Alone and Infinite

"Row!"

Li Xia brought the steel pot downstairs. Kalinta couldn't cook properly, so he could only eat stewed or boiled foods, such as curry. But this was still better than eating dry rations.

Fresh ingredients were taken out from the space, the cold light of the cleaver flashed by, and then there was a dense sound of chopping vegetables, like a storm.

The materials had already been cut into perfectly neat cubes, and the cat sage couldn't wait to lift the bottle of super holy water and pour it in.

After a few days, the cat immortal also discovered that this kid probably already knew the secret of the super holy water, so he stopped hiding it and would take a sip from the water bottle whenever he was thirsty.

I must say, it tastes pretty good with effervescent tablets added.

The ingredients were put in, a steamer was placed on top, and cat food cans were placed on top.

Then Li Xia placed his hands on both sides of the steel pot and circulated his true qi, and soon the pot began to boil.

This was a method taught by the Cat Sage. Kalin Tower is located 10,000 meters above the ground, where the air is thin, the pressure is low, and the boiling point of water is also low.

Conventional cooking methods are completely ineffective, but by using 'gas', not only can food be heated, but it can also be artificially pressurized, which is very convenient.

Soon, the fragrant and steaming hot food was ready.

The cat hermit brought over a small table, and the two sat on either side of it, enjoying their post-training meal.

While magic beans are good, nothing beats the aroma of canned tuna, crab meat, krill, and fish roe.

"By the way, Xia, you've been here for a week now, haven't you?"

Li Xia poured the stew over the rice and nodded, "Mmm."

He had a very fulfilling week, and every morning before dawn, he would practice standing meditation and breathing exercises to greet the sunrise.

Then he practiced all the routines he was familiar with to solidify his basic skills. At first, he practiced by himself, but later the cat sage also practiced with him.

However, his physical structure is different from that of humans, so he can only learn a rough outline in a vague way.

After mastering the basics, it's time for breakfast. We share breakfast with the cat sage, then rest for half an hour to relax and have some fun.

It was around 8 o'clock at this time.

Spend another three hours playing a chase game with the cat sage, which mainly focuses on practicing movement and dexterity.

At 11 o'clock, I took a half-hour break and reviewed the situation with the cat fairy to find areas for improvement.

At noon, I shared lunch with the cat sage again, and then took a one-hour nap (the cat sage was in charge of washing the dishes).

After getting up, go through the routine again to warm up. Once your body is warmed up, it's time for the actual sparring.

Originally, the cat immortal was worried that Li Xia was too badly injured, but as they fought, he found that this kid had thick skin and flesh, and his claws could scratch sparks off the skin even without adding any air!

Only luck can barely break through the defense!

After the practical exercise, it was time for dinner. After dinner, it was time for debriefing and discussing the problems that occurred during the practical exercise.

Evenings are the time for Zhou Tian to quiet his mind (the cat sage is still in charge of washing the dishes).

Now, Li Xia no longer regards the Zhou Tian (a system of energy cultivation) as a means of recovery and healing, but as a form of spiritual cultivation.

Relax your tense mind, use stillness to seek out the subtle movement within, and try to reach a higher spiritual realm.

And so, the day comes to an end.

This week has been incredibly fulfilling. The positive feedback of continuous improvement every day is addictive, even somewhat intoxicating.

His physical attributes on paper haven't actually improved. His physique has reached a certain limit, making it difficult to improve his attributes through simple training.

The attribute points in the hall essentially strengthen the body's cells, so theoretically, the body can only continue to become stronger through attribute points.

However, his overall strength is definitely much stronger than before. All things considered, Li Xia has only been in the space for a few months.

Even though I haven't stopped for the past few months, the rapid improvement in my physical condition has undoubtedly caused a disconnect.

This week is a crucial time for reflection and digestion; in a sense, he has become more 'substantial'.

This positive feedback that improves every day is irresistible, and can even be quite addictive.

Li Xia almost forgot why she came here.

"Your strength is already sufficient to obtain the Super Holy Water, so you should have passed the test by now."

The cat twitched its whiskers and licked the canned food stuck to its nose:

"Are you planning to stay here and cultivate indefinitely?"

You are still young, you should travel more and see the world. It will be good for your martial arts. Wait until you feel lost and can't find your way forward.

Why not come back to Kalinta, try to calm yourself down, reflect on the path you've walked, the life you've experienced, and find your own path?

Li Xia listened attentively. The cat fairy was truly thinking of him. Even though its life had undergone tremendous changes during this time, it would return to that desolate life once he left.

I'm still earnestly advising myself.

Judging by the time, Tao Pai Pai should be arriving soon, right?

Just as Li Xia was about to speak, she suddenly saw the Cat Sage abruptly turn to the side, his expression somewhat serious.

"Oh no, why is he here?"

"Who?"

"Crane School - The World's Number One Assassin"

The cat sage stood up and walked to the railing, uttering the name Li Xia had been waiting for:

"Peach White!"

Chapter 106. At 10,000 Meters Altitude, an Extreme Rescue! (14)

The cat sage pointed his wooden staff at the crystal ball above the hall, and an image immediately appeared inside.

Tao Pai Pai, dressed in his unique custom-made outfit, stood on a pillar that was flying at high speed, with his hands behind his back.

Judging by its appearance alone, it is an absolutely top-notch master.

