Chapter 131: Waterspout!

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

The sky was completely covered in storm clouds which were blocking out the sun rays. The traffic was extremely congested on the road with blinding car lights. The pedestrians were busy looking for a spot to shelter themselves from the incoming thunderstorm.

It was at this precise moment that Ling Yun began dashing towards the Qingshui Lake in the dark, with Xue Meining and Ning Lingyu in his arms, at lightning speed!

Tie Xiaohu’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s as he fixed his stare on Ling Yun who was in front of him. With his long legs that resembled metal poles, he took long strides as he tried his best to follow Ling Yun as closely as possible, gritting his teeth as he endured the pain!

“What? See a dragon? Big Brother Ling Yun, you’re kidding, right? Dragons don’t exist!” Xue Meining looked up and asked.

In Ling Yun’s arms, Xue Meining noticed the refreshing scent emanating from Ling Yun’s body as she reveled in it endlessly, with enjoyment written all over her face.

Ning Lingyu was also looking at Ling Yun in utter disbelief, but she did not say a word as her brilliant eyes flashed with a glimmer of excitement.

This was the first time Ling Yun had embraced her in his arms like this! Ning Lingyu’s heart was about to leap out of her chest and her face was bright red. Her body trembled ever so slightly and she was completely tongue-tied!

Ling Yun avoided the pedestrians coming towards him as he dashed towards the lake at the speed of the light. Even though he as carrying two other people in his arms, his agile body was still able to move about skillfully as if he was just taking a stroll in the park.

This was because he was taking Tie Xiaohu’s speed into consideration. Otherwise, Tie Xiaohu would have lost sight of Ling Yun’s silhouette long ago even if he ran with all of his might.

As they continued speeding through the city endlessly, the shock in Tie Xiaohu’s eyes increased exponentially along with the determination that was glimmering in his eyes!

Right now, Ling Yun’s speed was even greater than when he had been playing catch with Tie Xiaohu’s body on the tracks! Even though he was carrying two people in his arms this time!

Tie Xiaohu also managed to overhear Ling Yun telling the girls that he was bringing them to see dragons. Surprise and excitement flashed across his eyes before disappearing without a trace as he thought to himself, Do dragons even exist? However, since Ling Yun said so, he definitely had his reasons, thus, Tie Xiaohu ran with all of his might!

As they continued running crazily through the city, Tie Xiaohu finally realized how much of an advantage Ling Yun had given him on the field. Right now, his maximum speed was nearly twice as fast as his previous top speed and he had managed to maintain this speed for so long. His body was light and his steps were agile as if his body possessed an endless amount of energy. He still had a lot of energy left even after maintaining this speed for 4 to 5 kilometers!

This…this is just unbelievable. What on earth did he do to my body?!

Ling Yun maintained his speed, looking up at the storm clouds occasionally. A wave of admiration also flashed across his gaze as he turned around to sneak a glance at Tie Xiaohu occasionally.

Ling Yun had determined that Tie Xiaohu’s body was vastly superior to an ordinary person’s body since he first laid eyes on him. Otherwise, he would not have spent that much energy and effort in giving him an internal cleansing!

If one described Tie Xiaohu as a piece of metal in the past, then Ling Yun had managed to transform him into a piece of rare steel!

Furthermore, this was only the beginning. Tie Xiaohu was a piece of pure gold in Ling Yun’s eyes. After his body had undergone internal cleansing, the best thing for him to practice was the Dayan Great Star Technique. Moreover, Tie Xiaohu’s resilience and perseverance were out of this world. If he manages to master the Dayan Great Star Technique, he would be of great help to Ling Yun in the future!

“Not bad! Let’s see if you can keep this up until we reach Qingshui Lake. However, it’s going to be torturous for you when we go up the mountain! Hehe!”

Ling Yun chuckled to himself while maintaining his speed as he continued dashing through the city.

To Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining, it felt as if they were flying through the air right now! Indeed, Ling Yun’s speed was even faster than an ordinary car!

The two beauties leaned their tiny little heads on Ling Yun’s chest as they stared at each other with different thoughts floating through their heads.

Big Brother didn’t let Lin Menghan leave. I thought Big Brother would have brought Lin Menghan along…

Seriously, he has to bring his little sister everywhere he goes. How great would it be if I was the only one in his arms? Even if it means I’ll be drenched to death, so be it…

Of course, neither of them believed Ling Yun’s nonsense. Dragons exist? They only exist in legends and fairytales!

The two gorgeous beauties drifted away in their own thoughts as they continued melting into Ling Yun’s embrace, in fear that he might ditch either of them anytime halfway through the journey.

Ling Yun tried his best to take shortcuts based on his memory of the time he had been heading over to Xue Meining’s house. He traveled in a straight line instead of making multiple turns like the cars on the road. In less than 10 minutes, Ling Yun had managed to cover 8 to 9 kilometers and arrived at Qingshui Lake.

Without a doubt, this was the spot where most of the storm clouds were gathering and the cloud cover was the thickest!

The sky here resembled the night sky and they could only rely on the glimmers of light coming from outside of Qingshui City to see through the darkness. All the houses and shops had their lights on in the dark and the lights reflected off the abnormally calm waters of Qingshui Lake, giving of an abstruse and mysterious vibe.

This sort of darkness was nothing to Ling Yun who had achieved the peak of Physique Tempering Stage Level 3. He stopped in his tracks and waited for about a minute until an out of breath Tie Xiaohu finally caught up with him. He then gave a faint smile and asked, “Not bad. Do you still have the strength to climb up the mountain?”

Right now, Tie Xiaohu is completely exhausted, similar to how Ling Yun had been when he vomited blood after his very first physique tempering session. Tie Xiaohu was completely drenched in sweat as if he had just taken a dip in Qingshui Lake. He bent over and looked down with his gigantic hands placed on his knees that were trembling violently, gasping to catch his breath!

However, his eyes were still as bright as ever and the determination in his eyes had never once faded. He mustered all his strength and lifted his head up to look at the peak of the highest mountain surrounding Qingshui Lake before clenching his teeth and exclaiming, “I do!”

Ling Yun had already seen Dragon Mountain from afar even before he had arrived at Qingshui Lake. Indeed, Dragon Mountain had a beautiful scenery as all the mountains were painted a bright green by the towering trees covering the mountains. Even though Dragon Mountain was only 500 to 600 meters in height, its beauty was beyond description, perfectly complimenting the beauty of Qingshui Lake.

“Alright, this is my last trial for you. You don’t have to reach the peak of the mountain with me, but you have to at least make it to Tiger Cliff if you do decide to climb the mountain. As long as you make your way up there, you can work for me in the future, understand?”

Ling Yun flashed a smile at Tie Xiaohu as he stated his conditions.

Tie Xiaohu kept his mouth zipped as he tried to inhale as much oxygen as he possibly could in an attempt to restore his energy, gathering his strength in preparation for climbing the mountain.

If it had been any other normal day, Tie Xiaohu would have been able to scale Mount Tai or Huangshan Mountain twice in a day without batting an eyelid, let alone this tiny little Dragon Mountain. However, he was completely exhausted right now and his legs couldn’t stop trembling. In his eyes, the tiny little Dragon Mountain before him was almost as terrifying to climb as the Himalayas!

Ling Yun gave a faint smile before looking at the ticket counter situated at the entrance of the Dragon Mountain Park. He then said to Tie Xiaohu, “Let me send you in!”

Judging by the evil smirk on Ling Yun’s face, Tie Xiaohu already knew that he was in for another ride. Ling Yun grabbed onto him before he even managed to react and tossed him into the Dragon Mountain Park with all his strength!

