Xuan Xiaowei, Bai Cang, and XuanYuan ZhanYue returned to Cuiying Tower together, their faces showing complex emotions: exhaustion, satisfaction, and an indescribable resonance.
XuanYuan ZhanYue placed a hand on Xuan Xiaowei's shoulder and said, "Xiaowei, you really broadened my horizons."
Bai Cang was held in the arms of Xuan Xiaowei, and after seeing this scene, his eyes sharpened as if he wanted to bite his hand, but XuanYuan ZhanYue skillfully dodged it.
"It's also thanks to your guidance that all of this has been made possible," Xuan Xiaowei responded with a slight smile, not seeing this action.
"The road to the future is still long, and you still need more training," ZhanYue nodded.
Xuan Xiaowei looked at Bai Cang in his arms, then nodded. "I understand."
They didn't go far before arriving at the Pure Moon Sect-designated Doctor's office. This place is specifically set up for Demon Slayers, as they often need to go on high-risk missions.
The Doctor's office is spacious and divided into several specialized areas: there is an emergency treatment room for serious injuries, as well as a recovery area for minor injuries. In addition, there is an alchemy research area that provides various alchemical ingredients for the disciples.
"This place is like a small hospital," Xuan Xiaowei sighed.
"Not only does it gather the top medical talents within the sect, but also has a large number of precious medicinal materials and treatment equipment. You could say that this is one of the most important pillars of the Pure Moon Sect," ZhanYue explained.
"Truly admirable," Xuan Xiaowei looked towards a young doctor not far away who was performing acupuncture on a disciple, while other doctors were carefully studying a huge cauldron of medicine nearby.
"But the most important thing is that everything here is free. All the resources are provided by the ZhanYue Sect, but the corresponding price is that one must risk their life to slay demons and monsters," ZhanYue added.
Xuan Xiaowei felt a little surprised: "Really?"
"Yes, this is also a kind of encouragement and support from Sect to us. As long as you are a disciple of the sect, this will always be your sanctuary," ZhanYue said.
At this moment, YueYing Xuanli quietly appeared in a corner of the Doctor's office, watching Xuan Xiaowei and ZhanYue from a distance, with a satisfied smile on her face. "It seems that everything is worth it," she thought.
"However, there are still more challenges waiting for her ahead." YueYing Xuanli put away her smile, took a deep breath, and then quietly left.
In the following time, Xuan Xiaowei went to the simulated site almost every day for training.
She usually sets off early in the morning and doesn't return until nightfall, often covered in bruises and bloodstains.
The simulated site is designed very rigorously, including five major levels, with each level further divided into nine different difficulty levels.
For disciples of the Pure Moon Sect, it takes a minimum of three years and often longer to fully pass through these levels.
However, Xuan Xiaowei knows that she doesn't have much time to waste. She walks to the central stone stele in the field and decisively chooses to challenge the fifth major level.
In this environment, Xuan Xiaowei is facing an exact replica of herself. The "she" is holding Sky Piercer Sword with a cold and fierce look in her eyes, as if ready to attack at any moment.
The purpose here is very clear: to find one's own weaknesses and create new moves. As she began to battle her opponent, there was almost no stalemate between their moves. Because the opponent could always predict her every move in advance, Xuan Xiaowei was always at a disadvantage.
Several hours passed, and Xuan Xiaowei was already covered in wounds, with bloodstains on her body. She felt exhausted, but there was an indomitable flame burning in her heart.
At this moment, the transformed little tiger suddenly walked over. There seemed to be a revelation in its eyes, and Xuan Xiaowei suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Xuan Xiaowei suddenly stopped, slowed down his breathing, and focused all his attention on his heart.
There is a strong sense of rhythm there. When confronting the illusion of herself again, she attempted a completely new move.
It wasn't any move she had learned before, but one she created in that moment based on her compatibility with the Frost Edge Sword.
In the moment when the technique was executed, it seemed as if a small storm had occurred within the simulated site. The wind swept through every corner, stirring up dust, and then quickly disappeared.
She had successfully created her own technique.
Just another version of myself, a bit slower for a moment, but quickly recovered and unleashed. The collision was evenly matched, causing quite a stir.
It's another tie.
After Xuan Xiaowei and his simulated counterpart fought to a draw, he began to question and reflect on himself.
The wall of the simulated site appears unusually vivid at this moment, as if every stone slab was designed to test her.
Bai Cang, her little tiger, walks up to her and lightly touches her hand with its claws. Xuan Xiaowei looks down at Bai Cang, and the little tiger tells her, "Don't give up, try again."
"What do you think I should do, Bai Cang?" Xuan Xiaowei asked softly.
Bai Cang looked up at her, his eyes revealing a mixture of cunning and wisdom, and said, "Use your inner strength to find the unique move that belongs only to you."
Xuan Xiaowei took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and felt a surge of inner strength gradually welling up. She picked up the Sky Piercer Sword and once again approached her simulated self.
This time, she no longer hesitated, but wielded the sword more agilely, seemingly breaking free from a certain fixed rhythm.
Every sword swing feels like painting a beautiful picture, combining strength and grace.
The simulated Xuan Xiaowei seemed to sense this change and suddenly emitted a cold light, with sword energy overflowing. The two swords clashed, but there was no sound. Only a cold light and a warm light intertwined in the air, as if two worlds met at that moment.
Then, the simulated Xuan Xiaowei suddenly disappeared.
One month, a whole month, she finally succeeded in overcoming herself.
"What I have been pursuing all along is not how to defeat others, but how to overcome myself." Xuan Xiaowei deeply understands this.
At this moment, in the form of the Tiger demon, Bai Cang leisurely walked over and gently bumped her hand with his head, saying, "I told you, you can do it."
Xuan Xiaowei looked at Bai Cang, then turned back and gazed at this simulated site. This is a space that is both strict and tolerant, allowing people to find their shortcomings and discover their potential. She walked out of the simulated site, although her whole body was injured, these injuries are all symbols of growth.
Standing on the stone monument, XuanYuan ZhanYue finally showed a satisfied smile at the sight: "Not bad. It seems that this checkpoint will be breached. For you, it's only a matter of time."
Xuan Xiaowei smiled in response, then gazed into the distance. This was just her first step in this Simulated world, and there were more checkpoints waiting for her. But at least for now, she had found a new source of strength—constantly pushing her own limits.
