Ding!

[You have completed the Great One’s Trial!]

[Total time dodged: 1:00:00]

[Total hits: 0]

[Congratulations! You have set a new record!]

[You have been awarded a Golden Dragon Gift Box]

Yuan collapsed on the floor after he saw the notification.

“If I didn’t level up the movement technique at the Ancient Dragon City, I might not have been able to pass this trial without getting hit a few times…” Yuan sighed in an exhausted manner.

Towards the end, he had to dodge over a hundred attacks from every direction, and the attacks would come at every second, leaving him almost no room to breathe.

Fortunately for him, the movement technique he’d learned from Feng Yuxiang was truly as powerful as she had claimed.

A few moments later, once the world returned to normal and he had rested enough, Yuan opened the Golden Dragon Gift Box to see what was inside.

[You have obtained ‘Dragon Temple Treasure Key’]

“Wait a minute…” Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw the notification.

“I already have the Dragon Temple Treasure Key!” Yuan exclaimed.

He remembers obtaining the same thing at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower after reaching the 100th floor! What is he going to do with this extra key? Will it be a useless treasure?

Normally, one wouldn’t be able to obtain the Dragon Temple Treasury Key unless they got lucky with one of the trials in the Dragon Temple, yet Yuan somehow managed to obtain it before even entering the place.

“I did all of that just for a duplicate treasure… What luck…” Yuan shook his head.

[3/3 Great One’s Trials completed]

[You have reached the limit of trials you can complete!]

[You may continue to do the trials, but you will not receive any reward!]

“To add insult to injury, that was my last attempt… Ah, whatever.” Yuan gave up, as there was nothing he could do at this point.

Sometime later, Yuan returned to the dragon statue and looked at the progress of the formation.

“Still not done, huh?”

He decided to log off for the day shortly after.

“How’s everything going, Meixiu?” Yuan asked her during dinner.

“Well… As you can expect, the entire world is in an uproar right now,” she said.

“I’m not surprised.”

“The prices for cultivation techniques have also skyrocketed since then. Even a Mortal-grade cultivation technique could go for tens of thousands of dollars,” she added.

“Also not surprising…”

“Governments around the world want to regulate cultivation, but with so many people doing it in secrecy, it’s near impossible to do anything about it.”

“I see…”

After a moment of silence, Yuan said, “Oh, yeah. You should have the Basic Qi Gathering Technique, right? It was given to everyone when we started the game. You should try to get a feel for cultivation in Cultivation Online before you attempt it in the real world. It’s going to be like practice until you get a better cultivation technique.”

“Okay, I will try it later. What about you? Will you be playing tonight?”

“Yes, I am waiting for some massive formation to finish, but it’s taking forever. Though, I don’t want to miss it when it does finish.”

Sometime later, Yuan returned to the game and continued to wait for the formation to finish.

Meixiu went to clean the dishes before entering the game.

Meanwhile, after school, Yu Rou was summoned by her parents.

Once she arrived at their main house, Yu Rou immediately noticed the empty boxes laid outside the door, causing her to raise her eyebrows.

A few minutes later, she went to look for her parents in their bedroom, which was an odd place for a meeting.

When she entered their room, the first thing she noticed was the familiar-looking console on their bed.

“You’re finally here, huh?” Yu Yong said to her from the bed.

“As you can see, we’ll be playing Cultivation Online as well.”

“Eh…?” Yu Rou stared at them with a dumbfounded look on her face.

“I’m sure you’ve heard by now, but apparently one can become a Cultivator if they play this game and use their cultivation techniques.” Tang Lee said.

And she continued, “Yu Rou, since you have been playing this game for some time now, you should have enough experience as a Cultivator inside the game. The other families have already started cultivating, and some of their children have even succeeded in cultivating. Therefore, you’re going to become a Cultivator as well.”

“I-I understand…” Yu Rou mumbled in a dazed voice.

Although she was already planning on becoming a Cultivator, it was still shocking to hear it from her parents’ mouths.

“If becoming a Cultivator truly increases one’s longevity and grants them superhuman strength like they say, that’s not something we can ignore.” Yu Yong said.

Sometime later, Yu Rou returned to her own house.

After eating dinner and taking a quick shower, Yu Rou sat on her bed in the lotus position and tried to cultivate using the cultivation technique she has been using in Cultivation Online.

Her breathing quickly calmed and became rhythmic, and her mind was cleared of all thoughts except the cultivation technique.

Yu Rou eventually entered this mythical state that was similar to enlightenment yet it was not true enlightenment.

A few hours later, Yu Rou suddenly felt a nostalgic feeling spread throughout her body.

“Did I succeed? Am I a Cultivator now? That was easier than I’d expected…” Yu Rou opened her eyes and stood up, feeling energetic all over her body.

She then turned to look at her desk.

After pondering for a moment, she approached it and tried to lift it with one hand.

Yu Rou didn’t expect anything at first, but to her surprise, she’d managed to lift the whole desk with a single arm! And with relative ease too!

“H-Heavens! It’s real! I am really a Cultivator!” Yu Rou exclaimed in an excited voice.

Yu Rou immediately went to pick up the phone and tried to contact Meixiu, but when nobody picked up, she called Xia Jingyi instead.
