Chapter 19: Soaring into the Sky! Current limit: 5 meters!
"Grandpa, I want to try out my newly awakened abilities," Qing Mufeng said.
Qing Zhengyue raised an eyebrow: "What ability?"
Qing Mufeng did not answer, but closed his eyes.
He mobilized the newly awakened power within him.
It's not soul power, but something more fundamental, a talent etched into the Azure Dragon's bloodline.
Azure Dragon Riding the Wind.
He felt lighter.
It wasn't that his body had become lighter, but rather that some invisible force was supporting it.
That was the power of the wind, the omnipresent airflow between heaven and earth, which at this moment became his aid.
His feet left the ground.
One inch.
Two inches.
one foot.
Qing Mufeng opened his eyes, looked down at his dangling feet, and grinned widely.
He took flight.
No wings or soul skills were needed; it took flight on its own.
"this……"
Qing Hongyuan's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.
Shen Wanqing covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening.
Liu Yunlan froze on the spot, almost dropping the short dagger in her hand.
Even the usually composed Qing Zhengyue's pupils suddenly contracted, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly.
Wingless flight.
Without wings or any trace of outward manifestation of soul power, it simply and naturally left the ground.
This is unheard of in the Douluo Continent.
"Feng'er, you..." Qing Zhengyue's voice was a little tense, "How did you do that?"
Qing Mufeng hovered in mid-air, looking down at his family's shocked expressions, and said with a smile, "The third divine power is Azure Dragon Riding the Wind. Azure dragons don't need wings; they are born to fly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to climb upwards.
ten meters.
Twenty meters.
Fifty meters.
It was extremely fast, like a gust of wind, soaring straight into the sky.
Qing Zhengyue looked up at the increasingly smaller figure in the sky, his throat bobbed, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "This child's third supernatural ability... is flight?"
Liu Yunlan tilted her head back, tears streaming down her cheeks, but she was smiling: "Old man, our grandson can fly."
Qing Hongyuan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and carefully observed his son's flight path.
It doesn't ascend in a straight line, but rather hovers, flips, stops abruptly, and accelerates in the air.
Its agility was even more refined than that of avian spirit beasts.
"This isn't a soul skill," Qing Hongyuan murmured. "A soul skill couldn't be this natural... This sounds like instinct."
......
In the sky, Qing Mufeng soared freely.
The wind whistled past his ears, his hair flew back, and his robes fluttered.
But he didn't feel any discomfort; on the contrary, he felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
free.
True freedom.
The sky is high enough for birds to fly freely, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap freely.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person who had barely ever flown on an airplane.
In this life, at the age of six, he was able to fly into the sky on his own.
He spun around in the air a few times, feeling the flow of the wind.
Those invisible currents of air became clearly visible in his perception.
It's immediately clear where the air rises, where it descends, where it's turbulent, and where it's calm.
The perception of wind.
This is also part of Azure Dragon Riding the Wind.
He can sense changes in the airflow within a radius of a hundred feet. Any creature that enters this area will disturb the airflow and be detected by him immediately.
This is not just about flight capability, but also about a superior perception and early warning capability.
Qing Mufeng flew higher and higher.
One hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
At a height of 300 meters, he felt a tightness in his chest and his breathing became less smooth.
It wasn't a physical problem, but rather that the altitude was too high and the air had become thinner.
He knew he was nearing his limit, but he wanted to push himself a little further.
Let's see where the ultimate limit is.
He gritted his teeth and continued climbing.
Three hundred and fifty meters.
Four hundred meters.
Four hundred and fifty meters.
The pressure in my chest grew stronger, and my eardrums started to ring.
But his eyes were full of excitement.
It can go higher! It can go even higher!
500 meters!
The moment he broke through 500 meters, he finally felt his limit.
It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, making it extremely difficult to breathe. My head started to spin, and I felt like I was really going to die. This time it was real; there was no limit.
It can't go any higher.
Going any higher would really kill you.
Qing Mufeng stopped trying to be brave and instead turned his body around, head down, and swooped down to the ground like a shooting star.
The wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery on the ground magnified rapidly.
As he approached the ground, he suddenly slowed down, and the force of the wind formed a soft cushion beneath him, allowing him to land steadily in front of his family.
.....
"Five hundred meters," Qing Mufeng said, panting. "The limit is five hundred meters. At that height, my chest feels tight, I can't breathe, and if I go any higher, I might get injured."
Qing Zhengyue stepped forward, patted his grandson on the shoulder, his eyes filled with pride.
"Five hundred meters, do you know what that means?" the old man said. "Most flying-type Soul Masters, at the Soul Grandmaster level, are lucky to fly fifty meters. You flew five hundred meters directly, that's a tenfold difference!"
"Moreover, this is your innate divine ability, not a soul skill," Qing Hongyuan added. "Soul skills consume soul power and have a limited duration. Innate divine abilities consume very little power and can be used indefinitely."
Shen Wanqing's eyes lit up: "So, the wind can fly in the sky forever?"
"Theoretically, yes." Qing Zhengyue nodded: "As long as he doesn't feel tired, he can keep flying."
Liu Yunlan stepped forward, took her grandson's hand, and looked him up and down. The old lady's eyes were still red, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"My precious grandson," she said softly, "you are so much better than your grandfather. The future of the Qing family rests on your shoulders."
Qing Zhengyue was taken aback by his wife's words. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, and finally just hummed without refuting her.
.....
Qing Mufeng explained the effects of the Azure Dragon's Wind Control to his family in detail—wingless flight, increased speed, control over the wind, and perception of the wind.
The family members were shocked once again after hearing this.
"This is more than just flight." Qing Zhengyue pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Wind perception can provide early warnings, and wind control can be used for offense and defense. This one divine ability is equivalent to several other people's soul skills."
The old man looked at his grandson with a deep gaze.
"Mu Feng, you have mastered the three major soul skills of attack, healing, and defense, and each of your three supernatural abilities has its own use. With armor protecting your body and all your attributes soaring, and with your eye technique that dispels illusions and allows you to ride the wind, as long as you continue to advance steadily, your future achievements will be limitless."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"You are the same. You are all practicing the Azure Dragon Technique. Although you cannot fully master it, as long as you continue to study and integrate it, once your Azure Serpent Martial Soul completes its dragon transformation, you may be able to awaken similar bloodline supernatural abilities."
Qing Hongyuan took a deep breath, a burning glint in his eyes.
Dragon transformation.
Bloodline supernatural powers.
These words would have been unthinkable to him just three months ago.
But now, my father has said it, and he feels it is entirely possible.
Holding her grandson's hand, Liu Yunlan said softly, "Our Qing family is finally going to rise to prominence."
Shen Wanqing looked at her son, her husband, and her parents-in-law, her eyes slightly reddening, but a smile playing on her lips.
In the twenty years since she married into the Qing family, she has never felt so hopeful about the future.
