Increased Appetite

While Yu Rou lost track of time as she was engrossed with the internet talking about her brother, Yuan was silently cultivating on the bed, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy in the room.

His cultivation speed compared to the game was incredibly slow, and it had taken him nearly two hours to enter the next level whilst it only took less than half an hour to reach second level Spirit Apprentice in the game.

'What are the cultivation stages in the real world, anyway? I doubt it's the same as the game. However, since I have no other references, I'll just follow the cultivation stages in Cultivation online,' Yuan thought to himself as he continued to cultivate even when Yu Rou entered the bed and went to sleep.

One hour… two hours… three hours…

Yuan spent the entire night cultivating, and by the time morning came, he had managed to breakthrough only two times, reaching third level Spirit Apprentice.
