Xuehua's Training

- After 8 Years
   "Aww, I lost again!"
   "You can get stronger, you know?"
   "I'm not as extraordinary as you, though..."
   "The duel is over... and the winner is Xuehua!"
   "Yaaaay!"
   "It's surprising how much you've learned at such a young age!"
   "Hehehe."
   "Class dismissed! Go home!"
   "Bye-bye, teacher!"
  
   "Hmm, should I go back to training?"
   Oh? My name is Xuehua, and I'm 10 years old! I enjoy learning new arts and collecting jade stones!
   As Xuehua walked home, her mind buzzed with excitement. She couldn't wait to continue her training and discover more about the mystical arts that had fascinated her since childhood. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over Pingyao City's ancient streets as she made her way through the bustling marketplace.

   Along the way, she paused to admire a display of jade stones at a vendor's stall. Each stone seemed to shimmer with its own inner light, whispering tales of ancient wisdom and hidden power. With a smile, Xuehua selected a small jade pendant, feeling a connection to the stone's energy as she carefully tucked it into her pocket.

   Arriving home, she greeted her parents with a bright smile, eager to share her day's adventures. Over dinner, she excitedly recounted her duel in class and her plans to continue training. Her parents listened with pride, their hearts swelling with love for their determined daughter.

   As the night wore on, Xuehua retreated to her room, the soft glow of moonlight casting a serene atmosphere. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, she closed her eyes and focused her mind, feeling the energy of the jade pendant pulsating against her skin. With a deep breath, she began her meditation, As Xuehua delved deeper into her meditation, her mind cleared, and she focused on harnessing the energy within her. With each breath, she felt her qi, or life force, pulsating and expanding, resonating with the ancient power of the jade pendant she held close.

As she concentrated, a surge of energy coursed through her, lifting her consciousness to new heights. In a transcendent moment, she felt a shift within her being, a profound transformation as she ascended from the 5th stage to the 6th stage of the mortal realm.

In this newfound stage, Xuehua discovered the ability to manipulate time briefly, a skill that allowed her to bend the fabric of reality to her will. She also found herself wielding potent energy attacks, harnessing the elemental forces of nature to unleash devastating power upon her foes.

But perhaps most awe-inspiring of all was her profound connection with the cosmos, hinting at celestial realms beyond mortal comprehension. Through her cultivation, Xuehua forged a link with the vast expanse of the universe, tapping into its boundless energies to fuel her spiritual growth.

One of the most remarkable arts she mastered in this stage was Soul Resonance. By attuning her soul with the energies of the living world, Xuehua could communicate with sentient beings on a profound level. This connection allowed her to borrow fleeting strengths from the collective essence of life itself, enhancing her abilities in critical moments of need.

As Xuehua's cultivation progressed, her qi aura expanded, radiating with a newfound intensity that marked her ascent to the 6th stage of the mortal realm. After completing her meditation, Xuehua resolved to embark on a new path the following day. Inspired by the surge of energy and clarity she experienced, she made the decision to delve into a previously unexplored martial art known as Celestial Harmony Arts.
