“Does Qian Xin Yue’s training method really work for you? Be honest with me.”

“I don’t know, it doesn’t seem like we’ve made any progress…”

Both of them were confused. They had been imitating the handstand method for two days but hadn’t felt any difference.

“Do you think there might be some secret she hasn’t shared with us?”

“Possibly. For instance, she might be doing something crucial while she’s out…”

“We’ll know for sure by seeing how long she stays out.”

They were currently in the wilderness, with nowhere else to go besides staying on the shell cows. Qian Xin Yue had been gone for three hours, which was quite unusual.

Sure enough, three hours later, Qian Xin Yue returned.

“She’s walking with her legs clamped together…”

Wang Yan Ran, who had sharp eyes, whispered to Zheng Jia Qi.

“She must be practicing some special technique outside and didn’t tell us…”

“Should we continue practicing?”

“There’s no point. We’re just mimicking the form without understanding the essence. What’s the use of practicing like this?” Zheng Jia Qi walked away angrily. If she weren’t just a young lady from a middle-ranking family, she would have confronted Qian Xin Yue already.

Wang Yan Ran was also upset, but considering her own status, she had to let it go and sulk in her bed.

He Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, was bewildered upon hearing this and mumbled to herself about how pointless it was to practice martial arts without understanding the essence.

“You’re going to the Pathfinder Unit?”

“Yes, I heard that the caravan ahead is going to kill a lot of beasts. Can you ask them to leave the final blow for me?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Chang Qing looked him up and down, nodded, “No problem, I can arrange that…”

Thus, with Xu Chang Qing’s coordination, Zhao Yu headed to the front lines. Moving among various beasts, with the help of professional hunting teams, he collected beast heads one after another.

In just one month, his progress was rapid, advancing from 23% of the second-tier intermediate level to 75%.

[Intermediate Tier 2: 75%]

[Vitality: 700]

[Vision: 2319 meters]

[Current Technology Points: 35774]

[Cultivation Method: Mountain Splitting Art (Earth Level High-Rank)(Perfection). Can instantly mobilize qi and blood. Upper limit: 400. [Maximum limit of energy accumulation: 800]

As they were closer to the Moon City, the roads became much easier to navigate. There were now several small towns and villages scattered throughout the wilderness.

These were places where people, having settled permanently to farm, had married and started families, gradually putting down roots.

Aside from those who voluntarily moved to these villages, many were actually people who had been stripped of their Moon City residency and forced to become farmers outside of the city.

This wasn’t something Zhao Yu could interrupted or to help about. Three kilometers away from Moon City, the caravan departed.

At the same time, Qian Xin Yue found Zhao Yu again.

After a month together, her initial arrogance had long since faded. Now, she was entirely submissive and obedient to Zhao Yu.

“Brother Yu, I need to report back to the Qian family first, then I’ll be heading to Hong Wu Academy. You must come visit me when you have time…”

Initially, Qian Xin Yue had approached Zhao Yu with a specific purpose in mind, but after a month of close interaction, her feelings had changed. She began to consider Zhao Yu and couldn’t help but think of his well-being.

“Remember, this is Moon City. It’s not like Black Stone Town. You can’t behave recklessly here like you did back in Black Stone Town…”

“You have to understand, while people here may not dare to harm you, they can still engage in peer exchanges or incite other old citizens to fight you…” Qian Xin Yue warned him before she went back to Qian Family.

“First-tier King Slayer Rank 5 was rare but Moon City still able to produce one every three or four years…”

“The last first-tier king slayer rank 5 was a year ago. Now he’s reached the intermediate level of third tier. If he decides to kill you, no one can stop him…”

“I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly!”

Zhao Yu patted her on the head and smiled.

He wasn’t foolish. He knew that Moon City was different from Black Stone Town. The city was full of powerful individuals and families. Even if the holy city’s rules prevented anyone from killing him outright, there were plenty of ways to deal with him.

As Qian Xin Yue was still worried before she left, Zhao Yu reassured her with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep a low profile!”

“Okay! Is a promise!”

“Also, be careful of the students at Hong Wu Academy. Those who get in generally have great talent and potential, and many have very strong family backgrounds…”

“The elite of every major family in Moon City are mostly at Hong Wu Academy. Many family leaders were once students there…” Qian Xin Yue finally left.

Zhao Yu was well aware of Hong Wu Academy’s prestigious reputation.

It was directly managed by the Holy City and supplied numerous talents to it every year.

Upon arriving at Moon City, Qian Xin Yue and the others left early. Some went to report back to their families, while others headed straight to Hong Wu Academy.

Meanwhile, other second and third-tier old citizens were quickly taken away by the five major families of Moon City upon entering the city.

Zhao Yu, on the other hand, found himself the most idle, with only Xu Chang Qing left to guard him.

“Where are the five of them? Aren’t they supposed to protect me?” Zhao Yu asked as he watched the five envoys quickly leave upon entering the city.

“They were only temporary protectors. Now that I’m here, they don’t need to stay.” Xu Chang Qing said confidently, his tone filled with pride yet feigned modesty.

“Oh, I see…”

“I heard you came from Moon City and are a fourth-year student before going to the State city.. Are you really very strong during your education period?”
