Chapter 808 - Killing Two Birds With One Stone
"My progress with the Demon Sealing Strike has been great. I should be able to use it by the end of this week." Wang Ming said.
He then pointed in a certain direction and said, "Li Jinxi, on the other hand, has been using the technique since yesterday. It won't be long before she masters it."
Yuan used his divine sense to watch Li Jinxi, and sure enough, her sword would release demon sealing aura with every swing. However, the demon sealing aura is still very weak' too weak to actually seal any demons.
"Good luck with your training." Yuan said to Wang Ming before walking over to Li Jinxi.
"Can I help you a bit?" Yuan asked her.
Li Jinxi stopped swinging the sword and nodded.
Yuan walked beside her and gently grabbed her arms before adjusting their position.
Once her arms were in the correct position, Yuan moved to adjust her hips, then her legs, and lastly, her feet.
"Try swinging your sword now," he said to her.
Li Jinxi nodded and swung the large sword in her hand.
Whoosh!
A strong gust of wind appeared from the swing, and it felt much easier and comfortable for Li Jinxi.
"Thank you." She said to him afterward.
"When you practice the technique, you should try to feel and understand it. Someone told me that your technique should improve with every strike' even if it's slightly." Yuan said.
"I will keep that in mind."
Yuan walked to the others and also gave them advice.
Eventually, he reached Meixiu, who was practicing with her bow.
Whoosh!
Using her black bow that she acquired from the Six Spiritual Families, Meixiu was able to hit her target a thousand meters away, and the arrow even managed to hit the tiny red dot in the center.
Meixiu gracefully lowered her arms after releasing the arrow, and she turned to look at him, "Hey."
"Hey, that was quite impressive." Yuan said with a smile.
"I don't think I have any advice for you, nor am I qualified to lecture you."
"What do you think of my form?" Meixiu then asked.
"I think it was beautiful."
"What about the demon sealing aura? Is it strong enough to seal a demon?"
"Unfortunately, you would need to shoot the demon a hundred times if you want to seal it." Yuan said.
"I see'¦" Meixiu looked slightly disappointed by the results.
"Don't look so down. You're doing great for someone who just started learning demon sealing techniques." Yuan gave her some encouragement.
"Thank you." Meixiu said to him before returning to her training.
Yuan decided to let her train in peace and check on Chu Liuxiang next.
"Ha!"
As he got close to her, Chu Liuxiang shot her palm forward, sending a wave of demon sealing aura into the air.
"What do you think of my Demon Sealing Pulse?" Chu Liuxiang turned to look at him afterward.
"Your demon sealing aura is the strongest out of everyone at the moment. This means you have the deepest comprehension of your demon sealing technique. Good job."
"Thanks, but I still feel a little lacking with one demon sealing technique." She sighed.
"Don't worry, I will acquire more demon sealing techniques in a few days."
"Okay."
Sometime later, Yuan walked to an empty spot on the field and started his own training.
Everyone would train without rest until it was time for dinner.
Meixiu left an hour earlier than everyone else to prepare for dinner.
During dinner, they would talk about their progress with their techniques and things they did in Cultivation Online.
"What about you, Yuan?" Shi Lang suddenly asked him.
Yuan swallowed before responding with a bittersweet smile, "I died today."
*Clang*
Everybody there dropped their utensils when they heard his words, and they turned to look at him with wide eyes.
"E-Excuse me? Can you repeat that? I think I misheard you just now." Wang Ming stuttered in a voice of disbelief.
"I experienced death today. Don't worry, it wasn't real death, so it didn't affect me in the slightest' at least not physically." Yuan explained to them in more detail about his situation.
"I fought a very powerful demon in the Demon Sealing Pagoda, where demon sealers go to train in the Grand Library. If you die inside the pagoda, you won't actually die, and you will simply be teleported outside. I managed to reach the peak of Spirit Lord after passing three out of nine floors."
"Good lord, you're already almost a Spirit King? That's ridiculous'¦"
The others were simply speechless. While everyone else was still trying to climb Spirit Warrior, Yuan was already one level away from Spirit King. Will they ever close their distance?
"I-I'm going to train some more tonight after dinner'¦" Wang Bingbing muttered in a low voice.
"M-Me too." Shi Lang agreed.
Half of the room decided to continue their training after dinner within moments.
Sometime after dinner, Yuan returned to his room with Chu Liuxiang.
"Yuan' Darling, now that we've returned home, let's'¦ you know'¦ 'do it'." Chu Liuxiang said as she stared at him with an eager look on her pretty face.
"N-Now? You still have energy after training for an entire day?" Yuan said in a dumbfounded voice.
"No matter how exhausted I am, I will always have energy to embrace my love!" She chuckled.
Yuan showed a slight smile before nodding, "But let me clean myself first. My body is still sticky from training."
"Oka' Wait! We can do this inside the bathroom! We can clean ourselves and embrace each other at the same time! That would be killing two birds with one stone!" Chu Liuxiang suddenly suggested.
Yuan was truly speechless this time.
However, he didn't refuse and nodded in silence.
"Great!"
They removed their clothes and entered the bathroom together shortly after, spending much more time than usual inside.
"That was amazing, darling'¦" Chu Liuxiang said to him on the bed about three hours later.
"Good night, Lulu." Yuan said to her with a smile before he walked to the balcony.
"You're not going to sleep tonight?"
Yuan summoned the Empyrean Overlord before responding, "I'm going to practice a little more tonight. You don't need to wait for me. Get some rest."
He jumped onto the sword and flew away from their balcony.
