316 Bi Fang 316 Bi Fang Several days later, in a mountain range south of Demon Capital.
“Do you know who has the highest achievements in martial skills with weapons under the King Level in Demon Capital?” Yang Yifeng asked as he climbed the steep green mountain.
Following behind Yang Yifeng, Su Yuan shook his head and replied, “I don’t know much about experts at the Sun, Moon, and Star Levels, so I ask for your guidance, teacher.”
Yang Yifeng slowly said, “It’s the master of this mountain.”
Su Yuan looked toward the mountain. “Higher than you, teacher?”
Yang Yifeng chuckled, “Strictly speaking in terms of martial skills, they’re stronger than me.”
“Oh?”
*Su Yuan felt a tinge of surprise in his heart.*
*To be honest, Su Yuan hadn’t witnessed Yang Yifeng in action, so he wasn’t sure of his true abilities.*
*Still, as the former No. 1 in the preliminary selection sequence and a powerful figure of the Sky Patrol Department, Su Yuan always assumed that Yang Yifeng’s strength was exceptional.*
*But now, hearing that someone on this mountain surpassed Yang Yifeng in martial skills really piqued Su Yuan’s curiosity.*
Yang Yifeng continued, “This individual is famous for mastering both saber and bow. They’ve created over a hundred skills related to those weapons, nearly ten of them being of Epic Grade!”
“That’s incredible!”
Su Yuan was genuinely astonished. A single person who created nearly ten Epic Martial Skills—such extraordinary talent was nothing short of monstrous.
The Martial Skills from Star Skills, like saber techniques, boxing arts, and weapon mastery, could only rarely be obtained from humanoid Star Beasts.
Apart from that, most of these techniques were “engraved” by experts who developed self-created martial skills. However, repeatedly engraving a skill into a Star Skill required immense effort and cost.
Yang Yifeng explained slowly, “Since I also wield a saber, I’ve exchanged knowledge with them a few times, which is why we’re acquainted.”
“May I ask this senior’s name?”
Yang Yifeng smiled faintly. “No rush. You’ll naturally find out when we reach the top.”
Su Yuan nodded and continued climbing behind Yang Yifeng.
The green mountain wasn’t particularly tall, but Yang Yifeng’s deliberate pace meant it took two to three hours to ascend.
During this process, Su Yuan’s view expanded, his mind cleared, and his many distractions dissipated.
*”A heart as still as a mirror lake, faintly illuminated—this state upon reaching the mountain top seems conducive to cultivation.”* Su Yuan exhaled deeply as the mountain path concluded.
Yang Yifeng smiled and said, “Not flying directly here but walking this path serves two purposes: one is to show respect for the master of these mountains, and the second is precisely for this reason.
The path is lined with Dingxian Wood and Heart Nourishing Trees. Walking along it clears the mind and instills calmness.”
“I see now…”
Su Yuan turned to observe the trees on both sides and nodded slightly.
Dingxian Trees and Heart Nourishing Trees were Spirit Plants of Levels Two and Three, respectively, known for their ability to dispel distractions and cleanse the heart.
“Old Yang, you haven’t visited in quite a number of years, have you?”
At this moment, a resonant and confident voice echoed from the flat summit of the mountain.
Su Yuan immediately looked up to see a woman with red hair bound by golden pins and dressed in a brocade robe.
She was sitting by a stone table under a golden parasol tree near the cliff’s edge. A teapot of clear tea rested on the table, making it clear she had been expecting Yang Yifeng’s arrival and had prepared accordingly.
There was no doubt; this had to be the master of the mountain.
“Hahaha, about seven or eight years, give or take!” Yang Yifeng greeted from afar, then began heading toward her with Su Yuan trailing behind.
Yang Yifeng sat down while Su Yuan positioned himself behind him.
The dignified woman glanced at Su Yuan and spoke, “This is your student, isn’t it? Su Yuan?”
Su Yuan froze for a moment, surprised the senior expert knew his name. He immediately bowed and greeted, “Greetings, senior.”
Yang Yifeng introduced Su Yuan, “This is from the Ming King Mansion—Bi Fang.”
She’s Bi Fang!
Su Yuan stared at the woman before him, bowing again. “Senior Bi Fang.”
*Su Yuan understood why she might know his name—being someone who possessed Peacock Feather and associated closely with Luo Bingtong.*
*That said, he realized he’d met all three Great Demons of the Ming King Mansion—the Bai Ze, the Qiongqi, and now Bi Fang.*
*Strangely, though, he hadn’t encountered any Burning Sun experts among humanity outside his academy instructors.*
*However…such a martial arts prowess being a Demon Beast was unexpected.*
Yang Yifeng took a sip of tea and remarked to Bi Fang, “After all these years, this Ginseng Tea still tastes just as it did before. Mm…you yourself are still as young and beautiful as ever!”
*Hearing this, Su Yuan nearly lost his composure.*
*Wow, his teacher really could say anything…*
*Still, judging by the exchange, their relationship seemed quite close.*
“Spare me, you cheeky old man with no sense of decorum.” Bi Fang raised an eyebrow, then glanced at Su Yuan and asked, “Out with it. What game are you playing this time, bringing a student along?”
“Can’t fool you, huh~” Yang Yifeng chuckled, crossing his legs and pretending to speak casually. “Honestly, I just wanted to see if you had any good martial skills lying around. Wouldn’t want them to go to waste.”
