170: Chapter 126: Dead End!_3 170: Chapter 126: Dead End!_3 Tang Fei only needed to practice over and over again according to the demonstration by the little figure…
Until he knew it by heart, allowing that sword move to beco part of his muscle mory.
However, the second sword was about perception.
Tang Fei tried the sword technique demonstrated by the little figure a few tis and found that sothing didn’t feel quite right.
The movents were identical, but the strength he displayed was far less formidable, and it didn’t even compare to the first sword…
Tang Fei felt that there must be so trick to this sword that he had yet to uncover.
So, while practicing the sword technique, he would sit on the ground every day and watch the little figure practice, over and over again…
While watching, Tang Fei felt a great depletion of spiritual power and fainted.
He hadn’t expected that watching swordplay could be more exhausting than practicing it…
Tang Fei dared not rush; he slowed himself down, making progress step by step.
He needed to find an opportunity for a breakthrough, whether it was observing a flower, listening to the rain, eating a bowl of rice, or passing gas…
But until that opportunity ca, he wouldn’t be able to break through the barrier of the second sword.
Tang Fei was sitting at the console making a White Tiger because his beloved teacher Lu Siyu had crafted an astonishingly powerful White Tiger, so Tang Fei pestered her to teach him how to make it.
At first, Lu Siyu disagreed, mocking Tang Fei for wanting to run before he could walk.
The chanical White Tiger encompassed a great deal of chanical skills and intelligent craftsmanship…
With Tang Fei’s current ability, he couldn’t even properly make the tail of the White Tiger.
Tang Fei admitted she was right, but he still wanted to make the White Tiger.
If she refused, he’d accuse her of not keeping her word…
Lu Siyu hated trouble, and since he wanted to learn, she decided to teach.
After all, she only had to demonstrate once at the console.
How much Tang Fei could learn was entirely up to his own comprehension.
Tang Fei had excellent comprehension; he rembered everything.
Many of the chanical skills felt very familiar to him.
Upon reflection, he realized that the old man had taught him these things before…
This once again proved that there was no simple relationship between Lu Siyu and the old man.
Tang Fei was working on the White Tiger’s head.
This head was the core and brain of the chanical Tiger, containing not only complex chanical skills but also a number of intelligent chips and integrated circuits that needed to be installed…
It was indeed not an easy task.
He glanced at Lu Siyu, who was snoozing in the corner, and felt a pang of jealousy.
She was so nonchalant about her skills…
If he had such fine craftsmanship, he’d have gone ho to sleep by now.
Who would want to attend classes?
And how could the tables in the classrooms ever be as comfortable as the big bed at ho?
What could the school possibly teach her?
Tang Fei didn’t know the precise criteria for chanical rankings, but he thought that with Lu Siyu’s chanical expertise, it probably wouldn’t be a problem for her to qualify as an Advanced chanic.
It made him wonder if the chanical Snake was her doing too?
What exactly did she want?
What was she testing?
The bell signaling the end of class rang.
Lu Siyu opened her drowsy eyes, picked up her little bag from the table, and walked out.
Tang Fei also packed the tiger head lock into the cabinet under the console, then followed Lu Siyu out.
Lu Siyu walked to the underground parking lot of the school, swiped her card through a system, and soon, a chanical transport device delivered a red sports car to her.
Tang Fei watched with envy.
That woman was really rich to have a sports car to drive…
Tang Fei calculated his account balance and ultimately restrained his burgeoning desires.
Money should be spent on essentials; it wasn’t ti for extravagant spending yet.
After all, Phoenix had transferred twenty million Star coins to him, and he had already used most of it to renovate a Training Room and purchase a bunch of training equipnt…
There were still many things for which he’d need money, and he had to save as much as possible where he could.
Besides, didn’t the Second Prince gift him a Flying Car already?
He didn’t lack a car; he lacked a driving license.
Tang Fei sprinted all the way, intercepting an autonomous car at the school gate.
Once Lu Siyu’s car drove out of the school, he ordered the autonomous vehicle to follow her sports car.
Lu Siyu drove her car westward until it reached the outskirts of Phoenix City.
Without stopping, the car eventually sped toward a more distant mountainous area.
Tang Fei hesitated slightly but gritted his teeth and followed.
The vehicle’s map showed that the mountain up ahead was called Lu Ban Mountain.
Lu Ban Mountain?
The forefather of the chanical Departnt.
For a mountain to be nad after soone on New Star showed how formidable that person must have been.
Perhaps the old residence of the Gongshu Family, one of the nine major families, was on Lu Ban Mountain.
Could it be that Lu Siyu was from one of the nine major families?
If she was from the nine major families, why hadn’t she appeared at Phoenix’s coming-of-age ceremony banquet?
The red sports car picked up speed and then disappeared into a tunnel up ahead, leaving no trace behind.
Tang Fei, shocked, drove his car into the tunnel.
After circling the mountain, he still couldn’t find the red sports car.
“How strange?
Where did the car go?”
“Where did Lu Siyu go?
Even if she could hide, the car can’t just vanish…
Is she carrying the car away to hide it?”
What was even more puzzling to Tang Fei was that after examining the ground, he couldn’t find any tire tracks.
He had seen with his own eyes how Lu Siyu drove into the mountain.
He had driven right behind her, so how could there be no tire marks?
Could her car fly?
Tang Fei looked up at the sky, which was covered in a haze, shrouded by a layer of fog.
When he’d co out, the dying sunlight was like blood, and the Sun’s afterglow reddened the surface of the river as koi leaped from the water.
How could it suddenly turn overcast?
The sky inside the mountain was completely different from outside, as if he had entered another world.
Having lost Lu Siyu’s trail, the tracking mission was a complete failure.
Tang Fei prepared to drive ho…
He circled round and round, only to realize he was going in circles in the sa spot.
Then an even more bizarre occurrence unfolded; the tunnel they had just passed through vanished, as though it had never existed.
He was trapped in this mountain, with no exits, and dead ends everywhere.
