A month later.
The time now is one year and five months.
As usual, Xu Ran and Xiaobai were training in the mountain stream, doing so continuously for this entire month.
In the mountain stream.
Xu Ran sat cross-legged in midair amidst the raging wind, around which an air current formed a protective barrier. The originally wild winds in the gorge tirelessly attempted to disturb the orderly and stable airflow.
Eventually, a full quarter-hour passed, and the stable airflow around Xu Ran remained unmoved. Instead, more and more winds within the gorge were assimilated by this stable current, gradually falling under Xu Ran's control.
Finally, after half an hour, the wild winds in the mountain gorge seemed provoked, and blasts of Wind Blades shot out from the depths.
