Battle of Ascension

Randy sleep soundly in his room while uproar happened outside because of his Legendary Grade Weapon. Doesn't know how long he sleeps, suddenly he feels movement in his arms. He opened his eyelids slowly and see Zhen Yi try to release herself from his arm without waking him up.

"Where are you going this early?" Randy asks his wife with half-open eyes.

"Wash up," Zhen Yi replied. Because he awake already, Zhen Yi just got up directly.

Randy puzzled by his wife action and says after he sees the times in Battle System "Wash up? its still 4.43 am,"

"Did you forget that today we will start practicing with my method?" After says that, Zhen Yi stood up, walk to the bathroom.

Randy remembered, yesterday morning his wife said that she has an idea for his training. He doesn't know what idea she has.

15 minutes later, Randy and Zhen Yi go outside. They see Wisen warming up.

"Good morning dad," they said in unison.

"Morning," Wisen nodded his head. He looks at his son and daughter-in-law wears their equipment.

"Why you wear your equipment?" Wisen ask with a puzzled face.

"We will go to Jakarta City," Randy replies.

"You wanted to start hunting this early?" Wisen asks again in a surprise.

"We..." when Randy want to answer they want to go training, his words cut off by Zhen Yi clear voice "Yes,"

Wisen doesn't ask again why they go hunting this early and continued his warming up. Meanwhile, Randy and Zhen Yi walk to Teleportation Site after say goodbye to Wisen.

On the way to teleportation site, Shana remind her master "Stupid Master, don't forget to put your [Black Wildcat Essence Blood] to Auction House,"

Hearing this Randy become annoyed "Why you kept calling me stupid master? did I annoy you?"

"That was the fact, That's why I call you stupid Master. I remind you less you become angry when you spent your 1 Gold to buy a special vial and get nothing after I promised you got more money after buying the vial," Shana giggled and snorted at the end of her words.

"I didn't do anything wrong since yesterday though, why you call me stupid?" Randy refuted.

"Really? Are you really didn't do a stupid thing yesterday?" Shana says in a mischievous smile.

He becomes skeptical and tries to remember what he did yesterday. He hunts Black Wildcat and managed to kill the Elder Black Wildcat even though he troubled to kill that Uncommon Beast. Afterward, he bought a vial in East Potion Shop. Here Randy remembered that in potion shop, he compared the environment in potion shop and blacksmith and Shana mocked him.

"I didn't do anything stupid yesterday, I just compare environment potion shop and blacksmith. How can you call me stupid just because that," Randy doesn't want to admit it and kept refuting.

Meanwhile, Zhen Yi looking at her husband who talking alone, no, not talking alone but talking to his AI. At first, she looks at him with envy look, she kept listening to what he said. Look likes his AI call him stupid and he protested to his AI. She envies Randy because this, later she becomes dumbfounded by what he just said. His AI calls him stupid because he tried to comparing environment between potion shop and blacksmith. No wonder his AI call him stupid, even her would call him stupid. 2 places for a different purpose and he tried to compare the environment. Zhen Yi shaking her head.

Shana noticed that Zhen Yi shook her head and says to Randy with a mock smile,"Look! even your wife shakes her head,"

Randy immediately look at Zhen Yi, really, his wife just shook her head.

"hehe, but what I meant was not this, I call you stupid because of another reason. This is just additional proof," Shana giggled.

"Eh!?" Randy stunned, Shana reason calls him stupid not because of this? then what?

"Remember when you fought against Elder Black Wildcat?" Shana suddenly asks him.

Randy nods his head.

"You actually could kill that cat with one hit, but you just stupidly fought against that cat with brute force," Shana shaking her head.

"Kill in one hit? how?" Randy become bewildered after Shana said that he could kill the Elder Black Wildcat one hit.

"Tch tch, Really stupid," Shana clicked her tongue.

"[Dragon Roar] skill, [Dragon Roar] skill, [Dragon Roar] skill," Shana said in three times "If you use [Dragon Roar] skill, the Elder Black Wildcat would not be able to move and it would not be able to dodge or react to your attack. Based on your stat now, you only need one stab at its head and it will die. But, what you did? you fought against it with brute force and almost died, luckily that cat only low-level beast, if not..."

Randy stunned after heard what Shana said. Yes, I have that new skill, but forget to use it, then he looks depressed. Maybe he really stupid?

Shana doesn't stop here and says,"Maybe too soft called you stupid. How about I call you fool master or idiotic master or maybe..." Shana kept mocking her master while they walk to the Teleportation Site.

Randy kept listening to his AI mocking him, no, is not mocking anymore, it's insulting him. Suddenly he missed the expressionless Shana who speaks with a flat tone, at least the expressionless Shana never mocked him.

"Alright, alright, stop your ranting. Its still 5 am, do you think the Auction House is already open? stupid Shana," Finally Randy managed to retaliate Shana.

"Tch tch tch," Shana clicked her tongue after hears what Randy said.

Randy get a bad premonition, heard Shana clicked her tongue.

"The Auction House is open for 24 hours. Smart master, do you think Auction House open now?" Shana says sarcastically with a smile.

"Ugh..." Randy really speechless. Actually, he knows nothing about open hours the shop in East City, he just wildly guessed and his guess is wrong.

"I will put the [Black Wildcat Essence Blood] later," After saying that, he just walk silently less Shana mock him again.

While Zhen Yi is amused, see at the Randy and his AI bicker.

Not long after, they arrived at Teleportation Site. Not many people queuing in this early morning so, Randy and Zhen Yi only need to wait a couple seconds before their turn.

Arrive at Jakarta City, they went straight to outside city.

"Do you know a place that rarely passed by beast or people?" Zhen Yi asks Randy while they walk to outside city.

Randy thought for a moments before he says,"Oh, I know. The place first we met. I always rest and eat my lunch there, no beast there and I never saw people visit. You are the first one,"

15 minutes later, Randy and Zhen Yi arrived.

"Alright, let's start the training and also take off your equipment," Zhen Yi says to Randy.

Randy obediently take off his equipment and sees his wife took out a spear from her System Storage, then she takes off the spearhead.

"What we will do for the training?" He asks Zhen Yi because she not yet tell him how they will practice.

"We will fight, you can learn more from a fight," Zhen Yi tells her idea to him.

"Fight against you? It will really improve my ability by fighting?" He looks at his wife with a doubt.

"Hehe," She only answered him with a chuckle.

...

30 minutes later

Randy lying on the ground after fought for 30 minutes, he didn't have a chance to counter-attack. He is getting crushed by spear shaft on Zhen Yi hand, could not even block her attack. He realized that when he fought against her in the past, she didn't take it seriously and didn't intend to kill him.

He's lying on the ground with full of a bruise on his face, hand, feet, and the body. He could not guess her movement, her spear shaft was like a snake. When he uses his sword to block her attack then suddenly change the target and always succeed hit him. Her weapon as if become alive, when he uses his sword to block, her spear shaft would change the target.

"Let's take a break. do you have any beast carcasses? I will make breakfast," Zhen Yi says after she sees he cannot get up anymore, lying on the ground without moving.

Randy took out a Demonic Rabbit carcass from his System Storage, spices, a pot.

"I want to eat soup, please!" Randy makes a request while taking out the ingredients.

Zhen Yi doesn't respond to him but, she takes the ingredients, spices, and the pot. Randy kept lying on the ground, thinking about the fight. Even though he could not defeat Zhen Yi at least he could fight on par with her, this is what he thought before the fight but, the fact was he could not even block her attack.
