Li Shuye walked toward Theo's courtyard with a girl. She looked at this girl and said, "Remember. He is our distinguished guest. As my personal disciple, you should behave well and not embarrass me. No matter what, don't offend him."

"Yes, Master." She cupped her hands politely. But inwardly, she was sneering. 'What kind of man could make my master act like this? I heard that he is a teacher in the academy that Master invested in, but isn't she exaggerating it? In the end, he is only a teacher. Even the elders told me that this teacher has to flee to the academy because of his inability. In the end, he is only important because of his status as a teacher, nothing else.'

She simply didn't believe that Theo was worthy of this level of treatment, especially after coming without notice.

Li Shuye abruptly stopped when she was about to reach the courtyard.

"Hmm?" Li Shuye looked at the entrance and noticed Theo and Mia playing together.

"I have won, my dear daughter." Theo smiled while raising his sword. The essence on his sword multiplied.

As he waved his sword, the essence split into two and formed a raging ocean wave. The first part formed the crest, while the other part created the trough.

Both parts suddenly became disorganized as the trough sped up, causing both to move together and swallow the target like a living monster.

"What?!" Li Shuye widened her eyes in shock. This was exactly the Dawn Cross Wave she gave earlier.

It had only been a few hours, yet Theo had actually mastered it.

"No! I lost again! I'm just one step away from this ability." Mia clutched her head while performing the Splitting Step. It was extremely swift to the point where she left an afterimage behind. But because it wasn't perfect yet, the afterimage was blurry and soon disappeared.

'He has mastered one ability while his daughter is only one step away from mastering the other ability?' Li Shuye dropped her jaw. It was rare for her to show her emotion due to her cultivation, but she might have made more facial expressions today than she had shown in the last few years.

"Hmmm?" Theo suddenly stopped and glanced back, noticing Li Shuye and the girl behind her. "Ah, I apologize for learning this technique. I was only going to understand its concept, but I ended up learning it together with my daughter."

"N-no, it's fine. It's not related to the Snow Blossom Sect, so you're free to learn it." Li Shuye shook her head helplessly. She understood once again how monstrous Theo and his daughter were.

"Is there anything I can do to help you, Miss Li Shuye?" Theo asked.

'Kh.' The girl behind Li Shuye seemed to be gritting her teeth when she heard Theo call her master so friendly. She managed to refrain from raising her voice since her master would get angry.

Li Shuye said, "Well, I'm here to tell you about the result of the meeting earlier. Unfortunately, I need more time to convince the elders because you are not a native of this world. But I will definitely bring good news tomorrow."

"Please take your time. I don't want my existence here to cause you any trouble with your own sect."

"Thank you. And with that being said, I'm here to introduce you to my direct disciple. Yi'er, introduce yourself." Li Shuye took a step to the side, showing the girl behind her.

Her disciple stepped forward with a cold expression. At first glance, it looked like she was imitating her master's usual expression. But Theo could feel the enmity in the girl's gaze.

She cupped her hands politely. "My name is Yue Yi."

"Hey!" Li Shuye furrowed her eyebrows, not liking Yue Yi's introduction. If it were any other important person, Yue Yi would have done more.

Theo chuckled. "It's fine."

Li Shuye felt a bit embarrassed and asked, "May I know how you mastered the martial arts? This is the first time I see someone doing it so fast."

Theo thought for a moment. "It's nothing much to be honest. Me and Mia can learn things faster than average people. That's all there is to it."

"Is that so?" Li Shuye looked a bit disappointed.

"On the other hand, I would like to know if it's possible to actually direct the energy from the cultivation technique from the Dantian to one's heart." Theo asked while showing the other book.

"Moving it to the heart?" Li Shuye fell into deep thought. She had a good understanding of how Spiritual Qi worked. But because she was living here for her entire life, she didn't know there was another place that could receive the Spiritual Qi. "I'm not very sure."

"Well, I have to learn how your Spiritual Qi works then. The other worlds also have their own names like Magic Power or Spiritual Energy. While all of them are united under one name, Essence, the practice of each world is different. So, I have to understand your Spiritual Qi first."

"Unfortunately, I don't think I can help you right now. I have to convince the elders about having you learn our techniques so that we can see if it's possible to change it by having a different perspective." Li Shuye glanced at her students. "While she is still inexperienced, I think she will be able to help you. Just ask her about it and she will answer you."

"I don't really mind." Theo looked at Yue Yi without any emotion as if he didn't care whether it was Yue Yi or someone else as long as he could get the answer.

"By the way, Teacher Theo. There is one more thing I need to ask. You said your third objective is to fight, right? Does that mean you want to fight with humans? Or… the beasts in this world?"

"Since we will have a similar form and way of utilizing our power, I want to fight with other humans, but I don't really mind picking a fight with others. As for whether I'm going to be chased down or not, I will take care of it personally."

Li Shuye raised a finger. "In that case, there is a perfect place for you to go wild. I will bring you the details tomorrow along with the news."

"Alright." Theo nodded. "Since it looks like you're extremely busy, let's just continue on our way for the rest of the day."

"Thanks. I'll leave Yue Yi to you. Please don't hesitate to ask all kinds of questions. She is a smart girl." Li Shuye smiled before glaring at Yue Yi as if implying that she should obey whatever Theo said.

Li Shuye, who had witnessed the progress of Li Wei and the other students, perfectly knew what kind of person Theo was. This was a rare opportunity that Yue Yi could have because her master was the sect master.

He had done with the test of his martial art, so he went back inside while inviting Yue Yi. "Please come in."

Yue Yi followed him inside simply because her master was still not far away. But when her master disappeared into the horizon, Yue Yi couldn't help but stop.

"Hmm?" The one who first reacted to her action was Mia. She had been observing this Xue Yi, but she had never said anything.

Her attitude toward her father was bad and she couldn't even hide her hostility completely.

"What's wrong?" Mia asked, still polite.

Yue Yi ignored Mia and looked straight at Theo. "Even though you are from the World Union Academy, I still don't think training over there is better than here."

"Hoh?" Theo smiled. It seemed that Yue Yi was planning to challenge him.

"Dad. This girl—" Mia was extremely frustrated. She didn't say anything the whole time, but since the other party had started looking down on her father just because she was a princess in one of the strongest sects, Mia became annoyed. Then again, she remembered what was actually happening.

Wasn't this what she wanted? She had been pushing her father to meet those arrogant young masters.

While it was true that her father's scheme was better than hers, this was another chance for her. But she was troubled about whether she wanted to make the sect that invited them their enemies.

But before she could speak any further, Theo waved his hand, asking her not to say anything yet. Theo asked, "So?"

"So?" Yue Yi gritted her teeth. She thought this person was a fool for not being able to understand her words. "I told you that no matter what you do, you can't be better than the elders and my master. You are just using the influence of the World Union Academy to be here. You personally don't have that right."

"Without your status as the direct disciple of the sect master here, do you think you can say something like that to my father? Aren't you the same? Hypocrite." Mia glared at her, standing between Yue Yi and Theo.

"You…" Yue Yi gritted her teeth. It seemed that both father and daughter didn't know their place. "It seems that I have to show you what it means to have the power so as to not embarrass your influence."

Veins on Mia's forehead started becoming apparent. She never thought that she would lose some brain cells when talking to cultivators. Some of the people in the higher positions did have better experience and brains, but it seemed that this girl wasn't included.

"Dad, don't stop me." Mia cracked her fingers as if she were ready to beat the hell out of her. "This girl needs a correction!"
