Flying Beasts Attack

"Have you all packed your things? If yes, then let us now proceed to the ship." The principal said. He then led the group towards the ship.

This ship was the best one the school had. The principal believed that they should arrive in a grandiose manner. Their school was constantly in the top 3 of the continent that was why they must not let down the school's reputation.

Mu Yue was at the side reading the manual that the principal gave her. She asked for a movement technique that could only be learned by Foundation Establishment. It was also the best technique in the school that suits her well.

Even if she had one that could be learned when in the Qi Condensation, she does not have enough time to learn it. She wouldn't be able to use it in the tournament so she would rather learn this. This way, she will already have an understanding of the technique and only need to practice it when she becomes a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"I didn't know that traveling like this would be boring." Xiao Yan sighed while her head was currently leaning over Mu Yue's shoulders.

It wasn't even an hour yet after the ship started to head to the tournament site when she got bored looking outside the ship. There was nothing new in the scenery around them and there was not much to do inside the ship.

"This ship is already the fastest that the school has. It shouldn't take too long to arrive at our destination." Mu Yue said.

Xiao Yan then thought of something. "Can I borrow your thigh to sleep?"

"Eh? Sure..." Mu Yue then changed her sitting position.

Xiao Yan gave her thanks before laying her head to Mu Yue's thigh. Mu Yue kept on reading the manual while Xiao Yan was sleeping.

After some hour, the ship has arrived in the airspace outside the Shi Zu Kingdom. Each of the kingdoms was surrounded by beast territories. You had to travel across them if you wish to arrive at another kingdom.

"We are under attack by flying beasts! All students are to prepare for combat!", shouted one of the teachers.

Mu Yue then hurriedly stored the manual and retrieved her sword from her storage ring. She wanted to stand but then remembered that Xiao Yan was currently using her thighs as pillows.

She was about to wake her up when the ship shook. This sudden shaking awakened Xiao Yan from her sleep.

"*Yawn* Have we arrived yet?" Xiao Yan asked while rubbing her eyes.

"No, we are currently under attack by flying beasts." Mu Yue calmly said as she stood up to stretch her legs.

"Huh?... under attack by the beasts... What!" It finally dawned on Xiao Yan what their current situation was.

Both of them prepared themselves to fight. The attackers of the ship were a flock of Razorwings. They were featherless flying beasts, known for their sharp wings and beak. They primarily charge towards their target, slicing them as they pass through.

Most of them were at the Magical Beast Stage. There were also three that reached the High Beast Stage.

This was of no problem to the group. The principal already knew that they will certainly encounter some flying beasts so he made sure to bring a group of six Core Formation Teachers.

This situation could've been avoided if he chose to leak his strength. However, he decided to let this happen so that the students could experience this. The teachers knew of his true strength, and when they saw that the principal didn't interfere, they then understood his intentions.

"All students are to launch their ranged attacks. Prioritize attacking the beasts near the ship. Although the ship has its own spiritual barrier, it will diminish because of their constant attacks." A teacher yelled as he too joined the fight.

Xiao Yan was casting single-target spells, while Mu Yue was using the 'Pulse Blade' technique. She could control her flying sword to attack from a distance but chose not to. She might lose control, and if this happens, the sword will stop floating and will fall to the ground.

The main damage comes from their seniors and teachers. They were just there to ward off the flying beasts away from their ship.

While attacking, Xiao Yan was currently thinking...

'I was able to sleep blissfully using Mu Yue's thighs as pillows. I should definitely do it again in the future!'
