"Yes! I finally managed to learn it!" Yu Rou exclaimed in excitement after seeing the notification, feeling relieved that she did not have to waste any more time on it.

"How much time do I have left in this room?" Yu Rou turned to look at the timer beside the door.

"10 minutes left?!" Her eyes widened with surprise after seeing that it’d taken her nearly 10 hours to learn a single Mortal-rank technique.

"I really cannot compare to Brother Tian who can learn techniques as easy as breathing," she sighed loudly.

After storing the Wind Blade technique into her storage pouch, Yu Rou went outside to knock on Yuan’s door, but to her surprise, he was already outside and waiting for her.

"Brother... When did you come out? I didn’t make you wait too long, right?" she asked him.

"No, we just came out," he said with a smile.

"Anyway, how did it go? Were you able to learn the technique?"

"Un!" Yu Rou nodded with a bright smile. "I barely managed to learn it in those 10 hours!"

"Congratulations, Yu Rou," Yuan said.

"I am nothing compared to you, brother." Yu Rou shook her head.

"That’s not true," he said.

"You don’t need to try and comfort me, brother. I have known very well about the difference between our talents for years now— this is nothing new." Yu Rou said, and she continued, "Anyway, now that I have learned a new technique, I would like to use it, so let’s go hunting some monsters!"

Yuan nodded, "Okay, where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere that has low-level monsters, preferably ones around the first level to second level Spirit Apprentice," she said.

"There are plenty of beasts below the third level Spirit Apprentice a few miles from this city," Xiao Hua said.

"Great! Then let’s go!" Yu Rou said.

They proceeded to walk downstairs and returned the keys to the receptionist before leaving the building.

Once they were outside, Yuan retrieved his flying sword and jumped onto it with Yu Rou in his arms.

A few moments later, they soared towards the sky and flew for a few minutes until they were a couple of miles away from Nature City.

"There are a few first-level Spirit Apprentice beasts below us," Xiao Hua said to them.

"Oh! I want to fight them!" Yu Rou said.

Xiao Hua nodded, and they descended to the ground a moment later.

"Where is it?" Yu Rou asked after they landed.

"200 meters that way." Xiao Hua pointed south.

"Okay!"

Yu Rou proceeded to walk in that direction with wide strides, clearly impatient to try out her new skill.

"Slow down, Yu Rou. The monsters aren’t going anywhere," Yuan said to her with a smile after seeing her excitement.

A few moments later, Yu Rou could finally see the monster; it was a slightly oversized fox with orange fur and red eyes.

"That’s a Red-eyed Fox. They are nimble but weak. If you don’t hit it with your first strike, you won’t have a second chance because it will run away," Xiao Hua said in a low voice.

Yu Rou nodded and retrieved her Spirit Waver.

After taking a deep breath, she gathered her spiritual energy before waving her fan a moment later.

"Wind Blade!"

An arc of wind resembling long-distance sword attacks suddenly flew from the Spirit Waver and at the Red-eyed Fox.

However, because this is Yu Rou’s first time using the skill and the Spirit Waver, her aim was way off target, missing the Red-eyed fox by a long shot.

Bang!

The Wind Blade did a weird turn in the air before flying into a tree and destroying it with ease.

When the Red-eyed Fox saw this, it immediately turned around and ran away.

"Wow... No wonder why this skill cost so much despite being a Mortal-rank technique! It’s really powerful!" Yu Rou’s eyes flickered with excitement after seeing the skill’s destructive power.

"The strength is comparable to a technique at the Earth-rank technique," Xiao Hua said to her.

And she continued, "If it doesn’t hit the target, it won’t matter even if the technique is the strongest in the world, though."

"I know, but it’s actually very hard to control this skill." Yu Rou sighed.

"Unless you’re Brother Yuan, one would normally require many hours of training before they can use a newly learned technique properly."

"Even if I have to practice for hundreds of hours, I am going to perfect this skill that my brother bought me!" Yu Rou said with a resolute expression on her face.

Sometime later, they continued to hunt low-level monsters with Xiao Hua giving the directions and Yu Rou trying her best to hit her targets.

