Chapter 288 – Cat Dad is an Adept Cultivator!
Six years in the pocket dantian quickly passed, and Xiaomao only had two dual cultivation partners throughout the years.
The clones of Undine and Nymph cuddled Xiaomao while he was resting. The girls licked his chest while their hands massaged his sword.
Xiaomao smiled at Undine. At first, she fought back and resisted because of their first interactions. But after Xiaomao decided to do it gently, she stopped resisting. A year later, she turned into a passionate partner like Nymph.
Now, Xiaomao could summon both of them at the same time. He was in paradise.
'Having fun?'
Hearing the voice of Mir, Xiaomao sat up and unsummoned the clones.
"Yup! Dual Cultivation rocks!"
'Haiya. Mao Miaomiao spent million years doing nothing but having sex, and you're now acting like him, mew.'
"Hey, but that wasn't in vain! Look at the pocket dantian now!"
Xiaomao stood up and mimicked Will Smith's flex, showing off his dantian world. A humble 500 square kilometer lake was located to the north. To the west, a lush forest grew. The vast sea at the east was separated from the lake, but it connected to the southern river, where the water flowed down from the mountain range.
Although there was no creature, the dantian world looked livelier than before. It was not as bland as in the past.
'Congratulations on becoming a full-fledged 4th-stage cultivator, mew! I bet you're stronger than regular 5th-stage cultivators on Earth now.'
Xiaomao smacked his chest like Andrew, "So, what's next, master?"
'Fight more clones. Playtime is over, mew!'
Xiaomao sulked. He thought of the torturous experience when he fought Wei Feng's clones, and he didn't want to repeat that again.
'Cultivation and increasing your Qi is one thing. Training your skills and raising your combat experience is another thing, mew! You can't neglect either or you'll end up as a weakling!'
Without a choice, Xiaomao unsummoned Undine and Nymph. He changed the sparring menu. Then, he picked Wei Xiong, who had the same surname as Wei Feng, and adjusted the clone's strength to match his cultivation strength.
.
Name: Wei Xiong
Race: Oni
Gender: Male
Class: 4th-Stage Mortal Cultivator
Specialties: Oni Transformation, Sword Arts, Swordsmanship, Blood Transformation, Demon Qi
Origins: Heavenly Goose Planet
.
The portrait changed. The clone's age became 29, which was quite old for a 4th-stage cultivator.
WHOOSH
The clone appeared. The difficulty setting started at 100% first. Until Xiaomao could defeat him 999 times, the difficulty rating would stay the same. Only when Xiaomao could defeat him 999 times, Wei Xiong's clone would use 200% of the original's potential.
Wei Xiong had a similar face to Wei Feng, but he looked more muscular and taller. He came out with a hundred flying swords and two katanas in his hands. Unlike Wei Feng, he didn't transform into an Oni right away.
Xiaomao had a trauma against a dual wielder with two katanas. He clicked his tongue.
"I hate samurais."
He pointed two fingers at Wei Xiong and created energy swords.
Wei Clan Sword Art!
A hundred white swords appeared out of thin air. Xiaomao's skin emitted white gas and he faded into smoke, but his energy swords were launched toward Wei Xiong at the speed of sound.
Wei Xiong also did the same. He turned into red smoke and sent flying swords at Xiaomao.
All swords passed each other and went after the casters. At the same time, the white smoke and red smoke collided.
SWUA!
The two clouds of smoke reformed their original appearance. Both men were 50 meters apart, but they turned their backs on each other. Wei Xiong still held his two katanas while Xiaomao's four tentacle blades finished their slash motions.
"I've gotten rusty."
Xiaomao's right arm and six of his tentacles fell off his body. The skin on his chest revealed a long deep cut, and blood gushed out. Xiaomao collapsed to the ground.
Wei Xiong's clone snorted and smirked. However, a few seconds later, from his head to the groin, his body was split into two.
He was cleaved in half!
DING
The corpse of Wei Xiong vanished. Xiaomao got his first victory, but he suffered from a heavy injury as well.
.
Because of the severe injury, Xiaomao's consciousness returned to his real body. He opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
It had been a long time since he could see REAL sunlight. He immediately sniffed his armpit.
It stank. He had been sleeping and sweating for over 24 hours in real life.
"Go take a bath, mew."
Mir also frowned and covered her nose. As for Jungwoo, he was still out, training hard in his pocket dantian as usual.
Since Xiaomao hadn't taken a bath for 7 years (one day in the real world), he was dying to get a hot shower. He entered the bath and took his time.
While Xiaomao was washing his hair, he closed his eyes and accidentally activated the game menu behind his eyelids.
DING
The menu showed his present status.

.
All his stats improved by a lot in just a few days. The most improvement seemed to be the Water Spiritual Roots as it jumped from 38,000ish to 84,000!
The second change was the Qi category. The Life Qi panel evolved into Life Essence, which was the upgraded version of Qi as one droplet of Life Essence was equivalent to 1000 strands of Life Qi.
In short, Xiaomao had to add three zeros to the Life Essence to get the total volume of Life Qi! He had a massive amount of energy to use!
Xiaomao was excited. He wondered how he would fare against Joan and her soldiers if they were to fight now.

"ACHOO!"
"Puta! (Bless you!)"
Joan, the new mannequin, suddenly sneezed. She tilted her head in confusion about how she could still get infected by trivial bacteria or viruses.
The two sat idly in the factory, allowing Torrent to examine them for Gata's breast implant planning.
While Torrent examined Gata's skin, she complained, "I'm a freaking pirate, not an engineer or a plastic surgeon! Why do I have to keep doing this?!"
Gata looked at Torrent and made a mini-heart gesture.
"Puta <3"
Torrent rolled her eyes, "When this is over, go fetch Meowmeow or someone in charge on B7. Tell them that I need new helpers! Make them transfer some work ants for me!"
"Puta!"
Gata saluted and giggled. As for Joan, she tilted her head like an innocent puppy.
