"What if you compared it to the Longxuan Empire?"
"Do not compare it with such a remote and desolate place."
"…"
Remote… and… desolate…
Shen Yanxiao had to admit. She was tempted!
"Hey, if you regain your strength one day, will you return to your home?" Perhaps she was too idle, so Shen Yanxiao started to chat with Xiu about trivial questions for the first time ever.
"I will definitely return." Xiu's voice faintly revealed a determination that she had never encountered before.
Shen Yanxiao smiled. "Then, as your ally, shouldn't you consider bringing me along to sightsee?" She was very curious about his luxurious home that could reduce the wealthy Longxuan Empire to a 'remote and desolate' place.
"Very well." Even though Xiu did not understand what Shen Yanxiao meant when she said 'sightsee,' he could still guess her intentions by what the words meant individually.
"When I repossess my body, I will certainly bring you there."
Shen Yanxiao smiled even more brilliantly.
Luxurious places were a thief's favorite place to be. In a place where gold littered everywhere, it was an excellent opportunity for them to get rich!
Since she had loaned her body to someone for so long, she thought that she ought to charge a certain amount of 'rent' after the matter was settled.
Xiu did not realize that he had led a wolf into his home. After that short chat with Shen Yanxiao, he recovered his personality as a devious instructor.
"It'll be awhile before we reach the Vermilion Bird's lair. Before then, you must train without stopping to sleep or rest so that you can increase your strength."
Shen Yanxiao's face soured…
Even though her progress during that period was considered stable, it was still a distance to the sixth-rank target that Xiu had set for her!!
She thought that he simply wanted to hound her to her death!!
...
As they journeyed, Shen Yanxiao had barely managed to follow Xiu's order to neither rest nor sleep under his strenuous training!
For the entirety of two days and nights, what she had done in the carriage other than train was to continue to train some more!
It had been two and a half days since they entered the Lava Valley, and they still had not reached the Vermilion Bird's lair. It was a cruel reality!
For an entire two days and two nights, she didn't even get the chance to rest her eyes, and if she relaxed for a little bit, Xiu's ice-cold voice would explode in her mind. It was not a sound that she would hear in her ears, so even if she jabbed her ears, it would not have lowered the volume.
Every day, the sage would dispatch someone to send food and drinks to every carriage, and they would continue the journey for the rest of the time. Even after they had arrived at the Lava Mountain for so many days, Shen Yanxiao feet had never touched the ground.
Before the day ended, Shen Yanxiao's magic finally broke through to the sixth rank under Xiu's inhumane training.
After the sixth rank, Shen Yanxiao had to choose the direction of her magic training between three classes, and they were magus, warlocks, and priests.
Xiu was an excellent teacher. He analyzed the situation of the three paths and explained them in a simple but yet precise manner for Shen Yanxiao.
Magus had the strongest attack between the three classes, and even among a huge army, they still maintained a decisive role. A powerful magic attack often possessed a more terrifying killing power than the siege weapons.
However, a magus was also very weak. They were unequaled in situations with long-ranged enemies, but if a powerful opponent were to attack them from close proximity, then they would be very vulnerable to the attacks.
All magic attacks required a certain amount of time for chants, and more powerful magic would require longer time for the chants. The magus needed a perfectly safe environment to work because they had to concentrate on their chants, and so, they were an extreme class of their own.
They were like kings in long-ranged combats, but a weakling in close-quarter fights.
It was the first class that Shen Yanxiao had decided to abandon.
In a real battle, no enemy would allow the magus the time that they needed for their chants. Without the protection of powerful teammates, an unaccompanied vulnerable magus could be easily killed by a close combat class even if the opponent was lower-levelled. Of course, a skilled magus would require only a short time for his chant, and they could also torture those close combat enemies to death with their ample experiences.
However, that was not what Shen Yanxiao wanted. She did not have any support, and to be at a disadvantage in close quarters combat during the initial phase of her training was not something that she wanted to do.
Furthermore, she was accustomed to split-second decisions, and something as time-consuming and tedious as that was not suitable for her.
The second choice would be a priest. Their attack abilities were weak, and it was as if they had none. However, they possessed a powerful connection with nature and could heal any injuries by borrowing the power of nature. Furthermore, they could utilize the power of nature to strengthen themselves and their companions. Of course, those were all only short-term effects.
The priest was a class that relied more on their companions when compared to the magus. Without powerful allies, a single priest would not even be able to deal with a low-level demon beast.
The priests of this world were similar to doctors of modern times. They were merely more mysterious than doctors, and they were more of an all-rounder.
Before she heard the complete explanation, Shen Yanxiao had already vetoed that class that sounded like a path for the Virgin Mary.
She did not wish to stand behind other people and become a parasite that would enjoy someone else's protection!
Finally, there was only the warlock class left.
Xiu was very precise when he explained about warlocks, and it was in more detailed when compared to his explanations about magus and priest.
Warlocks were an intriguing existence in the Brilliance Continent. They were far less aggressive than magus in terms of attack and did not possess the ability to heal any injuries. However, they were the nightmares of many.
Warlocks utilized strange curses, but they could not make someone vanish in a split second. However, they could secretly influence and cause the other person's corpse to disappear. They were like an invisible poison that would corrode the enemies' life force without anyone's notice. Curses did not require chants, and it only needed to execute hand signs to activate it. Warlocks could execute curses in the blink of an eye and cause the opponent to be weakened. They could incapacitate a powerful magus to prevent access to their magic, and turn them into trash for their enemies to slaughter!
It was basically the first choice for any shady person!
The moment Xiu ended his explanation, Shen Yanxiao became very interested in that horrifying class.
As a thief goddess, it was not her nature to expose herself to charge and break through the enemy lines. Instead, she would conceal herself in a dark corner, and wait for an opportunity to struck as that was where her interest lies in!
The warlock class was simply tailor-made for her!
"Then, that'll be it!" Shen Yanxiao instantly decided that she wanted to walk down the path of a warlock that seemed to have bright prospects.
However, Xiu reminded her that there weren't many people in the entire Brilliance Continent that went down the path of a warlock. It was because many thought that they were an extremely sinister presence. Furthermore, they practiced despicable methods, and no family would allow their members to learn a class that would disgrace their family's prestige as they believed a true warrior should face their enemy head on!
