"Big brother, what are you doing?" Xuan Yue watched as Ah Dai slowly descended and, knowing that he had reached a new realm in his abilities, she excitedly asked.
Ah Dai landed on the ground, his face showing a hint of regret. "Still no good! I rember our great-grandmaster could completely control his body to float in the air, remaining aloft for a long ti. But I just can’t manage it. I can only maintain it for a few seconds. I’ve even reached the ninth level of the Lifelong Decision. It seems there’s still a huge gap between his abilities and mine."
Xuan Yue cracked a slight smile and said, "So that’s what you were doing! Big brother, with your current abilities, controlling your body to float in the air shouldn’t be a problem. I can do it. Watch this." She then chanted a spell silently, and a golden glow slowly erged. With a shout of "Rise," the golden glow suddenly concentrated downwards, and Xuan Yue’s body, frad by the golden light, floated up.
Ah Dai opened his mouth in amazent, watching as Xuan Yue floated effortlessly in the air, not only not descending but also slowly rising. He couldn’t help but ask, "Brother, how did you do that?"
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Actually, it’s quite easy; you just haven’t grasped the knack yet. Magic and fighting spirit are both forms of energy, the only difference being the thods used to utilize that energy, but so applications can be interchangeable. The main reason you could only maintain flight for a few seconds just now is that you were distributing all your fighting spirit throughout your body, with very little actually being used to lessen your body’s weight. That approach is decent for defense, but insufficient to control your body’s departure from the ground. Look at , I can float because I control the magic power to focus completely beneath my feet, using the reactive force against the ground to lift myself up. However, that day when I used the Divine Healing Technique, the gains were substantial; previously, I could only use magic power to lift myself three ters off the ground, but now I can reach ten ters and still have plenty of strength left."
Ah Dai scratched his head and said, "Are you saying that if I focus all the Lifelong fighting spirit beneath my feet, I can fly up like you did?" Under Xuan Yue’s guidance, Ah Dai’s otherwise slow-witted mind finally grasped so understanding.
"Yes! Give it a try, it will definitely work. Our floating is solely dependent on energy; we can’t sustain it for too long. Compared to wind magicians, we fall short; they can directly use the wind elents in the air to negate their own weight, and as long as they control the direction of the wind, they can fly wherever they want." While speaking, Xuan Yue lowered her body to float one ter above the ground, waiting to see how Ah Dai would use his fighting spirit.
Ah Dai concentrated and vast fighting spirit surged out. He closed his eyes, controlling the fighting spirit with his mind to slowly gather beneath him. As Xuan Yue had said, the recoil of the fighting spirit gradually lifted his body from the ground. Feeling his body ascend, Ah Dai was thrilled. He opened his eyes, stabilized his fighting spirit, and fixed his body three ters above the ground. He smiled and said, "Brother, in the future we won’t need to use a boat to cross rivers; this flying sensation is truly wonderful."
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Feels good, doesn’t it? I’ve taught you a trick, how will you thank ?"
Ah Dai replied, "You tell . Apart from Goris’s Wish, pick anything you want from . Oh right, brother, now that my abilities have improved so much, I’ll give you the Ring of Guardian. After all, as a magician, you should be much safer with the protection of the Ring of Guardian."
Xuan Yue’s heart stirred, thinking that Ah Dai had never given her a gift before; this Ring of Guardian could well be considered his promise gift to her. Without any hesitation, she reached out her hand and said, "Hand it over."
To Ah Dai, friendship was far more significant than anything else. Without a mont’s hesitation, he took off the ring that had saved him many tis, flicked it, and the Ring of Guardian turned into a beam of white light, landing precisely in Xuan Yue’s hand.
Xuan Yue was even more familiar with the use of the Ring of Guardian than Ah Dai was. She chanted a few spells silently, and the ring instantly shrunk to the perfect size for her. She slipped the ring onto her middle finger, felt a sweetness in her heart, and smiled, "Big brother, thank you."
Watching Xuan Yue’s happy expression, Ah Dai was also very content. The two floated in the air, breathing the fresh air of the forest, an indescribable pleasure.
At this very mont, the Blood, Wind, Iron, and Ice Skeletons were making their way into the forest. They were all concealing their presence, searching for traces of Ah Dai and Xuan Yue.
As Ah Dai was exchanging thoughts on the sensation of floating with Xuan Yue, he suddenly sensed four presences rapidly approaching. He turned towards the direction of the presence, just in ti to see the figures of the four Skeletons, and his heart instantly grew cold.
The Blood Skull and the others also caught sight of Ah Dai and Xuan Yue. They all drew a breath of cold air, fully aware of what floating in the air represented. In their minds, they had only seen the Northern Sword Saint achieve such a feat, yet here were two people, tranquilly suspended in midair, and their confidence upon arrival shook. Two strong opponents were much harder to deal with than just one, especially when one of them was a magician.
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "It looks like trouble has co. Big brother, let’s go down." The two retracted their energy and quietly descended to the ground. At this mont, Xuan Yue did not take the four Skeletons seriously at all.
