Time flowed quickly, a week had already passed on planet Hafari since Leon started his combat training with Bai Quing.
This Afternoon, Leon was busy training the Three Worlds folding art in the courtyard of Quin Xuxu's house.
His Master wasn't home and his Senior sister didn't come to teach him today for some reason, Leon used this chance to go farm exp from the disciples before returning to train.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
"Yiha!"
Leon danced around the courtyard, sending slaps and punches in the air while dashing around in mastered movements; he was training as if he was fighting an invisible opponent who kept blocking his attacks.
Leon's body was covered in sweat; his long white hair danced around in the air and sent small drops of sweat flying.
He looked dashing under the moonlight that any girl would instantly find themselves falling in love at the sight of him, most girls, actually.
But none of these mattered to Leon; his expression was serious, and his gaze was sharp as he moved with great focus.
He could feel the heat burning within his body, his origin Shi was flowing through his meridians at a fast pace; the heat kept building up, and Leon's movements became faster and faster, and he was almost leaving afterimages in the courtyard.
Suddenly, a small explosion popped within him and a great wave of energy rushed through his body.
Leon felt his body suddenly filled with strength, and he felt incredibly energized; his senses changed, and he could sense things that he couldn't feel before.
The feeling was very novel and pleasing, Leon didn't stop and continued to move according to the Three Worlds folding art even faster.
Swoosh!!
He suddenly punched out in the direction of the three and a strange scene played out. His original Shi within his body moved through his meridians and flowed toward his fist while the natural Shi in the air was drawn to his fist as well; both sources of Shi worked together and sent an illusionary fist wave that flew toward the single tree in the middle of the courtyard.
Pah!
Although weak and almost like a gust of wind, the illusionary fist smashed into the tree and caused some of its petals to fall off their branches.
Leon paused in that posture, trying to regulate his breathing as his heart pounded heavily and released blood into his body at a crazy speed.
After a few seconds of staying in that position, Leon finally stood up straight; he looked at the hand that he had punched with, folding and unfolding his fingers repeatedly.
A delighted grin soon appeared on his face.
"Yes, finally level 3!" Leon placed both hands on his waist and laughed into the air.
He had finally reached level 3 of martial arts after a month and a week of coming to planet Hafari; his speed of breaking through would make many people pull their hair in jealousy.
Of course, this had been possible because of the blood pill that Quin Xuxu had given him. If he had to rely on just himself, it might have taken him an extra week or two, maybe even a month!
Rubbing his nose in satisfaction, Leon nodded his head repeatedly as he lost himself in the new feeling.
After reaching level 3 on planet Hafari, one would be able to feel the natural Shi in the air and will be able to absorb it to assist their original Shi.
This way, they would be able to get the required amount of Shi for the next breakthrough since the body could not generate the absurd amount of Shi to reach the next level.
Leon closed his eyes and let his senses sink into his surroundings.
He felt the Shi in the air around him; it was thin, but it was there, and he could reach for it with a thought.
Moving his attention from the Shi in the air, Leon let his senses cover his surroundings.
He was able to feel the area of ten meters around him.
Even with his eyes closed, he could make a vague outline of the petals around the tree in the middle of the courtyard, the insect that was flying seven meters away from him, and an ant that was crawling under the sand just a few meters away.
His senses had heightened and he was now like a true cultivator!
Leon's eyes opened and his blue eyes flashed with brilliance.
"A month and a week, I wonder how much time had passed back in Eldora. How's Shishi doing and what she did with my body…I don't even know if my physical body is still with her or if I came here with it," Leon sighed.
Deciding not to think about it, Leon grabbed his shirt and left the courtyard.
Unlike before when he usually walked all the way to the stream, Leon used a different method this time to test his new strength.
With a leap, he jumped and landed on the roof of the house lightly; he felt like a feather.
" This is awesome!" Leon laughed before jumping outside from the roof, he didn't stop there and jumped to a tree before jumping to another tree. His sleep was fast as he leaped from one tree branch to another, he soon reached the stream in Just a minute time.
"I usually take more than ten minutes to walk here, but I can now do it in just one minute; this feeling is great!" Leon remark.
He quickly took off his clothes and jumped into the stream.
A few minutes later, Leon was already done bathing and was on his way back to Quin Xuxu's house.
He didn't jump on trees this time and simply walked in slow steps with his hands folded behind his waist, he had the demeanor of a true expert as he walked with his chin up.
Reaching the house, Leon was stunned to see two people outside the courtyard.
They were his Master and Senior sister! Quin Xuxu and Bai Quing.
They had returned after disappearing for a whole day.
Leon immediately abandoned his posture and ran to the two before greeting them warmly.
"Master, Senior sister" he cupped his fist and bowed.
Quin Xuxu smiled gently at the sight of Leon, her eyes showing a tender shine. Bai Quing only nodded silently before her expression suddenly changed and her eyebrows raised.
"You reached level 3 already?!" She gasped, looking at Leon as if he was a monster. Wasn't he said to have reached level 2 just a month ago? How could he have reached level 3 so quickly? It hadn't even been 2 months yet!
I've only trained you for a week and you went ahead to break through? What is the meaning of this?!
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Master's kindness," Leon said politely while throwing a fast wink at Quin Xuxu.
Quin Xuxu blushed slightly and returned a smile, she looked proud of herself.
" What, Master? What does she have to do with this?" Bai Quing looked at Quin Xuxu in confusion, seemingly not noticing what was happening between the two.
"I gave him a blood-cleansing pill a week ago," Quin Xuxu responded casually.
"What?! A blood cleansing pill? That thing cost over a hundred thousand gold coins, you gave it to him when he's already so talented?!" Bai Quing yelped, startled by what she just heard.
