Days turned to weeks and weeks to months.
Just like that, five months passed as Yun Che had started his training.
During these months, Yun Che realized something—he hated training! To be more precise, he hated cultivation. Sitting and meditation while absorbing profound energy was something that Yun Che found absolutely boring! So boring that at one point, he was already thinking of leaving this forest and enter some civilization.
The worst part of it was that his skill [Energy Absorption] didn't help him right now! He only realized after he started training that in Elementary Profound Realm, he was using his own vitality to nature's profound veins. Only after leaving Elementary Profound Realm should he be able to absorb the vitality of Heaven and Earth!
And even if he indeed had skill to fasten the absorb of his vitality, he would die right away! As such, the first state of cultivation was a boring process for him. He could only grumble at the fact that the Heavenly Burning Clan still hasn't sent elders to kill the dragon.
At one point, he even started to wonder if they would even come or not.
'Even though it's boring, at least someone is impressed.'
Yun Che muttered seeing the floating red-head some distance away from him. She would come out of the pearl from time to time and observe his training.
One thing about Satou's System was that it came with certain… unique skills which were given to him. One of them which allowed him to learn ANY skill used around him. So when Jasmine came out so frequently, his system ended up qualifying some stuff as skill for him.
For example—Flight and Astral Projection. Though the second one sounded quite useless, Yun Che elevated to see the first one.
Flight, in this world, was the privilege skill for those who had entered Sky Profound Realm. Before that, one had to use Profound Beasts to fly through the sky. Yun Che had never thought he would be able to get his hand on it so fast!
The only problem with the skill was the fact that he didn't have any energy to use it. Except for hovering above ground for some second, he couldn't do anything.
But the act of him hovering above ground within Elementary Realm alone was enough to baffle Jasmine out of her mind. She started to question her own common sense at that point.
And since he also didn't have any valid answer for her confusion, he just played it as "he felt like he could" bullcrap. Though confused and suspicious, Jasmine could only nod at it.
Today was just another day within Yun Che's training life. After constant training for five months, Yun Che's strength had reached Fourth Elementary Profound Realm. With his current speed, it would take him about another half a year to reach Nascent Profound Realm.
Just thinking of it made Yun Che cringe hard.
"What are you doing making weird faces out in the open?" Jasmine, who flew beside him, asked confused. She really was starting to question his mental health.
"Nothing. I just realized that cultivation is boring." Yun Che answered, confusing Jasmine further. "Like, honestly, how can you spend all your time meditating, absorbing the vitality of heavens and earth just to raise a single level. Isn't it boring? Why hasn't anyone ever thought of a way to increase the speed of cultivation?"
Jasmine looked at Yun Che with a disgusted expression and said.
"This princess had some doubts, but now this princess is sure that you have something amiss within your mind."
Yun Che's brow twitched at being called retard while Jasmine continued.
"If cultivation was easy, there would have been no mortal in this world. The fact that there are mortals itself explains why it is difficult. If becoming strong was so easy, I wouldn't have been in the current situation to begin with!"
Yun Che, like a tactical person he was, decided to retreat the moment he saw Jasmine's face morphing into pure displeasure and irritation.
Just then, his eyes landed on the five people flying in the sky, making their way towards the peak of the mountain range. This caused Yun Che's eye to open wide and an excited expression apparead over his face.
"There it is!"
His sudden exclamation stunned Jasmine as she looked towards him and asked.
"What happened? Why are you shouting suddenly?"
"Ah, you won't understand! The wait is over, finally!" Yun Che answered before he started to run towards the peak of the mountain range while loudly calling Jasmine. "Come! It's time to leave this boring ass place!"
'Did he finally lose it?' Confused, the red-head could only silently follow him.
Soon, Yun Che reached the peak of the mountain range and hid himself in a bush, waiting for the elders to drag the dragon out of his nest.
—Skill [Stealth] has been learned!
'Nice!'
Yun Che maxed it out right away. In the current situation, he needed stealth the most. And since now he had it max, he doubted that the situation same as the original would arise this time.
"That… This princess is impressed. To think this low-level world would be able to produce an Emperor Profound Realm True Dragon." Jasmine said, surprised.
"Is it that surprising?" Yun Che questioned.
Jasmine shook her head.
"No, it's not. Just, the place you are currently is highly sacrace in profound energy. To give birth to a True Dragon like him, it would take a lot more than what is present in the atmosphere."
"Oh."
"Yes, so the only possible answer this princess can think of is that he must have had a fortune encounter that changed his life." She looked at the entrance of the cave and said. "There might be a good treasure within his nest."
'Oh you have no idea…' Yun Che thought inwardly while watching the elders gathering and creating a formation above in the sky.
"Though, let this princess ask this of you…" Jasmine's eyes narrowed and she looked down at Yun Che. "You aren't planning to rob it, are you?"
Seeing the smirk on his face, Jasmine's eyes widened in shock as she hurriedly said.
"Have you lost your mind?! With your current strength, you are asking for a quick death if you think you can rob the abode of that dragon! You will die before even understanding how!"
Of course, since her life was connected to him, she won't just let him die. But that didn't mean she wouldn't stop him either. Her body still contained the poison, and using her power only added to increase its intensity. If she could, she would rather not use her powers until she fully nullified the poison.
"You worry too much, Jasmine." Yun Che answered her with a smirk as he took a pellet out of the Sky Poison Pearl.
Seeing confused Jasmine, Yun Che raised the pill towards her and asked with a smirk.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Do you want this princess to break your legs?"
"Ahem!" Yun Che coughed feeling sudden change in Jasmine's temperament and hurriedly explained. "No, it's the Star Concealing Pill!"
Jasmine's eyes widened in astonishment at the mention of Star Concealing Pill. She couldn't believe such a pill, which was rare even in God Realm, existed on this mortal planet!
It only took her a second to realize what Yun Che was planning, and to be fair, she thought he had a fair chance of getting True Dragon's treasure from within the cave with the help of Star Concealing Pill. With its ability to grant one true invisibility, though for a certain amount of time, should be enough to rob True Dragon's adobe!
