10: I came very early today!
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, just let me go..."
Already fixed on him, Wen Yunyao almost instantly sensed what bad things he wanted to do and immediately became honest, "Actually, there's no special trick. It's just practicing doing different things with the left and right hands since childhood. Once you get skilled, you can cast different Spells with both hands. If you're really good, you can use different weapons and apply different combat techniques with both hands."
"That's it?"
Isn't this just the Art of Ambidexterity?
He thought there was some special Cultivation method.
"Yes, why? Did you really think there was some special Cultivation method? There aren't that many special Cultivation methods," Wen Yunyao said.
Su Yang: "..."
Indeed, he had overthought it.
But this was good too; as long as he practiced, he could gradually master it, making things simpler.
He would practice slowly when he had time in the future. Perhaps he could also be like her, casting two Spells simultaneously to catch his opponent off guard.
"Enough about that. How do you plan to kill me tonight?" Su Yang asked with a smile, embracing her waist.
"Do you take me for a fool? I'm here to kill you, how could I tell you my plan in advance!"
"Hmph, I won't tell you!" Wen Yunyao smugly raised her head as if she had seen through his trick.
"Not even a little hint?"
"No!"
"Alright, then I'll wait for you."
Su Yang shrugged and smiled, not really caring about her assassination attempt.
Although her strength was growing daily, he shouldn't forget that his daily increase in strength far surpassed hers.
Su Yang even had a premonition that if this girl came to Cultivate with him every night, he might advance from the Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase to the Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase during these seven days of Confinement Room.
"Just wait."
"Tonight, I'll make sure you get what's coming to you!"
Wen Yunyao bared her teeth, feigning fierceness. She knew it was time to go home and suddenly felt a hint of reluctance that even she noticed.
Of course, this feeling of reluctance made her very embarrassed.
"Cough, cough... I'm leaving."
"Go, but remember to bring some paper tonight."
"Got it~~~" Wen Yunyao glared at him and quietly slipped away when no one was looking.
She had just left, but her heart was already looking forward to the night.
"I want it to be night soon so I'll have another chance to kill him!"
"Hmm! Yes! I just want to kill him quickly, I'm not thinking about anything else!" Wen Yunyao muttered to herself.
She didn't realize that a clear smile played on her lips as she justified herself.
The anger and shame from her departure a few days ago had unknowingly vanished, and her mood was noticeably happier and more joyful than ever before.
She flew home, smiling all the way.
She quietly snuck into the backyard.
However, she had spent more time in the Confinement Room today than before, and by the time she returned, her mother, Miao Qingsha, was already Cultivating in the backyard.
Seeing her daughter return, she gave her a meaningful look.
"Yun Yao, when did you go out? Why are you just coming back now?" Wen Yunyao froze, then quickly explained, "Cough, cough... Mother, you're up so early... I slept a bit too much during the day, couldn't sleep at night, so I went to Cultivate. Look, my Cultivation has improved a lot. I haven't been lazy, you know."
"That's really..."
Miao Qingsha asked faintly, "So you've been going out to Cultivate at night recently?"
"Well... yes... During the day, too many people in the Sect are Cultivating, and the Spiritual Qi is all divided up. I found that the Spiritual Qi is more abundant at night, and Cultivating then yields twice the results with half the effort."
Wen Yunyao's heart pounded.
She was terrified that her mother would discover she had been leaving home at night to Cultivate with Su Yang.
She was also clever; not admitting it now would make her more suspicious. By directly admitting to secretly going out to Cultivate at night, she could more reasonably explain the reason for her daily Cultivation improvement.
"Cultivating at night has such great benefits?"
"Yun Yao, have you used some special Cultivation method that has allowed your Cultivation to improve so quickly? While improving a Cultivator's Cultivation is important, one must pay attention to the method. Those Cultivation methods that help rapidly improve Cultivation may not be beneficial in the long run." Miao Qingsha said earnestly.
Wen Yunyao's heart skipped a beat.
Could Mother have discovered something!?