Even though Tie Xiaohu knew that Ling Yun would definitely be able to catch him as he fell, Ling Yun actually utilized all of his strength in his throw and the effect was more than 7 or 8 times the effect of what happened in the school field. Tie Xiaohu’s towering figure resembled an owl as he flew through the night sky, more than 20 meters above the ground, towards the Dragon Mountain Park at light speed!

“Wah——”

This was the first time Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining managed to witness Ling Yun’s true powers and capabilities. They couldn’t help but let out screams as they looked at Tie Xiaohu’s silhouette quickly blending into the darkness.

Once again, Ling Yun brought them both into an embrace and began demonstrating his Thousand Miles Godly Steps as he sped through the complete darkness, leaving a shadow trailing behind him. In a blink of an eye, he had managed to sneak into the Dragon Mountain Park and after a few leaps and turns, he put down the two beauties in his arms before turning around and looking up at the sky behind him.

As fearless as Tie Xiaohu was, this scared the life out of him. If Ling Yun missed, he might very well end up in a vegetative if he was even lucky enough to survive the fall! He closed his eyes and began praying to all the gods in the heavens as his body flew through the air.

Ling Yun caught sight of Tie Xiaohu’s towering figure flying towards him at high speed and proceeded to leap forward, extending both of his arms and catching Tie Xiaohu. In one swift move, Ling Yun utilized the momentum and shifted horizontally in mid-air before landing safely on the ground.

“Wah—— The Heaven and Earth Great Shift!”

Xue Meining’s big brilliant eyes are filled with stars as she looks at Ling Yun. Right now, Ling Yun’s performance no longer left Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining in a state of shock. All that was left was anticipation, excitement, as well as genuine admiration!

“Hey, how are you supposed to work for me in the future if you’re such a coward?” Ling Yun let a terrified Tie Xiaohu down gently before giving him a pat on his shoulder as he joked around with him.

“Boss, it’s not that I’m a coward. You’re just too much of an adrenaline junkie! If it was someone else, he would’ve peed himself in mid-air!” Tie Xiaohu’s feet finally came into contact with the ground and he only dared to open his eyes after a long time. He then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gulped down a mouthful of saliva before uttering those words.

Ling Yun did not say much. Instead, he pointed towards the mountain trail of the nearby Dragon Mountain and said to Tie Xiaohu, “What you have to do next is use all your strength and resilience to conquer this mountain trail. I’ll be waiting for you at Tiger Cliff!”

Right after these words left his mouth, Ling Yun couldn’t even be bothered with Tie Xiaohu anymore as he brought Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining into his arms and demonstrated his Thousand Miles Godly Steps once again before disappearing into the darkness.

“Amazing!” Looking at Ling Yun’s silhouette disappearing into the darkness, Tie Xiaohu could no longer hold in his admiration. He then stood up straight and took several deep breaths before marching steadily towards the Dragon Mountain trail.

How had he dared to pick up a fight with someone as amazing as Ling Yun? How had he dared to not surrender? Recalling his actions in the past, Tie Xiaohu found his stupidity rather hilarious!

There was not a single person in sight on Dragon Mountain, thus, Ling Yun did not hold back his abilities and used his Thousand Miles Godly Steps all the way up. The spiritual energy circulating within his body continuously provided him with an endless supply of energy as he sped up the mountain at the speed of light. All it took was 6 to 7 minutes for Ling Yun to reach the peak of the Dragon Mountain.

As she melted into Ling Yun’s embrace, Xue Meining noticed a cliff shaped like a tiger’s head in a distance and screamed, “Big Brother Ling Yun, that’s Tiger Cliff right there. I’ve been here so many times before!”

Ling Yun looked in the direction of Xue Meining’s finger and noticed the Tiger Cliff right away because the cliffs in that area had a clear resemblance to the head of a ferocious tiger with its mouth wide open towards Qingshui Lake.

