When Meng Hu noticed that Meng Duo had suddenly fainted and was falling, he hurriedly reached out his hands to catch him.
As a result, Mundo didn't fall down all at once, but instead lay on the enlarged wooden sword and slowly descended in front of him.
Ahri put away her small wooden sword and landed next to Mundo, saying, "He's alright, it's just that it's his first time experiencing sword flight, and he's not used to it yet."
"Master Xu, what should I do now?"
Ali said, "Take him back and prepare some of his favorite foods. He'll be hungry when he wakes up."
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it right away."
Meng Hu had someone carry Meng Duo away.
Ahri looked around with her hands behind her back. There were quite a few people staring at her expectantly, wanting to learn sword control as well.
Ahri said, "Before you learn to fly on a sword, you need to have enough energy and patience, so you need to start practicing."
"Master Xu, how should we practice?"
“Run ten laps around Yuncheng every day until you’re not red-faced or out of breath, then come find me.”
"But, Master Xu, who can run ten laps without getting red in the face or out of breath? That's simply impossible."
"Cultivating immortality and prolonging life are things that some people say are impossible. Praying for rain is also something that some people say are impossible. What you think is impossible is possible for us who practice magic and cultivate immortality."
After saying this, Ahri moved and disappeared from everyone's sight.
About half a cup of tea's time later, Ah Li returned. Not a single strand of her hair was out of place. She said, "I just circled Cloud City twenty times. Did you see that?"
Some people looked at Ali with great suspicion, "Twenty laps? Half a cup of tea! Master Xu, you may have some supernatural powers, but you can't just talk nonsense."
Someone nearby quickly covered his mouth and said, "Desa, don't talk nonsense. Master Xu wouldn't lie."
"But……"
Ahri chuckled and said, "No buts. If you want to learn sword flight or magic, then listen to me and go run. If you don't want to run and want to fly directly on a sword, then make a wooden sword yourself and see if you can just shout and the wooden sword will fly up and take you flying."
Qi Bu, covering Desa's mouth, asked, "Then, Master Xu, why are we going for a run?"
"Running can improve your physical fitness, teach you how to regulate your breathing, and also improve your endurance."
"Okay, let's go run now."
Qi Bu pulled Desa away, and the others followed suit.
For a long time afterward, many more people appeared in and around Yuncheng, carrying a wooden sword on their backs and running around the city.
Everyone, adults and children alike, was running.
Twenty laps, each lap is about twenty kilometers, and very few people can complete twenty laps.
Some people didn't run; instead, they walked.
Mondo was speechless at the sight. He muttered to himself, "Honestly, why don't we persevere a little longer? If we don't learn soon, our master will run away."
Fortunately, he practiced quite well on his own.
With a thought, the wooden sword flew out from behind him and landed at his feet. He then shouted to Ahri, "Master! Look at me!"
Mundo successfully flew on his sword; it was the wooden sword Ahri had given him that possessed spiritual energy.
Mondo flew up into the sky on his sword and looked down. He saw the people in Cloud City still running, and some of them were encouraging them, telling them not to give up.
Mondo landed in front of them, wielding an unfamiliar wooden sword, and almost fell over, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he said, "To control a sword, you need to keep your mind steady and your will firm. If you think too much and are not focused, then forget about controlling the sword, you might even have trouble climbing onto it."
“You are the city lord’s son, his proper disciple. You can already fly on a sword. Why do you need to run around Cloud City like we do?”
Some people were unconvinced, and they kept glancing behind Mundo to see if Xu Li had appeared.
Mondo crossed his arms, put away the wooden sword at his feet, and said, "You didn't see me when I ran away."
He didn't run alongside these people; he ran on the periphery.
Mundo didn't want anyone to see him panting like a dog when he first started running; that would be too embarrassing.
However, now, his master said that he was making rapid progress and was a promising talent. With a slight movement of his feet, he ran away from these people.
After running a lap, he would occasionally give these people a flick on the head.
The people around him stared wide-eyed in shock, because Mundo was so fast that he could complete a lap in no time at all.
After completing twenty laps, Mundo was slightly out of breath, but he could still stand and say to those people, "See? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't either. I've been running laps day and night just so I can fly on my sword sooner."
Mondo was holding a wooden sword, and he was about to throw it when he caught it.
His breathing is erratic, his head is buzzing, and his heart is beating fast; he's not suited for sword-wielding.
The next second, Ahri appeared behind him, placed her hand on his back, and said, "Alright, let's go."
"Okay, sure."
Mondo felt a comfortable spiritual energy flowing through his body, and he instantly stopped feeling tired. He happily followed Ahri and asked, "Master, where should we go first?"
"Just taking a stroll."
“Okay, okay, Master, let’s go punish evil and promote good.”
The fifteen-year-old boy was full of vigor and ambition, unaware of the wickedness of human nature, and brimming with curiosity about the outside world.
"Wait, young city lord, where are you going?" Someone chased after them from behind, looking somewhat flustered, because they were afraid that Xu Li would never come back after leaving.
"My master is going to take me on a journey."
Mondo brandished his wooden sword with great flair and said, "Of course, if we come back and you're still the same as before, don't blame us for being impolite."
After Mondo finished speaking, he looked at Ahri with some uncertainty, because he didn't know if she would come back after this trip.
She said that she was a wandering cultivator, living a nomadic life with no fixed abode. She appeared in Yuncheng because she happened to pass by and saw the notice.
Ahri noticed Mundo's uncertain look, smiled, ruffled Mundo's hair, and said, "Yeah, I'll come back for a visit."
Mondo was relieved. He then looked at the group that had followed him and said irritably, "Stop looking! Get running! We'll see the results when we get back."
"Don't worry, young city lord, we promise we'll run diligently!"
Those people ran away in a flash; they wanted to fly on swords and try to reach the threshold of immortal cultivation!
Previously, they wanted Xu Li to teach them the same way he taught Mundo, so that they would surely improve rapidly as well.
However, it's one thing for people to be willing to teach Mundo, but it's another to teach them.
So they should just keep running obediently. Perhaps when the young city lord returns from his travels, he can show off his skills and teach them all.
Mondo watched as many people began running around Cloud City in unison, and he was very pleased. He even asked Ahri, "Master, will all of these people be able to learn sword flight by then?"
Ahri said calmly, "It depends on individual comprehension."
