Online Cultivation
episode 9

"Congratulations! Player Lightning Emperor, Player White Lotus, and Player Fiery Queen have become the first players to complete the Skeleton Graveyard!»

The sudden announcement shocked many players, but it was not because they were the first to clear this dungeon but because three different families of the Legacy Ranking were grouped together! In other words, they work together, something rarely seen by the public, if ever.

“Damn it! Three of the top 10 families in the Legacy actually worked together to clean the basement together! ”

"Maybe they have decided to make an alliance to take down this Player Yuan?"

“That's a possibility”

Many players are gossiping about new announcements online, some are even making conspiracies. Legacy Ranking is a system in the real world ” or it could be said to be real world ranking, where professional players fight each other competitively for a place in the Legacy Ranking.

There were only 100 players in the Legacy Ranking, ranked one to a hundred. Being a part of the Legacy Ranking brought countless gains and almost no losses. Wealth, fame, authority, power ” one can gain all that just by being in the Inheritance Rank. Moreover, once a player became part of the Legacy Ranking, regardless of their rank, their family would also become a Legacy Family, as well, it allowed them to recruit talented players to help them stay or rank up in the Legacy Ranking, almost like an in-game guild.

Countless players, young and old, fought in tournaments around the world only to gain the qualifications to challenge someone in the Inheritance Rankings to steal their place. Furthermore, only one game will be chosen each decade as the focus. Because of this, the rankings would usually undergo a major change every decade, except for those at the very top of the rankings.

The game that Legacy Ranking chose to be the main focus of the decade is obviously Cultivation Online, the hottest VRMMORPG in the world to date.

”

Moments after the announcement, another one appeared above the clouds.

"Congratulations! Xiong Lu players have obtained the world's first Spirit-class equipment!»

"He finally showed up, yeah." The Lightning Emperor narrowed his gaze at the name on the announcement.

Xiong Lu of the Heaven Divinity, stood at the peak of the Inheritance Rank as the number one player in this world. He is a huge figure even in the real world, owning one of the biggest gaming companies out there.

“Even a peerless monster like him could only get the lowest grade equipment in this game after hours yet this Yuan” Fiery Queen sighed loudly.

”

"Xiao Hua, how much is the equipment worth?" Yuan asked him after the announcement disappeared.

“Spirit, Earth, Heaven, Divine, each broken down into four quality tiers: Low, Medium, High, and Peak. There are other higher classes of Divine Realm, but there is no need to worry about that since you can only find them in the higher realms. ”

“Now you also mentioned it before. What do you mean by taking me to the next realm?”

“Brother Yuan is currently at the lowest realm – Lower Heaven. Xiao Hua's task was to help Brother Yuan reach the highest realm ” Highest Heaven.”

"Your job?" She asked. Why and who would give him such a job?

"Xiao Hua received the Highest Heaven Inheritance, so it was already her job to find a successor."

“Very deep games.” Yuan looked at the sky, "How can we get to the next realm?" She asked.

“Brother Yuan is too weak at the moment and only needs to worry about becoming stronger. After that, we can challenge the Guardian Realm for access to the next realm.”

“So it's that kind of game, yes.” Yuan became more understanding of the purpose of this game.

“Is there a reward for getting there? Highest Heaven, ”dia asked out of curiosity, not expecting too much.

“Everything,” he replied after a moment of silence, “Winners will get everything this world has to offer so they become Gods of this world.”

“Eh?” Yuan did not expect such a huge reward at all. “Allowing Players to become Gods? So game makers are basically giving admin power to those who reach that point? How generous they are.”

‘But I do not use such power, so I will enjoy my life to the fullest and leave it to others to fight for that gift.’ Yuan thought to himself. He was satisfied with only having the ability to use his eyes and limbs as he wished.

”

After walking for some time, Yuan finally realized that they were walking aimlessly. “Xiao Hua, where should we go now? Or rather, what should we do?” he asked her, who seemed to be the one leading this journey.

Xiao Hua looked at him with an indifferent expression and said, "Help Brother Yuan become stronger."

"And how are we going to do it?" Although he did not really want power, it was also not something he would refuse.

"That's .." Xiao Hua suddenly pointed into the distance where there was an open field, and in the middle of this open field was a large figure at least 5 meters tall.

"That's ... frog?" Yuan quickly blinked a few times nonstop as he looked at the huge frog with jade-like skin sitting in the middle with his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping.

