"Wow... the spiritual energy here is incredibly abundant, almost twice as potent as outside," I murmured to myself.

"For now, let's not waste any time... let's focus on my training."

…..

Without further ado, I positioned myself in the middle of the cave, sitting with my legs crossed. My intention was to heal myself from the previous encounter with Sa Wei.

Although I had already made significant progress in my recovery, there were still some minor wounds and scratches scattered across my body.

With utmost concentration, I fully utilized my quadruple physique with my innate ability. Gradually, the surrounding spiritual energy converged and connected with my body, facilitating my healing process. After dedicating 30 minutes, I was completely healed.

….

After fully recovering, I took a deep breath, feeling a surge of energy coursing through me. "Now it's time for the main event," I exclaimed eagerly, while scratching my head. My goal was to enhance my skill proficiency, allowing me to further increase my strength.

With that in mind, I began my practice session.

Utilizing all of my skills to their fullest extent, I relied on the guidance of my forbidden pupil of the eye. I focused intensely, as if merging with my own body, steadily improving my proficiency with each passing minute.

I started by employing my blink technique, enhancing my movement, and then proceeded to gather my qi on my hands and feet, akin to a blade. Additionally, I utilized my recently developed berserk skill, which I had acquired during my battle with Sa Wei.

Every minute, I moved with incredible speed and precision like crazily. If anyone were to witness my training, they would undoubtedly be astonished. Each of my movements carried the aura of a blade, capable of effortlessly slicing through anyone within my reach.

I trained tirelessly for nearly an hour, leaving me completely exhausted. After taking a 30-minute break to recuperate, I stood up and resumed my intense training for another hour, once again pushing myself to the limit.

"Phew... this is intense," I exhaled in and out,

I have a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes available at the moment. Without any hesitation, I proceeded to sit with my legs crossed at the center of the cave. Opening my pouch, I retrieved a high-level Qi-gathering pill and swallowed it. I then activated my Nether-Heaven Devouring Art to the fullest extent possible with the assistance of the forbidden pupil of the eye.

As I began to focus, my long white hair swayed in the air and my aura underwent a transformation. I concentrated in order to achieve a profound state. The spiritual energy within the cave began to converge around me, growing denser by the moment. I observed as this spiritual energy was converted into Qi within my lower Dantian, visibly increasing.

After cultivating for nearly 2 hours without pause, I was on the verge of breaking through to the 8th realm of the Qi Gathering Realm. With just another 30 minutes of effort, I finally achieved the breakthrough.

The commotion that I caused remained confined within the cave due to the numerous defensive formations in place to prevent any disturbances.

"Hello... your time is up, disciple Xinli," Guard Huan reminded me as he opened the entrance to the cave.

Just as the guard opened the entrance, he noticed that the spiritual energy within the cave had significantly diminished.

"Huh?... Did he consume the spiritual energy that quickly?... Damn! Even his aura has undergone a transformation..."

"What in the world... Did he train here? Despite cultivating..." The guard was puzzled upon seeing the scar mark on the ground.

"Oh... It seems like my time is over... If only I had a little more time, I could have further advanced my skills," I muttered while scratching my head.

"Are you serious? If you had more time, you would have depleted all the spiritual energy within this cave..." The guard almost cursed, but he dismissed it after a moment of thought. It wasn't his problem; he was only here to guard, nothing more. The spiritual energy would eventually restore itself given enough time.

With that, I began to leave, contemplating my next move. As I walked away, the guard could only see my back.

"What an unusual young man," he murmured before returning to his own tasks.

After a few minutes, I spotted the Elder who managed the cave. However, seeing that he was busy, I decided not to disturb him and left through the gate.

"Now, what should I do? It's already getting late, so let's go have some dinner first... After such intense training, I'm quite hungry," I thought to myself, massaging my belly. I headed towards the nearest café to have dinner.

"How may I help you?" the waiter said to me

"What do you serve here?" I asked the female waiter

Then the girl started to blurt out the Manu….

…..

The sect possesses a vast expanse of land, making its management quite challenging. Consequently, the residents here lead a lifestyle akin to those residing outside. However, one notable distinction is that the sect provides the opportunity to attain strength and offers protection, among other benefits

….

As the female waiter is done saying the menu name what what things are serve here…

I started ordering it.

"Give me the best food in here," I said casually

"Okay….that will cost you almost 1 gold coin….you will be fine? " she reminded me

"umm… 1 gold coin? okay" I nodded

"wait a minute then….. it will take some minutes to prepare," she said to me

As the preparations for the order were underway, I started to listen to some gossip between outer disciple

"Have you heard about new talented disciples that are emerging?" one of them exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, man... I witnessed a battle between the new disciple Cao Long and Brother Fan when I entered the arena. They are both in the same realm, but Cao Long completely defeated Brother Fan," another disciple shared.

This piqued my interest. "Ah, so Cao Long managed to defeat someone," I thought to myself.

"What about the other top disciples?" another disciple inquired

"There are plenty of them, but they don't showcase their skills in the arena as much. The truly exceptional ones prefer to embark on adventurous quests for the sect. It not only earns them contribution points but also provides them with valuable life-and-death experiences. They know how to utilize their skills effectively, unlike some who mindlessly fight in the arena,"

"It's like comparing heaven and earth," another disciple chimed in,

"But today's arena matches were absolutely insane, dude! Mo Fu vs Sha Aiguo, Si Tara vs Ya Miku, and especially oh my god, Sa Wei vs Xinli... that battle was next-level intense, man! They totally showed off their skills way beyond their realm. I was mind-blown, seriously." Another person jumped into the conversation

And I had no idea that I would become a hot topic with one match….

'as for Si Tara vs Ya Miku….. looks like I missed this match' I thought
