The next day, Eli Shan stood confidently at the grand gate of his clan, fully prepared for his journey to the martial arts school. In his hand, he held a small bag containing his clothes and essentials.

Huang Shan looked at him and nodded with a smile on his face, meanwhile, Yui Shan couldn't hold back her tears and kept crying by hugging eli shan.

Eli Shan also hugged his mother, then father and got ready to leave the clan.

He didn't have any friends in his clan, as for some reason, everyone used to keep their distance from him, and he also never tried to be friendly with others too. But on this day, everyone gathered at the grand gate of the clan to bid farewell as Eli Shan prepared to depart for school, which shocked him.

He nodded at his elders and everyone with a smile and got ready to depart.

There was still one month left for the entrance exam of the school so, he didn't want to go there by riding a horse or from any vehicles. He wanted to reach the school by running, as it would further enhance his physical power and he could also test his stamina.

Eli Shan hugged his parents, said his goodbyes to everyone, and departed from the clan gate, waving his hand.

After walking a bit further, he gathered all the strength in his legs and suddenly jumped with his full power, suddenly disappearing from everyone's sight.

His speed was astonishingly fast that no one could track him, and he vanished from everyone's sight, leaving everyone in disbelief. They were all shocked and had the same question in their minds: "He could cultivate?"

Even his parents were confused at this point as they looked at each other with shock and happiness in their eyes.

In the vast forest and towering mountains, Eli Shan ran like the wind, his feet carrying him higher and farther with each step, soaring through the sky.

As he ran, Eli Shan could feel the spiritual qi left inside his body was getting absorbed by his body even more, making him even stronger with each stride. Realizing it, his lips became wide with a big smile as he thought, "I can still get stronger!"

As Eli Shan continued running through the mountains and forests, he noticed that the resistance of the air was increasing exponentially with his speed. To counter the force, he instinctively shielded his eyes with his hand, but the more faster he ran, the more the air seemed to push against him. Just as the frustration began to build within him, suddenly a daring thought crossed his mind – he could try to control the very wind that challenged him!

Without stopping, Eli Shan continued running, his focus solely on controlling the unique power of his body and absorbing the very essence of the wind itself! After some tries, he finally succeeded! Feeling the success, his smile grew wider as he began to absorb even more wind energy! Little did he know that he wasn't merely absorbing the wind but, the very laws that governed it! This remarkable feat was considered impossible for an ordinary person, but due to his unique constitution, he could easily achieve it.

As Eli Shan continued to absorb the essence of the wind, the once opposing force now began to bend to his will, obediently following his command and flowing away from him.

Wind intent!

As he passed through the dense forest and crossed large rivers, Eli Shan felt the essence of the wind all around him.

He knew that everything has its own intent. Just like a sword has its own intent, or fire possesses fire intent like that wind has its intent too.

But what was the wind's intent? It was the feeling of becoming one with the wind itself! This was the feeling which he was feeling next!

Amid his high-speed run, Eli Shan felt a strange connection with the very essence of the wind. It was as if the breeze itself whispered secrets to him, revealing the hidden dance of every gust and zephyr. The air around him seemed to hum with life. He could almost see the invisible threads of the wind weaving an intricate tapestry of harmony.

With each step, his awareness of this ethereal force grew, and he sensed a profound alignment with the wind's intentions. It was not just about moving faster or with ease, but rather a profound understanding of the wind's innate rhythm and its natural flow. Eli Shan felt like a conductor, orchestrating the symphony of the wind around him.

The wind embraced him, and he became one with it. It was as if the very essence of wind had taken residence within him, guiding his movements and lending him an extraordinary swiftness and grace. He felt the wind's invisible hands pushing him forward, empowering him to transcend the limitations of mere mortal speed.

With newfound clarity, Eli Shan realized that wind intent was more than just a power to harness; it was a profound connection with nature's elemental force. In this dance with the wind, he had unlocked a unique and ancient knowledge, one that surpassed ordinary comprehension.

As he continued his journey, Eli Shan's presence seemed to command the air around him. The wind responded eagerly to his thoughts, carrying him effortlessly across the landscapes as if it was an extension of his very being. His every stride became a symphony of movement, and he reveled in the harmonious dance of wind intent."

"It feels like I am the spirit of the wind itself."

As he continued to soar through the mountains and forest, his understanding of wind kept increasing spontaneously.

With his body cultivation at the soul and body formation stage, Eli Shan no longer needed to eat for months, and fatigue seemed like a distant memory. He kept running, fully immersed in the wind intent.

Soon, the wind enveloped his body completely, and he felt as if he didn't even need to run anymore. His one step covered a distance of hundreds of miles.

