Under the dim light of the crescent moon, Zhao Yunxiao stood under a tree located a short distance away from the rest of the Mystic Cavalry.


    It might be considered a short distance, yet it was still far enough for him to remain safely out of the range of their spiritual senses.


    Zhao Yunxiao’s expression was blank as he slowly walked around the tree with awkward steps, using a hand to brush across the rough bark of the tree.


    That was another factor that was making it more difficult to move in a natural manner, as well as an issue that Zhao Yunxiao would have no choice but to learn to deal with.


    Zhao Yunxiao’s clone eventually moved away from the tree and started to move around the woods, employing the Xuanwu Movement Art to the best of his abilities.


    It was clumsy, but it was working.


    Bit by bit, he started to familiarise himself with moving the clone around despite the lack of physical senses.


    His speed started getting faster, and he started being able to avoid more and more of the protruding branches instead of simply bulldozing through them.


    At the same time, Zhao Yunxiao tried to move around underground, splitting his consciousness into two as he controlled both his real body and the earthen clone at the same time.


    Doing so was still rather difficult for the current him, but Zhao Yunxiao was not too worried about that.


    There was a long road ahead.


    He knew that as long as he kept at it, mastery was only a matter of time.


    Even if he was not able to master it completely, just gaining a sufficient level of proficiency in it would be more than good enough for him!


    Zhao Yunxiao was finally satisfied after a few hours of practice, and slowly made his way back to where the rest of the party was.


    “Where have you been, Junior Martial Brother Zhao?” Pu Feixiang asked curiously upon noticing his return.


    “I haven’t been around this area much, so I was just exploring the area a little,” Zhao Yunxiao said with a smile, choosing not to reveal the fact that he had been out practising his new techniques.

    </a> It was a rather unimpressive looking inn situated near the midpoint of a mountain path, its location definitely secluded enough to be considered as being in the middle of nowhere.


    </a> Out of the three tables, two were occupied by soldiers donning uniform chest plates with a sabre hanging by their waists.
