"You're underestimating me too much."

"Uh, what do you mean by that?"

"To tell you the truth, any seemingly ordinary substance from the Fourth Dimension would have a colossal mass in this space, and I'm from the Fifth Dimension. Do you think I wouldn't be able to lift this house?"

This... Alright, since that was the case, Feng Yi really had no reason to stay. Wait, he forgot to ask about Kexiao, "What should we do about Kexiao?"

"He will recover on his own."

"But how will he return to the surface? Humans can't survive in space, can they? Even for me, I can only last half an hour in the vacuum of space." It's worth noting that Feng Yi can survive for half an hour in outer space thanks to his specialized training and the unique skill of Third Rhythm, but for an ordinary person, even someone with Kexiao's physique, a few minutes would be their limit.

"I don't know about that. Perhaps Blade Warrior has something prepared."

"Perhaps? Just perhaps?"

"Yeah."

Hmm, this… Mo Ying's brief answer left Feng Yi utterly dumbfounded, but besides this, there was no way to solve the matter for now. After all, without a physical body, considering that Blade Warrior's plans should be thorough, since he could send Kexiao over there, follow-up arrangements should be in place, not to let someone just die upon arrival. So Feng Yi didn't ask more about this matter. He now needed to head to the Sky Shadow planet.

——

On a distant planet in the outer reaches of Rekart, Feng Luo and Feng Wu, eating and sleeping under the stars, had gradually begun to adapt to outdoor life over this period. Though they hadn't fully mastered adult survival skills, they had developed some insights into the simple use of tools. After all, the two were still children; though their natural abilities might surpass those of ordinary people, their bodies and potential were extraordinary, they were still too young.

As they continued to solidify their wilderness survival skills, they had learned how to start a fire outdoors. The time it took to start a fire with a firestone could be long—perhaps a few minutes or even an hour, considering the scarcity of dry grass on this planet. But with enough effort, you can even grind an iron rod into a needle. At this stage of life, it was evident that these two kids were extremely patient, especially Feng Luo, who would remain by the fire to roast while Feng Wu took the opportunity to handle other tasks, like gathering firewood or picking fruit, once the fire was going. It was enough to show that he was a very patient person.

Gradually, the two of them had started to get used to life without bread and milk, slowly adapting to eating roasted meat and the most natural fruits.

In their lives, what they looked forward to the most was the weekend. Every weekend, if they performed well, they would receive Sky Shadow's rewards. The most sumptuous reward was undoubtedly Desert Chicken.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. As for roasting Desert Chicken, Feng Luo and Feng Wu were now skilled. Every weekend night, the two kids would eat to the point where oil dribbled down their chins.

Smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the fire, Feng Luo and Feng Wu's bellies growled with hunger...

At this moment, the door creaked open, and in walked Sky Shadow, taking large strides into the room.

This strange uncle had gone from someone the two kids feared at first to someone they eagerly anticipated every weekend because every weekend, the weird uncle would bring them something. Initially, they didn't like what he brought, but faced with necessity, they had no choice but to take matters into their own hands for the sake of survival. After tasting the benefits once, Feng Luo and Feng Wu started eagerly awaiting Sky Shadow's arrival every day.

However, at most, they would see him once a day, which was the most frequent. Sometimes, they wouldn't see him for several days, yet on this weekend, this odd uncle came twice.

The two little adults were stunned, staring straight at Sky Shadow in a daze...

"Little brats, you've been doing quite well recently," Sky Shadow said coldly.

Feng Luo and Feng Wu glanced at each other, puzzled, thinking it didn't matter if it was good or not. A child's instinct is to eat when hungry and drink when thirsty; their main purpose was to survive. They hadn't considered what the future might hold.

Feng Luo said, "Uncle Sky Shadow, when can we go home? I miss mom."

"Humph, mom..." Thinking of Mengdie, Sky Shadow's lips curled into a smirk. "I advise you to abandon the thought of returning home early. You can't leave here now, but it's not entirely without hope, unless the day comes when you can defeat me."

"Huh? Defeat you?"

"That's right. Even if you just catch up to me. You've learned to run now. If you can catch me, I'll allow you to go home."

Feng Wu said, "We can't catch up at all. Uncle, you just disappear."

"Don't worry, I'll restrain my speed to a range you can possibly catch up with."

"Huh? What is speed?"

"What I call speed is..." Sky Shadow suddenly paused. Why was he explaining so much to these two little imps? Even if he explained, children this young wouldn't understand. So, with a cold expression, Sky Shadow said, "You can think of speed as a form of movement. Of course, you don't need to understand it too deeply now. Just remember to try your best to catch up with me."

Sky Shadow paused his voice, looking calmly at Feng Luo and Feng Wu, "Starting next week, that is, tomorrow, you'll begin trying new subject training."

"What is subject training? Can it be eaten?"

"Fool, you idiot! Subject training refers to a kind of training. Stop thinking about eating all the time." Sky Shadow forced a slight anger to his face, saying, "Your good days are about to end, so you'd better be prepared for it. Don't say I didn't warn you; better brace yourselves."

"Then what should we do?" Though they didn't understand what he was saying, it seemed quite frightening.

"Humph, you'll naturally know tomorrow."

As Sky Shadow had said, the next day at the break of dawn—more precisely, before it was fully light—the quilt covering them was suddenly yanked away by Sky Shadow.

"Have you slept enough?"

Feng Luo and Feng Wu opened their bleary eyes, looking left and right, feeling awfully cold... their quilt, once more, was in Sky Shadow's hands.

"Time to get up, little brats."

This... The two suddenly wanted to cry, full of grievances ready to turn into tears instantly. But thinking about this stone-hearted guy, no amount of tears would help. So, though upset, they remembered that crying didn't work—crying had always been useless—and decided not to cry.

And so, the two shiveringly put on their clothes, starting their brand-new training.

Initially, Sky Shadow did not immediately have them begin training but instead talked in an incomprehensible long-winded manner, also informing them that at least they needn't worry about food and drink anymore. From today onward, he would train them in basic combat and survival skills. These might be difficult, but only temporary, because it would only get harder from here. The rule of hardship before sweetness didn't exist here unless one day the two could earn his approval, which of course required time to verify. But here, he advised them to best forget they were children.

Listening to Sky Shadow's emotionless voice, the little ones shivered...

In the shadows, Feng Yi felt his emotions stir slightly. Was this his… Hmm, eldest son and daughter? Though Feng Luo and Feng Wu were still young, judging by their complexion, they indeed seemed braver than usual children. Possibly this was connected to Sky Shadow's guidance. Although it was hard to watch, Sky Shadow's method was not without merit.

Compared to himself back then, the environment they lived in was evidently much better, even if such a life couldn't be considered a good childhood for children. However, for their long lives ahead, it was precisely this irreplaceable fortune in their growth process. Hopefully, Sky Shadow wouldn't overdo it.
