Cultivation Online-Novel

Chapter 470 - Contest

Once everyone beside Xiao Hua left, Yuan returned to the waiting room and proceeded to continue studying the Ancient-rank fist technique.

Even though he clearly showed great compatibility with the technique, Yuan was unable to learn this technique as easily as he learned the other techniques.​​

’As expected of an Ancient-rank technique. I cannot learn it as quickly as I learned the other techniques.’ Yuan thought to himself.

’Now that I think about it, the Dragon’s Gaze is also an Ancient-rank technique, and it took me a couple of weeks to learn that technique. Although only a week had passed in real-time, I had experienced many weeks while I was studying the technique inside my head, so I should still count it as such.’

If he uses the Dragon’s Gaze as an example, he will probably need at least a few weeks to learn the fist technique.

Though, this didn’t discourage Yuan. In fact, it only made him study the technique even more seriously.

Time passed extremely quickly while Yuan was absorbed in studying the technique, and before he was aware, the ladies returned to his side with new techniques in their grasp.

"We’re back, brother." Yu Rou said to him.

Yuan opened his eyes and looked at them.

Both Meixiu and Xia Jingyi were holding a single scroll while Yu Rou had two scrolls.

Yuan looked around for Lan Yingying.

"Brother? Who are you looking for?" Yu Rou asked him.

"Yingying. She’s still looking for a technique," he said.

"Yingying? Who?" Yu Rou raised her eyebrows.

"Uhhh... I forgot to introduce her to you, but her name is Lan Yingying, and she’s like Xiao Hua and Feng Feng." Yuan gave her a brief explanation.

"Like Xiao Hua and Feng Feng?" Yu Rou pondered.

’Oh, I completely forgot... Brother Tian had acquired an Ancient-grade servant during the Mystic Realm... I wonder what she looks like...’ Yu Rou recalled the announcement that shook the internet for an entire week.

About an hour later, a white-haired beauty entered the waiting room, instantly catching Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi’s attention.

"I apologize for making you wait so long, my Lord." Lan Yingying said to him after she returned.

"My lord?" Yu Rou raised her eyebrows.

Lan Yingying bowed to Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi and said, "Hello. My name is Lan Yingying, and I am the Lord’s servant."

’Servant? Is she roleplaying?’ Xia Jingyi wondered inwardly, as she wasn’t aware of Lan Yingying’s true identity as a Divine Beast.

"Hello... I am Yu Rou, and I am Yu Tian’s younger sister." Yu Rou introduced herself.

"Xia Jingyi, and I am Yu Rou’s classmate." Xia Jingyi said.

"By the way, Yingying is an NPC," Yuan said to Xia Jingyi.

"Eh? Oh... Then she probably doesn’t know about classmates... Well, we’re something like fellow disciples of the same sect." Xia Jingyi explained herself afterward.

After their introduction, Yuan took them back to the young man at the reception diest.

"Six Heaven-rank techniques, huh? What about the ones you found previously? Do you still want them?" The young man asked them.

"No, we’ll just take the new techniques." Yu Rou shook her head. New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ

"I understand. I will place them back for you later."

"Sorry for the trouble," Yuan said.

"Don’t mention it. I am merely doing my job."

The young man proceeded to log in the techniques they took, and after a couple of minutes, he handed the scrolls back to Yu Rou and the others.

"Alright. You’re all set. Senior, you have 4 more free techniques for the rest of the year. It will reset at the beginning of next year."

"I understand. Thank you." Yuan nodded.

"See you next time, Seniors." The young man bowed to them as they left the place.

"Wow, it’s already this late? I would like to study the new techniques, but we can do that later." Yu Rou said when she realized that it was already late at night.

"Goodnight."

After saying their goodbyes, they logged off the game.

"What kind of technique did you get, Meixiu?" Yuan asked her during dinner.

"Oh, it’s a movement technique," she said.

"Eh? A movement technique? You only got one technique, right? What about a martial technique? Although having a movement technique is great, you cannot win a fight just by dodging." Yuan said.

"I think I will be fine for a while even without any martial techniques. I have plenty of hand-to-hand combat experience, so I should be fine even without a martial technique," she said in a confident voice.

"I mean, you should be fine without any martial techniques for now since you’re still only a Spirit Apprentice in the game, but once you reach a higher cultivation, martial techniques are essential since everyone will have one, and you cannot fight martial technique with b.a.r.e hands."

"Yes, I plan on learning a martial technique in the future, but for now, I am satisfied with just a movement technique," she said.

After dinner, Meixiu went to cultivate while Yuan practiced his Divine Sense.

The following morning, before they could even enter Cultivation Online, Yu Rou called Meixiu’s phone.

"Morning, Meixiu."

"Good morning, Yu Rou. What’s the matter?"

"Apparently there’s a small contest in a nearby city. It’s mostly for cultivators between the first level and the third level of Spirit Warrior. Do you want to participate in it? The winner even gets an Earth-rank cultivation technique."

"I don’t really care. Do you intend on participating in it?" Meixiu said.

"Yes."

"Even though you just got two Heaven-rank techniques?"

"Hehe... You can never have too many techniques! If the Earth-rank technique isn’t any good, I can simply sell it to other players for some money, and then I will give that money to Brother Tian so that I could feel less guilty about taking two Heaven-rank techniques for free." Yu Rou said.

"Also, it will be a good experience for us. Although I have fought plenty of magical beasts, I am still inexperienced with fighting other people."

"Okay. I will tell Yuan. Let’s continue this talk inside the game." Meixiu said.

"Alright. See you two in a bit." Yu Rou then hung up.
