Chapter 794: Watch Me

What was going on?

When it began two hours ago, it had already advanced at a very rapid cultivation speed, much faster than their individual cultivations in the past, but it was not at an absurd rate. It was well within Yun Yang's expectation, about double the speed of his usual cultivation state.

According to that cultivation speed, the breakthrough of the next level could be estimated to be completed in approximately one day and a half. This was Yun Yang's initial imagined outcome.

Things had turned out differently now. How could everything have been accomplished in the blink of an eye? With three levels of advancements at that? It simply defied all logic.

"What happened?" Ji Lingxi was dumbstruck. "Is the effect of our combined cultivation so fantastic? Is this method truly so effective?"

The corners of Yun Yang's lips twitched.

"No - it's impossible that this is the outcome of our combined efforts..."

Yun Yang concluded so, but was at a loss to explain further; he was bewildered as well. The incident was inexplicable. How had they advanced so suddenly? How could such a thing happen in this world?

"Not the result of our joint cultivation? What do you mean? Have we not halted the session because of this?"

Ji Lingxi blinked, still perplexed. "Could God have finally opened his eyes? Or have our physiques heightened explosively?"

As she spoke, she cultivated to check her body, to see if there were any hidden issues.

Yun Yang coughed.

He wondered why it was so quiet outside. Bai Yixue and Fang Mofei who stood guard beyond should have felt their change from idle to active; even if they did not come in to ask about it, there should at least be some movement outside!

Yun Yang felt his heart clench and immediately opened the door to check. What greeted him was an immobile Bai Yixue who was drenched in sweat, gripping his sword stoically. On another side was Fang Mofei who had fallen off the roof with a plop and frozen limbs; he was sprawled on the floor, unable to get up anytime soon.

"Who has come? Do present yourself," the young man stated firmly, quickly overcoming his shock.

The various occurrences were definitely not coincidences. A powerful player must have come and maybe, it was even an illogically skilled one!

A voice tinged with the hint of a smile suddenly rang out from behind Yun Yang. "I'm here. Didn't you see me?"

Yun Yang turned around abruptly but just as their eyes met, Yun Yang's widened.

It was not because the person before him was terribly beautiful. It was because of Ji Lingxi. Right behind Ji Lingxi, around a shoulder's width distance, a lady in white was walking out of the room together with her.

No - in fact, the lady was almost stuck to Ji Lingxi, but the latter was not at all aware of it. She was still anxiously skipping out of the room, asking, "Yun Yang, is it the Four Seasons Tower?"

Yun Yang took in a deep breath and was instinctively aware of the lady's abilities. She must be unimaginably powerful, with an extremely terrifying capability!

It must be emphasized again that Ji Lingxi's current cultivation base was higher than Yun Yang's. Based merely on cultivation base, there was possibly no one else in the Tianxuan Continent who could stand in parallel to the girl. Yet, she did not even sense the lady dressed in white who was almost sticking right onto her back!

Furthermore, the lady had spoken just now.

Yun Yang was certain that she was not using any method to deliver her voice but Ji Lingxi actually did not hear her!

"Respected one, good hand," Yun Yang said in low voice.

Ji Lingxi looked at Yun Yang who was standing in front of her and asked in puzzlement, "What respected one? What are you blabbering about? The previous breakthrough wasn't me - the red light on me didn't do anything - it really wasn't me!"

Yun Yang kept his lips sealed and his gaze at the back of Ji Lingxi.

Thinking quickly, Ji Lingxi turned around swiftly as if sensing something. Once her gaze reached the target, a cry escaped her as she sprung some thirty or forty feet away to cower behind Yun Yang, the colors drained from her face.

Someone had been standing soundlessly behind her all this time! God, it was scary!

The white-dressed lady looked at Yun Yang with a smile. Seeing the lack of fear in his eyes despite the shock, she grinned and complimented him, "Yun Yang, you're really not bad."

"May I ask who this respected one is? What business do you have coming here?" Yun Yang asked carefully.

The lady seemed to think about it before she answered with a smile, "You're not yet qualified to have the answer to this question, but I can tell you that I'm Shangguan Lingxiu's master. If you bully my disciple in the future, I won't forgive you!"

Shangguan Lingxiu's master?

Yun Yang was puzzled. Since when did Shangguan Lingxiu have a master? Why did he not know a thing about it? To have a superb master of such capability at that! Wait, that was not right... If Shangguan Lingxiu had such a master, how could her capability stop at where she was? This did not make sense!

"Unfortunately, respected one has impeded my men when you came here. What's the meaning of this?" Yun Yang let Shangguan Lingxiu's matter go and calmly focused on where the issue lied.

The lady smiled. "It was not difficult to incapacitate your men. I just wanted to visit you. I didn't want to waste my saliva and invite more trouble. If you think that just halting the two of them makes you uncomfortable, I can make the two of you immobile too and just listen to me."

"I have yet to meet someone in this continent who can suspend me without a sound." There was an expressionless twitch on Yun Yang's face, accompanied with a scowling smirk, but his eyes were gleaming coldly.

Yun Yang's physical form had already begun transforming into his cloud manifestation instantly, bodiless with only a shell. It looked like he was still standing there, but his being was already a cotton ball of clouds.

With his current cultivation base and capability, as well as the cloud manifestation he had transformed into, Yun Yang was confident that he could never be contained, even if all of the Four Seasons Tower's experts came for an ambush or the entire continent's martial artists joined forces.

"Then, I'll now let you experience what they feel too," the lady smiled as she spoke.

She raised her hands casually to grab the space in front of her.

Thinking quickly, a hint of a chill developed in Yun Yang. He dared not overly depend on his intangible cloud manifestation then, vanishing with a swoosh. Turning into a soft breeze, he drifted away promptly. He scoffed inwardly, 'Your cultivation base is amazing and difficult to deflect, but will I let catch me without moving? How can you stop me now?'

At the very next moment, the lady clad in white grabbed the air very slowly, following her initial trail, speaking softly, "You're still too weak now. It's really not much harder than catching an ant... I have to control my strength in case I crush you during the process."

Her palms met as she cried out gently, "Come out!"

Before her voice echoed in the air, Yun Yang's shapeless and formless wind manifestation disappeared as he turned tangible. He had been forcibly pulled out of the void by the lady to end up standing in front of her with shock!

Yun Yang's eyes were wide with surprise. There was no other emotion contained within them. Even now, he could not fathom how he had been caught!

The spiritual energy in the air earlier had no movement, nor were there the trails of mystical Qi. His deific consciousness did not tell him anything either.

'I - how was I caught?'

'Who am I?'

'Where am I?'
