I don't know how much time has passed, but I slowly opened my eyes. The image of the same white room once again entered my vision.

"Is it done?" A deep voice rang out beside me.

Turning my head, I saw Andrea staring at me with eyes full of anticipation.

"Yeah, it's done."

Hearing my reply, Andrea was happy. But not long after, he returned to his previous calm appearance, looking straight at me seriously.

"Alright, you must have felt this after successfully inheriting it. The Andrea sword technique is a sword technique that requires perseverance, persistence, and an iron will to master. You can't easily become strong just by inheriting my sword technique. You have to train it from scratch with all your determination. I guarantee that the effort you put in will not be wasted. Can you do it?"

He looked at me with a sharp gaze, waiting for my answer.

"I can do it!" I replied with a firm, unwavering tone.

I knew that from the beginning. I was ready from the moment I decided to search for this place.

A few sword techniques? A mere trifle. With diligent training, I shall overcome. Nothing shall deter me from my path. A little hardship is but a grain of sand in the desert of my journey.

"Good! I like your spirit." Andrea said and smiled with satisfaction.

"Alright, it's getting late. You've been here inheriting that sword technique for two whole days."

"What?!". I replied to Andrea in a panic.

"Then I have to go. Thank you very much for the sword technique." After saying that, I turned around and was about to leave.

Andrea's voice rang out behind me.

"Go straight ahead, there's a door there. Open it and you'll see the small path you used to come here. This time you only need to go a short distance to return, don't worry."

"Alright! Thank you...for everything!". Then I hurriedly left without turning back.

Andrea stood watching the young man's figure leave. His calm gaze from just now could no longer be maintained. A trace of loneliness appeared in his eyes. His face relaxed, he didn't look like a middle-aged gentleman at this moment. His current demeanor made him look like he had aged ten years.

"It's a pity that I can only meet you when I'm already dead..." He smiled, a bitter smile filled with regret.

Shaking his head, he erased his old appearance, once again standing straight like a sword about to leave its sheath.

"I'll give you a small gift. Consider it a thank you for chatting with me... and satisfying my wishes."

After that, his figure began to blur. He turned into a white dot of light and disappeared. The white room began to shake violently and quickly collapsed.

"Haaaaa... finally out of there!"

As soon as I got out of the tunnel, I sat down on the ground. I took deep breaths of the fresh air of nature.

While I was relishing the moment, I was struck by a sudden and overwhelming feeling of hunger, thirst, and agony.

'Does that room have the function of blocking hunger, thirst and part of the pain?'
