Chapter 76 - Feeling Nothing but Pain (1/2)
”Ouch!”
”...”
”Ah!”
”...”
”Shit!”
”...”
”Ack!”
Yuan spent nearly half an hour trying to cultivate while enduring the intense pain that came from it but to no avail, feeling nothing but pain and with no progress.
'Why? Why can't I cultivate when there's clearly a reaction? Every time I feel like I am close to a breakthrough, the pain immediately interrupts my breakthrough!' Yuan sighed inwardly.
'I guess I'll have to ask Xiao Hua and see if she knows something about this…'
Once Yu Rou returned to the room with dinner a few minutes later, Yuan decided to stop cultivating for the time being to eat dinner.
Sometime later, Yu Rou said to him, ”Brother, you can go ahead and sleep first, I am going to surf the internet to see if there is anything we can do together tomorrow.”
”Okay. Goodnight, Yu Rou.” Yuan said to her.
”Goodnight, brother.” After tucking Yuan into bed, Yu Rou went to her computer and began surfing the internet, and as usual, she went to look at the forums to see if there was anything new or important she should know about.
'Player Yuan made the headlines again? What did he do this time?' Yu Rou saw the posts that were marked 'hot' and quickly clicked on the link.
[Player Yuan has become the first player to learn a Heaven-rank technique!]
[Player Yuan shocks the world again with his insane progression speed!]
[Just how is Player Yuan getting these high-ranking techniques!? Click here to find out!]
'So Player Yuan now has a Divine-rank technique and a Heaven-rank technique, whilst the rest of us are still running around with Mortal-rank techniques…' Yu Rou shook her head.
This Player Yuan is simply too amazing and unfathomable. How is he able to achieve such results? What is he doing differently from others? Is he really even a real player? What if Player Yuan is actually an admin screwing with everybody? That seemed more plausible than Player Yuan being a cheater.
After reading all of the new forum threads about Player Yuan, Yu Rou for some reason decided to turn to look at her brother, who was already sound asleep on her bed.
”...”
After pondering for a good moment, she returned to the internet and searched for the Wealth Leaderboards.
”What! There are already so many people on the Wealth Leaderboards?!” Yu Rou exclaimed in a low but surprised voice.
It has only been a few days since the Wealth Leaderboards was unlocked by Player Yuan and there were already a thousand players from all around the world that has managed to amass over one million gold.
Obviously, these thousand people were not your regular players but some of the wealthiest players in the world who took advantage of their wealth to buy gold coins from other players through Real World Trading just so they can get onto the Wealth Leaderboards.
'Let's see if I can find my brother's name here…' Yu Rou began scrolling through the thousand names.
After all, if Yuan could easily take out 431,000 gold coins and spend it on her without batting an eyelid, he should be on the Wealth Leaderboards.
However, Yu Rou was unable to find the name 'Yu Tian' on the Wealth Leaderboards even after scrolling all the way to the very bottom of the list, which was not too surprising, as he'd spent nearly half a million already, and that could have kicked him off the Wealth Leaderboards.
'Now that I think about it, what is Brother Tian's name in Cultivation Online? I never got to ask him,' she thought to herself after this realization.
'Whatever, I'll just ask him tomorrow…' Yu Rou shrugged before returning to the forums, where she navigated to the 'Events' section.
Once she was in the 'Events' section, where players from all over the cultivation world share their experience with past and ongoing events to others for contribution points, which they can redeem for gold coins in-game.
'Let's see if there are any ongoing events near Spring City that we can attend together…' Yu Rou proceeded to type 'Spring City' in the search bar.
Literally, a second later, over 10 pages of results that mentioned Spring City was in front of her.
'Hmm… Most of these have already ended… Oh? What's this?'
[There will be a major event tomorrow at Spring City where the lord of the city— the Xuan Family— will be hosting a Disciple Recruitment Exam for the Dragon Essence Temple, a very prominent sect in the cultivation world! Only those above the 3rd level Spirit Apprentice realm can join!]
”Dragon Essence Temple? Recruiting disciples?” Yu Rou raised her eyebrows.
She then opened a new tab on her web browser and looked up the term 'Sect'.
