Yan Xiaobao’s previous experience in Velocity Flow and his old occupation as a university student greatly helped him as he tried to understand and practice low-ranking Martial Arts Skills. Yan Xiaobao had to admit that his success was solely due to the simplicity of the low-ranking techniques.
This month felt faster than usual, as Yan Xiaobao practiced these Martial Arts Skills and cultivated alongside the Rong twins. The goal of Rong’s return was to ensure that Yan Xiaobao would master and refine these three Martial Arts Skills by the age of ten.
Upon hearing that Yan Xiaobao had sufficient skills to beco a cultivator, the village was proud. They even supported the Hui Clan more than ever before. The village elders proposed to let Xia Lang take over the long-term chores of tending to the goats so Yan Xiaobao could focus on cultivation.
At first, Yan Xiaobao was sowhat irritated by the extra attention everyone was paying him. He quickly rejected the proposal to have Xia Lang take over his chores. He needed the daily trips to the mountains for privacy and to practice his Martial Arts Skills.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before the village returned to its usual rhythm. Everyone beca busy with their own work while trying to survive in this impoverished village.
Month after month passed, and Yan Xiaobao spent his ti practicing his Speed Flow techniques and the three skills given to him by Rong Ming. These three were known as Furious Strike, Smashing Kick Boxing, and Stone Fist.
The Rong entourage planned to revisit the village after a year passed. Yan Xiaobao would take one month off to tend to the goats, all while recalling Rong Ming’s teachings and refining the three Martial Arts Skills he had acquired in his early years.
Ti moved on, and Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng honed their Martial Arts Skills, refining the quality of their Qi. At tis, it felt as though they were rushing, as the two of them strived to reach the five-star student level before entering the Royal Academy.
Soon, three years had passed, and ten-year-old Yan Xiaobao had advanced. Six months earlier during the frigid winter, he successfully achieved the level of Fifth Star and mastered three low-ranking Martial Arts Skills through Velocity Flow.
After years of intense training, Velocity Flow was completed a year ago. Lan Feng had since promised to teach him another advanced technique.
The new skill was a low-ranking defensive technique from the Duke Guard, called Qi Guard. An unknown cultivator developed this skill to activate a spiritual energy shield after unlocking the Middle Dantian.
Though this guard wasn’t as strong as a spiritual energy shield, it was still the most powerful defensive skill a practitioner below the Master level could achieve. Yan Xiaobao hoped Lan Feng would give him a powerful offensive Martial Arts Skill, but Phoenix had already drunk and grumbled that ever since Hui Ming had received Rong Ming’s three attack skills, Yan Xiaobao didn’t need another from Lan Feng.
Yan Xiaobao stood in the village square, blessing his parents and all the other villagers who had gathered to wish him well before heading off to the Royal Art Academy.
The Rong entourage had visited the Magic Forest, but this ti, they wouldn’t return directly to Liluo City. Instead, they would return to the village to pick up Yan Xiaobao.
Both Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng were incredibly excited, as they finally had the opportunity to leave the ho where they had lived for the past ten years in this new world. Although Lan Feng was native to this world, he couldn’t discern whether he was still in his old Kingdom or what had changed since his last visit.
The boy and Phoenix both realized the risks involved in entering the Royal Art Academy. Although Lan Feng could nearly perfectly conceal himself within Yan Xiaobao’s body, there were still variables that needed to be accounted for.
Lan Feng used his Holy Position ranking to hide himself, but if he were to encounter another Holy Position expert, they could recognize Lan Feng’s presence. Additionally, experts ranked under the King and Emperor might sense that sothing was concealed within Yan Xiaobao’s body. However, they wouldn’t be able to penetrate the defensive layers Lan Feng had established in Qi Cave at his ho.
Furthermore, although Lan Feng was concealed within Yan Xiaobao, he couldn’t entirely suppress his aura, letting part of it seep out, which would scare off any Demon Beasts that ca near.
Nonetheless, both Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng thought that, despite the dangers, they needed to seize the opportunity to attend the Royal Art Academy’s enrollnt ceremony.
Joining the Royal Art Academy would greatly aid Yan Xiaobao in his cultivation. Lan Feng had promised that once he reached the disciple level, refining Qi would beco significantly easier. To achieve this, he would need to rely on cultivation rooms rich in natural essence and pills that could directly increase the amount of Qi. Otherwise, since each Star required increasingly refined Qi, both Lan Feng and Yan Xiaobao would be stuck at the student level for a long ti. Now, the requirents to break through to higher Stars had soared, as Yan Xiaobao had already reached the Fifth Star level.
The village was thrilled to have produced soone capable of studying at the Royal Art Academy. They saved up enough money to buy him a new set of clothes.
Yan Xiaobao dressed in his new garnts, a white robe embroidered with blue and tied with a blue silk sash at the waist, awaiting Rong’s envoy to take him away. This fabric was far more luxurious than anything Yan Xiaobao had ever owned. He felt deeply moved, knowing the cost of such clothing was undoubtedly a considerable burden for this impoverished village.
The village won also took ti to nd and wash all his remaining clothes to ensure they were in the best condition when Yan Xiaobao arrived at the Academy.
Yan Xiaobao was acutely aware that his family couldn’t afford any fees associated with attending school in the town. Fortunately, the Royal Art Academy had no tuition costs, and lodging and food expenses were covered by the Royal Family. Clearly, the Academy’s nationwide presence was often used to discover and cultivate talent, instilling a sense of belonging to the Royal Academy, and thereby loyalty to the Royal Family.
