A beautiful butterfly flapped its wings before Yu Long and Woby.

Its entire body was a very dark shade of blue and over sixty centimeters long. White lines stretched from its antenna to its abdomen, creating this six-starred pattern that ends with its six legs. A pair of white glass-like, thin wings around two meters attached on its back, giving off an illusionary feeling. 

Lastly, a black halo of light floated behind the butterfly. 

Yu Long blinked and received information about his second kaiju.

Kaiju No. 2

Species: Mutant Desolate-Bite Hybrid

Abilities: Telepathy, Innate Wisdom, Micro-Compound Eyes, Thoughts Acceleration, Mental Damage Nullification, Psychic Force, Dream Eater

"My lord." A sweet female voice echoed in Yu Long's head.

"Thank you for creating me." 

Yu Long's eyes widened as he returned, "You have awakened your wisdom already?" 

Innate Wisdom. 

A racial ability Yu Long obtained from a profound beast called the Brain-eating Beast that devoured other brains to gain knowledge and wisdom.

However, Yu Long's second kaiju actually awakened its wisdom without devouring any brain. 

The butterfly nodded and answered, "I inherited the memory of the Brain-eating Beast. It was incomplete, but it allowed me to understand human speech, even without Telepathy." 

"Good, good." Yu Long grinned excitedly. Having an initial A+ grade showed how powerful this butterfly was. He was anxious his creation would have a problem.

"I have decided. From now on, your name will be Yume." 

"Thank you, my lord~!" Yume responded happily.

"Hahaha, I'll depend a lot on you from now on, Yume. Researching alone without anyone understanding me." Yu Long laughed.

"Nyuu?" Woby watched their conversation with a confused look.

...

Waking up, Yu Long felt a blanket on his back. 

He shook his head and felt Xia Qingyue walking to the study room with a tray of food and drink. 

Xia Qingyue slid the door open and smiled, "Oh, you wake up?" 

"Let's eat. We haven't eaten anything today." 

"Sure." Yu Long responded calmly. 

They had lunch together, and Yu Long enjoyed the food wholeheartedly this time because creating Yume consumes so much energy. 

Although his vitality isn't 'directly' used to be converted into profound strength anymore, [Tyrannical Aspect] requires a certain amount of stamina.

"That was good." Yu Long wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and praised the food.

"I-Is that so?" Xia Qingyue reacted cheerfully. She was happy inside because Yu Long praised her cooking skills.

Of course, Xia Qingyue won't tell Yu Long right now. She has many recipes to try.

If she told him right now, it wouldn't be a surprise.

After lunch, Yu Long brought Xia Qingyue to the courtyard and saw Xia Yuanba exercising with weights. The weights were 'actually' made with high-quality dark steel, which is very heavy.

Yu Long doesn't have to be afraid of Xia Yuanba's physical growth because this training won't do anything harmful to his body. 

Xia Yuanba possessed the Tyrannical Emperor's profound veins, so his physical prowess would be extraordinary without training. At the moment, Yu Long only stimulated Xia Yuanba's potential earlier and prepared him for a better stage.

This continent-! No, this planet will not bury his talent.

"Yuanba, dodge." Yu Long picked a random rock and threw it to the younger Xia.

Xia Yuanba's instinct reacted quickly as his entire body dodged from the squatting position to a hop. The rock flew through, missing its target.

"Big Bro, you almost gave me a heart attack." Xia Yuanba patted his bulging chest. 

"As if such a pebble could injure you." Yu Long rolled his eyes at this fellow.

What a drama queen.

"So, how many sets can you do this time?" He asked the younger Xia.

Xia Yuanba's face was plastered with a smug expression as he replied proudly, "Three hundred and sixty-nine sets!" 

"Oh?" Yu Long tilted his head. "Not bad." 

'Yuanba is going to be an expert in the future.' Xia Qingyue stared at her younger brother proudly.

But there is a displeasure in her heart.

She knew Xia Yuanba was young, but he actually liked to play with Xiao Che from the Xiao Clan nearby. If only he played more with Yu Long, his future is guaranteed.

Xia Qingyue couldn't help but sigh when thinking about it. 

It's not that she despised Xiao Che or anything. She thought it was just a waste of time.