After ten days of running, Eli Shan finally arrived at a colossal gate. He looked at the map he was holding and thought, "So this is the gate of the Sacred City?"

As he stood there, he saw a long queue of people waiting to enter. A smile spread across his face as he recalled his father's estimation of 25 days to reach the city, and yet he managed to arrive in less than ten days.

As Eli Shan looked at the towering city gate, thinking whether he should enter now or not, he looked down at his dirt-covered clothes and thought "It's better to take a bath before exploring the city."

He looked at his map again and found a lake. This lake was not much far from the city gate so, with the wind as his vehicle, he vanished from the spot and rushed toward the lake.

With a high jump, the wind enveloped him as he soared through the sky.

The lake was located nearly 700 miles away from the city gate, so with the speed of eli shan, he reached there in just three breaths of time.

As Eli Shan stood by the calm lake, a satisfied smile graced his face. "It's good that at least I have the body cultivation, otherwise a mortal would have taken days to reach here and return," he thought, appreciating the advantage of his training.

With that, he removed his shirt and jumped into the lake, water splashed all over and he began to swim and clean himself up.

Once he was done with his cleansing, he combed his long dark silver hair and wore a new white coat with a big collar, coupled with his slim, well-toned body and handsome face, he looked just too charming. If a girl were to see him, she would definitely fall for him.

At least this is what eli shan thought and smiled like a maniac.

After he wore clothes and got ready, he realized that he had plenty of time left before the entrance exam. Rather than getting bored in the city, he decided to cultivate near the serene lake.

He found a big tree near the lake and sat down and began to delve into the secrets of wind intent.

During his journey from the clan to the sacred city, he experienced a breakthrough in his understanding of wind intent and felt that this power made him even stronger.

Sitting with crossed legs, Eli Shan focused on the wind around him and sought to become one with its essence. As he cultivated, the winds started to gather and swirl around him, creating a small but potent tornado.

Like this ten days passed and the wind intent around him became more condensed and sharper, it became so sharper that he could cut all trees of the forest with just a mere wave of his hand.

Near the lake, a lovely young girl in a crimson dress, her hair cascading like a river of lavender down to her knees, was also making her way to take a bath.

Before she even reached the lake, she felt a highly condensed and sharp wind intent that made her feel a little suffocated even though she was still far from it.

In her curiosity, she walked over and reached the lake, looking at the direction from which the wind intent was emitting.

As she looked over, she saw a handsome young boy who appeared to be around her age. He was sitting in the middle of the forest near the lake, and the wind around him was so strong and heavy that even though she was in the ninth stage of the qi gathering realm cultivator and was standing far from him, she was still feeling an immense pressure from him.

She looked at him with shock in her eyes as he was sitting in the midst of this heavy pressure as if nothing was happening around him.

"He must be a strong cultivator, but he doesn't look like he's older than me," she thought to herself.

With that, she found a spot at a distance from him and sat down with her legs crossed, hoping to gain some insights from his practice.

Like this, five more days passed, and Eli Shan, who was completely immersed in his cultivation, finally opened his eyes, unaware of what had been happening around him.

After opening his eyes, Eli Shan felt strangely good and strong, and the wind around him suddenly disappeared as if it had never been there.

With a surge of happiness, he couldn't resist testing the power of his wind intent, which seemed to have broken through to another realm since the time he had learned it.

With that in mind, Eli Shan stood up and executed a sword-like gesture with his right hand, causing a sharp wind blade to materialize in the air. The blade moved forward with unimaginable speed, heading straight for the trees.

Soon, a scene emerged which shocked even eli shan.

Hundreds of trees in the wind blade's path were cut down like a hot knife cutting through butter.

In shock, eli shan hurriedly withdrew his wind intent, afraid that the entire forest would be wiped from the map.

In a panic, he looked around to see if anyone had witnessed him destroying the trees. When he realized that no one had seen him, he let out a sigh of relief. Without a moment's hesitation, a sudden breeze of air enveloped Eli Shan, and he vanished into a thin air with it.

In a daze, Feng Qiang, the girl in the red dress, looked at the spot where Eli Shan had vanished.

What she witnessed just now was unimaginable and she had only one thought in her mind "I-Intent, high-level wind intent!"

Even though she was hiding behind a big rock, she saw it all.

But she had one question in her mind, why that expert couldn't detect her presence?

What she didn't know was that eli shan had no cultivation realm; without it, he couldn't sense his surroundings.

But as she thought again of his control over the wind, Feng Qiang became even more shocked and curious.

"I will definitely find him again!"
