Chapter 25

As Lingbo Weibu unfolded, leaving trails of illusions, Li Wucheng dashed out of the forest. Quan Guanqing's eyes flashed, and he took a step forward, intending to stop Li Wucheng, but upon seeing his lightness skill, he hesitated and stopped.

Seeing Li Wucheng display such agility, the Beggar Sect members were startled, realizing that his earlier words were not just empty boasts.

"Second Brother... take care."

Seeing Li Wucheng leave, Duan Yu wanted to chase after him, but after taking two steps, he saw how quickly Li Wucheng was moving and turned back to look at Wang Yuyan, feeling reluctant to leave. He ultimately did not take another step.

As Li Wucheng rushed out of the forest, he was alert to his surroundings. He could hear the sound of hooves approaching and the urgent sound of a horn. Several riders appeared, holding long spears with small flags tied to the tips, clearly marked with "Xixia" and "Helian."

"Where are you going? Stay here!"

Suddenly, a man with a hideous face and a fierce demeanor chased after Li Wucheng. Seeing this man, Li Wucheng had a plan and laughed, "Yue Lao San, you don't need to chase me. Your lightness skill is not good enough; you won't catch me."

As he spoke, Li Wucheng had already pulled away from Nanhai Shen'e. At this moment, a tall and slender man leaped out and shouted, "Yue Lao San, don't overestimate yourself. I'll chase him."

Nanhai Shen'e Yue Lao San angrily said, "Yun Lao Si, I told you, I'm Yue Lao Er, not Yue Lao San."

Yun Zhonghe's lightness skill, praised by Jin Lao, was indeed remarkable. Despite Li Wucheng having a head start, Yun Zhonghe quickly closed the distance.

Chasing Li Wucheng with determination, Yun Zhonghe pursued for several miles before gradually catching up. He leaped into the air, his right hand extending a steel claw, and a fierce wind whistled past Li Wucheng's ear.

Although Lingbo Weibu was not inferior to Yun Zhonghe's lightness skill, Li Wucheng's cultivation was still insufficient. His internal strength was weak, and his understanding of Lingbo Weibu was also lacking.

During his stay in Wuxi, Li Wucheng studied the I Ching, but going from zero to mastery was not something that could be achieved in a short time.

Feeling the wind at his back, Li Wucheng used Lingbo Weibu to change his direction from forward to left.

At the same time, Li Wucheng drew his sword, executing the move "White Rainbow Pierces the Sun," a bright sword light flashing like a streak of light.

Before the sword was drawn, there was no warning. Li Wucheng's sudden attack startled Yun Zhonghe, who quickly leaned back to avoid the sword.

"Yun Zhonghe, take this!"

Stepping with Lingbo Weibu, Li Wucheng's sword trembled, and the Wuliang Sword Technique was smoothly executed.

A series of moves, including "Golden Needle Crossing the Calamity," "Ten Thousand Flowers Bloom," and "Pushing the Boat with the Current," were unleashed upon Yun Zhonghe. Li Wucheng's attacks were serious, but Yun Zhonghe dodged all the sword lights with a series of agile movements.

Seeing Li Wucheng's repeated attacks, Yun Zhonghe grew bolder. With a few moves of his steel claw, he forced Li Wucheng into a desperate situation.

"His martial arts foundation is still too weak."

Sighing inwardly, Li Wucheng used Lingbo Weibu to avoid Yun Zhonghe's claw.

A martial artist who has not trained step by step from a low level to a high level will find it difficult to use their newfound power freely. Like Duan Yu, who gained powerful internal strength through the Beiming Divine Skill, he could not fully utilize it.

Despite possessing the Six Pulse Divine Sword, Duan Yu could not fully control his internal strength, making his sword techniques inconsistent.

Li Wucheng was in a similar situation. His internal strength was not out of control, but he could not use it freely.

Moreover, he could only perform the Wuliang Sword Technique, but applying it creatively and transforming the mundane into the miraculous was still beyond his reach.

"Yun Zhonghe, I'm not playing with you anymore. See you later."

Shouting at Yun Zhonghe, Li Wucheng's figure gradually faded and disappeared from Yun Zhonghe's sight.

"What's going on? Am I seeing ghosts?"

Eyes wide with shock, Yun Zhonghe looked at the spot where Li Wucheng had disappeared, incredulously saying, "No way, there shouldn't be a lightness skill that can escape my vision."

...

In the Main God Space, Li Wucheng's figure gradually appeared on the tenth floor of the ten-story pagoda.

"Main God, welcome back."

As soon as he returned to the Main God Space, a mechanical voice sounded in Li Wucheng's ear.

Despite the mechanical tone, Li Wucheng felt warmth and looked at the huge floating sphere, thanking it, "Little God, thank you for allowing me to stay in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils for so long."

The Main God's essence replied, "No need, I must consider the will of the Main God."

Initially, the Main God's essence planned for Li Wucheng to stay in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils for only ten days, just to learn the Beiming Divine Skill and Lingbo Weibu.

However, Li Wucheng argued his case and extended his stay to three months, mainly to meet Qiao Feng.

Among the three main characters in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Li Wucheng admired Qiao Feng the most. Not meeting Qiao Feng during his stay would have been a regret.

There is a saying in The Deer and the Cauldron: "If you have never met Chen Jinnan, you are not a true hero." Li Wucheng felt this saying best described Qiao Feng.

Moreover, Li Wucheng's extended stay in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils was not without purpose. He formed brotherhoods with Qiao Feng and Duan Yu, laying the foundation for learning the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Six Pulse Divine Sword in the future.

"Main God, the next world requires new trainees. The operation of the Main God Space will officially enter its track."

The Main God's essence said calmly.

The official operation of the Main God Space means that the training in each world will be much more brutal, unlike Li Wucheng's stay in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, which was relatively easy and without any tasks.

Li Wucheng was initially startled but quickly calmed down, feeling a surge of excitement. "Little God, I am ready. Let's begin."

"Good. For the first time, nine trainees will be selected. Does the Main God have any additional criteria for selection?"

The Main God's essence asked.

Currently, due to the limited power of the Main God's essence, it cannot select trainees globally, not even covering the entire capital. It can only operate in a specific area.

In fact, the capital is divided into many districts, but for Li Wucheng and the Main God's essence, it is divided into the East District, West District, South District, North District, and Central District.

The Central District covers the area within the Third Ring Road, while the East, West, South, and North Districts cover the area between the Third and Eighth Ring Roads. Beyond the Eighth Ring Road is the suburban area.
