Chapter 1401 - 895: Holy Beast Joins the Team?!

"Mr. Du is the Demon Taming Emperor." Hu Yi’s words awakened the pondering Du Yu.

"Yes."

Hu Yi continued, "Mr. Du no longer needs to walk, run, or leap in the normal manner. You just need to lightly tap the ground with your foot to move ten or even dozens of meters."

Du Yu nodded naturally.

But then, Hu Yi’s right foot suddenly took a step back.

Du Yu’s eyes narrowed!

So fast,

Such speed!

Hu Yi explained, "I didn’t stabilize my left foot and then move my right foot. I tapped my right foot’s toes on the ground and bounced back."

"Hmm." Du Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Walking, running, jumping, and other such movements are ingrained in the Human Race’s bones, accompanying a person as soon as they learn them at a young age.

Even though Du Yu is a powerful Demon Tamer, his way of exerting power when moving still follows old habits.

Through Hu Yi’s guidance, Du Yu seemed to understand something.

"Snap~"

Du Yu lightly tapped the ground with his toes, also attempting to step back, but failed to control the force properly.

To maintain balance, he stumbled back continuously.

Holy White Tiger: "..."

Du Yu: "..."

Goodness~

With this lesson, I can’t even retreat properly.

Hmm... from another perspective, is this also a form of retreat?

Hu Yi spoke at an appropriate time, "Suddenly changing the way of exerting force might feel uncomfortable, just practice more."

Du Yu silently nodded.

Hu Yi continued the lesson, "Feet are our roots, the source of all our power."

It’s hard to believe such words would come from a Wind Element Demon Tamer whose figure is elusive.

"Whew~" Hu Yi suddenly swayed his shoulders left and right, his movements exaggerated.

His whole body swung like a pendulum, then stood straight in an instant.

Du Yu watched Hu Yi silently; with a basketball, wouldn’t that be formidable?

Even my bank card password would be shaken out by you, right?

"The outer sides of your feet exert force." Hu Yi swayed again.

Du Yu grew more amazed, for in front of him wasn’t just one person, but a row of people?

Hu Yi: "You and I, as powerful Demon Tamers, possess great strength, body coordination, and control power.

As long as you root your feet, we can adjust our fighting stance anytime."

As he spoke, Hu Yi was no longer just swaying left and right, but like a tumbler, tilting his body towards every angle.

And his speed was extremely fast!

As his swaying amplitude gradually decreased, Du Yu saw one residual shadow after another on Hu Yi.

Truly elusive!

Hu Yi was standing just a few meters in front of Du Yu, but Du Yu had no confidence he could hit him.

The problem is, Hu Yi didn’t use any Demon Skills; he relied purely on body control.

Du Yu pressed his lips together, feeling his eyes were getting blurry.

If you keep this up, I might just use the Eye of Burning Sun!

Hu Yi’s overlapping shadows, even his voice was overlapping: "As long as Mr. Du’s body control is precise enough, you can use quicker and simpler methods to evade branch attacks."

Du Yu nodded lightly.

Anyone can charge recklessly! True masters are all about micro-control?

As Du Yu contemplated, the numerous residual shadows finally coalesced into one.

Hu Yi: "This is just a concept; the difficulty lies in integrating this concept into combat footwork."

"Combat footwork?"

Hu Yi: "Holy Tiger’s movements during combat, driven by instinct, are the most simple and effective.

My Hu family ancestors observed tiger movements, imitated tiger gods, and integrated the most basic bow, horse, servant, and phantom steps of the Human Race, resulting in a set of Holy Tiger Steps."

Du Yu looked at Hu Yi in a daze, as if a new world had opened up.

Noble disciples are something else!

This is martial arts inheritance...

In Du Yu’s world, just setting up the Fire Fox Cannon on your shoulder and blasting away was enough!

This is the Demon Taming World, not the Ancient Martial World.

However, in Hu Yi’s world, there ought to be a Martial Arts System.

To this day, Du Yu has encountered martial arts only from the Chi Bear Race’s "Seven Axe Techniques."

Chop, slash, dig, hook, jab, sweep, block.

Du Yu was thoroughly familiar with every technique’s exertion skill and corresponding footwork.

He was uncertain whether Hu Yi’s "Holy Tiger Steps" were suitable for axe skills.

Hu Yi: "I will teach Mr. Du this footwork; whether it suits your combat style is up to you to decide.

Mr. Du has a wealth of Spiritual Artifact Holy Weapons, Demon Pet Demon Skills; you must combine your strengths and not be constrained."

Du Yu’s face was serious: "Alright, I understand."

Ultimately, this is the Demon Taming World.

The main and secondary priorities must be clear!

In the face of Kui Chou’s Thunder and Lightning Torrent, you talk to me about techniques?

In the face of Suanni’s Flowing Fire Dance, you talk to me about martial arts?

Today, Du Yu’s encounter with these is, of course, to better chop trees and dodge Cold Branch attacks.

He has Demon Skill· Rapid Lightning Flash, capable of instantaneous movement, naturally not disrupting his combat system because of a footwork set.

Hu Yi continued, "There is one more thing, Mr. Du."

Du Yu: "Please go ahead?"

Hu Yi: "You have a pair of bright eyes."

Du Yu slightly frowned, of course not thinking the other was confessing.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Hu means, I’m overly reliant on my eyes?"

On Hu Yi’s weathered face, there was rarely a hint of a smile.

Speaking with Du Yu is really easy.

Out of respect for Du Yu, there are some things that Hu Yi couldn’t say directly, so he just implied them.

