Zhi Jinhua adjusted her glasses, skipped the fancy steps, and walked steadily across the rope.
Bai Shixue's movements were a bit bigger. She also jumped over, but not as far as Lu Linglong. She had to jump over the hundred-meter-long rope in three separate attempts.
However, in theory, such a movement should cause the rope to sway at least slightly, but when doing a white-style snow jump, it only produces a slight vibration with very little noise, which obviously indicates that there is another way to do it.
"Luke, who goes first, you or me?"
After Zhang Lingyu left, Zhuge Qing finally turned his gaze to Luke, his eyes filled with eagerness.
Luke said nonchalantly, "Please begin your performance."
Luke knew what Zhuge Qing was thinking; he had simply lost to him in battle and wanted to make up for it in other ways.
Zhuge Qing smiled confidently, unfolded a Qimen formation beneath his feet, positioned himself in the Xun position, and let out a low shout.
"The character '巽' signifies the rising of wind!"
A gust of wind suddenly arose beneath Zhuge Qing's feet, carrying him towards the opposite cliff. A few breaths later, he landed steadily on the other side, his clothes fluttering and his hair flying, like an immortal descending to earth, drawing gasps of amazement from those around him.
Luke nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, yet he remained composed.
He said softly, "Not bad, that's interesting."
He didn't act immediately, but turned to Wang Ye and said with a smile, "Wang Ye, you'd better watch out, or you'll say I'm bullying you."
Wang Ye rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, hurry up and go. I'm waiting for you to come back and teach me a few moves."
Luke chuckled softly, said no more, and his figure suddenly became blurry, as if he had merged into the air.
The next moment, he appeared on a cliff a hundred meters away, without any external force, as if he had teleported, leaving everyone speechless.
Upon seeing this, a look of seriousness flashed in Zhuge Qing's eyes, but it also stirred up his fighting spirit.
Although my chances of winning the battle are slim, I absolutely cannot afford to lose as badly as I did before.
Wang Ye gazed in the direction the two had left, secretly thinking that this grand Taoist ritual would likely be more exciting and troublesome than he had imagined.
"What a headache! Why did I get involved in this kind of thing?"
Wang Ye now truly regrets why he consulted the oracle at Wudang Temple in the first place.
Although he was complaining, Wang Ye was still quite shocked, because even he had only seen afterimages and could not see the specific movement trajectory.
It's not that Wang Ye is bragging, but although he's only been with Wudang for a few years, his cultivation level is indeed unparalleled among Wudang disciples of his generation.
Not only because he knows Feng Hou Qi Men, but he is also quite good at other aspects, such as Tai Chi.
There's no way around it; geniuses are just unreasonable creatures.
So don't be fooled by Wang Ye's lazy appearance and seemingly listless demeanor, which makes him look like a monk who has seen through the vanities of the world. In fact, he has his own pride in his heart.
Wang Ye enjoyed a wealthy material life from a young age, and was also pampered by his parents. Heaven also gave Wang Ye a smart brain.
If someone is immersed in this kind of life before even entering the world, perhaps even Wang Ye will no longer know what happiness is.
Everyone says that happiness is a comparative concept. We need to compare to know what happiness is. Therefore, Wang Ye's heart was empty and filled with bitterness.
Only through past suffering can we truly appreciate present happiness. However, Wang Ye's life has been far too smooth.
He was born with what others could only dream of over decades.
Therefore, Wang Ye has always been in a state of being without desire or ambition in terms of material things, unable to find a reason to work hard, let alone a direction to work hard.
Therefore, Wang Ye showed from a young age that he was lazy, unmotivated, easygoing, and indifferent to worldly affairs.
As he grew older, Wang Ye became more and more eager to find a direction in his life.
Since Wang Ye came into contact with Taoism in Wudang, I think he must have been surprised to discover that there is such a way to live life.
I realized that being pure of heart and free from desires, and transcending worldly concerns, can be an ideal and pursuit in life, and from then on, I couldn't stop.
Influenced by Taoist metaphysics, Wang Ye then devoted himself to studying Taoist metaphysics.
Chapter Thirty-Three: One Person's Perspective: "If you play with your daughter like a discus again, I'll kill you."
In short, Wang Ye believes he has seen through the illusions of the world, but in reality, it's because he comes from a wealthy family, is intelligent, and has never encountered any setbacks since childhood. His so-called world-weariness is actually false and unrealistic.
However, this is normal. Wang Ye has a good heart, he's just a bit unrealistic.
Even so, the fact that Wang Ye dared to come to Longhu Mountain to protect the old Celestial Master from calamity meant that he was confident that no one among the younger generation could surpass him. Although his so-called protection of the old Celestial Master from calamity was actually unnecessary, because what he considered a calamity was nothing special in the eyes of the old Celestial Master.
After all, the old master has already decided to risk his reputation, so what kind of calamity could there be? Even if there were, people would have to back down in the face of his slap.
However, after witnessing Luke's agility, Wang Ye's confidence was severely shaken.
This speed is truly not what a young man should have; Wang Ye had only ever seen it in his own master.
This happened on one occasion when Wang Ye was lazy and didn't practice his skills, which angered Daoist Yunlong. He instantly appeared beside Wang Ye from dozens of meters away and kicked him in the butt.
Zhang Chulan, who had just arrived near the cliff, was looking around when he saw this scene, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Fuck!"
Strength and speed are always the primary indicators of ability, and Zhang Chulan, who has only recently entered the world of supernatural beings, is no stranger to such knowledge.
