The afternoon sun covered the sprawling high-rise buildings and bustling streets of Dongjiang City. Apart from the slightly more frequent appearances of some official personnel, the city appeared no different from usual.
But if someone were using a skill like True Vision or conducting infrared imaging, there's a chance they might discover an invisible figure leaping and flying among the tall buildings, having a great time.
"This is amazing! Who would've thought that just getting started with the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill could allow me to leap several hundred meters at will! It's almost like flying!"
This invisible man was none other than Wang Zhifan. He had started cultivating the outstanding-grade Lightweight Wind Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill at around ten o'clock that morning. Unexpectedly, it took him only a few hours to barely get started, and then, after continuous practice outside, he successfully advanced the cultivation technique to Lv1, a pace so astounding it far exceeded his expectations.
"Logically, the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill has cultivation bonuses only for Assassin-class players. How did I, a Warrior-class player, manage to grasp the basics within a few hours... It must be because my physical condition is far beyond that of an ordinary person, along with innate talents like the Power of Storms."
Wang Zhifan always liked to ponder unexpected occurrences, thinking that his superior conditions enabled such smooth progress. Otherwise, according to the cultivation technique's inherited information, it was quite challenging for an average person to get started, as understanding wind and thunder would stump many lacking talent, let alone thinking of advancing to higher realms.
"Entry-level Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill allows me to surpass the level of advanced lightweight skills found in Wuxia novels. Now, whether I'm high up in the trees or on rooftops, I move with ease, consuming little stamina, and even traversing water surfaces presents no challenge. The next training direction is to truly walk on air, not just glide a few hundred meters as I do now."
As he leaped swiftly from the rooftop of a skyscraper, landing lightly while heading towards the rooftop of another, slightly lower building hundreds of meters away, Wang Zhifan began to explore the rhythm and feel of this aerial stride.
Currently, he couldn't truly walk on air. He could only sprint through the air from higher positions to lower ones. When he could run along a diagonal line, stepping on air from low to high places, his Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill would advance to Lv2.
The cultivation process might sound a bit dull, but in reality, this super parkour-style training was quite interesting, gradually drawing Wang Zhifan into its spell, treating it as a kind of entertainment.
However, just when he was still enjoying himself darting through the streets of Dongjiang City, he suddenly sensed something reacting in his pocket space: the Guest Minister Token from the Wuji Sect.
"Damn! I forgot to help the Wuji Sect fight the Devil Sect!"
Wang Zhifan instantly recalled the situation reflexively. Considering the time discrepancy between the real world and the Wuji Sect World, it was indeed the day he had agreed upon with Wuji Sect. He had just spent too much time in the dungeon and had long forgotten about it.
"I'm in pretty good shape right now, let's head over directly."
Without much hesitation, he stepped on the air over a street, standing on a balcony, and then took out the black-bordered gold Wuji Sect Guest Minister Token to enter the corresponding Mystical World.
When his form reappeared at the node of this world where he last arrived, which was in Pingwu City, he remained in his invisible state wearing the Wind Concealing Conical Hat. In an alley, he summoned his good partner, the Red Deer Horse, removed the Wind Concealing Conical Hat to exit invisibility, and immediately headed towards Wuji Mountain southeast of Pingwu City.
At this moment, judging by the sun's position in the sky, it should be morning here. Along the way, whether in Pingwu City or on the mountain roads, everything looked much the same as in his memories, letting him know that Wuji Sect had remained relatively stable over the past days without any accidents.
Before long, he rode to the front of the Wuji Sect's main hall, seeing a tall, black-clad young man with his hair in a bun walking out from the hall. The young man cupped his hands in a respectful greeting:
"Mr. Wang, the master is waiting for you in the main hall. Please come in quickly."
"Alright, lead the way."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhifan nodded slightly to him, quickening his pace as he followed the young man into the Wuji Sect's main hall.
Before he even reached the inner hall, he heard Sect Leader Xiong of the Wuji Sect conversing with a woman. As he entered the hall, he saw it was a somewhat severe-looking middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties.
Her features were still pleasant for her age, dressed in simple fish-white satin clothes, with a long ancient zither on her back. Combined with her sharp gaze, she was clearly no ordinary person.
"Mr. Wang! You've finally come! Let me introduce you: this is the Zither Head from the Broken Zither Sect. With her joining us, our Demon Slaying mission is sure to be a great victory!"
Sect Leader Xiong Tianli couldn't conceal his excitement when he saw Wang Zhifan appear, promptly introducing this sharp-looking middle-aged woman to him. He also didn't forget to introduce Wang Zhifan to this expert from the Broken Zither Sect.
"Zither Head, this is our Wuji Sect's Mr. Wang. Don't let his young age fool you; his abilities are equal to ours as sect leaders!"
Xiong Tianli's words were full of praise for Wang Zhifan, considering him on par in strength with the sect leaders.
