Seeing Feng Yuxiang’s shocked face, Xiao Hua smiled and thought to herself, ’If you are shocked about something so insignificant, you might die from a heart attack after you see Brother Yuan’s other talents...’
Meanwhile, Feng Yuxiang pondered to herself, ’Did the Young Master really memorize all of the steps after watching it just once? No... that’s not possible. There’s no way someone from the Lower Heavens can possibly have such a shocking level of talent. However, the Young Master has a Bloodline that’s above the Divine-grade, and his origins are not clear, so he might actually be someone from the upper heavens who decided to come to the Lower Heavens for training, hence why there’s a Spirit King following him.’
’However, even if that’s the case... How can a Spirit King remain in the Lower Heavens without being punished by the Heavens with Heavenly Tributions? Maybe she has a treasure that hides her presence? But I have never heard of such a treasure like this before...’
"Are you okay, Feng Feng?" Yuan suddenly called out to her. "If you’re tired, we can continue this later."
He wondered if she was tired after that impressive demonstration.
"Eh? N-No! I am fine. Let me show you the movements again, Young Master."
Feng Yuxiang took a deep breath before she began displaying the Vermilion Phoenix Dominating the Heavens movement technique again.
Meanwhile, Yuan stared at her with intensive eyes, looking as though he was trying to stare a hole in Feng Yuxiang’s body.
’What an intensive gaze!’ Feng Yuxiang’s body trembled slightly after feeling Yuan’s gaze, feeling as though there was nothing she could hide from him and almost like she was naked before his powerful gaze.
Many minutes later, Feng Yuxiang finished her demonstrating the movement technique for the second time.

"What do you think, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang asked him afterward.
"I think I have the gist of it. Can you do it again? This time, I’ll try to follow your movements." Yuan said as he approached her.
"You want to do the movement technique with me?" Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows, and she continued, "I don’t mean to be disrespectful, Young Master, but even if you memorize all of the movements, executing the movements is an entirely different matter. Although you may get the first couple steps correct, everything after that will be a mess— at least that’s how learning movement techniques usually happen."
"Well, even if that’s the case, how else am I going to get better at it besides practice?" Yuan said to her.
"I guess so..." Feng Yuxiang nodded.
"Whenever you are ready, Young Master," she said to him a moment later.
"Go ahead."
After hearing his words, Feng Yuxiang began using her movement techniques again, and Yuan tried his best to follow her movements.
"..."
Feng Yuxiang was dumbfounded when Yuan copied her movements flawlessly, and although his movements grew stiff and awkward towards the end, he still managed to execute the movements without any mistakes.
This blew Feng Yuxiang’s mind wide open. How can a mere mortal at the Spirit Warrior realm learn her— Vermilion Phoenix Dominating the Heavens movement technique so quickly? She’d only displayed the movement technique twice!
"You were right, Feng Feng. Although the beginning was simple and easy to follow, it grew increasingly exhausting and difficult to move towards the end. However, I should get it right after a few more tries," Yuan said to her with an innocent face, unaware that what he’d just done was incredibly shocking and unbelievable.
"Uh... I... Err..." Feng Yuxiang was at a loss for words.
"Hehe..."
A small chuckle could be heard from Xiao Hua who watched the entire thing from beginning to end.
"Xiao Hua told you not to underestimate Brother Yuan, Vermilion Phoenix. He’s a prodigy who can learn Divine-grade techniques in only a few hours and even learn profound techniques just by watching others," Xiao Hua said to her with a smile on her face.
"..."
Although this is Feng Yuxiang’s first time seeing Xiao Hua smile, she was more shocked by what Xiao Hua said.
’The Young Master can learn Divine-grade techniques within hours? What kind of heaven-defying talent is that?’ Feng Yuxiang stared at Yuan with a dazed expression on her face.
Sometime later, after resting until he could move again, Yuan began to execute the movement technique again.
This time, it appeared even smoother and more accurate than previously, almost like his experience with it had leaped by at least a few years between his first and second attempt!
Feng Yuxiang’s jaw dropped upon seeing Yuan’s improvement. Just how ridiculously talented is her Young Master? He could even put the talented geniuses from the upper heavens to shame with his tremendous talents!
However, Xiao Hua suddenly said to her, "If you think that’s the most shocking part about Brother Yuan, just wait until you see him do ’that’."
"That? What do you mean ’that’, Senior?" Feng Yuxiang asked with her interest piqued.
"You’ll find out eventually," Xiao Hua shrugged, as she wanted Feng Yuxiang to find out naturally as she did.
Feng Yuxiang swallowed nervously, and she silently pondered to herself what ’that’ could possibly mean.
Meanwhile, Yuan spent the next hour practicing the movement technique.

