“Argh!”

Fu Chen suddenly felt a sting in his heart. He turned around and looked at the sky. It felt like something terrible happened to his parents.

“Hey, you are distracted!”

A young man in front of him grunted and rushed towards him. His speed was great but just when his fist struck Fu Chen, it hit nothing but air.

[Move your body to the left and strike an uppercut!]

Fu Chen followed the instruction and struck his chin with all of his physical strength. No, he hasn’t added those stats points to his stats but his punch was still strong.

Bang! Thud!

The young man flew up in the air and fell on his head, knocking him unconscious.

The entire competition was silent at this win.

Bam!

In the standing area of the disciple, Zhu Tan slammed his fist on the wall with an angry expression on his face.

Fu Chen’s physical strength was clearly on display which wasn’t surprising, especially with all that training he had done. Now that his body was capable of using spiritual qi, each time he improves, his strength increases twice that of normal people.

In short term, he paved his own path through sheer training as well. Of course, there was a certain change in his physical strength due to the bond between him and his new wife.

“Fu Chen wins!”

The elder standing below the battle arena jumped on it and declared him the winner. Fu Chen gave the elder a bow and left without even looking at his opponent.

The person he doesn’t know doesn’t get his respect.

Fu Chen walked back to his resting area which was completely opposite Zhu Tan’s resting area. Most of the disciples didn’t even make eye contact as he walked up to the bench and sat down.

‘So, how does it feel to have your first win in front of the crowd?’ Ysla asked inside his mind.

Fu Chen shrugged his shoulders and thought ‘I didn’t feel much. But, something is worrying me a lot. This is making me nervous.’

‘Don’t worry! Didn’t that girl say that your parents are fine?’ Ysla consoled him.

‘I don’t know. I don’t think she has any reason to help me. And, she only said that my parents are fine. But, I keep getting the feeling that my parents aren’t in good shape.’

‘I don’t know. It is really stressing me. What should I do?’ Fu Chen sighed with confusion and tension in his eyes.

Ysla sighed ‘Don’t do anything. For now, look at your status and see how much you have grown in just seven days. Then think about how much you can grow in just a few years.’

‘Don’t think about negative things. Just be optimistic like you’ve always been.’

‘Alright then! Open Status’

Fu Chen didn’t know what to say here. He was always optimistic but this time it got little personal. That’s why he couldn’t remain optimistic.

‘Yep, it did improve a lot but if my stat increases by 5 after each level up, does that mean the normal cultivator’s strength only goes up by 2.5. And, how exactly do you mean this?’ Fu Chen asked.

Hearing his words, Ysla sighed and said ‘Host, do you really need to know this? Just remember, if you think you can punch someone, just do it, don’t ask for permission.’

‘If Zhu Tan wants to beat you, do you think he would ask for permission? It doesn’t matter what your stat might be, just feel that whether the opponent is too weak or too strong for you but fight someone in the middle.’

‘And, you already know the comparison, don’t you? Your physical strength is equal to ten tigers which means one tiger has a strength of 2.5 points. Is that clear enough?’

‘Yeah! Yeah! You don’t have to shout like that. Anyway, do you really think I shouldn’t use the stat points now?’ Fu Chen asked after going through her rage.

‘No, don’t use the stat points now. You can’t use the stat points to increase your additional stat and just buffing out other stats won’t help you at all. So, just don’t use it now.’

‘Remember there will always be a point where you might face someone you can’t defeat. And, that’s because you aren’t prepared for such kind of powerhouse. So, what should you do?’

‘You should start preparing from now. If 2.5 is equal to the strength of one tiger, then you can get the strength of 200 tigers from the remaining 500 points or you can also get higher agility with those points.’

‘Don’t use them now. As for skill points, I think you should use them when you choose a cultivation technique and martial art from the library.’ Ysla suggested as she made a plan for his future.

But, her suggestion confused Fu Chen.

‘Wait, why would I choose a cultivation technique and martial art from the library when I have Immortal-Tier cultivation technique and martial art in my hands?’

‘Hah! I should be a spiritual mentor than an A.I. But, still, I will do my job and explain this to you. Do you have any idea how strong Immortal-Tier Cultivation Technique and Martial Art can be?’ Ysla asked.

Fu Chen remained silent. He had no idea at all.

‘Okay, from the information I have received, there are two main tiers of cultivation technique and martial art. One is Mortal and another is Immortal. Obviously, Immortal-Tier is stronger than Mortal-Tier and not just by a little but rather by a huge margin.’

‘When you cultivate using a cultivation technique, it calls the spiritual qi around you. The speed and amount of spiritual qi appearing around you depend upon the Tier of your cultivation technique.’

‘Even Peak-Tier cultivation techniques aren’t something you can use now. Even that will draw the entire spiritual qi of the sect near you and it will get the attention of everyone.’

‘As for Immortal-Tier, well the entire city will no longer have Spiritual Qi the next morning and if you don’t manage to reach the peak overnight and the world will definitely kill you for your secrets.’

‘So, you need to find a proper and powerful cultivation technique in order to hide the fact that you cultivate the Immortal-Tier and use it whenever you are far from other humans.’

‘Remember this properly and never forget this! If they find out that you possess Immortal-Tier treasures, they will hunt you down. So, use Immortal-Tier Cultivation Technique when nobody is within the coverage of tens of miles around you.’

‘And, use Immortal-Tier weapon and martial art whenever you face off against the opponent far more powerful than you. What would you do if that elder suddenly decided to assassinate you by himself?’

‘Your strength is currently at the bottom while he is at the top/ comparing between Foundation Establishment and True Essence. I am comparing you two, not him and other elders. Because I know that guy is even trashier than you.”

‘So, you got to use stat points, power weapons, and martial arts just to face him or even escape from him. But, I suggest if you end up using one of those three in front of others, kill them so that the information won’t leak out.’

‘Anyway, did you get the reason why I don’t want you to use those things openly?’ Ysla asked.

‘Ysla, thank you!’ Only after hearing her explain did he realize that he was being far too reckless. He can’t believe that he forgot about his contribution points being taken by Zhu Tan just because he was weak.

Those were only contribution points. These were immortal-tier treasures. The whole world might turn against him.

………….

Thud!

“Master!”

Xue Le suddenly opened her eyes when she saw a figure falling in front of her. That figure was none other than her master which shocked her. Because her condition was very severe.

‘What happened? What could have hurt her like this?’

Xue Le panicked. As much as she began to hate her, she still doesn’t feel good to see her beat up like this. She hurriedly went near her but at this moment, Lily suddenly flew next to her.

This made Xue Le stunned. Lily moved around her a few times and finally flew back to Xue Le and poked her a few times.

“You mean she has the scent same as in the locket?”

Xue Le asked with surprise and the next moment her eyes widened. She knew her master wasn’t accepting Fu Chen but she didn’t expect her to pay a visit to his parents.

Although she didn’t know how she got hurt, she understood something and it made her unhappy. Her eyes turned red and her emotions got even more as she remembered those lines.

‘Every single morning, I wake up with the nightmare of my parents dying.’

‘I don’t want my parents to be caught at it.’

Slowly, her hand rose and she unconsciously moved towards her unconscious master. An immense amount of true essence condensed at her hand and formed a blade.

As she got closer, the door opened behind her and Miao shouted.

“Miss!”
