Chapter 28: Practicing the "Nine Flashes of the Wandering Dragon" Movement Technique
With Mo Yu's rise and the fame of the "Xiao Family's Twin Dragons," Xiao Ning did not challenge Xiao Yan out of frustration, as he did in the original story. Seeing Mo Yu's brilliance, Xiao Ning lost confidence in whether he could defeat Xiao Yan, avoiding what could have been a humiliating experience in front of everyone.
After Mo Yu's coming-of-age ceremony concluded, other family members continued to take the stage, but their achievements paled in comparison to the shockwave Mo Yu had set off. Even Xun'er's appearance, a fifteen-year-old Dou Zhe, caused quite a stir, but it was nothing compared to the unexpected impact of the "Xiao Family's Twin Dragons."
The coming-of-age ceremony, which began in the early morning, finally drew to a close in the afternoon amid exclamations of awe. As the crowd dispersed, many still couldn't help but cast stunned glances at the handsome, composed youth in green and the steady youth in black below the stage.
As the ceremony ended, Mo Yu stretched lazily. Such routine, ceremonial events were tedious beyond measure.
After the ceremony, Mo Yu's life returned to its usual peaceful routine. And in the time following his breakthrough to Dou Zhe, he successfully condensed thirteen lightning patterns in his "Thunder Body Technique." Now, Mo Yu had become the focal point of the family, and wherever he went, he was met with respectful glances and greetings.
...
"Swish!"
In the lush green forest at the back of the Xiao family's mountain, a figure darted swiftly like a wandering dragon, skillfully maneuvering through the dense obstacles in the forest. The youth moved through the sea of trees like a dragon swimming through the ocean, effortlessly avoiding every barrier with speed far surpassing that of an average Dou Zhe.
"Whoosh!"
The rapidly moving figure suddenly halted, bending his legs slightly and leaning his body into an unusual angle. Then, with a low, deep sound, he shot up into the air, landing with the tips of his toes balancing on the treetop! Although the figure remained on the treetop for less than ten seconds, anyone who witnessed this would have been astounded. Such a movement technique was far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve.
After pausing for a few seconds on the treetop, a glow flickered under the figure's feet, and his body twisted. With a whooshing sound, he appeared on another large tree several meters away. If it weren't for the faint trace left in the air, anyone would have thought this was a teleportation-like move.
"Using a Xuan-level movement technique feels pretty good!" A cheerful voice echoed as the figure, now stable on the tree trunk, spoke up.
"Nine Flashes of the Wandering Dragon!"
This was the Xuan-level movement technique that Mo Yu had mastered in the past few days!
After breaking through to Dou Zhe, Mo Yu was finally capable of using movement techniques. He had learned the "Nine Flashes of the Wandering Dragon," the very technique he had previously auctioned off. In his previous life, Mo Yu had improved and strengthened this technique to reach the level of an advanced Xuan-level technique. Naturally, he now practiced this enhanced version.
Despite being called "Nine Flashes," the technique only had three real flashes: Instant Flash, Shadow Flash, and Rapid Flash.
These three flashes were not ranked in order of superiority but served different purposes. Instant Flash was used for immediate activation, almost like teleportation, to catch opponents off guard in battle. Shadow Flash created high-speed shadows that mimicked the user, with some containing a portion of Dou Qi power, confusing enemies similar to a shadow clone technique. Rapid Flash was used for long-distance travel, pursuit, or combat, making it extremely practical.
In his previous life, Mo Yu had mastered this technique to perfection, so it was easy for him to pick it up again now. While Rapid Flash was manageable, Instant Flash drained most of his Dou Qi, even after becoming a Dou Zhe, meaning it could only be used for a decisive strike in battle. As for Shadow Flash, Mo Yu's current Dou Qi level wasn't sufficient to produce even one effective shadow clone.
After resting for a while, Mo Yu slowly recovered his energy. Suddenly, he frowned and squinted toward the edge of the forest. Brushing off a few dead leaves from his body, a playful smile appeared on his face as he leisurely walked toward the forest's edge.
Stepping out of the woods, he felt the warm sunlight on his body, making his bones relax. Mo Yu tilted his head slightly, looking at the figure of a woman standing on a large boulder not far away.
The sunlight accentuated the curves of the woman's graceful figure, casting a tempting silhouette. Her long, shapely legs were particularly eye-catching.
As Mo Yu approached the boulder, hands in his pockets, he looked up at the cold-faced woman and let his gaze linger on her long legs before casually remarking, "Nice legs, Cousin Xiao Yu. Are you showing them off for me?"
With just one sentence, the usually calm Xiao Yu's face turned ashen with anger.
Her ample chest heaved slightly as she gritted her teeth and coldly asked, "Do you know why I'm here to find you?"
"If I remember correctly, Cousin Xiao Yu, I don't think there's any conflict between us, is there?" Mo Yu shrugged, feigning innocence as he looked at her angry expression.
Under the sunlight, the handsome youth appeared as innocent and vulnerable as a delicate maiden being bullied by a tyrant.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu realized something was wrong. She had come seeking justice, but somehow it seemed like she was the villain.
Seeing Mo Yu's genuinely puzzled expression, Xiao Yu calmed her anger, but her brows remained furrowed.
"The family elders want to marry me off to you, and my grandfather seems to agree."
After a moment, the words escaped her gritted teeth.
"Oh?" Mo Yu raised an eyebrow at her words.
He had been completely unaware of the family elders' intentions, but thinking it over, he could understand. After all, he wasn't a pure-blooded member of the Xiao family. Although he had Xiao family blood, his surname was Mo, not Xiao.
From the title of "Xiao Family's Twin Dragons," it was clear the family wanted to draw him in, but titles alone weren't enough. Marriage, then, became the best option.
From Xiao Mei to now Xiao Yu, it was evident the family valued him more and more. With Xiao Yan's talent restored, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch, was no longer concerned about the rise of the elders' faction. Instead, he actively promoted the marriage proposal, which had become a significant agenda item within the family.
Considering this, Mo Yu frowned slightly. "How can I think of settling down before accomplishing great things?" He certainly didn't want to be burdened with a family while adventuring across the continent.
Just as he was about to decline, Mo Yu noticed the haughty expression on Xiao Yu's face. Raising an eyebrow, he changed his tone and chuckled, "Oh? Really? I'd look forward to having such a beautiful wife like you, Cousin Xiao Yu."
