After a couple of deaths, Ning asked Sorlus to not kill the two immediately again. He wanted them to at least fight back to see just how strong they would be against a dragon like him.
Sorlus agreed and let the two siblings attack him.
Hi-Ah did not find it hard to attack Sorlus at all. Whether it was because of his current size, or the absolute disparity he had shown them that led to them being in such despair, she wanted to hurt him too.
Her fingers suddenly crackled with lightning as a massive bolt of electricity flew towards Sorlus in the blink of an eye. It struck his thick hide, but the dragon scales were too strong for Sorlus to feel any pain at all.
Sorlus let out a weak attack that was barely strong enough to hurt the two siblings but not enough to kill them.
Jung-Hee jumped forward and moved his arms in a circle as he suddenly created a barrier in front of him.
Ning saw a magic circle flash right before the barrier was created, but no one else seemed to care much about that.
After all, it was quite an ordinary visual for them all as most spells did create a momentary magic circle.
If one could draw that circle, they could use that exact same spell despite not having the talent towards that category of the spell.

Once he was out, Ning made his way over to the vacant underground of his house where he was going to draw some teleportation circles.
Ning got himself a bucket of paint and a brush and started drawing.
He made two teleportation circles, each of which was about 3 meters in diameter. It could easily hold up to 8 people to teleport at once, and that was enough for everyone in his household to teleport over.
It took him about an hour to properly finish making it all and by the time he was done, it was midnight already.
Ely walked out of the room she was in and walked up to Ning. "You're done?" she asked.
"Yes, I made both," Ning said.
"Which is which?" Ely asked as she was unable to tell exactly which formation she was to use.
"Oh, the left one is for your brother's house, and the right one is for Uncle's house," Ning said. "You want to go there right now?"
Ely nodded. "It's 4 pm there, so I want to bring him here for the night to help him train there. Maybe even help him become a cultivator, we still have the leftover curry after all," she said.
"Sure," Ning said. "Step on, I will send you there."
Ely nodded and walked onto the paint that had dried already. She stepped inside and Ning poured his Qi onto the circle.
The magic circle lit up and she vanished.
Ning spread his divine sense that easily reached France within a couple of seconds. "You got there easily?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm inside the closet," Ely said as she unlatched the door and walked out. "It seems he's in his guild right now. I'll wait around a bit, see you later."
"Alright, have fun," Ning said and went back to the room where they were all inside their virtual world. He went inside the world and watched them continue their fight.
Neither of the brother or sisters realize just how many times they had died, but little by little they were learning to move even in the face of death. When Sorlus attacked this time around, they were at least able to move a bit far away, even if they were eventually killed in the end.
When the two of them came back, they were able to stand up immediately even while their body shivered in fear of their own death.
Ning arrived in front of them and helped them up. "Sorlus, you can rest now. You don't have to fight anymore," he said.
"Okay, master," Sorlus spoke in his gruff voice. Ning taught him how to leave this world and he went out. Now, only three of them were remaining in this current world.

The two of them looked at each other and back at Ning. "Aren't you supposed to be stronger than Sorlus, brother?" Jung-Hee asked. "I feel like we will just die."
"Do I look like someone who is capable of killing my own junior cousins?" Ning asked as he shook his head. "You two must think I'm a monster."
The two didn't know what else to say. He had just ordered his dragon to kill them a dozen or more times after all.
"Stop dilly-dallying and come fight me. I want to see how much more improvement you two need," Ning said.
The two didn't hesitate any more and came to fight Ning. Lightning attacks struck Ning while barriers covered them.
Ning looked at their fighting styles and learned from them. He moved through their attacks, taking absolutely no damage as he appeared beside them.
He punched through the barrier, leaving Jung-Hee stunned. At the same time, he grabbed Hi-Ah by the throat and choked her for a few seconds before dropping her to the floor.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Ning clicked his tongue. "You two need to be able to react faster than this. I was so slow too."
"Jung-Hee, is making barriers all you can do?" Ning asked. "What about fighting back? I broke your barrier, but you weren't able to do anything at all."
"And you, Hi-Ah. You need to have something defensive of your own as well. You can't rely on your brother's barrier alone. Learn some defensive spells too," he said.
The two nodded in a daze.
Ning shook his head. "Start all over again. I will have to teach you quite a lot it seems."
