Chapter 3: Xiao Hua and a Divine Rank Art
"Hello Mortals, you can call me Elder Song, we are here on Mount 96. I will explain to you about the cultivation world a little bit." An old man spoke faintly as he flew into the sky.
"…" Yuan looked at this intently, but unfortunately, he quickly lost interest because the information this elder was giving was the same as the information in the cultivation narratives.
First, he explained that humans and monsters can cultivate Qi in the air, that each realm is divided into nine levels, and that everyone starts from a spirit cultivator realm.
Suddenly, Elder Song waved his hand, and a piece of paper flew to all the players.
"Activate it with your thoughts to know your physique type and grade." Elder Song said, anticipation evident in his voice. "Physical physique grade is divided into four grades, which are mortal, earthly, heavenly, and divine."
"..." Yuan looked puzzled at the paper, which clearly indicated that he had a different physique than Elder Song had explained.

< Legendary Dual Physique >
1. < Heaven Refinement Physique >
2. < ????????? >
Rank: ??????? >

'I don't know what this means but let's keep quiet' - Yuan thought and decided not to say anything because he felt it would be dangerous if he said something.
Yuan trusted his instincts a lot because they had helped him a lot in his past life, from seizing opportunities to avoiding dangers.
"Now, I will give you a technique that will allow you to become a cultivator." Elder Song said as he waved his sleeve, causing blue balls to shoot towards the heads of the players.

< Mastery level: 1 >
< Description: Absorb 1 Qi every second, it can only be activated when in lotus position. >

"Alright, now it's time to send you out," Elder Song said, waving his sleeve to pick everyone up at random.
'Finally I'm tired of hearing gamers' nonsense' - Yuan thought as he was being moved because he was tired of hearing about players wanting to make harems and women wanting to make reverse harems and many other stupid things.
In the middle of the forest.
"Forest? Damn you, you damned old man!" Yuan exclaimed angrily, not knowing where he was.
"The map" - Yuan muttered, hoping that it would work, otherwise he would remain lost in this forest.
Unfortunately, after waiting a few seconds, the map did not come out.
"Damn, where the hell is this place?" - Yuan exclaimed loudly, frustration evident in his voice.
"This is Xiao Hua's garden." Yuan heard a little girl's voice, but it was sweet and gentle.
Yuan looked behind him and saw a ten-year-old girl with bright white hair, eyes as blue as the noon sky, milky white skin, wearing red clothes, holding a red ball in one hand, and in the other hand a simple book.

"Your garden?" Yuan muttered with a raised eyebrow while asking how big her house would be if the forest was just a garden.
"Hm." Xiao Hua nodded softly and seemed to have no problem hearing Yuan muttered despite the distance between them.
"Sorry for intruding, but I was moved here at random, and I would be grateful if you could help me get out of here," Yuan said, sincerely apologizing that he was at fault for trespassing.
"Why doesn't Brother play with Xiao Hua, then you will get Brother Xiao Hua out of here," Xiao Hua said as she looked at him with cute puppy eyes.
"Mm, this brother is going to play with Xiao Hua." Yuan agreed after trying to struggle but couldn't bear Xiao Hua's judgmental look "What do you want to play by the way, you can call me Brother Yuan."
"Eto'o, Xiao Hua will throw the ball to Brother Yuan and Brother Yuan will return it to Xiao Hua," Xiao Hua said after a moment of thought.
"Okay, let's start playing" - Yuan said after stepping back a bit to get some distance.
Although Yuan Yuan was defeated by the Legendary Puppy's Eye Technique, it was a good opportunity for him to get used to moving his body more.
While Yuan was playing with Xiao Hua, the players were doing their best to move up the ranks and improve themselves.

after a few hours.
"Are you okay, Brother Yuan?" - Xiao Hua asked with obvious concern upon seeing Yuan gasping for air.
"Huh... huh... huh... I'm fine, just a little tired" - Yuan said as he tried to catch his breath, his body drenched in sweat.
Yuan asks about Xiao Hua's strength because she didn't break a drop of sweat despite playing with him for a few hours.
"Does Brother Yuan want to rest before continuing to play?" - Hua Hua said as she put the ball away.
"Well, how about I tell you stories instead of playing games?" Yuan said, after remembering that stories were very effective against children.
"Mn, Xiao Hua wants to hear about Brother Yuan," Xiao Hua said, looking at Yuan with bright eyes.
Yuan and Xiao Hua sat under the shade of a tree and Yuan began to tell her some folk tales in the land.
after a few hours.
"So everyone lived happily together," Yuan said as he finished the last story he knew.
"Alright, Xiao Hua, can you get me out of here now?" Yuan said, getting up and stretching his stiff body.
"Okay, but first, Xiao Hua will read to Brother Yuan to thank him for playing with her and telling her so many stories," Xiao Hua said, holding up the simple book from her side.
"Mm, okay, I will listen to Xiao Hua," Yuan said. He sat quietly waiting for Xiao Hua to start reading the book.
Honestly, Yuan wanted to train in the Basic Qi Gathering Technique, but canceled this plan and decided to listen to Xiao Hua because he felt that something good would come from listening to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua started reading the book in her hands, and to Yuan's surprise, he couldn't understand a single letter of what she was saying, but he felt nostalgic when hearing Xiao Hua's words for some unknown reason.
Normally, Yuan would ignore what Xiao Hua said because he couldn't understand him, but Yuan was someone who trusted his instinct more than anything, so he decided to close his eyes and focus on every word that came out of Xiao Hua's mouth.
To Yuan's surprise, after he focused for a while, Xiao Hua's words slowly became understood, which put him in a strange state between dream and reality.
After some time, Yuan heard a sharp voice that brought him out of his uncertain state.
"The Heaven's Secret Art…" Yuan murmured softly and puzzled. Xiao Hua smiled sweetly upon hearing Yuan's mumble.
Suddenly, words appeared in the sky that only players could see.
< Player Yuan has become the first player to learn a Divine rank skill, congratulations >
Yuan did not know that the world would turn upside down because of the advertisement he had not seen in the first place.
All of this was to search for the cheating player Yuan.
