The days of quietly getting stronger always pass quickly. Since Wang Cheng obtained the Ten Thousand Lines Flow, five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five months, Wang Cheng didn't go out much, with Jiang Mingyue handling all the affairs.

Although she had a pair of wings on her back, walking around openly like this was not a big deal.

Apart from a pair of semi-transparent wings, Jiang Mingyue was no different from an ordinary human. Ordinary people would only assume they were props.

Of course, Jiang Mingyue was already quite conspicuous in the Mingyue Community wearing her maid outfit. Now that she had added a pair of wings, everyone in the entire Mingyue Community thought Wang Cheng had unique tastes.

Wang Cheng didn't care about this. Since he had little contact with others, he let them say whatever they wanted.

In these five months, Wang Cheng also witnessed Jiang Mingyue's changes.

Jiang Mingyue was already a woman of few words. After getting revenge, she became even more taciturn. Wang Cheng even felt that for a period, she was like a walking dead, mechanically doing things.

Fortunately, this state did not last long. After about ten days, Jiang Mingyue changed.

Although she still spoke little, her state was completely different. She began to cultivate, and she cultivated crazily.

Every day, after completing the tasks assigned by Wang Cheng, she spent the rest of her time absorbing cosmic energy.

Possessing the bloodline of a Domain Lord level race, Jiang Mingyue could naturally get stronger every day without doing anything. With her actively absorbing cosmic energy, her rate of improvement was incredibly fast.

Although far from Wang Cheng's, in just five months, she had already reached Planet level eighth order!

Although Planet level was the easiest stage to progress in, three stages in five months was indeed far beyond Earthlings. It was worth noting that Thor and Hong had been Planet level for decades, and they were only seventh and sixth order respectively!

Of course, Jiang Mingyue's body foundation was stronger than theirs, but in a real fight, she was definitely no match for them. This was because Jiang Mingyue was currently obsessed with absorbing cosmic energy, and her movement techniques, body force generation, combat skills, and so on were still at her High-level War General stage. Since she discovered how fast she could absorb cosmic energy, she had not paid attention to these things at all!

Five months later--

Wang Cheng called Jiang Mingyue over as she finished cleaning and was about to absorb cosmic energy.

"Ready to continue cultivating?" Wang Cheng asked with a smile.

Hearing Wang Cheng's question, Jiang Mingyue was slightly stunned, but she immediately nodded.

She had never hidden her cultivation during this period, so there was nothing to deny. The only thing that puzzled Jiang Mingyue was that Wang Cheng had never cared about this matter before. Why was he suddenly asking about it today?

"Brother Cheng, don't worry, I won't delay other things!" Jiang Mingyue promised.

"I didn't say you couldn't cultivate!" Wang Cheng smiled. He continued, "However, you've done so much work for me. I can't bear to see you go astray, so I'm going to remind you!"

"Go astray?" Jiang Mingyue looked at Wang Cheng with some confusion.

"I see you usually only cultivate your gene energy but neglect other aspects. Do you think this is enough?" Wang Cheng asked.

"."

Jiang Mingyue said nothing, but judging by her expression, she clearly thought so.

"You were a High-level War General before, so you should know that pure strength is not the only factor determining strength!" Wang Cheng looked at Jiang Mingyue with some confusion. This was a simple truth that many people knew!

"Brother Cheng, ever since my transformation, the bottleneck in absorbing cosmic energy disappeared, and the absorption speed is very fast!" Jiang Mingyue said without hesitation.

"My current rate of improvement is astonishing. As long as I keep getting stronger, future enemies will only be crushed by me. Spending time practicing those techniques is a waste of time!"

"So that's what you think?" Wang Cheng nodded slightly. In a limited scope, Jiang Mingyue's idea was not entirely wrong.

For example, on Earth, if Jiang Mingyue spent time practicing other things, she might not be Thor and Hong's opponent even after ten years. But if she focused on gene energy, within one or two years, Jiang Mingyue could break through to Stellar level, and then Thor and Hong would definitely not be able to defeat her!

"."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Cheng then said, "I'll take you somewhere!"

"Huh?"

Jiang Mingyue was slightly stunned. The next moment, Wang Cheng placed his hand on her shoulder.

Jiang Mingyue felt a moment of dizziness, and then she found herself on a desolate mountain.

"Where is this?"

Jiang Mingyue looked around in astonishment. The surroundings were filled with white mist, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"This is where I train, for now!" Wang Cheng smiled. "Wait here, I'll find you an opponent!"

"Brother Cheng, what do you mean by opponent?" Jiang Mingyue quickly asked.

"Just what it means!" Wang Cheng didn't say more. He moved his body and disappeared in front of Jiang Mingyue. After a moment, Wang Cheng reappeared in front of Jiang Mingyue with someone similar in size to him.

However, this person had a layer of special power on their face, making it impossible for Jiang Mingyue to see their face clearly!

"You are Planet level eighth order, and he is Planet level first order!" Wang Cheng said directly. "If you can defeat him, I'll give you half a year off to cultivate to your heart's content!"

"Really, Brother Cheng?" A hint of joy appeared on Jiang Mingyue's face. She had indeed become addicted to the feeling of constantly getting stronger, but she usually had to help Wang Cheng with various chores, making her cultivation not as satisfying!

However, as time passed, Jiang Mingyue understood more and more how precious the "Domain Lord level bloodline potion" Wang Cheng gave her was. Therefore, she had no complaints. This was what she should do after receiving benefits!

But even if she didn't complain, if she could have half a year off, that would certainly be something Jiang Mingyue was very willing to do!

"Of course, it's true!" Wang Cheng nodded faintly.

"What if I lose?" Jiang Mingyue asked.

"If you lose, your service time to me will increase by ten years!" Wang Cheng smiled.

"Alright!"

Jiang Mingyue readily agreed. The amount of time she had already served Wang Cheng was astronomical, and she couldn't be bothered to think about it. Moreover, Jiang Mingyue always believed Wang Cheng had avenged her great enemy for her, and she had prepared to serve Wang Cheng for a lifetime!

Adding another ten years now was just a drop in the bucket!

"Then let's begin!" Wang Cheng said, and then he instantly retreated over a thousand meters.

On the mountaintop, Jiang Mingyue looked at the indistinct figure opposite her, her heart filled with confidence.

She was Planet level eighth order. Her Body Foundation alone was 128 times stronger than this person's. With such a massive gap, even if the opponent had any troublesome tricks, she would definitely be the one to win.

Could Brother Cheng just be finding an excuse to give me a break, so I have a chance to cultivate properly? Jiang Mingyue wondered. At the same time, she didn't hesitate. Her powerful aura locked onto the figure opposite her and she charged forward.
