Xiang Yu observed the day’s advancements with quiet satisfaction. Despite having already broken through to the second layer of Qi Gathering, he was still able to gain fifty new points. He surmised these points came from the new techniques he had been training which required transforming his qi into different elemental forms. After the system’s doubling effect, this brought him to a hundred points, meaning that he was guaranteed a breakthrough to the third stage after the next reset. Such speed was remarkable even to him.
But what surprised him even more was that his transcendent dao physique had actually gained three points. He hadn’t expected to be able to increase the points of this extraordinary physique at all and wondered what had caused it to improve. From what he understood of the transcendent dao physique, it possessed a feature that allowed him to cultivate all sorts of essences. He reasoned that it had increased because he had transformed his qi into the five elements.
He made a mental note to expand his studies to other elements as well. That way, he would be able to further improve his transcendent dao physique, unlocking more of its boundless potential.
Another stat that had increased greatly was his enlightenment, jumping by a whole forty points. He speculated this was probably because he had created new techniques. To increase his enlightenment even more, it seemed he would need to continue innovating and crafting techniques of his own rather than merely practicing established arts.
As for the elemental techniques, he had managed to gain ten points for each after practicing diligently, and they were now at twenty after the doubling effect. His spirit flame appeared to have entered the thousands and was now picking up pace in its development. Speaking of flame, his cooking skill was actually just a hundred points away from breaking through to fourth grade.
Xiang Yu contemplated how the fifth-grade meals were already useful for cultivation and wondered just how much more beneficial the fourth-grade ones would be. His mouth watered not because of the taste but rather because of the benefits it might bring him.
After inspecting all the day’s progress, he pulled up his full status panel:
[Name: Xiang Yu]

His eyes lingered on the numbers, checking out each line with a sense of accomplishment.
After admiring the numbers for a while, letting the satisfaction of progress wash over him, Xiang Yu finally decided it was time to return to training. According to his carefully planned routine, it was now time for his mind cultivation. He settled into a comfortable meditative posture, his breathing slowing to a measured rhythm. Within moments, his consciousness detached from his physical form, instantly drifting into the vast expanse of his spiritual sea.
...
The following day,
Xiang Yu slowly opened his eyes from his meditation as the sun was starting to rise. According to his routine, it was time for qi practice and cooking, so he quickly set out to look for something to cook. He covered the entire pavilion with his qi sense, instantly detecting the location of some wild boars. At the same time, he also noticed some people snooping around the pavilion—their cultivations were just at the Qi Gathering stage so he didn’t care about them much.
He wondered if they were also subordinates of Elder Mei. It seems they have already noticed that Wang Wei is missing. Still, Xiang Yu just hoped they would continue their snooping and not find trouble with him; otherwise, he would have to get rid of them too.
As he thought of this, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. If the elder found out that his assassin had gone missing, would he send an even stronger one? Or worse, would he come to finish the job off himself? Just the thought alone made him shiver involuntarily. For one to become an elder, they had to have at least Core Formation realm strength. Xiang Yu didn’t want to have such a formidable opponent after him.
