Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

[Hmm, the new feature is a training space, but I'm having a hard time explaining it to you, so it would be better if you checked it out yourself.]

"All right, open the portal to enter that place, Mei."

[Alrighty!]

When he arrived inside, Zhang Fei gawked because the training space looked so modern and advanced, and there was an advanced piece of equipment right in the middle of it. "Hmm? Could it be that my savior came from an advanced place? Otherwise, she couldn't possibly have created Mei and the overpowered system, and this place is also far more advanced than all the facilities available in my country."

Zhang Fei then approached and checked the equipment in the middle of the training space. "How do I use this, Mei?"

Mei suddenly materialized in front of Zhang Fei, resembling a woman in her twenties with long white hair braided in some places. She has a tall and slim figure, clad in a modern suit that resembles a robot suit. However, he can see through her body, especially since she is just a hologram.

"How can you manifest yourself? Does this imply that you can also do it in the outside world?"

Mei shook her head at Zhang Fei. [I can manifest myself inside this training space due to its direct connection to the system, but I am unable to do so outside. As for my form, the creator created me like this, and I don't see any other option to change my appearance.]

However, Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows after he noticed Mei's face, which was similar to the girl who changed her life. "Apparently, she created you using her own image, especially since your face is similar to hers. Anyway, show me the function of this equipment; I can't wait to try it."

[All right.]

As soon as Mei activated it, a transparent screen immediately appeared on the equipment, and it was like a game menu. The screen displayed several options, with some still locked and only three active at the moment.

[Menu]

1. Comprehension.

2. Gravity.

3. Battle simulation.

[Master, I don't know why the bottom two options are locked, and I think you have to wait for the next system upgrade for them to open.]

Zhang Fei nodded in understanding. "What is the function of the three options?"

[If I activate the gravity feature, the gravity here will be heavier than in the outside world, Master. Moreover, this feature has ten levels, and each level will increase the gravity by two times the previous level.]

"Oh?" After hearing that, Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and he was sure that it would be of great benefit to him, especially to his speed. "So if I train at level one, then gravity becomes two times heavier than the outside world, right? If I train at level two, the gravity here will become four times heavier, right?"

[Yes.] Mei then explained the other feature. [Battle Simulation: You can spar with virtual opponents, but their strength will depend on your current cultivation.]

"I see." Zhang Fei felt that that feature was also very good, especially since his enemies were virtual, so he didn't need to hold back himself and fight them with full strength. "Then what about the third one?"

[Comprehension: It can help you to understand your techniques five times faster than normal, so you will be able to understand them faster, Master.]

"Hey, this training space is really awesome!" Zhang Fei exclaimed joyfully, but he suddenly remembered that he didn't have any other cultivation techniques, especially fighting techniques, and he had always relied on his demon and beast abilities before.

He immediately opened the system shop and looked for sword techniques, especially since he had the Demon Extermination Sword now, so he needed sword techniques to be able to use it properly. As his eyes read the dozens of sword techniques on the shop's list, he asked her for consideration. "Which sword techniques do you think are suitable for me?"

[Since you haven't mastered swordsmanship, I think the basic sword manual really suits you, Master. Furthermore, the sword control method, the sword element method, and the sword energy method will also prove beneficial to you, particularly as these are fundamental techniques. Once you become more skilled in swordsmanship, you can purchase some higher-level techniques.]

Zhang Fei agreed with Mei's opinion, especially since he wouldn't be able to practice high-level sword techniques if he hadn't mastered the basics of swordsmanship. "All right, you can buy them, and I will learn about them directly."

{You got the basic sword manual x1}

{You got the sword control method x1}

{You got the sword element method x1}

{You got the sword energy method x1}

{20,000,000 red jewels have been deducted from your balance}

Zhang Fei took a deep breath as soon as he saw the prices of the four techniques, especially since they were so expensive, even though they were only basic techniques, and he thought that high-level techniques would definitely be even more expensive. Luckily, he got a lot of jewels from the Li and Mei Clans, and the income from his shop was also quite large.

Even though his restaurant generates a substantial income, it still falls short of his shop's earnings. Following that, he promptly reviewed the four techniques.

[Basic Sword Manual: This is simply a manual for properly wielding a sword, swinging, slashing, thrusting, etc.]

[Sword Control Method: The first method is controlling the sword with Qi. The second method is controlling the sword with the heart.]

[Sword Element Method: The user can channel all kinds of elements into the sword, thereby increasing the power of the user's sword technique by several times.]

[Sword Energy Method: Sword energy can amplify sword intent to attack, suppress, and restrain people. This method has ten levels, and each level will increase the user's sword energy twofold. However, the user must have a good understanding of swordsmanship to be able to maximize its effects, especially the sword intent, which is the signature of a sword cultivator.]

