章 31: Ji Changchen
Li Gang thought. 'Even though it is risky, I have no other choice. My cultivation is too low to travel far distances.'
Li Gang started looking at multiple Spirit Beasts and paid special attention to flying Spirit Beasts. Hu Xin noticed this and immediately started introducing flying Beasts even more enthusiastically.
Li Gang remained calm but thought. 'Was I that obvious?'
He looked deeply at Hu Xin and said. "What I want is a very fast Spiritual Beasts, rank 4 or rank 5 at most."
Hu Xin nodded. He showed many of them. There was even Whirlwind Eagle among them:
Azure Windglider (Rank 4)
Price: 8999
Info: Strong attack power and fast speed. Can cover tens of miles within a minute and even able to go toe to toe with Rank 4 peak!
Thunderclap Talon (Rank 5)
Price: 19999
Info: Strong attack power, endurance and speed. Able to fly at speed of thousand meters per second and can parry attacks of Rank 5 head on.
Whirlwind Eagle (Rank 4)
Price: 14999
Info: Very strong attack power and endurance. It can also fly over longer distances continuously with around 100 m/s. Able to fight Rank 5s with just cultivation of Rank 4.
Arcane Stormrider (Rank 5)
Price: 7999
Info: It has no attack power, but is able to fly very fast. It is able to cover the entire Central Region within a year with speed of thousands of meters per second!
Looking at these, Li Gang started analyzing.
'Although I need Thunderclap Talon, I don't have enough Spirit Stones. But, given my situation, Arcane Stormrider suits me best. Azure Windglider seems to have balance of strength and speed. But, I know, it won't be able to cover longer distances. I also have to avoid risks. If it is Arcane Stormrider, I will be able to avoid any fatal blow it suddenly does, because of it's low attack power.'
Even though these Spirit Beasts are captives, they can do sneak attacks in order to get their freedom.
Li Gang looked at many of them and finally decided Arcane Stormrider.
Hu Xin looked at him and frowned. He said. "Are you sure? it has no attack power!"
Li Gang nodded. "I am sure."
Hu Xin didn't say anymore and took out the Arcane Stormrider, prepared the Spatial Ring which is made specifically to keep this beast and took Li Gang back to the counter.
The middle-aged man said. "It's 7999 Spiritual Stones."
Li Gang looked at him and said. "Is there no discount? You see, it doesn't have any attack power."
The middle aged man replied. "Don't worry young friend. We give the most reasonable price. Even though it has no attack power, it's speed is enough to justify the price. It is even faster than many Rank 6 Beasts. And don't forget it is very cheap even though it is Rank 5 beast."
Li Gang didn't say anything. Not because he was convinced, but because he is not aware of the market price of these beasts. He still find the explanation reasonable and suspicious at the same time. 'A rank 5 beast should be more costly, why is it so cheap?'
He paid the money anyway and looked at his Spatial Ring, murmured inwardly. "I have only over thousand Spirit Stones left now."
The middle aged man took the Spirit Stones and gave the Spiritual Beast. He also gave one token to him and taught him the method to give instructions to the Arcane Stormrider through it.
Li Gang left after understanding everything.
He first went to a nearby forest region, and started practicing over it. In the Small World, Huang Ling was the one controlling the bird, but now he has to learn on his own. The one controlling also has to face the air drags, which is too strong with the bird's speed.
After practicing for a month, Li Gang was able to fly properly, but still not like an expert. He got enough proficiency that he could move from one place to another, if there is no obstacle.
At the same time, Li Gang felt scammed. It's foods are too expensive and will spent around 700 Spirit Stones per month! He now possess very few Spirit Stone, about few hundreds after feeding it.
After completing his practice, Li Gang murmured. "It's time to go back."
He immediately started moving in the direction of the inn over Arcane Stormrider.
On his way, he heard a commotion. He looked down and found many people were discussing something. Li Gang immediately came down and went near them and asked one of the member politely.
"What happened?"
He was a young man in his thirties. He looked at Li Gang and replied with serious voice. "The Sword Gate has announced to close down the whole Bladehaven town. We are all the disciples of Sword Gate, and we were asked to return to the sect immediately. I advise you to also return home immediately, otherwise it may get dangerous."
Li Gang looked at him and nodded. "Thank you, I will immediately return!"
Saying that he left that place. After moving far away, he stopped. He looked deep into the forest and murmured.
"It seems that old man did leave something on me. Is it on that sword?"
"I wanted to go to Heavenly Demon Sect, but it is no longer possible in this situation." Li Gang looked in a certain direction and his eyes turned sharp.
