--- Chapter 6 ---
The next day, Northwest Wilderness.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Sun Yi wields a peak Earth-grade Enchanted Battle Knife gifted by his mother and faces several low-level wild beasts. Wilderness Lizards are known for living in groups, and he used them as training partners.
Lu Xia stood nearby, stroking Rakh and Azure's furs. The Night Wolf and Azure Tiger are happily enjoying her rubs.
"Your Highness."
"The foundation of every Qi Master is their Qi Breathing Technique."
"You must be able to start breathing in all conceivable scenarios. There is a saying that Qi Masters only stopped using Qi Breathing Technique in their deaths."
"From now on, you must run your Qi Breathing Technique all the time and maintain control over your Blood Qi. Make it part of your daily routine."
"Okay..." Sun Yi warily looked at the wild beasts and ran the Northern Qi Breathing Technique. The coolness washed his body immediately.
Lu Xia smiled and continued, "Now, you don't have combat experience, but you have Sirius's Bloodline in your body. As long as you can activate it, you will have an inherent instinct to help you fight."
"However, don't rely too much on your instinct because someone will take advantage of it sooner or later."
Roar!
A wilderness lizard pounced at Sun Yi, swinging its claw.
Sun Yi felt a sensation, and his dynamic vision increased, allowing him to see the wilderness lizard's claw in slow motion. He dodged to the left by instinct, and the claw missed.
"Woah!" Sun Yi looked at the wilderness lizard in awe.
Lu Xia nodded, "As expected of the Sixth Prince, your Sirius's bloodline is purer than half of the princes. The only problem is that you never tried to develop it."
"Feel your soft skin brush against the air, move your leg vigorously, and experience your blood pumping in the fight."
"Wilderness lizards are only low-level wild beasts, and a non-Qi Master could kill them. Their weakness is the neck area, which has no scale due to their respiration organ being close to it."
"Got it." Sun Yi listened to Lu Xia's words and clashed with the wilderness lizard.
The wilderness lizard missed Sun Yi, but then he was surrounded by three more of them.
Even with Sun Yi's instinct, he couldn't dodge them all.
Bam!
A wilderness lizard slammed Sun Yi's shoulder.
Sun Yi groaned in pain and circulated his Blood Qi on the damaged area, using the Sirius Titanium Body's training method.
"Continue!"
Lu Xia watched Sun Yi struggling against multiple enemies and patiently waited for him to gain enough combat experience. Soon, he'd be able to counterattack the wilderness lizards.
Sun Yi felt sore all over his body. His body was beaten black and blue in some areas, bruised due to the wild beast's attack.
Sometimes, he would get scratched.
Sometimes, he would get slammed.
Sometimes, he would get bitten.
Yet Sun Yi never fell to the ground because he knew everything would be over as soon as he fell. He would never give these damned lizards the satisfaction.
At the same time, wilderness lizards are also bewildered by Sun Yi's resilience.
This human is something else.
If there is one personality that kept Sun Yi from going insane, then it would be his stubbornness.
Before he got transmigrated into Primal Qi World, Sun Yi would have a street fight every two days against another university student.
They might be bigger or stronger than him, but Sun Yi would fight them, even if he lost.
Sun Yi looked at his trembling hand holding the Enchanted Battle Knife and clenched hard.
The trembling stopped.
Adrenaline shot into Sun Yi's stream.
"What a bully..." Sun Yi breathed more efficiently, and his heart beat rapidly.
Sun Yi pounced on the wilderness lizard this time, using his body weight to slam the wild beast down.
Roar!
Stab!
He stomped the wilderness lizard's head and stabbed its neck with his knife, drawing out the warm green liquid.
Roar!
Looking at their fallen comrade, the wilderness lizards roared at Sun Yi furiously and charged at him.
Sun Yi pulled his knife and clenched his free hand into a fist, punching one of the lizards.
Bam!
Slash!
He sliced the lizard's neck and went for another.
Sun Yi is like a madman, attacking everything that comes toward him with passion. A grin bloomed on his face as he finished the last wilderness lizards.
He stood amidst the bloody ground and stared at the bright blue sky, sighing in relief.
"Phew..." White mist escaped Sun Yi's mouth.
