Chapter 98 - Dragon Essence Temple Disciple Examination (1/2)

After Yu Rou finished feeding Yuan, she said to him, ”Okay, brother. Now that your own room has been cleaned, I am going to let you sleep by yourself again.”

A few moments later, Yu Rou carried Yuan to the wheelchair before pushing him back to his own room.

”Do you want to play tonight, brother?” Yu Rou asked him.

Now that she knows his real identity as Player Yuan, she was more willing to let him play more so that he can continue progressing as much as possible.

”No, it's okay. In fact, I am going to take a break from Cultivation Online for a few days until the Dragon Essence Temple examination begins,” Yuan said to her.

”Huh? You're taking a break already? Why?” Yu Rou asked him with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

Although missing a few days of progress might not matter when Yuan's already months, even years ahead of other players, it still doesn't make any sense why he would want to take a break so suddenly.

”Did something happen today? Is that why you're taking a break?” Yu Rou asked him. ”It's okay to speak to me, brother.”

”No, it has nothing to do with the game, honestly. I just want to take a break and prepare myself before I partake in the examination.”

”Preparations for the examination… in the real world?” Yu Rou could not understand his intentions, but since Yuan insisted on taking a break, there was nothing she could do. After all, it was not as if she could force him to play the game.

”Okay. Then I'll leave you alone now. Goodnight, brother.” Yu Rou closed the lights in the room before leaving Yuan alone.

Once he was alone, Yuan immediately began cultivating, and he would not stop for the rest of the night.

By the following morning, Yuan had managed to breakthrough once again, reaching fourth level Spirit Apprentice.

”Haaa… This is taking much longer than the game. If only there were monster cores in this world or things equivalent that would allow me to increase my cultivation faster…” Yuan sighed.

Sometime later, Yu Rou entered his room to clean his face and brush his teeth before feeding him breakfast.

After Yuan consumed all three bowls of soup, Yu Rou wiped his lips with a wet towel before leaving for school.

Once he was alone again, Yuan returned to cultivating. Even though the progress might be slow, at least he can make some progress.

Yuan repeated this process for the next two days, and besides eating and cultivating he was doing nothing else— not even sleeping.

By the time the Dragon Essence Temple began their disciple examination, Yuan had reached the fifth level Spirit Apprentice realm.

”Yu Rou, I am going back to Cultivation Online today. The Dragon Essence Temple should begin their disciple examination today, too,” Yuan said to her after breakfast.

”Okay. Good luck, brother. Of course, I'm sure you'll pass the exam without any effort.” Yu Rou chuckled.
