Chapter 418: Move
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li once developed a sword art on his own which was not a kind of Xuan Skill. Nonetheless, his was powerful as well. The only feature of his moves was fast, each move faster than the previous one.
For two months, Lu Li had been thinking that the Profound Meaning contained in the tornado must have something to do with wind or strength. After all, the force contained in the wind was formidable.
For two months, he had tried to feel the wind and the force in the tornado. He tumbled to the truth at this moment. He had been working in the wrong direction. What he should take away from the tornado was not the wind or the force, but the speed.
Fast!
Speed was actually a kind of force and could generate lethal effects.
For example, there was a rock. If it was an average rock, some warrior could just break it. But what if the rock was traveling at the fastest speed?
"Right. When the wind blows slowly, it is just a gentle breeze, and it can inflict no harm. Why is there such strength in the tornado? Why can it tear apart boats and rocks? That is because tornados are fast. The quicker it moves, the more force it generates as there is more inertia."
"The force generated is not from the wind itself, but the speed. Speed actually is another kind of power, a terrible power!"
"But… how can I make speed a terrible power? If I want to run fast, I must have a strong body. In other words, warriors need to have physical strength. If so, then why would they need to turn speed into strength?"
Lu Li was deep in thoughts. He needed the horrible speed and transform that into powerful strength. But speed should be using strength as the foundation. If he was already strong, then he wouldn't need to transform speed.
This was a conflict!
"Without strength, I have no speed. No… wind is gentle. Wind does not have strength at first. Then how come it moves so quickly?"
Lu Li opened his eyes. He was spinning in the tornado and he was still suffering tearing pain. But he gazed into the tornado regardless of all that and tried to tumble to the truth.
"How does the tornado come into place at the beginning?"
This was a critical issue Lu Li thought of. Since wind was gentle at first, then where did the tornado come from? If he could answer the question, he could figure out the Profound Meaning.
"Spinning!"
Suddenly, he squinted. The difference between a tornado and average wind was that tornados spun. Lu Li squinted and looked at the tornado for a long time. Suddenly, he understood something. He laughed and said, "Ha, ha, ha, I finally know it. Tornadoes can spin, and it borrows strength from heaven and earth. The spinning gives it power to attract more strength from heaven and earth and make it faster. It goes on and on like this, a cycle, ha, ha, ha…"
Lu Li laughed like a crazy man. He was so excited that he accidentally released his Dragon Roar and spread his laughter across a wide area.
Many scouts lurking around were taken aback—did the emperor lose his mind after spinning in the tornado for two months?
"Whoosh~"
Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, and Ye Cha flew out from their cabins. They stood on the deck and looked at Lu Li with worry. Bai Qiuxue even wanted to go over to the tornado but Ye Cha stopped her.
"Don't worry. I think Young Master must have felt something. This is good…"
Ye Cha looked at Lu Li with surprise. This young man was not even 17 and he could already taste the Profound Meaning at the Fate Wheel Realm?
If he was successful, Lu Li could go deeper and then refine the Profound Meaning. Even second or third-rank Profound Meanings could add a lot to his abilities.
Actually, Lu Li was quite powerful already. He could kill warriors at the Noble Lord Realm. Ye Cha put on a bitter smile as he felt ashamed as an elder warrior compared to Lu Li.
"Eh?"
Bai Xiashuang let out a call of surprise. Ye Cha turned to Lu Li and witnessed something shocking.
Lu Li controlled his Fate Wheel to fly, not to the outside, nor along with the tornado. He was flying against it.
That was right!
Against the wind. He was flying against such a horrifying tornado?! For two months, he had tried many times to break free but eventually failed. The strength of the tornado was evidently horrible. How come he had chosen to fly against it now?
More importantly—he really did it!
He could not move fast and he was spinning, but Ye Cha and the twins could see that Lu Li was really flying headwind.
He acted like a man washed away by the tides. He tried to swim upstream and he paddled and paddled.
It was a funny scene with such a horrible tornado, and Lu Li looked much like an ant in the water. This ant, however, tried to shake the world.
"Um…"
What made others more surprised was that Lu Li was flying faster and faster. He could be as quick as the tornado now. It seemed like Lu Li was not moving, but the tornado was spinning around.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Bai Xiashuang's jaw dropped, realizing how Lu Li had beaten the force and was flying faster. Like a powerful tornado, Lu Li strolled on the water.
"Move—"
With a shout, Lu Li slowed down, then the tornado collapsed in midair without any sign. It just broke apart and vanished. There was no more tornado and wind was dying down in nearby areas.
If it were not for the fact that there was still a swirl in the lake, they would think that there never was a tornado.
"He really has touched the surface of the Profound Meaning. Saint Lord really is really worthy of this name and he is so talented. We may be able to go back to our ancestral land under the leadership of our Saint Lord."
Tears ran down Ye Cha's wrinkled cheeks. Lu Li must have scratched the surface of Profound Meaning if he was able to break free from the tornado. He was so young now so he must be able to master it in the future. Also, this Profound Meaning must be more than just second or third-rank ones.
"Lu Li, that is so awesome!"
Bai Xiashuang finally came to her senses and shouted. For her, the tornado was as horrible as thunders. It came from the nature's force, and that was something that could not be fought against or be close to. Lu Li had broken one up? So Lu Li had the power to fight against the force contained in heaven and earth?
Bai Qiuxue's eyes glowed. She looked at the young man in midair, her eyes full of affection and love. This was a man she liked, a man that deserved her.
"Whoosh~"
Lu Li flew his Fate Wheel and came back, wearing a big smile. He was imbued with joy. He could not know how good this Profound Meaning was, but he did scratch the surface.
In other words, he had opened a door. If he carried on, he would master it sooner or later.
He turned to Bai Qiuxue. They looked at each other with ardent passion. Those in love had only each other in their eyes. They would like to share everything with each other, every piece of joy…
However!
When Lu Li saw Bai Xiashuang, who was standing next to Bai Qiuxue with excitement, he lost his good mood. This third wheel was the biggest barrier standing between him and Bai Qiuxue. He could not do anything with Bai Xiashuang around. Even holding Bai Qiuxue's hands would be felt by Bai Xiashuang…
