《I Am Overlord》Chapter 472: Riding the Wind
Advertisement
Ruo Suifeng had an obstinate desire to obtain the yin devil wind. Charging into the storm two times for this goal was akin to suicide for others, but nobody understood the source of his unrelenting desire. He was known as the Little Wind God and had been cultivating the power of wind since young. He had even comprehended the initial stage of footwork intent, moving like the wind.
Over the years, he had been trying to perfect his mastery over the moving like the wind stage. That was the only way he could step into the second stage, shrinking space. His goal of charging into the storm was not only the yin devil wind. He was also trying to fully master the moving like the wind stage.
By putting himself in danger, he was able to finally increase his comprehension, reaching the mid-stage of moving like the wind, allowing him to maintain a stable footing amid the storm. As long as he could reach the late-stage and fully master this stage, he would be able to travel unimpeded in the storm. At that time, getting the yin devil wind would no longer pose any trouble.
Ruo Suifeng shut his eyes and started contemplating on his previous experiences, immersing himself in the storm to deepen his comprehension on footwork intent as fast as he could. Little did he know, Xiang Shaoyun, who was similarly in the storm, was actually capable of observing his every action. After all, he had assumed that the storm had already shredded Xiang Shaoyun to death.
It was all thanks to the Nether Soul Domain that Xiang Shaoyun was able to detect what Ruo Suifeng was doing in the storm. Inwardly, he thought to himself, So it turns out one can actually blend one's footwork intent with the storm, allowing one to maintain a stable footing.
At that thought, his eyes lit up as he activated his gift of instincts, allowing him to see the flow of wind in the storm, showing him a vague trajectory of the wind flow. Circulating the power of wind within him, he started blending himself into the storm.

He had long reached the mid-stage of moving like the wind during his travels in the devil wind beast territory after the recovery of his foundations. So long as he understood the essence of maintaining his footing in the storm, he would regain his freedom of movement.
Xiang Shaoyun no longer struggled against the wind. Instead, while circulating the power of the wind within him, he slowly blended with the storm, and his body started to slowly stabilize.
Finally, he was able to stand firm. He heaved a breath of relief as he thought, Moving with the wind, blending with the environment with the power of wind within me, and I will no longer be harmed by the storm. Why have I not thought of that earlier? How stupid!
He even started having an odd sense of gratitude toward Ruo Suifeng. If he had not overheard what Ruo Suifeng was muttering, it would have taken him much longer to figure this out. However, he was only temporarily out of danger. If he wanted to travel freely through the storm, he needed to advance his footwork intent.
First, Xiang Shaoyun refined a drop of lightning liquid in his body to quickly heal up. He then started contemplating the essence of footwork intent. "At the moving like the wind stage, one needs to blend the footwork with the wind. Only then would one be able to use the wind to enhance one's movement, further improving one's speed."
He started rearranging his thoughts with his eyes fixed on the flow of wind around him. Bit by bit, he etched the trajectory of the wind in his mind, deepening his understanding of the pattern in which the wind moved.
The ability to see the flow of wind was a talent granted to him by the Nether Soul Domain, a talent Ruo Suifeng didn't have. As his understanding of the wind trajectory deepened, he started using his footwork while channeling and combining his wind energy with it to try to adapt to his environment.

He took his first step in accordance with the wind flow, moving in the same direction as the wind around him, preventing the wind from damaging him. He successfully took the first step without sustaining any injury.
"Success! Hahaha!" Xiang Shaoyun grew excited.
After a successful first step, the subsequent steps would be much easier. Xiang Shaoyun started moving within the storm one step at a time, slowly grasping the method of survival within the storm. Without realizing it, he started moving faster and faster, reaching a point where he almost became one with the storm, his mind in a sort of thoughtless mode of contemplation.
"Moving like the wind, borrowing the power of wind, blending into the wind, riding the wind..." Bit by bit, the essence of footwork intent surfaced in Xiang Shaoyun's mind. His mastery over the moving like the wind stage started increasing rapidly, quickly reaching the late-stage. Finally, he was only a tiny bit away from fully mastering the first stage. Coincidentally, he passed by Ruo Suifeng at this moment.
Ruo Suifeng had his eyes shut, but he suddenly opened them. When he saw Xiang Shaoyun's figure, he exclaimed in alarm, "Impossible! How is he still alive? Damn it! He has comprehended the late-stage of moving like the wind before me? This is not possible!"
As Ruo Suifeng lost his concentration, his footing became unstable, and the wind nearly blew him away. Fortunately, he quickly refocused and stabilized his footing again after circulating the power of wind within him.
"No, I need to increase my speed of comprehension. I can't allow him to get the yin devil wind!" Ruo Suifeng's competitiveness was ignited, and he started circulating his wind power with all his strength as he sank into contemplation once again.
Before long, he took his first step in the storm like Xiang Shaoyun had done earlier. However, the first step had been completely by instinct. He was unable to observe the wind flow like Xiang Shaoyun, and because of that, after the first step, his body was blown away. The impact caused his blood to roil.
However, he was able to quickly readjust himself. With a firm look in his eyes, he took his second step. He was able to complete the second step much easier, but his body was still swaying about unstably.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Ruo Suifeng. He found that he could already fully blend himself with the storm and could walk amid it like normal, fully mastering the moving like the wind stage.
After grasping the essence of moving like the wind, he shifted his focus to the center of the storm. That was where the yin devil wind was located. Only by reaching there and obtaining the yin devil wind would he be able to complete Yu Caidie's mission. He did not hesitate and directly headed toward the yin devil wind's position.
"The position of Yu Clan's son-in-law is mine for sure!" Xiang Shaoyun said with a firm look in his eyes.
However, just as he started heading toward the yin devil wind, a boundless suction force erupted and destabilized his footing, causing him to crash uncontrollably into the center of the storm.
"Shit! What's happening?" Xiang Shaoyun had no idea why that had happened.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
