never heard of some of its functions before,” Oro said with a sigh.

Xia Fei smiled. Oro was talking about this seemingly ordinary soft-form training outfit that Xia Fei was wearing. Underneath the thin layer of highly elastic material were countless short and thin needles, all of them piercing important energy nodes in Xia Fei’s body.

This was the advantage of having energy artificers, for they could design and produce equipment that used Origin Energy to wash the body constantly, strengthening the bones and making the muscles more flexible while sending large amounts of energy into the torso.

An ordinary artificer might be able to insert law power into the equipment, but they would be unable to add in energy. The Skywing Clan’s success was based not just on their talent and effort but also on the numerous support experts serving the clan.

In the Law Realm, warriors were never solitary existences. Their energy was provided by the crystals created by energy masters, their armor was meticulously constructed by artificers, their injuries were treated by apothecaries, and so on.

This was a contest in all aspects. Whichever clan had the more numerous and stronger support warriors would eventually win the day. While the Skywing Clan had a carefree nature, it had many erudite and talented individuals. Thus, not only did it have powerful warriors, it was also without peer when it came to support!

Xia Fei smugly asked, “You’re not envying the Skywings, are you?”

Oro pursed his lips. “What do I have to be jealous of? Species are different, and their natures are even more different. Even if I give my clan the same conditions, we still won’t be able to produce any sort of Lionheart speed ability expert. After all, our talents lie in the Law of Darkness. We have no reason to give up on our specialty and study speed, which we aren’t good at in the slightest.

“You should be the one worrying. Xia Laoshi is incredibly greedy. He’s probably charging you crazy amounts for every second that you use this training uniform! Haha! The longer you stay in Windrider Pavilion, the closer you get to bankruptcy.”

Oro naughtily smiled while Xia Fei could not help but frown. In these ten days, he had essentially realized just how much Xia Laoshi loved money. The day before yesterday, Xia Fei had spotted a nectarine tree in the rear courtyard, bright fruits hanging from its branches. He picked two to try them out, but he ended up paying two hundred grade 4 crystals to Xia Laoshi!

It must be understood that two hundred grade 4 crystals could buy enough nectarines to pack the entire Windrider Pavilion! There was nothing in this place that did not cost money. Even taking a bath had a hot water fee! Once the time came to settle the bill, Xia Fei would definitely be paying through the nose!

Shaking his head, Xia Fei solemnly said, “Money is a good thing, and I like it, too, but there are some things that money can’t buy. I’m not a small-minded person. As long as the money spent is worth it, I don’t even mind going bankrupt!”

Oro nodded in satisfaction. A man with great ambitions had to act a certain way, and being obsessed with money would make one shortsighted. In this world, payment would always have its reward, and those with farther vision would more easily succeed.

That was when Xia Laoshi emerged from the room with a smile and walked up to Xia Fei, seemingly very happy.

“Sixty thousand meters per second, and that’s completely based on the power of your ability, not using the Law of Speed at all! Xia Fei, this old man is very gratified by your progress. Right now, you have two choices: One, continue training your ability until you hit level 9 and reach the limit of the ability. Two, start learning the Law of Speed now and give up on your ability,” Xia Laoshi said, his eyes flashing.

“I must warn you: Once you close off your ability and enter the domain of law power, you’ll never be able to return. You can’t start learning a law and then turn around to work on your ability. There are only twenty days left until the appointed battle with the Moonward Clan. Starting to study the law will make you improve as quickly as impossible, but giving up on your ability will cast a shadow on the cultivation of your law, and you won’t be able to reach the strongest level possible.”

Xia Laoshi stared at Xia Fei. “The choice is entirely up to you.”

Xia Fei blurted out almost without a thought, “I wanna continue cultivating my ability until the end!”

Xia Fei would never be able to sacrifice his future to deal with the present. The path ahead was still very long, and there was no reason to lose out on the big picture over minor reasons.

Xia Laoshi heartily laughed. “You chose a very difficult path for yourself, but if you really manage to walk this path, it will be of enormous help to your future! Rest ten minutes and then we start training again!”

Xia Fei sternly nodded. “I’ve thought of something. Staying at Windrider Pavilion is undoubtedly a major boon. The patriarch and Senior Xia Tian are the main force in the upcoming decisive battle, so they’ll probably improve way better if they also come to Windrider Pavilion.”

Xia Fei was trying to say that, since the upcoming battle with the Moonwards concerned the welfare of the entire clan, Xia Laoshi should not pursue his debts and make it so that Xia Buyun and Xia Tian dared not to show up at Windrider Pavilion.

