Chapter 557 - Unable To Focus (1/2)

After putting their luggage away, Chu Liuxiang and Meixiu changed out of their pajamas before making their way to the restaurant for breakfast.

Once breakfast was done, Chu Liuxiang asked, ”Brother Yuan, what are you going to do today?”

”I am going to practice with my sword at the training building. Honestly, that's pretty much all we do here. I am sorry if it's a little boring,” he said.

”It's fine. I don't mind it.”

After they rested a little after breakfast, they began making their way to the training building.

”I will see you later,” Meixiu said to Yuan before making her way to the fourth floor.

Meanwhile, Yuan entered the gymnasium on the first floor and did some warmup with the sword..

”Can I see that sword?” Chu Liuxiang asked him.

Yuan handed the wooden sword to her.

”Oh, it's much heavier than it looks.”

”There's metal in the center, so it feels like a real sword.”

Chu Liuxiang began swinging the sword around effortlessly, but her technique wasn't the best. In fact, one could even call them choppy and amateurish, and anyone watching could tell that she was a complete beginner with the sword.

”What kind of training do you do?” Yuan asked her out of curiosity.

”Mostly how to control my spiritual energy. Like this.”

Chu Liuxiang held the sword in front of her for a moment before letting the handle go.

However, to Yuan's surprise, the sword didn't fall to the ground and hovered in the air.

”T-This is… Qi Manipulation?” Yuan could tell that Chu Liuxiang was controlling the sword with her spiritual energy so that it wouldn't fall, and this technique greatly resembled Qi Manipulation that can only be used by Spirit Grandmasters in Cultivation Online.

”Qi Manipulation? It's a technique from my family, but they call it Spiritual Control.” Chu Liuxiang said.

”Does that mean you also know how to fly?” Yuan couldn't help but ask.

”Fly? That's impossible,” she said.

”Really? In Cultivation Online, if you know Qi Manipulation, then you can control the spiritual energy around your body, allowing you to fly.”

”Hmm… I'm not sure, but I cannot control the spiritual energy around me— only my own spiritual energy. I can use it to move things from a distance, and it can even deal significant damage, but that's pretty much all it can do. Flying is out of the question,” she said.

”Then it's not Qi Manipulation?” Yuan mumbled to himself.

Of course, there is also the chance that it's actually Qi Manipulation, but Chu Liuxiang hasn't reached that level yet.

”Brother Yuan, you're quite strong, right? Do you want to experience for yourself the technique's might? Don't worry, I will hold back.”

”Sure.” Yuan eagerly nodded.

He then stood a few meters away from Chu Liuxiang like she'd instructed him before putting the sword in front of him in a defensive position.

”Are you ready?” Chu Liuxiang asked him.
