Skirk picked Lu Li up from the spider silk hammock, preparing to put him down to walk.
Just as Lu Li's feet were about to touch the ground,
Skirk remembered that Lu Li had no shoes, and his clothes and pants were made of wolf fur.
The ground was cold and dirty, and he might get sick this way, so Skirk put Lu Li back into the spider silk hammock.
"Today, you'll practice walking on the spiderweb. Once you learn to walk and run, I'll teach you to fight."
Lu Li nodded.
He then began to practice walking on the spiderweb. After his dream last night, Lu Li had a stronger control over his body.
Although he couldn't walk steadily now, he would be able to return to his previous walking level with a bit of practice.
One step, two steps.
His two small feet stepped on the spider silk hammock.
The first step was a bit unsteady, but the second step quickly stabilized his posture.
Seeing Lu Li stabilize his walking practice, Skirk continued his own training for the day.
Lu Li prepared to take a third step.
Lu Li had just taken half a step with his left foot when he heard:
You have discovered the knack of walking. You feel that walking has become very easy for you, even walking out of the universe is something you can do!
You have created "Sky-Treading Steps"!
After Lu Li took two and a half steps, his heaven-defying comprehension once again kicked in.
Sky-Treading Steps?!
Lu Li wanted to try out the "Sky-Treading Steps" he had created.
Lu Li mentally recited the Secret for "Sky-Treading Steps"!
After activating Sky-Treading Steps,
Lu Li immediately felt as if there was a solid sensation beneath his feet.
Lu Li stepped out with his right foot!
An unknown force instantly lifted Lu Li. Lu Li felt his strength disappear faster than usual.
With his right foot stepping on air, he stepped out with his left foot, and his left foot was also lifted by the air.
Lu Li continued to walk upwards.
With each step, Lu Li was supported by this force. By the time Lu Li reached a height of two meters,
Lu Li felt his strength was almost depleted!
Using Sky-Treading Steps consumed Lu Li's physical strength.
Lu Li was still young and couldn't use Sky-Treading Steps for a long time.
However, getting a skill for free was pretty good.
Although "Sky-Treading Steps" wasn't of much use to Lu Li right now, once he became stronger in the future,
Lu Li wouldn't have to worry about any obstacles. It was like, as long as he wanted to walk, the path would be beneath his feet.
Skirk, who was practicing her sword, suddenly wanted to see how Lu Li was doing.
Skirk tilted his head. "What the hell?! This youngster?!"
I told you to learn to walk, and you're flying?
Lu Li wanted to test his limits, so he continued to use Sky-Treading Steps to walk upwards.
Skirk swallowed, watching intently as Lu Li climbed upwards, stepping on air.
He was extremely curious, "Is this guy human?! Or is it some kind of racial Talents?"
Is he an angel? No, he clearly doesn't have wings! He's just climbing by stepping on air... Just as Skirk was thinking about how Lu Li managed to ascend by stepping on air,
Whoosh—
Lu Li ran out of energy.
He fell directly from a height of two and a half meters.
Skirk flashed, appearing directly at Lu Li's landing spot and catching him.
Falling from a height of two and a half meters could easily cause injury.
This Sky-Treading Steps was still strenuous. After walking for only a short while, Lu Li felt his strength was gone.
Having exhausted his strength after using Sky-Treading Steps, Lu Li suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness, and just like usual, he fell asleep.
Skirk was already very curious about Lu Li. At five months old, he could talk and even walk on air.
He didn't know what else he would be able to do when he got a little older... "I hope you also have fighting Talents, that you can become a strong person in the future, capable of doing whatever you wish."
Seeing Lu Li fall asleep as before, Skirk covered him with a small blanket, letting him sleep peacefully.
He, on the other hand, continued his training!
And he also had a little more anticipation for the future.
Skirk looked forward to Lu Li showing more powerful Talents. This way, even if Skirk wasn't by Lu Li's side, with Lu Li's own strength, he would be able to protect himself from being bullied in the future.
After several months of getting along,
Skirk had long since grown accustomed to taking care of Lu Li, this little infant.
Skirk noticed that Lu Li seemed to be teething.
He pried open Lu Li's mouth.
Indeed.
A row of not-so-neat teeth appeared. Skirk looked at the rapidly developing Lu Li.
Skirk nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, with teeth, he can eat other things."
This way, he wouldn't have to find milk for Lu Li every day, but could prepare other delicious foods for him to eat.
When the time came, he would need to prepare more meat, which would be good for his body during training.
Skirk believed that Lu Li would have to live outside in the future.
He couldn't stay in the Abyss forever. Otherwise, he could also use Abyssal Power to reshape Lu Li's body. If he used Abyssal Power to shape his body from a young age, wouldn't he be even more powerful when he grew up?
Skirk's own limbs were reshaped using Abyssal Power, and their strength far exceeded that of a mortal body.
After placing Lu Li back in the spider silk hammock, Skirk continued his intense training!
His belief in becoming stronger grew even stronger.
Only by defeating Surtalogi could he gain freedom!
Otherwise... Surtalogi's prophecy of destroying his friends, family, and everything around him to plunge him into fear would constantly hover around him, preventing him from freely communicating with his friends.
Skirk's original plan was to travel across Teyvat after a while, find Surtalogi's method of becoming stronger, and make himself stronger too.
But... now that he had found Lu Li in this Abyss, this original plan would have to be postponed a bit.
It would also allow him to train for a longer period, and he would become even stronger after leaving.
Life like this was pretty good too.
Skirk, who was training, was very curious about Lu Li's fighting Talents.
Because during this time, Skirk had already witnessed many differences between Lu Li and ordinary children.
At five months old, he could talk and even walk on air. No matter how you looked at it, he was not an ordinary person.
Skirk looked at Lu Li and thought that perhaps... this child's future achievement would be even higher than his own!
Skirk himself was already very strong, and his Talents were even valued by the powerful Surtalogi, so he was not an ordinary person either.
This being the case... if Skirk himself, despite his best efforts, could not defeat Surtalogi and unfortunately perished,
Then he could pass on the mission of defeating Surtalogi to Lu Li. If Lu Li also unfortunately perished, then Lu Li could pass on the mission of defeating Surtalogi to Lu Li's disciple.
disciples upon disciples, endless, each generation stronger than the last. One day, that arrogant Surtalogi would be cut down.