"Sword intent, huh?" Zhang Fei muttered to himself as he nodded in understanding. "Sigh, I don't have any understanding of swordsmanship, so I'll ask Lingxue and Qingyu later, especially since they are sword cultivators."

...

[Ding]

[Daily Quest: Absorb 1,900 Qi]

[Status: Done]

[Reward: 1,900 red jewels sent to inventory]

...

Zhang Fei immediately ignored the notification, especially since it was not that important to him, and sat cross-legged on the floor. "Mei, activate the comprehension, and I will learn those four techniques first."

[Alrighty!]

While the real him was training in the training space, Zhang Fei [1] had just opened his eyes after completing the daily quest, and the two women were already waiting for him with smiles.

"What are we going to do now, Fei?" Luo Yu was the first to ask him.

Zhang Fei [1] immediately got out of bed and answered her. "What else? We have to start looking for information about the mission so that we can quickly leave this village to complete the other four missions."

Gu Yan hurriedly informed him. "Anyway, I heard that Xia Leng and the others haven't returned to this village since yesterday, and the villagers said that they might have difficulty dealing with the beast that was the target of their mission."

"Oh?" Zhang Fei [1] turned to Gu Yan with a raised eyebrow, but he didn't care much about Xia Leng and the other three, especially since he didn't know them. However, Xia Qianqian caught his interest, and he wanted her to be his dual cultivation partner, so he didn't want anything to happen to her. "What kind of beast are they looking for? Is it strong?"

"I don't know for sure, especially since the villagers don't have much information about that beast either." Gu Yan responded by shaking her head. "However, they said that the beast was an aquatic beast that lived in the southern ocean, but they never saw its true form, and they only saw many tentacles coming out of the sea, which they thought were part of it.

The presence of the beast makes the villagers always anxious, especially since their livelihood is selling aquatic beasts, and it repeatedly attacks them, so they have difficulty doing their work."

Zhang Fei [1] immediately opened the map and checked towards the southern ocean, and they found the names of the two female disciples on the edge of that place, but he could not find the three male disciples. 'Mei, why can't this map detect the depths of the ocean?'

[Master, it seems like something is preventing the map from detecting that deep, so you should probably go there and check it yourself. However, if Gu Yan's words just now are true, the beast is probably some kind of octopus or giant squid.]

Zhang Fei [1] agreed with her and spoke to the two women. "I think I know what kind of beast they are looking for, but it's none of our business, so it would be better if we asked the villagers about our mission."

"Aren't you interested in Qianqian? Aren't you afraid of her being eaten by that beast?"

"Haha." Zhang Fei [1] laughed and pinched Gu Yan's nose instead. "Ning Qingxue and Xia Qianqian are fine; they are waiting at the edge of the ocean, so you don't need to worry about them. But I couldn't find Xia Leng and the others, and I think they are diving into the ocean to look for the beast. Even so, I don't know its exact strength, so I don't know whether they can deal with it or not.

Since they dared to embark on the mission, they should have understood the risks, and we don't need to interfere in their affairs. Moreover, they are cultivators, so they must be responsible for their own lives."

Gu Yan and Luo Yu released heavy sighs while shaking their heads, especially since Zhang Fei [1] was so apathetic towards others and more egocentric. Even so, they couldn't refute his words, especially since the cultivation world was always like that, so they immediately ignored those people and followed him around the village to look for information about their mission.

However, when asked about it, the villagers' expressions looked strange, and all of them felt reluctant to talk about it.

Since the villagers were acting like that, Zhang Fei [1] decided to take the two women to see the village chief, and he used his demon abilities to put pressure on him. Ultimately, the village chief chose to reveal the truth to them, a revelation that caught them off guard, especially given the mission's connection to the previous demon invasion.

"If the three of you go 200 miles west, then you will find a mountain that is not very big, and there is a very deep cave at the foot of the mountain."

"A cave?"

"Yes." The village chief nodded at them. "In fact, that cave didn't exist in the past, and the demons who invaded this realm created it. Some strong cultivators from this region, especially people from the Liu Clan, have checked it out many times.

However, because the demon miasma in that place was too strong, they couldn't go too deep, and some of their subordinates who went too deep didn't come back. Since then, no one has ventured near the cave, and we are reluctant to discuss it due to its association with the dark history of their invasion.

That's why I find it perplexing that someone would propose a mission to investigate that place, especially given its extreme danger. The cultivation of the three of you is still below Earth Realm, so it would be better if you avoided going there, as it could lead to your deaths."

Zhang Fei [1] shook his head. "Thank you for your advice, village chief. However, we have come a long way to this village, so we will still go there to complete the mission."

"But-"

"It's fine; we have strong self-protection, so it won't be a problem for us."

The village chief sighed heavily as he watched them leave. "Kids these days are really careless, and they are not willing to listen to the words of an old man like me. However, I hope that they will be fine, especially since their future is still very long."
