Dustwind Valley gathered in tense silence.
Miyu floated above the disciples, hugging her pillow, expression calm and unreadable.
"…Training."
Tien's knees buckled instantly.
Lin Ruyin stiffened.
Aurelius bowed deeply in readiness.
The memory of Miyu's Earth form still haunted every disciple.
Even now, they could barely comprehend it.
Tien whispered, trembling:
"Master… yesterday… when you transformed…"
Lin Ruyin slapped a hand over his mouth.
"We do NOT question that."
Auntie Bao sniffed proudly.
"She was beautiful. My baby has grown well."
Aurelius nodded.
"She radiated inevitability."
ALKA-9 adjusted her glasses.
"Master's purity levels yesterday surpassed divine limits.
Heaven is likely alarmed."
Up in Heaven, the Sterility Immortal was still screaming.

⭐ 1. MIYU DECLARES THE TRAINING ARC
Miyu pointed upward at the sky.
"…Heaven will attack soon."
Aurelius slammed his fist to his chest.
"We will be ready."
Tien openly sobbed.
"No we won't, please spare us—"
Miyu blinked.
"…We train."
She floated toward the open field.
"…Floor One."
Tien collapsed.
"NOT THE TOWER AGAIN—!!"

⭐ 2. EARTH FOOD BUFF TESTING BEGINS
Miyu opened her System Shop (visible only to her and ALKA-9).
She purchased a simple item:
[Popcorn (Luck Buff)]
Effect: Increases environmental luck.
A small bag appeared in her hand.
Miyu popped one into her mouth.
Instantly—
The wind aligned.
The sunlight brightened.
Clouds straightened.
Jin Haru's cube transformed into a perfect cube for once.
Even Aurelius stared.
"Master's food… influences the weather."

⭐ 3. CLEANLINESS COMBAT TRAINING
Miyu pointed at Aurelius.
"…Attack me."
Aurelius inhaled sharply, then launched forward with his cleanest, most precise sword strike.
A beam of orderly sword intent flashed toward Miyu.
She lifted her pillow.
*fwump*
The attack dissolved harmlessly.
Tien shrieked.
"She BLOCKED IT with a PILLOW—!"
Aurelius fell to one knee.
"…I cannot surpass you, Master."
Miyu shook her head.
"…You improved."
Aurelius's eyes widened, absorbing the rare praise like sacred scripture.

⭐ 4. ALKA-9 TRAINS THE COOKING DIVISION
ALKA-9 stepped forward, raising her pristine cauldron.
"Disciples. Beginning Alchemical Cleanliness Training."
Every pot, cauldron, bowl, ladle, and pan in the valley began floating.
Tien screamed:
"WHY ARE THE COOKING UTENSILS ALIVE?!"
ALKA-9 commanded:
"Lesson One: Survive the wash cycle."
High-pressure jets of purified water shot from the cauldrons.
Tien was blasted off his feet.
Lin Ruyin dodged but got corrected mid-air by her posture staff and dunked headfirst into a pot.
Aurelius engaged in hand-to-hand combat with twenty mops.
Solene quietly drew diagrams of the battlefield.

⭐ 5. MIYU ACTIVATES "CLEANSPACE"
Miyu raised her hand.
"…Watch."
She tapped the ground lightly.
A shockwave of pure order spread through the valley.
Rocks aligned.
Trees straightened.
Clouds re-arranged.
Tien's spine corrected.
A few disciples' emotional trauma dissolved.
Lin Ruyin gasped.
"Master created… a domain…"
ALKA-9 scanned the air.
"Purity Field identified.
Designation: CLEANSPACE.
Effect: Buffs all allies within range."
Aurelius bowed.
"This is the power of a true master."

⭐ 6. ENDING — HEAVEN SENDS A WARNING
A sterile beam of light formed in the sky.
Heaven's crest burned across the clouds.
A voice thundered:
"MIYU OF DUSTWIND.
YOUR TRAINING IS FUTILE.
MY GENERAL WILL DESCEND SOON."
Tien fainted on the spot.
Lin Ruyin hid behind a boulder.
Aurelius drew his blade.
Auntie Bao gripped her mop.
ALKA-9's cauldron glowed in readiness.
Miyu looked up at the heavenly message.
"…Okay."
The crest shattered.
She hugged her pillow slightly tighter.
"…Tomorrow.
We fight."
