Chapter 907: I'm Going to Beat Some Sense Into You Today!

I feel... I can hardly even tell where he is anymore!

Does he have hundreds of legs?! Yun Qing, Ying Bei, Ji Changtian, and the others couldn't help but clutch their heads and shriek.

What kind of footwork is this again?! Why didn't Young Master Yao display this set during the Azure Cloud Trials before?!

That mantra, 'Sabening, kill Wu Jing,' sounds so much more imposing too! Yun Qing also questioned loudly, What footwork is this, Young Master Yao?! Can we learn it?!

Standing below, the few of them stared with burning eyes at the silhouette inside the screen, their feet shifting in mimicry. Yet, no matter what they tried, they could not capture that particular charm, leaving them sweating profusely in their anxiety.

You little whelps. At that moment, the Three Monsters of Yunmeng could not help but gloat, You're still far too green to reach this level! Start practicing from the most basic steps first!

The tall, thin man among the Three Monsters of Yunmeng demonstrated an impromptu sequence right before them, his figure swaying and shifting, immediately eliciting another round of gasps.

Let's go, let's go, we need to find a place to try it out too! Quick, while everyone is occupied watching Young Master Yao!

Soon enough, each of them purchased a large handful of immortal coins, hastily tossed one in, and began to dance...

...

Soon, the next morning arrived.

The few of them watched as the old man in the shop muttered something about maintaining the shop's artifacts, which would take about an hour, leaving them with no choice but to step out, still yearning for more.

It was already this late, yet unexpectedly, there were still about ten others stepping out along with them.

Brother Yao. The moment they stepped outside, Yun Qing, the slender playboy with triangular eyes, spoke with impatient urgency, I feel like I've already mastered that Nine Palaces Moon-Gazing Step!

Being able to execute it smoothly on that learning machine doesn't mean you've mastered it. Yao Ji, who already possessed experience, opened his mouth to say, You are separated from that artifact now, why don't you try it again?

Chatting as they walked, the group arrived at the spacious main thoroughfare of the Thousand Lantern Market. Yun Qing seemed to recall the musical prelude, and then his feet began to move in accordance.

I can pull off this section! Yun Qing's eyes lit up, but as soon as he spoke, he became quite distracted. After a short moment, his subsequent steps began to appear erratic.

He halted immediately.

Young Master Yun, that section of yours was slightly off. Right then, Ji Changtian spoke up, immediately demonstrating a sequence by the street. Twisting, turning, and shifting, he was clearly much more adept than Yun Qing.

No, no, yours still lacks elegance and refinement. Beside them, Ying Bei, clad in a black scholar's robe, chimed in at once, Watch how I execute this footwork.

The Three Monsters of Yunmeng had also just emerged from the shop at this moment. Upon seeing these few, a competitive urge immediately swelled within them, and they walked forward: Your execution is elegant enough, but it lacks nimbleness. With those words, their feet shifted and their shadows danced. Soon, the passing immortal cultivators along the streets of the Thousand Lantern Market only saw...

These people?! Look at these people quickly...?!

They walked as if treading upon the clouds, wind rising beneath their soles. The wind and clouds were unpredictable, and their steps shifted in an equally unpredictable, free, and unbridled manner.

They even spotted the man at the very front, clad in a snow-white robe, leading the crowd. His legs left a trace of mysteries, moving like a phantom, conjuring illusions of substance and void before him, akin to a night parade of a hundred ghosts.

The crowd watched this scene in utter shock. More and more passing immortals gathered around, even alarming some reclusive cultivators who lived hidden within the city.

Come look! These people, it is simply like the steps of a demon!

Just at that moment, they seemed to realize that too many people were watching, and they brought their movements to a clean, decisive halt.

Swooshing away, hiding both their deeds and their names deep within.

...

Long after they had departed, there were still people lingering and watching: Tell me... who were those few? Why did just watching a set of their footwork make me feel so thrilled...?

