Cultivation Online

They have only been training for about half an hour, but Yuan was already at his limit, feeling even more exhausted than when he fought many experts continuously at the Ancient Dragon City.

Towards the end of their practice, Yuan was getting hit so often that Feng Yuxiang was practically landing every single hit on him, and even though Yuan made improvements to this movement technique, it was still not nearly enough to avoid Feng Yuxiang who was always a step ahead of him.

"Are you finished already, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him with a completely calm appearance and not a single drop of sweat on her body, looking like she just took a stroll in the park.

"Feng Feng, you’re stronger than I thought," Yuan said to her.

"Thank you for the compliment, Young Master. Even with my cultivation suppressed, my techniques are as sharp as ever," she said.

"We should have a serious spar in the future, Feng Feng. Even though training with you is fun, it’s not satisfying enough." Yuan said as he sat up after resting enough.

"Hehe... If you want to fight me, you should improve your movement technique even more, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang chuckled.

"Anyways, you have exceeded my expectations in terms of your progression with the movement technique. At this rate, you’ll probably be able to start using the movement technique in the air in a few months. By the way, it took me a few hundred years to reach that level and many thousand more to master it."

"I look forward to that day." Yuan nodded.

Feng Yuxiang then said, "I also noticed something else during our training. Young Master, you may be incredibly talented, learning everything at a rapid rate, but you still lack experience. Although your execution with the techniques is flawless, you’re still amateurish in terms of actual combat, and that is not something you can easily learn even with your talents."

"Furthermore, the Young Master is used to one-shotting all of his opponents, so you’re actually very weak in extended fights."

"What do you suggest, Feng Feng?" Yuan asked her, as he agreed with everything she’d just said.

"That’s simple. We can spar with each other, and you don’t have to worry about defeating me with a single hit, so you can somewhat go all out. Just don’t use your Dragon’s Gaze or that suppressing domain since that’s basically cheating." Feng Yuxiang said.

"Of course, that is not to say you shouldn’t use it during actual combat since it would be for the best if you finished the fight as soon as possible. However, for practice purposes, let’s not use it."

"Okay." Yuan nodded.

Yuan proceeded to spend the next hour recovering his energy.

Once he was prepared to move again, Yuan and Feng Yuxiang continued to practice with each other.

However, this time, Feng Yuxiang allowed Yuan to use his weapon, and Feng Yuxiang also retrieved a weapon of her own.

Feng Yuxiang waved around the red sword in her hand casually and asked him, "Are you ready, Young Master?"

"Yes."

The moment Yuan nodded his head, Feng Yuxiang approached him and began attacking him with the sword.

Yuan immediately used the Empyrean Overlord to block the attack, but Feng Yuxiang’s strike suddenly changed directions and avoided his sword, almost like she’d anticipated it.

Yuan was surprised and subconsciously used the movement technique to dodge her strike, barely avoiding it.

"Your reaction is quite admirable, but if you had more experience, you would’ve been able to block that attack without needing to avoid it with your body." Feng Yuxiang said as she sent the next attack.

Once again, right as her sword was about to touch Yuan’s blade, it seemingly disappeared from its location before appearing on the other side and flying straight at Yuan’s neck.

This time, Yuan managed to react properly and went to block it with the Empyrean Overlord.

However, Feng Yuxiang’s sword disappeared for a second time, and by the time Yuan realized this, it was already kissing his neck.

Yuan swallowed nervously when he realized that he would’ve died if Feng Yuxiang didn’t stop her attack at the last moment.

"Young Master, there are some things you cannot overcome with pure strength. Before an experienced cultivator, you may not be at an advantage even if you have a higher cultivation base." Feng Yuxiang said to him as she retrieved the sword from his neck.

Yuan was speechless.

This is the first time he’s felt so powerless before someone. Even though it was a spar and he wasn’t using his full strength, that was the same for Feng Yuxiang.

After giving Yuan some time to prepare himself again, Feng Yuxiang began attacking him again.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Feng Yuxiang didn’t use her disappearing sword strikes without stopping and would purposefully let Yuan block her attacks at times, but whenever she would see an opening, she would use that to her advantage and corner Yuan in a decisive moment.

In just ten minutes of practice, Feng Yuxiang had ’killed’ Yuan over a dozen times.

"Are you ready to give up yet, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him with a somewhat smug look on her beautiful face.

"N-Not yet! Let’s keep going!" Yuan wiped the sweat off his face and prepared himself again.

"That’s what I like to hear!"

Yuan was so absorbed in his training with Feng Yuxiang that he’d completely forgotten about Meixiu. However, Meixiu was also absorbed in her cultivation, and they both missed dinner without even realizing it until it was already morning the next day.

"Oh! I completely forgot to log off!" Yuan panicked when he realized this, as it hasn’t been long since his last mistake.

Thus, Yuan logged off on the spot.

However, when he realized that Meixiu also hadn’t logged off, he returned to the game and then to the Cultivators’ Haven with the others.
