Fang Yu dispersed the frozen ice covering Yu Chi.
He then turned and walked outward, searching for Lu Qing.
After a short while, he found Lu Qing, who looked somewhat uneasy, and said forcefully, "Where's the Magic Equipment?"
Lu Qing gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger, but said nothing.
Seeing that Lu Qing remained silent, Fang Yu added, "What? Trying to go back on what you promised?"
Lu Qing glared at Fang Yu resentfully, but in the end, he still handed over a wooden box.
Taking the box, Fang Yu opened it and examined its contents. Inside lay a pair of palm-sized boots, their surface adorned with cloud-like patterns, glowing with a deep blue hue.
The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the grade was quite high.
Clearly, Lu Qing had never expected to lose, this Magic Equipment had ended up benefiting Fang Yu for nothing.
In the next moment, Fang Yu extended his spiritual power into the boots. The footwear Magic Equipment immediately connected to his soul, leaving a Magic Equipment imprint within his spiritual world.
Once the imprint formed, the boots transformed into streams of light and merged into Fang Yu's body.
With a thought, Fang Yu activated the imprint. The footwear Magic Equipment appeared instantly, no longer palm-sized, but directly embedding onto his feet, fitting perfectly.
Buzz!
A gust of wind rose, lifting the dust from the ground. At that moment, everything stirred.
"Let me test my speed!"
In an instant, Fang Yu stepped forward. His black hair whipped wildly as fierce winds surrounded him. His body shot forward like a rainbow, a streak of green light flashing past.
The buildings on both sides blurred and rapidly receded. Fang Yu dashed forward with a gale in his wake, sand and debris flying along the path.
Mainly because he was too fast, his rapid movement stirred an astonishing airflow.
After testing for about ten seconds, Fang Yu realized that with the footwear Magic Equipment, his speed was astonishing, under normal conditions, it had increased fivefold.
A smile appeared on his face.
With this equipment, he could now cast magic much more safely and had greater confidence when dealing with demon creatures.
Putting away the footwear Magic Equipment, Fang Yu looked at Lu Qing and said with a smile, "Thanks!"
"You're welcome to come again next time!"
"You…"
Lu Qing's face turned green and pale by turns, and he shouted helplessly, "What's wrong with this guy?!"
Fang Yu paid him no mind and turned to leave.
He wandered around, picking up food here and there. Anything delicious, he grabbed and ate until he was full, then drank a beverage.
A moment later, Mu Hou came over and clinked glasses with Fang Yu, laughing heartily and saying that heroes truly emerge young, expressing his admiration.
Not long after, several influential young elites also approached Fang Yu, toasting and befriending him. Someone this strong was worth knowing.
Soon after, the people from Pearl Academy also arrived one by one.
After learning what had happened, Han Yu came over immediately to talk, saying that this matter wasn't over and would definitely cause trouble.
Based on her understanding of Lu Qing, he was the type to hold grudges and would not let things go easily.
Moreover, Lu Qing was also participating in this training, so they needed to be cautious.
"Just a clown," Qin Shuo said dismissively.
"Alright, it's just a small matter. Let's not talk about it, eat first and don't ruin the mood!" Fang Yu said.
"Well done."
"You've got a bit of my youthful style!" Zhang Hao came over.
"My youthful style?"
"Like that time a year ago when you were chased in a demon region and ran all the way from Zhongnan Mountain to the Ancient Capital walls in a sorry state?" Fang Yu teased.
"Shut up! Talking to you is so annoying!"
Zhang Hao was furious, completely fed up, and stopped talking to Fang Yu.
After chatting for a long time, Fang Yu left Aoki Garden.
As for Mu Tingying's invitation, he ignored it, his attitude should already be clear enough.
Returning to the apartment, Fang Yu thoroughly studied all the information about White Crocodile Island before going to sleep.
Early the next morning, the morning light shone across his eyelids. As it gently tapped against them, Fang Yu opened his eyes, blending the lingering haze within with the brightness of the outside world.
"I wonder if mornings at sea have a different kind of charm," Fang Yu murmured softly.
Today was the day to set sail.
To go out to sea, obtain resources, and improve his cultivation.
Deep in Fang Yu's eyes was a trace of anticipation. He stood up, tidied himself, and then stepped out.
After some time, Fang Yu arrived at the main gate of Imperial Capital Academy.
As he was about to look for the Pearl Academy students, he noticed a cold snort ahead.
Fang Yu looked up.
He saw Lu Qing staring at him coldly for a moment before letting out another snort.
Fang Yu approached, his eyes filled with disdain as he said, "You're quite arrogant."
Just a few words.
Yet they instantly stirred Lu Qing's suppressed anger. Aside from Fang Yu, when had he ever been treated like this?
At the same time, Fang Yu's gaze was full of contempt, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
"What? Want another match? Got your Magic Equipment ready?" Fang Yu continued.
"You…"
Several black lines appeared on Lu Qing's forehead as he clenched his fists. In the end, he endured it, though inwardly he was already cursing.
"How boring!"
Seeing Lu Qing's cowardly look, Fang Yu shook his head and left.
After wandering around for a bit, he regrouped with the people from Pearl Academy.
He also didn't see Mu Tingying anywhere—apparently, she wasn't participating in this training.
He had originally been thinking about how to reject her, but it seemed unnecessary now.
A moment later, the team leaders from the four academies appeared. Chen Jingxi asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Yes!"
"It's time to move. The Hunter Union has already gotten wind of this and set out ahead of us, we should hurry as well," Mu Hou said.
"Then let's depart!"
The leaders from Ancient Capital Academy and Sacred Capital Academy echoed.
After that, more than twenty people from the four academies set off in a grand procession, taking a high-speed train to Tianjin, heading toward Tianjin Port.
The sea surged endlessly, vast and magnificent. Waves rolled in with roaring sounds, white spray filling the air, the horizon blending sea and sky into one line.
The Bohai Sea.
Encircled by the lands of Huaxia, it connects to the boundless ocean beyond. Because of its vastness and depth, it is a sea that inspires both awe and fear.
At this moment, a ship rumbled forward, sailing across the Bohai Sea. As the waters churned around it, it moved toward White Crocodile Island.
Compared to the boundless ocean, however, the ship was like a few drifting feathers, light and insignificant.
And the people aboard were even more so.
On the deck stood a refined young man. His hair fluttered in the sea breeze, his figure upright like a pine. His gray clothes swayed gently, reflecting the morning glow of the sky, as sunlight filtered through his hair, refracting into dazzling colors.
Fang Yu stood at the bow, gazing at the endless blue sea stretching into the distance. This was his first time going out to sea and the first time he had truly seen the ocean from within it.
It stirred his heart, yet also made him keenly aware of his own insignificance.
Thus, Fang Yu remained highly vigilant, keeping part of his attention on his surroundings.
Suddenly, a man in white approached and asked, "Anything unusual on the sea surface?"
"Nothing."
Fang Yu turned and looked at him clearly, his expression filled with confusion.
He had no idea what this person's purpose was.
