Chapter 641: Chapter 642: High-Speed Advance_1

"Are high-speed waterways really that miraculous?"

Old Master Xia Yu was somewhat skeptical. Although Feng Yuan had just explained the uses of the high-speed waterways to them, they still couldn’t quite picture the specifics. Feng Yuan shrugged and said,

"Talking about it won’t do much good. It’s better to experience it directly to know. However, it’s best to communicate with the others first before departing because the speed of movement on the high-speed waterway is very fast, and unless you reach the destination, you can’t stop."

"As for exiting midway, that’s even more impossible."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan glanced at the high-speed waterway and said,

"There are barriers on both sides of the waterway; otherwise, it would be troublesome if fish or something else accidentally entered during high-speed travel."

After a moment of silence, Old Master Xia Yu said something to the elder next to him, and soon someone left the crowd, diving into the sea to ride away on a Spirit Beast from Pearl Town. It took them a while to return.

It was only after stepping onto the high-speed waterway that everyone understood why Feng Yuan had said that. At this moment, Island Jellyfish were moving forward at an unbelievable speed. Old Master Xia Yu looked in amazement at the clouds shifting rapidly above. There were no waves on the sea at the moment, and those clouds were simply drifting slowly.

But the sheer speed of the Island Jellyfish below was such that, even though there were no other points of reference around, everyone could guess from the overhead clouds alone that the speed was incredibly fast.

"I’m going back to rest now,"

Feng Yuan said, yawning. Next to him, Cheng Yong grabbed hold of Feng Yuan and asked,

"Is there anything else we need to be careful of?"

"No, there’s hardly any danger on the high-speed waterway, unless someone breaks the barrier set up by Delong Tower."

"As for time, well, we should arrive by tomorrow morning."

"That fast!"

Everyone had seen the sea charts, and based on their island-type Spirit Beasts, it would have been difficult to reach the Omeilia Region in less than about a month. Feng Yuan glanced at Cheng Yong and said,

"Why else would it be called a high-speed waterway? But this is just for this once. Afterward, you all will have to travel on your own, after all, Delong Tower won’t just set this up for you without good reason."

Ignoring the whispering crowd, Feng Yuan carried Xiao Ji back to the temporary camp. Seeing there were no outsiders around, Guo Huai whispered in Feng Yuan’s ear,

"Isn’t a modern high-speed waterway a common method now? How come..."

"That was only during the middle period of the Dynasty Era, at the start of the Great Navigation Era, and it was established at the behest of emperors who offered resources to request Delong Tower to build it. Otherwise, why do you think Delong Tower would bother creating something like that?"

"Now... well, even if you were to combine all the Maritime People and the Aquatic People, I doubt they could gather enough resources. Just think about it, the number of interregional high-speed waterways has not changed in modern times."

"Okay..."

Following Feng Yuan’s explanation, Guo Huai loosened his grip and checked the information provided by the system. He was just asking casually; he wasn’t necessarily trying to get Feng Yuan to set up a high-speed waterway in advance.

Feng Yuan poked the Illusory Sound Parrot’s little head and said,

"You’re quite impressive, having nearly learned all of the Elemental Sphere’s abilities."

The Illusory Sound Parrot sounded proud, flapping its wings occasionally. Although Lorraine Tower had only casually taught it some tricks, it knew opportunities were precious and continuously pestered Lorraine Tower to master more. As a result, Lorraine Tower sent it back before Feng Yuan and the others returned to land.

Xiao Ji looked at the Illusory Sound Parrot with envy, occasionally giving a pitiful cry. Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji’s head and said,

"What are you envious of? It can only learn the lower attribute tricks; you can use higher attribute tricks, so there’s nothing to be envious about."

Xiao Ji nuzzled against Feng Yuan, who smiled and rubbed its head, saying,

"Alright, I’ll help you prepare for evolution once we get back. Although it’s a bit rushed, after school starts and we wait another month, you should just barely reach the limit necessary for evolution."

"So soon?"

Guo Huai looked at Xiao Ji with curiosity. Normally, a Native Level Spirit Beast would need about eight months to reach the evolutionary limit. For Xiao Ji, even by the time mentioned by Feng Yuan, it would have only been around seven months.

Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji and said,

"It’s about time. Don’t forget its potential. If there’s only a small gap, we can still find a way."