'Then, again... Yuanba is only nine.' Xia Qingyue's heart softened.

"But it's only 369 sets. It's nothing to be proud of." Yu Long scolded Xia Yuanba. "I can do one thousand sets with less time." 

"Eh..." Xia Yuanba was speechless.

But we are different.

You're a monster. I'm not!

For three months, Xia Yuanba trained under Yu Long, and he discovered that 'Big Bro' of his was a literal freak. How could such a lean body pack an immense strength?

They fought several times, and Yu Long wiped Xia Yuanba to the ground without moving much. One move and Xia Yuanba would always find himself kissing the courtyard's floor.

Xia Yuanba might have more muscles, but that's it.

If Yu Long didn't help Xia Yuanba with a concentrated training plan, he'd get confined by his muscular build. Such a mass couldn't move fast enough to react against an incoming attack.

Xia Yuanba's goal for the next six months is to train the lightness of his step and control his weight.

A bird arrived at the Xia Manor and arrived at the courtyard.

"Hmm?" Yu Long recognized the bird and lifted his right arm, allowing it to land.

"Woah, so cool!" Xia Yuanba's eyes sparkled.

"Courier Bird?" Xia Qingyue was also curious, seeing a small container on the bird's leg.

"Yeah, it's Yu Clan's courier bird." Yu Long nodded calmly.

He opened the small container and took the letter stored inside. After reading the content for a bit, a frown appeared on Yu Long's face.

"Haa..." Yu Long heaved a sigh, feeling somewhat murderous inside.

Xia Qingyue noticed the change in Yu Long's mood. She opened her mouth and asked, "What happened, Yu Long?" 

"Sorry, Qingyue, Yuanba. I can't stay at the Floating Cloud City for too long." Yu Long bitterly smiled. "I just got a letter from my father." 

"There is a problem in the Drifting River City." 

"Problem..." Xia Qingyue whispered solemnly. 

She could only guess, but from Yu Long's sudden change of mood, it couldn't be something light.

"Can I go with you?" Xia Qingyue hopefully requested.

Yu Long shook his head, "Unfortunately, no." 

"The situation doesn't allow me to bring you there."

"Maybe in a week or two... I'll send you a carriage." He added with a slight smirk.

"A week or two? Okay. Qingyue, understand!" The girl nodded, not forcing Yu Long to bring her along.

"Meanwhile, I was away, don't slack around. Especially Yuanba!" Yu Long sternly stared at the younger Xia.

"I won't!" Xia Yuanba responded with a salute. 

"As for you, Qingyue." Yu Long trailed his eyes back to the heroine. "I left behind a book in my bedroom. To be precise, under my pillow." 

"You can read it and decide your path yourself." 

"Well, I can't say farewell to Uncle Hongyi. Say my thanks to him." Yu Long turned and waved his hand.

"See you too soon." 

Yu Long's voice echoed as his figure disappeared from their vision.

Xia Yuanba rubbed his eyes, "Wow, magic..." 

Xia Qingyue clenched her hand inside the sleeve and thought she was too weak to help Yu Long. She closed her eyes, "The book." 

She hurriedly went to Yu Long's room in the manor and found a book under his pillow. 

She took a deep breath and lifted the first page of the titleless book, making her eyes widen in shock.

"T-This is..." 

"How to Cultivate, First Part?" 

...

Outside of the Floating Cloud City.

Lily and Hong Guan landed on the mountaintop, seeing their young master standing and facing the direction of Drifting River City.

"We have an emergency." Yu Long said indifferently.

"Just a moment ago, Father sent me a letter." 

"Sixty out of seventy-four caravans under Yu Clan were attacked by profound practitioners." 

"The estimated loss of income is 40% because we didn't meet this month's deal. It was a targeted move without a doubt." 

"Those rats finally decided to move on our grains." Yu Long snorted in disgust. "I left them alone for three years, allowing them to stand away with bread crumbs and be silent spectators." 

"Aah, human greed at its finest." 

"...What should we do, young master?" Hong Guan uttered in determination.

"Yes, yes!" Lily is full of fighting spirit.

Yu Long chuckled coldly, "What should we do?" 

"We make them learn not to mess with my things!"
