Online Cultivator

Not Feeling Anything Other than Pain

"Ouch!"

"..."

"Aah!"

"..."

"Damn!"

"..."

"Ack!"

Yusri spent almost half an hour trying to cultivate while enduring the intense pain that came from him but to no avail, feeling nothing but pain and without progress.

'Why? Why can't I cultivate when there is clearly a reaction? Whenever I feel close to a breakthrough, the pain instantly disrupts my breakthrough!' Yusri sighed inwardly.

'I think I should ask Melia and see if she knows anything about this...'

As soon as Angel returned to the room with dinner a few minutes later, Yusri decided to stop cultivating for a while for dinner.

Some time later, Angel said to her, "Brother, you can go ahead and sleep first, I'll surf the internet to see if there's anything we can do together tomorrow."

"OKAY. Good night, Angel." Yusri said to him.

"Good night, brother." After laying Yusri down to bed, Angel goes to her computer and starts surfing the internet, and as usual, goes, he went to look at the forums to see if there was anything new or important that he should know.

'Player Yusri is in the headlines again? What did he do this time?' Angel sees a post marked 'hot' and quickly clicks on the link.

[Player Yusri has become the first player to learn a Heaven rank technique!]

[Yusri's player shocked the world again with his insane speed of development!]

[How is Player Yusri this high-ranking technique!? Click here to find out!]

'So Player Yusri now has the Divine-rank technique and Heaven-rank technique, while we are all still running around with the Mortal-rank technique...' Angel shook her head.

This Yusri player was too amazing and unexpected. How could he achieve such a result? What is he doing different than the others? Is he really a real player? What if Player Yusri is actually the admin who messed up everyone? It looked more reasonable than Player Yusri being a con man.

After reading all the new forum threads about Player Yusri, Angel for some reason decided to switch to see her brother, who was already sound asleep in his bed.

After pondering for a moment, he returned to the internet and searched for the Wealth Ranking Board.

"What! There are already so many people on the Wealth Ranking Board?!" Angel exclaimed in a low voice but was surprised.

It had only been a few days since the Wealth Ranking Board was opened by Player Yusri and there were already a thousand players from all over the world who had managed to amass over a million gold.

Evidently, these thousand people are not your regular players but some of the richest players in the world who are leveraging their wealth to buy gold coins from other players through Real World Trade just so they can get into the Board Wealth Rating.

'Let's see if I can find my brother's name here...' Angel began to search a thousand names.

After all, if Yusri could easily take out 431,000 gold coins and spend them for him without batting an eyelid, he should be on the Wealth Ranking Board.

However, Angel was unable to find the name 'Yusri' on the Wealth Ranking Board even after scrolling all the way to the very bottom of the list, which wasn't too surprising, since he had already spent nearly half a million, already, and it could kick him off the Wealth Ranking Board.

'Now that I think about it, what is Brother Yusri's name in Cultivation Online? I never asked him, ' he thought to himself after this realization.

'Whatever, I'll ask him tomorrow...' Angel shrugged before returning to the forum, where she navigated to the 'Events' section'.

One time he was in the 'Events' section, where players from all over the cultivation world shared their experiences with past and ongoing events to others for contribution points, which they can exchange for gold coins in the game.

'Let's see if there are any events taking place near Spring City that we can attend together...' Angel went on to type 'Spring City' in the search bar.

Literally, a second later, over 10 pages of results mentioning Spring City were in front of him.

'Hm... Most of it is over... Oh? What'sis this?'

[There will be a big event tomorrow in Spring City where city lord—The Xuan— Family will be hosting the Disciple Recruitment Examination for the Dragon Essence Temple, a very prominent sect in the cultivation world! Only those above the level 3 Spirit Apprentice realm can join in!]

"Dragon Essence Temple? Recruiting students?" Angel raised her eyebrows.

He then opened a new tab in his web browser and searched for the term 'Sect'.

"Let's see... The sect was an organization dedicated to cultivation practices and martial arts. The disciples of the Sect could receive training from the Sect Elders and could even obtain valuable rewards from the Sect to further help their cultivation."

Angel then turned to look at Yusri again, thinking, 'If I remember correctly, brother always expressed his desire to experience school life. Although he could not do that in this world, he could definitely do it in the cultivation world! Although it will be different from our school, it is better than nothing!'

'good! It's decided! We will try to join this sect together and do our best as Cultivators!' Angel nodded to herself with a stern expression on her face.

After browsing the internet for a few more minutes Angel also went to sleep, but because Yusri was unable to feel his body and his own body were quite fragile, he had to make sure to keep a safe distance from her and even put some cushioning between her to make a small wall, she said, because it would be disastrous if he accidentally rolled into her and injured her body.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Angel fell asleep rather quickly.

Angel got up early in the morning, as usual, to clean up herself before preparing for her piano lessons.

After her morning lesson was over, Angel went to prepare breakfast for Yusri.

"Good morning, Angel," Yusri greeted her as she returned to the room with food in her hands.

"Good morning, brother. It feels weird to be able to greet you in my own room," he chuckled.

After washing Yusri's face and brushing her teeth, Angel fed him chicken soup.

"Brother, I think I know what we have to do next," she told him as she fed him.

"What do you want to do?"

"You always wanted to experience school, right? Well, there are these places known as 'Sectes' in Cultivation Online, and they are basically schools for Cultivators. I know they're not the same, but it's the only way for you to experience school now."

"Sect? How coincidental! I'll also ask if you want to join me!" Yusri said in a surprised voice.

"really? Then should we join one?" she asked.

"Of course!"

"Great! Then we should participate in the event in Spring City today!" Angel told him.

"Events? What show?"

"There is an event in Spring City where the city lord, the Xuan Family, will recruit disciples for the Dragon Essence Temple! If we pass this exam, we should be able to join this sect!"

"The Xuan Family and the Dragon Essence Temple?" If Yusri could see now, he would stare at Angel with wide eyes full of surprise.

How coincidental! Not only did he plan to join the Dragon Essence Temple in the future but he also got to know the Xuan Family!

"Okay, that sounds good" Yusri said.

"Then it's decided!"

"Ah, one more thing, brother. Your room is still being cleaned by the servants, so you will be playing beside me today" he told her.

"Oh... I forget... Your gaming helmet was also submerged in that black shit and dumped in the trash last night, so we had to buy you a new one."

"What?! They threw away my gaming helmet?! What about my account? Don't tell me I have to create a new account! You have to pick up that helmet no matter how bad it smells!" Yusri shouted loudly, his voice filled with panic. He could not imagine what he would do if he really had to create a new account because of this! What will happen to Melia, who is still inside the necklace? Will he stay there forever? It was scary even to think about!

"No need to panic, brother. Did you forget? You can only have one account and one character, and no matter how many times you change the helmet of the game, you can still play your character."

"Oh.right... I forgot about that." Yusri said in a low voice before sighing in relief.

"Anyway, I'll tell someone to buy it now."

Angel leaves the room to tell a maid to buy another console for Yusri.

About an hour later, the waiter returned to Angel with a new gaming helmet.

Once everything is ready, Angel and Yusri both lie on the same bed with a gaming helmet on their heads.

"See you inside, brother." Angel said to Yusri before pressing the power button on his helmet, sending him into the game first before getting inside himself.

"Welcome back, Brother Yu— Yusri..." Melia left the necklace a second after she entered.

"Melia... Thank goodness you won't be stuck in that necklace forever." she sighed again after seeing her cute face.

"???" However, Melia simply looked at him with a confused expression on her face. Why is he stuck in that necklace forever?
