While the students of Jie Long Institute launched their attacks on Fan Xinglou, Fang Li remained silently standing in place, watching the aerial skirmish. In his eyes, a burning determination began to emerge.
“Thud, Thud, Thud, Thud!”
Under Fang Li’s gaze, the airspace seemed to be filled with invisible miniature explosions, causing bursts of air to ripple out, creating intense air pressure.
Of course, there were no actual hidden explosives causing these disturbances. It was simply the shockwaves created by Fan Xinglou’s movements.
Although not entirely clear, this time, Fang Li successfully captured Fan Xinglou’s figure.
He observed Fan Xinglou’s tiny footsteps continuously stomping the air in each corner of the sky, creating powerful shockwaves. She harnessed the chaotic airflow, moving at astonishing speeds, darting back and forth like a beam of light.
“It’s not just because of speed…”
Fang Li could vaguely sense that each of Fan Xinglou’s movements gathered some Prana at her feet, using it to enhance her explosive power. This was how she achieved such unimaginable speed and agility.
“If she didn’t push her control over Prana to the limit, she couldn’t reach this level, right?”
In other words, at this moment, Fan Xinglou displayed abilities in three areas: Speed, Agility, and Prana Control.
And these qualities were precisely what attracted Fang Li.
“I am originally a Speed-Type Main Divine Envoy. Speed and Agility are the most important for me.”
Prana could also be used to enhance speed and other physical abilities. For Fang Li, who had recently become a Genestellar, mastering Prana control was equally attractive.
“Indeed, choosing Jie Long Institute was the right decision…”
Fang Li’s decision to enroll in Jie Long’s Seventh Academy was due to its martial atmosphere. The academy was not only large in scale but also boasted students with higher skills compared to other institutions.
Various martial arts sects were represented, creating a rich martial arts atmosphere. Given the larger number of students, it was a more martial-focused environment.
Fang Li believed that Jie Long would be the place where he could make the most significant progress in his abilities compared to other academies. This was why he had chosen Jie Long over Seidoukan.
The second reason for his choice was Fan Xinglou’s presence.
This Master Immortal, who had lived for an unknown number of years, had trained numerous outstanding disciples and possessed profound martial arts knowledge.
Fang Li had chosen Jie Long’s Seventh Academy with the hope of learning from Fan Xinglou, enhancing his own abilities, and strengthening himself.
Now, Fan Xinglou was actively conducting a disciple selection test, demonstrating her abilities, which instantly piqued Fang Li’s interest.
“So, passing the test is as simple as touching her?”
Fang Li’s mind became active, and his eyes remained fixed on the aerial scene while his body tensed slowly.
To be honest, Fang Li had little confidence that he could touch Fan Xinglou. Her speed far surpassed his, even with all the enhancements from Skills, Equipment, Titles, and Class. Fang Li was already significantly faster than a Fifth-Ranked Main Divine Envoy, but Fan Xinglou was on a completely different level.
So, no matter how fast Fang Li was, he couldn’t match Fan Xinglou’s speed, as evident from her dazzling movements.
“However, I still have a chance…”
His ice-blue Mystic Eyes suddenly flickered.
The world transformed in Fang Li’s eyes.
Crack-like Death Lines spread across every corner of this world, making the figures of the students who rushed into the air look as if they had been split into pieces, an eerie sight indeed.
However, Fang Li disregarded all of this, his eyes fixed solely on one figure.
A figure smaller than anyone else, with Death Lines on the body that were surprisingly scarce – the figure of that Master Immortal.
Nonetheless, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception smoothly captured Fan Xinglou’s body’s Death Lines. Consequently, Fang Li was able to see through Fan Xinglou’s movements.
However, merely understanding wasn’t enough.
“I must keep up…”
There was only one opportunity.
Only when Fan Xinglou stopped actively and let her guard down for an instant.
To achieve this, Fang Li slowly increased the Prana within his body, pooling it at his feet at an extremely slow pace. For Fang Li, who had only recently gained the power of Prana and lacked proficiency in its use, this was a clumsy and time-consuming method to enhance his speed.
Naturally, this approach would be impractical in real combat situations.
Unfortunately, right now wasn’t a battle, giving Fang Li ample time to prepare.
“I don’t need to deliberately restrain…”
After all, he couldn’t match Fan Xinglou’s speed.
“No need to deliberately control…”
There was only one chance.
“What I can do is simple…”
That was, at the moment Fan Xinglou stopped, he needed to dash toward her as fast as possible.
That moment soon arrived.
“Ah, it seems like there aren’t any promising talents this time,” A slightly disappointed voice echoed from the sky. At that moment, Fang Li clearly saw Fan Xinglou’s figure gradually coming to a halt.
“Now’s the time!”
Fang Li’s Prana, which he had struggled to maintain under his feet, suddenly erupted.
“Flashing Dash-Reflected Moon!”
With the surge of Prana, Fang Li’s figure transformed into a meteor, shooting up into the sky. He violently shot through space, heading straight for Fan Xinglou.
“Chī————!”
A faint sound of breaking space resonated in the air.
“Hmm?” Fan Xinglou exclaimed in surprise, abruptly turning her head to look at the source of the sound.
In that instant, Fang Li’s figure had already rushed in front of Fan Xinglou. His ice-blue Mystic Eyes locked onto Fan Xinglou’s, causing her eyes to widen slightly.
“Flashing Scabbard-One Wind!”
Without stopping his figure, or rather, Fang Li couldn’t halt in mid-air with his body’s explosive power greatly enhanced by Prana. Maintaining his lightning-like speed, Fang Li reached out his hand toward Fan Xinglou, who was just inches away.
The strike was as swift as lightning.
“Oooh!”
Fan Xinglou exclaimed with surprise.
In her astonishment, Fan Xinglou effortlessly dodged Fang Li’s lightning-fast attack, moving aside like a gentle breeze.
It was an extremely effortless dodge.
Fang Li, in this way, brushed past Fan Xinglou, coming within less than ten centimeters of her before soaring into the sky.
However, Fang Li’s mouth gradually curled into a smile.
