Cultivation Online

After waking up from his strange dream, Yuan went to wash his face before going outside to get some fresh air, and he wondered if he'd been a general in his past life.

'That man in my dreams said that I was his reincarnation, but from what I have seen so far, he appeared to live inside a cultivation world. Does this mean there exists a cultivation world out there somewhere in the universe?' 

Many minutes later, Yuan returned inside the immortal caves, and everyone there was already awake and prepared to grab some breakfast.

"Where did you go, Brother Yuan?" Chu Liuxiang asked him.

"I was right outside the caves getting some fresh air," he said.

They left the immortal caves shortly after to get breakfast.

After eating breakfast, they made their way to the training building, where Yuan would spend another day on the third-floor training with the spear. As for Meixiu, she'd spent most of her time in the outdoor training area.

"Instructor, can I train with you again today?" Yuan approached the bulky man who showed a bittersweet smile on his face after hearing Yuan's request.

After all, he didn't want to lose again before so many disciples, and he'd already lost plenty of face from yesterday's loss.

However, as though the heavens were on the instructor's side, before he could open his mouth to speak, someone suddenly approached them and said, "I could spar with you if you'd like."

Yuan turned to look at this individual who'd just spoke, and he was a tall, handsome young man with long hair that was tied into a single ponytail at the back of his head.

'Wow, he's tall…' Yuan subconsciously said to himself when he saw this young man who was definitely an entire head taller than him.

"My name is Shi Lang, and I am an elite disciple. I don't usually train here, but I heard that you'd defeated the instructor yesterday, so I came here today to see if I could spar with you. I promise you that I won't disappoint you." The tall young man continued.

"Oh! Shi Lang! If it's you, you will definitely be able to fight with him!" The instructor said with a gleeful look on his face since he no longer has to fight Yuan.

He then turned to look at Yuan and said, "As you can probably guess from his surname, he's from the Shi Family. If I have to be completely honest, he's even stronger than me, so you'll definitely have fun sparring with him more than sparring with me."

Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's spar. By the way, I am Yuan."

"I know." Shi Lang smiled.

The instructor then cleared out an area in the gymnasium for the two of them.

Sometime later, Yuan and Shi Lang stood a few meters away from each other with a spear in their grasp.

Of course, the entire spear was completely made out of bamboo, so they didn't have to worry about accidentally inflicting grave injuries on each other.

With that being said, if struck by the spear, it would definitely hurt, and they could even experience a few broken bones.

Very quickly, a crowd gathered around the two of them before they even started the fight.

"Wow, it's actually Shi Lang. It's been months since I last saw him."

"Shi Lang is number one when it comes to polearms. Player Yuan fought Wang Ming, who is the number one with swords, and won. I wonder if he'll be able to defeat Shi Lang, too."

"No matter how talented Player Yuan is, I don't think he'll be able to defeat Shi Lang. He only picked up the spear yesterday without any prior experience, right? There's no way that he'd win against Shi Lang, who is not only extremely talented but also has 20 years' worth of training."

"I also don't think he'll win, but we won't know for sure until one of them actually wins."

"Whenever you are ready." Shi Lang said to Yuan while standing there in a casual manner.

Yuan readied his spear and got into an offensive position.

"Hm?" The instructor immediately raised his eyebrows when he felt the profound aura that suddenly started emitting from Yuan's body.

Shi Lang also noticed this unfathomable aura, and his calmness was quickly wiped away.

'What is going on? Why am I getting this feeling that I would only get when I fight against my grandfather from him?'

Shi Lang recognized this feeling coming from Yuan, as he would often feeling it coming from his grandfather— the feeling of a true master.

Once Shi Lang got into his position, the two of them would remain standing there without moving for a whole minute.

A minute later, Yuan suddenly moved forward, thrusting the spear in his grasp at Shi Lang.

Whoosh!

Shi Lang quickly dodged this strike that nearly struck him in the chest where his heart was located. However, he'd only managed to narrowly dodge the strike because of how unexpectedly fast Yuan had executed the strike.

An excited yet nervous smile appeared on Shi Lang's face without him realizing it, as it has been a very long time since he has last experienced such thrill and pressure.

After missing his attack, Yuan immediately retrieved his spear and went for another strike that was actually a little faster than his first strike!

Shi Lang dodged this strike again and with more ease despite the increased speed since he knew what the expect after experiencing Yuan's first strike.

Meanwhile, the instructor was shocked to the core after witnessing Yuan's lightning-quick spear thrust that was almost impossible to see with the eyes, and he wondered to himself if Yuan had been secretly practicing with the spear for the whole day yesterday after going home.

'His movements weren't this quick and sharp yesterday! It's almost like I am watching an entirely different person than yesterday! What kind of training did he undergo yesterday? How can someone improve so drastically in less than a day?!' The instructor cried inwardly.
