The sun, which was high up in the sky, was now about to touch the horizon, but Feng Yu was still fully involved in familiarising Yi Chen with the absorption art.

If the teacher was giving her all, how could the student not reciprocate?

Yi Chen, too, was utilising all the faculties of his mind to understand every single thing she was explaining to him.

As his understanding increased, his number of doubts also decreased, which further propelled Feng Yu to explain certain topics in depth.

It was only when the sun had long disappeared, and starry darkness had enveloped the sky, that the lesson came close to an end.

"Since there wasn't enough time to explain every single thing, I've explained only the major points to you.

With your current comprehension, you will be able to connect those dots by yourself as you keep cultivating.

This absorption art can already boost one's cultivation speed by ten per cent. However, for you, that increase would amount to fifty per cent!"

Feng Yu declared with confidence at the end. She was completely satisfied with how serious Yi Chen's attitude was while learning.

"I understand, I'll keep that in mind. With this, I'll definitely make sure to ascend before a thousand years have elapsed and help you fight that calamity!"

Yi Chen declared, brimming with confidence.

A soft smile appeared on Yu'er's face when she heard his words.

'Don't worry, Chen'er, by the time you ascend, I will have completely obliterated those demons,'

Despite thinking this, she didn't let her thoughts out.

"You can definitely do it, Chen'er. I'll be waiting for you," she said, even though she knew it would take him a little more than a thousand years even now.

She said this not because she didn't want to break Yi Chen's confidence but because she knew how important it was for him to have a goal.

With such a time-bound goal in his mind, she was sure he would continue to cultivate diligently.

"Yes, wait for me. I'll even bring father along with me, ahaha!" Yi Chen said with a prideful laugh.

He was feeling beyond just confident now that he knew that his spirit root was going to be of a higher grade.

'I got a system, a high-grade spirit root and even a high-level absorption art! What else can a man ask for?!' He thought in his mind.

However, when he noticed the sudden dip in Feng Yu's expression, the next moment, he couldn't help but ask, "What's with that expression? Shouldn't you be happy now that we won't be separated forever?"

"I am happy…but I don't think it would be possible for father to-"

"Yu'er," Yi Chen placed his hand over her shoulder and said, "Even before you told me about the changes in my body and also this [Crimson Fire Art], didn't I say that I'm going to ascend?

At that time, you thought that it was impossible and took my words lightly.

It was only when you remembered about the changes in my spirit root and this [Crimson Fire Art] that a flicker of hope finally appeared in your eyes."

Yi Chen snorted when he said this and continued.

"I wasn't lying when I said that. I really have the means to do it. Therefore, I'm going to say it again,"

Yi Chen took a pause and, while staring straight into her emerald eyes, said.

"Not only am I going to ascend to the True Realm in less than a thousand years, but I'm also going to come with Father by my side,"

He declared while pointing towards himself with his thumb.

Hearing his words and seeing how confident he looked, Feng Yu's eyes dilated, and she couldn't help but hold her breath for a moment.

Even if she didn't believe his words, she would still have to agree that he looked really charismatic at the moment.

Leaning his head a little towards her face, he flicked the tip of her nose with his finger.

"So, believe in me a little more, my silly wife. Not everything in this world has to make sense," Yi Chen said with a playful smile and retreated.

Feng Yu's face became steaming hot because of his unexpected actions and words.

However, when she saw that playful, victorious smirk on his face, a trace of anger welled up in her heart, but just then they heard a knock at the door.

"Young Miss, Young Master…Master Ru is waiting for you in the dining hall," a maid informed from outside.

"A-Alright!" she responded the next moment and snorted while staring towards Yi Chen.

"Let's go then," she said and walked towards the door.

Yi Chen could only stand there with a strained smile.

A part of him wanted to tell her everything about his system to ease her mind, but he stopped himself.

'That won't achieve anything …' he thought with a sigh.

His system had not given him anything tangible to make her believe his words.

So even if he explained everything about the system to her, rather than believing him, the likelihood of her seeing him as a crazy person was higher.

Before he exited the training hall, his eyes fell upon a few pieces of paper on a table, and a Quill placed next to it.

His brows raised in thought as an idea came to him.

'How about I try this? It won't be able to completely ease her worries…but it's much better than asking her to just believe me for the sake of it,'

With this thought, he quickly grabbed the quill and started scribbling something on a piece of paper.

"Uhm…Young Master, Young Miss has asked you to hurry," the maid who had left along with Feng Yu soon came back and said awkwardly.

"Yes, just a second," Yi Chen nodded towards the maid. The next moment, he neatly folded the piece of paper and placed it inside his robe.

"Yes, let's go then," He gestured towards the maid and was soon escorted to the dining hall by her.
