The m, Yin got up, San lying right o her. He was still sleeping peacefully, his hair stig in all dires. She blinked a herself fall bato bed before stubbing his cheek.

  He grumbled and muttered a dry. "just five more minutes."

  Yin stupped him again and San cracked open an eye. "I am tired." he rumbled and Yin giggled o him.

  "M, sunshine." She said. He gazed out of the window and groaned. "Damn. This isn't supposed to happen."

  "Well, it's rare to see grumpy m San," Yin said while rising and jumping up and down on the bed-hopping out of it. Shivering when her naked feet touched the cold wooden floor. "It's also pretty early. The clock will be ringing in a few minutes. Why the heck did you sneak over anyway? I thought you were room-sharing with Oscar?"

  "He snores," San said and got out as well. "Loudly, and he was meditating the entire night. I didn't like the light, aher you nor Feng mind if I sleep here." He said and stretched. "Where is Feng, by the way?"

  "M rounds. She is training." Yin said, throwing him a pair of her pants. "We should go as well. M Rounds don't finish themselves."

  "Yeah." They ged out of their PJs and then walked outside. San threw her a few weights, and she joined in as they jogged where Feng was already stretg. "Tell me, Feng, how do you mao sneak out every siime like a ghost to practice?"

  "T-Talent," Feng told her with a cheeky grin. "L-Lets...." She stopped and stared behind them. The Tang Twins turned around and saw Jiang alongside Ning R's head in their dire. R crossed her arms, huffed, and then said with a tohat sounded a bit like Yu Hua on a bad day. "I will be joining you. Be happy that I am." She said and then joined in stretg.

  "First thing. You might want to get rid of those heeled shoes," Xiao Wu said, then threair of her spare shoes in R's dire. "We have the same size."

  She eyed the shoes and then ged out of hers. "P-Pants, too. B-Better." Feng said and walked to her and helped her stretch her shoulder out.

  "We start with light jogging," Jiang told her. "To warm up."

  Thearted running while the others joined in. All but Ning R were already wearing light weights as they made their rounds around the Vilge, following Ning Feng, who had dohe round before the day before. After a while, Ning R fell back, slowing, uo keep up their pace. Tang Yin the others to head ahead, slowly falling bad joining R.

  "Adjust your breathing; t the steps that make it easier." She told her. "Each step, t oime in, and thehe air out two or three times in small bursts in rhythm."

  "I know that." R retorted. "I am not stupid; this is not my first time running."

  "I get it, I get it, alright," Yin said, tinuing to join her lightly o her.

  "You cold be running ahead with the others." R said after a while. "it's not difficult for you to keep up."

  "I could." Yin answered her. "But I won't. One always stays behind with the slowest." She shrugged her shoulders and R looked at her as if she had grown two heads.

  "You are the stro; why would you...I mean, I didn't even know that someone could have two purple spirit rings at level 35 spirit power. Normal people would die doing that; it's above the ring age limit."

  Yin snorted. "That's where you are wrong. I am not strong. Ning Feng, Bro, and the others are strong. I only have lots of spirit power; everything else, I am nowhere near where I probably should be, especially when this is going offline." She held up her gloved hand. R looked at her, fused.

  "I have a touuch spirit power for my body, " she expined. I am physically strong, but I am nowhere near where I should be to be ued by it."

  "I never heard of that." R said, staring at her arm. "That is possible?"

  "Yes." Yin shrugged her shoulders. It is probably also a reason why I am almost a head smaller than my Twin brother. We were the same size until about two years ago; after that, it was like I stopped growing and remained like this."

  "In my , you would be a highly regarded Talent." R said. "Alongside your brother, you join if you want. No need for a or entrance requirements. With my word and your power, you would be in one of the most powerful s in a heartbeat."

  "No need," Yin told her off. "I have my , the Ta. I am even vice master. Why would I go to Seven Treasures, where I would be regarded as an exceptional Talent but have no real say when I am Vice Master?"

  R shut up and tinued running with them when Jiang fell bad joined in. "I take over, Yin, " he said, and Yin nodded, speeding up and joining the others ahead.
