Chapter 9

Here's the translation of the provided passage into English:

Fuerli and the others have been gone for almost half a month now, and it's already late August. During this time, Xiaojie's schedule was packed due to his talent in almost all elemental skills. Therefore, Master Yuandun developed a systematic training plan for Xiaojie. According to Master Yuandun, although Xiaojie can learn all skills, one should not be greedy; there should be a focus. So, Master Yuandun selected several reasonable combinations of skills from various professions to teach Xiaojie.

In Xiaojie's learning skills, they include Daoist skills: Healing Art (healing and restoring vitality), Soul Shield (magic defense), God's Shield (physical defense), Dispelling Art (detoxification and alleviating adverse reactions), Demon Subduing Divine Light (powerful against creatures from other realms, especially those with evil aura), and Strengthening Blessing Art (enhances both physical and magic attacks and has defensive capabilities).

Magic skills: Flame Punishment, Wind Punishment, Aurora Splash (single-target attack), Frost Roar, Flying Rock Walk, Water-Fire Collision (group attack), Soul Prayer (rapid mana recovery when mana is depleted).

Swordsmanship skills: Besides what Master Wang taught Xiaojie about manipulating sword qi with elemental power, Master Yuandun taught Xiaojie skills like Qi Barrier (physical and magical defense using one's true qi), Qi Light Wave (versatile single-target and area attack, depending on the user's ability and intent), Heavenly Light Sword Shot (emits sword qi from the eyes, with excellent attack concealment).

Master Yuandun truly deserves to be called a great sage. When he learned that Xiaojie possessed three potential skills, he helped Xiaojie strengthen and adjust them. Xiaojie once used a group lightning attack to kill Jia Minglai and its two companions, a magic skill called Thunder God's Might. This is a coverage-type group attack magic exceeding level six. Generally, large-scale magic beyond level six is considered taboo magic against natural forces, but Xiaojie, having never learned incantations, could not fully utilize its power. However, as Master Yuandun suggested, it should not be modified or enhanced, allowing Xiaojie to cast it quickly. There are also two large-scale magic skills, one being Heavenly River Roar and the other Frozen Sea. Frozen Sea is extremely domineering, capable of freezing all objects within several square meters instantaneously, then exploding them into shards. After Master Yuandun taught Xiaojie the corresponding incantations, this skill became a true taboo magic. Master Yuandun warned Xiaojie never to use it casually, as the destructive power of violating natural laws is too great, and using it without protection is dangerous. Because when you chant the incantation, all elemental power condenses, preventing the release of other magic. Xiaojie also understands this truth very well. Heavenly River Roar is a magic skill with environmental restrictions; it can only be used in areas with sufficient water sources. Master Yuandun taught Xiaojie the corresponding incantations to transform this skill from an offensive magic into a summoning magic. As long as there is sufficient water source, Xiaojie can summon extremely powerful water giants to assist in battle, summoning up to four water giants at a time, each with a height of ten meters and reasonable agility.

Of course, no one can rely solely on their potential to use magic limitlessly and automatically improve their own level. Master Yuandun also taught Xiaojie a kind of sacred prayer spell. This spell is a method of cultivation that connects one's own abilities with the source of universal energy by silently praying, very practical. Master Yuandun also specially compiled the things Xiaojie learned into a handwritten book and gave it to Xiaojie, which deeply moved Xiaojie.

Xiaojie settled down here for more than half a month. With Master Wang and Elder Lin Kenan accompanying him, the days were not boring. Another day passed, and Xiaojie practiced diligently. After dinner, Xiaojie took a shower and returned to his room, lying down. Tang Xiaojie lay on the bed, picked up a pocket watch from the bedside. It's a very old-fashioned pocket watch, but the entire watch and chain are made of a unique metal from the five-dimensional space, dense white gold. There are also soft elemental fluctuations on the watch body. This pocket watch was given to him by Fuerli before she left. Apart from telling the time, its real function is a space key. It can open the door of space, allowing Xiaojie to travel back and forth between the three-dimensional world of humans and the five-dimensional world, with a cooldown time of 24 hours. Xiaojie remembered the conversation with Fuerli before she left: "Xiaojie, I asked Master Yuandun to calculate our fate. The hexagram says we are destined but separated, but as long as you and I are willing, our fate will continue." At that time, Fuerli's charming appearance and hopeful eyes almost made Xiaojie decide to return to the five-dimensional space with her. But when Xiaojie hesitated, he thought of Yue Nannan. Eventually, Xiaojie stayed. He couldn't make any promises to Fuerli. He thought of Yue Nannan again, what is she doing now? How is she? In the chaotic thoughts, Xiaojie gradually fell asleep.

Although it's still very hot in late August, the mornings and evenings are much cooler. In Laoshan, Shandong, it may not be very noticeable, but at the foot of Qianshan Mountain in Anshan, Liaoning, the slight change in weather can already be felt. Yue Nannan woke up early, as usual, ever since Xiaojie followed Master Wang away, she has been getting up early every day. Perhaps it's a habit developed since childhood. She can be truly considered as an early bird. Stretching her muscles in the morning, practicing some punches, adjusting her breath, and absorbing the rising elemental power. It's because of this persistence over the past decade or so that Yue Nannan has her current skills and achievements. It's what earned her the title of a goddess recognized within the circle. However, now her morning routine has added one more item: staring into space at the end, thinking about the girl's concerns.

Until past eight o'clock, Yue Nannan's morning exercises were considered complete. She moved a chair from the yard to rest. Just as she sat down for less than a moment, the courtyard door was pushed open. A tall and familiar figure appeared in the beauty's sight, accompanied by a young man about 1.75 meters tall.

"Zhuzi, why are you here? And Dawei, you two seem to never partner together. How come you're together now?" Yue Nannan stood up from her seat and said to Zhuzi and the young man.

Before Zhuzi could speak, Dawei spoke first: "There's no choice. I'm here to take over your watch. So, I came with him. Otherwise, I don't like being with him. Wherever this big guy goes, he's the most attractive. I feel like a supporting role next to him. Pack up, Zhuzi will