At the altitude of over 500 meters above sea level, they could clearly see the edges of the storm clouds that were looming over the entire Qingshui City. They could even catch glimpses of sunrays that were exceptionally brilliant radiating from above, whereas their heads were still covered by ink-stained storm clouds that were blocking out the sun!

As the three of them stood at the peak of Dragon Mountain, it felt as if they were watching the sunrise on Mount Tai, except for the fact that all three of them knew that the sun was directly above the storm clouds, looming directly above their heads!

With help from the distant bright lights, Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining could begin to see their surroundings.

It was only when Ling Yun arrived at Tiger Cliff that he let go of both of these absolute beauties. He then gently dusted off his hands before looking at the calm waters of Qingshui Lake and smirking at the beauties. “So, what do you think? The scenery is great, isn’t it?”

All three of them leaned on the metal railing around the Tiger Cliff as they basked in the glory of the beautiful scenery. Dark storm clouds loomed over their heads as they stood over the mysterious waters of Qingshui Lake 500 meters beneath their feet. The brilliant sunrays illuminated the edges of the storm clouds, leaving streaks of rainbows in the sky. Not everyone is blessed enough to be able to witness such a beautiful scenery!

Ning Lingyu fixed her eyes on the scenery before her and kept quiet for a long time before finally opening her mouth. “Big brother, you’re amazing!”

Ning Lingyu had experienced the strong contrast between the dark and the light, the high and the low. The thought of her brother’s transformation from a useless piece of junk to a hero of unimaginable strength sent tears streaming down her cheeks as she was overwhelmed by her emotions.

Xue Meining still had her arms wrapped around Ling Yun and her entire body was basically glued to his. Her glittering eyes were fixed on Ling Yun as she cussed at him in her heart. We’re literally looking at a beautiful scenery that we will probably only come across once in our entire lives, why won’t you just lean in and kiss me?!

Ling Yun’s eyes glanced at the storm clouds looming over Qingshui lake occasionally. The dark cloud cover had sunk so low, Ling Yun could practically reach out his hand and touch the clouds. He then shifted his gaze towards the calm waters beneath his feet and thought to himself, It’s coming, it’s coming!

Three minutes had passed. A gentle breeze broke through the stale air. Ling Yun was the only one able to detect the change, whereas Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining were completely oblivious.

Ling Yun’s stare pierced through the waters beneath him. With his eyesight that had been enhanced ever since he achieved the peak of Physique Tempering Stage Level 3, he could clearly see the tiny ripples that had appeared on the smooth surface of the lake!

Suddenly, layers and layers of storm clouds that had been stacked together began to gather above Qingshui Lake quickly and the black screen that had been looming over the city shrunk by half of its size. Suddenly, the entire place brightened up!

A huge gust of wind began to blow without any warning!

Ling Yun quickly grabbed Xue Meining and Ning Lingyu into his arms and whispered into their ears. “Look!”

The thick storm clouds continued gathering together to the point where it resembled a black inkblot the size of a mountain, suspended in mid-air directly above the Qingshui Lake, that was about to drip down!

The huge inkblot morphed into the shape of an upside-down raindrop that was rounded at the top and pointed at the bottom. Suddenly, the inkblot made out of storm clouds dropped right into Qingshui Lake!

At the same time, huge gusts of wind sunk down along with the storm clouds, whipping up a huge water pillar right out of the center of Qingshui Lake. The huge and sparkly water pillar then spiraled towards the storm clouds and burrowed into it!

“Oh my god! Waterspout!”

“Wa! It’s actually a waterspout!”

Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining screamed as they witnessed the shocking scene unfolding before them. They even forgot to cover their mouths as their jaws hung wide open!

As it turned out, Ling Yun had brought them here to witness the legendary waterspout!

Ling Yun did not even bat an eyelid as he looked at the pillar of water spiraling upwards from the surface of the lake getting thicker by the second. He let out a deep breathe before shifting his gaze towards the dark storm clouds as he thought to himself…

Will there really be…a dragon?
