BOOM!
The ship suddenly began shaking violently for a second time, snapping Yuan out of his daze.
“Wow, this one is quite powerful. Did we encounter a powerful Sea Demon already? We’ve only been out in the sea for half a day.” Qin Kai muttered in a low voice.
The shaking lasted a few more moments more than the previous time.
“Half a day…?” Yuan suddenly realized something, and he tilted his head to look up into the ceiling of the ship.
“Meixiu, Lulu, I won’t be logging off until I finish this trial. Please take care of everything until I am done.” He spoke to them in the spectators’ room.
“Who are you talking to?” Qin Kai also looked at the ceiling with raised eyebrows.
“Oh, I was just talking to myself.”
“What a weirdo.” Qin Kai chuckled.
Meanwhile, in the spectators’ room, Meixiu said to Chu Liuxiang, “I am going to log off. What about you?”
“I will stay here and continue watching Yuan in case anything happens.”
Meixiu’s eyebrows twitched slightly when she realized something.
‘She’s no longer addressing him as ‘Brother Yuan’… Did something happen between them?’
“Okay, then I will check up on you once in a while.”
Meixiu logged off shortly after to notify the other members that Yuan will be busy for a week.
“A week? What’s he doing inside Cultivation Online that requires so much time?” Wang Ming asked out of curiosity.
“He’s challenging the Stairway to Heaven right now.”
“Oh, I have heard of that place. It’s where Cultivators go to ascend to the next world, right?”
Meixiu nodded.
“Alright. Training is going to be a bit boring without him, but it’s only a week. Thank you for letting us know.”
Everybody accepted the news without much problem.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye for Yuan, who was constantly cultivating and looking through his memories.
The ship shook over a dozen times over the last two days, but the warriors hired by the ship had managed to deal with the Sea Demons without any problem.
Besides the shaking from time to time, Yuan’s trial has been very relaxing— suspiciously so.
This made him wonder if the real trial was at the Giant’s Continent.
However, that peace would end soon.
“We have company. Be alert.” Qin Kai suddenly said to him in a low voice.
Yuan opened his eyes to see a group of people that had the appearance of mercenaries slowly approaching their direction.
One look and anybody can tell that they were trouble.
Both Yuan and Qin Kai stood up.
