The golden morning light bathed Jia Ma Sacred City in a radiant glow, but within a quiet chamber of an inn, Xiao Feng sat cross-legged as a new Dou Technique was being engraved deep into his mind.

A burst of spiritual light flickered in his eyes as complex hand seals began to etch themselves into his memory. This wasn't a simple strike—it was a palm technique rooted in wind element and ancient compassion-based philosophy. Despite the name, it tore through its targets like a divine wind from the heavens.

Outside the city, deep into a secluded canyon, Xiao Feng practiced the palm strike again and again, the air resonating with each hand seal.
Hu!
A vast emerald-green palm print, howling with wind force, exploded against a boulder mountain wall, reducing it to rubble in seconds.
He stared at the results, quietly impressed.
> "Fast, powerful… and majestic. I like it."

That evening, back at the inn, Xiao Feng sat on the balcony overlooking the bustling streets below. Laughter echoed, lamps flickered, and life moved on. But his heart stirred for something else—chaos, challenge, blood, danger.
The next destination formed clearly in his mind.
> "Black-Corner Region."
A lawless place where strength was the only truth. Where criminal empires rose and fell in a single day. If he wanted to push himself further, that place was ideal.

Two Days Later – Farewell
Clad in his battle attire—a regal white-silver robe beneath a flowing pure white cloak, a half-silver mask covering the upper half of his face with golden wind patterns etched into it—Xiao Feng hovered high above the forest, several hundred kilometers from the city.
Behind him, the tall walls of Jia Ma Sacred City could still be seen faintly in the far distance, glowing under the morning sun.
He turned his head slowly, gazing at it for a long moment.
> "I'll be back… in seven, maybe nine years."
"Stronger and Unstoppable."
Then, without another word, wind swirled beneath his feet. His cloak fluttered. A flash of white and silver blurred into the horizon.
He soared straight into the Magic Beast Mountain Range, disappearing like a ghost into the wild expanse. His goal? The Black-Corner Region—a land of chaos, sin, and unmatched opportunity.
