He had not even finished his sentence when Ye Chen, still looking calm, suddenly changed his aura. An unreal sword appeared out of nowhere, and he gave people the feeling that his whole body had turned into a sword itself, waiting for the moment to attack.
“It indeed is the Cloud Storm Sword Art. And he could perform it so easily...” The head master exclaimed. He realized that he had completely underestimated Ye Chen, but how could he really understand a martial genius that had managed to learn the half-step sword intent?
Among the three people, only Xu Jing was not shocked.
Shoo!
Right at that moment, a sharp bird cry came from the top of the Wind Mountain, it sounded very high-pitched and powerful.
Ye Chen followed the sound and he was quite surprised by what he saw.
On a steep hill, a huge beast was flying towards them. It was an extremely muscular beast, with wings that were ten meters long. It was covered in dark blue feathers and reflected with a metallic shine under the sun's light. The bird’s claws looked like they could even pick up a house and were also bent like iron hooks.
Luo Hanshan introduced the bird to Ye Chen: “This is our guardian spirit beast - the Wind Vulture.”
“The Wind Vulture?”
Ye Chen had heard this name before. In the far east of the Windy Nation, there was the Devil Grasslands, and on that grassland, there were countless demonic beasts. Among them half beast - the Ghost Eyed Jade Lion - was the most famous one. However, the people who lived near the grassland did not agree with that. In their eyes, the most famous one could only be the king of the Devil Grassland, the rank 5 beast - Wind Vulture.
The Wind Vulture could travel forty thousand miles in one day. It came and went like lightning. And It was ten times faster than the half horse beast. It was the best beast to travel by when one had somewhere they urgently needed to be. But it was also very hard to catch one. Although it was only a rank 5 beast, almost equivalent to a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, even a Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior wouldn't be able to catch up with it. And even if they manage to capture it somehow, it was extremely hard to train it.
Ye Chen never expected that the Sky Cloud Martial School actually had a rank 5 beast - Wind Vulture. No wonder they were not worried about getting to the Emerald Martial Palace on time. It would only take the Wind Vulture two days to get there. That would not only save them a lot of effort, it could also make the Sky Cloud Martial School look good.
Woo! Woo!
The wind was blowing heavily and the Wind Vulture landed in the middle of the Welcoming Plaza.
The headmaster said: “Let’s all hop on!”
With the speech over, his body shifted, it then appeared on the back of the Wind Vulture.
He waited until everyone had gotten onto the beast, and then warned, “Remember to try to stabilise your body, the Wind Vulture is extremely fast.”
Luo Hanshan said as he laughed, “The headmaster is correct, the first time I travelled on the Wind Vulture, I had almost fallen from of the sky. Its speed is unbelievable.”
Hearing him, Ye Chen and Xu Jing would not dare to underestimate it. They both secretly started to accumulate their Qi.
The Wind Vulture’s wings shook a few times in the air. Then its legs stepped on the ground, its body was like an arrow shooting out into the sky. It hid its wings behind its back to decrease the obstructions. It flew at such a high speed that it almost reached the speed of the sound. Sitting on it felt like sitting on a rocket, the incoming air was like sharp knives, slicing at the skin.
Ye Chen accumulated his defensive Qi in order to avoid being sliced up.
Soon, the Wind Vulture had flown into the deeper parts of the clouds.
