"That's how it is. We don't know why they keep bullying us, even trying to kill us. We didn't do anything wrong," Ruan Xiaoling said tearfully.
Ruan Xiaoshuang nodded, looking aggrieved.
Perhaps the two women narrowly escaped death, or perhaps it was because Ling Yi's Divine Weapon.
The two women seemed to have found someone to vent to, and they recounted all the grievances they had suffered during this period.
At first, Ling Yi felt quite sympathetic. What beautiful young girls they were! How could those people do such a thing?
But as Ling Yi listened, he began to sense that something was amiss.
Ling Yi frowned as he looked at the two of them; they were complete crybabies!
"Didn't you guys look for the reasons within yourselves? Why do they only bully you and not others?" Ling Yi asked.
These were the words that a stupid teacher said to Ling Yi when he was being bullied at school in his previous life.
This is a classic example of victim blaming.
Ling Yi was depressed for almost half a year because of those words, until he heard them again when he went to university.
This time, it was Brother Yi roommates who said it.
But the meaning is completely different.
"Why don't you resist?" Ling Yi asked.
"You are human, and they are human too. You all have the same Spiritual Root; none of you have Qi Refining. You are all ordinary people, and none of you are much stronger than the other."
"If you resist even once, they will become wary; if you resist fiercely, they will be terrified."
Have you ever thought about rebelling?
"But if we resist, we'll be beaten even worse!" Ruan Xiaoling shook her head.
"That's because you weren't ruthless enough!"
Ling Yi shook his head. The two girls' timid personalities were not formed overnight; they were probably related to their lives from childhood.
Both of them lost their parents when they were young and lived with their uncle and aunt's family.
My uncle and aunt's family are not good people.
The reason I kept them was that I wanted to sell them for a good price when they were about the same age.
Therefore, my uncle and aunt's family naturally didn't treat them well.
They would resort to beatings and verbal abuse at the slightest provocation, and any resistance would only result in even more brutal beatings.
Over time, this led to his current timid and cowardly personality.
Later, Plague broke out in our hometown, and all eight members of my uncle's and aunt's family contracted the Plague, resulting in the death of an entire family.
The two women were Luck enough to survive, and with some money, they left their hometown.
After some twists and turns, I met several people who were on their way to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to worship the Immortal Gate.
That's when I learned about the existence of immortals and heard many stories about them.
Yearning for immortals, he followed these people, enduring countless hardships and trekking thousands of miles to reach the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
He eventually joined the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and became a menial disciple.
Changing two people's personalities is not something that can be done overnight.
"Didn't you get the system? Now, follow the system's requirements and strive to become stronger. Only when you become strong will you no longer be bullied."
"And another thing, you're not allowed to cry anymore!"
"Yes, Senior Brother!" Ruan Xiaoshuang wiped away her tears and bowed deeply to Ling Yi. "From now on, we will listen to Senior Brother."
"Me too!" Ruan Xiaoling quickly followed suit, clasping her hands in a fist salute.
Even his fist salute was weak and lacked any imposing presence or power, leaving Ling Yi speechless.
Oh well, I'll just treat them as two mascots.
Afterwards, Ling Yi chose a room nearby to stay in temporarily.
It will take about another month for the Spirit Martial Realm to complete the First Tier of evolution.
Ling Yi plans to stay here for the next month.
Ling Yi told Shen Qingyue and the others about Ruan Xiaoling and her sister, and also told them about his own plan.
Tell them to prepare themselves so that once the Spirit Martial Realm has evolved, they can go directly to the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Martial Continent is ultimately just a small world, and still the Hunting ground of the Liu Clan.
If they stay on the Immortal Martial Continent, their strength will only be stuck at the Human Immortal Realm.
If you wish to further improve your cultivation, you must travel to the Immortal Realm.
Yunshu, Shen Qingyue, and Zhuang Yuerong had no objections, but Gao Lan and Mengli wanted Ling Yi to include the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the Spirit Martial Realm and take it all with him.
Yunshu, Shen Qingyue, and Zhuang Yuerong, the three women, did not have deep feelings for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and did not have many Bond.
But Mengli and Gao Lan are different.
They grew up in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from a young age, so naturally they have deep feelings for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Especially Mengli, whose own mother is the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so naturally she wants to Ascension to the Immortal Realm with her mother!
Ling Yi had no objection to this matter. The Spirit Martial Realm was so vast that they could simply find any planet for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to use as its base.
This is no big deal.
After receiving Ling Yi's affirmative answer, the five women split into two groups.
Yunshu and Zhuang Yuerong followed Shen Qingyue to her hometown, while Gao Lan and Mengli went to find the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
A month passed quickly.
That morning, Ling Yi came out of his room and saw Ruan Xiaoshuang doing push-ups in the yard.
A petite, delicate-looking Xiaomei is doing push-ups, and she's doing three push-ups in a second.
Nearby, there were several fresh Demonic Beast corpses.
The corpses of these Foundation Establishment Realm Demonic Beast looked extremely distorted, as if they had been smashed by a sledgehammer.
Clearly, his death was far from peaceful.
"Another Demonic Beast is coming?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, last night, there were two Qi Refining Realm Demonic Beast and three Foundation Establishment Realm Demonic Beast."
Ling Yi waved his hand, storing the corpses of these Demonic Beast into the Spirit Martial Realm.
This situation has occurred frequently over the past month.
No matter how remote their location was, all the Demonic Beast in the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains were converging on the Biannan Region.
Some Demonic Beast will always come here.
But as the two women's strength improved, Ling Yi decided to let them try to solve the problem on their own.
At this moment, both women had reached the Late Foundation Establishment and were about to reach the Golden Core Realm.
This has only been a month.
While this speed couldn't match that of Shen Qingyue and the others, it was certainly not slow either.
Ruan Xiaoshuang is Get Stronger by Working Hard System, and the newbie reward is Infinite Stamina.
Following the system's recommendations, I exercise for ten hours every day.
The rest of the time is Meditation and cultivating oneself.
Ruan Xiaoshuang's physical strength is even higher than her cultivation level, far exceeding the Golden Core Realm.
After all, cultivation requires Spirit Stone and Spiritual Qi, so it can't be rushed.
Unlike other forms of exercise, this one had Infinite Stamina, and Ruan Xiaoshuang was training almost to the point of exhaustion.
This adorable girl always gave Ling Yi the illusion that she was about to go bald.
As for Ruan Xiaoling, she's still sleeping in.
Ruan Xiaoling is Get Stronger by Lying Flat System.
To put it simply, if you're lazy enough, you're strong enough.
Most importantly, Ruan Xiaoling also gave newbies an Invincible Domain as a reward.
As long as you lie flat, your Invincible Domain will be activated.
It can be said that Ruan Xiaoling's system is the most comfortable among the seven women.
Even Ling Yi really wanted one.
Just then, a dark cloud suddenly gathered above the wooden house.
Ling Yi and Ruan Xiaoshuang both looked in the direction of the wooden house at the same time.
"This is... the Golden Core Tribulation?" Ruan Xiaoshuang exclaimed in surprise.
"It is indeed Golden Core Lightning Tribulation."
"This is just too unreasonable! My sister sleeps all day, yet her cultivation level is improving faster than mine?"
Ling Yi shook his head and smiled, "No, to be precise, she works harder than you."
Ruan Xiaoshuang didn't understand.
Ling Yi explained, "You still need to rest for a few hours every day, but your sister lies down almost all day, which means she's getting stronger all day long!"
