A Winter Passed Just Like That

The warm winter sun shone on the white snow, so bright it hurt the eyes.

Fat Dog A Qiu squinted his eyes and lay under the eaves basking in the sun. Although he was still a very young Doggy, his demeanor was that of a lazy old dog entering its twilight years.

Wu Chu felt that he had spoiled it, that it had lost its wolfish nature and only had the laziness of an old dog, and it didn't even have the interest to get up and destroy the house anymore.

Of course, if it really dares to destroy the house, Little Moon Spirit will definitely be the first to destroy it.

However, Little Moon Spirit, who doesn't particularly like winter and has nothing to do, has now gone off to cultivate and refine that Illusion-Breaking Bell.

Wu Chu was willing to cultivate, even though cultivation was quite tedious and boring. However, whenever he felt the Five-Colored Mist within his body grow stronger, the sense of accomplishment completely made up for the tedium and boredom of cultivation.

However, he discovered that as he spent more time cultivating, the efficiency of his cultivation decreased significantly, and his Divine Sense became extremely fatigued.

Wu Chu could understand this, since his cultivation method relied heavily on Divine Sense to guide qi.

Therefore, after a night of cultivation, he would find something to do during the day to pass the long time and to recover his depleted Divine Sense.

Wu Chu didn't know how other Primordial World beings cultivated, but seeing that Little Moon Spirit hadn't stepped out of her room for several days, he knew that the cultivation of other Primordial World beings was not like his at all; their cultivation time could mostly be maintained for a very long time.

In other words, the cultivation methods that Primordial World beings are born with are much less strenuous than the clumsy methods that he, Acquired Beings, figured out on his own.

But there's nothing I can do! Haha...

Wu Chu could only manage a wry smile.

Bored, Wu Chu could only play tree climbing, specifically this Sacred Tree.

He couldn't fly up yet, but the bark of the Sacred Tree was rough, and as long as he found a handhold, he could jump and climb up from below, clinging to the Sacred Tree.

Just like an ordinary person rock climbing, but he can jump. With his current strength, he can jump a hundred or two hundred meters high with all his might. Even if he is not so agile in the trees, jumping dozens of meters should not be a problem.

And he doesn't need to worry about falling, because if he does fall, he'll land safely.

So, that winter, while Little Moon Spirit went into seclusion to refine the Illusion-Breaking Bell, Wu Chu began practicing 'tree climbing' and started practicing martial arts by following the videos provided by Yibao.

In the Primordial World, practicing martial arts actually seems quite low-class.

But think about the Investiture of the Gods World of the Gods and Journey to the Journey to the West, the battles between those immortals and gods... Besides using magic spells, they mostly clashed with magical weapons. If you remove the special effects of those magical weapons, then it's no different from a martial arts fight.

Moreover, from those dreams, Wu Chu could also see that although the battle between the Azure Dragon and the Purple Jade Daoist was mostly a clash of spells, the Azure Dragon would occasionally close in, forcing the Purple Jade Daoist into a flurry of activity.

Therefore, Wu Chu felt that since he couldn't maintain his cultivation for a long time, he could take some time to practice martial arts! Practicing martial arts could make his body more flexible, so if he encountered a close-combat expert in the future, he wouldn't be bullied like Purple Jade Daoist.

Of course, the 'future' here doesn't refer to decades or centuries from now.

In this Primordial World, Wu Chu had no idea how long he would need to cultivate before he could even exchange blows with the immortals from mythology. After all, time was incredibly cheap in this world, with terms like "Epoch" and "Kalpa" appearing at the drop of a hat—it all seemed unbelievable.

And so, winter quietly passed.

Wu Chu wasn't sure if what he was practicing was useful, but he wasn't afraid of just putting on a show.

As the snow melts and everything comes back to life, spring thunder rumbles, and it's time for the animals to...

Uh-huh.

Wu Chu's ice skating plan ultimately failed to materialize.

The main reason was that Little Moon Spirit hadn't come out of seclusion, so Wu Chu had no one to show off to, and even his desire to dance on the ice to the music had faded considerably.

This shows that although Wu Chu kept emphasizing to Yueling that he was just an ordinary person, he actually quite enjoyed the admiring look in Yueling's eyes when she looked at him.

Seeing a fairy looking at him with adoration greatly satisfies Wu Chu's vanity, even though the fairy is actually quite ignorant.

"Brother A Chu ..."

Just as Wu Chu was gazing at the lake where the snow had disappeared and the ice would soon melt completely, and lamenting that his ice skates were no longer of any use, Little Moon Spirit's voice came from the treetop, and then a small figure came riding on the clouds.

"Little Moon Spirit, why did you come out of seclusion?"

Wu Chu's expression clearly showed surprise, "You refined the Illusion-Breaking Bell so quickly?"

"Not yet! I was woken up by the thunder." Little Moon Spirit grinned, revealing her teeth. "By the way, Brother A Chu, are you hungry? Should I cook you some Dragon Meat?"

Wu Chu laughed and said, "Yes, yes! You've been in seclusion for so long, and I've been doing all the cooking myself. I've been missing Little Moon Spirit's cooking for ages!"

Little Moon Spirit giggled and said, "Brother A Chu is being modest again! I'll go get some Dragon Meat."

"Okay, go ahead!"

Wu Chu waved his hand, and after Little Moon Spirit rode away on a cloud, Wu Chu rushed towards the Sacred Tree behind him, running up the Sacred Tree at lightning speed.

Just as his body was about to fall, Wu Chu reached out and dug into the rough bark, using the leverage to leap upwards. In this way, in almost just a few breaths, his figure descended from the base of the Sacred Tree and arrived at its Summit of the Sacred Tree.

This is the result of his practice this winter, and he's quite satisfied with it.

Previously, we needed to find Little Moon Spirit as a "tool," but now he can do it all by himself.

Of course, if you really want to be strict, you could try asking Yibao. But Yibao is a precious Phone Sprite, and asking her would consume your Merit Power.

From a cost-performance perspective, choosing Yibao would be a huge loss.

He has a lot of Merit Power, but he can't waste it on this!

Reaching the Main Hall, he grabbed his ice skates, slung them over his shoulder, and charged through the treetops, plunging headfirst into the air. His body was straight, arms outstretched, feeling the wind rushing down his face and ribs, propelling him faster and faster...

Finally, after spinning several hundred degrees in the air, it landed safely.

Arriving at the lakeside, Wu Chu changed into his ice skates and exclaimed with a smile, "Yibao, music!"

When Little Moon Spirit returned carrying the Dragon Meat, she saw Wu Chu gliding on the ice, occasionally making some rather flashy moves.

If you look closely, you can see that the movements actually look a bit awkward.

"Little Moon Spirit, come here! A Chu will teach you how to ice dance!"

Yibao complained helplessly, "How bored are you!"

"Mind your own business!"
