Chapter 55: Outside

As Shen Yuan left the cave, he looked at the scorching sun above his head. He put his hand above his eyes and saw the sun. "Why does the sun of this world look different from my previous world?" he wondered as he began walking in a random direction.

He didn't meet anyone, and a few weaker beasts ran away when they saw his blood-soaked figure. Shen Yuan noticed this as well, so he began looking for a water source to wash himself off.

He found a river and undressed himself. His robes were already in tatters due to all the fighting he had done, so he threw them away and jumped into the river. He swam for a little while and then relaxed. He closed his eyes to enjoy the peace he felt after fighting such an intense battle.

He slowly fell asleep as all the exhaustion caught up to him.

...

Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong, who had been watching the whole thing, were silent for a good while.

Bing Rong spoke first as she saw the serious faces of Shen Yuxin and Huo Rong. "It was really close. I really thought we would have to interfere when that bandit began burning his blood essence. What was that technique that Shen Yuan used?"

Shen Yuxin nodded her head and replied, "En, he would have really been in trouble if not for the technique that he got from the system. I don't know the name since Shen Yuan said that he would tell me after mastering the first level, but from what I have seen, it is a gradeless technique. It doesn't fall under Mortal, Spirit, Earth, Heaven, or Divine."

She paused for a second as she noticed that both Huo Rong and Bing Rong were listening closely. "A person can use these techniques as long as their bodies can withstand the strain, and the power of the technique will just get higher and higher as the cultivation of a person increases further.

"Shen Yuan was able to exert somewhere between Spirit and Earth-level technique power with his current cultivation level using that technique. It's really impressive how he was able to overcome the limitations of the technique and fight against someone much stronger."

Shen Yuxin felt her eye twitch after looking at the massive pile of books. She looked at both of them, who were looking in different directions and whistling.

"How much money did you burn buying all this stuff?" she asked, feeling like punching both of them.

Huo Rong and Bing Rong hurriedly shook their heads as they pleaded, "No, wait, Master. We didn't spend a single coin on these books. We killed a few young masters and young mistresses of Dual Cultivation sects when they tried to take advantage of us, and we found them all in their storage rings."

Bing Rong nodded her head in agreement but couldn't speak, as Huo Rong had already said what she wanted to.

Shen Yuxin put away the huge pile of books and said, "I will take care of you later. Get ready for a good spanking. If I don't punish you both, you'll really go wild."

Both Huo Rong and Bing Rong put their hands on their bubbly butts as they remembered how Shen Yuxin used to punish them before.

...

Shen Yuan woke up after a few hours of sleep. He looked up and saw that the sun was soon going to set. He left the river and took out a blue robe to wear.

He tied up his hair and placed a long sword at his waist. He began walking aimlessly, looking for a new goal, as he had already accomplished what he had come here to do.

"Ahh," he heard a scream from some distance away. He looked up and contemplated for a second before rushing toward the sound. After going through some bushes, he saw a criminal slicing a sect disciple in half, killing him on the spot.
