Chapter 946 Helping Lie Ying
“Aren’t you wrong about that?” Ling Yun asked Long Jue while shaking his head. “We had agreed that we would only use our physical strength, so I didn’t hold back at all because I didn’t underestimate you.”
“Haha.” Long Jue laughed at that, then pointed to his other friend and her mount. “Her name is Huang Yin, and she is the leader of our scout suqad. As you can see, she is a demi-human with an eagle-beast bloodline, and she is the strongest among us, especially since her speed is very fast and her vision is too sharp. As for her beast, her name is Lie Ying, and her speed is also faster than Xiyi.”
Ling Yun nodded in understanding as he turned to the two women. “The two of you may have extremely high speeds, but it will be useless if you never temper your physique, especially if you meet other cultivators who can overcome your speed. If that happens, then you will suffer when you meet those who have high physical strength, so you’d better start improving your physique.”
“Hmm?” Huang Yin and Lie Ying frowned after they heard that, especially since no other beasts or demi-humans could ever match their combined speed, including Long Huanlei.
“It seems you guys don’t believe my words, huh.” Ling Yun then pointed to the distance. “How about we race to that area now? You two can use your combined speed, but I’m confident that I can beat you two easily.”
“Fine!” Huang Yin immediately jumped onto Lei Ying’s back and synchronized themselves.
On the other hand, Ling Yun stood casually by their side without minding their actions, and he didn’t even make any preparations to beat them.
Long Jue and Er Xiyi exchanged glances, seeing them like that, but they were completely confident that Ling Yun could overcome Huang Yin and Lei Ying’s combined speed, especially since he could already adapt to such a heavy weapon. Furthermore, he told them that he still had some other heavy equipment, which he had fully adapted to.
‘It seems that Yin and Ying will experience their first defeat in a race of speed, Master.’ Huan Xiong nodded in agreement with Qian Lan.
“We are ready.”
Ling Yun nodded at Huang Yin and looked ahead. “Hey, Long Jue! Count to three!”
Hearing that, Long Jue immediately moved to the front of them, and they nodded to him. “1… 2… Go!”
*Swoosh*
Lei Ying flew forward instantly, and her speed increased significantly after she synchronized with Huang Yin, surprising Ling Yun a little. “Their speed is truly fast, but it’s still not enough.”
Long Jue and the others smiled wryly as they saw Ling Yun still not moving, but he had already disappeared from their sight a second later, especially after he activated Light Feather Steps and Nine Heaven Steps at the same time.
“What a freaking fast speed!” They had previously watched Ling Yun chase the giant bird beast, and his previous speed was already very fast, but his current speed was much faster.
After all, the light feather steps can boost Ling Yun’s speed, and the nine heaven steps make him able to move two kilometers in one step, so his speed clearly surpasses the combined speed of Huang Yin and Lie Ying.
“Can you catch up with him, Xiyi?”
Er Xiyi shook her head at her master. “Mo Chen is a monster! My speed is nothing compared to his.”

Huang Yin, who looked serious at Lie Ying’s back, was shocked to see Ling Yun beside them. Not wanting to lose to him, they immediately increased their speed even more, but he was still able to keep up with them. “How is this possible? How can you move so fast without riding a beast?”
“Hehe.” Ling Yun chuckled at her question. “I don’t intend to underestimate your combined speed, but you should know that there are too many cultivators who can move faster than you. Moreover, I haven’t reached my maximum speed yet, and I can still move even faster.”
“What?”
Ling Yun just smiled at their shocked expressions, and he immediately accelerated his flying speed, leaving Huang Yin and Lie Ying far behind.
“Master, we lost.” Lie Ying spoke with a disappointed look, especially since this was the first time she had lost so badly to another cultivator, even after they had used their synchronization technique.
Huang Yin sighed softly and rubbed Lie Ying’s head to comfort her. “It’s okay; you don’t need to be disappointed about our defeat, and we just need to train harder to increase our speed even more. Let’s catch up with him, Ying.”
“Yes.”
A few minutes later, they had already arrived at the area that Ling Yun had pointed out earlier, and he was already waiting for them with a relaxed smile on his face. “Do you still doubt my words now? Luckily, I’m not an enemy of either of you, so I didn’t do anything to you. You would suffer if you fought with another cultivator who was stronger and faster than you, so you guys should think better about my previous words.”
“How can you move that fast, Mo Chen?” Lei Ying immediately turned into a human as soon as Huang Yin got off her back, but her gaze was still filled with disappointment after losing to Ling Yun.
After seeing her expression, Ling Yun walked in front of Lie Ying, rubbing her head. “You shouldn’t feel disheartened, as only a handful of cultivators can surpass your speed, even with your standard training. As for me, I’ve been training really hard for the past year, and I also have pretty good movement techniques.”
Lei Ying’s face turned red because of Ling Yun’s gentleness, and no one had ever dared to touch her like him, which made Huang Yin feel strange after seeing the red hues on her cheeks. “Can you help me increase my speed, Mo Chen?”

You have successfully purchased the Lower Grade Beast Advancement Pill x1! 20,000,000 C has been deducted from your account.
Ling Yun without hesitation bought the three pills, especially since he only needed to use credit to buy them, and his credit continued to grow rapidly as his company on earth continued to increase his finances. He then took the three before grabbing Lei Ying’s hand, and he placed them in her palm. “Usually, I wouldn’t give these pills to people I don’t know, but I can see something different about you, so I want to give them to you as a gift.”
Not only Lie Ying was shocked after seeing the three pills, but even Huang Yin was completely shocked by them, especially since their grade was the highest. Moreover, Er Xiyi and Qian Lan had already told them the effects of the three pills, and that they were truly precious for beasts, but Ling Yun shared them so casually.
“Is it really okay if you give these three pills to me?” Lie Ying inquired doubtfully, but her hands were shaking with excitement, and she was eager to swallow them.
Ling Yun nodded at Lie Ying. “You can swallow them now, and I will help you get them to take effect faster.”
“Thank you.” Lie Ying immediately swallowed the pills, but her face turned even redder when Ling Yun’s palm touched her chest. His qi immediately flowed into her body, causing the three pills to dissolve quickly before he spread them throughout her body. “Mhn~, I feel a little strange, Mo Chen.”
“That’s the sign they’re starting to take effect, so you just need to focus on absorbing them.” Hearing Ling Yun’s answer, Lie Ying immediately closed her eyes and began to absorb the effects of the three pills. She could feel that her body was undergoing significant changes, as explained by Er Xiyi before.
Huang Yin, who was standing beside them, kept looking at Ling Yun strangely. They didn’t know each other, but he was willing to help her mount by using his precious pills. “Why are you doing this, Mo Chen? Do you want something from us?”
“Hey, you don’t need to be suspicious of me, okay?” As he turned to Huang Yin, Ling Yun replied. “I don’t want anything from you two, especially since I have many women who are much better than you guys. As I said before, I saw something different from Lie Ying, and I could see the determination to become stronger in the look of her eyes, so I just wanted to help her realize her wish.”
Huang Yin felt offended by some of Ling Yun’s words, especially since there were so many demi-human men who yearned for her to be their wife. She was always confident in her beauty, but he said that there were many other women who were better than her.
Ling Yun laughed wryly at Huang Yin’s expression. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend your dignity as a woman, but you will understand why I said that after you meet them.”
Huang Yin didn’t say anything in reply to Ling Yun’s words, and she once again observed Lie Ying, especially after she sensed the huge changes taking place within her body.