The cat sage stared at Tao Pai Pai in the crystal ball, scratching his chin with his cat paw. He wasn't omniscient or omnipotent, but he could see many things.

"How did Tao Pai Pai do that?"

Li Xia suddenly asked.

"Ok?"

Li Xia pointed to Tao Baibai, who was flying at high speed while standing on a pillar. This pillar was traveling at a speed of over 2,000 kilometers per hour, comparable to an airplane, and it had been flying in the air for a full half hour.

This was simply unbelievable. Li Xia knew that even if he used all his strength, he couldn't do it, he was far from being able to.

The cat chuckled, "Oh, that's just a silly little trick."

It tapped its head with its wooden cane: "Tao Pai Pai is Master Crane's younger brother. The Crane School has a unique secret technique called 'Flying Technique.' Although I don't know it, I can guess what it is."

It should be some advanced application of 'ki'. Tao Pai Pai attaches ki to the pillar, and only needs to use ki to push the pillar, which is much simpler than flying by himself.

So it looks very scary.

Oh! I understand!

Li Xia nodded in sudden realization. It was because the Crane Immortal Flow could make air act like a propulsion system, and if a human were to fly, maintaining flight posture would require adjusting many vectors.

Therefore, in the early stages of the game, the Flying Technique is rarely used in combat, and the flight is not fast and is mostly done in a standing position.

Using pillars is much simpler. You only need to provide enough thrust and upward force to achieve rapid flight, and when you rise to the highest point, you can also use gravity to descend.

In short, it's all about strength; bricks fly.

"Flying Technique," Li Xia muttered to himself, wishing he could unleash it!

How long until Tao Pai Pai arrives?

"About three or four minutes."

The cat-like immortal watched in confusion as Li Xia finished dressing, walked to the railing, and waved at him.

"I'll be going now. I left some canned food and snacks for you in your room, remember to eat them!"

After saying that, he used one hand to support himself on the railing and jumped down.

The cat sage stared in disbelief, then rushed over and shouted anxiously, "What are you doing? You'll fall and die!"

This is 10,000 meters in the air!

The wind howled in my ears, and the strong airflow from the fall pressed against my face, making it difficult to even open my eyes.

The surrounding clouds and mist were thrown into chaos by his high-speed fall, with wisps of them rushing past him and blurring his vision.

As the altitude continued to decrease, the air pressure changed drastically, and a rumbling sound, like the beating of drums, came from the eardrums.

The altimeter in my right eye kept showing the altitude I was descending: 9000 meters, 8000 meters, 7000 meters.

When there were still 5,000 meters left, Li Xia suddenly stretched out his body, maximizing his cross-sectional area.

The speed suddenly slowed down, and due to the strong wind resistance, the speed eventually stopped increasing and instead maintained a relatively stable balance.

Li Xia may not know how to fly, but he knows how to calculate!

The gravity in the Dragon Ball world is less than a quarter of that on Earth. If you jump from 10,000 meters, your final terminal velocity would be about 25 meters per second.

The force it experiences upon landing is approximately 20,000 N, a force that would be unbearable if it were only supported by its legs.

Therefore, a little trick is needed when landing!

At this moment, at the foot of Korin Tower, Goku was happily holding the Four-Star Star and chatting with Bra and Upa.

"These are Grandpa's belongings! We've finally found them!"

"Is this little ball really that magical?" Brahma was puzzled by the fact that so many people were vying for the bead.

He pointed to Kalinta beside him: "If they're all legends, I think Kalinta is more real."

Recalling the young man who wanted to climb the tower, Brahma sighed, "He should have climbed up and met the immortals."

Goku was putting the four-star item to his chest when he heard Korin's words and asked curiously:

"Kalin Tower? Do immortals live up there? It's so tall—"

"Yes, I suspected it was just a legend before, but a few days ago a young man came here saying he wanted to climb the tower to see the immortals."

Blara described it to Goku, whose eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally he clenched his fist and shouted with joy:

"That's Xia! So Xia was secretly cultivating up there!"

Although Goku became exceptionally innocent and kind after suffering brain damage, his fighting instinct, which was already imprinted in his DNA, kept urging him to become stronger.

So when Goku heard that Natsu was training on Korin Tower, he was immediately very tempted.

He gazed at the towering Kalin Tower, as if having made a decision, his eyes filled with longing:

"Oh right. Xia needs the Dragon Balls. I want to go up too, and train with the Sage!"

He stretched his body and was preparing to climb the tower when suddenly a black dot flew over at an extremely fast speed in the distance.

"boom----!!!"

The dark shadow flew over their heads at an extremely fast speed, crashing into the ground with a loud thud.

In an instant, soil mixed with fallen leaves fluttered down, and the dust kicked up spread around.

A broken stone pillar was seen diagonally embedded in the ground, and a dark figure gracefully descended from the sky, landing gently on the protruding pillar.

"Oh? There are actually three people."

Tao Pai Pai reached into his pocket and took out a photo. After comparing it, he locked onto Sun Wukong, who was looking at him warily.

"Found you, isn't it, Sun Wukong?"

Before Wukong could speak, Bora had already taken a step forward, holding the stone spear, and loudly asked:

"Who are you, and why have you come to the sacred land of Kalin to disturb the immortals?"

"An immortal?" Tao Pai Pai scoffed, waving her hand as if dismissing trash:
