As soon as Yan heard the message, he was excited and was about to agree, when suddenly a thought struck him.
"Wait, system? Do I have to be still, like completely still for the implanting process to happen?" Yan asked the system a little worriedly. After all, he wasn't like your typical cultivation protagonist who would spend years sitting in the same spot.
[Host doesn't need to worry. As soon as the implanting process begins, the host's body will come under the control of the system, and he will enter a sleep like state. The whole process of implanting will be like a quick nap for the host. Host will feel as if he had just experienced a quick nap.
Host can even enter the Isolation training chamber to train himself, though, the powers that are to be implanted will not be available to the host.]
Hearing this Yan was relieved, before another worry overtook him, this time greater than before.
"What is I was attacked during this time? This is a cultivation world dude. Do I have to be like those cultivators who have to ask for protection every time they attempt a breakthrough?"
[Again, Host doesn't need to worry, for the most part. The system will place an awareness barrier around the host. As soon as the barrier is broken by someone, something, or some attack, the system will take control over the host's body and respond in reflex.
The process of implanting will stop temporarily at that moment and host will regain control over his body. It will be similar to someone touching something hot and taking his hand away by reflex, before gaining control of his hand again.]
Hearing the system's response, Yan's worry was resolved a little, but he was still worried, and thus, was about to ask the system regarding them, when he was suddenly cut off by it,
[Host is reminded that host is in a cultivation world, and thus, Host needs to live with danger a little, as there is no place in this world that is completely safe.]
Hearing this response, Yan didn't know what to say, but he didn't dwell on it for long, as he knew that what the system was saying was true. Even if he asked for protection for someone, there was a chance that the same protector would betray him and try to kill him. This was a cultivation world after all. Steeling his resolve, he ordered the system to begin implanting, and soon, he was lost in the feeling of sleep.
As soon as Yan fell asleep, he was once again awakened, though this time, his mind was completely refreshed.
At the same time, he felt that he was still sleeping. If he had to describe this feeling, it felt similar to a very vivid dream, but there was a qualitative difference to it, as it felt much more vivid that a mere dream.
Soon, he heard the familiar system prompt, which asked him if he wanted to enter the Isolation Training Chamber. Accepting the system's suggestion, Yan found himself standing in a white cubic room, as if he had become Alice in resident evil, just he was wearing his clothes from before.
Looking around, he confirmed that he was the only one here, and that there wasn't anything or anyone else.
Soon, a screen popped out in front of him, describing the features of ITC to him.
[1. Allows the user to choose an opponent from all the people that he has encountered/seen, and battle them either one on one or one on many, at different intensities.
2. Allows the user to choose a terrain from all the terrains that he has encountered as a battlefield.
3. Allows the user to train his skills for an extended period of time without the risk of getting permanent or serious damage or dying by utilizing the principle of emulation and time dilation.
*NOTE: User cannot train his cultivation base/magic/chakra/spiritual strength quantity here, but can train in the control of said energies.
*NOTE: All the energy being used here is just an emulation and thus, host will not use the energy of any kind stored in his real body even when he trains here, though, to emulate reality, host will only be able to use a limited energy.
*NOTE: If host chooses to battle against opponents with lower cultivation realm than him, his cultivation realm will be limited accordingly to match theirs. Host's pure physical strength will also be reduced in accordance with the reduction in cultivation realm.
*More features will be unlocked at higher time dilation rates.
*Current time dilation rate – 1(Real):1(ITC)]
[3 ITC upgrade tokens have been found in possession of host. Would host like to upgrade the ITC?]
Seeing the features and thinking that it will be better to upgrade the ITC, Yan agreed to the prompt, and immediately looked at the change in time dilation,
[Current time dilation rate -1:16]
Seeing this, he was beyond happy, and thinking of starting his training, he looked at the possible opponents.
[Available opponents –
1.Acnologia]
Seeing the list, he was dumbfounded, but thinking again, he felt that it was logical, after all, he had never met any cultivator or beast in this world till now, mainly because he was in the middle of nowhere.
Thinking that something is better than nothing, he clicked on Acnologia, and soon, a muscular man with brown skin, long blue black hair, with blue markings on his body and face appeared in front of him a few meters away, and a new screen appeared asking him to set the intensity of the battle, between 1% to 200%.
(A/N: I took this concept from villain cultivator novel, and I must say that I agree very much with this % concept, so yeah, don't tell me coz I already know that I am ste*cough*borrowing this concept.)
Setting the difficulty to 100%, Yan just clicked confirm when the screen disappeared, and he lifted his head, just in time to see Acnologia's body suddenly disappear, and for him to feel a sudden pain in his torso. But before he could think any more and properly gauge the intensity of the pain, he felt his body disappear, along with all his senses.
Panic overtook him as he felt his senses disappearing from his body, when suddenly, he felt them coming back to him little by little, and he soon found himself standing in front of Acnologia again, who was looking at him like nothing happened.
In fact, the look on his face was so neutral that Yan felt that he was having daydreams, when a system prompt appeared and informed him of what had happened.
[You have died.]
[You have been revived.]
[1 Loss against Acnologia has been added to your battle log.]
Seeing these words, he finally understood what had happened. Acnologia had used his trademark speed to rip through his torso and kill him the moment he confirmed to fight him. Looking up, he could still see the neutral look on Acnologia's face, and he wanted to do nothing more than kill him, when system asked him again
[Do you wish for a rematch?]
Yan was about to agree when suddenly, a voice came over and stopped him form proceeding any further.
"Ah, I finally got to you kid."
Looking up in shock, he could see that the look on Acnologia's face had changed from a neutral to a smiling one, the same face he makes when he is looking for a fight. And as if to confirm his guess, a system prompt rang out to him,
[Quest (Character) – Dragon King's Trial
