章節 14: Chapter 14: Steady Improvement!

Ling Yuyan stared suspiciously at Jing Weiyuan.

She was really afraid that Jing Weiyuan had noticed something from her, so he gave her this martial arts manual to test her or something like that.

Unfortunately, Ling Yuyan still could not find any clue from Jing Weiyuan's expression.

After teasing Ling Yuyan for a while, Jing Weiyuan bid farewell to her and went back to his courtyard to take some rest.

Of course, it was only his excuse since Jing Weiyuan had many things to do to arrange the plan for raiding the Lin family's manor a few days later.

Ling Yuyan sighed in relief when she saw Jing Weiyuan had already gone from her sight.

Then Ling Yuyan became confused about what she should do next because Wang Qingling ordered her to serve Jing Weiyuan from now on.

Before she could think deeply, An Yue's voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "I am very sorry, Sister Yuyan."

"I wanted to secretly take action to help you win against that girl before, but I noticed that guy and his hidden guard at Martial Master realm nearby, so I did not dare to make any more rash actions." An Yue explained in a tone filled with guilt.

Ling Yuyan shook her head and replied with a solemn expression: "No, An Yue... You just did the right thing. I rather choose to be beaten by Wang Meng Yuan than let that dangerous person know anything about us."

"Next time, you should also think carefully and keep an eye on your surroundings before you choose to take any action. Unless you are 100% sure that no one would find any clue about you, or if you are 100% sure that you can wipe every witness there, then it would be much better to not take any rash action just like now." Ling Yuyan warned An Yue.

"Understood, Sister Yuyan!" An Yue replied in a solemn tone.

An Yue was Ling Yuyan's one and only life-saving trump card right now, so Ling Yuyan did not want to expose An Yue's existence to anyone unless it was really necessary.

Ling Yuyan gave [Wind Drifting Legs] manual to An Yue, so An Yue could take a look at it first and let her avatar teach Ling Yuyan's avatar in the Dream Space.

Since Jing Weiyuan did not order Ling Yuyan to do anything, and Ling Yuyan also did not dare to enter Jing Weiyuan's courtyard carelessly, she could only remain idle in front of Jing Weiyuan's courtyard.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye...

These few days might be Ling Yuyan's happiest moment since no one dared to come here to harass her when she was acting like a gatekeeper of Jing Weiyuan's courtyard.

Her avatar was trained strictly by An Yue's avatar, and the progress was very rapid.

----------------------------------

[Name: Ling Yuyan]

[Lifespan: 16/59]

[Martial Realm: None]

[Talent: Martial Genius (Gold)]

[Internal Technique: Ebb and Flow Breathing Method (Not Started: 78%)]

[External Technique: Basic Pile Training Techniques (Not Started: 73%)]

[Martial Art: Water Flowing Palm (Not Started: 59%), River Stream Sword Techniques (Not Started: 36%)]

[Spell: None]

[Innate Skill: None]

[Equipment: (Profound Disc of Dual Realities)]

[Plundering Point: 600]

----------------------------------

Ling Yuyan smiled and nodded her head in satisfaction when she saw her current status window.

Ling Yuyan took a peek at her own avatar in the Dream Space and found out that her avatar was currently standing unsteadily on the wooden plank floating on the lake.

Her avatar kept changing her body postures with a painful expression on her face while maintaining a peculiar breathing method.

Her avatar was currently practicing [Ebb and Flow Breathing Method] along with [Basic Pile Training Techniques] from [Water Flowing Palm].

SPLOSSSHH~!

Ling Yuyan's avatar finally could not hold on anymore as the wooden plank on her feet capsized, and she fell into the lake.

An Yue's avatar nodded while saying encouragingly: "Good, Sister Yuyan! You can finally last for half an hour without falling into the lake! Let's keep that up and aim to last one hour!"

Ling Yuyan's avatar groaned in protest as her body had almost reached the limit.

But An Yue's avatar pretended not to hear Ling Yuyan's avatar plea and kept forcing her to practice.

So, what if your avatar practiced until her body fell apart in this Dream Space?! It would not affect her real body in reality! She could just condense another avatar and make that avatar practice again.

In short, any detrimental effect of over-practicing such as hidden injuries, soreness, sickness, and so on would not affect the real body, while all strengthening effects would be synchronized to the real body.

It could be said that this Dream Space was truly an unmatchable divine artifact for practicing martial arts because of this effect.

Ling Yuyan did not mind An Yue's avatar spartan-like training.

She had laid a solid martial foundation thanks to the harsh training from An Yue's avatar. It might not take long for Ling Yuyan to break through and reach the Martial Apprentice realm.

