Reversing the Milky Way

Looking at the chicken wing in front of him, which was thicker and longer than his own thigh, Bai Cheng approached Xiao Huang with a fawning expression.

"Hey Bird Master, Bird Bro, could you please take care of this chicken wing I'm holding for me too?"

Xiao Huang, who was enjoying his meal, looked at Bai Cheng in front of him after hearing this.

Then, Little Yellow stretched out one of its wings and began to flap it like a human arm. Bai Cheng was also somewhat incredulous when he saw this.

'So this is a high-level demonic beast? I didn't expect it to understand human language so easily.'

Immediately afterward, Bai Cheng gripped the tip of the chicken wing tightly and held it horizontally in front of him. Seeing this action, Xiao Huang nodded in satisfaction. The next moment, he gathered lightning in his mouth again. As lightning flashed in front of Bai Cheng, the chicken wing in his hand emitted wisps of heat. At this moment, he also felt that the hand holding the tip of the chicken wing had become extremely hot. He immediately released the power of the fragments in his body and gathered it into the arm that was holding the tip of the chicken wing. As the arm began to glow with a blue light, Bai Cheng immediately felt that the burning sensation in his hand had disappeared.

Then another bolt of lightning flashed, and the chicken wings in his hand became fragrant, white with a hint of red, and oil sizzled out between the meat. Then another bolt of lightning flashed, and the skin of the chicken wings in front of Bai Cheng became crispy and delicious, and the meat was tender.

After that, Little Yellow raised its wings and flapped them twice, as if to say that these were all a piece of cake, and then turned its head to continue to feast.

Bai Cheng was completely dumbfounded at this moment, and he secretly glanced at Xiao Huang.

"Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen chicken cooked with lightning, and in just a few breaths! This bird is amazing!"

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng looked at the chicken wing in his hand. He took a bite, and the aroma of the chicken instantly burst in his mouth. Bai Cheng's taste buds were completely awakened at this moment, and then he began to wolf it down.

After some time...

At this moment, Bai Cheng and Xiao Huang were lying side by side on the grass, and Bai Cheng gave Xiao Huang a thumbs up.

"Xiao Huang, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. It's just a pity that it only has the flavor of chicken and lacks a bit of seasoning."

At this moment, Bai Cheng recalled that when he settled down in Yuqing, he made a bottle of five-spice seasoning. Although there were no seasoning plants like banana leaves and cumin in this world, there were some similar plants with the same effect. After drying, crushing and mixing them, they could be used as cumin powder. Bai Cheng gave it a friendly name: "Fragrant Powder".

'It would be a shame not to use this bird; we must make good use of it. When we have time, we should make some fragrant powder.'

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng also leaped up and stood up.

"There is still a month before the White House Academy admissions. In the meantime, I will continue to use the Body Refining Technique to cultivate spiritual energy and see how far I can go."

After saying that, Bai Cheng turned his head to the side and looked at Xiao Huang, who was lying lazily to the side, and he also had some doubts.

'I wonder what kind of combat power this Golden-Winged Thunderbird possessed in its youth.'

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng immediately said to Xiao Huang, "Xiao Huang, how about we have a spar?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huang lazily stood up and flapped its wings twice. Then, it looked at Bai Cheng with sharp eyes. Bai Cheng tensed up immediately upon feeling Xiao Huang's gaze, quickly preparing himself and focusing intently on Xiao Huang in front of him.

At this moment, the surrounding air began to become scorching, and the sound of the waterfall seemed to come to an abrupt halt, with a tense atmosphere permeating between Xiao Huang and Bai Cheng.

However, the next moment, as the water splashed in the pool in the distance, a figure quickly emerged from the pool.

"Cough, cough! Damn it, why is this road so long? It made me take a Spirit Gathering Pill."

However, the next moment, Han Yu was shocked by the scene before him. In the spacious cave, as far as the eye could see, there were spiritual plants and herbs that emitted a faint glow.

"This! This is all spirit herbs! This is a first-grade Candlelight Grass! This is Immortal Rhyme Leaf! This is Mysterious Yellow Orchid! Heavens! This is a second-grade Water Spirit Vine!"