Xiao Ji jumped excitedly from Feng Yuan’s arms. Watching the delighted Xiao Ji, Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"If it doesn’t work out when the time comes, you’re going to have a lot of trouble."

"It won’t come to that; I can still tell these things. In fact, right after school starts, it will be barely ready, but that wouldn’t be too good for it..."

Watching Xiao Ji hop away into the distance, Guo Huai whispered,

"Actually, you have a way to make it grow quickly, right?"

Feng Yuan was startled and stared at Guo Huai before saying,

"There is, but I don’t want to do that."

"Why not?"

"Because for every stage, the growth of a Spirit Beast, just like with us humans, is the same. Is it really good to make it grow up too early?"

"Or say, if you could go from just being born to adulthood in just one year, would you be happy?"

"This..."

Guo Huai fell silent, and the Agunas phantom glanced at Feng Yuan and flicked its tail, saying,

"It’s not the same, that’s just a difference in strength."

"There’s no difference, when its power becomes stronger, will it still feel as happy as now learning a little ultimate move?"

"Moreover, it doesn’t lack offensive methods right now."

Agunas’s phantom flicked its tail and stared at Xiao Ji, who was hopping around in front of them and looking back at Feng Yuan from time to time. Although it didn’t quite agree with Feng Yuan’s words, it couldn’t refute them; with increased strength, things that once satisfied easily became meaningless.

"Are they still discussing?"

Feng Yuan glanced over at Wei Dingwu, who had just walked in. Wei Fangwu was busy training with his White Ape, Mo Li had been dragged off somewhere by Mo Ling and Yao Yin, and Liu Wenli glanced at Feng Yuan lying on the sun lounger and said,

"Don’t you want to go for a stroll?"

"There’s nothing interesting to browse; haven’t we seen all there is to see?"

"I don’t understand why they argue over trivial matters for so long."

Wei Dingwu sighed and said, Liu Wenli looked at Wei Dingwu and commented,

"Because they’re bored, with nothing else to do, they might as well fight for the benefits of their own people; that’s probably what they all think."

"But..."

Recalling the scene at Pearl Square that resembled a quarrel and even getting so heated that someone seemed ready to use a stool to physically persuade the opponent, it all seemed a bit... strange.

"I’m sorry you had to see such a farce."

Cheng Yong said helplessly; it was the first time he had seen the elders like Xia Yu fuss over something like this, not losing to the younger generation in their arguments. Liu Wenli pushed Feng Yuan’s sun lounger and suggested,

"How about a trip to Sea God Mountain?"

Glancing at Liu Wenli, Feng Yuan said irritably,

"No, they just announced the mountain is off-limits, what’s the point of going there now?"

"Aren’t you the one who loves breaking rules?"

"Not interested."

Feng Yuan, while saying this, took out a pitch-black Ancient Book, opened it, and rested it on his face, adding,

"Don’t disturb my sleep."

Glaring at Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli stood up and straightened her clothes. Wei Dingwu, with a smile, suggested,

"If there’s nothing to do, how about a friendly spar?"

Liu Wenli glanced at Wei Dingwu and said resignedly,

"Alright... although I’m not particularly keen."

After saying this, Liu Wenli glared at Feng Yuan again, but the latter showed no reaction.

"Hoo hoo~ It seems everyone’s asleep now~"

Feng Yuan looked out the window into the night, where only stars were still illuminating the earth, the candlelights on Pearl Square had long been extinguished. He picked up the soundly sleeping Xiao Ji beside him, glanced at the rhythmically kicking Pomiti, who was deep in sleep, and decided to ask the Little Green Snake that had been startled awake by his movement in a soft voice,

"Take care of Pomiti for me, will you~"

The Little Green Snake shook its tail and nodded in agreement. After a glance at the small pile of mail birds huddled together, Feng Yuan gently put on his cape and tiptoed out of the room.

Being inside the supplementary space of the Island Jellyfish, aside from the changing scenery around him, there was no sense of rapid movement. Delong Tower was currently resting in the waters of Island Jellyfish’s supplementary space. Since the high-speed route had been established, it no longer needed to lead the way. Sensing something, Delong Tower emerged from the sea, puzzled, and the guards on the beach showed surprise at its sudden appearance.
