Two weeks later...
Tang Yin immediately dodged Huang Feifei's scepter attack narrowly and immediately threw a strong punch from the bottom towards her abdomen, which was avoided by Huang Feifei moving a little to the right and after avoiding it, she quickly moved her left leg to the front to stopped straight and sent a strong punch using her scepter as if it was part of her right arm, the punch was right towards Tang Yin's face.
Just then, Tang Yin smiled under his bandages. He felt proud of that attack but still easily countered it by moving the bamboo in his other hand to the front, making the tip of the scepter collide with the tip of the bamboo.
As soon as he did this, he moved the hand holding the bamboo sharply to the left to deflect the attack.
This caused Huang Feifei to immediately put more force into her attack, but Tang Yin had already deflected it enough, so as soon as he sensed that she was putting force into the attack, Tang Yin let go of the bamboo, causing Huang Feifei to frown a little, somewhat confused.
Tang Yin then used that moment of bewilderment on Huang Feifei to quickly approach her and throw a strong blow that couldn't be avoided towards her chest.
*SWOSH*
Just before he hit her, he stopped.
She then stepped back and smiled somewhat embarrassedly at him.
--"I'm sorry... I keep making the same mistake." She said, and Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders.
--"That's already a big improvement. You were able to fight on par with me for 30 minutes in martial arts, at the beginning you couldn't even last 1 minute, feel proud of your achievement. Also, your scepter handling has improved, which makes me happy. It's just that you're not understanding all the forms of fighting that exist." Tang Yin said with a calm smile.
Then he bent down to grab a small broken wooden stick to write something on the ground.
--"Remember, Feifei. If you are at a disadvantage, you must play with the opponent's mind, understand? Physically, I am not stronger than you, because, no matter how you contain your spiritual energy, it is still within you and strengthens your muscles. If I were to receive a frontal attack coming from you, I would die 100% of the time, you know that, right?" Tang Yin said and looked at her a little.
She nodded.
Then he continued.
--"That's why I don't usually attack you head-on unless I see the opportunity, but in order to see that opportunity, I must create it. This is why you must think quickly of possible mental attacks that I can use to create this opportunity, and I am not talking about illusions or other spiritual powers that affect the mind."
--"I am referring to small movements that may cause bewilderment in your mind. These are also mental attacks because they can leave you in confusion for a second and this second is vital in a battle. If you think about that, you could surely counter me because you are faster than me and you will also learn how to create these attacks." Tang Yin talked quite a bit while recreating a similar small scene on Earth.
Huang Feifei listened to him attentively and nodded at everything he said while keeping Tang Yin's every word in her mind.
He then nodded.
--"Go get ready, let's go out." Tang Yin said after explaining that to her, and she looked at him in confusion.
--"Where are we going? They already brought you the money for the pills and so on..." She spoke confused.
Did they have any responsibility? She thought in confusion.
Tang Yin smiled at her as he stared at her.
--"You reached the Ninth Level 1 week ago, so we're going to get your second Spiritual Bone. Also, this one you're going to get on your own, so prepare well. I'll be waiting for you." Tang Yin said with a calm smile and turned to leave.
When Huang Feifei heard that they were going to get their second Spiritual Bone, she was immediately happy, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. Without wasting any time, she went to get ready to go hunting.
For her, and perhaps for any cultivator, there is nothing more beautiful than going to get the spiritual bones because it means that her hard work has paid off.
During this time, she not only managed to reach the Ninth Level of the Spiritual Entry Realm. But she also built a strong foundation, and although it still needed to be perfected, it was still very good.
In fact, at present, if she faced other people, she should be able to easily beat people in the First Level of the Third Realm.
Because her spiritual energy management, handling of her spiritual weapon, and martial arts have improved remarkably.
Tang Yin was proud of her for this…
Soon, she finished grooming herself, and they left the city shortly after and entered the closest spiritual forest to the city, which is a rather large spirit forest controlled by the empire.
They don't have such powerful Beasts, but there are enough 1,500-year-old ones. It's just that, in order to hunt here, you must pay a high amount depending on the beast you want to hunt.
For example, this time Tang Yin told Huang Feifei that he should hunt a 1,500-2,000-year-old beast, which cost him 1,500-2,000 spiritual gold coins.
That's pretty cheap, at least for him.
Although he could have gotten it for free if he used the token Jun Xilei had given Huang Feifei since it's free for Imperial Academy students.
But well, anyway, it's cheap, so he didn't complain.
Soon, both of them were inside the Spiritual Forest.
Tang Yin was trailing behind looking at the way Huang Feifei was searching for her spiritual beast.
'...Hm, it already knows which one should hunt, so I shouldn't worry...' Tang Yin thought as trailed behind, watching Huang Feifei at every step.
They had agreed that, once inside the forest, they would not talk to each other, so they said nothing and simply walked behind each other, with a considerable distance between them.
In that way, several hours passed while Huang Feifei prowled around the area of the 1,500-year-old beasts.
She had seen many beasts, but none interesting to her.
Basically, she was looking for some Hawk like the one from last time, some Air Attribute Killer Snake (which is extremely rare), or a certain mythical Air Attribute beast, which is almost impossible to get in a forest like this: Great Spiritual Eaves.
It is a giant beast that is rarely seen, even within the Spiritual Forests.
In fact, Tang Yin knows that in this place it is impossible to get any of those because Spiritual Eaves of any attribute are not in Artificial Spiritual Forests like this one.
They are only in the great natural spiritual forests because that is their natural habitat.
Just as Tang Yin thought that he heard a sound in the distance and quickly focused his gaze.
'Oh, the same Hawk, but it's small...' Tang Yin thought. Huang Feifei also noticed it, but seeing that it was small, she didn't think anything of it.
Thus, it was soon about to fall night again... But, to her bad luck, night fell, and she found nothing. The first day no luck.
The second day...
She spent the whole day searching and searching and had no luck either.
It was normal, so they were both patients. Finding those two beasts that time on the first try was something rarely seen, usually the hunts are like this time.
Slow, unless you're looking for Collection Bones, but this time they're going for Main Bones.
So...
Day three passed...
And soon, on the fourth day...
Tang Yin jumped on top of a tree, and it was just the moment when Huang Feifei stomped hard and quickly took out her spiritual scepter, slamming it hard to the ground.
Then a small yellow array like a broken ring, coiled on her right arm as it glowed yellow.
Just then, several attacks came from a specific place from a dead point of Huang Feifei. They came like daggers created by the wind and were about to hit her...
