Chapter 5 – Training

Chapter 5 – Training

Due to the Fire Affinity benefit given by the talent bead, Leyvi found out that it was way easier to convert the spiritual energy in his dantian into fire elemental qi compared to before.

As an attributeless, Leyvi had tried to convert his spiritual energy from his dantian to another elemental type, however, the conversion process was very slow, and it was quite impractical to implement this in battle.

Leyvi felt good. The elemental conversion of the spiritual energy was very smooth now, and he could use it in battle. After making sure that there was no problem, Leyvi started to practice the first level of the Fiery Trailblazer martial skill.

In the first level of the Fiery Trailblazer, Leyvi had to apply enough qi around his legs for protection. After he managed to maintain this state for a while, Leyvi needed to ignite his leg on fire through the correct meridians described in the martial skill.

When the user had managed to maintain the fiery legs without destroying the protective qi around the legs for about an hour, the user would have completed the initial success of the first level of Fiery Trailblazer martial skill.

A day later.

"Haha, finally managed to reach the initial success of the first level!" After training for a day, Leyvi succeeded in maintaining the fiery legs for an hour. 

Every time his protective qi broke, the fiery legs would cause a small explosion, and he would be in pain every time. Leyvi didn't want to experience that again. His black pants now had turned into a black short due to the explosions.

For the next step, the user needed to be able to run and jump consistently for an hour without destroying the protective qi around the legs. 

Leyvi had a headache for this step. He knew he was going to be in a lot more pain. This step sounded easy, but only he knew how hard it was to maintain it while stationary, not to mention running and jumping around.

Leyvi calmed down, gritted his teeth, and without complaining, he went back to his training.

3 days later.

In these three days, there were the sounds of someone screaming in pain frequently. It was very frequent at first, but it became less and less frequent as time went on.

After experiencing agony for 3 days, Leyvi finally reached the intermediate success of the first level of the Fiery Trailblazer martial skill.

Leyvi was now able to run and jump with his fiery legs freely without any problem now. Not only that, even the small explosions did not cause Leyvi much pain anymore. It seemed that his legs had become more and more resistant to fire and impact.

Leyvi figured this was probably the true purpose of this training, to strengthen the legs as much as possible. Otherwise, the user can just wear some high-grade pants made by an array experts and not feel any pain at all.

After Leyvi went back to the house to recover and eat, he went back to his backyard to resume his training. 

Although there were a lot of noises during this training, other cultivators in the sect didn't really hear any of it due to how big the sect was. The houses for each of the cultivators were far apart from each other.

The Mountain Dew sect was just a small sect at the southern tip of the Cloud Continent. The Mountain Dew sect was very large, but the downside was it did not have that many resources for cultivation here. The sect only has a single spirit stone mine in ownership.

However, none of that matters to Leyvi, he likes here very much and so does Anda. Leyvi and Anda disliked the crowded place because it reminded them of the orphanage days before they started cultivation. It was crowded, poor, and dirty.

Realizing that his mind had wandered off, Leyvi shook his head and started to focus again.

The last part of the first level of the Fiery Trailblazer martial skill required the user to jump high into the air, gain a lot of momentum while descending, and lastly deliver a powerful kick to a targeted part of the opponent.

Another 3 days passed very quickly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

During these 3 days, booming sounds could be heard very frequently coming from Leyvi's residence. In his backyards, there were a lot of dark craters made, a lot of rocks destroyed, and there were also some fallen burnt trees and lines of smoke coming from them.

Leyvi was panting hard while looking at his messed-up backyard. Contrary to the unpleasant scenery in front of him, Leyvi felt very happy because he finally reached complete mastery of the first level of the Fiery Trailblazer martial skill!

"I'm finally done! I can go visit my panda wife, now. I'm so tired!" Leyvi completed the first level of Fiery Trailblazer martial skill in a week. He was not sure if this speed was fast or slow. He did not have any reference to compare, so he just assumed it was average, like usual.

