Chapter 3437 Cloud Wings
The Cloud Wing Magic Treasure is completely different from the Sky Shuttle.

The Sky Shuttle is an external magical artifact that can be controlled, while the Cloud Wings are a type that requires modification of the body to develop.

This relates to the theory of bloodline mentioned by Hu Yu.

The better the bloodline, the higher the upper limit of the Cloud Wing magic weapon's performance, and the stronger the cloud wings formed will be in terms of speed and endurance.

The worse the bloodline, the more likely the cloud-winged magic weapon will be covered in dust. The same treasure will produce vastly different effects, and the cloud wings might fall off after just a few flaps of the wings.

Are you sure this is the procedure?

After Zhang Xuezhou landed and accepted Hu Yu's offering, he gradually inquired about the relevant details.

He looked back at Hu Yu again, supported by two supports hanging from his back.

"That's the procedure, but your body simply can't accommodate the Cloud Wings!"

Hu Yu ignored Zhang Xuezhou's scrutiny. He stood behind Zhang Xuezhou, circling around installing the Cloud Wing, only to find that the Cloud Wing's reach was difficult to insert into Zhang Xuezhou's shoulder blades.

"Does this cloud-winged garment really have to be inserted into my flesh and blood?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"It needs to touch the most suitable spot for your wings to grow, otherwise these cloud wings will grow haphazardly," Tiger Cultivation said confidently. "It doesn't need to penetrate your flesh, but it should at least get some blood on it!"

"It's easy!"

How could a body that has attained sainthood be cut by Yun Yi's sharp blade? Even if Zhang Xuezhou lay still, such damage would be difficult to penetrate his body.

The Wind and Thunder Blade in his hand was merely for show; it couldn't unleash the power released by Hu Kui and the others. Zhang Xuezhou wasn't optimistic about the Cloud Wing magic weapon, which required bloodlines, but he didn't mind using the Crimson Gold Cloud Wing to figure out how to control such magic weapons. Perhaps one day they might be able to develop a similar magic weapon.

"Where the cloud wings are born, we take the blood from that place?" Zhang Xuezhou asked repeatedly to confirm.

“Yes, one is the upper range and the other is the lower range. As long as the growth range of the cloud wing is defined, it will not grow randomly,” Hu Yu nodded repeatedly.

"Where is the blood smeared?"

"Here and here!"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't figure out the Cloud Wings, so he forced out four drops of blood to apply and check the effect.

"This precious bloodline was only possessed by our ancestors. You truly deserve to be the executor chosen by the family!"

Zhang Xuezhou's blood was like mercury, and the continuous sequence of evolution and physical cultivation looked like sauce, with a pale gold tinge in its bright red color. This made Hu Yu extremely envious, and he even concluded that Zhang Xuezhou was a foreign genius that the family had its eye on.

While geniuses from other races will not participate in the distribution of core family interests, they will certainly be trusted by the family to carry out important tasks.

Hu Yu repeatedly followed and flattered, but did not return to the Qin Meng capital. He was somewhat worried that if he messed up his affairs, the family would change the person to be trained, such as transferring everything to Hu Hao.

He could either glean information from Zhang Xuezhou to clarify the facts, or strive to improve their relationship so that the other party would choose him as their target. These things were more important than returning to the Qin-Meng capital to clean up the mess.

If the matter could not be confirmed, Hu Yu was even somewhat afraid of being summoned by the Tiger Soul Hall, and feared being punished by his family for doing something wrong, such as having his control of Ding Kui transferred or being stripped of control of the magic weapon.

He wasn't good at flattery, and he spoke awkwardly, starting to fawn over Zhang Xuezhou before Zhang could even command the cloud wings.

"Haha~"

Zhang Xuezhou responded with a meaningless, perfunctory reply, but a slight thought couldn't help but stir within him.

With a simple smear of blood, he was able to sense the cloud wings and even control them.

It was as if all he needed to do was exert force with his hands, and these two supports would be erected, even evolving into the kind of light wings that could propel a tiger into flight.

How do these light wings work?

