In the desolate mountains and wilderness with rare human traces, yet Jun Changxiao taking off his boots like this was really somewhat uncivilized!
If it were Ye Xingchen, he absolutely couldn’t do it.
Because this was a quality issue, and also a principle issue!
Jun Changxiao didn’t care. He took off one, then took off the other, behaving very casually, even lifting his foot and sniffing, “Mm, doesn’t smell.”
Gah!
Night Emperor turned directly to stone!
As a sect leader, he could actually do such an extremely undignified thing!
Thinking about how he’d just received the manual from his hands, Ye Xingchen, who had a bit of a cleanliness obsession, almost ran to the stream to wash his hands frantically!
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao waved his hand and took out the newly crafted Cloud Stepping Boots.
Because the auxiliary material was hide, they were leather shoes, light white in color, looking a bit large.
However.
After putting on the Cloud Stepping Boots, they magically shrank and matched his feet, not only fitting but quite comfortable.
Only then did Ye Xingchen realize the Sect Leader was changing boots. However, lifting his foot to smell it—that operation was really too showy.
“Tap tap.”
After putting on the Cloud Stepping Boots, Jun Changxiao tiptoed and said, “I feel my body is a bit lighter than before.”
“Swish!”
While speaking, he strode out with the long legs that could only be photoshopped in PS and started running. His speed was clearly faster than before.
But with only 10% speed boost, without running for a long time, it was hard to intuitively feel.
“Hm?”
Ye Xingchen had been paying attention to Jun Changxiao. He clearly saw that the instant his feet made contact with the ground, the newly changed boots would have faint glimmers of light.
He secretly speculated, “Could it be some kind of treasure that increases movement technique speed?”
Strictly speaking, medium-grade Cloud Stepping Boots couldn’t be considered treasures, only classified as equipment.
After testing normal running, Jun Changxiao executed Cloud Stepping footwork. With speed increased by 20%, there was immediately a very obvious change!
The flowing light flashing from the Cloud Stepping Boots was also somewhat brighter than before.
It could be seen.
When speed increased, the glow would intensify.
More impressive was the enhanced jumping function. When Jun Changxiao leaped up, he increased from twenty zhang to twenty-four zhang.
“Step.”
After landing smoothly, he clapped his hands and smiled, “Wearing them on my feet is not only comfortable but also increases speed—truly killing two birds with one stone.”
Increase speed?
As expected, he guessed right.
This newly changed pair of boots was a treasure that could enhance movement technique speed!
Night Emperor had not only seen but also possessed quite a few defensive and offensive treasures in his previous life, but speed-type treasures were extremely rare.
The Sect Leader was indeed well-stocked!
No good, no good.
Must perform even better to obtain such a treasure.
Ye Xingchen knew better than anyone the importance of martial techniques, equipment, and treasures to a martial cultivator!
…
After testing the Cloud Stepping Boots, Jun Changxiao sat cross-legged and began comprehending Mountain Collapse Earth Splitting Fist. The Forge Pavilion continued mechanized crafting.
An hour later.
Several more pairs were crafted.
Boom!
Just then, a booming sound came from the distance.
Jun Changxiao looked up and saw Ye Xingchen punch the rock wall where Xiao Zuiji had tested his gun earlier. The wall immediately displayed dense web-like cracks.
Li Qingyang walked over, surprised, “Junior Martial Brother Ye, you’ve already comprehended Mountain Collapse Earth Splitting Fist?”
“Mm.” Ye Xingchen said.
He had only initially comprehended it, still far from small achievement. However, the punch he’d just executed added at least thirty thousand in strength.
Ye Xingchen’s comprehension of Explosive Fist was already at the extreme. When executed, the increased strength was at most twenty thousand.
Now merely comprehending Mountain Collapse Earth Splitting Fist added this much—worthy of an Extreme-grade High-tier fist technique!
“Tsk tsk.”
Jun Changxiao cupped his chin, “My disciple truly has divine speed cultivating System martial techniques.”
“Come, come.”
He beckoned, “This Seat has something to say to you all.”
Li Qingyang and the others walked over.
