Chapter 131 - Practice Area "Practice field, huh. I do want to try out the Flying Daggers as soon as possible," Yuan nodded after Min Li’s suggestion. He then closed his eyes to recall the map inside his head to locate the training field. After standing there for a few moments and locating the exact place, Yuan left the Profound Pavilion. Of course, Min Li also left the Profound Pavilion and followed Yuan shortly after like some kind of stalker. Sometime later, they arrived at the practice fields, a vast and spacious area that spanned for miles and was separated into four different parts. One part of the area had these large and long walls that appeared to be made out of steel placed all over the area whilst a few disciples could be seen punching these steel walls. In the second area, there were over a hundred human-shaped puppets made out of wood, and these puppets apparently could move on their own and defend themselves against the disciples’ attack. However, these puppets didn’t appear to have the capability to attack the disciple. Meanwhile, in the third area, there were also puppets, and unlike the second area, these puppets attacked the disciples— aggressively at that. As for the fourth area, there were a dozen mid-sized arenas and there were currently a few disciples sparring with each other on them. There was actually a fifth area— the area in the middle, but it was completely empty with the exception of some disciples sitting on the floor with their eyes closed, seemingly cultivating. Yuan immediately assumed this place to be a resting area for the disciples, as no sane Cultivator would truly do their cultivation out in the open and surrounded by so many people and noises. "What are those walls over there? And why are they punching it repeatedly?" Yuan mumbled in a curious voice after seeing their unusual activities. "That’s the Wall of Absorption; it’s said to be indestructible against physical attacks and have regeneration properties. They are very popular for those who wish to test out the full extent of their strength." Min Li suddenly responded to him from behind, startling him a bit. "What about those puppets? Are they also indestructible?" Yuan asked her afterward. "No, they’re not, but they’re extremely hard to break if you’re not a Spirit Warrior," she said. "If I... If I accidentally break one, how much do I have to reimburse the sect?" Yuan asked in a slightly nervous tone. Min Li looked at him with her beautiful eyebrows raised, and she said, "Even I cannot break one at my full strength yet you think you can break one at whilst being two levels under me?" "Well... You can’t always be too careful. After all, they look expensive..." Min Li was speechless. Despite his seemingly profound background, Yuan did not act like someone that belongs to a powerful family. There was a clear hint of naivety and innocence around him, but there was also something charming about him that kept her interest piqued. "You won’t have to pay for any damages done to the puppets so you don’t have to worry about breaking them," Min Li said a moment later. "I see. Thank you," Yuan said to her before he retrieved the Flying Daggers technique and began reading through it. Min Li raised her eyebrows yet again after seeing this. "What are you doing now?" She asked him. "I’m learning the technique," Yuan responded in a calm voice. "What?" Min Li’s eyes widened, and she pointed at the area in the center of the practice area and said, "Why don’t you do it over there? There’s a formation the cancels out unwanted noise so you’ll have absolute peace and silence while inside—" However, before Min Li could even finish her sentence, Yuan closed the technique and tossed it back into his Spatial Ring with a calm expression on his face. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦 «You have learned Flying Daggers» [Flying Daggers] [Rank: Mortal] [Mastery Level: 1] [Description: Control your daggers with spiritual energy and send them flying through the battlefield, slaying your enemies from a distance! Qi consumption will vary depending on how many Daggers you control at once and its speed.] Min Li would’ve never thought that Yuan could have learned the technique in such a short time so she assumed that he was only putting away the technique so he could listen to her advice and go to the resting area. However, when Min Li noticed that Yuan was walking towards the second area where the defensive puppets were instead, she frowned with a puzzled look on her beautiful face. ’What the... Where is he going?’ Min Li wondered to herself as she watched Yuan stand before a puppet. A few moments later, she watched as Yuan retrieved a very beautiful black dagger that did not have any unique aura to it. ’What a beautiful weapon... but I don’t sense anything special coming from it— is it just an ordinary weapon with good looks?’ Min Li thought to herself. ’Hmm? Why is he bringing out a weapon now when he still hasn’t learned the technique? What’s he trying to do?’ Meanwhile, Yuan placed the Starry Abyss flat on his palms, and he activated Flying Daggers. The Starry Abyss began trembling the next second, and after a few more seconds, it began levitating in the air with a subtle red glow around the dagger. "WHAT?!" When Min Li saw the dagger flying above Yuan, she uncontrollably shouted in a shocked voice, quickly attracting the attention of everyone there. "Isn’t that Fairy Min? What’s she doing here? And did that loud voice come from her just now?" "I think it was somebody else. After all, why would Fairy Min suddenly shout?" "What do you think she’s watching? Do you think she might be watching us train?" "That might be the case! Let’s try not to embarrass ourselves now!" The disciples in the practice area began training with even more intensity because they wanted to impress Fairy Min, but alas, little did they know that she was not paying attention to them whatsoever, and her gaze was locked onto Yuan’s figure.
