Chu Tianxing had just finished cleaning up Wang Zheng's mess and now he had time to observe the little bastard's condition.

Seeing Wang Zheng inexplicably cause such a commotion, Chu Tianxing was completely baffled.

Under his tense gaze, Wang Zheng's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, his pupils turning blood red, and his muscles tensing.

As spiritual energy continued to flow in, a layer of crystal-clear luster appeared on Wang Zheng's skin, as if it were carved from jade, radiating a faint halo.

"Not enough, not enough, still not enough!"

Wang Zheng looked at the upper limit of his spiritual energy value on his data panel, which had dropped by a full 2,000 points, and now it had stopped dropping.

However, the gray font of the skill names in the data panel was only slightly lit up at this moment, and its brightness was incomparable to that of the previous skill names that had been fully activated and upgraded.

Wang Zheng had a vague feeling that if things continued as they were today, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve a successful awakening this time.

For some reason, this awakening of new abilities seems to require a large amount of external spiritual energy.

Wang Zheng had had this vague feeling all along, which is why he didn't dare to activate it directly in the wild.

Because whether it's humans or mythical beasts, cultivation requires an extremely high level of spiritual energy.

If activating one's awakening attracts a powerful beast, not to mention the waste of one's spiritual energy limit, if it attracts a demon king, one might not even know how they died.

Wang Zheng is now trying his best to use his spiritual energy to replenish it, but it has no effect. He can't even increase the progress by consuming the maximum amount of spiritual energy.

Wang Zheng had a feeling that if there was no more external spiritual energy to replenish him, his awakening might fail.

However, judging from the current situation, simply absorbing the free spiritual particles in the air is completely insufficient for his bottomless pit.

So Wang Zheng endured the excruciating pain, took out the gold liquid he had obtained earlier from his storage space, and took a big gulp, swallowing all 100 milliliters of the liquid.

At the same time, he also tightly grasped the spiritual energy crystal of the giant ape, intending to directly absorb the spiritual energy within the crystal to aid in its awakening.

At this point, he couldn't care less about wasting time.

Chu Tianxing, who was silently guarding him from the side, was startled by his reckless actions.

He knew exactly how much energy these liquid gold contained.

At this moment, he was afraid that Wang Zheng might not be able to handle the nourishment and would faint.

Just as Wang Zheng swallowed the golden liquid, a strange fragrance suddenly spread throughout the room.

Wang Zheng felt a drunken sensation again, clearly already intoxicated.

However, this feeling quickly passed, which also meant that the 100 milliliters of gold liquid had been completely digested.

Looking at his data panel, Wang Zheng saw that after swallowing the small bottle of golden liquid, his spiritual energy had not increased at all, and he was so angry that he wanted to curse out loud.

His body, which had always been like a bottomless pit, seemed to have malfunctioned. He kept silently chanting in his mind to absorb, but the high-level spiritual crystal remained unmoved, as if Wang Zheng was born without the ability to absorb quickly.

Or perhaps the data panel knows that Wang Zheng has the Golden Liquid, and now he's become picky, looking down on even spiritual crystals.

When Wang Zheng felt his body begin to feel empty again, he had no choice but to put away the spiritual energy crystal and then reluctantly picked up another bottle of golden liquid and gulped it down.

At this moment, he cried out in frustration.

"If you can't give me a skill attribute I'm satisfied with, I'll really lose out big time!!!"

As Wang Zheng poured down the two small bottles, a total of 200 milliliters of gold liquid, the data panel seemed to have finally absorbed enough energy and lit up completely.

Instantly, countless spiritual energy particles swirled around Wang Zheng's body. These crystalline points of light condensed on the surface of his skin and then converged towards his limbs and bones.

Wang Zheng felt as if his body was floating, as if he were flying in the clouds.

\"call--\"

Wang Zheng exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes. His eyes, which were originally crimson, had become incredibly dark and bright again, and his gaze had become even more profound, as if they contained endless stars, which was intoxicating.

Beneath him, a crimson cloud supported Wang Zheng's body, making him float half a meter off the ground.

The clouds seemed to possess their own unique charm, rising and falling gently in a rhythmic manner, as if they were breathing.

"Hehe, it's finally awakened."

Wang Zheng said with a smile.

He then looked at his data panel and carefully observed the specific attributes of this ability.

Soaring Through the Clouds LV.1 (This is a flight technique that consumes a certain amount of spiritual energy to summon a cloud. Once activated, the skill will continuously consume spiritual energy. The initial flight speed is 100 kilometers per hour.)

Wang Zheng finally burst into a satisfied laugh.

"Hahaha, I'm finally a member of the flying family!"

Moreover, according to the description of this skill, it is very likely that upgrading it will directly increase flight speed.

The thought of this made Wang Zheng's heart race.

Looking at the dumbfounded Chu Tianxing, he asked provocatively, "Principal, how fast can you fly?"

Although Chu Tianxing was still stunned, he instinctively replied, "Under normal circumstances, it's over 300 kilometers per hour. If I were to go full speed ahead and become lightning, it might be over 400 or 500? I'm not too sure, I haven't calculated it carefully. What's wrong?"

Wang Zheng: (︶^︶)\u003d凸

"Oh, never mind then. I'll come find you for a race again after I level up—no, I mean a cloud race!"

——————

Fun fact:

Riding the clouds and mist is one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques, and legend has it that one can travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

Based on existing literature, it would mean that Lake Baikal, which was in Russia in the morning, would have reached Wuzhou, Guangxi in the evening.

The actual distance is about 3,700 kilometers. If we calculate based on the time from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., the total time is 12 hours, which is about 308 kilometers per hour.

It's normal for a superhuman to be slower than an airplane when flying with their physical body. As mentioned earlier, even ordinary flying beasts can't catch up with airplanes. However, the aircraft is relatively fragile, and if they don't dodge in time, something bad can easily happen.

This is also why Chu Tianxing chose to fly to Yunnan.
