The Sword of the Spirit Hunter
CHAPTER 45 | Hill of Death – Team training

He Xian smiled wryly at the words of his Master, he indeed did not particularly like the cultivation training he thought was boring.

“He Xian, using magic power also requires your cultivation energy. The greater your cultivation energy, the stronger the magic power generated by it” said Master Liu Ba

He Xian had not been ignorant of the basics, only that he did not feel that he needed such immense power to use his magic power all along. So he chose to deepen his magic knowledge only.

“Since you have decided to become part of the monster hunting team, you must become stronger. The enemies you face are not easy. Hisawamu and your friends become stakes” continued his Master back

This time He Xian's face was stunned at the words of his Master, before he had only thought of himself. Now that he decided to join Xiaozi and his friends, he also had to become even stronger.

He recalled some of his fights in monster hunting earlier, he couldn't help his friends much. Even he was almost injured if not saved by Shan Mui and Chen Yan as the three of them hunted monsters near Mount Wushan.

Compared to Chen Yan who had now been at the Bronze level 3, his cultivation strength was one level stronger, as well, but in Chen Yan's fight using a secret weapon was more effective than He Xian's magic which required more time to cast spells and hand gestures, not to mention his magic wand also needed time to awaken his power.

While in the Snake clan, Shan Mui's cultivation strength was below her but while at Wushan Mountain, Shan Mui had surpassed her and was now at the Silver level 1.

Only He Xian's cultivation strength had not improved, since from the Snake clan's territory he had only been busy studying the high-level magic books given by the Snake Queen to him.

“Teacher, thank you for reminding me. I promise to increase my cultivation strength” said He Xian who had now decided to catch up on cultivating.

Master Liu Ba smiled at the spirit of his student, a brat who used to play around and use magic just for playing and having fun has now changed because of his friends.

“Practice! When you break through the Silver stage, I will prepare a gift for you” said his Master even more excited He Xian.

“Good Guru” He Xian bowed his head saluting his teacher.

In the special training room 3 hours had passed, Xiaozi had increased the gravity within the room by 50x, his body felt heavier than before but his power adjustment in the level 1 Diamond realm became faster. Now he could use his strength as he pleased.

Xiaozi tried to move inside the special training room by taking out his sword moves. The movement that initially feels heavy, the longer it looks lighter and the speed increases.

“The Sword Respiratory Book from Master Luo is very effective at strengthening the sword stance of the Sky” Sword Cultivation Book Xiaozi muttered as he adjusted his breathing before returning to practice.

The Celestial Sword Cultivation Book was currently its courtyard already opened up to the Pearl stage. In the book there are only 3 styles, namely the Cloud Fire Sword Technique, the Sword Force Splitting the Earth and Sky and the Sky Universal Sword Force.

“It is time for me to learn the next two styles, because the strength of my cultivation is already at the Diamond level 1” Xiaozi muttered

Xiaozi sat down and studied the two swords one by one. He repeated the reading to understand it, then practiced it using his Spirit Hunter sword. In the next 3 hours he had already started memorizing the movements of the two sword moves.

Xiaozi sat cross-legged to catch his breath after practicing the sword technique, “I have already memorized the movements of the two moves. Now just stay deep again to master it”

“I've been in this room long enough, I'd better get some rest. Tomorrow you can resume” mumbled Xiaozi who then stood about to get out of the special training room.

“I was waiting my turn to train inside” He Xian smiled at him.

Xiaozi was puzzled to see the excited-looking face of He Xian from before. He looked He Xian in the eyes closer to investigating, “You're healthy right?” ask Xiaozi quietly.

He Xian's eyes twitched at Xiaozi's question pitched the insinuation, “What do you mean?” he Xian said in a higher tone and glared at Xiaozi

Xiaozi retreated slightly seeing his friend glaring at him, “Ah no. I'm just surprised, you who used to enjoy reading books while we were practicing cultivation, now suddenly want to practice cultivation. Has your book finished reading?” Xiaozi smiled wryly while scratching his head.

He Xian snorted at Xiaozi's words, he did not answer them as he went towards the special training room to practice.

“It looks like something is wrong with the contents of his head” Xiaozi muttered in his heart

Xiaozi simply shrugged his shoulders then left that special training room to meet with Shan Mui and Chen Yan.

Shan Mui and Chen Yan appeared to be training in a rubble on Death Hill. They seemed eager to catch up with Xiaozi because they did not want to be a burden for him when fighting the next monsters.

The two beauties were training seriously without realizing Xiaozi who had come to pay attention to their training for a few minutes.

“They look more beautiful and graceful when sweating like that” Xiaozi murmured in her heart.

Shan Mui suddenly turned her head towards Xiaozi who seemed to be looking at her with eyes as if stripping her naked. He became annoyed then attacked Xiaozi with his nurse

“Eh... “Xiaozi was surprised because Shan Mui suddenly attacked him. He jumped dodging but Shan Mui did not let go. His movements the longer the faster he attacked Xiaozi with his sword.

“Ka...You want to kill me?” yell Xiaozi

But Shan Mui did not listen to Xiaozi's screams, she continued to attack Xiaozi who had been dodging now started to hold back with her hands. Seeing his attack could be held up empty-handed by Xiaozi, Shan Mui further increased his attacks.

Suddenly several knives were seen pointing down his stomach, making Xiaozi dodge by jumping backwards. Xiaozi's eyes widened to see three knives stuck on the ground. Xiaozi turned his head in annoyance towards Chen Yan who was smiling at him.

“Ka...You guys are crazy? You want to cut off my descendants?” xiaozi shouted annoyedly at Chen Yan.

“Hihihi.. anyway that thing was never used” said Chen Yan while sneering at Xiaozi.

“You! Feel it, I will use it on you.” shouted Xiaozi who directly charged towards Chen Yan.

“Kyaa..!” Chen Yan shouted seeing Xiaozi about to ambush him
