Chapter 93 Getting Out Of The Room
"Looks like you are looking for me." Li Tian reappeared next to me. He stepped forward and held my hand, stopping for a moment.
"It looks good. You have adapted to the new Qi. This works." Li Tian nodded.
I kept my mouth shut. He came right after three days, like he said he would. I could not exactly start complaining now.
"What do I do now? Should I go back to the sect?" I asked.
"Why would you go back to the outer sect? All that I did was change your Qi. There is still a lot more that I have yet to teach you. I want to teach you how to use that movement skill of yours. You can finally start using one now, after all." Li Tian said.
"The movement skill! Yes! I need to learn that. I still did not learn a movement skill, and the problems of this are showing in my battles. I will be at a significant disadvantage if I am not able to learn the movement skill that I got in the city lord's mansion." I said, nodding vehemently.
"Well then, let us move. We cannot learn how to use the Kun Peng myriad transformations in a small place like this. The carp that went through the dragon gate is ambitious. It soars through the sky. You cannot learn a skill like that by just attempting to copy the movements. Sometimes, you need to try something different. Sometimes, you need to feel what the Kun Peng is experiencing." Li Tian said.
"What the Kun Peng experiences? But the Kun Peng can fly! I can't fly! How will I be able to feel what the Kun Peng feels?"
"Don't worry about that. That is what I am here for." Li Tian smiled as he put his hand on my shoulder. I felt my whole body shaking, as if it was going to transport again. And that we were. We were going somewhere else. The next moment, the scene completely changed.
The completely dark room became blue. I could not understand. Where did the blue come? But changing my view, I understood what was happening.
"I am in the sky?!!! And where the hell is master?" I looked around with confusion and panic.
It seemed like I was right over the Sky Heaven's sect, about a few thousand feet in the air. There were bird around me, looking at me with interest. I was falling though, and I did not know what to do.
The sect was interesting. There was a circle that encompassed the perimeter of the sect, while the Black Swamp Forest made a huge shroud around it.
"That's not what you are supposed to be thinking about right now!" I shook my head.
Thougths raced through my mind, but only one thought seemed to matter.
"The Carp went through the dragon gate. What the hell is the dragon gate?" I wondered. The same words were going through my head. How was a fish able to fly? This was not a lucky encounter. I knew the story. It did it all by itself. It went through the dragon gate. But where could I find a dragon gate in the sky? Where could I find one at all?
"The dragon gate is metaphorical. Think about the Kun Peng closely. The carp gains wings. The movement art is a way to fly like a Kun Peng without actual wings, but with wings made of Qi!" all of a sudden, this thought came into my head.
My mind raced at the simple thought of this. I circulated my Qi, and all of my Qi rushed to my back, trying to protude out like wings. They took the shape of two wings, trying to take me out of this place. They tried to move, tried to flap.
I pushed more and more Qi towards the makeshift wings, and soon enough, they flapped. I could feel then fluttering behind my back. They were a part of me. And finally, I also stopped falling down to the ground. I was flying!
Ping!
[Host has learnt new skill, Kun Peng Movement Skills. Host has discovered new skill. System awards Host with 15 skill points for this achievement.]
The system spoke.
"Huh? I made a new skill? What the hell? I thought that I was learning a new skill. When did I make one? Something is wrong." I was dumbfounded. Although I was escatic that I got 15 skill points, I did not understand what I did.
In this momentarily lapse of concentration, my wings of Qi disappeared. I could only keep them because I was putting in way too much Qi into them, trying to do my best to hold them together. With all my Qi dispelled, I started falling again.
Now, I could see the sect becoming larger. Tiny dots became buildings, and I just minutes away from crashing into them.
"Come on wings. Come on. Just save me." I tried to push the Qi within my body to do the same thing that I did just a few moments ago. But my Qi just wouldn't move. It stayed there, like it had nothing to do with me.
Without any Qi, I had nothing to do. I could not understand this. Why did the Qi just stop listening to me.
"Huh? It looks like you still have to try and assimilate with this new Qi a little more. Oh well. I thought that three days was enough, but I guess that you need more." I heard Li Tian's voice next to me again.
Before I could even turn to see him, the scene changed again. I was transported somewhere else.
The blue sky, and the sect that was below me changed to become the dark room that I was in for three days. I did not expect the sudden transportation and fell to the ground on my knees.
"What was that for? You could have warned me!" I shouted.
