Chapter 785: Hovering In The Air
It did not matter if it was Meixiu, Chu Liuxiang, Qi Fang, or even the elders— none of them were able to endure Yuan's killing intent for more than 10 minutes continuously, or they would risk pissing their pants from fear.
The weaker disciples were even worse, giving up every two to three minutes before returning after a 15 minute break.
"How does he emit such strong killing intent? Do you think he's killed a lot of people before? After all, you can only acquire killing intent from killing things." The disciples mumbled to each other while they took a break.
"Honestly, I wouldn't be too surprised if that was the case. He's so damn powerful, who can stop him?"
"He can probably kill everyone on this island and get away with it…"
"I don't think he's a killer. He just doesn't give me that feeling. As for his killing intent, it could be acquired from Cultivation Online for all we know."
"If you have the time to talk, you have time to go back to training!"
"Y-Yes, Elder!"
And for pretty much the entire day, Yuan would remain seated at the center of these disciples, keeping his killing intent going.
Every hour, he would increase the killing intent slightly, so the disciples would never feel 'comfortable' with his killing intent, allowing them to improve at a steady and quick rate.
"I know I told you not to go easy on us, but heavens… I've never had such intensive training before…" Chu Liuxiang sighed out loud after the training ended, feeling sticky all over her body because of her sweat.
"Are you okay, Meixiu?" Yuan noticed that she was a little pale after the training.
"Yes, I am fine." She nodded in a dazed manner.
Yuan frowned and said, "You shouldn't push yourself so hard. You could hurt yourself."
"Don't worry, I will be fine after some rest." She smiled.
Even if Meixiu is a lot stronger than most people due to the treasure she consumed, not to mention her cultivation technique that trains the soul, she is still only a Spirit Warrior.
Yuan could tell that Meixiu was pushing herself to get stronger, most likely because she felt that she was too behind when compared to Chu Liuxiang and the others, but he wasn't sure how to convince her to slow down.
Sometime later, everyone returned to their room to rest.
They were so exhausted that most of them were knocked out before they could even change out of their clothes.
In fact, the entire island appeared to be deserted for the rest of the day, and the only ones walking around were the servants that did not participate in Yuan's training.
As for Yuan, even though it was also exhausting for him to keep releasing his killing intent, he would fully recover within an hour.
Once he fully recovered his energy, Yuan sat on his bed and began trying to use Qi Manifestation.
After consuming the demon core, his cultivation had a huge breakthrough, surpassing Spirit Master and soaring all the way to the 5th level of Spirit Grandmaster.
Now that he was a Spirit Grandmaster, he wondered if he could learn Qi Manifestation and start flying in the sky like he does in Cultivation Online.
However, just like everything else, it was much more difficult to learn techniques in the real world than in Cultivation Online.
'I can release my spiritual energy outside my body, but I am having a hard time controlling it. This doesn't make any sense. How come I can learn everything with ease in Cultivation Online, yet everything feels more difficult in this world?'
'Does Cultivation Online somehow increase our comprehension level? It would make sense why things feel easier over there.`
After practicing his Qi Manifestation for pretty much the entire night, Yuan finally gained the ability to control his Qi Manifestation.
However, he does not seem to be able to fly just yet.
'I may not be able to fly without support, but what if I use a flying sword?'
Yuan summoned his Empyrean Overlord and proceeded to make it hover using Qi Manifestation.
Once he was comfortable with controlling the sword, he jumped onto the sword.
"Hahaha! It's working! I am hovering in the air!" Yuan laughed out loud as he hovered in the middle of the room while standing on his sword.
He immediately began working on his balance in the air, and once he was comfortable with that, he started controlling the sword to make it fly around the room.
This training made Yuan recall when he first learned how to balance on a flying sword after being taught by Xiao Hua.
After recalling Xiao Hua, Yuan suddenly had a realization.
'Wait a minute… If I can summon my Soul Weapons in this world, perhaps I can somehow summon Xiao Hua and the others into this world as well?'
The thought of summoning Xiao Hua and the others to this world was so outrageous that it never even appeared inside Yuan's mind, but now that he thought about it, he really wanted to see it happen.
Yuan quickly stopped his training and took a deep breath.
Once he cleared his mind, he tried to call for Xiao Hua and the others like he normally would in Cultivation Online.
'Xiao Hua? Can you hear me? Feng Feng? Yingying? If you can hear me, come out.'
Yuan tried calling them for five minutes straight, but he did not get any response from them.
"Fortunately, I kept my expectations down… But this begs the question— How come I can summon my Soul Weapons but not my servants? Is it because they are tools and not living beings? Or maybe Xiao Hua and the others are too far away to hear my summoning?"
He began pondering for a solution, but in the end, he returned to practicing flying around on his flying sword.
'Guess I will have to ask them about it when I return home.'
