After stabilizing her cultivation Ah Chun left the bedroom and went to find Mei Liling to say goodbye to her. This was going to be the first time Ah Chun was going out for real training. If she was not careful she could end up losing her life. Ah Chun first went to the alchemy room but did not see MeI Liling, so she headed out to the main hall. Mei Liling was in the main hall sitting in her chair reading a scroll.
"Mother Chun'er is going to head out now..." Ah Chun said as she started to get teary-eyed.
"Chun'er be careful. If Chun'er feels like the situation is bad and you will not be able to win just runaway. There is no shame in running away as long as Chun'er is able to stay alive. Chun'er will be able to learn where Chun'er went wrong and use that for future fights. Start off fighting the ranked one and two demonic beasts first before you try any higher-ranked demonic beast. When Chun'er needs to ask a question or just wants to talk, Chun'er can contact Mother with your transmission stone. After six months Mother will come to get Chun'er. " Mei Liling said after she got out of her seat and pulled Ah Chun into her embrace.
"Un! Chun'er will be careful. Chun'er will come back strong! " Ah Chun gave Mei Liling a tight hug before running out the door.
"I hope everything goes ok." Mei Liling watched the small figure running off and couldn't help but sigh.
Mei Liling was really worried for Ah Chun but Mei Liling knew that this was all for Ah Chun to grow stronger. Real-life combat was something Ah Chun needed right now. Especially since she was going to be joining her Sect. Sighing once more, Mei Liling walked out the door towards the Village Chief's house.
Although the forest that Ah Chun was heading to was a place she has been to many, many times before. It was an expansive forest that was situated in the Desolate Mountain Range. Although the outer zone of the forest was relatively safe, the most inner section of the forest was a different story. The inner zone was ten times the size of both the outer and middle zones and it covered ninety percent of the Desolate Mountain Range. When Ah Chun came out of the cave after first meeting Mei Liling they came out by the edge of the inner zone. This meant that they were not in the most dangerous part of the forest.
"This brings back memories... " Ah Chun had quickly reached the entrance of the forest.
"Mother, Chun'er will do her best to make you proud. Chun'er will survive the next six months and will come back stronger! " Ah Chun's eyes had a look of resolution in them.
Ah Chun took out her sword from her interspatial ring and attached it to her waist. She then proceeded into the forest. She walked down the same path that she had taken the years before. But this time she was not here to hunt for wild vegetables but to hunt for demonic beasts to practice fighting with. Ah Chun's current goal was to quickly enter the middle zone and start off with rank one and two demonic beasts.
It only took around fifteen minutes to get to the outer edge of the middle zone. But once she arrived Ah Chun found it strange that everything was eerily quiet once again. This reminded her of the day she had met Mei Liling.
"If I'm not wrong it is most likely the same demonic beast as before, the Wind Chasing Tiger. If that is the case it seems like my first life or death battle will be a lot harder than I had planned." Although last time Ah Chun was scared to death of the Wind Chasing Tiger. That was not the case now though.
After going through training for a year with Mei Liling and learning that her life was on the line every day due to her vow to the Heavens and Earths. Ah Chun was no longer the same little girl she was a year ago. Ah Chun's attitude towards things had drastically changed. Mei Liling had taught Ah Chun that one must always have the courage to survive as an immortal cultivator. Not just to always put one's life on the line but to also know when to retreat. But this was not one of those times. Mei Liling had advised Ah Chun that she could fight up to rank six demonic beasts but that she should start off with lower-ranked demonic beasts. But if the unexpected happened and she ran into a rank higher then originally planned. Then there was not much she can do but fight.
With a thought, Ah Chun sent out her divine sense and scanned the area around her in a one thousand meters radius. As she scanned she finally caught a glimpse of her stalker. It was in fact the same Wind Chasing Tiger. The reasons she knew it was the same was because she would never forget the pattern on its chest. It was shaped in the shape of a lightning bolt.
"Humph, you think you can sneak up on me. This little aunt will show you a good time!" Ah Chun unsheathed her sword and in an instant disappeared.
She was so fast that the Wind Chasing Tiger who was stalking Ah Chun. Even lost sight of her. During the year that Ah Chun was being trained by Mei Liling, Mei Liling did not go easy on her. Mei Lilings attack speed would gradually get faster every training session. This was so Ah Chun could learn to move as quickly as possible. Not only did her dodge speed increase but her overall speed had increased. That was mainly due to the fact that by the end of the year Mei Liling was attacking with her full force. The two of them would be flickering here and there as they fought. Appearing in one place then disappear just to appear tens of meters away. Not to mention Ah Chun had to learn to move this quickly under the pressure of a Two Dao Root Cultivator. So it was not strange for a rank five demonic beast to lose track of Ah Chun.