Will they come back again...?

Within the crowd, there was also a blonde, blue-eyed female envoy from the Pantheon, who spoke to those around her: Oh! Your Sea of Ten Thousand Immortals truly is a land of spiritual power and outstanding talents! To be so young... so exceptional... so...

Her language was already clumsy enough, and evidently, that meager vocabulary was entirely insufficient to describe the feelings in her heart at this moment.

Can anyone tell me their names!

Another envoy remarked: If the Valkyrie were still here, I think she would definitely love it too. I hope to bring them (referring to these steps and methods of execution) back to our homeland!

...

Meanwhile, Yao Ji and the others had already returned to the Dao-Listening Pavilion of the Sacred Emperor Mountain.

Brother Yao. The others spoke in surprise, Could what you displayed just now be... that newest set of footwork, the Nine Palaces Ghost Step?!

You noticed? Yao Ji walked with his hands behind his back, speaking with no small amount of pride.

Since you know it, why didn't you display it during the Azure Cloud Trials?! Yun Qing asked hastily, If you had, wouldn't you have been able to severely crush that Gui Nian's arrogance?! And who knows, you might have even made it onto the Azure Cloud Leaderboard, bringing glory to us, the Four Young Masters of the Sacred Emperor Mountain!

Yao Ji shook his head: Regrettably, I was not yet proficient at the time and could only execute a small portion of it. The instructor's gaze is exceedingly sharp; if he had spotted a flaw, it would have backfired instead.

Only then did the others realize: That makes sense.

Furthermore... Yao Ji added, The Azure Cloud Trials—when have the four of us ever cared for it?!

Well said! Hearing this, the others instantly grew animated, Brother Yao is already the number one person on the Firepower Leaderboard of the 'Upper Immortal Arcade'! To this day, no one has been able to surpass him, so why care about that Azure Cloud Leaderboard?! Those people spend all day thinking about rising to the azure clouds or ascending to heaven in a single step. The names they pick are always the same old thing, either 'Azure Cloud' or 'Ascending Heaven'... They've held it for hundreds of terms, yet it's just old wine in a new bottle. Vulgar! Simply unbearably vulgar!

They bore an appearance of being detached from the mortal world.

After all, the Firepower Leaderboard was different; it did not just look at footwork, but would also provide a comprehensive score based on fluidity, physical aesthetics, and various other aspects.

If a small shop could achieve this, what about this Dao-Listening Pavilion? It was simply making no progress. With their current standing, how many years would they have to wait before getting a chance to approach the battlefield? Aesthetics and propriety were the foremost priorities.

Hahaha?! Inside and outside the Dao-Listening Pavilion, students were numerous. It was no exaggeration to say that throwing a brick at random could hit several chosen children of heaven. Just then, a burst of furious, cold laughter echoed from behind, A few notorious dregs of the Sacred Emperor Mountain actually have the audacity to boast, saying they don't care about the Azure Cloud Leaderboard?!

It's... the seventy-sixth on the Azure Cloud Leaderboard, Gui Zijian! A chorus of gasps immediately erupted from the surroundings.

The group turned their heads to look, only to see a young man clad in green robes embroidered with azure cloud patterns. His eyes were sharp, and his body surged with an intimidating aura of immortal essence.

His face was remarkably valiant, letting anyone know at a single glance that he was a hero among men. Compared to Yao Ji, whose upturned nose ruined the beauty of his entire face, and Yun Qing, who possessed the common look of triangular eyes, it was truly the difference between heaven and earth.

Since when can someone who barely manages a passing grade boast so grandly?

Yao Ji cast a sidelong glance at him, seemingly not even bothering to pay attention, and walked straight toward his original direction.

Since when do dregs who can't even achieve a passing grade dare to ignore me? Right at that moment, a howl of wind sounded from behind, and Gui Zijian's figure rushed forward like a bolt of lightning, I shall beat you awake today!
