Beauty and the Bodyguard

With that thought, Lin Yi didn't dare to delay and quickly ordered the spiritual bird to leave the bottom of the sea as fast as possible. His combat strength might have increased, but if he were to be entangled by sea beasts in this place, the possibility of him escaping alive was almost zero.

The spirit Bird was extremely fast. Even in the vast ocean, Lin Yi's pure Qi kept the water out. Its speed couldn't be underestimated. No matter what, it was still an original leveled spirit beast. It couldn't be helpless in the ocean.

Lin Yi didn't want to be entangled by the sea beasts, but the bird was even more afraid. The speed it was displaying at this moment was so fast that even Lin Yi was a little dumbfounded. He always thought that the spirit Bird had nothing to say other than speed, but now it seemed like he was right. Speed was indeed this guy's specialty, and even the endless sea couldn't stop it.

Lin Yi was speechless. With the speed the bird was displaying, even a lot of native sea beasts wouldn't be able to catch up to it. He even suspected that this guy was actually a water bird, just that it hadn't been discovered before.

As he was thinking, the bird had already taken Lin Yi to the sky, piercing through the sea like an arrow.

The whole process was extremely smooth, and he didn't catch the attention of a single sea beast.

It'd been half a year, and this was the first time he'd seen the light of day in the truest sense of the word. The pent-up feelings he'd been suppressing for so long were finally released, and Lin Yi felt his entire body become much lighter. Combined with this scene, he felt like he was a Free bird in the sky!

"It's indeed dangerous!" Lin Yi looked down and saw a few huge shadows swimming around the area where he came up from. He couldn't tell what kind of sea beasts they were, but from their size, they shouldn't be easy to deal with. Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he ran fast enough, or he would've been in trouble.

After calming himself down, Lin Yi ordered the spiritual bird to fly towards the North Island. He was chased by the West Mountain old sect this time, and it had been a long time since the deadline for the mission. He didn't know if anything happened on the North Island.

Lin Yi's heart was set on going home. He wasn't a native of Beidao, but on Sky Class Island, Beidao was his second home. All the people and things he knew were here, and the place in his heart was incomparable to other places.

The spirit Bird let out an excited cry and flew towards the North. It was even more excited than Lin Yi-it wasn't that it was attached to the island, but it was the first time it could try its maximum speed ever since it reached the nascent Soul Stage!

The spirit Bird race had an instinctive pursuit for speed. If they were not allowed to constantly try the extreme speed that they were so proud of, they would really go crazy. The spirit Bird that Huang Xiao Tao had left behind had been holding back for more than three months. If it was not allowed to soar to its heart's content, it might really go crazy ...

"Eh? This spiritual bird is quite interesting!" The ghastly being suddenly said with great interest.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder. He was more or less shocked by the spiritual bird's speed. He thought that this spiritual bird's talent was average, and even after its strength increased, its speed would only increase by a few times at most. But now it seemed that it was more than a few times, it was dozens of times!

"Don't you know that spirit birds are publicly acknowledged as the most useless race among all spirit beasts?" The ghastly thing asked instead of answering.

"Ha? It can't be that bad, right?" Lin Yi didn't think much of it-the spirit Bird couldn't be compared to many of the other powerful spirit beasts he'd seen, but it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that it was the weakest. There were so many different spirit beasts in the world, and there had to be one that was weaker than the spirit Bird.

"I didn't say that. It's a well-known fact among the spirit beasts." The ghastly thing laughed and immediately added,""In my opinion, even if the spiritual bird clan is not the weakest, they are definitely one of the weakest. There is no doubt about that."

"Why?" Lin Yi still couldn't understand.

"The reason is very simple. Every spirit beast race has their own unique racial talents, and there are strong and weak ones. However, one thing is certain. All spirit beasts have racial talents, except for one race, which is the spirit Bird race." The ghastly thing explained.

"Ha?" Lin Yi froze-this was the first time he'd heard of something like this, but it did seem to be true.

All the spirit beasts he had seen before had their own unique talents. Even the lightning pig, who had zero combat power, had a unique talent for treasure hunting. However, he had never seen this Spirit Bird before. Although it was not a low level Spirit Bird, it gave him the feeling that it was not much different from any other ordinary bird.

"If it weren't for the fact that they can also rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, they wouldn't even be classified as a spirit beast clan. A spirit beast clan that doesn't even have any racial talents, don't you think it's the weakest?" The ghostly thing paused and then said,""Spiritual birds don't have any racial talents. If you have to find one specialty, the only thing that barely meets this standard is that their speed is not bad. But that's only not bad. There are more than one or two races in the world that are faster than them."

"Alright, that sounds really sad." Lin Yi looked at the bird, speechless. This guy wasn't just average-he had no talent at all!

If it was any other original infant stage spirit beast, it would be a powerful force that could not be ignored. But now it was a Spirit Bird, so what if it was at the original infant stage? If he really forced it to fight, it'd be an enlarged version of a domestic fowl-just thinking about it made Lin Yi want to cry ...

"Don't be so disappointed yet. Although the spiritual birds have no talent, it doesn't mean that they have no chance of turning things around. As far as I know, they are the only spiritual beast race that can cultivate their speed to the extreme. Although it's only a special case, it at least shows that they have potential." The ghastly thing said.

"Train his speed to the maximum? Didn't you just say that there are more than one or two races that are faster than them?" Lin Yi asked, confused.

"On average, the speed of the spiritual birds can only be considered above average. However, there was a special case of the fastest among them, known as the heavenly spiritual bird!" When the ghastly thing said this, his tone became a little enthusiastic, which was rare. "There's a saying in the secular world that 'nothing is indestructible, only speed is indestructible. When one's speed reaches the extreme, even if all other abilities are zero, one can still be unrivaled in the world. The heavenly Spirit Bird was a one in a million special case. When faced with such an existence, even the top elders were helpless." (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
