After falling many times accompanied by the sound of laughter that grew increasingly irritating, Xika finally managed to sit properly without falling over her wings.

He sat quietly enjoying his hard work. He felt quite proud to be able to sit with his wings without falling down.

"Huh, just like that and you're already proud? Wait till you can fly."

Huo Bing actually intended to mock, but Xika was instead motivated.

"yes too. I wonder what it's like to fly."

Xika was getting more and more excited about practicing.

He got used to it a while after sitting down. Then he started to move his wings a few times.

Previously, he had only moved his body without moving his wings.

It was pretty stiff, but it worked.

Xika did not stand up. He tried to move his wings and get used to it. Just like when your feet are recovering and you can only move them after a week, you will be moving them to get used to it.

Xika tried to stretch her wings as wide as possible, but she immediately fell down as her wings got heavier.

Previously he trained with half-bent wings. Naturally, he immediately fell when stretching it.

"really. Don't try to stand up first. Try to get used to your wings first. You must know the movement of your wings." Huo Bing advised.

For several hours, Xika continued to move her wings and get used to it.

But then, his stomach rang and disrupted his focus.

"yes too. How can we live without food here?"

"We're not. You're. Actually, I don't need food." Huo Bing confirmed with a pesky face that seemed to say 'that's your problem, not mine'.

Then Xika turned to Heiliao. After all, Heiliao was a living being, not a soul like Huo Bing.

But Heiliao opened his mouth and a black hole appeared absorbing the qi around him.

"If I have to, I can use qi as my food."

"..........."

He tried to get up to see the surroundings.

Scab a little, but he managed to stand up without falling over. While walking, he tried to bend and stretch his two wings.

Over time, he began to know how the wing position is most suitable for walking.

He went around the room, but found nothing to eat.

Then his eyes caught something.

Snakes.

The bodies of the snakes can be used as food.

He walked over to one of the snake corpses. From the complexion on his body, he was Coral.

He cut off a bit of the snake's body with the Space Shifter, then skinned it. Then he cut it into smaller pieces to make it easier to burn. After that he jabbed his card and burned the snake's flesh.

He was a little confused as neither Huo Bing nor Heiliao spoke.

So he turned around and found two pairs of eyes that were staring at his flesh with drool dripping. Especially Heiliao.

"What look-look?"

"Hehehe.........Xika, we're the -"

"No. You said I was the only one who needed food, so I didn't want to share."

Then Heiliao looked at him with a shining look.

"You too. Didn't you say you could use qi as food? Then just eat the Qi there. None of you two helped me before anyway."

Finished saying that, Huo Bing instantly swung his wings a few times and monotonized Coral into pieces small enough to burn.

Heiliao also did not want to lose, he instantly moved space and separated all the flesh that Huo Bing had cut with his claws. When she finished, she returned to Xika's front.

Then the two of them looked back at Xika.

"............."

Xika was confused as to what to say. It seems like their appetite is really the same.

"All right, but-"

Xika did not finish talking, the two creatures had eaten the meat that Xika had burned before.

"Listen to me talk first, goddamn it!"

Then Xika joined in and ate with them.

So for a while the eating problem was over.

"wait. What should we drink?"

Heiliao instantly moved the space to the side of Coral's body part which was still quite large. Then he thrust his claws and blood flowed.

"You didn't mean..........."

Heiliao nodded.

"Is there no other choice?"

Heiliao.

"How does it feel?"

Heiliao threw the meat beside him in response.

And finally he drank the blood of the serpent. He scrunched his eyes while drinking it.

He said nothing and then continued eating.

"wait. Will I not be poisoned to drink and eat snakes? Aren't they gonna know the position or what I'm doing?"

He looked at Huo Bing and Heiliao who stared back at him with a flat look.

They shake simultaneously.

Xika continued her food.

After eating, he returned to training using his wings. He tried to walk again.

It's still sloping, but it's better than ever. Then after he could walk undisturbed with his wings either bent or stretched, he began to try to run.

Running with wings outstretched enough, even very difficult for Xika.

"To be able to imitate a bird, you have to pay attention to the bird first. Notice how they walk on the ground, how they fly, how they flap their wings, and how they deal with strong winds."

"................."

Xika did not answer Huo Bing, just looking at her.

The reason, Huo Bing was currently sleeping while the only bird that was here was only him.

"Then, can you show me how to move with wings, Lord Half-Brown Bird?"

"certain. After I gather the intention of course."

Not long after he said that, Huo Bing fell asleep.

Xika was eager to hit the two-colored bird, but she held it back and tried to use her energy to practice.

He stood with his wings closed. Then ran, still with wings closed. Slowly, he opened his wings.

It's lifted.

It flies.

"HUO BING! LOOKATME!"

"mm?"

Huo Bing opened her eyes and looked at Xika who fell with her head first.

"Hmm, what a great pose Xika. Next time you wanna fall, wake me up again."

After saying that, Huo Bing closed her eyes again.

Xika can only fly for a short time. It is somewhat inappropriate to call it flying because it is only slightly raised from the ground when it stretches its wings.

He tried what he did before.

He flew back. But this time he did not directly wake Huo Bing up. He was silent for a while, then he fell back. This time his foot fell first, after which his face immediately hit the floor.

Xika did not give up. He tried it again.

Many times he fell, many times he woke up again.

Unknowingly, Heiliao watched it from the side. But not with eyes full of ridicule like Huo Bing before, nor with a loud laugh. Except with a look of admiration at how determined Xika was.

"I made the right decision."

After several tens, maybe hundreds of times falling, Xika began to understand why he could not fly. He could only float for a moment and then fall.

He forgot to flap his wings.

After running with his wings closed, then opening them, the next step he had to do was flap his wings.

But even though he already understood his theory, the practice was still not easy.

When running, his wings were stiffer than he thought.

So Xika tried to flap her wings first before running back.

For several days, Xika did not know how many times he had fallen. But he never gave up. He always got back up with the same look in his eyes.

An unyielding look and convinced that he could.

And it produces results.

He can now fly a few feet above the ground. It still could not fly higher due to the increasingly strong air pressure. For a while, a few meters above the ground was the limit.

Currently, he is learning how to land. He had managed to fly, but still could not land. So after he flew and felt the wind on his face, the ground came and replaced the wind on his face.

"Flap your wings wider. Wider but slower. No, not like that!"

Huo Bing also helped. He gave advice and gave it. That made Xika move forward quickly.

In addition to practicing using the wings, Xika also taught Huo Bing the forging technique, his promise earlier.

It was quite difficult because Huo Bing did not use the furnace like other cultivators. Moreover, it uses two elements that are very commanding concentration.

Heiliao was also unwilling to lose. I don't know since when he started competing with Huo Bing. He taught Xika how to make pills.

But unfortunately, there was no spiritual plant here other than the one he took for Huo Bing. So they can't practice.

Xika fell asleep on the floor in disappointment of not being able to learn to purify pills. Then he felt something in his pocket.

He had kept Bai Feng's spatial ring before. He forgot about that.

Xika checked the contents and found quite a number of spiritual plants inside.

So with that, continued the rivalry between Heiliao and Huo Bing.
