Xu Ming had received enough answers for the day. He told his servant that he was going to rest as he stood up.

Xu Ming walked back to his room and closed the door. ​​

He was sitting on the bed as he looked at a ring in his hand.

It was a ring that belonged to Li Mu, the person he was pretending to be.

Xu Ming knew that he couldn't use his Weapons; otherwise, he might attract some unnecessary attention, so he was going to use the weapons of Lu Mu.

He sent his consciousness inside the ring to see the things it held.

He found a few clothes, some eatables, and some books inside, but there was a weapon as well.

Xu Ming couldn't help but shake his head as he saw the weapon.

"An ax? I don't have any experience using an Axe. Couldn't he have just used a sword or something?" Xu Ming complained.

"Don't worry about anything. It's just an ax, nothing serious," Valeria let out casually. "It's a brutal weapon. I don't think you need to learn it. Just swing it randomly like a brute."

"I didn't understand if you're joking or being serious? You want me to go out swinging an ax against an experienced enemy who will use proper weapons and skills to face me?" Xu Ming asked in confusion.

"As I said, the specialty of the Axe is its strength. I know it because quite a lot of warriors in our world are ax warriors, and I saw their fights. They use pure strength to defeat the enemy. Sometimes even skills don't stand a chance before pure strength," She replied.

"Also, it's not like you only have strength. I saw her move when she attacked you. Your speed should be much faster than her, and your reaction speed is something that I haven't seen before. With the combination of all those, you can defeat her," she added.

"I sure do hope so, because I'm not going to use any of my offensive skills in a battle against her. They are just too distinct, and they would attract the attention of the enemy and might make them doubt my identity. I'm going to use my physical attributes and movement skills only," Xu Ming added.

"That seems to be the best option at the moment. Whatever happens, you can't do anything that exposes your identity," Valeria told Xu Ming.

"Yeah, Fortunately, the people that the sect imprisoned aren't going to be killed. I never expected that this would be the reason for them to bring people from our sect here. At Least we have time until they conquer all the continents," Xu Ming muttered.

He had found out about why the sect imprisoned people. He had expected that they would probably Sacrifice them or steal their life force, but the reality was quite different, which made him realize that they were safe for quite some time.

"Yeah, now you don't have to be in a hurry to save them. At least you don't do anything stupid in your hurry now," Valeria said.

"Aren't you the ones that do things like them," Xu Ming asked as he looked at her with a suspicious look on his face.

Valeria didn't reply and started looking elsewhere.

Xu Ming shook his head as he laid on the bed. He closed his eyes and started resting.

He didn't know when, but he soon fell asleep. His mask was still on his face, but he had deactivated its effect since he was inside the room. The mask still acted like a normal mask, though.

Xu Ming slept on the bed in peace and comfort. The peace was broken by the constant knocking on the door, though.

Xu Ming stood up and looked at the clock.

"Sigh, it's already the next day. That was a good sleep. I don't know when was the last time I slept so nice," Xu Ming muttered as he shook his head.

He opened the door and saw his servant at the door.

"Miss Yu Yan is at the door, Master," The Servant told Xu Ming.

"I expected that. I'm leaving with her. I'll be back soon," Xu Ming told the Servant as he started walking towards the exit.

"I'll keep the pain-relieving medicine ready for you, Master. Don't worry."

Xu Ming was near the door when he heard the scream of his servant from behind.

'That Idiot, is he trying to be considerate or demotivate me?' Xu Ming thought, shaking his head.

As he stepped out of his courtyard, he saw Yu Yan standing there. She was dressed in male attire, which still made her look pretty.

"You proved me wrong. You haven't run away. It's good," Yu Yan nodded her head in praise.

"Can we get it done fast? I don't want to drag it too much," Xu Ming told her as he glanced at her.

He had already activated the Mask of Mischief, which made him look like Li Mu.

"Hmph, acting like a lion. I'll see how long it takes before you start begging me to leave you," Yu Yan muttered as she snorted.

"Follow me," She said as she stepped over her Flying Condor.

Xu Mung also walked over the Condor and stood behind her.

The Flying Condor started flying and took them in a certain direction.

After flying for over an hour, the Condor landed on the ground near a beautiful courtyard that seemed to be made of the purest of white marbles.

"Since you wanted to fight in a private place, we will fight in my private practice arena behind my courtyard so that you don't get an excuse," Yu Yan said as she landed on the ground.

She kept her beast back in the beast back and started walking towards the hall that was behind her courtyard.

Xu Ming followed behind her.

Soon, they were both standing inside a big hall.

Other than the outer walls of the halls, there was nothing else inside. There wasn't even a stone floor. There was soil on the ground.

"This is where we will fight. You can go into that corner and get ready for a fight. I'm giving you a few minutes," Yu Yan told Xu Ming as she pointed towards the other end of the hall.

Xu Ming started walking away from her.

He stood in the opposite corner to her and brought his ax out of his storage ring.

"You have a nice ax. Too bad that such a great Treasure is being wasted on someone like you," Yu Yan sighed as she saw the ax.

She knew that the ax was an important Treasure even though it looked like a normal ax, but Li Mu wasn't able to use it properly.
