Chapter 445 A New Rumor (1/2)

A little over a week after the Cultivators' Association was announced, over 100,000 cultivators from Yuan's city alone had registered as a cultivator with less than 1 percent of them also joining the Cultivators' Association.

One percent may seem like very little, but the requirements to join the Cultivators' Association were not low, as one needed to be at least a Third Level Spirit Apprentice before they could even take the examination.

After joining the Cultivators' Association, the cultivators are given a special badge and assigned to a certain location in the city where they will be working, almost like actual police but with higher pay and more authority.

As for the number of cultivators that have registered at the Cultivators' Association worldwide, it reached 10 million people in less than a month.

Meanwhile, Yuan had reached the Eighth Level Spirit Warrior and improved immensely for his condition— to the point where he could push his upper body off the bed a few inches with his arms.

However, despite his seemingly fit physique and feeling like he was overwhelming with energy, Yuan actually couldn't exert much strength, feeling like something was blocking him from utilizing his full potential.

'Maybe Doctor Wang is right— that I might be cursed.' Yuan sighed inwardly.

Hopefully, he could sit up on the bed without external help by the time he enters the ninth level.

Sometime later, Meixiu entered his room and said, ”Wang Xiuying said she'll be visiting later today for your checkup.”

Now that Wang Xiuying knew his identity as Player Yuan, she has pretty much replaced Doctor Wang when it comes to taking care of him such as the weekly checkups, especially when Doctor Wang and his hospital has seen an explosive increase in patients recently due to the increased violence in the community between cultivators.

”Okay,” Yuan said.

About two hours later, Wang Xiuying arrived at their apartment and began examining Yuan's condition.

”Everything looks normal this week as well.” Wang Xiuying said to him afterward.

”I see. Thank you.”

”What cultivation are you at right now, Yuan?” Wang Xiuying then asked him, and she continued, ”I just reached the fourth level yesterday.”

”Eighth level,” Yuan said.

”Haaa… Looks like it's really impossible to catch up to you…” Wang Xiuying sighed.

”And no wonder why your body looks so fit despite not exercising. I thought it was weird when I first noticed it. To think it was because you'd started cultivating.”

When Wang Xiuying learned that Yuan had been cultivating even before it was announced, she was obviously shocked, but what shocked her the most was when she learned that he was already a Spirit Warrior while everyone else was still a Spirit Apprentice.

Of course, there was one more thing that Yuan revealed to her.

Wang Xiuying looked at the door to make sure it was closed before asking Yuan in a low voice, ”How's your recovery going compared to last week?”

Yuan proceeded to show Wang Xiuying his progress by lifting his body off the bed slightly before falling back down a moment later.
