Apollo flew above the desert, his figure a small blur flashing from terrain to terrain.
Using the natural flying ability of a 4th Step Qi Condensation Stage, combined with his Wind Blast Flying Technique—refined numerous times—he had reached a speed even faster than a 2nd Step Core Creation Stage. Apollo even suspected that his current speed rivaled that of a 4th Step Core Creation Stage, if not a stage beyond Core Creation entirely.
However, since he hadn't met anyone strong enough to compare with, his thoughts remained theoretical.
The beggar narrowed his eyes at the passing landscape, his vision zooming in to observe every detail.
The desert was vast, but with his speed, he quickly found its edge—arriving at the Wadis Region, a land where only dry riverbeds remained.
These ancient riverbeds were connected in a complex network, and the whole of the Wadis was shaped like a maze.