Xia Laoshi smiled. “One of the reasons they don’t come to Windrider Pavilion is that they’re worried I’ll go after them for their debts, but another reason is that they’re already Law Overlords, so Windrider Pavilion is no longer useful to them.”

Xia Fei was startled. “Is your venerable self saying that there’s a limit to the energy artificary system?”

“Correct,” Xia Laoshi sternly said. “You’ve just entered the Law Emperor level, and you’ve never worked directly with Origin Energy before, so you’re currently in a period of high-speed growth. Once your body has adapted to the energy artificary system, your growth rate will slow down. Use this time well and don’t think about it too much! Charge! Charge! Charge!”

...

The Skywing members were also preparing for the battle. Xia Fei, Xia Tian, and Xia Buyun were all in secluded cultivation. The Moonward Clan had also not given up on putting up a final struggle.

The Moon Reaching House, the residence of the Ward family’s patriarch.

White Ward had died in battle, and Golcen Ward had temporarily taken up residence in this house as the acting patriarch.

Today, on the same day that Xia Fei broke to level 8 as an ability user, a mysterious guest arrived at the Moon Reaching House. Golcen Ward welcomed him into the parlor and closed the door so that they could talk alone. Even his brother, Ulcen Ward, was not allowed to listen in. This was just how important this mysterious person was!

Once all the doors were closed, Golcen Ward took his seat down below, his attitude extremely respectful.

The patriarch’s seat was taken by the white-skinned old man. His chin was clean, free of even the faintest whisker, his demeanor was neither that of a man or a woman, and he drank his tea elegantly. He was very much like a eunuch.

“Grandpa Plomir, why are you here? Does the grand ancestor have a message?” Golcen Ward was deferential when he asked this question. In fact, he even slightly bowed. He had been to the God Race before, so he was somewhat acquainted with the grand ancestors up there.

This old man was Plomir Ward, one of the grand ancestor’s trusted aides. Let alone in White Horse Constellation, even in the God Race, Plomir Ward was a rather prestigious existence. Since this old man had taken a great risk in coming to Moon Reaching House, Golcen Ward naturally had to be respectful toward him.

Once Plomir Ward had put on enough airs, he slightly nodded and replied, “Correct. The grand ancestor personally ordered me to come down. You juniors truly can’t let a person relax, inexplicably choosing to provoke the Skywings. Do you realize how unreasonable that person from their clan is? Up there, whenever our grand ancestor comes across that one from the Skywings, he has to keep his distance in fear of getting involved with him.”

Golcen Ward creased his brows and said nothing. He had not been in White Horse Constellation when the incident took place, so he had no understanding of the details. He was somewhat unwilling to hear these complaints from their grand ancestors.

“The grand ancestor wanted me to tell you that if you lose this time, you and your brother shouldn’t even dream about climbing upward,” Plomir Ward nonchalantly said. His voice was strange, sounding like neither man nor woman, and just listening to it made one’s hair stand on end.

Golcen Ward was stunned. Plomir Ward’s meaning was very clear. If he lost, he would no longer be able to enter the God Race!

To martial artists, being unable to enter the higher realm of the universe was undoubtedly a source of great suffering.

Seeing Golcen Ward scowl, Plomir paused and then continued speaking. “Don’t think that this is purely a matter of White Horse Constellation. It’s an absolute mess up there as well. Do you know what sort of price our grand ancestor had to pay to reach this settlement? Without this stalling tactic, you, useless things, would’ve been already swept out of the Law Realm!

“There’s no second choice in this battle. You can only win, not lose! If you win, that old stubborn fellow from the Skywings will be furious and will continue to cause us trouble, but reason will be on our side, and no one will help the Skywings. Ultimately, their entire clan will have to withdraw from the Law Realm!

“But if you lose.” Plomir Ward’s gaze turned dark. “If you lose, the grand ancestor will consider you all abandoned chess pieces. When the entire clan is forced to leave against its will, don’t blame the grand ancestor for not giving you another chance.”

Plomir’s odd voice caused Golcen Ward to get goosebumps. He had treated Qin Huang as an abandoned chess piece, but to his surprise, was he not himself being treated as a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time by those old monsters up there?

When he thought about how the Skywings would protect their people to the death and then saw how coolly his own clan treated him, Golcen Ward felt his heart chill.

Smiling, Plomir Ward took out two bottles of black liquid and handed them to Golcen Ward.

“If things are looking dicey, drink this. Remember: Defeat is not an option! Even if you die, you must drag down the Skywings with you!” Plomir Ward said, a savage glint in his eyes.
