《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.