The corpse-driving technique of the Liu family in Xiangxi, Xia He, the bone-scraping knife master of the Four Madmen of Quanxing, Lü Liang, the traitor of the Lü family who is proficient in the Minghun technique, the object manipulation technique of Jiajia Village in the west, Feng Shayan's Hundred-Step Divine Fist, Feng Zhenghao's spirit-binding and commanding technique, and even Feng Baobao's immortality and super regenerative ability.
But no one could give Zhang Chulan the same shock as the Lu family.
Feng Baobao's immortality only shocked Zhang Chulan and challenged his worldview, but Luke's speed, which was so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly, was what made Zhang Chulan feel awe.
After all, if you can't even see clearly, how can you possibly escape if someone wants to hit you or even kill you?
The Xu brothers, Xu San and Xu Si, standing to the side, were equally shocked, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.
"Xu San, this is tough. We can't beat this guy. I wonder if Bao Bao can handle it?"
Xu Si, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said with some worry.
Feng Baobao, still looking adorably dazed, said, "I don't know. His aura is fierce, but I think I can still fight him. Anyway, I can't kill him. I'll just keep bothering him. If all else fails, I'll kneel down and beg him. That should work!"
Zhang Chulan, Xu San, and Xu Si rushed to Feng Baobao's side, their eyes filled with terror.
They were so nervous because they were afraid that Feng Baobao might inadvertently reveal her secret.
At that time, it's likely that not only the world of supernatural beings, but the entire world will be looking for trouble with Feng Baobao. The words "immortality" are enough to drive anyone crazy, especially those in high positions.
"Holy crap, Sister Bao'er, you can't say that."
“Baby, let’s keep this low-key. At worst, we can make Zhang Chulan kneel down to Luke with you. Anyway, he can’t become a Celestial Master, and Zhang Chulan doesn’t have the ability to fight him. If we admit defeat, he’ll just back down.”
Xu San glared at Xu Si and said, "Xu Si, don't come up with any crooked ideas. We can't make Bao Bao kneel, but Zhang Chulan is an option."
Zhang Chulan was startled and retorted, "Third Brother, I'm still here. Don't pretend I don't exist!"
Xu San adjusted his glasses and said matter-of-factly, "I wouldn't have said anything if you weren't here, kid. Be more self-aware; this is for your own good."
Zhang Chulan was exasperated and didn't bother with him.
On the other side of the cliff, Zhuge Qing was naturally shocked to see Luke suddenly appear beside him. After a long while, he said with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Are you still human?"
Luke tilted his head and said, "Physiologically speaking, yes, and mentally and in terms of values, yes too. However, I always feel like I've forgotten something, and it's something related to you..."
Zhuge Qing also fell into deep thought and said, "Hiss, I didn't realize it until you mentioned it. It seems like we've both forgotten something?"
"You've all forgotten about me?!!"
On the other side of the cliff, Zhuge Bai's face was contorted as he screamed hysterically.
"Fuck!"
Luke and Zhuge Qing suddenly turned their heads to look at Zhuge Bai, their faces clearly showing two words.
One wrote about embarrassment, the other about feeling guilty.
In fact, with Zhuge Bai's cultivation level, crossing the cliff would be no problem at all. Don't underestimate him because of his young age; his cultivation is extraordinary, and he can be considered a genius.
However, precisely because he was young, he was also timid. His legs went weak just standing on the edge of such a high cliff, let alone crossing it.
"Daughter, Dad's here!"
Just then, a red shadow swept past Zhuge Bai's head, and at the same time, a fat, burly man behind Zhuge Bai laughed gruffly.
Upon closer inspection, the red figure turned out to be a little girl dressed in red!
The little girl flew through the air without the slightest fear; instead, she giggled and had a great time.
The father also jumped over Zhuge Bai's head and towards the cliff.
Suddenly, a voluptuous and beautiful young woman dressed in office lady attire arrived first, her beautiful legs and jade-like feet in high heels stepping on the strong man's face, and she shouted angrily in a delicate voice.
"If you play with your daughter like a discus again, I'll kill you."
Luke and Zhuge Qing watched in disbelief as the sky-high heels sank into the burly man's face, both feeling a chill run down their spines.
It's terrifying, truly terrifying. This has nothing to do with strength; it's simply a man's resonance.
Of course, the burly man was unharmed and quickly climbed up from the bottom of the cliff. Although blood was flowing from his face, he was completely unharmed.
When there is danger, the father is the child's protective umbrella and the greatest guarantee of safety; when there is no danger, the father is the greatest danger.
For some reason, Luke suddenly remembered this phrase that had been circulating online recently.
Suddenly I don't want to take Bai anymore.
He had initially felt guilty for forgetting his younger brother, but after seeing a four or five-year-old girl fearlessly and cheerfully being thrown off a cliff by her father, Zhuge Qing suddenly felt ashamed of his younger brother!
Luke nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, why don't we just pretend we don't know each other?"
Zhuge Bai's Qimen cultivation is not weak; at the very least, he is at the level to pass the preliminary round of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. However, his courage is not even comparable to that of a little child, which is quite a loss of points.
Chapter Thirty-Four: One Person's Story: Zhang Chulan, Who Conceals His Skills, and Jia Zhengliang, Who Pays Five Hundred in One Night
"Can't either of you really see me?"
Before anyone knew it, Zhuge Bai had crossed the cliff and arrived beside Luke and Zhuge Qing. He overheard their conversation, pouted, and said with a resentful expression.
Luke and Zhuge Qing gave an awkward smile. Although they were just joking, it was still a little embarrassing to be heard talking badly about someone behind their back.
Wang Ye yawned and said, "Alright, Little White has been brought, so I'll take my leave now."
Alright, the case is solved. It was Wang Ye who brought Zhuge Bai here.