Looking at Han Yu, who was going crazy in front of him, Bai Cheng's mind was in turmoil. But what he had more on his mind was how Han Yu had found this place. However, what bothered Bai Cheng even more was that Han Yu was not wearing the uniform of the Surveillance Bureau.

After a moment of frenzy, Han Yu noticed that Bai Cheng was looking at him with a strange expression.

However, he didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, he directly summoned his longsword from the storage bag at his waist and walked towards Bai Cheng step by step. The madness on his face disappeared abruptly, replaced by a cold gaze that exuded killing intent.

"Boy, I'm giving you two choices: either you go to your death, or I'll send you to your death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the large purple bird behind Bai Cheng, but he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

"Hmm? What's this? I didn't expect you to prepare a pet for me. Not bad, I like it very much."

Immediately afterwards, Han Yu let out a cold laugh, and his eyes became even more ferocious.

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Cheng frowned slightly.

"Tsk, I was wondering why everything was going wrong today. Turns out it was a dog coming to my door. Well then, I only have option three: send you to your grave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Cheng immediately activated the power of the fragments within his body, because he discovered that the longsword in Han Yu's hand was of a higher grade than the Cold Moon Blade in his own hand, and he could not afford to be careless.

However, Han Yu on the other side was also filled with anger after hearing Bai Cheng's words.

"Boy, you are looking for death!"

Having said that, he brandished his longsword and unleashed a slash. A fiery red strike, accompanied by a surging heatwave, hurtled towards Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng was also taken aback upon seeing this.

"What? It's fire-attribute spiritual power!"

Bai Cheng's body crackled with lightning as he swiftly dodged the attack. However, the instant the strike touched the grass, flames erupted in all directions, instantly creating a wall of fire several meters high behind Bai Cheng.

Seeing this, Bai Cheng felt a pang of heartache. Not for any other reason than that Han Yu's strike had destroyed hundreds of Candlelight Grass plants. Bai Cheng had planned to sell all the spiritual herbs and plants here when the spiritual energy dissipated. Han Yu's sword hadn't just struck the grass; it had struck Bai Cheng's very heart.

"What are you doing? Didn't your teacher teach you to protect the environment?"

With that, Bai Cheng leaped up like lightning, unleashing astonishing speed. His entire body glowed with blue light, accompanied by flashing lightning beneath his feet, and he instantly arrived before Han Yu.

"What! That's incredibly fast?"

With a look of shock on Han Yu's face, Bai Cheng swung his treasured sword with all his might, aiming directly at Han Yu's neck. However, in the next instant, Bai Cheng's sword was blocked by a fiery red spiritual energy barrier.

This is a common self-protection method used by cultivators. When faced with various kinds of spiritual energy attacks, they can condense their own spiritual energy on the surface of their body to form a barrier, which can resist most of the spiritual energy attacks.

Bai Cheng had already witnessed this before. He controlled his spiritual power and concentrated it on the hilt of the sword. Immediately afterwards, the blade of the Cold Moon Sword emitted streaks of golden lightning.

After sensing Bai Cheng's spiritual energy fluctuations, Han Yu quickly leaped backward. Upon landing, he subconsciously touched his neck, only to find a bloodstain on his hand in a horrified state.

However, just as he was stunned, a bolt of lightning illuminated the dark cave and struck the completely unprepared Han Yu. In an instant, accompanied by flashes of lightning, Han Yu was blasted against a distant wall.

Bai Cheng turned his head and saw that Xiao Huang's eyes were emitting lightning and its mouth was flashing with lightning.

"Well done, Xiao Huang!"

However, at that moment, flames suddenly shot into the sky from the dimly lit stone wall in the distance, slowly condensing into a huge fireball that burned continuously. Then, after emitting a burst of spiritual energy, the fireball rapidly attacked Bai Cheng.

However, upon seeing this, Xiao Huang gathered lightning in its mouth again, and as the lightning shot out, it instantly pierced through the massive fireball that was attacking. The next moment, the fireball exploded violently, and the dark cave was instantly illuminated as brightly as day. Intense spiritual energy fluctuations, accompanied by rolling heat waves, quickly swept through every corner of the cave.

The explosion also caused the grassy areas inside the cave to burst into flames, and thick smoke quickly spread throughout the cave.

