Shen Yuan Ring

"Little Tiger, we must not be arrogant or complacent, otherwise we will not even be qualified to look up to them in the future."

Ji Zihan, who had just come out of the pass, also heard Wang Yueyue's words and couldn't help but chime in.

Upon hearing Ji Zihan's words, Ji Xiaohu immediately dropped his arrogant attitude and felt ashamed of his complacent behavior.

After a while,

Sun Puyue also emerged from seclusion and noticed that Ji Xiaohu looked unwell. She asked, "Xiaohu, what's wrong? Did you fail to break through?"

"Breakthrough successful!"

"Then why aren't you happy? Isn't breaking through a good thing?"

"I was afraid that Xiaohu would become complacent after his continuous breakthroughs, so I encouraged him a bit."

"Sister Yueyue and Sister Zihan are right. I was indeed a little arrogant and complacent when I broke through to the ninth level of the Skin Refining Realm. My achievement is nothing compared to Brother Dao!"

"Xiao Hu, we don't want you to relax just because of a short-term breakthrough! Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

"Don't worry, Sister Yueyue, I won't let everyone down."

"That's good." Wang Yueyue then looked at the door where Wang Dan was. "What's wrong with Wang Dan? You guys have been out for so long since your breakthroughs, there's no reason why he hasn't come out yet."

"Is it because he hasn't broken through yet? And these past two days, he's been persevering entirely on willpower to keep up with us. But it's also because of his desperate spirit that he broke through so quickly."

"Xiao Hu, come with me and see what's wrong with him."

Wang Yueyue led Ji Xiaohu toward Wang Dan's cultivation room, and they entered the room without any problems.

"Wang Dan! Wake up."

Wang Yueyue saw that Wang Dan's eyes were closed, and that he had absorbed all the medicinal herbs in the wooden tub. She quickly went over and patted his cheek, startling the sleeping Wang Dan awake.

As Wang Dan gradually woke up, she saw Wang Yueyue and Ji Xiaohu and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Yueyue, how did you get in here?"

"We thought something had happened since you hadn't come out for so long, but we didn't expect you to just be asleep."

"Sister Yueyue, Brother Xiaohu, you...would you like to go out first? I...I'll get dressed and come out right away," Wang Dan stammered, clearly embarrassed.

"It's not like I haven't seen it before. I've always been the one to take your clothes off. You're just a little kid, why are you shy?" Wang Yueyue said without any hesitation.

“Sister Yueyue, how can that be the same? We were both in a dazed state back then!” Ji Xiaohu said, speaking up for Wang Dan.

"Okay, Wang Dan, get dressed and come out quickly. Don't stay in the water for too long. We'll wait for you outside."

Then he went out with Ji Xiaohu!

"What happened to Wang Dan?" Ji Zihan and Sun Puyue asked as they stepped forward.

"It's nothing, she just fell asleep."

"That's good. I was so worried that something had happened to him! I was so concerned."

A short while later, Wang Dan came out.

"Wang Dan, how come you fell asleep?"

"I woke up when I broke through, but I was too tired. I thought I would take a short nap, but I didn't expect it to turn into a misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yueyue thought for a moment and said, "A balance between work and rest is essential for going further. You are all like taut bowstrings right now, so I plan to give you a day off tomorrow."

"What do you all think of my suggestion? Let's take a day off tomorrow," Wang Yueyue asked again when she noticed the silence.

A moment of silence fell over the crowd. They looked at each other, unsure of what to say, when a voice rang out.

"I think Yueyue's suggestion is great. Let's take a day off tomorrow!"

"Brother Dao!"

"Daoyi!"

Upon hearing Ji Daoyi's voice, everyone immediately turned to look at him.

"What? It's only been a few days, but you all feel like months have passed? Did my breakthrough take a long time this time?"

"No, only three days have passed. I just miss you a little. Brother Dao, have you successfully broken through yet?"

The others also kept looking at Ji Daoyi, all filled with curiosity.

"You still don't believe in your brother Dao? You can't fail even if you want to," Ji Daoyi said with a smile.

“Dao Yi, the gap between us is already huge. If we take a day off tomorrow, won’t the gap just get bigger?” Ji Zihan said with a hint of disappointment, and the others echoed her sentiments.

"Since no one wants to rest, how about we temporarily suspend weight training starting tomorrow and instead practice Yuan Techniques and actual combat, and continue after a while?"

“That’s right, we can also practice Yuan Techniques and engage in actual combat to improve our strength, which is not just about raising our realm! This way, we can also buffer the discomfort caused by breaking through too quickly, and at the same time relieve some of the recent pressure and fatigue.”

"I agree."

"I agree"

Seeing Ji Daoyi emerge from seclusion, Wang Yueyue felt as if the entire team had found its backbone, and the team became much more active.

"In that case, let's arrange it like this for the next few days!" Wang Yueyue was also relieved.

"Dao Yi, why did it take you so long to break through this time?"

"I completed the breakthrough yesterday, but I practiced some Yuan Techniques, so it took an extra day."

Wang Yueyue nodded and then said, "Perfect timing! Ji Daoyi has also come out of seclusion today, so everyone is gathered together. Tonight, I'll treat you all. First, to celebrate your consecutive breakthroughs these past few days, and second, since you've been in the inner courtyard for so long, I haven't had a proper welcome ceremony for you all. Let's take this opportunity to celebrate together!"

"Great!"

"Sister Yueyue is so nice!"

After dinner, everyone returned to their own courtyards to rest!

"I never expected that this seclusion would not only allow me to break through to the sixth level of the Bone Refining Realm, but also to break through the Limitless Blade Technique. Now I have also broken through to fifty-nine blade imprints."

Just after Ji Daoyi completed his bone refining breakthrough, he tried to condense sword seals. However, he did not expect that his whim would actually allow him to successfully break through the fifty-year mark. However, after condensing fifty-nine seals, he entered the next bottleneck.

"Could I try upgrading the 'Limitless Blade Technique'? The defense and attack should be stronger if it's composed of twenty blade imprints."

Without hesitation, Ji Daoyi mobilized twenty sword imprints and began practicing.

This training lasted for an hour. Although he had the foundation of ten sword seals, it was not easier to improve to twenty sword seals.

Because this time he controlled twice as many knife seals, the main seal changed from one to two.

That's why he had to devote more attention to it, and it can be said that hard work pays off after an hour of practice.

Ji Daoyi was basically familiar with how to use the twenty knife seals. Although he could not yet use them at will when he had ten, he could still use them in simple ways.

With a good start, he took the opportunity to upgrade the next two moves.

"It's a pity it's too late, otherwise I could have practiced a little longer. Right now I can only use twenty sword seals, and I haven't really developed combat power yet."