Jun Changxiao waved his hand and took out several pairs of newly crafted Cloud Stepping Boots, “At Huashan’s summit, raising our Tiegu Sect’s prestige—these Cloud Stepping Boots are your reward.”
Ye Xingchen was overjoyed.
Earlier he’d been thinking about obtaining such a treasure through performance. He didn’t expect the Sect Leader would send them over!
“Thank you, Sect Leader!”
Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji accepted them.
Jun Changxiao said, “These Cloud Stepping Boots can increase movement technique speed. You can put them on and try.”
“Really?”
Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji’s eyes immediately brightened, then without any reservations sat on rocks and began changing boots.
Lu Qianqian also received some.
However, being a girl after all, she definitely wouldn’t do something like taking off boots in public.
As for our Night Emperor with a cleanliness obsession, holding the light and fluffy Cloud Stepping Boots, his facial expression became extremely colorful.
Should he change now?
Or wait until returning to the sect to change?
“Sect Leader!”
Xiao Zuiji changed first, then jumped around joyfully, “After putting on the Cloud Stepping Boots, I feel my body has lightened considerably!”
“I have this feeling too!” Li Qingyang also put them on.
Jun Changxiao smiled, “Normal running will increase speed by one-tenth compared to before. If executing movement techniques, it will increase by two-tenths compared to before.”
“This amazing?”
Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji immediately widened their eyes.
Running ten zhang normally gaining an extra zhang, executing movement techniques to run ten zhang gaining an extra two zhang—this was definitely extremely formidable!
Swish! Swish!
On the open grassland, Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji began testing.
They would sprint swiftly, would execute movement techniques, until they stopped and said joyfully in unison, “These Cloud Stepping Boots are too miraculous!”
“…”
Ye Xingchen beside them lowered his head, clenching his fists.
At this moment, he was enduring tremendous spiritual torment in his heart. His entire mind was thinking about whether or not to take off his boots and put on the Cloud Stepping Boots to try.
No good, no good!
In his previous life, he was at least a Wudi. How could he be like these common mortals, doing such things in public…
Wait!
That was only the previous life.
I’m not a Wudi now!
That being the case, why stick to trifles!
Change! Change! Change!
The iron-willed Ye Xingchen sat on a rock, swiftly took off his boots, put on the Cloud Stepping Boots, and began running impatiently.
Night Emperor.
Where’s your quality? Your principles?
Swish! Swish!
After a round of testing, Ye Xingchen stopped, his heart extremely firm, “These boots that increase speed—how could Xingyun Continent craft them? They must come from the Upper Realm!”
Our Night Emperor had already gone deeper and deeper on the road of “Jun Changxiao comes from the Upper Realm,” increasingly unable to extricate himself.
Understandable.
After all, there were too many strange and bizarre martial dao resources!
“Set out.”
Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers.
On the road, he still didn’t forget to comprehend Mountain Collapse Earth Splitting Fist, but unknowingly entered a dark mountain forest.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Cold wind blew, making one’s hair stand on end.
Jun Changxiao surveyed the area and murmured, “Why didn’t we encounter this when we came?”
The System said speechlessly, “When coming, the host was searching everywhere for mountain bandits, not following normal routes, naturally perfectly avoiding it.”
“Sect Leader.”
Li Qingyang said gravely, “There are probably powerful fierce beasts here.”
“Woof!”
Hurricane Wolf King let out a low growl, as if telling its master the mountain forest was extraordinary and not to set foot lightly.
After thorough and careful consideration, Jun Changxiao said, “Let’s go. We’ll go in and look around. Perhaps we can find some treasure.”
Swish!
Swish!
Just as they were about to enter, from the depths of the dark mountain forest, a martial cultivator suddenly darted out, with multiple wounds on his body, fresh blood flowing freely.
“Thud!”
After staggering and running wildly for a bit, he fell ten meters away from everyone, his face full of weakness, “Everyone… please save…”
Before finishing his words, Jun Changxiao rode Hurricane Wolf King and led his disciples around him, as if not seeing him at all.
The injured martial cultivator’s facial muscles froze, then collapsed on the ground, lamenting sadly, “The world is declining, people’s hearts are not what they used to be!”
