In addition to practicing magic and physical techniques, Yvonne Foster also made a special effort to train his six senses. From Yvonne Foster's experiences in his previous life, he knew that the six senses played an extremely important role in combat—especially hearing, sight, and intuition—which could often determine the outcome of a battle.

Yvonne Foster's training continued the style of his previous life: extremely tough and intense, even to the point of being brutal. Almost every day, he pushed his physical limits. He would often head out before dawn and return late at night, covered in wounds. Within a few days, the neighbors all knew that the Jiang family had produced another training fanatic—one even crazier than the last.

As for her son's changes, mother Emily Thompson felt both happy and distressed. After her earnest advice failed, she could only let him be, but she became even more attentive to little Xiaoyi in the details of daily life. And because her son was often injured, Emily Thompson especially intensified her practice of the Healing Technique. As for father William Foster, although he couldn't understand why his son's personality had changed so much, he was quite pleased with his son's intense efforts and even seemed to encourage him.

In this way, Yvonne Foster spent six whole years diligently training. At the age of eleven, he faced the first battle of his life between cultivators.

Although Yvonne Foster had long known that the path he chose would be filled with bloodshed, killing, and countless battles, he still hadn't expected his first fight to come so soon, catching him a bit off guard.

Whether he wanted to or not, this year, Yvonne Foster took the first step on his legendary journey.

Chapter Four: Ambush

In the dead of night, in a small valley sixty li outside Maple Forest Town, a purple-haired youth stood solemnly in the center of the valley, chanting a mysterious incantation. At the same time, his hands constantly shifted, forming all sorts of profound and enigmatic hand seals. Suddenly, the youth's hands stopped, and he shouted, "Heaven and earth without bounds, borrow the power of the universe! Thunder technique, Finger Thunder Spell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of blue lightning shot from the youth's slender fingers, striking a small tree opposite him. The powerful current instantly charred the poor little pine tree to a crisp.

Seeing this, the purple-haired youth's handsome, almost feminine face showed a hint of satisfaction. Although this spell still hadn't reached the effect he wanted, it was already close to his goal.

This purple-haired youth was none other than Yvonne Foster. Originally, he had been training in the maple forest, but after he accidentally burned a few maple trees during a spell practice, he was chased out by a group of angry townsfolk. After all, syrup made from the sap of these red maples was one of Maple Forest Town's specialties, and many people depended on the forest for their livelihood. Destroying their source of income naturally provoked resentment. Having lost his training ground, Yvonne Foster had no choice but to come to this remote, rarely visited valley to practice. The Tianque Sect had set up many dedicated training grounds on Mount Lang, but since Yvonne Foster had not yet joined the sect, he was not qualified to use them.

Now, at eleven years old, Yvonne Foster's strength had changed dramatically compared to six years ago. He had made great progress in true qi. Although, due to his youth and immature meridians, his daily cultivation didn't advance much, after six years of accumulation, he was almost at the final stage of the Qi Accumulation period. As soon as he opened his Ren and Du meridians, he could enter the Innate Realm. Six years ago, with his then level of dao power, he could only cast the Finger Thunder Spell two or three times at most, but now he could perform it about twenty-five times. Not only that, his physical fitness was now dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary person. Even when wearing an eightfold gravity talisman, he was completely unaffected. The only thing that dissatisfied him was that the intense physical training hadn't given him the well-built muscles he had in his previous life; instead, he looked more like a frail scholar. Moreover, his appearance was becoming more and more like his mother's, looking increasingly like a girl—especially with that shoulder-length purple hair, which, no matter how Yvonne Foster cut it, would grow back to its original length the next day, much to his frustration.

Besides true qi and body-strengthening techniques, during these six years of cultivation, Yvonne Foster also discovered that, in addition to controlling fire and plants, he possessed three other abilities. The first was superhuman eyesight: wherever he looked, near or far, as long as he channeled true qi into his eyes and focused, everything became crystal clear—sometimes he could even see through objects. The second was a brain with freakishly strong memory and calculation abilities. At first, he thought all cultivators in this world were like this, but after asking his parents, he realized he was different. As for the last ability, it was teleportation and small-area spatial freezing. Yvonne Foster didn't know how these two spatial abilities had appeared, but he guessed they had nothing to do with his family bloodline and were instead related to his transmigration. As for the principles, he had no idea. However, because his true qi was still weak, the power of these two abilities was limited and not yet enough to be used in combat.