"What’s wrong with my eyes?" Little Fen Yang suddenly popped up.

Du Yu looked at Hu Yi and said, "I have to rely on these eyes.

You know how swift the attack of the Divine Tree is; without these eyes, I wouldn’t survive the Steel Needle Torrential Rain."

"Steel Needle Torrential Rain." Hu Yi chewed on the term; wasn’t it quite apt?

"Du Yu, Du Yu~" Little Fen Yang puffed up, "Ask him, what’s wrong with my eyes?!"

Du Yu hurriedly responded in his mind, "Little Fen Yang’s eyes are the best! Ignore him, what does he know!"

Little Fen Yang pouted, "Exactly, exactly!"

Hu Yi didn’t know what the master and pet were saying.

He continued, "When all of Mr. Du’s attention is focused on vision, the other senses will automatically retreat."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Du Yu’s expression grew a bit odd.

Because he recalled the scene under the Central Hall of Huangtu Temple.

At that time, Little Mengnan had covered his eyes with a mask, and then, Du Yu vividly felt that sweet kiss.

Her soft lips... well, let’s not think about it in detail.

After all, Little Fen Yang is here; such scenes are not suitable for reminiscence now.

Hu Yi: "The Divine Tree attacks with branches, each branch is a solid entity, and when the branches strike down, they cause winds to arise."

Du Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, "You want me to give up my eyes and instead sense the changes in the wind?"

During this period, when confronting the Divine Tree, Du Yu had indeed used the Celestial Cyan Porcelain Demon Skill·Cloud Water Song.

Countless water droplets hovered in the air and spread under the tree.

Every drop of water was closely connected with Du Yu’s perception, allowing him to anticipate the attacks of the Withered Branch.

Yet the Kunlun Divine Tree didn’t let Du Yu rejoice for long.

All the water droplets he released were blown away by the Divine Tree’s energy winds.

Refusing to be discouraged, Du Yu again spread out water droplets, and the Divine Tree once again blew energy winds.

The subsequent battle evolved into Du Yu fighting in the whirlwind, which was disadvantageous to him.

"You don’t have to give up vision; you can combine the two."

Hu Yi spoke, turning to look at the White Tiger: "Mr. Du doesn’t have to resist; there are Demon Skills for sensing the wind changes."

"Oh?" Du Yu’s heart stirred, turning his gaze toward the White Tiger.

He realized that his previous feelings were correct!

Just now, this Demon Saint White Tiger was assessing, selecting.

"Wind Following Tiger, Cloud Following Dragon." Hu Yi said solemnly, "For the Holy Tiger, it can sense even the slightest gust around it."

Upon hearing this, Du Yu’s heart was greatly excited!

So strong?

What kind of bug-level perception ability is this?

The key is how covert it is!

Whether it’s the Celestial Cyan Porcelain Demon Skill·Cloud Water Song, the Wolf Lake Dog Race·Wolf Lake Celestial Wail, or the Desert Lynx·Desert Sandstorm.

The vast majority of perception Demon Skills in the world are very conspicuous!

Once they’re used, the opponent can sense and know they are being observed.

But listening to Hu Yi’s meaning...

"Mr. Du."

"Hmm?"

Hu Yi: "This Holy Tiger, I invited from the mountains; the White Tiger Race and my Hu Family have accompanied each other for generations, jointly guarding the Twin Divine Trees."

Suddenly, the White Tiger moved.

It paced forward slowly, arriving before Du Yu, looking down at the tiny human race.

Hu Yi: "I heard Mr. Du intends to chop down the Youhan Tree..."

Hu Yi’s words came to an abrupt stop because the White Tiger extended its long tail, resting it on Du Yu’s shoulder.

"Human Race."

Du Yu was startled, thinking he heard Little Shiwei’s voice!

My goodness~

This voice, so imperial?

The word "noble" has always been used to describe identity and status.

Du Yu never thought one day he would use the word to describe a voice.

The White Tiger closed its eyes, savoring something, its furry tail swept past Du Yu’s shoulder, brushed his cheek.

The majestic imperial voice echoed again in Du Yu’s mind, "You have a divine mission, and an unyielding heart."

Since the voice was female and so noble, Du Yu dared not act recklessly.

If it were a male tiger, Du Yu might have grabbed the tiger’s tail to test its texture.

Demon Saint White Tiger: "You and I share the same goal, maybe we can help each other."

Little Fen Yang: "Du Yu, Du Yu~"

"Ah."

"The little tiger’s voice is so nice~"

Du Yu: "..."

It’s really you, Little Fen Yang!

This change of mood is too fast...

Little Fen Yang whispered: "It feels so safe~"

Upon hearing this, Du Yu nodded.

The White Tiger, as the Guardian Beast of the Kunlun Realm, indeed provides a great sense of security from its overall demeanor.

At least in Du Yu’s mind, a fierce beast like a tiger should be associated with words like brutality.

But the Holy White Tiger before him broke Du Yu’s understanding.

"Human Race, your body contains many Supremes, I dare not speak lightly. But with my power and Demon Skills, I should be able to assist you somewhat."

The Demon Saint White Tiger paused, continued, "When you chop down the Cold Tree, my race’s Supreme will also assist.

Thus, it can fully unleash Demon Skills, helping you and me destroy the Cold Wood!"

Du Yu said solemnly, "Good!"

The esteemed Guardian Sacred Beast of the Kunlun Realm voluntarily joined the team; how could he refuse?

At this moment, Du Yu recalled the words Commander Jin Hao once said to him in Xuena City:

You just keep moving forward!

Behind you, there will always be thousands of heroic soldiers!
