Chapter 799: Chapter 269: Yang Lezhi in the Desert

"Yang Lezhi, I’m going to Shenchu City to see my dad. You stay here in West Martial and focus on your training. Don’t follow me!"

Xu Baiyan said seriously.

"No way, I also want to meet your dad, the famous Prince Qing. I haven’t seen him yet!"

Yang Lezhi shook his head.

"Don’t make stuff up, you just met in Jiangyuan Country!"

Xu Baiyan rolled her eyes at Yang Lezhi.

"But... won’t you be in danger by yourself?"

Yang Lezhi hesitated to speak.

She always felt there was something odd about Xu Baiyan.

"Listen, stay in West Martial, and wait for me to come back. I promise I’ll be your girlfriend!"

As Xu Baiyan finished speaking, she impulsively kissed Yang Lezhi.

Crunch!

Yang Lezhi’s mind went blank.

He felt like he was standing on a cloud, almost ready to fly.

I want to ascend to the heavens, happiness is boundless.

Xu Baiyan actually kissed me.

Heavens above, I, Yang Lezhi, am finally getting out of singleness.

And Xu Baiyan ran out of North Martial’s gates like a madwoman.

Damn!

Did I have my head slammed in a door?

Why did I impulsively kiss Yang Lezhi, it’s crazy, I’m really crazy.

It must be the aftereffects.

My mind is not clear!

All the way, Xu Baiyan was muttering to herself.

As for the promise to Yang Lezhi, it is what it is. I’m getting older, after all, one must have a romance.

First, go find Dad and tell him about the danger.

As long as Dad is prepared, even if Cang Ji can really kill a Ninth Grade, he can’t kill Dad.

Xu Baiyan knew that Su Qingfeng could suppress Qi rings. Although he was at the Eighth Grade, escaping wasn’t difficult for him.

As for who the Ninth Grade that Cang Ji wanted to kill was, Xu Baiyan didn’t know either.

But this was not something a minor Martial Artist like her could handle, and a Ninth Grade wouldn’t listen to her warning and hide on Earth.

...

The next day.

Yang Lezhi, with red eyes, had stayed up all night in the dormitory, finally translating the absolute battle method inside the mask.

On large sheets of rice paper, there were countless lines of translated text.

Yang Lezhi had reached this step in his cultivation not because he was mediocre, but because he was among the top tier.

"An unparalleled battle method!"

"And it’s an unparalleled demonic battle method.

"I, Yang Lezhi, will finally have my own unparalleled battle method. I’m going to walk the path of invincibility.

"Xu Baiyan, don’t worry, no matter what secrets you hold, since I said I would protect you, I definitely can!"

Yang Lezhi memorized the battle method thoroughly, then tore the rice paper into shreds.

...

Sand Demon Technique!

Consists of two parts.

The first part is Sand Illusion.

Once mastered, it can extract all the moisture from the surrounding soil, then revert the earth into grains of sand.

These sands can then cover the caster’s body, forming a layer of camouflage.

But it can only disguise as natural scenery. With any movement, the disguise will dissipate.

The disguise cannot be penetrated by Spiritual Qi, but it cannot be touched.

The strongest effect of Sand Illusion is that it can disguise others together.

Of course, the number of people disguised depends on the caster’s Qi Blood strength.

The cultivation of Sand Illusion is not difficult.

It’s clearly described in the mask, and one can train in the depths of the human desert.

To be fair, this Sand Illusion is only at the level of an excellent battle method.

It’s only a prerequisite for the second stage of the Sand Demon Technique.

Only by mastering Sand Illusion can one obtain the detailed method for the second stage.

This is quite similar to Su Yue’s Demon Language.

Demon Language is the first stage, while Bewitchment is the essence.

Of course, Su Yue cultivates much faster, something Yang Lezhi can only admire.

"No wonder it’s an unparalleled battle method, it even has a first and second stage.

"The first stage is already so complex; the second stage must be so difficult it’s out of this world."

Yang Lezhi frowned.

The first stage, Sand Illusion, is at the level of an excellent battle method, but it requires personal comprehension.

This is where Yang Lezhi’s aptitude shines; others might not even crack the Sand Illusion stage.

As for what the second stage is... Yang Lezhi has no idea.

"I’ll leave a message for Xu Baiyan; I’m off to train hard too. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"The desert, oh dear... such a harsh training environment, will I be sun-dried to a crisp?

"Who would have thought, I, Yang Lezhi, would run to a desert to train a battle method? Should I bring some sunscreen and a tent?"

Yang Lezhi contemplated with a frown.

Upon reflection, this Sand Illusion doesn’t seem very useful.

Disguised as a tree or rock, you can only squat there and constantly consume Qi Blood.

Can’t move, can’t be touched by others.

And it can only disguise as natural things, meaning processed furniture is out.

With Fifth Grade Qi Blood, I suppose the disguise lasts only a few minutes.

All things considered, it’s a rather useless battle method.

In the few minutes of disguise, there’s not even time to gather intelligence.

But this is just the prerequisite for the second stage, the real power of the Sand Demon Technique is in the second stage.

Yang Lezhi is eager to find out.

Deciding to go.

Yang Lezhi first went to the student council and handed over all his duties to the vice president.

Amidst congratulatory messages, Yang Lezhi informed his mentor and began researching which desert had the harshest climate.

The Sand Demon Technique is clearly recorded.

The harsher the conditions, the faster the cultivation speed.

But for the second stage, maybe it’ll require training in a humid environment, Earth’s deserts can only support training for the first stage.

After a series of searches and selections, Yang Lezhi even posted inquiries on the Martial Arts Network.

Finally, he set his sights on a vast and desolate desert.
