Chapter 22 - Spirit Warrior

In addition to this sudden chapter, I have also edited chapters 1-21, changing a few things and enhancing each chapter's quality. It will also be a good memory refresher before you read this chapter if you want to reread it from scratch.

As they traveled further away from the Flying Sword Sect, Xiao Hua thought to herself, "It's only been a few days since Brother Yuan became a Cultivator, yet he is already powerful enough to hold his own against Spirit Warriors, even though he's only a Ninth Level Spirit Apprentice. This kind of growth is unheard of and is terrifying, to say the least. His experience with the sword is also increasing at a frightening rate, almost like he's the reincarnation of a Sword Emperor."

"Besides wandering around aimlessly for valuable resources and collecting monster cores, there is really nothing else to do."

"Additionally, because Brother Yuan is already a Ninth Level Spirit Apprentice, he has to attain enlightenment before he can make a breakthrough and become a Spirit Warrior."

Xiao Hua turned to look at Yuan and spoke, "Brother Yuan, what would you like to do? Even if you keep consuming monster cores to fill your Qi, once you reach the peak of the Spirit Apprentice realm, you will not be able to gain more Qi unless you become a Spirit Warrior."

"How do I become a Spirit Warrior?" he asked her.

"To become a Spirit Warrior, you must comprehend the enlightenment that will come naturally once you reach the peak of the Spirit Apprentice realm. However, whether you will really gain enlightenment or not will depend on your fate and talent."

"What do you mean by that?"

Yuan expressed puzzlement.

"Although most people are born with the capability to cultivate, their max potential is predetermined before birth. For example, whilst Brother Yuan may be able to reach the peak of the Spirit Apprentice realm with ease, you might not gain enlightenment that is required to breakthrough to the Spirit Warrior realm, thus forever remaining a Spirit Apprentice."

"That being said, albeit valuable and hard to find, there are plenty of treasures out there that can help one exceed their limit and rewrite their fate."

Although she did not say it, Xiao Hua actually has a few of these treasures on her, so even if Yuan is destined to remain as a Spirit Apprentice forever, she can help him escape such a fate.

Yuan looked at his Qi Experience as he listened to Xiao Hua speak.

1,519,395/3,846,000

"If I consume 3 more monster cores, it should be more than enough to max out the Qi Experience…" Yuan thought to himself.

Suddenly, without thinking too much about it and excited to experience this enlightenment, Yuan retrieved three monster cores and threw them into his mouth all at once.
