Chapter 74 - Feeling Pain (1/2)
'T-The Demon Sealing Technique! This is a technique from the third floor! And it's even the most powerful one!' The young man looked at Yuan with a feeling of deep admiration in his gaze, as only the top geniuses with at least a major destiny are qualified to step onto the third floor.
However, while the Demon Sealing Technique is an extremely powerful technique that can seal even the strongest of demons with a single move, it is also extremely hard to learn, and it will take even top geniuses many years to even grasp the surface of this technique, hence why most people avoid it.
”T-This technique will be free of charge, esteemed guest…” The young man said to Yuan with a smile on his face.
”What?! Free of charge?!” Yu Rou exclaimed with disbelief on her face. How come she has to pay 200,000 gold coins for her technique whilst Yuan won't be charged even a single coin? That's outrageous!
”Yes, one can receive a technique of their choice for free if they qualified to enter the third floor,” Yuan explained to her why he didn't need to pay.
”Unfair…” Yu Rou sighed.
Sometime later, Yuan paid the young man 200,000 gold coins for Wind Blade, leaving only a little over 200,000 gold coins for himself.
'If I keep spending money at this rate, my wallet won't last, and I'll run out of money before Yu Rou returns to school!' Yuan cried inwardly.
However, no matter how much it might pain his heart or wallet, he won't be humble when it comes to helping Yu Rou.
”Thank you for your purchase, esteemed guests!”
The young man handed the techniques back to Yuan who then handed the Wind Blade to Yu Rou.
”Thank you, brother!” Yu Rou accepted the Wind Blade with an ecstatic expression on her face.
Sometime later, they left the Myriad of Techniques.
”Although I won't be here for long, I hope to see you again in the future, Daoist Yu Tian,” Zhu Yuying said to him at the entrance.
”Yes, thank you for everything, too.” Yuan nodded at her.
After leaving the Myriad of Techniques, Yuan asked Yu Rou, ”What should we do now?”
”It's getting late, brother. And it's almost time for dinner, so we'll stop here for today.”
”Okay, I will see you on the other side,” Yuan said.
Yu Rou logged off a few seconds later.
”We'll be back tomorrow, Xiao Hua.”
Xiao Hua nodded and disappeared into his necklace.
Yuan also logged off shortly later.
”...”
”...”
”...”
”W-What the heck?”
Yuan immediately frowned after logging off, as a strong smell that resembled rotten eggs suddenly assaulted his nose.
”What's this smell?! It smells like shit!” Yuan felt like puking, but then he realized something.
'Wait a second… this smell… I have smelled this awful smell before…' Yuan suddenly recalled the impurities his body had discharged.
However, that only made him more confused. Why would he be smelling something that he'd experienced in the game?
A moment later, the door opened, and Yu Rou walked into his room
”Brother, here I am— Ahhhh! Brother?! Are you okay?!” Yu Rou suddenly shrieked in a terrified voice shortly after entering his room.
”W-What happened, Yu Rou?!” Yuan was startled by her shouting.
”Why does this room smell so awful, and what are those black gunk sticking to your body?!”
Yu Rou exclaimed.
”B-Black gunks...?” Yuan immediately turned speechless after hearing her words.
Although he couldn't see his own body, in Yu Rou's eyes, his body was pretty much submerged in this black gunk, looking like someone had poured a bucket of waste on him.
”P-Please wait for a minute, brother! I will be right back!” Yu Rou immediately ran back outside to look for the servants.
Meanwhile, Yuan was pondering with a serious frown on his face.
'Black gunk… Impurities? No, that shouldn't be possible. Why would my real body discharge impurities when it happened in the game? But this awful smell is exactly like the impurities in the game,' Yuan pondered and pondered, but he was unable to find an explanation for this phenomenon.
”What if… what if what happens in the game also affects the real world…?” Yuan mumbled in a low voice before turning silent again.
