Chapter 807 - Wrong Decision
[Demon Sealing Strike!]
Yuan swung the Empyrean Overlord with all of his might in the empty air before him, sweeping the area in front with an invisible ripple of demon sealing aura.
After that, he pulled the sword back and went for another strike, and he would continue this for two whole hours until someone approached him.
"You're not doing it right."
Yuan stopped swinging the sword and turned to look at the handsome man standing beside him.
"Senior Wan…"
It was Wan Yu, the lecturer that guided him around the Grand Library on his first day.
"Something came up, so I had to leave this place for a bit. Looks like a lot has happened since then." Wan Yu said with a smile on his face.
"I cannot believe that I didn't notice it when I first met you, but you truly look like the founder. I also heard that you'd decided to join the Demon Sealing Clan. Can I ask why you chose them instead of the Demon Sealing Grotto?"
"Sorry, but there is just something about the Demon Sealing Clan that makes me feel… at home… And it feels like it was only natural for me to join them."
"I see… You don't have to apologize. You're not wrong for choosing one over the other… I mean, it might have been the wrong decision, but you did nothing wrong. I understand why you feel the need to join the Demon Sealing Clan. I was once in your shoes, but as I spent more time with them, I realized that the Demon Sealing Clan is no longer the brilliance it once was."
"Without the Divine Paragon, the Demon Sealing Clan is just another power— one of countless powers out there. You will realize that soon, and when you do, you know where to find me. I won't give up on you just because you joined them."
Wan Yu then pointed at the Empyrean Overlord and said, "If your technique doesn't improve after every swing, you're doing something wrong. Don't just swing the sword. You need to understand and comprehend the technique, or your technique will remain the same even a thousand swings later."
"T-Thank you for the advice, Senior." Yuan said to him.
"We may belong to different powers, but I am still an official lecturer here. Regardless if you are from the Demon Sealing Clan or the Demon Sealing Grotto, I have a responsibility to guide you properly."
"Anyways, good luck. Ah, good work at the Demon Sealing Pagoda. I heard you managed to reach the fourth floor on your first attempt." Wan Yu said to Yuan before leaving the place.
After Yuan was alone again, Feng Yuxiang's voice resounded, "That man is right, Young Master. You shouldn't swing your sword just for the sake of swinging it. You must try to understand the technique and improve it as you swing it."
"Close your eyes and swing the sword. Try to feel it. Once you can feel it, you can start understanding it."
Yuan nodded and closed his eyes.
After taking a deep but calm breath, he released the Demon Sealing Strike.
'I see… It really feels different than swinging it casually.' Yuan thought to himself.
"Now try to see if you can improve the technique before you swing it again." Feng Yuxiang said.
Yuan nodded.
A few minutes later, Yuan moved again, swinging the Empyrean Overlord.
Although it was only slightly, Feng Yuxiang noticed slight improvement in his movements.
"That's perfect, Young Master. You're improving."
"Thank you, Feng Feng. I think I know what to do now."
Yuan said to her, and he continued to practice the Demon Sealing Strike.
While Yuan practiced his technique, Feng Yuxiang spoke to Xiao Hua using spiritual sense.
"Hey, Xiao Hua, I have been dying to ask you… When we were inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda, I thought I saw you growing taller… What was that about?"
"What are you talking about, Phoenix?" Xiao Hua responded in a puzzled voice.
"You know… When the Young Master died before us… You got angry, and I swear I noticed you growing taller…"
"You must have been seeing things. Xiao Hua has no idea what you're talking about." Xiao Hua responded in a genuinely puzzled voice.
"Probably…" Feng Yuxiang also began to believe that she was just seeing things because of her shock at the time.
A few hours later, Yuan manages to increase the Demon Sealing Strike's Master Level to 2.
<Your comprehension for Demon Sealing Strike has improved significantly through training>
<Your comprehension for Demon Sealing Strike has reached a new level>
<Demon Sealing Strike Master Level (1) → (2)>
[Demon Sealing Strike]
[Rank: Heaven]
[Mastery Level: 2]
However, Yuan didn't stop his training even after his Demon Sealing Strike reached a new level. In fact, he continued training even harder.
He would swing the Empyrean Overlord for the entire day until his arms were sore and his body was soaked in sweat.
When the other demon sealers at the scene saw how hard he was training, their motivation also grew, allowing them to train harder.
At the end of the day, Yuan's Demon Sealing Strike reached Master Level 3, and his demon sealing aura also saw significant growth.
"I will see you guys tomorrow." Yuan said goodbye to his companions before logging off the game.
After logging off, Yuan got off the bed and made his way to the training field behind the mansion to continue his training.
Of course, there were already people training in the field way before his arrival.
"Hey, Yuan. How was your day?" Wang Ming asked him.
"It was a difficult day for me. One filled with disappointment." Yuan responded with a bittersweet smile.
"You want to talk about it?" Wang Ming did not expect such a response from him and asked.
Yuan chuckled, "Don't worry, I already have it all sorted out with my lecturer."
"Lecturer?"
"I will introduce you guys to her in the future. She's an experienced demon sealer in Cultivation Online."
"By the way, how's your progress with the demon sealing technique?" Yuan asked.
