Chapter 39: Hiding
'Flying Dou Technique!' Xiao Ming's pupils shrank.
Flying Dou Techniques were the rarest of all types of Dou Techniques.
The Flying Dou Technique was a strange secret technique that could enable the practitioner to form two small extensions that protruded from the veins on one's back, and as long as these two extensions were extended, then even if his strength did not reach the level of a Dou King, he would still be able to condense his wings and fly through the air.
Flying is a temptation that makes many people's hearts flutter, and to pursue this temptation, many people strive to reach the unattainable Dou King realm.
In addition, many of the methods to do Flying Dou Technique had been lost, which increased the level of appreciation of it.
In all the times Xiao Ming had used the life simulator, he had only seen the words "Flying Dou Technique" in the Jia Ma Academy Book Collection.
One could imagine how rare this Flying Dou Technique was.
After seeing that what he held in his hand was a Flying Dou Technique, Xiao Ming's breathing sharpened imperceptibly.
Everyone's dream was to soar into the sky, and Xiao Ming was naturally very interested in flying, which was the best guarantee for escape.
His realm was only Dou Grandmaster's realm now, and there was no telling how long it would take him to rely on himself to reach the strength of a Dou King and soar into the skies.
Now that he had an additional Flying Dou Technique in his hands, it would allow him to live the addiction to flying.
Xiao Ming had the need to cultivate this Dou Technique at this time, the cultivation of Flying Dou Techniques was often much faster than other Dou Techniques, so he could also have an additional method to protect his life in the Secret Realm.
However, after seeing the rank of the Dou Technique, Xiao Ming was a little hesitant.
'This Flying Dou Technique is only in the High Huang Class, isn't it a bit low?'
The current Xiao Ming was not the previous Xiao Ming who did not have a simulator when he was four years old.
Back then, he was very happy learning the most basic Dou Techniques in order to cultivate Dou Qi.
Presently, Xiao Ming's vision had broadened, knowing that none of the Dou Techniques he was now cultivating were below the High Xuan Class, and even those of Intermediate Di Class.
He had no interest in even taking a look at the Huang Class Dou Techniques, and all of them could only be put into his storage ring to eat dust.
If only he hadn't wanted to wait for the day he returned to the Xiao family, to throw them into the family's book collection.
The Huang-class Dou Techniques were not even qualified to stay in his storage ring.
Therefore, the current Xiao Ming does not like this Flying Dou Technique for being too low level.
Some would say that it is better to have a Flying Dou Technique than none at all.
If he still doesn't like this and that, isn't he pretentious?
Hey, this wasn't Xiao Ming being pretentious.
It was true that it was better to have Flying Dou Technique than not to have them.
However, the fact that the level of Flying Dou Technique was too low meant that it might not be very fast and consume more Dou Qi than higher levels.
As one's strength increases in the future, its increase would be less and less.
Xiao Ming had originally planned to enter the inner courtyard to cultivate at a higher realm after this adventure before going back out.
Well, the exact time, it was probably the graduation of the inner courtyard.
It could be said that this period of time was relatively safe, and by then, Xiao Ming felt that he should also have the strength of a Dou King.
Suffice it to say that there were fewer times when he needed Flying Dou Technique.
Probably, it was only in these few days that he needed it more urgently.
Isn't it a bit of a waste to use this valuable Dou Technique just for these few days?
More importantly, if not for these few days, there was also a Xuan class intermediate level Flying Dou Technique, Flying Cloud Wing, in Jia Nan Academy's book collection.
Therefore, Xiao Ming was a bit hesitant.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ming still put the Dou Technique in his storage ring and said softly.
"Forget it, let's take another look. High Huang Class's Flying Dou Technique may appear here and they haven't been used yet, so maybe we can find Xuan Class's Flying Dou Techniques in other pavilions as well."
The second floor had already been searched, and Xiao Ming had no more thoughts of searching further.
At that moment, he turned his eyes toward the passage leading to the top floor.
Just as he was about to make a move, loud cursing sounds came from the floor below.
"Shit, why is the door to this pavilion open."
"Something's not right, that jade area outside right now has a new hole in it."
"Won't we be the first ones to get in here?"
"Shit, they've taken everything out of here, there's only some broken copper and iron left, someone must have been in here!"
...
Hearing these shouts and curses, Xiao Ming's face changed slightly.
'These people came in so fast!'
Xiao Ming was aware of the fierce competition for entrance to the Secret Realm.
Although he was the first group of the crowd on the ground to enter the secret realm passageway, the shouts that sounded behind him before entering the secret realm passageway, as well as the sound of weapons clashing, made it clear how difficult it was to enter the secret realm.
He even felt that, if he delayed a step, he might be dragged into battle outside the Secret Realm.
These people were able to reach this side of the pavilion ten minutes after him, so it was obvious that they had extraordinary strength, and there might be a Dou Spirit among them.
'With how irritable these people are, they might surround me when they see me, and then I'll be in trouble.'
Thinking like this, Xiao Ming abandoned the idea of further exploring the third floor.
He went out to train, and although he was not afraid to fight, this kind of gap was huge.
He still hadn't lived long enough.
Tap, tap, tap!
The sound of footsteps on the first floor became clearer and clearer, and Xiao Ming even heard the sound of voices coming up the stairs.
It seemed that although they knew that this pavilion had already been taken first, they still had no intention of abandoning their exploration.
Xiao Ming understood that it was not too late, if he did not hide, he would be discovered.
With a casual sweep of his eyes, he saw the tightly shut window in the corridor, his eyes lit up and with a flash of light, Xiao Ming disappeared silently and without a trace.
Xiao Ming had just disappeared for about ten seconds when several figures with strong auras appeared at the entrance to the second floor corridor.
One of them, a man in red robes, looked with some confusion at the place where Xiao Ming had just been standing.
"That's strange, there should be someone up here."
"Could it be that you misperceived?"
A large, muscular man standing next to him asked with some suspicion.
After all, he and this red-robed man were not far apart in strength, and he hadn't felt any breath a moment ago.
It was hard not to make people question him.
"No, my technique that I cultivate is very sensitive to blood qi, right now I vaguely sensed a blood qi comparable to that of a second rank magical beast, and now I don't know why I can't sense it."
"A second rank magical beast?"
When the muscular man heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Unless one's flesh had been specially refined with medicine, no one's body could reach that level.
Not even that person's body could, could it?
With a veiled glance at the green-clad middle-aged man in front, a hint of fear shone in the muscular man's eyes.
The others looked at the man in green clothes with the same look.
No wonder they were so afraid, among this group of people, the man in green was the strongest, in the Dou Spirit realm.
The others were all in the eight or nine star Dou Grandmaster, or even five or six star Dou Grandmaster.
If it were not for the tacit understanding of these Dou Grandmasters, where they wanted to secretly resist together this Dou Spirit.
They wouldn't even have the qualifications to be here.
The man in green was not blind to the dark looks coming from all sides.
Naturally, he was aware of their intention to unite and resist himself.
But what was the use of this makeshift alliance formed on the first floor? When the time came, once they saw the treasure, this alliance would disintegrate on its own without him having to make a move.
At that time, how could these Dou Grandmasters snatch the treasure from him?
Therefore, he was not worried at all.
However, as he swept the discarded pills on the floor, as well as the open doors of the rooms in the hallway, the face of the man in green was ugly.
"Whether you're right or wrong, Blood Cloud, it's always correct that this place has been ransacked."
