Online Cultivator

Sword Aura

After the Spirit Master and Du Brothers had long since left, Xiao Hua spoke, "Brother Yuan, why did you let them go? Knowing their personalities, the Du Brothers will definitely not forgive you for what happened today, and they will definitely come back stronger to take revenge someday."

"Xiao Hua is aware of the good personality of Brother Yuan, and Brother Yuan has recently become a Cultivator, so killing people might still be difficult for you, but there are people in this world who would rather die. Because even if they no longer pose a threat to you, they will definitely pose a threat to others."

"The cultivation world is a place where if you don't eat your enemies, they will eventually eat you. So you have to be the one to eat other people, not the other way around."

Hearing Xiao Hua's lecture, Yuan sighed, "I know that I might be naive, maybe even stupid in your eyes, and that these people are just NPCs in a game, he said, but I don't want to kill another human being unless absolutely necessary, because I fear it will affect my mind negatively, he said, because I've forgotten a few times that I'm actually in a video game, treating this world as if it were the real world."

"..."

Xiao Hua listened to his words in silence. And even though he only understood half of it, he knew what he was trying to say, and he said afterward, "Brother Yuan, he knows what he is trying to say, what you experienced today is only the pinnacle of the cultivation world and is very common in our world. There will be more people like the Du Brothers out there, and there will even be people with much worse personalities. You will also face similar situations in the future, sometimes more than once in a day. And unless you are strong — is strong enough to handle any situation that comes your way, you will always be plagued by the strong and powerful."

A bitter smile appeared on Yuan's face.

"I guess living life as a Cultivator wasn't as easy as I thought it was in the beginning. I just hope that I won't be someone without morals or someone who is apathetic towards the lives of others like the Du Brothers."

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan. If you ever get lost in your Cultivation Path or feel like you're becoming a different person, Xiao Hua will be there to help you get back to normal."

"Thank you, Xiao Hua. I'll also try my best to familiarize myself with this new world and lifestyle as a Cultivator without being a burden to you."

"People will always change, but how they change is what really matters. As long as Brother Yuan remains a good brother like him now, it will be fine even if you change a little." Xiao Hua said to him.

"Hahaha, you really are like my little sister, who is actually more mature and intelligent than she looks." Yuan chuckled, feeling as if he could see Yu Rou in Xiao Hua's shadow.

"By the way, how does Brother Yuan feel? Were you injured during your fight with the Du Brothers?" Xiao Hua asked him a moment later.

"Besides having a few superficial scratches and feeling a little hungry again, I'm fine." He said with an energetic expression.

Xiao Hua nodded and continued to speak, "Brother Yuan's experience and insight has significantly improved from the fight. If we continue like this, Brother Yuan should prepare to fight monsters at the Spirit Warrior level in no time."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's continue the practice!" Yuan said enthusiastically.

"Sister Yuan really likes to fight, huh?" Xiao Hua said with a smile.

"Of course, because I feel really alive when fighting. I also enjoy moving my body, swinging the sword, and the sensations that come from fighting." Yuan nodded.

The two of them began to walk deeper into the wilderness shortly afterwards, and Yuan would continue to hone his sword skills while Xiao Hua helped find all the monsters for him.

'Sword Aura...?'

Yuan raised his eyebrows at this new term.

"Xiao Hua, what is Sword Aura?" He decided to ask for the only available expert.

"Aura Sword?! Has Brother Yuan's swordsmanship reached a level where he can already learn Sword Aura?!" Xiao Hua looked at him with a surprised face.

"I don't even know what it is... But after listening to your tone, I guess that's something impressive?"

"Of course, that's something impressive! Only a true swordsman can learn Sword Aura! And it's not something that can be learned just by practicing with the sword, because you can practice with the sword all your life and not understand the Sword Aura, Sword Aura, while some people can do it in a few years of training! People with Sword Aura are also called Swordmasters! However, Brother Yuan only practiced with the sword for only a few days! If people find out about your talent, there will be many Swordmasters who will beg you to become their disciple!" Xiao Hua said to him excitedly.

"You praise me too much, again... It made me blush." Yuan said with a slightly blushing face.

"Then can you teach me how to use this Sword Aura?" he asked her a moment later.

Xiao Hua shook his head and said, "That's impossible for Xiao Hua because he's not a Swordmaster, so he doesn't understand Sword Aura."

"so... Then how do people usually learn the Sword Aura?"

"Through training, Brother Yuan. Once you understand Sword Aura's comprehension, it's only a matter of time before you learn it. In fact, all Swordmasters would eventually learn Sword Aura as long as they continued to train with the sword." Xiao Hua said.

"Then I don't have to do anything special?"

Yuan asked, and Xiao Hua shook his head.

'I wonder how long it will take for me to learn the Sword Aura ...' Yuan pondered to himself as he stared at the sword in his hand with a puzzled expression.

'If the Du Brothers really decide to return for revenge, I will be ready for them, and I will not let them escape a second time.'
