Chapter 575
Hmm… Are these techniques too lackluster or am I simply too spoiled by the techniques in Cultivation Online?’
Despite looking through all of the techniques, Yuan didn’t find any interest in them.
“Have you found a suitable technique, Daoist Yuan?” The guard asked him when Yuan returned to him.
“No,” he shook his head.
“Is there something wrong with the techniques?” The guard raised his eyebrows.
“Not really. I am just not interested in them.”
“That’s unfortunate. I guess they are too weak compared to Daoist Yuan’s techniques. If you ever change your mind, you can come back here at any time.”
“Thank you.”
After spending about half an hour inside the pagoda, Yuan left the place empty-handed.
“You’re out already? That was quicker than I’d anticipated.” Chu Liuxiang said when he returned.
“Hm? Where’s your cultivation technique?” Meixiu asked him.
“I didn’t pick a technique, mostly because I already have more powerful techniques,” he said.
“That makes sense… I doubt you’ll be able to find a cultivation technique more powerful than Divine-rank in this world.”
Yuan shook his head and said, “I don’t think the ranks are an issue, since Flying Dagger is only a Mortal-rank technique. I guess I just don’t have any need for them, and there’s no point in me learning them if I am not going to use them.”
“What are we going to do now?” Meixiu then asked.
“Let’s just go home for today. I have an appointment with Li Jinxi tomorrow,” he said.
“That barbaric girl? Just don’t overdo it, Brother Yuan. You were a little bit scary the last time you fought her.” Chu Liuxiang said.
“Scary? How so?” Yuan asked.
“Well, you felt like an entirely different person. I was really worried that something might have happened to you.”
“I’m sorry for making you worried, but that probably won’t happen again.”
The next day, they made their way to the Wang Family’s living quarters.
“Welcome, Yuan!” Wang Ming went to greet them when he heard that they have arrived.
“Hey, Wang Ming. It feels weird to see you anywhere besides the training building.” Yuan said.
“Hahaha… I only go there for you. If you’re not there, I have no reason to be there. I mostly spend my time practicing by myself at home,” he said.
“Anyways, you wanted to watch my rematch against Li Jinxi, right? I am about to head to the Li Family. You still coming?” Yuan then asked him.
“Of course! Give me a moment. I am going to see if my elder sister would also like to come,” he nodded.
Wang Ming then ran off for a few minutes before returning with his elder sister, Wang Bingbing.
“Let me introduce you. This is Wang Bingbing, my elder sister.”
“Hello. It’s a pleasure to finally speak with you, Senior Yuan.” Wang Bingbing bowed to him in a formal manner.
“You can just call me Yuan,” he said.
Once they were prepared, they all made their way to the Li Family.
And to their surprise, Li Jinxi was already standing at the gate and waiting for them.
“Took you long enough! I thought you had forgotten about our rematch!” Li Jinxi said to them with a slight frown on her face.
“Li Jinxi, it’s still early in the morning, or did you expect us to show up at sunrise?” Wang Ming shook his head.
“Well, I have been standing here since sunrise!” She said, dumbfounding them.
“You’re too eager to fight Yuan again, acting like a child the day before the amusement park.” Wang Ming chuckled, as he has never seen Li Jinxi acting in such a manner before.
“I dare you to repeat that.” Li Jinxi stared at him with an angry look on her face.
Wang Ming immediately regretted making fun of Li Jinxi and took a step back before speaking with a stiff smile on his face, “I-I was only joking, Senior Sister. Please ignore me.”
“Hmph!”
Li Jinxi coldly snorted before turning to look at Yuan.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes. Where are we going to fight?”
“Follow me.” Li Jinxi proceeded to lead them to a spacious area a few miles behind her living quarters.
“This place… What happened here?” Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw the destructive scene there.
There were crushed boulders and craters on the ground everywhere, looking like multiple natural disasters had occurred in this place.
“This is my training area, so we don’t have to worry about making a mess,” she said in a calm voice.
Yuan and the others swallowed nervously as they tried to imagine how Li Jinxi trained to make such a mess.
“Oh. You’re finally here. Welcome.” A voice suddenly resounded from behind them.
They turned around to see Senior Li approaching them.
“I will be present to oversee the rematch just in case the fight gets out of control,” he said.
“Sorry for bothering you,” Yuan said.
“Hahaha… This is no bother at all.” Senior Li casually waved his hand at all.
Sometime later, Li Jinxi handed Yuan a greatsword while wielding one herself.
“Before you start, let’s make a few rules. Li Jinxi, you are not allowed to use your berserk technique. As for Daoist Yuan…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t use that golden aura. Although I cannot control it, I will immediately stop fighting when it happens,” he said.
“Alright.” Senior Li nodded.
Once they were prepared, Yuan and Li Jinxi began their rematch, and the place quickly became filled with loud noises from their swords colliding with each other.
“Hahaha! This is it! I haven’t had a wink of sleep ever since our fight, Yuan!” Li Jinxi laughed as she swung with all of her might.
Bang!
The air shook as Yuan blocked the attack head-on.
“I have also been looking forward to this rematch. Let’s do our best!”
Clang! Bang! Clang!
“Heavens… Is it just me or are they even fiercer than they were during the competition?” Wang Ming asked the others in a low voice.
“Now that they are aware of each others’ strength, there is no longer any reason for them to hold back against each other…” Senior Li responded with a smile on his face as he looked at the joyous expression on Li Jinxi’s face as she fought Yuan.
