Boarding the Ship
Recalling the first time he saw the 7-Star Black Panther, Fu Yang can't help but shiver with fear again. Fortunately, he was still alive and kicking.
The only reason he survived was the Black Panther left the room soon after. Although he was curious about the Black Panther, he didn't bother to follow it. Otherwise, he was courting death.
After flying for a while, Fu Yang got tired. Using his Energy to power the Flying Bike had drained him too much.
During the flight, he realized how big the Heavenly Cosmic Sect's territory was. Although mostly was forest area, it still took him about 4 hours to fly from the Northern part of the sect to the Southern territory.
When he arrived at Lischia City, Fu Yang landed near the port. He took an Energy Replenishing Pill and stored his Flying Bike back to his Spatial Ring.
At this point, Fu Yang planned to take a ship. The Veir river was too wide for him to cross alone with his Flying Bike. Just with the ship alone would take about 3 hours, which means is he used the Flying Bike, it will take his longer to travel.
Above all, he might encounter some dangers while traveling above the water.
Unlike those forbidden areas of Celestia, the Veir River didn't have any barrier of protection from those monsters.
Many 4-6 Star Sea Monster Beasts, which were too strong for him to fight with his current abilities, reside under water. While, those stronger Monster Beast reside deep down below.
To monitor the movements of those strong monster, there were some radar that would immediately inform tbe Authorities if a monster above 7-Star Sea Monsters go above a certain height.
Even if there weren't many experts on the board, most of Celestia's ship were made to survive any attacks coming from those monsters.
Although, the ship wouldn't be able to start sailing under the protection mode until a powerful expert from Celestia come to rescue them.
Meanwhile, he could barely defeat those 3-Star Monster Beast, comparing to those higher Star Monsters Beast, he was simply too weak.
As he got on the ship, he quickly showed his special elder badge to the crew. This badge proved that he was an Elder of the Heavenly Cosmic Sect. By showing the badge, he didn't have to prove who he was anymore, and he could even ride the ship for free.
The ship was about the same size as the two-story Blacksmith Building. It was slightly smaller than the ship he had been on before together with Wen Tao. Unlike that ship, this smaller ship couldn't carry cars.
As he was alone this time, Fu Yang choose this type of ship.
Soon, after he boarded on the ship, he directly requested a crew to guide him on his cabin.
"Sorry, Elder Fu. Currently, all our cabin are packed. However, the captain directly gave up his room for you."
The free cabin that the crew gave him was a simple one-bed room with a bathroom. Actually, this cabin room was better than what Fu Yang expected to receive.
Last year, the room given to him and Wen Tao was a double deck room. Quite small to cater two adult grown men.
"This is okay. You may go, I want to rest."
Hearing the words of Fu Yang, the service crew guy left.
Taking a meditative stance on his bed, Fu Yang concentrated on absorbing the Energy Replenishing Pill.
After finishing, he took his Energy Phone from his Spatial Ring and video called Yu Feng first.
Few rings after, Yu Feng finally answered the phone.
As soon as the screen change to Yu Feng's camera, Fu Yang immediately saw Shi Wen's face occupying the whole screen.
"Master! Why didn't you wake us up?"
Shi Wen was sad when he came to know that his Master left earlier this morning. His Master didn't even wake him up or even write a letter that he was leaving.
"Sorry Shi Wen."
Not having any appropriate excuse for him, Fu Yang just apologize.
"You are such a bad Master!"
Slightly angered by the response of his Master, Shi Wen gave the phone back to Yu Feng and went away. It seems like Shi Wen was still familiarizing himself to call Fu Yang his father. There are times when he call him with that title, and times when he resort to call him master.
Although Shi Wen tried to hide it while giving back the Energy Phone to Yu Feng, Fu Yang saw the tears forming on his eyes.
'Sigh, he is definitely going to cry in his room. How come my first disciple is such a cry baby?'
Looking at lonely Yu Feng in the screen, Fu Yang wondered why Fu Cheng weren't with them.
"Yu Feng, where's Fu Cheng?"
Yu Feng looked troubled for a moment before
replying.
"He went to the forest to train himself with the waterfall. This seems like a reliable training according to what he researched in internet."
Although weirded out by the choice of training, Fu Yang nodded. Training with something is better than not training at all.
After that Yu Feng asked for pointers on his cultivation. When Yu Feng couldn't understand them completely, Fu Yang resorted into demonstrating it through the video call.
He put the Energy Phone on the table, fixed the camera and started with his demonstration.
Following his demonstration, Yu Feng followed by showing his own interpretation.
Although the execution was below Fu Yang's, it was still better as to compare to the other outer disciples of the Sect.
During this past year, Fu Yang wasn't just idling in his courtyard. He also taught some outstanding outer disciples candidate for promotion to the inner disciples.
When they finished their training through online, Fu Yang ended the call.
As for Fu Cheng, he just let him do what he wants. He didn't need to bother him with his own training.
***
Waking up early in the morning, Fu Cheng went for a jog together with Shi Wen and Yu Feng. In the end, his muscles ached. Although sleeping in his room in order to rest his aching muscles, he still wanted to train on his own.
Right now, he was simply too weak. Just by a simple jogging, he would be out of breath soon after.
He searched in the internet for some tips on how to train effectively. As he browsed around, he came across a video of a strong man working out under a waterfall.
Curious about the man's technique, Fu Cheng watched the entire video. Once it ended, he decided to give it a try himself, hoping that he could also become as muscular as the man in the video.
The closest waterfall was called Beastaming Waterfall. This waterfall was managed by the Beastaming Course.
Fu Cheng found this piece of information on a map he downloaded from the Sect Website and headed straight there.
When he arrived, he was captivated by the beautiful scene. The water flowed gracefully down the rocky slopes, surrounded by lush green trees swaying in the breeze.
Fu Cheng took out his phone to take a picture of this breathtaking sight. He didn't want to miss this scenery by not capturing it.
He had learned from the introduction of the Beastaming Waterfall that this was actually man-made. It was created when an incredibly powerful Cultivator under the Beastaming Course drilled a hole from the Veir River to its current location.
Realizing how far the Veir River was from where he stood, Fu Cheng couldn't help but be amazed by the cultivator's incredible strength and achievement.
After admiring the view, Fu Cheng took off his shirt and hid it in the bushes. He then dived into the water and swam near the waterfall.
When Fu Cheng arrived near the Waterfall, he checked whether there was platform he could stay at right below of the cascading waters from above. If there was none, this trip might as well be a waste.
Fortunately, he found a big rock underneath the waterfall. Although, the rock has a slightly curved surface, it was enough for him to sit on.
Happy for his fortunate self, he immediately went and try to sit above the rock.
However, everytime he tried to get himself up, he would slip due to the slippery surface caused by the water.
Helpless in his predicament, he stopped and thought of a solution.
While he was busy thinking for a solution, many people arrived near the Waterfall. They were the newly accepted disciples of the Sect that will take the supplementary test for the Beastaming Course.
Among the disciples there was a big young man looking at the direction of Fu Cheng. Even if Fu Cheng had his back turned against them, the big young man could still recognized his servant.
Hearing noises coming from his behind, Fu Cheng decided to check who arrived.
Soon he regretted turning his head as the young master he loathed was among them.
