Chapter 452 - Peak Of Spirit Warrior

"I think the only thing we can do is prepare ourselves for it. Though I don't think it'll be that bad due to the rarity of treasures. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows…" Yuan sighed.

"If the chances of acquiring its effects are really low, it might not be that bad. And according to my research, the majority of the playerbase are only just starting to obtain Earth-grade treasures with Heaven-grade treasures and above still unattainable besides those really wealthy and powerful players who just buy them using real money." Meixiu said.

"There's no use thinking about it now. Let's just focus on cultivation so when the world learns about this and evolves once again, we'll be prepared for it." Yuan said.

"Yes, I agree." Meixiu nodded.

Sometime later, they started their cultivation.

The following day, Wang Xiuying returned to their apartment.

"What's up, Yuan? Did you need to speak with me? Does it have anything to do with your condition?" she asked him.

"No, this is about our experiment. We have some results." Yuan said to her.

"What! Really?!" Wang Xiuying instantly became excited.

"Yes." Yuan proceeded to explain to Wang Xiuying everything that had occurred yesterday.

Wang Xiuying silently stared at Meixiu after hearing everything.

"Y-You can lift a car with your bare hands?" Wang Xiuying asked her in a somewhat doubtful voice.

"Yes. I know it sounds crazy, but…" Meixiu nodded.

"It's alright. I believe you. I was just expressing my disbelief that it actually worked." Wang Xiuying said.

"You said that it was a Heaven-grade treasure that you'd consumed, right? I also consumed a Heaven-grade treasure, but nothing happened to me, so I guess there's only a chance of obtaining the effects."

"What are you going to do now, Yuan?" Wang Xiuying then asked him.

"What do you want me to do?" He asked her in return.

"I… I don't know… But I know what I am going to do." Wang Xiuying chuckled.

"I am going to consume all of the treasures I can! Hopefully, I will eventually get lucky and strengthen my real body through the treasures in Cultivation Online."

Wang Xiuying announced her plans.

"Actually, you should also do the same, Yuan. Maybe there's a treasure in Cultivation Online that will be able to fix your eyesight and heal your body!"

Hearing this, Meixiu also said, "Now that you mention it, there are countless miraculous treasures in Cultivation Online with profound effects one cannot even imagine! I'm sure there are treasures out there that can help you!"

"I think so, too. However, we should still focus on cultivating our real bodies first. I am going to enter the ninth level first before trying to breakthrough to Spirit Master. Once I do that, I will focus on Cultivation Online." Yuan said.

"Good luck, Yuan. I am going to see if there's anything I can do to help in the Spirit Heavens. Maybe my Master will know something about your condition. I'll ask her." Wang Xiuying said.

"Okay. Thank you."

Wang Xiuying left shortly after while Yuan and Meixiu returned to their cultivation.

For the next couple of days, Yuan would spend most of his time cultivating towards the ninth level Spirit Warrior while also checking Cultivation Online to see if Xiao Hua had returned yet.

A week later, Yuan entered the ninth level, feeling an outburst of energy coming from somewhere within his body, yet he could not pinpoint the location.

"Xiao Hua still hasn't returned yet? She's gone for so long that it's a little worrisome…" Yuan sighed when Feng Yuxiang told him she hadn't returned yet.

"Who knows where she went. However, for her to take this long, she's either in trouble or she went really far to get the treasure." Feng Yuxiang said.

"However, with her cultivation base, I doubt it would take this long even if she had to travel to the other side of the world."

"Alright. I will continue to check if she has returned every day. Thank you for doing this, Feng Feng. I know this is probably very boring for you since you have to sit here all day." Yuan said to her.

"Don't mention it, Young Master. It's really not that bad. As someone who has lived for thousands of years, how I experience time may differ from your experience."

Sometime later, Yuan logged off and continued to cultivate.

One week…

Two weeks…

Three weeks…

An entire month has passed since Yuan reached the ninth level of Spirit Warrior, and he has reached the peak of Spirit Warrior, being only a step from entering Spirit Master.

However, this single step was by no means small, and even after trying to breakthrough for an entire week, Yuan remained stuck as a Spirit Warrior.

Meanwhile, Meixiu had managed to enter the eighth level of Spirit Apprentice, preparing to enter the ninth level.

"I entered Spirit Master as easily as breathing in Cultivation Online, yet I cannot do the same in the real world. This also happened when I tried to enter Spirit Warrior. I guess I can only continue trying…" He sighed.

After spending a few hours trying to breakthrough and failing, Yuan decided to enter Cultivation Online to see if Xiao Hua has returned yet.

"Is there anything I can do to contact her?" Yuan asked Feng Yuxiang, as he was getting impatient waiting for Xiao Hua, worried that something might've happened to her.

"Normally, you can speak with us telepathically because of the Master and Servant connection between us, but that only works for a certain amount of distance. Once we are outside the range, we won't be able to hear your voice."

"I see… Guess I can only keep trying to contact her."

After taking a deep breath, Yuan closed his eyes and proceeded to spend the next couple of minutes calling Xiao Hua.

Many minutes later with no result, Yuan prepared to log off.

However, just as he gave up, he could hear a familiar voice resound in his head.

"Sorry for making you wait, Brother Yuan."

Hearing Xiao Hua's voice, Yuan was ecstatic.

"Xiao Hua! You're back!" He exclaimed.
