Cultivation Online

Chapter 896 - Not Created for Humans

"Don't worry, it's just 6 levels. I have fought demons an entire realm stronger in Cultivation Online." Yuan gave him a confident thumbs up.

"But that's Cultivation Online, where you are much more powerful and have more resources to deal with demons…" Wang Ming sighed.

Sometime later, Yuan said, "Anyways, we'll begin training the day after tomorrow. I suggest you take this time to familiarize yourself with the demon. It will also have a much stronger aura than the previous demon, so prepare yourself mentally as well."

After their briefing, Li Jinxi and Yuan went to another part of the training area, where they would not disturb the others with their training.

"Go ahead and use that technique whenever you're ready. However, don't just activate it. I want you to slowly increase your own strength using the technique. Remember, we're training on your control right now."

Li Jinxi nodded, and she closed her eyes.

After taking a deep breath, she began using her technique.

At first, her body would emit a small amount of killing intent, and it would steadily increase.

However, after a few moments, almost as though she lost control, the red aura began expanding rapidly.

Eventually, Li Jinxi completely lost control, and she started going on a rampage.

Her eyes snapped open, revealing her crimson eyes that flowed with killing intent.

And she started attacking Yuan with her sword.

"Calm down. You can regain control." Yuan didn't immediately knock her out and tried to calm her down.

A few minutes later, without any success, Yuan decided to knock Li Jinxi unconscious.

After catching her falling body, he gently laid her on the ground.

"This is going to be more problematic than I'd anticipated…" He sighed in a low voice.

Li Jinxi would wake up shortly after.

"Do you feel any pain?" He asked her.

"No, I am fine. Let's continue." Li Jinxi said.

Thus, they continued to train until Li Jinxi started experiencing backlash an hour later.

When that happened, Yuan carried her into her room and began massaging her body.

"Sorry for the inconvenience…" She apologized to him while she soaked in medicine.

"Don't worry, I don't think it's bothersome. By the way, can you tell me more about the technique? If I understand it better, perhaps I can figure out how to train you."

After pondering for a moment, she nodded, "Wait until I am finished."

"Sure."

An hour later, Li Jinxi emerged from the bathtub and left the bathroom while still soaking wet.

"You'll catch a cold like that." Yuan smiled.

"I have never caught a cold before," she calmly said.

Then she walked to her closet and retrieved a wooden box from inside.

"Here."

She handed the box to Yuan afterward.

Yuan raised his eyebrows and opened the box to find a scroll inside.

"What's this?"

"The technique," she calmly responded.

"You mean the actual technique? Isn't this supposed to be your family's secret technique? Are you sure you want to hand it to me? You should consult with your family first…" Yuan said in a baffled voice.

He didn't expect Li Jinxi to hand him the entire technique.

"It's fine. Nobody in the family can use the technique, anyway." She calmly nodded.

"That's not the point." Yuan smiled.

"It's really fine. I won't tell my family," she said.

"Alright, I will borrow it then."

Yuan returned to his room shortly after.

After returning to his room, Yuan began studying Li Jinxi's mysterious technique.

'There's no name for this technique?' Yuan realized at glance that the technique was a nameless one.

About an hour later, Yuan placed the technique down and started to ponder.

'I see… It's no wonder why most people cannot learn this technique. The strain it puts on one's body is simply ludicrous. In fact, this technique… It wasn't created for humans…'

Yuan became even more impressed by Li Jinxi after realizing this fact.

'I'm surprised she managed to learn this technique. But this begs the question… Who is this technique made for? Magical beasts? Divine Beasts? And how did the Li Family acquire this technique?'

Once he understood the technique, Yuan returned to Li Jinxi, who was resting in her bed.

"Come inside." Li Jinxi said after hearing his knock on the door.

"Hey, I am finished with the technique, so I am here to return it. I learned a few things about this technique that you should be aware of." Yuan said as he placed the scroll on the desk beside her desk.

"You're finished with the technique already? It's only been an hour." She stared at him with a baffled look on her face as she sat up on her bed.

'She's still naked?' Yuan thought to himself after seeing Li Jinxi's appearance when the blankets moved.

He then spoke, "Yes, I have a lot of questions too, but first, you should know the true nature of this technique."

"This nameless technique… It wasn't made for humans."

"Huh?" Li Jinxi raised her eyebrows.

"Not made for humans? Is that why nobody else in my family could learn it? But how come I can learn it? Does this mean… I'm not human?" Li Jinxi looked more curious and fascinated than terrified at the possibility that she wasn't human.

"No, you're definitely human. The reason you're able to learn the technique is due to your unique physique. I noticed this when I massaged your body, but your muscles and bones are naturally beyond human capabilities, which allows your body to endure much more stress than normally capable. However, since you're human, you won't be able to fully utilize the technique's full capabilities— at least not in your current state."

"I see… Is this also why I have backlashes?" Li Jinxi then asked.

"Yes." He nodded.

"Then what should I do?"

"Since it's related to your physique, you must continue to strengthen your body. I believe that will be your fastest way to master this technique. The next is your control. As long as you can control the technique so that it doesn't exceed your limits, you won't experience any backlashes."

"But I have been doing that since I started cultivating," she said.

"Yes, but have you ever been pushed to your absolute limits?" He asked.

"Pushed to my limits…?" Li Jinxi raised her eyebrows in a questioning manner.
