Chapter 73 Arrival (Please Favorite, Please Follow!)
Due to the outermost defense array of the Flying Boat being damaged, and Junior Master Zhao lacking the means to repair it himself, gusts of wind and turbulent flows intermittently appeared on the deck.
Even the main door on the first floor, under the assault of fierce winds and chaotic streams, would emit a grating noise that set one's teeth on edge from time to time.
In such conditions, even Li Shiming couldn't venture onto the deck, as Junior Master Cui told him, without the protection of Spiritual Power Patterns on his body, the unguarded deck was extremely dangerous.
From the perspective of science in his past life, the dangers in the high skies were theoretically limited to conditions such as hypoxia, cold temperatures, and low air pressure, which should pose no threat to a cultivator's body.
But he also understood that this world had Spiritual Energy, which made many things behave abnormally.
It was his responsibility to look after the nine youths, he would rest on the second floor, and would only come down to prepare meals for them at mealtime.
As for the rest of the time, after having experienced a life-and-death encounter, the nine youths became much less mischievous and very well-behaved to an extent that was almost alarming.
While Li Shiming practiced on the second floor, although he couldn't use the Gathering Spirit Plate, he felt an environment even more conducive to cultivation than the Gathering Spirit Plate provided.
The dense Spiritual Energy here was more than twice the concentration he experienced when using the Gathering Spirit Plate in the secular world.
During this period, he also reflected on the experience of the previous battle, especially the technique 'Devil's Sound into the Ear.'
The name 'Devil's Sound into the Ear' he had learned during a conversation among the three Junior Masters; it was a unique Sound Wave Technique of the Xuanming Sect, capable of affecting an opponent with laughter even before the battle began.
Using 'Devil's Sound into the Ear' against cultivators a whole tier lower was almost always advantageous—just a burst of laughter could wipe out a group of cultivators.