Zhang Xuezhou didn't act recklessly, but instead asked Hu Yu about the relevant details, which surprised Hu Yu.

“That’s it…like this…” Hu Yu gestured back and forth.

Within the Tiger Saint Family, many cultivators continuously strive for advancement and acquire treasures based on their strength. These treasures are chosen based on the cultivator's bloodline and do not require the cultivator's cooperation.

Just as one knows how to pick up food with two chopsticks in one's palm, this is a natural thing for cultivators, without any deliberate operation.

He gestured for a while and then shared his experience in controlling the cloud wings.

The method of controlling Hu Yu was nothing special. Zhang Xuezhou, who used the "Cloud Technique" to fly, was already used to flying with wings. However, Zhang Xuezhou was a little confused about this kind of magic weapon.

He felt that magical artifacts shouldn't be so simple, as this was too similar to the ancient cultivators of the Three Realms identifying treasures by smearing blood, but the abilities of the magical artifacts formed by each were different.

After listening to Hu Yu's ramblings repeatedly, he couldn't help but slowly exert force with both hands.

The sound of the Cloud Wing support creaking and breaking came from behind. Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Hu Yu and saw that Hu Yu had a fawning look on his face. Only then did he continue to exert force.

"There's something sealed in this stent that reacted rapidly with my blood; this situation seems somewhat familiar!"

With a thought, Zhang Xuezhou saw the wing support turn to ash, and at the same time, two pale golden orbs of light appeared near his arm.

"Press harder, just a little more and it will unfold!"

Tiger Yu reached out and made a pinching motion while making sounds, the gesture seeming to be both encouragement and a demonstration.

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, his hands increasing their strength, while the light sphere on his shoulder remained motionless, as if Zhang Xuezhou's blood did not meet the requirements, thus preventing the growth of light wings.

Breaking the cloud wing support is considered Zhang Xuezhou's unsealing; whether he can use the magic weapon depends on whether his power can flow through his bloodline to form light wings.

With thousands of pounds of force constantly exerting itself, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but purse his lips.

Hu Yu's "bloodline theory" does have its merits; even if he obtained the Cloud Wing magic weapon, he would not be able to use it.

"That's impossible! I spent a fortune to acquire this treasure; it's part of my later-stage Cloud Wing upgrade. It's impossible for it to be damaged beyond repair. Tianbao Pavilion has never done anything to damage its reputation. Could someone be targeting me...?"

Zhang Xuezhou had figured it out, while Hu Yu had begun to doubt Hu Sheng, constantly wondering if there was anything he had overlooked with his Cloud Wings that prevented Zhang Xuezhou from even unfolding his Light Wings.

In Hu Yu's understanding, there are only two possible reasons for this situation.

One reason is that the Cloud Wing is missing or damaged, and another reason is that Zhang Xuezhou's bloodline has nothing to do with the Tiger Saint family, making it difficult to use.

He felt that Zhang Xuezhou's bloodline, which could control the Wind and Thunder Blade, was at least of the highest level among the sub-branches, if not precious, and it was impossible that he couldn't even open the Cloud Wing.

Despite repeated doubts, Hu Yu could only imagine that Yun Yi was damaged.

He looked embarrassed, feeling that he had messed up his gift.

"Huh? It works?"

As Hu Yu thoroughly reflected on his situation, he saw that the two orbs of light on Zhang Xuezhou's shoulders had been opened, and faint golden wings of light began to continuously form along his arms.

"This magical artifact has been sitting for a while, so it might be a little laggy. Just wait a bit, and it shouldn't affect its use!"

Hu Yu snapped out of his daze and quickly made an embarrassed statement.

Zhang Xuezhou's expression changed slightly.

He activated the "Cloud Technique," feeling the cloud wings constantly being refined in his arms and propelling them upwards.

He simply felt that the cultivation systems were similar and tried it out with his own abilities. He never expected that Yunyi could be refined by the "Cloud Technique".

Even though no demonic power was generated within his body at the moment, Yunyi was like an extra-body demonic clone, constantly being refined and formed by the power of the sequence drawn by his blood.