"Damn it!" Sun Yi felt the adrenaline rush was over and dropped to the ground with a painful groan. He was tired and fell asleep on the spot.
Lu Xia caught Sun Yi and looked at his new appearance, 'Who would have thought the Lazy Sixth Prince to have this much guts? His Highness will make a grand comeback in a few years.'
'I'm sure of it. The Sixth Prince's talent is even stronger than the Crown Prince!'
Unfortunately for Lu Xia, Sun Yi wouldn't show his ability to the public because he wanted to live peacefully.
He trained to become Qi Master because staying weak in the cultivation world is a sin!
So, being lowkey needs strength.
If possible, Sun Yi wanted to create his own force so he could laze around and do other things, like gathering harems.
...
One hour later.
Sun Yi woke up and felt someone hugging him from behind.
The scenery of a moving mountain greeted Sun Yi, and a frown appeared on his face because a mountain shouldn't move.
No, he was the one moving.
"You're awake, Your Highness?" Lu Xia's voice brushed Sun Yi's ears.
Sun Yi's eyes were wide awake as he turned around and saw Lu Xia staring at him.
"This..."
Lu Xia put on a solemn look and explained, "After you fainted, I cleaned you up and continued our journey. I hope my body is comfortable to your liking because Rakh moved too much."
"I-I..." Sun Yi doesn't know what to say. He could feel Lu Xia's proud mountains pressed against his back, supporting him.
Lu Xia giggled, "Let me ride Azure. Even though Rakh can support two people, his stamina would drop faster."
"Okay." Sun Yi dumbly nodded.
They stopped by a willow tree, and Lu Xia dropped off Rakh, giving the wolf a few pats. After that, Lu Xia rode her Azure Tiger and continued their journey to the east border.
Even then, Sun Yi could smell Lu Xia's lingering scents behind him.
It was intoxicating.
Sun Yi couldn't help but sigh because he would develop feelings for his maid at this point. It's not necessarily a bad thing because they are already close in the first place.
Two months is enough to know someone's character, especially when you live under the same roof.
After six more hours, they finally arrived at the first human settlement in the Northwest Wilderness.
It was a small city called Earth Hunting City, with over twenty thousand people living inside the reinforced walls. Nearly all of them are Qi Masters, too.
"Your Highness, I've changed our clothes to hide our identity." Lu Xia said while walking to the Earth Hunting City's entrance. "You can call me Xia as usual, but do you want to change how I should call you?"
"Of course, this is temporary." She added with a mild expression, but not so calm inner self.
Sun Yi nodded in understanding, "Then, call me Brother Yi from now on."
"I will call you Sister Xia."
'B-Brother... I see, so Your Highness likes to play like this.' Lu Xia seems to misunderstand Sun Yi's intention.
With that in mind, Sun Yi and Lu Xia entered the Earth Hunting City and booked an inn for tonight. They explored the city and found that there would be a duel between a well-known young genius and an unknown black horse.
"Do you want to check it, Your-! I mean, Brother Yi?" Lu Xia fixed her manner of talking. Her voice filled with intimacy.
"Mm, let's go." Sun Yi agreed right away.
They went to the city's center and saw an arena with two youths standing against each other. The first youth is a young man in a green robe, and the other is a young woman in a blue dress.
They are around Sun Yi's age, but their cultivation has reached 3rd level of Spiritual Realm.
'Am I that weak?' Sun Yi rubbed his chin in wonder.
Lu Xia observed the two youths and commented, "The young man should be from Broken Moon Sect. As for the young woman, I don't think I've seen that dress uniform before."
"Who do you think will win?" Sun Yi asked out of curiosity.
Lu Xia thoughtfully observed the fight and replied, "The young man."
Sun Yi smiled, "Then, let's bet, Sister Xia."
"I'm betting that the young woman would win this duel."
"Eh?" Lu Xia was baffled by his choice.
She didn't know Sun Yi had a Potential Value Scanner.
Although the green-clothed young man's potential value and aura are above average, which was 95,000, and the ax-shaped yellow aura. The blue-dressed young woman's potential value is 169,000.
Not to mention, her potential aura is bright blue and shaped like a mighty blue-flamed phoenix!