No, she left in the middle of the night every day. Logically, her parents should have been asleep at that time and wouldn't have discovered her leaving home.
"Mother, don't overthink it."
"The Profound Heaven Dao Sect is the number one Sect in the world, the leader of the Eight Great Sects. I wouldn't rely on those messy Cultivation methods to improve my strength."
As she said this, Wen Yunyao herself felt a pang of guilt.
Although she didn't know much about the Demonic Path, she knew that her Cultivation with Su Yang during this period fell under the category of Dual Cultivation. She heard that only the Joyful Union Sect liked to use this Cultivation method.
And the Joyful Union Sect belonged to the proper Demonic Path.
"Good to know." Miao Qingsha smiled faintly upon hearing her daughter's words and didn't say much more, only adding, "You've been Cultivating so hard at night, go back to your room and rest."
"Okay, Mother, I'll go back to my room to rest first." Wen Yunyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and fled back to her room.
After dealing with Su Yang's lingering presence, Wen Yunyao lay on her bed, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
She kept suspecting that her mother might already know about her and Su Yang.
"Should I not go to Su Yang anymore?"
"But... my main purpose is to kill him, not to Cultivate with him..."
"I can't beat him, and being caught by him and used for Cultivation, I'm also very frustrated... That's why I want to kill him even more!"
Wen Yunyao thought about it repeatedly but still couldn't give up the idea of killing him.
Instead, she told herself to be more careful when leaving home in the future and to return as early as possible to avoid being caught by her parents and raising their suspicions.
"Seriously, I'm supposed to be going to kill you, but it feels like I'm sneaking out to meet you behind my parents' backs..."
"Bastard, tonight I'll go early, catch you off guard, and kill you once and for all!" Wen Yunyao patted the quilt, no longer caring about anything else, pulled the quilt over, and went to sleep... Confinement Room.
After Wen Yunyao left, Su Yang, unable to Cultivate for improvement alone, could only try to refine his combat skills.
Wen Yunyao's ability to cast two Spells simultaneously left him in awe.
So after she left, Su Yang began to practice the technique of ambidexterity in his mind.
To be honest, this Art of Ambidexterity was not a particularly profound skill. To put it simply, it was about drawing a square with the left hand and a circle with the right, then gradually deepening the practice to writing with the left hand and drawing with the right, and finally skillfully casting different Spells with both hands.
But!
Theory being simple doesn't mean practice is simple.
Su Yang always thought his Comprehension Ability in learning was strong, but after a day of practicing this Art of Ambidexterity, his brain almost cramped, and he could only barely manage to draw a square with one hand and a circle with the other.
To be able to skillfully cast different Spells with both hands simultaneously, like Wen Yunyao, he still had a long way to go.
It was a bit difficult.
Su Yang didn't intend to give up.
He was not a short-sighted person and deeply understood the unexpected effect of being able to cast two Spells simultaneously in actual combat.
As long as the long-term goal was beneficial, then short-term difficulties should not be a problem.
Su Yang continued to practice.
"So early today?" Su Yang, who was practicing in his Sea of Consciousness, clearly sensed the door of the Confinement Room open.
Strangely, he didn't sense anyone entering. Neither visual nor Divine Sense detection revealed anything.
"This girl must have used some kind of Magic Treasure to hide herself."
This was a tricky problem.
But Su Yang had already envisioned various possible actions for her in his mind these past few days, including the occurrence of this situation.
He was not in a hurry to get up.
Su Yang pressed his right hand to the ground, and a layer of true essence instantly spread across the floor.
She could hide her figure and conceal her aura, but she couldn't truly make herself insubstantial, so her movements would inevitably cause true essence vibrations.
"Found you!" Su Yang's lips curved slightly, and all the true essence instantly converged on Wen Yunyao, who was hidden in the shadows.
"Ah--" Before Wen Yunyao could react, she was caught by a powerful true essence and sent flying.
Su Yang steadily caught her, immediately cast the Spiritual Root Fixing Spell, instantly suppressing her true essence. Wen Yunyao instantly lost her strength and fell limply onto Su Yang...