“It was a Jade Frog; it had strength equivalent to a Ninth Level Spirit Apprentice cultivator. ”

“Ninth Level Spirit Intern ?! I am only a Seventh-Tier Spirit Apprentice! Are you telling me to go kill myself ?! ” Yuan almost cried after hearing his words.

"Although the Jade Frog is two levels above Brother Yuan's cultivation base, it doesn't matter because Brother Yuan has developed the Heaven Consuming Technique, either, allowing him to become stronger than most Cultivators on the same level."

"Is that really how it works?"

“Un.”

“But I also don't know how to fight ” Ah he noticed us.” Yuan suddenly pointed at the Jade Frog, his head turning towards them with killing intent emanating from his gaze.

"Be careful!" Yuan instinctively grabbed Xiao Hua's waist with one hand and jumped back to avoid the shadow. A few seconds later, the Jade Frog landed where they had originally stood, creating an indentation on the ground.

"That's almost .." Yuan wiped the invisible sweat off his forehead when he saw the hole in the ground. They could be meat paste if he didn't avoid it.

"Brother Yuan, good luck." He gave his thumbs up and casually walked to the side to watch, leaving Yuan dumbfounded.

Thinking that he was just an ant, the Jade Frog ignored him and continued to stare at Yuan.

“You How can I fight this monster without any weapon?!” he shouted loudly.

“Then Brother Yuan could use this” Xiao Hua took a small pouch from his robe, took out a steel sword from inside.

However, when he pulled out his sword, it also warned the Jade Frog, causing it to jump towards him. In the eyes of the Jade Frog, Xiao Hua, who had a weapon, was more of a threat than the empty-handed Yuan, so he ignored Yuan and instead chased after him.

“Xiao Hua! Careful!" He shouted to warn her, but Xiao Hua only looked at him with a calm expression.

The explosion! The ground trembled slightly as the Jade Frog landed on the small body of Xiao Hua.

Yuan's eyes widened, and his jaw fell in shock. In his mind, Xiao Hua had most likely turned into a pancake after being squeezed by the body and weight of the Jade Frog.

Suddenly, a purple mist started seeping out from under the Jade Frog, almost like a fart, and Yuan regained his senses.

The purple mist distanced itself from the Jade Frog and gathered beside Yuan, before forming the figure of a little girl.

“Xiao Hua!” Yuan was confused by what he had just witnessed. What the hell just happened?

"What's up, Brother Yuan?" he asked in a normal voice as if he was not just flattened by the Jade Frog.

"You ... What happened just now?"

"The Purple Fog Physique Xiao Hua?"

“Yes but I also talked about why you just stood there to receive his attack! You almost gave me a heart attack! ”

“But Big Brother Yuan said Xiao Hua could not use his power until Xiao Hua had permission, and Xiao Hua did not have the permission”

Yuan looked at him with wide eyes, his expression confused. "Are you an idiot?!" he suddenly shouted at her.

Surprised, Xiao Hua shrank her head like a frightened turtle.

“Even if you don't want to use your powers, you can just dodge! There's no reason for you to stand there and take a hit!” Yuan was upset, but mostly to himself for telling him to do something without thinking about it.

Xiao Hua was just an NPC, someone who was programmed to act and do things in a certain way, so if Yuan told him to sit down, then he would sit down without questioning him, ‘tuannya’. But Yuan did not consider that he was an NPC, who was also his Servant, and treated him as a true human being, either, hence why he believed that he would have logic in him when he told him not to use his power carelessly. .

"Sorry .." Xiao Hua apologized.

“Aiii!” Yuan covered his face when he saw his sad face. “I should apologize, Xiao Hua I told you to do something without thinking Sorry.”

“?”

“When I tell you not to use your power, I do not intend to completely shut down your power and become a punching bag If you are in danger or feel the need to use your power, then just use it.”

"What about Brother Yuan's permission?"

“Forget me ever saying that and use that as you judge. What I'm trying to say is there's no need to break an egg by crushing it with a boulder, and think about your environment and environment before you decide to use it.”

"Xiao Hua understands." He's nodding.

"good. Now, give me that sword. I have a debt to settle with this fucking frog.”

As Yuan grabbed the handle of the steel sword, information about the sword appeared in his head.

«Class: Spirit»

«Quality: Puncak»

«Physical Strength Required: 900»

«Mental Strength Required: 1.500»

"Good sword!" Yuan immediately liked it after swinging it several times in the air.
