Chapter 64 Training In The Mountains, Wind Ride
================================
Misty Mountain Range...
Due to the mist here, Arthur could only see up to a few meters ahead. But unlike other outer court disciples that will be limited in their sight, putting them in danger if their other senses were not up to par, Arthur had what they don't.
Thinking about that he asked himself, 'Should I cheat?'
'Would it even be called cheating? It's my ability after all.'
Arthur spread out his spirit power and was able to perceive far beyond what he could see with his eyes.
As he moved, it did not take long for him to sense a spirit beast crouching behind a bush ahead.
It was a Black Stripped Wolf.
The Black Stripped Wolf was a Grade Two Spirit Beast and was one of the powerful ones among beasts of the same rank.
Spirit Beasts are ranked from Grade One to Ten. With a Grade One beast being as strong as a spirit condensation realm cultivator, grade two was the equivalent of Gold Core Realm cultivators, and so on.
They are further subdivided into low, mid, high, and peak.
The Black Stripped Wolf was a high-rank grade-two spirit beast.
Arthur would not have been able to sense it were it not for his spirit power, but the wolf already had its eyes on him.
'It is probably thinking that I haven't noticed it huh?'
Arthur restrained his urge to smile and acted like he knew nothing and walked ahead in a nonchalant manner.
Just when he got closer to the bush, at around five meters away, a shadow ran over.
*Swoosh!*
The forte of the Black Stripped Wolf was its speed and it was sure that it would be having a successful hunt.
But things did not go as the wolf thought they would. Arthur easily dodged the wolf's attack and punched its head.
*Bang!*
The wolf's head caved in and it died in an instant. Arthur looked at it and with a thought, placed its dead body in his spacial ring.
Arthur was able to one-punch-kill a high-rank grade two spirit beast which is as strong as a regular Rank-7 Gold Core Realm cultivator.
'I currently have a surplus of contribution points, so for now I do not need to sell this to the sect.'
'But it would be useful for something else...'
Arthur would be spending a lot of time in the mountains as he trains. And he will not be able to train for too long on an empty stomach.
He has not yet reached the realm where he doesn't need food to survive.
Arthur searched for a suitable and quiet place while he fought or rather killed most of the spirit beasts he encountered.
He didn't kill all as he does not need that much meat. So, he just trashed some and let them run away after that.
As he went deeper he encountered stronger spirit beasts and reached the territory of Grade Three Spirit Beasts.
It was there that he found a good location to practice.
Although grade three spirit beasts are as powerful as a Martial Origin Realm cultivator, they were not a challenge to Arthur.
"This should do it..."
Arthur arrived before a waterfall that had a cave behind it on a mountain that was not too tall like the others in this range.
The cave was located a hundred meters above the mountain and Arthur climbed the mountain and was able to enter the cave.
There was a small gap between the waterfall and the cave, and Arthur passed through that gap which a leap.
*Thud!*
He landed and looked around. e to disturb me when I am training then.'
"Alright, time to train..."
``````````
Arthur first practiced the movement technique, Wind Ride.
Wind Ride was divided into four levels, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Mastery level.
At the Beginner level, the practitioner's speed will be increased by thirty percent, forty-five percent for Intermediate, seventy percent for Advanced, and a hundred percent for Mastery.
And the greater your Wind Intent rank, the more swift the speed.
This was made with disciples who have wind nature martial spirits in mind. They will have a natural affinity and comprehension of the wind element, but even then it would take them months to learn and a few years to master. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
Geniuses would be able to reach the mastery level in a bit over a year.
Arthur stood within the cave, and suddenly in a silent manner, he moved so fast that he looked like he disappeared and appeared eleven meters away from the previous spot.
"The beginner level...if I master this technique I should be able to cross over twenty meters in a second."
"I can cover even more than that if I add my speed intent into the mix."
It was only a few hours but Arthur had already learned the wind ride technique. This will cause a big shock to anyone who hears it and this was just the beginning.
Half a day later...
"Intermediate level..."
A day later...
"Advanced Rank..."
Three days later...
"Mastery Level...Wind Ride," Arthur whispered to himself and moved.
*Swoosh!*
In an instant, he appeared over twenty meters away from his previous spot.
"27 meters in a second...that was better than expected. It should be because I comprehended wind intent."
This speed was already faster than your regular Peak Gold Core Realm Cultivator, which can only move at the speed of twenty-three meters per second.
Although this is their speed if they do not use any speed-enhancing movement technique. If they do, then they go reach thirty meters per second if they had mastered said technique
"But I haven't used my full wind intent yet. The manual said that the greater the practitioner's mastery over wind intent, the greater the speed."
Arthur released his tenth-level wind intent at full power and activated the wind ride movement technique.
"Wind Ride..."
*Swish!*
