Chapter 43 Training Once Again

Training once again

"Husband, do you think he'll be safe? This is the first time Bai'er is leaving, and he's going into a Secret Realm. You know what happens in Secret Realms. Murder and robbing are commonplace." Li Rou asked worriedly.

"If it were a random Secret Realm, I would worry, but he said that he knows this one like the back of his hand, so I'm not." Xue Feng calmly responded.

"But even so, some things can't be prepared for. What if he runs into a Muscle Nourishing Realm Beast? Even with his full strength, he wouldn't stand a chance." Li Rou still wasn't convinced of her son's safety.

"You gave him enough protection talismans to protect him against someone as strong as Wang Shu. So how can you be worried about a mere Muscle Nourishing Realm Beast?" Xue Feng retorted.

"I'm his mother. I have to worry about his safety. I can't be like you handing him a sword and sending him off with a laugh." Li Rou spoke as she lightly punched Xue Feng.

Laughing, Xue Feng didn't respond and just pulled Li Rou into a hug.

While his parents were talking in his courtyard, Xue Bai entered once again.

Pushing herself away from Xue Feng, Li Rou asked, "Bai'er, why did you come back?"

"Mother, my appearance, everyone would see this. Even though I did change a lot, the servants would still recognize me. So I need a cloak or something to hide this." Xue Bai explained.

He had only walked a few feet before he realized this major problem, so he ran back before anyone saw him.

Smacking his forehead Xue Feng responded, "How could I forget that?"

Then pulling a black cloak out from his spatial ring Xue Feng handed it to Xue Bai.

"I used this in my youth. It is a simple artifact that will make people ignore your presence." Xue Feng explained.

Taking it and putting it on, Xue Bai instantly felt like he had a shroud covering him.

"What rank is it? And how strong does one have to be to see through it." Xue Bai asked before he left.

"I used it in my youth, so it's only a Low Yellow Grade Artifact, but that's only ranking its durability. No one under the Qi Sea Realm should be able to see through you as they don't have their Spiritual Sense yet." Xue Feng explained.

Nodding happily, Xue Bai went into his room to test it out. Looking in his mirror, Xue Bai couldn't see himself clearly. It was as if he was in his own peripheral vision, even though he was right in front of himself.

After looking at himself for a few more seconds, Xue Bai looked away. It hurt his eyes when he stared too long.

"Thanks, Father, I'm going now!" Xue Bai spoke once again before he left.

With a cloak now to hide his identity, he should be in the clear to make it outside the Duke Estate without catching any attention.

Running out of the Duke Estate didn't take long. Since this time, Xue Bai could use Spiritual Qi to cut his time by more than half.

Outside he saw the Wang Twins on their Bear Griffin waiting for him.

Forgetting he was wearing the cloak Xue Bai stood next to the mount and was waiting for the twins to let him up. However, instead of a lift, he was chastised.

"Hey, you kid, this is the mount of the Young Duke. Move away. We are waiting for him. If you want to wait for your father to leave the estate, wait somewhere else." Big Wang shouted from above.

The two had assumed Xue Bai was the son of one of the soldiers in the Dukedom. And though it was a good moment for a face slapping, Xue Bai needed all the time he could to prepare for the Secret Realm, so he merely pulled down the hoddie of the cloak to show who he was.

"You cultivation fanatics, it's me. Let me up. We're on a tight schedule." Xue Bai yelled out before pulling his cloak back up just in case anyone was near.

"Young Duke, what happened to you?" The Twins shouted out.

"You fools, if I wanted the world to know, would I wear a cloak? Let me up before people start staring," Xue Bai ordered.

"But, Young Master, were you just using Spiritual Qi to run here? How could you do that? You're not even 11 yet." Little Wang asked stupidly.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Xue Bai just jumped onto the Bear Griffin himself.

"You two should cultivate your minds first. The questions you ask make me think of toddlers." Xue Bai spoke after landing.

But neither of the two could respond. When Xue Bai had used Spiritual Qi there, he had shown his cultivation to the two. And after sensing it, they were stunned.

At first, Little Wang had thought he was seeing things when he saw Xue Bai glowing in a purple hue since no element of Spiritual Qi he knew was purple, and Xue Bai hadn't even turned eleven yet to be able to awaken his Martial Veins.

But seeing Xue Bai jump 4 meters into the air and reveal a cultivation of the fifth stage of the Vein Transformation Realm stunned him into silence.

"What are you two staring at me for? I'm still the same person." Xue Bai said with a smile, trying to break the odd atmosphere.

"Young Duke, both me and my idiot of a little brother swear to the Heavens that we won't tell a soul about this!" Big Wang shouted as soon as he regained his composure.

The past two years have been the most peaceful stretch of time for the Wang Twins since their childhood. They didn't have to work intense hours like other soldiers or do the patrol's that even commanders weren't excused of. And they were able to live in the core region and cultivate in the densest area of the Duke Estate.

But they both knew it was from this child in front of them. He had let them have everything they always wanted but could take it away just as easily.

So now, with Xue Bai showing them such a confidential thing Big Wang knew that he had to keep his mouth shut, or they wouldn't enjoy their positions much longer.

But since he was already tied to Xue Bai, he thought to make the affiliation even stronger with a Dao oath.

Which worked. Though Xue Bai didn't expect them to make a Dao oath, it made a smile appear on his face.

"You two should be this sharp all the time. It would make your lives much smoother." Xue Bai said as he took a seat on the mount.

"Young Duke, though we are merely your servants, can we know what's going on with you or where we are going?" Big Wang asked cautiously.

Thinking about how to phrase it for a moment, Xue Bai eventually got it.

"You don't need to know the specifics, but I can cultivate now. And for where we are going, here are the coordinates." Xue Bai as he handed Big Wang a scroll.

"Young Duke, this isn't very far from Snowy Wind City. Are you sure?" Big Wang asked.

However, Xue Bai just rolled his eyes at him.

"When have I ever been wrong? Just fly the bear to where I want you to."

Surprisingly after Xue Bai said that, the Bear Griffin cried out as if it was hurt from hearing that.

"Woah, you can understand me?"

"Young Duke, my mount is a beast in the Law Manifestation Realm. Of course, it can understand you." Big Wang said proudly.

To which the Bear Griffin cried out again.

Xue Bai was slightly amazed at that. Since he transmigrated, this was the first time he had tried to communicate with a demonic beast. He knew they were intelligent enough to talk to, but he ignored it since he didn't get anything from talking to them.

So Xue Bai tried to talk with the Bear Griffin as Big Wang set off to fly to their destination.

Asking it simple questions like how life was in the enclosure and how Big Wang was as an owner, Xue Bai managed to pass the time.

Reaching their destination didn't take long, as it was only a few miles away from Snowy Wind City in the surrounding forest.

"Young Duke, we have arrived at your coordinates, but what are we going to do here? It's just a forest." Big Wang asked as they landed.

"First, I need to train. Then we find a Secret Realm!" Xue Bai said with a wide smile.
