Reason for Strength Dropping

It didn't take long for both Huo Rong and Bing Rong to come to the dining hall with simply decorated Red and Blue cultivator robes respectfully.

Shen Yuan looked towards them and his eyes brightened as he complimented them, "You both look so gorgeous today Sister Huo, Sister Bing."

Huo Rong and Bing Rong smiled gently at his compliment as they went to sit on their respective seats.

They chatted and talked about Shen Yuan's training while eating, deciding on how he would train.

Time passed as they finished their breakfast, Shen Yuxin stood up and said, "Alright, let's go to the training room to continue this talk."

Shen Yuan and all the others finished their breakfast and went to the training room. Shen Yuan entered the training and he was still in awe of its absurd size.

'These mystical realms are really absurd, but I think I heard these are the lowest types of inheritance grounds, there might be more good stuff in those higher-level inheritance grounds.'

He wondered as he entered the training room. He stood alone aside from Huo Rong, Bing Rong, and Shen Yuxin, ready to train as he asked his mother, "Mom, will I train my combat skills with the training puppets today?"

Shen Yuxin nodded her head and replied, "Yes, Yuan'er. It's important to train your basics as well, if you have a solid foundation from a young age then you will be able to master your abilities later in your life."

Shen Yuan agreed with her, "Alright Mom, but I want to tell you something." He spoke with a hint of nervousness in his voice, fearing what she would think when he told her about his strength.

Shen Yuxin felt his nervousness as she smiled lightly and asked, "What happened Yuan'er? You can tell me anything." She reassured him with comforting words.

Shen Yuan took a deep breath before he started speaking, "I tested my strength in the morning and I think it's around 150 tons and not 220 tons before I had that strength due to my physique effect."

Shen Yuxin heaved a sigh of relief as she thought that something had gone wrong with his cultivation, she smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter Yuan'er, you are still much more powerful than others of the same level, you haven't even taken any treasure or pills to increase your strength. As for your physique, do you know what kind of physique it is? I have never heard of this physique before." 

In the end, her voice was filled with curiosity and wonder, totally ignoring the fact that Shen Yuan had become weaker than before, she didn't show the slightest bit of disappointment in Shen Yuan, she just treated it as his physique's advantage.

Shen Yuan felt warm in his chest at the care of his mother, she didn't even ask how he knew and why he hadn't told her before, she was only looking out for him.

Shen Yuan thought for a second, he didn't want to tell that about his physique yet because he was embarrassed about admitting that he had a dual cultivation oriented physique. He made up an excuse, "I don't know what kind of physique it is mom, I only know that it increases my power randomly."

Shen Yuxin didn't press further as she saw that he didn't want to talk about his physique, she changed the topic and began, "Alright, let's start your training," She took out another wooden puppet but its vibes were different than the ones before. It was more aggressive and menacing. 

"This puppet is best for your current level, it can withstand 160 tons of force and it unleashed 100 tons of force." She spoke with a cheering tone.

Shen Yuan's face twitched a little as he asked, "Mom, are you trying to kill me with this puppet?!? I have never even trained, this will be a one-sided beating."

Shen Yuxin slapped her forehead lightly as she totally forgot about this, she put the puppet back and spoke in an embarrassed tone, "Cough, I forgot about that, let's first start with training your basic stances."

Shen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief as he thought that she was really going to kill him, he nodded his head and asked, "Okay Mom, how should I begin?"

Shen Yuxin began teaching him about the basic fighting stance, telling him where to place his foot, how to take advantage of momentum, where to strike, and how to dodge, she gave him a long theoretical and practical lecture where she made him do the poses so he can understand it better.

Shen Yuan kept absorbing the knowledge like a sponge and growing better at it at a visible rate. 

Shen Yuxin looked at it and nodded while saying, "Alright, Shen Yuan, we will continue training like this for the next 3 days."

Shen Yuan nodded his head with determination and spoke, "I will train until my body collapses or until it's time to eat food."

Shen Yuxin's face bloomed with a slight smile.

Thus Shen Yuan's daily training routine began, and the system kept giving him random quests for two days as well.

[Quest: Hold the hand of Huo Rong for 10 minutes.]

[Reward: 3x Dust Free Robes and 50 Chaos Coins.]

[Quest: Ask Bing Rong about what kind of man she likes.]

[Reward: Frost Jade Bed.]

…

On the third day, Shen Yuan finished his basic training, Shen Yuxin spoke, "You are really a genius Shen Yuan, you only took 2 days to nearly master the basic fighting style, even the other top geniuses take months at your age to learn it."

Shen Yuan smiled lightly, as even he didn't think that he would be so good at it, 'Looks like it's due to my bloodline, otherwise, my physique is dual cultivation oriented and it won't give me such a huge boost.'

Shen Yuan then thought about the challenge from which he ran away last time, he confidently spoke, "Mom, Take out the training puppet, let me make quick work of it."
