Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 132 — Towards Imperial Academy
It took three days for Jiang Yifei to master the 80% Kick of the Sky Ruler.
Although it was not like Xiao Rou who could master the technique in one look, but the time was relatively fast in the martial world which showed that Yifei was a high-level genius.
Zhou Yuan alone in his first life took him three months to master.
"Mastering to this level is enough, you can practice that kick sometime but for now I want to train another."
Yifei frowned. "Isn't it better to wait until I'm 100% master?"
"There's no need, after all I taught you that kick so that your blue fire technique skills would improve."
Yifei looked puzzled by Zhou Yuan's intentions but the young man instead did the horses afterwards. "I'm not good at explaining, we better just practice it with action."
Zhou Yuan then began to swing the kick he mastered that was the Sky Sovereign Kick but what distinguished it besides that the kick was strong, fast and moved like a dance, the same kick created a hot blue flame.
"It's..." Yifei had trouble speaking to see her.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly at the girl's reaction but he did not stop there, Zhou Yuan again released a kick that this time every leg swung would create a fierce blue flame.
Of course, what made Yifei surprised was not because of Zhou Yuan's stunning kick technique but the blue fire that the young man created.
However the blue fire technique could only be done by those from the Jiang Family, Yifei did not understand why Zhou Yuan could do it.
Yifei did not know that while the two were competing every day for a long time, Zhou Yuan accidentally learned the blue fire technique from Yifei himself.
Gradually Zhou Yuan began to memorize and understand whenever Yifei used that special technique from his family. Not to mention Zhou Yuan was also a fire element swordsman, so it was no surprise that he was able to replicate the girl's blue fire technique during his few looks.
Zhou Yuan himself actually did not know since when his brain could learn and understand so quickly because in his first life, he was classified as a less intelligent human being.
"How is... You're..." Yifei still looked at Zhou Yuan with shock.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, "Sorry Princess, it's actually me..."
Zhou Yuan explained that he learned self-taught blue fire from the girl during the match practice, more briefly he imitated the blue flame of Yifei before understanding and mastering it.
Yifei certainly did not believe it for granted, he who from childhood learned the technique and needed hard practice in order to use it felt impossible for Zhou Yuan to master it that short but after thinking back, it was impossible, Yifei felt that it was quite reasonable considering that Zhou Yuan was the most genius swordsman beyond himself.
Yifei sighed, he who initially always thought himself special because his genius now felt his talent was ordinary in front of Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan then asked Yifei to practice again but this time he had to combine the sky ruler's kick technique with his fire type change.
***
It wasn't difficult for Jiang Yifei to learn what Zhou Yuan ordered because basically the girl had already mastered the basis of her blue flame technique.
By performing the sky ruler's kick technique, the flames that the girl released were much larger and hotter each time her feet let go of the kick.
Jiang Yifei was enthusiastic because by mastering the kick technique, his fighting ability so increased, Yifei had to admit that the kick style taught by Zhou Yuan was a high-level kick technique that he had encountered.
"Well it's a waste of time, but your kick technique isn't bad either so I'm grateful that you taught it to me..." Although it feels heavy to say such a sentence, Yifei in his jutek style still has to thank the young man's services.
Zhou Yuan frowned, he felt that he was not being praised by the girl. "Fei'er, you're still learning again, your kick technique is still not perfect."
"Hmph! I gotcha..." Jiang Yifei then pointed at the top of his head. "Elus my hair!"
Yifei clucking. "Elus my hair, I've been training hard today."
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, he was still confused as to what kind of attitude to the girl but in the end, he still stroked the shoots of Yifei's hair.
Jiang Yifei closed his eyes as Zhou Yuan's hand touched his hair, he enjoyed the gentle elution from the young man's hand. The face slightly frowned as Zhou Yuan started stroking her.
"It seems like in a few days I will break through to the next stage, you don't need to train me tomorrow." Yifei said after he learned the sky ruler's kick technique, he gained the enlightenment to break through.
Zhou Yuan nodded and sure enough the three days the girl had been doing closed-door training, she was making a breakthrough and now her strength was at the peak of the Silver Realm.
At the age of 15 years, it would be very difficult to find someone at the same age who has achievements like Yifei. Zhou Yuan was convinced, with his high talent did not rule out the possibility for Yifei to reach the Golden Realm at the age of 16.
Zhou Yuan congratulated the girl for breaking through, while Yifei only asked for a haircut when he met Zhou Yuan again.
"I want to try my new strength, this time I can definitely defeat you..." Jiang Yifei said confidently, he could feel his strength had increased tremendously after breaking through.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, "Then what if you try it..." Zhou Yuan signaled with his finger.
Of course, willing how much the girl's strength increased, Yifei would not be able to win against Zhou Yuan. Both his fighting experience and his techniques and strength were far too different when juxtaposed against Zhou Yuan.
Yifei did not hide his disappointment, even though he was already confident that he could defeat Zhou Yuan or at least he could injure the young man.
"There's no need to be discouraged, in the future maybe you can surpass me..." Zhou Yuan cheered.
Yifei sighed, he again asked Zhou to practice a match with him, at least if he could not defeat that young man Yifei could learn a lot from him.
***
Not feeling that the time of Zhou Yuan and Yifei's departure had finally arrived, Jiang Qisha prepared his white eagle demon to bring the two to the Four Imperial Academy.
"I think these two weeks you've been practicing hard?" Jiang Qisha smiled, asking Zhou Yuan and Yifei.
Zhou Yuan nodded, even though he was confident in the tournament that there was not a single participant who reached the Crystal Realm like him, Zhou Yuan still did not underestimate his opponent.
On the other hand, during these past two weeks Zhou Yuan and Yifei continued to practice so that the relationship of the two began to feel closer and familiar, he said, at least for Zhou Yuan the girl was not as old as before when the two first met.
"Brother Long, I hope you keep my grandson and Zhou Yuan there, more than anything else..." Jiang Qisha patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man beside him.
"No need to worry, Brother, even my life I give up if I need to save both." Jiang Long nodded slowly.
Jiang Long was the younger brother of Jiang Qisha who currently served as the Moon Emperor's hand. His strength was in the Realm of Light yet still under the far might of Jiang Qisha.
Jian Long then rode on the eagle before commanding that Zhou Yuan and Yifei ascend it.
Zhou Yuan had only first climbed an eagle demon like this so he clucked in awe as he felt the eagle demon start flapping its wings and flying up into the sky while Yifei looked ordinary as it was already fiery he once rode it.
"Our journey will take three weeks at the latest, I hope you two can enjoy it." Jiang Long turned his head back, looking at Yifei and Zhou Yuan.
"I understand uncle..." Yifei chose to stand on the eagle.
Zhou Yuan nodded slowly, he enjoyed the atmosphere above the sky as well as the scenery below, the vast expanse of the city, the forest and the rushing river water.