An hour and countless misses later, Yu Rou finally managed to hit her target with Wind Blade, brutally cutting the monster in half as it did to the tree before.

"Uwa... Isn’t this technique like... a little too powerful?" Yu Rou realized this after she witnessed how the monster nearly exploded into a bloody mess.

"Isn’t it a good thing that the technique’s powerful?" Yuan tilted his head, not understanding her worries.

"I mean, of course, but it’s a little too brutal for my taste." Yu Rou sighed. How can an elegant young lady like her use such a savage technique? It would definitely ruin her graceful image!

"Then do you want a new technique?" Yuan asked her.

"No, this is fine. It may be a brutal technique, but I don’t dislike it. I just need to get used to the scene of my opponents being torn apart by the skill." Yu Rou said.

"Anyway, let’s continue hunting monsters. The only way I can get better with this skill is by using it over and over again! Therefore— onto the next monster, Xiao Hua!" Yu Rou pointed in a random direction with her fan with a profound expression on her face.

"Okay..." Xiao Hua nodded.

And for the next few hours, until it was time for dinner, Yu Rou would hunt monsters continuously using her Wind Blade whilst Xiao Hua led her around the wilderness.

As for Yuan, he merely followed them in silence. However, it was not as though he was completely relaxed, as he still had to make sure that no harm would come to Yu Rou, so whenever they approach a monster, he would mentally prepare himself just in case he needed to step in and protect Yu Rou.

"Brother, I have hunted so many monsters, yet not one of them dropped a single monster core, why is that?" Yu Rou asked him at the end of their adventure.

"That’s because only monsters above seventh level Spirit Apprentice drop them," he responded. "Did I get that right, Xiao Hua?" he asked her just in case.

"That’s right," she nodded.

"Seventh level Spirit Apprentice, huh? That’s a long way..." Yu Rou sighed.

"Anyways, I am going to log off now to cook dinner, brother. You can play a little longer until dinner is ready if you like."

"No, it’s fine. There’s nothing I can do in this area in such a short time, anyways."

"Then I’ll see you on the other side," Yu Rou said to him before logging off.

"I’ll see you tomorrow, Xiao Hua."

"Un. Goodbye, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua said to him before disappearing into the necklace.

Yuan also logged off shortly later.

Once he was in the real world again and Yu Rou left to prepare dinner, Yuan began trying to cultivate again, hoping that he would have better results after his understanding of the cultivation technique had improved.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Ouch!"

Yuan tried to cultivate many times without any progress until Yu Rou returned with the food.

"Are you okay, brother? I heard you yelling in pain just now..." Yu Rou said to him in a worried voice.

"Hm? Oh, it’s nothing." Yuan said, not prepared to tell her about trying to cultivate in the real world just yet— at least not until he confirms that it actually works and he’s not just going crazy.

"If you feel any pain in your body, don’t hesitate to let me know, okay?" Yu Rou said to him afterward.

"Don’t worry, I won’t," Yuan said.

"Good. Anyway, I have some news. Doctor Wang will be coming later, and he said that he has some results regarding the black gunk that discharged from your body."

"Okay," Yuan said.

"Let’s fill your stomach before he arrives," Yu Rou said as she began feeding him chicken soup.

Sometime later, Doctor Wang arrived at their home, and Yu Rou greeted him with Yuan in the wheelchair.

"You have the results already, Doctor Wang? That was quicker than I’d anticipated," Yu Rou said to him.

"Well, I worked without stopping for nearly the entire day to get the results as soon as possible, and you won’t believe what I found from the examination," Doctor Wang said.

"What is it? Is it something we should be worried about?" Yu Rou asked him with a nervous expression.

"Actually, it should be the opposite! According to the results, the black gunks are actually impurities! Although I don’t know how it happened, it appears that the Young Master has managed to discharge the impurities within his body."

"Impurities...?" Yu Rou raised her eyebrows. What does that even mean?

"Sit down, Young Lady. This is going to take some time to explain," Doctor Wang said to her.

Yu Rou nodded, and she went to grab a chair before sitting down and waiting for Doctor Wang to continue.
