”Yes! I finally managed to learn it!” Yu Rou exclaimed in excitement after seeing the notification, feeling relieved that she did not have to waste any more time on it.
”How much time do I have left in this room?” Yu Rou turned to look at the timer beside the door.
”10 minutes left?!” Her eyes widened with surprise after seeing that it'd taken her nearly 10 hours to learn a single Mortal-rank technique.
”I really cannot compare to Brother Tian who can learn techniques as easy as breathing,” she sighed loudly.
After storing the Wind Blade technique into her storage pouch, Yu Rou went outside to knock on Yuan's door, but to her surprise, he was already outside and waiting for her.
”Brother… When did you come out? I didn't make you wait too long, right?” she asked him.
”No, we just came out,” he said with a smile.
”Anyway, how did it go? Were you able to learn the technique?”
”Un!” Yu Rou nodded with a bright smile. ”I barely managed to learn it in those 10 hours!”
”Congratulations, Yu Rou,” Yuan said.
”I am nothing compared to you, brother.” Yu Rou shook her head.
”That's not true,” he said.
”You don't need to try and comfort me, brother. I have known very well about the difference between our talents for years now— this is nothing new.” Yu Rou said, and she continued, ”Anyway, now that I have learned a new technique, I would like to use it, so let's go hunting some monsters!”
Yuan nodded, ”Okay, where do you want to go?”
”Anywhere that has low-level monsters, preferably ones around the first level to second level Spirit Apprentice,” she said.
”There are plenty of beasts below the third level Spirit Apprentice a few miles from this city,” Xiao Hua said.
”Great! Then let's go!” Yu Rou said.
They proceeded to walk downstairs and returned the keys to the receptionist before leaving the building.
Once they were outside, Yuan retrieved his flying sword and jumped onto it with Yu Rou in his arms.
A few moments later, they soared towards the sky and flew for a few minutes until they were a couple of miles away from Nature City.
”There are a few first-level Spirit Apprentice beasts below us,” Xiao Hua said to them.
”Oh! I want to fight them!” Yu Rou said.
Xiao Hua nodded, and they descended to the ground a moment later.
”Where is it?” Yu Rou asked after they landed.
”200 meters that way.” Xiao Hua pointed south.
”Okay!”
Yu Rou proceeded to walk in that direction with wide strides, clearly impatient to try out her new skill.
”Slow down, Yu Rou. The monsters aren't going anywhere,” Yuan said to her with a smile after seeing her excitement.
A few moments later, Yu Rou could finally see the monster; it was a slightly oversized fox with orange fur and red eyes.
”That's a Red-eyed Fox. They are nimble but weak. If you don't hit it with your first strike, you won't have a second chance because it will run away,” Xiao Hua said in a low voice.
Yu Rou nodded and retrieved her Spirit Waver.
After taking a deep breath, she gathered her spiritual energy before waving her fan a moment later.
”Wind Blade!”
An arc of wind resembling long-distance sword attacks suddenly flew from the Spirit Waver and at the Red-eyed Fox.
However, because this is Yu Rou's first time using the skill and the Spirit Waver, her aim was way off target, missing the Red-eyed fox by a long shot.
Bang!
The Wind Blade did a weird turn in the air before flying into a tree and destroying it with ease.
When the Red-eyed Fox saw this, it immediately turned around and ran away.
”Wow… No wonder why this skill cost so much despite being a Mortal-rank technique! It's really powerful!” Yu Rou's eyes flickered with excitement after seeing the skill's destructive power.
”The strength is comparable to a technique at the Earth-rank technique,” Xiao Hua said to her.
And she continued, ”If it doesn't hit the target, it won't matter even if the technique is the strongest in the world, though.”
