Sun-Day Art

'Ding. This simulation has ended.'

'Selectable items this time: one bottle of Grade One Rejuvenation Pills, the Earth-tier Low-grade Technique Sun-Day Art, and the Deep-tier Advanced Technique Rejuvenation Technique.'

'Choose the Earth-tier Low-grade Technique Sun-Day Art.'

'I didn't expect to be killed in a secret realm during this simulation. And Xiao Jie in the Simulator had already become a Dou Wang six or seven years later. That was pretty good, though his death was a little too hasty.'

Of the three options, only the Sun-Day Art suited him best. Whether he practiced it or not was another matter; he would take it first.

Only because he had the Simulator did he dare think like this. The highest-grade technique in the Xiao Clan was merely a Deep-tier Intermediate Technique, and only the clan head and elders were allowed to practice it. Even then, they could not cultivate it if their attributes did not match.

Xiao Jie shook his head and cast those thoughts from his mind. Looking at the technique floating before him, he did not even bother to inspect it before casually storing it in his Storage Ring. He was only at Dou Qi Tier Three right now; techniques could only be used by Dou Zhes, so there was no point in looking at it.

When he opened his door, he saw that it was already late. Both his parents had returned home, and when they saw Xiao Jie come out, they asked:

"Jie'er, you're still young. You don't need to cultivate so diligently. It's fine to go out and have some fun."

His mother spoke gently. She was a mild and graceful woman who doted on Xiao Jie greatly. Moreover, Xiao Jie had been sensible since childhood and never caused his parents worry. He was very obedient.

"Jie'er, have you been cultivating so hard every day because Young Master Xiao Yan has inspired you? Your father doesn't actually expect you to be as outstanding as him. As long as you develop normally and stay safe, that's enough."

"Father, it isn't as you think. I simply enjoy the feeling of cultivation."

"Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. Just take care of your body. You're still young, so you can't neglect food and sleep because of cultivation, understand?"

"I understand, Father."

"Then come eat with us. Your mother specially made this early for you today. You haven't come out for so long that she wanted to call you several times."

"Yes. Thank you, Mother."

"Come, Jie'er, eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

"Jie'er, your diligence in cultivation makes your father very pleased. Have you cultivated any Dou Qi over these past few days?"

"Father, I've already reached Dou Qi Tier One. I can feel my own progress. I believe that within half a year, I'll reach Dou Qi Tier Two."

"Good! It seems our child is even better than his father. If what Jie'er says is true, then he'll at least become a Dou Shi-level expert in the future."

"Yes, our child has been sensible since he was little. It's perfectly normal for him to have such cultivation talent. But child, you must remember to rest properly, understand?"

"I understand, Mother."

Clearly, although his father and mother did not believe that Xiao Jie had already reached Dou Qi Tier Three, reaching Dou Qi Tier One in about a year was considered normal enough, so they were very happy.

Xiao Jie had no plans to tell them that he was already at Dou Qi Tier Three. Telling them now would bring him no tangible benefits. If the clan found out, there might be trouble, so it was better to keep it hidden.

After dinner, Xiao Jie returned to his room and continued cultivating. He loved the feeling of being able to sense himself gradually growing stronger at every moment. Though the progress was slight, he could feel it, and that feeling intoxicated him.

The next day, Xiao Jie spent it cultivating as usual. The days passed just like that.

Ten days later, the Simulator had another chance to simulate. That day, Xiao Jie returned to his room.

"Simulator, begin the simulation!"
