“About slightly more than a month?” w.a.n.g Yu thought about it for a while before answering. Ever since w.a.n.g Yu started playing the game, his previous schedule of practising martial arts was basically disrupted. In the beginning, w.a.n.g Yu was still insistent of practising three times a day. As he started playing for longer periods of time, even his rest time was slightly disrupted, let alone martial arts practice.
“I can’t believe you haven’t practiced in a month. I wonder if your kungfu worsened?” a worried Mu Zixian replied.
Kungfu was similar to piano in a sense that once you stopped practising, it would be very easy to lose touch. w.a.n.g Yu hadn’t practice in a month so he should logically have worsened.
Due to the fact that Mu Zixian and w.a.n.g Yu spent all day and night together, she had some ideas of w.a.n.g Yu’s kungfu. However, w.a.n.g Yu’s standard was too high so she was still unable to tell if w.a.n.g Yu truly improved.
“What do you think?” w.a.n.g Yu smiled.
“I think I shouldn’t let you play the game at all…” Mu Zixian started blaming herself. It was hard to form a good habit but easy to be addicted to something bad. One month of addiction would be enough to destroy a person.
“Haha!” w.a.n.g Yu laughed as he replied, “I’ve never felt this good about my kungfu!”
“What do you mean?” Mu Zi Xian was slightly confused.
“What I mean is that I’ve entered a new realm again,” w.a.n.g Yu replied in an excited tone.
Mu Zi Xian questioned, “Didn’t you not train for over a month?”
“Hehe!” w.a.n.g Yu chuckled again. “It is true that I haven’t practice for over a month but I’ve not given up on my kungfu.”
“Huh? How do you do that?” The more Mu Zi Xian listened, the more confused she got. w.a.n.g Yu had been playing the game so what did he mean?
“I have to thank this game for this. Throughout these few months, I’ve had my breakthrough unknowingly,” an elated w.a.n.g Yu said.
“Thank the game?” Mu Zi Xian suddenly understood more.
“Yes, indeed. If I haven’t been fighting every day in the game, I really don’t know how long I will need to improve given my current cultivation level.” w.a.n.g Yu couldn’t stop smiling.
That’s right. w.a.n.g Yu’s current cultivation level in terms of martial arts was still among one of the top few masters. Among his generation of martial artists, no one even comes close to him.
Once a person reached a realm like his, it would be extremely difficult to further improve.
Kungfu had always been a killing technique. There was always a limit to how talented or hardworking a martial artist could be. The only way to further improve would be to fight constantly.
Of course, it wouldn’t be meaningful to fight and bully people weaker than him. A person of w.a.n.g Yu’s standard had to find someone stronger than him if he wanted to break through.
However, there weren’t many people in this world with higher cultivation level than w.a.n.g Yu. Even if there were, none of these experts would waste their time to fight or entertain w.a.n.g Yu. After all, winning wouldn’t bring them much glory and losing would be embarra.s.sing to them…
Moreover, their country had become a lawful society where fighting wouldn’t be as common as before. There were no longer many opportunities for martial artists to improve themselves through fighting. This was also why there was no room for kungfu in the society.
However, it was different in <> because it was a good simulation. Everyone appeared to be in a completely new world which was many times greater than w.a.n.g Yu’s current bubble.
Moreover, there were countless powerful monsters and NPC in this game. Every time w.a.n.g Yu fought, he would have some sort of enlightenment. Before this, w.a.n.g Yu was struggling to improve his cultivation for quite some time but after all the fights in the game, w.a.n.g Yu managed to push aside all clouds and mists. He entered a brand new realm in his world of martial arts. This was something w.a.n.g Yu dared not think about in the past.
Hearing w.a.n.g Yu’s words, Mu Zi Xian was extremely pleased. “Really? So are you saying that the more you play this game in the future, the faster your kungfu will grow?”
“That is not true too…” w.a.n.g Yu smiled. “After all, this game is merely a simulation. Regardless of how high the realm I am in, if my body’s inner essence cannot keep up, it would be for nothing.”
The reason for the stall in w.a.n.g Yu’s cultivation level was because he did not have enough enlightenment for his kungfu. Even though the game could increase the level of enlightenment, the most important a.s.set for a martial artist was still his body. The coordination between the body and flesh had to be perfect in order for him to execute every move accurately.
If w.a.n.g Yu were to play this game about ten years ago, his future in martial arts would have been over.
“Therefore, I will have to return to my physical training schedule in the future.” w.a.n.g Yu clenched his fist.
In the past, w.a.n.g Yu didn’t emphasise on training his body because of the stagnation in his realm. Even if he continued to train his body, he would only be increasing the burden on his body. Additionally, he was so poor that he was struggling to feed himself, let alone train his body.
“Isn’t the physical training going to cost a lot of money?” Mu Zi Xian asked.
As for this legendary physical training, Mu Zi Xian had heard w.a.n.g Yu mentioned about the extremely high cost of it.
“En, I will require specialised equipment and a master ma.s.seur. The expense is going to be quite a lot…” w.a.n.g Yu said faintly.
“…” Mu Zi Xian paused for a moment before asking, “What is the rough estimate? I can start preparing for it.”
“You need not ask about this… To be honest, I have no idea as well.” w.a.n.g Yu shook his hand and continued, “Moreover, I don’t think we can fetch much with this small house of ours…”
“…” Mu Zi Xian was speechless… She realised that even though they could earn some money through the game, they were still unable to make ends meet when they really needed money.
Mu Zi Xian thought for a while before responding, “What about Little Nuo’s place…”
“Dear, I will figure out a way by myself. You don’t have to talk about this anymore.” Before Mu Zi Xian could finish her sentence, w.a.n.g Yu stopped her. He was still unclear of the exact relations.h.i.+p among the third of them so wouldn’t he be inviting troubles by asking Yang Nuo?
“But…”
“No need for buts. We finally got some time to ourselves so shall we go shopping?” w.a.n.g Yu changed the topic.
“Alright! It has been a long time since we went shopping.”
Indeed, women cannot say no to shopping so when w.a.n.g Yu suggested this idea, Mu Zi Xian immediately agreed.
“En, let me go and wash up first…” After saying that, w.a.n.g Yu wiped off his sweat as he entered the toilet.
After the two of them packed up their room and was about to leave the house, they saw Li Xue and the others touching up their makeup. They looked as though they were about to leave the house too.
Mu Zi Xian greeted them enthusiastically, “Aiya, Little Xue, are you going shopping too?”
“Yes, Auntie Xian, we are.” Four of them replied with lots of energy.
“You can call me Sister Xian, calling me Auntie Xian makes me feel old. Shall we go shopping together?” Mu Zi Xian invited them.
“… What??”
Hearing Mu Zi Xian’s words, w.a.n.g Yu’s eyes opened wide as his head started hurting… Shopping with one woman is considered blessed while shopping with two or more women is embarra.s.sing.
“This… Wouldn’t we be disturbing your alone time? We have something else to do too.”
The four women knew how to get on in the world so when they saw w.a.n.g Yu rolled his eyes, they knew they shouldn’t join in. This was why they rejected Mu Zi Xian quickly.
Mu Zi Xian was merely asking out of courtesy so when the four women rejected her invitation, she simply held onto w.a.n.g Yu and walked out.