Ling Yuyan thought her progress was already extremely fast, but who knew that An Yue's progress was even more rapid than hers?!

An Yue actually had a breakthrough from Low-Rank Martial Commander to Mid-Rank Martial Commander two days ago!

It was already common knowledge that the higher the martial realm, it should take longer time to breakthrough.

But An Yue just defied this common knowledge by breaking through to a higher realm before Ling Yuyan could even reach the Martial Apprentice realm.

Ling Yuyan did not feel envious or jealous of An Yue at all.

On the contrary, she felt genuinely happy for An Yue since she would become safer if An Yue became stronger.

It would be much better if An Yue could breakthrough to Martial General as soon as possible, or even reach Martial Master realm.

Just when Ling Yuyan thought that she could remain idle like this until she reached the Martial Apprentice realm, one of An Yue's shadow guards went back to bring shocking news to them.

"Sister Yuyan, there are many suspicious people secretly monitoring the Lin Family's manor today." An Yue told to Ling Yuyan.

Ling Yuyan nodded while saying in a grim tone: "I see... So, they will probably assault the Lin Family's manor tonight."

Thanks to An Yue's breakthrough, she could spawn more shadow guards every day.

After a few days passed, the total number of An Yue's shadow guards had actually grown to twenty [2nd Tier Shadow Guards]!

If An Yue did not merge all of them into [2nd Tier Shadow Guards], she would have 100 [1st Tier Shadow Guards]!

But Ling Yuyan and An Yue still decided to merge them into twenty [2nd Tier Shadow Guards], because the 2nd Tier had much better skill sets than the 1st Tier.

------------------------------------------

[2nd Tier Shadow Guard]

[Martial Realm: Low-Rank Martial Warrior]

Martial Arts: Traceless Assassination Blade Techniques (Entering the Room), Silent Wave Steps (Entering the Room), Secret Weapon Throwing (Entry)]

[Spells: Perfect Stealth, Shadow Bind, Lethal Poison Enhancement]

[Equipment: (Shadow Guard's uniform), (Assassination Blades) x2, (Flying Knives) x12, (Hidden Needles) x30]

------------------------------------------

Their strength at Low-Rank Martial Warrior might be a bit too low compared to those assassins, but their combination of [Shadow Bind] spell to control the enemies and [Lethal Poison Enhancement] plus [Secret Weapon Throwing] was truly deadly, and the [1st Tier Shadow Guards] did not have those skill sets yet!

"An Yue, let some of your shadow guards keep watching over the Lin Family's manor. If those assassins start moving, we will also start our plan! An Yue, you will bring me to the exit of that hidden underground passage, and we will wait for Lin Ming Tian to get out from there." Ling Yuyan muttered to An Yue.

At first, An Yue's shadow guards had a lot of difficulties finding the exit of that hidden underground passage since Ling Yuyan's information was too vague.

Luckily, the number of An Yue's shadow guards had grown a lot in these few days, so the efficiency of finding the exit of that hidden underground passage also increased a lot, and they finally managed to find it yesterday night.

"What?! No, Sister Yuyan! This is too dangerous for you!" An Yue hastily rejected Ling Yuyan's idea.

Even the Low-Rank Martial Warrior realm was still a bit too low to join the battle of this scale, not to mention Ling Yuyan had not even reached the Martial Apprentice realm yet.

Ling Yuyan rolled her eyes and tried to explain to An Yue: "An Yue, I also know that I am still too weak, and I will surely become your burden if you take me with you. I cannot explain it clearly to you but I have to be there!"

Well... Mostly because Ling Yuyan did not know yet if her System would be triggered, and if she would get any reward from her System if An Yue was the one who took the [Life Seal Condensing Method] from Lin Ming Tian later.

She only needs 400 Plundering Points to reach 1,000 Plundering Points, and she could use it to pull for another Golden-tier Lottery.

In short, Ling Yuyan did not dare to gamble about that and waste the chance to obtain more Plundering Points, so she had to be the one who got the [Life Seal Condensing Method] from Lin Ming Tian later!

An Yue was very frustrated at Ling Yuyan's insistence, so she did not have any more choice other than to grant Ling Yuyan's wish.

Ling Yuyan was very restless and nervous today. Thankfully, she did not need to do anything since Jing Weiyuan was too busy to secretly arrange tonight's assault on the Lin Family's manor.

If she was still working under Wang Qingling, she would definitely make a lot of mistakes in her work today and be punished heavily by Wang Qingling.

I am sorry for a few days of absence. I have a slight fever and cold, so I need to take rest. (TwT) But I will try to release chapters steadily every day.