"I think I finally got it, Feng Feng. What do you think?" Yuan asked her as his legs continued to move without stopping, feeling quite comfortable with the movement technique now.
"Y-Yes... You have pretty much learned the technique now, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said, her gaze filled with admiration.
However, Yuan did not stop practicing the movement technique, and he continued until he finally received a notification.

"Two hours... The Young Master managed to learn my movement technique that took me years to learn in just two short hours... Is he really human?" Feng Yuxiang mumbled in a low voice as she watched Yuan perfect her movement techniques with a dazed expression on her beautiful face.
While she has seen her fair share of talented Cultivators in the upper heavens, none of them could compare to Yuan in terms of their comprehension skills, and even the top genius would need at least a month to learn Divine-grade techniques, much less a few hours!
After resting for a few minutes, Yuan said to them, "I am going to log off now, and I probably won’t be back until the examination starts, so don’t panic if I don’t return tomorrow."
"Okay. See you later, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua said to him before disappearing into the necklace.
Seeing this, Feng Yuxiang also disappeared into his chest.
Once he logged off the game, Yuan immediately began cultivating in the real world until Yu Rou returned from school and prepared dinner for him.
A few hours later, Yu Rou entered his room with three bowls of soup on a cart and some cleaning utilities.
"Brother, what did you do in the game today?" Yu Rou asked him as she removed the blanket around his body before removing his clothes and wiping his body down with a warm wet towel.
"I learned a new technique today— a movement technique," Yuan said.
"Movement techniques? What are those?" Yu Rou asked.
Yuan proceeded to explain to her about movement techniques and how they can be used to dodge attacks and many other things.
"Wow... So you learned another Divine-grade technique? As expected of you, brother. It’s only been a day since you started playing alone again and you have already made significant progress. Perhaps I really am a burden to you..." Yu Rou sighed.
"Nonsense, you are definitely not a burden! If not for you, we would’ve never gone to Phoenix City or met with Feng Feng, not to mention the Myriad of Techniques, so you have definitely contributed to my progress!" Yuan said.
"If you say so..." Yu Rou nodded.
Sometime later, after cleaning Yuan’s body, Yu Rou said, "Brother, since two bowls of soup was not enough yesterday, I have cooked three bowls of soup for tonight."
"Thank you, Yu Rou."
After feeding Yuan the second bowl of soup, Yu Rou asked him, "What do you think, brother? Can you eat another bowl?"
"Yes, I can," Yuan said.
"Okay." Yu Rou nodded and proceeded to spoon-feed him the third bowl of soup.

"What about now? Are you full now?" Yu Rou asked him afterward.
"Uh..." Yuan hesitated to respond.
Yu Rou raised her eyebrows when she saw this, and she said, "Brother, it’s okay to tell me the truth. If three bowls of soup are not enough, I will cook four, five— until you are satisfied."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Yuan said, "Although I am not full, I actually feel like I ate something this time, so perhaps I will be full after two or three more bowls."
"Two or three more bowls... Heavens, brother, are you going to eat an entire week’s worth of food every day now? Are you sure your body can handle that much food? What if you get fat?" Yu Rou spoke in a worried voice.
"Haha... I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that," Yuan said. After all, everything he eats will naturally turn into energy that will aid him in his cultivation.
And he continued, "However, I don’t think I need to have a full stomach every meal. Just three bowls are good enough for now."
"Okay... Then I will continue feeding you three bowls of soup every meal until Doctor Wang gives his advice," Yu Rou nodded.