"Oh no, we need to put out the fire right away!"

However, the flames burning on the grass seemed to come alive, rapidly converging on Bai Cheng and forming a circular wall of fire that surrounded him. Bai Cheng frowned upon seeing this. He had witnessed fire-attribute cultivators manipulating their elemental affinity in the academy, but seeing this scene again truly surprised him.

As a gap suddenly appeared in the wall of fire in front of Bai Cheng, Han Yu's figure emerged from the flames.

"I was wondering why this strange bird looked so familiar. Now I remember, it's a baby Golden-winged Thunderbird! It seems today's trip was really worthwhile, I actually managed to encounter a Golden-winged Thunderbird! Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng also looked at Han Yu with a solemn expression. At this moment, the clothes on Han Yu's chest had been charred in the lightning, but he seemed completely unharmed.

"Fire Spirit Technique, Crimson Sun Flame Dance".

As soon as he finished speaking, the flames around Han Yu began to dance wildly. With a swing of his longsword, the flames around him began to swirl, forming a fiery tornado.

At that moment, the temperature inside the cave began to rise rapidly, and the scattered sparks started to ignite the grass throughout the cave. Although Bai Cheng was in the state of fragmented power, he could still vaguely feel the heat emanating from his skin. Then, his clothes began to curl up and emit thick smoke.

Seeing this, his heart tightened, and he nervously looked at Little Yellow beside him. He saw that Little Yellow's purple fur had begun to curl, and its bright color had become dull and lifeless.

"Little Yellow! Quick, hide inside the waterfall!"

Upon hearing this, Little Yellow flapped its wings. Although it couldn't fly yet, it could glide for a distance without any problem. As Little Yellow charged out of the ring of fire, its entire body plunged into the pool below the waterfall.

"Kid! You should worry about yourself!"

As the words fell, the fiery tornado that had enveloped Han Yu rapidly hurtled towards Bai Cheng. As the tornado slowly approached, the surrounding flames seemed to be drawn to it, with countless flames shooting into the sky and being sucked into the massive tornado, which in turn grew even larger.

When the fire tornado reached Bai Cheng, it had already reached a height of 100 meters and a diameter of 30 meters. At this moment, Bai Cheng also noticed that his clothes had begun to catch fire.

"Damn it, this is my last piece of clothing, I can't let it just disappear like this."

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng quickly turned around, intending to jump into the pool not far away. However, at that moment, several red chains swiftly emerged from the ground beneath Bai Cheng's feet, tightly binding his limbs.

"Damn it! It's that trick again."

"That's right. Once my Fire Spirit Technique's Flame Lock binds you, you can't break free unless your cultivation level is higher than mine. Otherwise, you won't be able to break free of these chains."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fire tornado arrived in front of Bai Cheng. However, at that moment, a huge blue array suddenly lit up at the top of the mysterious cave, covering the entire stone wall above. After a burst of light from the array, a bird suddenly appeared and swam on the stone wall at the top of the cave, as if it were alive.

As a bird's cry came from overhead, the distant waterfall began to tilt, its waters cascading towards the fire tornado as if drawn by the bird's call.

Bai Cheng felt himself enveloped by a cool stream of water. The next moment, the water formed a waterspout that instantly swallowed the fire tornado in front of him. The powerful rotation and the resulting wind instantly carried away the scorching heat in the cave.

Bai Cheng was stunned by what he saw.

"What! What's going on? What happened?"

Han Yu was also shocked as he looked at the scene before him. He looked up at the blue magic circle at the top of the cave and saw that the bird in the magic circle was emitting bursts of blue light as it shuttled back and forth between the rock walls. Wherever it went, the water from the waterfall would be attracted to the area directly below it, extinguishing the burning flames.

Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"That scared me to death! I thought it was some kind of expert here, but it turns out it's just a rain spirit array left behind. It seems that the array hidden in the cave will activate when it senses a change in temperature, probably to protect the spiritual herbs in the cave."

At this moment, the waterspout in the cave began to turn into water droplets and slowly dissipate, while white steam immediately filled the entire cave.

At this moment, Bai Cheng also discovered that the red chains binding him had disappeared without him noticing.