After resting, Leyvi cleaned himself and changed to a new outfit. Since he completed the first level of Fiery Trailblazer martial skill, he was not worried about destroying his pants anymore, because it won't happen.

Leyvi decided to visit Anda right now to check on her refining progress.

"I want my toy!" Leyvi said the cursed words using his usual voice. He didn't care. Nobody was here anyway. The menu pops up right away.

[Talent Bead |Level 2| EXP 6/500]

[Talent list: Sturdy, Chess, Fragrant]

[Recipient: Anda | Alchemy | 90/100]

[Recipient: Stripey | Steal and Stealth | 40/100]

[Host benefit: Fire Affinity, Tree Climbing Expert]

"Oh? It reached level 2!" Leyvi was surprised to see the talent bead had already reached level two. He thought it would need more time.

"40 points? That small monkey suddenly liked me more. How?" Leyvi thought about the reason carefully. He assumed that the small monkey probably realized that it had new talents now, and it was because of Leyvi.

"Stripey is quite smart. As expected of the monkey I choose!" Leyvi felt proud for no reason.

Now he wondered how many people already become victims to Stripey. Leyvi started to sweat. "I hope Stripey didn't steal from any elders or inner disciples, or I'm dead if they found out." 

Looking at the menu, Leyvi realized he would never be able to know how the points were given, since it would just total them together. How many points were from Anda? How many points were from Stripey? He would never know.

Leyvi then looked at the new talents. He was not impressed. None of the two were useful for cultivation.

"Looks like I need to wait for new talents to come." Leyvi decided to give the fragrant talent to Anda. Although it would not help with cultivation, it can still make his wife happy. That's good enough. Which girl doesn't want to always smell nice?

"Log in!" Leyvi suddenly felt like going into the illuminated space again.

In the illuminated space, Leyvi looked around and noticed it was still the same. Nothing changed. "What is actually this place?" He wondered.

"Log out!" He was back to reality and the menu was gone too. Looks like he can somewhat bypass the stupid words by logging in and out. However, this didn't really help much. It was just more work for him.

Leyvi walked out of his house and immediately headed to Anda's house.

"Recently, there's an unidentified thief in the sect. There were a lot of spirit stones and alchemy products missing in the outer sect area."

"Right! I lost all my spirit stones too! Argh! I'm so angry. If I replace out who the thief is, I'm going to castrate him!"

"What if it was a woman?"

"If she's a beauty, I can forgive her."

"What? That's not fair! You are going to die under the feet of a succubus sooner or later."

Along the way, Leyvi suddenly heard a conversation between two outer sect disciples. He acted like it had nothing to do with him. Leyvi gave a thumbs up to Stripey in his mind. Steal more so he can get more points faster and most importantly, don't get caught.

Soon, Leyvi arrived at Anda's house and knocked on her door.

"Leyvi!" As soon as Anda opened the door, she shouted his name and immediately hugged him.

"Where have you been? It's been a week!" Anda questioned Leyvi while bringing him into the house.

"I was practicing my new martial skill," Leyvi replied. Anda had some questions but didn't ask them.

"Leyvi, my alchemy skill has increased by a lot! I can refine high-grade qi refining pills now!" Anda was jumping excitedly while holding Leyvi's arm.

"What!?" Leyvi was shocked. He thought that she would be able to refine middle-grade qi refining pills at most for now. He didn't expect her talent to rise so much. 

Anda immediately brings out 3 bottles of qi refining pills. One bottle was for low-grade qi refining pills, another bottle was for middle-grade qi refining pills, and the last bottle was for the high-grade qi refining pills.

Leyvi held the high-grade qi refining pill bottle in his hand and confirmed it. "These are really high-grade pills".

Leyvi put aside the bottle and then lifted Anda in the air and spun around happily.

"Congratulations to Alchemist Student Anda! We have a genius in our family!" Leyvi and Anda were laughing together in the house.

"To celebrate this occasion, let's go to the bed and become a real husband and wife!" Leyvi carried Anda walked to the bed. Anda only blushed and did not reject, as if waiting for this moment.

Some weird noises can be heard all through the night.