He murmured. "Verdant Forest Territory is the only option as of now. It's really a good saying: 'Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes'."
He took out Arcane Stormrider and immediately set off. At the same time, he also started meditating the cultivation technique: Celestial Serenity Technique. This technique was given to him by Wang Xueyao. He has been cultivating with this since he obtained. Not only is this one of the best technique, it also enhances the cultivation speed.
1 month later
12th June, Year 42022 of Elemental Era
Li Gang has already entered the Verdant Forest Territory. The whole region is covered with forest, he also stopped every 10 days during the journey. During this time, he would hunt some beasts to feed Arcane Stormrider and take rest.
The reason he stopped this time because he saw a huge battle. He hid himself on one of the top tree and took back Arcane Stormrider.
He activated his Wind-Thunder Eagle Eye to watch out the battle.
He was surprised to find that a young man in his teen, about 15-16 years old, is already fighting a Rank 4 Beast: Shadowstalk Panther.
The young man's temperament was ethereal, and he was very handsome. He was effortlessly suppressing the Panther.
Meanwhile, another young man of around the same age as Li Gang was also fighting few beasts and protecting a beautiful woman near him.
Suddenly a sound resounded throughout the sky.
"Nine heavenly Lightning slash: First Slash. Lightning blade."
A sharp lightning blade came out of the sword of the young man and it severed the head of the Shadow Panther.
Li Gang gasped at the scene. 'So strong! This technique is definitely a very high level! At least Rank 7!'
Li Gang's battle strength is probably the strongest in the whole Divine World. He has only focused on few techniques, even though they are only Grade 2, but his proficiency is so high, that he can rival a Rank 5-6 techniques with just them! The only problem is, lower grade techniques are not efficient against higher Rank Cultivators.
But the thing that makes Li Gang surprised is that the young man looks only about 15-16 years old!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The young man took back his sword after killing the Shadowstalk Panther and murmured inwardly.

Ding. Congratulation to the host for saving the Daughter of Destiny and taking away the chance of the protagonist! Rewarding 300 destiny points.
Ji Changchen smiled inwardly. 'Just wait, I will play all the protagonists to the death. Don't blame me, blame the heavens for choosing you pieces of trash.'
He looked at Qin Hongyi and smiled gently. "Are you fine?"
Qin Hongyi looked at him and felt warm. She hurriedly bowed and replied. "Thank you young master for saving our brother and sister's lives. We are fine."
Qin Feng hid Hongyi behind him and cupped his fists. "I thank you for saving my sister's life, but now we have to return to Harmony Fang Sect."
Ji Changchen smiled. "Oh, you are going to Harmony Fang Sect? It's good, I am also going there. We can be together in this journey."
Qin Feng frowned hearing that but as he was about to say something...
Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew and just passed Ji Changchen's shoulder, piercing the Shadowstalk Panther.
Ji Changchen looked at the dead Panther and narrowed his eyes. He shouted. "Come out."
A young man came out of the wood and said stutteringly. "Hell-lo young master. I-I was j-just passing by...."
Ji Changchen interjected. "You don't have to feel nervous. Just tell me your name."
The young man replied. "My name is Ren Ying, young master."
Ji Changchen looked at him and murmured inwardly. 'System, show his profile.'
Name: Li Gang
Age: 20
Identity: A mediocre villain in the early stage
Physique: None
Cultivation: Rank 3 early stage
Soul Cultivation: Rank 5 mid stage (unstable)
Talent: D grade
Spiritual Imprint: Unable to determine
Battle Strength: Rank 4 early stage
Cultivation Technique: Unable to determine.
Ji Changchen frowned. 'System, explain. What do you mean by Unable to determine?'
Ding! Reply to the host. When the Cultivation Technique is beyond the abilities of System or when the Cultivation Technique is self made by a person and is not present in current memory space, it is deemed undeterminable by the System. It is also possible that someone hid it or the person never used it and thus the system is unable to calculate.
Ji Changchen was surprised. 'He can't possibly create the spiritual imprint. That leaves only one possibility, he has never used his Spiritual Imprint! Most likely he doesn't have one. This person is not simple!'
He said deeply. "Do you think I can't see through your disguise?"
Li Gang was surprised. He immediately put away the disguise and replied modestly. "Young master is really strong. He can even see through my disguise!"
But, he was thinking something else. 'This man is not simple. How did he see through me?'
Ji Changchen thought. 'He can be a good tool, especially against the protagonists.'
